How to make a Merida Dress (Time Lapse)

A lot of people have been asking me where I got my dress or how I made it. When I started this dress, I really had a hard time finding some good (and free) information on how to make it. All the patterns I could find had seams in the bodice of the dress, which I did not want. So I did a long search on the internet and eventually managed to make a dress I am very happy with! I filmed almost the whole process of making the dress in this time lapse, and now I finally uploaded it! I put subtitles in it in which I try to describe what I am doing every step.
The quality is not the best, it might go a little fast and some steps are missing, but I hope it can still help some of you in making your own cosplay (or just entertain you 😉 ). I am an amateur seamstress, so I will not say this is the way you should do it. I only want to share how I did it and my experience with it. If you know a better way to do it, go for it! My dress is in general based on the one that Angela Clayton made. You can find her blog about it below, with some extra tutorials I used. I hope you like this video, and if you have any questions you can always ask them!
The tutorials I used:

It may have been easier to make a separate poet shirt to go underneath, and just sew the straps at the Elbows and Shoulders. And the ruffle on the sleeve could have been faux. Also a hand hem, although historically accurate isn't necessary if it causes so much trouble. I've whipstiched entire ballgowns for productions. Although it looks good, it is a time factor you have to consider. But logistics aside, your Merida costume is lovely. Great problem solving and patterning abilities. 😊

Thanks a lot for your comment! I learned a lot by making this dress and looking back I would have done some things differently indeed. Something like a chemise might have been more accurate and less tedious to make. Although the other method did save me some fabric and gave me a little bit more control over how the "poofs" looked like in the end. I actually kinda like hand sewing hems and for this project it looked really good so I am really happy I did it. But it takes sooo long indeed! hahahha.

@@dotorocosplay While it is true that the white on the sleeves would historically have been part of her shift, I found myself thinking that your clever method would indeed make it easier to get the extra “pouffiness” just where you want it, every time you wear the dress. Very nice!

Hello, can you tell me how difficult it is to sew a dress like this yourself? I have just found this video and was immediately impressed. Unfortunately I don't know how to sew. Is this something for beginners? Can you manage it? Is there a "tutorial" for such a great dress?😅😌🙏

@Lara-hb1yn
@Lara-hb1yn 3 года назад
when knowing that the white bits are actually a shift/ chemise underneath, does anyone else mentally scream "it's not supposed to be done that way/ that's why its so difficult" like yes I know it's been modernized but it just makes it feel too costumey to me when I see this. That said I do this that this is a wonderfully done dress and is very beautiful. I 'm going to be making something very similar in the future. and OMG a zipper! it feels like cheating but it's awesome
