Recreating the Iconic 'Atonement' Dress on a Budget 

If you still feel the need to let me know I did something "wrong," then read the following FWC (frequently written comments) so you don't have to repeat what's already been said, because I already know! 😄 1. "The dress is the wrong color" Yes, it do be. The real dress was custom dyed a pretty grasshopper green. Because the fabric was so fragile, it was actually 2 separate pieces: a bodice and a skirt, which they had multiples of in case of tearing. Thus, each one was a slightly different shade of green. Sometimes it looks more emerald, sometimes more mossy green. In short: I couldn't achieve the same green 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2. "The back is too high" Uh oh..someone didn't watch the video 😬 Yes, it do be. If you blacked out part way through the video or left the room to make sure your food wasn't burning, I'll summarize what I said: I wanted the dress to be more wearable for casual occasions and I purposely made the back higher for that. I didn't want any wardrobe malfunctions. It is 100% acceptable to modify things to your comfort level. 3. "The bodice drape is wrong, it should be triangular and...." I'm no expert or professional, and I never said this would be an exact recreation. I made it out of $6 jersey for Pete's sake. This is the way it ended up draping because I made the back higher. I'm happy with it, but if you're not, then I guess it's a good thing you're not the one that has to wear it 🥳 maybe you should take the energy you used to write me a dissertation on what I did wrong to go and make your own! 4. "The fabric should have been silk." You really didn't listen to a thing I said in the intro and it shows.

Sham THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️

Thank you! It’s extremely difficult to find that exact shade of green unfortunately since the real one was custom dyed, so I had to settle for what you see

@@watersofglass I thought that might have been the case. Thank you!

Wow thank you so much!! 😄 that makes me so happy to hear!

@@watersofglass You are so welcome. I was hooked when you bought a practical fabric and looked up "godet". It takes out the elitism found in other videos and made this much less intimidating. Also loved the humor! 😂 Best wishes!

Hahahaha thank youuu!!! I'm glad my videos come across as friendly to all skill levels, I've been sewing for many many years at this point but I don't consider myself an expert by any means, I make so many mistakes and sometimes just wing it 😂 I'm always learning as I go and I love to teach others! it's all about having fun in the end!!

I believe I used about 3 yards, or a little more than 2.5 meters! I remember buying 4 yards to be on the safe side though and had a good amount leftover. So a little more than 3.5 meters total 😁

Thank you! 🥰
