Something my mother taught me with fabrics like these that just fray no matter what, is to slightly and very carefuly burn the ends of the fabric with a lighter, since it's just plastic it melts and gives it a very nice finish. Also the dress turned out beautiful! as someone who's not very experienced yet we sometimes notice every little detail that's not perfect, but fortunately most people don't 😂

@olgahein4384 11 месяцев назад

Yep, for sealing thin and flimy synthetic fabric a lighter is best. I remember making organza roses hairpins and even complete Kanzashi headpieces out of synthetic satin and organza with a candle and hot glue instead of rice glue and a bamboo board.

@luciatat4084 11 месяцев назад

Wow, such a good advice! 👍

@elly1725 11 месяцев назад

I do this for the ribbons on my pointe shoes because otherwise they fray into pieces. It works so well, but if it does burn it discolours the fabric.

@lahcutts 11 месяцев назад

Building on this idea- when you have a LOT of seams, you can use a soldering iron. I have done this to melt the edges, can be done before / after using scissors, but always try on a scrap of the fabric, in a well ventilated area! May also make the soldering iron unsuitable for anything other than fabric.

@brunagava2921 11 месяцев назад

Exactly

@tuulitriin 11 месяцев назад

The dress looks beautiful at least :D When making a circle skirt, I would recommend letting it hang a day or two after cutting it out, since the diagonal tends to stretch with gravity a lot more than it does on the vertical and horizontal grain, so letting it stretch and then making sure it is still round could help with the skirt unevenness issue.

@Marskilius 11 месяцев назад

I learned something new today! Thanks for sharing this tip 😊

@karynbray1004 11 месяцев назад

I make my “circle” skirts with 8 gored panels. It involves more sewing to put the panels together but in the long run, a much more stable skirt.

@AllThePeppermint 11 месяцев назад

@@karynbray1004 This works well for most fabrics, but not ideal for sheer fabrics wherein the seams would stand out.

@cb9825 11 месяцев назад

I sew clothes as a hobby and this dress makes me want to buy some fabric with 3D flowers. They are so beautiful!🤩

@sharonsosa4289 11 месяцев назад

It's beautiful

@angelicrobles6292 11 месяцев назад

This gown is GORGEOUS, and the time, effort, and detail you put into it are just --- WOW! 🤩 I'm sorry it didn't turn out to be sturdy ☹️. It twirls so magically! ✨

@Loepsie 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! 😊

@DelaVillaSofia 11 месяцев назад

Ok, small piece of advice here: whenever you're cutting a circle skirt, hang it by the waist and let it rest for a day. Then, go back in and adjust the bias, which will have elongated during the night. Also, for delicate corsets, I advise using a sturdy foundation fabric to do all the strength, and the delicate bits should not be as tight. Hope this helps!

@11521 11 месяцев назад

I was about to comment this!! 😀

@dunkel429 11 месяцев назад

That dress looks stunning! And I agree on the fabric struggle. I swear that picking just the right fabric is usually harder than the actual project! It will take me months sometimes to find just the right fabric, and 50% of the time it will be problematic in the making of the garment anyway.

@carlylewis7088 11 месяцев назад

I like the detachable sleeves. Id wear them for a daytime garden function and go sleeveless for an evening event

@chrissi7560 11 месяцев назад

Such a beautiful dress, wow! Honestly one of my favourites yet! Have you ever considered making it a skirt and blouse, so detached pieces to wear seperately? I could imagine them looking great combined with a simpler/one colour top as well and possibly more practical to wear... evene more options with the sleeves as well

@chrissi7560 11 месяцев назад

Oh, I just reached the "non wearable" part...

@lenac.4192 11 месяцев назад

For synthetic fabrics I always melt the hems, since pressing won't do anything and those fabrics shift and do their own thing. By using fire you will melt the fibers and if done carefuly it's pretty much invisible. However that being said a point of warning: if you do this, practice first, get a feel for how close to the fire you can get and how long to hold it there before the fibers either catch fire or melt to fast creating holes and such (trust me, I've done both on finished garments because I was to lazy to practise). Also be safe when doing this, it is fire afterall, so stay safe and take safety precausions. All in all this is the best way I have found to get the most invisible and fail safe way to prevent fraying on slippery and hard to work with synthetics (like organza and chiffon).

@TheFeralFarmgirl 11 месяцев назад

Also, if the dress is coming apart at the zipper, you could hand sew a matching peice of trim at the edges. (Think thick braided trim like wedding dresses)

@cinb9145 11 месяцев назад

Love the look! Thanks for sharing what you liked and didn't like. Too many RU-vidrs would just say "Look at my beautiful dress" and not share the problems they had making it.

@loissage3630 11 месяцев назад

There is so much value in the experience, still beautifully executed. I can’t wait for your next creative endeavor. ❤

@verashepherd 11 месяцев назад

The dress' the way tooo sweet 🌸 For a couple of years I'm trying to find courage for taking sewing lessons from my mother. I think I'm closer and closer to this considering all the videos I'm watching on RU-vid...

@kaitlynnmccomiskey4533 11 месяцев назад

First, this is beautiful and I love it! You did great!! about some of your issues though: You can easily hem the bottom (and make it look nice) with some plastic horsehair braid (cheap and easy to find on most sewing supply sites). This is so easy for circle skirts and adds a bit of stiffness to the bottom hems as well which might not be needed here but oh well. Just sew it with a small seam allowance to the bottom hem and then flip it inside and topstitch it down. you can make it even crisper to help with your no ironing problem by sewing 2 lines of topstitching but that's not necessary. It's my fav hack for finishing dress bottoms that I cant do a rolling hem on. Another tip (for the future because I cant even tell so its totally fine here!) is to straighten up a hem like this one on a circle skirt where measuring is hard, pin it to your dress form and let it hang for a day before cutting the hem a specific distance from the floor. I like to use a paper towel roll or a rigid measuring tape if you have one but they do sell things for this if you want something made for this.

@imogentait5744 11 месяцев назад

Okay even though it’s not 100% wearable or practical, it’s it absolutely GORGEOUS and looks STUNNING, definitely a flower meadow photoshoot in the future I think…

@imogentait5744 11 месяцев назад

Also I’d LOVE to see you make the prêt à porter version, it will be so valuable to see what you’ve learnt and how to make that fabric usable!!

@Jelske 11 месяцев назад

Love the result! Such a pity that it’s not as wearable, but ow I’m really excited for the pret-a-porter version! Hearing your reflections on the process and your lessons is super valuable

@loverizzato9081 11 месяцев назад

That would make a perfect fairy dress!! Reinforce the ripped bits and find fairy wings! Doesn't matter if it's uneven on the bottom frayed, it only adds to the whimsy!!!

@stedlouie 11 месяцев назад

This dress is very beautiful. Your sewing skills are improving with each project and it shows.

@elfenscheisse 11 месяцев назад

If this dress ever gets decluttered - i want to have it! Even though if it didn't fit. I would just look at it every day and be happy. I just love these kinds of dresses. To me, this is your masterpiece.

@TayaSews 11 месяцев назад

Even if the fabric is a disappointment - It looks so good!! I've been watching since you began sewing and you've come such a long way in your skills 🌷

@lauragutierrez4634 11 месяцев назад

That dress sure photographs well, looks beautiful! Can't wait for the pret a porter version

@junkivicky 11 месяцев назад

The dress turned out truly dreamy and cannot wait to see how the wearable version turns out! 😊 I also love the wrap dress, it looks so cute on you! That might actually be a piece I sew for myself one day.

@Loepsie 11 месяцев назад

The wrap dress was one of my favourite projects to sew! It was really easy and came out gorgeous. Strongly considering using that pattern again this year 😄

@aliiannucci3135 11 месяцев назад

I'm obsessed. I think this is my favorite thing you've ever made. It's a shame about the fabric situation, but for what it's worth, it looks gorgeous on camera.

@NadiasNook1 11 месяцев назад

Your dress turned out absolutely beautifull!

@Bookwormscififan 11 месяцев назад

The positive from this adventure is you learned things! I always go to buy fabric in person, then once I’ve used it and liked it, I’ll buy that exact fabric online. Test, then buy 😅 Otherwise, the gown looked amazing! I’d love to see the more wearable one!

@ColleenMarble 11 месяцев назад

It's beautiful! What if you seal the edges with a flame (candle, lighter) to at least stop the cut edges from fraying? French seams may not look good on a sheer fabric if you can't press them or if the fabric is stiff. Same with hems. If you run the cut edges through a flame after cutting but before you sew the seams, they would have less bulk.

@sarav2209 11 месяцев назад

i just love florals so much. also, andrea from andrea's fashion galaxy would call those pirate sleeves!

@marywalker5397 11 месяцев назад

Excited for the slightly more casual garden dress!

@patriciahamel5674 11 месяцев назад

This design is so good! I hope that you can eventually redo it with better fabric, because it is gorgeous, and it would be great to have a more wearable version.

@justynaaleksiejuk1802 11 месяцев назад

I am absolute fan of this color! The dress is very cute and beautiful. I wish you the best photos in her.

@tamaraeads3650 11 месяцев назад

Turned out so beautifully! Maybe you can remake one that’s more wearable since this one is not.

@Beading_Kate 11 месяцев назад

Whimsical dress! I love how it turned out. It looks fantastic on you!

@Loepsie 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!

@quicksilvertears921 11 месяцев назад

The result is spectacular for photographs and video. Wow!!! I am so happy you made this because it will inspire others and feed your knowledge and experience in sewing. Wow. So beautiful.

@lisakraatz3794 11 месяцев назад

Woah I‘m baffled! It literally gives those Teuta Matoshi vibes you were going for, I swear it could be designed of her! Absolutely stunning, wish I had it in my wardrobe. Could you imagine making a sewing pattern out of it?

@mmansour88 11 месяцев назад

I am really enjoying this series and how honest you are about what worked and what didn’t. The dress is lovely

@Hevynly1 11 месяцев назад

I'm so sorry to hear that it's falling apart because it's just beautiful! Love the length and everything!

@bethanyhutchinson6714 11 месяцев назад

I think it turned out gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the things you loved and didn’t love about it-it helps me learn along with you! I agree with you; circle skirts are the best! I always feel like a princess in them, even if it’s a very casual one. I’m eagerly awaiting your more wearable version! 😊

@venlakirahvi 11 месяцев назад

THANK YOU for presenting a realistic image of your projects. It's encouraging to see that even the better sewstresses have projects that don't turn out perfect or as you expected. Nevertheless, you did fantastic work and the dress still looks beautiful!

@marisadaniela6 11 месяцев назад

Watching the ads for loepsie's revenue purposes but also to psyche myself up for the reveal!

@breestraw 11 месяцев назад

I've made a dress with 3d flowers before. It needed some fixing but by that time I decided that it looked too frilly on me. Now looking at your dress, I wish I had given it another chance. Your dress looks so lovely

@vannajay8267 10 месяцев назад

OMG! This dress is gorgeous! You look stunning and beautiful in it. This is my favorite one you've made as far as formal dresses go. Love it!

@Veemerica 11 месяцев назад

De jurk is prachtig, ondanks de door jou genoemde gebreken. Wellicht een tip, als je huidkleurige elastiek gebruikt dan valt de rand weg als je de mouwen draagt. Ik hoop dat we de ready to wear versie snel zien.

@LornaKelso 11 месяцев назад

It's absolutely gorgeous! The prettiest garment you've made. I love it so much.

@lcwaves 11 месяцев назад

This turned out absolutely gorgeous, I am sorry the 3D fabric is so problematic :( But you did an amazing job on it!

@krystallights1325 11 месяцев назад

The dress turned lovely! I love the idea of the detattachable sleeves!

@trippinwithgrandma5718 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! Loved the dress, can’t wait to see the ‘wearable’ one

@hollylane47 11 месяцев назад

The dress is a dream!! ❤️ So much of your hard work and time went into it, I feel bad in the end it isn't something you can continue to wear. This video was so soothing to watch, and I love the camera work and music. Needing a mental getaway and your video is such a lovely escape. ❤️

@jenninstitches 11 месяцев назад

There is transparent elastic you can get and it works great in sleeve cuffs when you are working with sheer fabrics because you really cannot see it. It is a lovely way to hide things. It also can be used to gather sheer fabrics when you want as minimal handling on the fabric to prevent fraying. It is think so you can sew and overlock/serge through it. Using a lighter to seal the ends of this kind of fabric is really helpful as well. This turned out lovely and I think this is a fantastic colour on you.

@thecozyfeather 11 месяцев назад

it turned out so BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to see the more wearable version!! I love how the sleeves turned out too! 😍😍

@munka214 11 месяцев назад

The dress is gorgeous. Sorry the fabric started to fall apart :( I'm excited to see the garden dress round 2 though!

@candy11401 11 месяцев назад

That dress is so very beautiful, it does look like a wedding dress

@itsjusthen 11 месяцев назад

Looks great even if its just an instagram dreas lol. Your uneven hem might be because you have to let circle skirts hang at least a day so the bias can stretch, the recut the hem. You can also take out the zipper and put in corset lacing if its too small! It would definitely add to the princess look as well.

@Emmezali 11 месяцев назад

OMG IT'S GORGEOUS! I literally thought when you were showing your gown in the garden that it was an instagram dress! And later on you said it yourself haha. Well done. Beautifully designed indeed. I also thought that before you said it.

@lilcherryblossom 11 месяцев назад

Learning the ways of fabric is a life long journey. Sometimes it makes absolutely no sense. Regardless, you tackled the project beautifully AND decided to make another dress with the same fabric?! You have more resilience than I do as a seamstress!

@NellieChristopher 11 месяцев назад

Love the dress! The colors, style and flowers are beautiful! Good luck on the second version! 💖😀🌸🌷🌟

@martacz.4794 11 месяцев назад

The fit of the dress is SOOOOOO GOOOOOD. Love, love, love it

@JenneeB927 11 месяцев назад

So beautiful, Lucy! I love it with the sleeves! It just adds that little something something. Maybe you could use the dress to practice your seams on the floral top layer. It is truly beautiful dress. So dainty and feminine. ❤

@MisteurJoe 11 месяцев назад

You did an amazing job with this fabric, the shape suits you perfectly !

@annatiernan1474 11 месяцев назад

I have curtains in that same material! But without the 3d flowers. I am very impressed with your dress, it's lovely!

@DragonriderEpona 11 месяцев назад

If it frays that badly, you might want to do a rolled hem. Takes a lot of time to sew it by hand, but it will hopefully be worth it. (Unless those 3D roses decide otherwise and it becomes a pain in the posterior 🙈) Other option would be using a ribbon or, better, a bias tape at the hem, so it won't fray anymore. Would give the dress a completely different look though.

@manonjoliton5284 11 месяцев назад

I don't care what your color analysis said, lilac is DEFINITELY YOUR COLOR, omg you look so stunning in this dress ! 😍 You did a really good job with this dress, you are very dedicated,i'd probably have abandoned this right after the top 😂 Also, your hair are especially beautiful in this video ! Did you do anything special ? i have fine hair that tend to frizz like yours and i found that oat milk generally help a lot (applied 30min before shampoo) Henna too but it's soo time consuming

@manicantsettleonausername6789 11 месяцев назад

This dress turned out magical!

@maceymooo 11 месяцев назад

the skirt is so perfectly puffy you look absolutely lovely

@ElanorKella 11 месяцев назад

The gown looks stunning and I love the sleeve version. They bring more balance to the look. Circle skirts can be tricky. I would pin the ruffle to the skirt and let it hang for a day or two. Parts of circle are on bias and parts are on straight of grain. That's why the hem is uneven after some time. Bias parts stretch under the weight of the skirt itself and the ruffle. After it's stretched, you can even out the hem and sow on the ruffle.

@cakeeeetime 11 месяцев назад

@emilycakes683 11 месяцев назад

Love it!!

@avasophia1859 11 месяцев назад

You are absolutely right, the design is stunning!! 🌸💗 I’m not an expert on circle skirts, but some of the hem length issues could be from not letting the hem drop out for a few days, rather than imprecise cutting out.

@mjlSews 11 месяцев назад

The dress looks gorgeous, it's such a dreamy design and it looks great on you. Perfect for a summer wedding! I feel you on the fabric quality - I actually considered using this fabric for my own most recent gown, because it looks so pretty, but I was very hesitant about the quality so I went with a different fabric in the end. I'm sorry you had to deal with the fabric fraying and misbehaving 😅
