    Omg this is so amazing! I just have one question: isn't the rigilene itchy against skin? I've always felt like it was "wrong" to let it be in direct contact with my skin but tbh I've never tried it in a garment haha was the rigilene also directly against the skin on the original VW corsets?

    • @thedressmakingproject
      @thedressmakingproject 11 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much for this comment and the question! :-) Well, the Rigilene is right against the skin, also in the original VW corsets. I think the newest ones have a bit of a different construction so the side seams are encased, but the rest of the boning is pretty much right against the skin. It doesn´t bother me, personally... don´t feel the itchiness there. However, I see how this could be a problem for some. In that case, you can always make a casing for the ridgeline or even whip-stitch some bias tape to cover them up. If you want to have a go at that, I can make a short video explaining the process :-)

    When you started wrapping yourself on paper and tape I was so relieved, because it's so much easier to understand and replicate than all that patterning mathematics 💀 Adding a quick list of materials would have been very helpful, since you go through a lot of different fabrics and papers for the mockup, but nothing we can't pick up by rewatching the video and making notes. Great video once again ❤ Looking forward to watching your future content!

    • @thedressmakingproject
      @thedressmakingproject Год назад

      Yes, the wrapping method might be a bit messy, but it is the most versatile in creating a fitting pattern. Thank you for the list idea, that would have been handy indeed! I will try to remember this for the next videos so they are a bit more craft-friendly.

      Yess! Couldn´t agree more! Andreas is doing an amazing job, but the designs by Vivienne will go down as forever classics in fashion history, no doubt. Currently, I am working on a dress pattern inspired by VW, possibly to use for a wedding dress, but I agree: the jackets, the skirts, everything is so iconic and is a must have!

I actually found you because my daughter and I are going to make her wedding dress and she wants it to be in the style of a Vivienne Westwood wedding dress. I was looking for how to get the draping - I know you slash the pattern to open it up to get the added fabric you need but I can't work out how to do it against a corset background. Hmmm. Loved this video, thank you. And I see you put up how to do the pattern - brilliant, thank you. Very good video.
