Oh! The floof! It's mesmerizing and so so cute. I think a pair of butterfly wings for you would make you not only a sparkly rainbow butterfly princess, but a sparkly rainbow butterfly fairy princess. Happy pride!
How enchanting! Any individual who loves to wear dresses to Pride would L❤VE to wear that dress. Those butterflies are so very lovely. I haven’t been to Pride in years because it’s so hot here in Houston, well over 100 degrees. Many of us in the community have petitioned to get the date changed to October and from what I understand they’re trying to make things happen. I hope you have fun! You’ll look divine. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
The newest trend, butterfly rainbow dress, so soft and cupcake. You fit right in with the fairy garden. Sash looks lovely. This was such a fun sewing project. Thank you for sharing :D!
I 100% like the butterflies "flying" upwards. Maybe you can just dot on some fabric glue where the rolled hem is pulling away? It is such a cute dress!
I really do love the dress! The color is so flattering to your complexion. I know you chose the darker pink for the sash to "define the waist and for a pop of color," but I am wondering if you chose a sash that would be a light lavender ribbon (about the color of your eyeshadow...) Yeah, I know, your dress, your interpretation🎉 The only thing missing is a wand with a crystal star and flowing, glittery ribbon streamers. Then you could grant wishes at 20 bucks a pop and have a little side- hustle!
I am thinking that you totally made the right decision with the direction of your stripes. The defining of the stripes and the way you can see the colours so well, make it an awesome sight. For lamme, I have had some success with binding with satin bias (as in encasing the edge) but like you have encountered, it can be a beast. I think I saw a youtuber once use sparkly puffy paint on a lamme hem. Really, whatever is best for you. But congrats, what a lovely dress.
I love it!! Thanks for the heads up on hemming lamé. I made a bride's maid dress in '75-ish where I gathered Swiss dot chiffon over a simple cotton a-line. I wish I'd known your incredible pocket method back then! Have fun at Pride!
Omgosh, I love it! You made the rainbow butterfly sparkle princess dress of your dreams! That's so cool. I love all your work, and while I will not be making this dress, you have inspired me to make the goth forest whimsy dress of my dreams, so thank you. 😂🎉🎉❤❤ Happy Pride! 🌈 🏳️🌈 🌈
Sometimes a dress that's done for yourself, and for a particular idea that you find is very important, is just as exciting as the big project that takes months and Wows everyone. I love the time you spent explaining yourr process and designing. a "VSG".
OMG, yes! I love everything about this and I want my own! No idea if JoAnn's has the fabric at my store but this is everything I'd want and more! Enjoy wearing it to pride!
Really pretty. I am SO picky - I wish it were longer...but you are enjoying it so much. The sash was excellent decision. With the voile layer, the rainbowy gauze - I'd have tried a flat overlock, wider with longer stitch length, in a different colour thread each for the needle and two loopers rather than trying to do a narrow tiny stitches which perforate it to tearing. I'd probably have had no more joy than you.
Happy Pride! 🌈 Fingers crossed you have better weather than we did to match your beautiful dress. We had ample cause to get out the rainbow umbrellas - when the wind would let us - but we still had a fabulous time.
Get out!!! Its so cute! I'm wondering if you could try fusible tape for the lamé hem then run it through the serger. All the layers speak to me sooo much! 🌻🍄
Thanks! That sounds like an interesting technique - I've never tried that before. Would it wind up showing through the sheer fabric, or when you press it, does it become sheer as well?
@LadyRebeccaFashions I think I'd try on a scrap first, it's pretty thin. I've never worked with lamé but I just hemmed a chiffon skirt by (wrong side) marking a line, narrow (but longish) zigzag over a 30 wt thread, iron at hem line, now zig zag from front basically overcasting the edge of the hem line and encasing the added thread, trim the excess folded up fabric. It worked really well, was easy, and is a very soft hem. I learned from a video called "Fine rolled hem for sheers" by kennethdking. I'd love to know what you wind up doing
This is an absolutely amazing piece! I love it so much. ❤ I wish I had your talent. I would love to sew my own clothes. My mother and grandmother were both amazing seamstresses. I did not unfortunately inherit that gene. 🫤. I enjoyed watching your video. I think you popped into my feed because I watch Stephanie Canada sometimes. I just found her somehow too. You know, the You Tube fairies working their magic 🪄. I’m glad you popped up. Absolutely beautiful dress! You look stunning in it. I’m sure it’s perfect for pride, and well wherever you desire to wear it. I mean you would spread sunshine wherever you went. 💝 who could be sad seeing you in this beautiful dress? bravo 🎉
Don't put yourself down for not being born with superb sewing skills.. I don't really think that anybody is. It's something that comes with knowledge and practice! 😊 I have learned so much just watching videos like these, even if I never watched them for that purpose 😃 I feel like sewing is a place where you can improve pretty quickly, and yet there is nearly always new things too learn ❤️
Thank you! I honestly think that sewing just takes practice. You definitely don't want to start with a project like this, but if you start with some basic projects, you'll build up your skills quite quickly! I have a video from a few years ago with tips on getting started in sewing (or more specifically, historical costuming, but it applies to regular sewing as well). I definitely recommend you check that one out!
that looks like a tissue lame. I have made so many tissue lame skirts my goodness. a straight panel skirt for pride. I love the irony here Looks so awesome!!
I think the dress turned out lovely. You make a beautiful butterfly princess. For me the answer is no I will not be making princess dresses anytime soon, at least not for myself. Just not my style.
OMGoodness Gracious! That dress is everything!! I now want one lol but I've got just over a year until my wedding and I'm crocheting a lace overlay layer and sewing an underdress (a little overwhelmed 😆) I may have to try my hand in 2026 with this! BTW butterflies 🦋 are my favorite
I'm late for Pride Month but early for next year! What a darling dress. It As my mother would have said... it looks good enough to eat. You are so talented!
Wow Rebecca, This is a dream dress! It came out amazing. Last year I made a pride dress and it was a disaster, so much so that I still haven't put out a video on it but you've inspired me to do it... maybe lol I'm still traumatized (by the dress making process)
I am actually working on a butterfly princess dress at the moment , but it's using the leftover fabric from my latest regency dress so mine is all silver and lavender.
I made a rainbow dress to wear at the midsumma march last year (didn't march this year for family reasons) but will probably bring it to CoCo. ... i feel like if you edge the plastic organza (i don't think it's lamè) with fray chek it might work better to roll hem it - maybe a real rolled hem rather than a serged one?
I was hoping at first to do the real narrow hem as opposed to the serged one, but it just didn't want to behave. I did actually have a section of the rolled hem that got caught on my tripod while taking pics, so I need to redo that, but the rest of the serged rolled hem seemed to do okay. I'm hoping it will last! 🤞
We have to remember we still have to pay: the people making the fabric, the people packaging and distributing the fabric, and the people selling the fabric. Bargain bottoms prices actually make me very uncomfortable.
@@IonIsFalling7217 It's pretty much the same fabric. If it didn't come from the same sweat shop, it came from the one next door. Im not giving Joanns an extra *$20 a yard* for the privilege of shopping there.
Tbh, you can't really. The butterfly fabric would probably do fine being hand washed - I'd be more concerned about the lamé, and glitter tulle would just wash out all the glitter. So it's one that has to be spot cleaned.

I love the butterflies! This is such a fun, float-y dress! 💜

This dress is so stinking cute - and you look so happy wearing it!
Thanks!

It's fun to see you do something simple that you don't stress too much about. Fun when a project goes so easily. :D
Thanks! Now it's back to the stressful historical cosplays. 😉
I love tne idea of a gathered overlay over a circle skirt! I will have to remember that. Best of both worlds.
The newest trend, butterfly rainbow dress, so soft and cupcake. You fit right in with the fairy garden. Sash looks lovely. This was such a fun sewing project. Thank you for sharing :D!
The gathered straight panels over a circle skirt actually looks incredible-I’ll have to try that!
Wow, it's just perfect. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time during the reveal.
Thanks! ☺️
This is by far the best dress that I've watched you make! Absolutely gorgeous and just fitting you so perfectly. 🎉🎉.
Enjoy, Princess Lady Rebecca! ❤
Aww thanks!
I 100% like the butterflies "flying" upwards. Maybe you can just dot on some fabric glue where the rolled hem is pulling away? It is such a cute dress!
It's so pretty! Also I always love your reveals as you pick the best places! Rainbows and roses... Happy Pride!

Butterfly Rainbow Sparkle Perfection! Looks SO pretty and fun on you. Happy Pride! 🌈
Thanks!
This may be my favorite of all the dresses you have made! It perfectly suits you, and the time of year. Well done!❤
Thanks!
What a fantastic dress, and that park is really lovely.
Thanks!
Awe... This dress is sooo pretty!! I love seeing you walk amongst the flowers as you look like a fairy princess!! Have fun at Pride!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks! ☺️
@@LadyRebeccaFashions You're welcome! 🙂
Lovely dress. Super fun and the layers really make it magical. very tempted to make curtains and other projects using similar fabrics.
It’s so fun!!! I’m just imagining the butterflies dancing in the breeze.
Such a cute and fun dress ❤ the finished project just looks so nice!
Beautiful floofiness! Well done! 👍🏻
Love love LOVE this! It's absolutely gorgeous ❤
Yay for sparkly princess dresses!
Turned out so beautiful.❤
Thanks!
I love it! The sash is the perfect finishing touch!🩷🏳️🌈
Oh my goodness, this dress is gorgeous; the sash makes it pop!😍💗
Thanks!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions You're welcome!
I love everything about this.
I really liked how the pink cotton and the lamé looked together
This is my favorite dress you’ve ever made! It’s so cool
Aww thanks!
So good! I love the fluffy skirt
looks great and i love it with the sash!
I love this dress so much!!!! 😱😱😱🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks! ☺️
I truly love that stripe dress/blouse your wearing.

Puff paint is such an interesting alternative idea to fray check! Thanks!

Thanks! The butterfly fabric is actually the Etsy one I linked in the description, so hopefully you'll still be able to get it there. ☺️
you make the whole world so much brighter!!💥💫🎇👏👏
Aww, thank you!
Love love love it! I think it is my favorite of your makes.
Thank you!

With lamé as I recall, I used to use a narrow hem foot for the first pass of the hem and then turn it in and stitch in the ditch.
Very, very beautiful
Thanks!
You are the prettiest sparkly butterfly rainbow princess
Thanks! ☺️
You ARE a Rainbow Butterfly Princess!! Please tell us about all the compliments you got wearing it for Pride!
Thanks! I'll find out this Sunday! ☺️
Beautiful as always❤
Thanks!
Too cute!!!😍😍😍❤
Thanks!
Happy Pride! 🌈 Fingers crossed you have better weather than we did to match your beautiful dress. We had ample cause to get out the rainbow umbrellas - when the wind would let us - but we still had a fabulous time.
I'm a little worried about that! The forecast keeps going back and forth between rain and not. 😬🤞
This dress is glorious. ❤❤
Thanks!
I love that butterfly fabric!!! 💜💙💛💚💖
Such a fun and beautiful dress.
Thanks!
That’s freaking adorable 🥰 ❤

I hate that almost nervous feeling where you're more anticipating being itchy than actually being uncomfortable.
Haha, yes! That was what I worried about before putting the finished dress on, but luckily my fears were for naught.
You look fabulous, such a cute dress, I can see little kids saying "mum I want a picture with the fairy princess " , because I would, ❤
Thanks! ☺️
Lovely dress and it suits you like🥰
This is an absolutely amazing piece! I love it so much. ❤

You, this dress... I don't even... Perfection! 🌈💜🩷💛💚🩵

You could add a knit stay tape over the seams on the sleeves and that might help with the itching. I love the dress!!
that looks like a tissue lame. I have made so many tissue lame skirts my goodness.
a straight panel skirt for pride. I love the irony here
Looks so awesome!!

Thanks! Good luck with your wedding dress project!
@LadyRebeccaFashions you're welcome! And thank you so much
It’s so cute! You should make butterfly wings using the lamé and glitter. They should be easier to manage with hot glue!😂
Thanks!
Beautiful dress! Can you melt the hem?
I'm not positive. I think if I had a hot knife, possibly, but unfortunately all I have would be an actual flame.
I love the dress and you look amazing in it
Thanks!
Mesmerizing 🎉😊

I need a princess dress. The way to get one is to be brave like you and make one. :)
You totally should!

OMG that is so gorgeous ❤ Your face is lit up 💖
Thanks!
The lavender base fabric looks fitting for a Rapunzel outfit. Was the dress that you were wearing while making the butterfly dress from Eshakti?
Do you mean the rainbow striped dress I was wearing towards the beginning? Yes, that came from Eshakti.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
That is adorable. I would have to wear a slip under it. Itchy makes me bitchy.
Thanks! And the lowest layer is cotton (other than the petticoats).
30 a yard?! Try again Joann!
Right
