Great info! I had wondered why runway shows often look nothing like the clothes sold at retail. Makes sense that they are designed by 2 different teams of people with 2 different sets of objectives.
Oh, yes-s! I have so enjoyed your videos/vlogs whatever they are called - because of the way you have shown the process. The green dress with the diagonal tucks especially comes to mind. I am here to watch whatever content you come up with! I do understand that a lot goes into each video but I want you to know that I go searching if I haven't seen a notification for 'a while' - did the capricious algorithm gods remove me? Are you/your family ok? Etc... I look forward to seeing how you develop a collection as well as the collection itself. Thank you!
Thank you! And yeah, my uploading can be a bit sporadic 😅 I’m trying to be better about it while also not compromising quality (finding little projects/videos that just naturally take less time.) Problem is I love all the big projects 🤪
Probably the most helpful video I have watched in the past three years. You explained exactly what I wanted and what I needed to know, cutting out everything that’s irrelevant. Thank you!
I have been seriously wondering whether there is a sweet spot between modern bra design and historic designs like stays, corsets etc. that is way better, at least for some people.
@@alessazoe I think, Regency is the period to look at for that. Back and bust support, but extremely comfortable and the silhouette works for modern garments. There are extant examples, that are basically just a long line 'bra' even, not a full length corset. Easy to make for a home sewist, as well.
I think that @raraavis7782 is right. Short stays from the regency period are exactly what you are looking for. That said. Modern aesthetic tends to call for more lacey and translucent fabrics than would be truly supportive in natural fibers and traditional shapes. Maybe a blend of sturdy fabrics for the band and lower cups and lacey/thin fabrics for the upper cups 🤷🏾♀️
@@alessazoe I have also been trying to work this out. My kirtle bodice is so much more comfortable than a bra, but it just doesn't look right with modern clothing.
what am I really interested in mostly is who is responsible and what this will end - all those crop-tops and crop-everything?! second - is it ever going to an end - the material became crap, no clothes lasts, quality is close to zero. thank you for your video, really informative
Thank you! The fashion industry can be a bit closed off, probably to preserve the mystique 🫣. But it’s a fun process, so I think it’s always good to share.
Quite interesting and informative. Sadly it contradicts my day dreams but I've known this for a long time. In a perfect world, everyone raves about my moderate cost and natural fibers mix and match separates that can be worn for years. At least I can live this in my head when I sew for myself and others.
This was so fascinating! I didn’t know this much went into fashion. I design (but in animation) and it’s also a lot of work and we sometimes did things concurrently but maybe not nearly as concurrently as fashion! Will you be sharing the process of creating a collection on your channel going forward?
Thank you! I imagine it’s probably a similar process in animation, it probably depends on the company and size and everything. And yes! I am sharing the entire process- I’ll be releasing a video shortly about beginning the process and then I’ll have videos for the individual looks.
Yea it does feel similar and I imagine it differs based on size (I worked for a small studio). Really excited to see your process though. I’m actually really curious to visualise what the whole thing is like now!
I love your videos. This one reminds me exactly why i get frustrated every time i see a "sewing a couture" anything video. If there's only one person involved, you are definitely not mimicking couture! Moreover, I wonder about a collection made by a group of sewists for the sewists, designed by the group together and manufactured with distributed duties similarly to how haute or demi couture fashions are made (a set cutter/embellisher/seamer/etc). It would be the ultimate collab.

Aw thanks! I’m glad it was helpful, it was actually kind of cathartic writing it all out 😄
I wish someone would design a plain, comfortable, support bra (made from natural materials) that can be repaired and altered if needed.
Oh my gosh that would be amazing- I feel the world of modern bras is an underserved wasteland all around.

This was so interesting! It's rare to hear from someone who's worked in industry before and I learned a lot.

It’s going to be really interesting seeing your creative process. This video certainly makes some of the parts of Making the Cut make more sense
Thank you! Yep- understandable that producers need to show a condensed version of the process 🤷♀️
@@anotherdreamgonewest and why talented designers might be mostly clueless when it came to the sewing part.
wow! looking forward to seeing your design art video (croquis?) and to following your design journey!

Im so excited to warch your design process ad you make your collection! Will you also have videos documenting the sewing process for each piece?
Thank you!!! Yes, that’s the plan- and I’m trying to host some sort of pattern sharing platform as well.
@@anotherdreamgonewest that sounds brilliant. Do you have or are you considering using patreon? I would definitely be keen to join
So excited to see where this goes!
Thank you!!
I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes!
Thank you!!!
I am so excited for the next video!
Thank you!!
