Running the measuring tape down to the floor to style the train makes so much sense! Thank you for this! I just got a dress form and I'm steadily watching your content to learn how best to use it!
I'm about to start making my wedding dress. I'm self taught as well but not to your level. You explained a lot of the process that had me confused, this is gold.
I'm self taught (and still learning) and I'm working on drafting a pattern for a dress and this was SOO helpful! Idk just yet what a godet is lol but even so this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
New sub loving your work... I used to sew . Graduated from Fashion Institute Of Technology in NYC , I specialized in evening wear. I stopped sewing when I moved to Nashville. I am in the process of making a wedding dress and watching you gives me hope and excitement. Thanks for posting and sharing your gift.
You are really talented Amanda. I'm a new sub and I've been wondering why I hadn't discovered your channel earlier. I love sewing and LOVE anything bridal or special occasion wear. I sew from home, and as a mum with two toddlers makes it very challenging for me, thought of giving up, but since I discovered your channel, it kinda encouraged me. If you can do it successfully, then I think I can. You inspire me a lot and PLS, don't ever think of quitting. You deserve more subs and your channel will grow way more than you expected.

Yes pretty much. Lol! We trace the design onto paper so that we can reuse the same pattern over and over again and even alter it into something new without having to start from scratch.
Mom that Sews this is why I love your videos. Other people make a big deal about how intimidating draping is and don’t explain things well. With you I feel confident to give it a try.
I don’t know how to exactly phrase my question. I’m not doing a godet, btw. So for the center front panel, you flare out the panel at the princess seam. What do you do for the side front panel at the princess seam and the side seam? Does the SF panel get flared out at the same angle to match the CF at the princess seam? Then at the side seam, do you also flare out the SF panel? So you would have the SF panel flared on both seams instead of one straight and one flared? Does that make sense?
My name is Gwen I've been watching your tutorials for about two weeks. I have a question about how you prices your gown.. And if you could show use a cost sheets for your finish garments. And how you actually use your price point for each finish produce.
Mon that Sews I actually saw the video that's what made me request sample of cost sheet. And how you achieve your pricing. Sometime creative people are more visual. Which I am one of those people. Maybe you would in the future for us visual people .😊
I bought the Giselle dress from House of CB, which is mermaid style, but now want to shorten the train as I feel like it spreads way too far around my back. Is this something easy for a tailor to do? How would they go about it?
The reason why you have have to pinch fabric when trimming extra is before trimming fabric its fall on a different body section and is fitted on that body part. But when you cut away extra fabric it falls on a different body part. Since body has curves and hollows when fabric placement differed fit has to be readjusted. English is not my first language so I dont know how to explain it better. Hope you can understand what I was trying to say.
Omg you are so talented. Girl, could you PLS help me. I bought a dress for my wedding reception and it is a mermaid bottom dress. But I am SUPER short .. this dress is ridiculously long on me. I’m worried about how my seamstress will hem / re-shape the bottom of the dress . I’m worried it’s going to ruin all the volume of the dress because I need probably about 4 inches cut off it !!! There is no horizontal line in the waist of the dress for her to lift it up that way....
Is it possible to do this with a dress form that doesn’t go down to mid thigh like yours does? I think I want to make my own wedding dress eventually (I’m not even engaged lol) and this is like the exact silhouette I love. I’ve been thinking about doing a custom dress form from bootstrap fashion, but none of them seem to come down quite as far as this. They seem to stop right under the butt, rather than at mid thigh. I think that would probably matter with a mermaid dress :( I’m wondering if there’s any reasonable way to use this method with those dress form patterns. I love the idea of a custom dress form because I really don’t plan to make anything like formal gowns for other people. And they’re much cheaper than buying a regular dress form.
Yes it is possible but just more tricky. I suggest buying a mermaid dress pattern and make a mock up with it to fit it to your size. Not a fan of bootstrap
@@MomthatSews okay that makes sense, thank you! Really? I’ve just heard about them recently and so far have seen really good reviews. What do you not like about them? I don’t want to spend them time/money if they’re not good lol
@@MomthatSews oh that sucks! I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you so much for the feedback! I just found your channel recently and I’ve already learned so much!

Hey Ana! Let me know if you have any questions.

So draping is essentially smoothing/arranging a piece of fabric over a form and tracing the design you want so you know what 2d shape it is?
Yes pretty much. Lol! We trace the design onto paper so that we can reuse the same pattern over and over again and even alter it into something new without having to start from scratch.
Mom that Sews this is why I love your videos. Other people make a big deal about how intimidating draping is and don’t explain things well. With you I feel confident to give it a try.
Wow thank you!! I am glad I can help

Please do Lava gown of catriona gray
I bought the Giselle dress from House of CB, which is mermaid style, but now want to shorten the train as I feel like it spreads way too far around my back. Is this something easy for a tailor to do? How would they go about it?
I am a Beginner Beginner. what is the material that you are pinning at the beginning ?
Muslin/Calico (unbleached cotton) fashion designers use that to create their mock ups to see how the garments fits and it's cheaper!
hey thank you for sharing this :* it's really helped me:'
What type of fabric is best for draping
Is that a fabric pen used in the video? I would like to buy one for dress making.
The reason why you have have to pinch fabric when trimming extra is before trimming fabric its fall on a different body section and is fitted on that body part. But when you cut away extra fabric it falls on a different body part. Since body has curves and hollows when fabric placement differed fit has to be readjusted. English is not my first language so I dont know how to explain it better. Hope you can understand what I was trying to say.
Right!
Do you have to extend each bodice piece or just the center front and center back
Omg you are so talented. Girl, could you PLS help me. I bought a dress for my wedding reception and it is a mermaid bottom dress. But I am SUPER short .. this dress is ridiculously long on me. I’m worried about how my seamstress will hem / re-shape the bottom of the dress . I’m worried it’s going to ruin all the volume of the dress because I need probably about 4 inches cut off it !!!

K. What do you need my help with? You can email me pictures monthatsews@gmail.com
Mom that Sews thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼
What to do in case of larger sizes?
Please ma.. teach us how to make a dress with plunging neckline with mesh fixed on the plunge
I am actually planning that exact dress now! Have the fabric too. Stay tuned
💃🏽 You channel will go far .. one more thing ... a lot of people relate more with flat patterns ... please consider us that can’t drape please
@@gloriabebz9567 Totally understand!
What kind of fabric should I get to make the pattern

I’ve purchased and the shape was wayyyyy off especially in the bust area. I invested so much time into making it now it’s just sitting in my garage
@@MomthatSews oh that sucks! I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you so much for the feedback! I just found your channel recently and I’ve already learned so much!
❤️❤️❤️. I’m so glad! Also thank you for joining the channel!

Hi! I loved your video. Do you sell patterns?
Yes new collection coming
How would you do this with a halter top?
Halter as in the straps or raising the neckline to a true halter?
@@MomthatSews a neckline to a true halter
Lol yeah.... I think I’ll just buy one instead. Great video though. I just don’t have that kind of patience.
