I will be going fabric shopping in the NYC fabric district with my new daughter-in-law in a month or so to pick fabrics and lace for her reception ensemble. Wish us luck!
Ahhh April! I love all the fabrics you picked out! I cannot wait to see the final result! It's going to be beautiful! Thank you for sharing your design journey with us!
I love all your lace choices! Can’t wait to see more of this series. I haven’t sewn often in the last few years but I’m always inspired by your videos to pick it up again.
Love the lace, it is my favorite type. I love re embroidered Alencon lace. So, I await the outcome with joyful anticipation. You will look like you are frosted with sparkle and clouds.
You are so good with your drawing. I was very nervous about my drawing. I finally put together a drawing that I copied again and again. This was about 50 years ago.
I went to Journal a couple weeks ago when I visited LA and Ray was so nice and helpful. I went back twice 🤣! I'm excited to see your dress come together.
What a great surprise! Didn’t know you were going to do this series. It’s my favorite kind. REALLY start to finish. Can’t wait. Also, so glad you’re getting to have your big celebration!
I'm so excited to see! Hope you have/had so much fun! You made such beautiful choices! It would be cool at the end if you could make a 'bridal' mask out of all the scraps and some non woven interfacing just to see how gorgeous you could make it!
I love your hair. I think I was looking at it the whole time. I'm am also super excited that you're making your own dress again. Seems like a challenge with all that lace. But I know you got this. Looking forward to the finished product.
I've always thought one day I would make my own wedding dress 👰 using pieces of fabric from my mother dress to make it special but I've never thought my sewing abilities were at the level.... who knows maybe one day when the time comes they will be x thank you for this video 🥰😊❤
When she said “My designs are constantly changing”, that’s so me, i was thinking that I’m the only person who’s final design is way more different than the planned design 😂
That fabric shop - OH WOW! I wish we had such fabulous fabric & haberdashery stores like that here in Australia. Never seen one even remotely close to that. It's an Aladdin's cave! I'd love to work in such a place & be surrounded by such wonderful bolts of fabric, etc. It sent my head spinning. It's what I dream about. Fabric stores here are quite rare, esp family run ones. They are small AND expensive. Australia is a foodie & cook's paradise, but unfortunately a sewer's desert. Not much choice here at all. So unaffordable too.
Oh I wish I could do some more fabric shopping right now. I think I spent a little too much on fabric last month lol Love the fabrics you chose and can't wait to see the final products. Also, i love watching your vids because they inspire me to do new fashion vids as well. Thank you!
April, would you ever make a video sharing your learning journey from a beginning seamstress to where you are at now? Like, detailing how you approached learning all these different design concepts and sewing skills and what that process was like? I would love to hear your story about how you made that journey! Unless you already made that video and I missed it 😅.
My ex bf lives near flower st in dtla and so whenever I see him we go fabric shopping in the fashion district. I’m going to go to that store and say hi to Ray!
Hi April ! 💕 What a great project, I am myself a French sewing RUclipsr and just posted 2 videos about my wedding dress making which looks a lot like your inspiration designs ! The videos are in French but maybe they could be interesting in any way 😃 kisses from France Raphaelle
I remember searching for lace in my fabric district a I couldn't find a black beaded lace that was black butterflies and not just embroidery for my graduation ball gown (spoiler alert: the ball was cancelled due to the pandemic) and I really wanted to look like a queen since my design is a black or royal purple velvet ball gown with beaded black lace along the hemline and a white silk hairbow with black lace to give me a "good girl does wicked" vibe but I decided to take a break from it since I know that they might have something else next time.
Does anybody know the pricings of these fabrics. I want to get into sewing but it seems buying fabric costs more than just buying a dress from a fast fashion store.
Hi April, put portuguese subtitles in your videos please, love your videos but i don't understand very well what you say (I translated this comment on google) lol

I love all your lace choices! Can’t wait to see more of this series. I haven’t sewn often in the last few years but I’m always inspired by your videos to pick it up again.
I love hearing that! Thank you for watching :)
Kathy made my prom dress, she told me about your channel! I’m a designer too but she really inspired me a lot, she is great! Love your content 💙
Eric is ride or die sticking with you on all the fabric shopping! My fiance would have never stick it out lol
He truly is 😭 he does love when he spots a chair though 😂
@@coolirpa lol that's totally fair! I CAN'T WAIT for the next part of this video!!!
I loved shopping for bridal fabric with my daughter! My greatest joy was being able to design and sew her wedding dress!
Awwwww love that so much!
I'm 3 weeks into making my wedding dress so this is so exciting to watch. You inspired me to start sewing 4 years ago :)
Awww how sweet! Thanks for sharing
Looking forward to the next part 😊
Each individual piece is stunning on its own, I can't wait to see your final design!
Lace gloves or detached flare sleeves would be a fun accessory to make with the extra lace! Would look so glam in photos :)
Very pretty fabric. Your dress will be beautiful!
Journal Fabric is my favorite store. I love Ray, he gives the best hugs and has the most beautiful fabric.
Kathy is the fairy Godmother we all deserve❤.
Saying this because i had some great mentors in my life.
I seriously can't wait for more!!
Love the lace, it is my favorite type. I love re embroidered Alencon lace. So, I await the outcome with joyful anticipation. You will look like you are frosted with sparkle and clouds.
I have very little sewing skills but I still want to go to a big fabric store like this
You are so good with your drawing. I was very nervous about my drawing. I finally put together a drawing that I copied again and again. This was about 50 years ago.
that sketch tho 😍
I went to Journal a couple weeks ago when I visited LA and Ray was so nice and helpful. I went back twice 🤣! I'm excited to see your dress come together.

Always is a pleasure to watch a video of you creativity mind! Can not wait to see the final result with the process of it.
Beautiful choices. I’m sure your dress is going to look fantastic and original.
Nice tips from your mentor! Look forward to see what you come up with!
When she said “My designs are constantly changing”, that’s so me, i was thinking that I’m the only person who’s final design is way more different than the planned design 😂
I love your dress design and the fabrics you picked out! I have so much respect for anyone who makes their own wedding dresses. It looks so difficult!

gorgeous! i'm soooo living vicariously through you!
Thank you for clarifying
With the extra fabric of the third lace, you could make the removable train.
Yeah or matching thing for your flowergirl?
With the extra extra fabric from the third lace choice you could make the detachable train and maybe even a face mask just my thoughts
The some of the second lace fabric looks like it can be used for the sleeves/straps/back.
My wedding is in Nov 30th. Even I'm interested to stich my own dress. Thanks for the tips.
The lace haul at 5:18 looks so nice. Great video
I can't wait to see this. you always come up with such nice designs
this quenches my need to make a wedding/reception dress although i would totally mess it up lol
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
I’m excited!!!
They are so pretty! I can't wait to see everything together 🙂
Oh I wish I could do some more fabric shopping right now. I think I spent a little too much on fabric last month lol Love the fabrics you chose and can't wait to see the final products. Also, i love watching your vids because they inspire me to do new fashion vids as well. Thank you!

Yes! He’s so cool and nice!
The dress looks lovely, like a 1920's style. My wedding dress decades ago was all lace ♥️ I love all lace wedding dresses like you 😊
Laaaaaccccee!! Waahaha! #Yes
Loving your top, I was hoping you would stand up when you were changing your sitting position
It’s from my Walmart transformation video. You can find it on my channel

I hope you make your own Hmong wedding dress when you do the beautiful celebration!

Is that skirt fabric called Bengaline? I've used bengaline before and it's really lovely to use and comfortable to wear!

What type of fabric was the white fabric? 🙂

I could never do this. I’m too indecisive I could never decide on the specific lace or materials that I want
Oh no! The part 2 isn't out yet😪
Now I gotta wonder how the dress looks
Does anybody know the pricings of these fabrics. I want to get into sewing but it seems buying fabric costs more than just buying a dress from a fast fashion store.
