It's a beautiful design, and a beautiful dress 💜

[@kathiegemmell7319]

Oh I love both the fabric & this pattern. I wish I still sewed....

[@buscando03]

I so love you and your creativity ❤ you have this easy around you and your voice is so calming… blessings always ❤️🙏🏼

[@ShannonRochon]

Is it poosible to just create the skirt? I also love the pattern she chose!

[@kobaltkween]

​@ShannonRochon Sure! It should actually be pretty simple, if a decent amount of work and yardage. It's just gathered tiers, so basically a series of longer and longer rectangles with ribbons at their joining seams. The big deal is that by the time you get to the bottom, that's a really long rectangle and a pretty tight gather.

As an Orthodox girl, this is so so beautiful!!!

[@Ami_Ama]

Jewish Orthodox or what kind of Orthodox?

[@Hibiscus_flxwer]

​@@Ami_Amachristian orthodox

[@Hibiscus_flxwer]

I am also orthodox ☦️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Ami_Ama]

Aaaa okay. I thought that it's not common for Christian Orthodox to wear such headscarf. I mostly see pentecostal or evangelist women wearing so. That's why I was asking. Wasn't sure if it's Christian Orthodox or Jewish Orthodox. Sorry. :)

[@stephaniemcpherson2558]

Even we “conservative” Christian women or those who value modesty can enjoy this one. Need more like this!!! ❤

[@SS_DT]

So sweet. There are so many hate-filled people in the world, especially within religious communities. But Miriam always spreads love and has such a welcoming aura. I've learned so much from her about Jewish culture.

[@FernandoTorrera]

Full of love?
Hmmm
Would like to see how much love she has when one of her multiple kids comes out as LGBTQIA.
Statistically the more boys the more likely the youngest will be gay.

[@feathersong4134]

​​@@FernandoTorrera Yeah at this point I've stopped trying with religious people. They are their own hate. They're so self righteously up their own rear ends that they glorify themselves as these imperfect little sweet angels. I literally watched a highly religious Christian woman the other day incessantly cuss out and threaten 3 woman and their children because they called her out for scamming people. "But they're not allll like that" Nah, just like 90 percent of them.

[@cherrymccall4806]

@@FernandoTorrera , this is what is wrong with people today, too much negativity being passed out.

[@Aria_tash]

Aww i love this!! i come from an ultra orthodox jewish background, and there are NO dresses that can be worn easily without tailoring, especially ones as beautiful as this!!! thank you so much for sharing!

[@Barb5000]

The dress itself was beautiful and you can tell it made the woman wearing it feel more beautiful. You are an amazing designer, but you are an even more amazing human being. I have always believed that Angels walk the Earth, but we fail to recognize them because their wings are hidden behind their hearts. Every time you do something good for someone we get a glimpse of your wings. God bless you.

[@ohyesitsjackies]

I know this is a slightly older post, but I’m just seeing it and I just love the way you worded all of this! Has me almost teary-eyed because I’ve had people come in and out of my life over the years who absolutely are angels, and the way you described it is so perfect. And I completely agree that Gunnar is one of these angels ❤

[@debbieatkins7895]

Absolutely beautiful

[@tierneykurfess2618]

That velvet ribbon is such a stunning detail!! Beautiful

[@shexsolidxtrustx]

it's appropriating native ribbon skirts . they gave no credit or appreciation to the originators but instead claim it as their own

[@Sosoosooo]

​@@shexsolidxtrustxyou know, instead of leaving rancid comments everywhere, you could have just mentioned that this design reminds you of whatever it seems to remind you of. It would have been such a better comment: so much nicer and informative. Now all I know is that you have poor communication skills but I still don't know anything more about the ribbons (which really are more culturally spread than you seem to think, dear. I've got a ribbon dress from my old uncle's 1920's french velvet factory, so... you know... calm down and breathe for two seconds...)

[@veannegilchrist9925]

And you sewed it with LOVE…respecting her culture❣️I LOVE YOU GUNNAR❗️🥰😎

I love the dress and the reasoning of sleeping in two separate beds. I sleep like a 2 toddler in a boxing match. No man needs to sleep next to that.

[@aprilstarchild79]

My partner and I often sleep in separate beds, because it's like sleeping next to a rotisserie chicken XD

[@Blue-ej7rw]

​@@aprilstarchild79I'm sure that's great on cold nights unless he spins as he cooks

[@FernandoTorrera]

Is he the father ? then yes he should share the burden and rotate with you.

[@yibelula23]

My husband turns and moves in bed so much. I'm really thinking of a second bed for real. 😢😢

[@khills]

@@yibelula23might be worth trying the European model first, and getting your own sheets, first. My husband death rolls like a crocodile in his sleep, taking all the sheets and blankets with him. First time we slept in a European bed, where I had my own set of sheets and blankets and didn’t freeze in the night? Our solution was found. 😂

[@andanotherthing...]

I've never seen her before. But this is absolutely heartwarming. What a wonderful gift! 👏

[@wayneboyd4372]

Thumbs for the dress... and thumbs up for any parent who ensures that EACH of their children goes into adulthood without financial struggles.

[@simplysoulenergy7248]

So pretty! I dress modestly and this dress shows that it doesnt mean boring, sad or extreme. It's just perfect for her ❤

[@SpringStarFangirl]

Ohmygod, seeing you sew a dress for a Jewish woman like me while adhering to the rules of tzniut makes me so goddamn happy it's actually wild... I'm crying y'all. Thank you.

[@YourBFAstro]

I think the pattern is on his patron if you have the ability to sew of know someone who will for yoj

[@lnoorplaylist]

wow she's jewish I thought that women is muslim anyway. our teachings on dressing are similar so there can be confusion

[@SpringStarFangirl]

@@lnoorplaylist she's Jewish! If you look at the way she's tied her headscarf, it shows her neck, which iirc is not allowed for hijab. Miriam is also a pretty Jewish name. But yeah, she's Jewish!

[@YN-rg9fw]

@@lnoorplaylist well every major religion promotes women to dress modestly but the head scarf is different and muslim couples can sleep in the same bed

[@Caramelletje]

​@@SpringStarFangirlI know a lot of Muslim girls with the name mariam and similar versions of the name tho

[@acetrainerkat]

That wink was everything

[@jp13119]

it really was...

[@michellev2194]

Gorgeous as always! I’m only disappointed that she didn’t have a matching headscarf! Beautiful job Gunnar, your designs are always stunning!

[@ms.c.2897]

I was thinking the same thing. Can she wear just any fabric for a headscarf? Or is it specifically a religious item? Like Maybe it has to be blessed or made in a certain way? Like kosher so to speak?

[@savage.4.24]

A hat a wig or scarf are all accepted but it varies on sect. The idea is your hair must be covered.

[@cusimilooking4965]

I watch your videos because of the positivity that accompanies your creations. Your empathy and compassion contagious. BTW, I would never look beautiful in a dress because I'm a masculine man who would never contemplate putting one on, especially on a daily basis. All things said, I admire what you do and how you deal with the public. God Bless your kindness!!!

[@iamnizhani]

That dress was breathtaking and she looks beautiful in it
I don’t know you or this lady but this was heartwarming

[@lisamckay5058]

Beautiful. It's just beautiful, the love that's shown between two people connected through social media. And the dress is as lovely as the person who's wearing, as delightful as the person who made it.
