      SAME I was just gonna comment something like this, like I hate when companies like Free People or Urban Outfitters or whatever sell items made by like child slaves for $500 dollars but Lirika posts videos of her studio all the time with her team of well-paid women knitting every Cloud sweater and painstakingly sewing jewels onto blouses one at a time.... I get why people assume that it's just another greedy factory company if they're just learning about it now, since that's the norm, but it makes me angry to see her get hate from people who see all of that careful labor-intensive work and then STILL complain about the price

      Rachel just proved it takes hours to make the dress and if you don't spend money for quality fabrics it's not going to be comfortable. It didn't cost her $40 to make it because where is the valuation for the time put in. I would consider sewing for people but so many people don't want to pay for my time and effort. Fast fashion has killed peoples perception that we do have to pay for the time that it takes to make things.

      Honestly it's a testament to her talent and determination that she not only came up with an impressive take on a not-simple dress, but did it using actual demonic fabric. I feel like organza is one of those lessons all sewers learn at some point - it looks so pretty and shimmery you get drawn in, then before you know it you're in ripping, slippery, itchy hell!

      It's the same silhouette for sure, but in terms of style lines, there really isn't much, if anything, that hasn't been done at least once, so there's probably an earlier reference than SoM.
      I do agree that dress is highly underrated. The volume of that skirt was absolutely perfect for the choreography. A perfect example of how design can enhance the storytelling experience in the right way; without the audience being aware of it.

      But, Liesl's dress does have three lines of piping, not two, no ruffle trim, and a different neckline, so I guess you're right, they're completely different except for the material. Good eye! /s
