Making an Oogie "Boogie" Dress! (vintage style)

  • Опубликовано: 24 сен 2020
  • HAPPY AUTUMN!! (officially, but we all know Autumn lives in our spoopy hearts) I wanted to kick off the season with a sorta "cousin" of my Sally Dress, so I figured an Oogie dress would fit the bill! This is honestly one of my most favorite projects that I've made in a while, and NOT JUST BECAUSE I'm addicted to weathering..... okay that's a big part of it.
    I love you guys and I hope you like it!

    This dress just OOZES Oogie! All the little details (the stitches, little rips, weathering) all give it so much character.
    Speaking of details though, your little stop motions to introduce each day, with the dice and the bugs, are just so clever and fun! I think it's clear how much fun you had with this project and it shows in how brilliant the final product is!

    Aaaaaah this looks amazing!!
    For the 'frumpiness' of the bodice, might I suggest adding boning to it? Specifically rigilene boning is really easy, you can just sew it into the seams by machine and it will help a LOT with keeping the bodice up and smooth.

  • @ThePixiixiq
    @ThePixiixiq 3 года назад +219

    A tip for strapless: When one constructs strapless pieces from scratch one takes out width in the top edge by slimming in the top inch of the seams, to make it go ever so slightly in on the top edge. Using a pattern as you are doing here it will most likely not use this in the construction as it can look a little strange to someone without this knowledge. The easiest way and what I imagine will be most useful for your kind of process is to just pinch in the top of each side seam, and if needed on the other seams too. Hope this is useful information to you (or anyone else reading)!

    • @kathrinelovell4025
      @kathrinelovell4025 3 года назад +35

      You might consider some boning as well, to keep it a little rigid on your body, so you won’t get the droop.

    • @ThePixiixiq
      @ThePixiixiq 3 года назад +9

      That's a good idea! For the quick and easy, cheapest and for not too much stiffness and wear you can get fabric covered rigiline boning. Personally I struggle calling it boning but for a quick project like this it's pretty darn handy to get a *bit* of support.

      Especially for a strapless dress it helps a lot. It is also a Giant Pain in the Buttocks. I worked with boning maybe twice in my life and I hated it.

    Would highly recommend to sew the skirt and bodice lining pieces and the burlap pieces as units separately! You could sew the lining and the burlap entirely separately (like you were making two dresses) but for stability I recommend the following: sew skirt burlap and embroider, then sew skirt lining (same for top). Sew skirt lining and skirt burlap together at the waist. Then sew bodice lining and bodice burlap together at the top of the bodice, and sew just the bodice burlap to the skirt pieces. The lining of the bodice can then get neatly folded over the skirt seam allowance and sewn down to hide it. This way you won’t get itchy seams. I think it would still work with how you inserted the bugs too... you did a such great job! It looks gorgeous :)

    Does anyone else actually read Frodos voice in what you imagine Frodo to sound like? (In my mind he has a distinguished British accent) Yeahhhh...I'm gonna stop drinking now.

    I've been planning on making an Oogie boogie dress/cosplay for a while now and I couldn't decide on what kind of style I wanted it, but this has given me loads of inspiration. Thanks. Also, I love all your sewing videos they're so fun to watch x
