Firstly.... I know how ambitious this is, hahaha! I'm legit trying to recreate a masterpiece as far as craftsmanship goes.. BUT I love a challenge. I would also like to note that I'm not recreating these for profit/ trying to detour anything away from McQueen... This is just an appreciation project trying to further my skillset. As a self taught designer, I learn on EVERY project, and this one in particular REALLY challenged me!
The smocking took almost 4 full days. It wasn't;t perfect, but it got better the longer I did it, ha! The tortoise shell harness was really a feat. I created the pattern on a dress form, and my friend vectorized the pattern, and cut it out on my Cricut Maker from Clear Worbla plastic. We then printed the tortoise shell print onto a clear vinyl( clear because we wanted light to come through it like real tortoise shell.) I chose to make it lace up, because I was sending this dress to environmental activist/ Drag Queen Pattie-Gonia, and I had never actually fit her before. This was our first creative project together!

Every video he uses more complex techniques and makes even more unique dresses. I love seeing all of the amazing creations and seeing him learn at the same time.
Me three♥️
Me too
Looks so cool and I love the dresses too
Yuppers! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Creative and joyful.
Anyone who has ever sewn anything in their life just cried with the amount of work that must have gone into that. Completely solo and with no assistants to do the beading? Pure talent and dedication.
I just learned how to make a pillowcase with a zipper yesterday 😅
Took me nearly four hours
And I used a machine. No hand anything involved
Don't you mean the bee-ding 🤦♀️🤣
@@TheFandomCollective lol!
I came back to watch this yet again because you absolutely slayed that honeycomb smocking
The effort was worth it. It looks amazing
I thought I was the only one watching multiple times. Like I’m going to gain some knowledge to see better if I watch him enough! (I won’t. I only wish I could sew! )
This is absolutely stunning. The final look with the wig and makeup was perfect.
No way! This is amazing
I've been sewing for 48 years and I've never seen such spectacular work. You're very talented and patient.
Wish i could design
@@notwerkinginthishouse8634 design is just bringing various ideas together. The more you see that you love, the easier that becomes. Learning or coming up with the techniques to make them is often tougher.
Holy jeez! You are the best! The honeycomb is too much I can’t - it’s literal art - it’s textile art - I love it so much.
I love. You. See. You. Work. Hermoso. Vendiciones
4 days. Sounds like a good quarantine and Netflix binge activity.
I know insane right, the patience and dedication as well as skills... Kinda inspiring though as well as overwhelming, when you think about it, probably because it's such a quick short video for a complex process, and looks like he just waved a magic wand, or he is a sort of magician - VOILA !
Wow, gorgeous.
Absolutely agree!
This is pure talent can we just acknowledge the nails compliment the dress when they are sewing ❤
You are without question the most talented person I've ever seen.
Gunnar: We created the harness using a Cricut machine.
Me, looking at my Cricut: We have GOT to do better.
Ha ha ha!!! Too funny!!!
Best! Comment! Ever!😂😂😂
@Rach Even the Explore Air 2 will cut materials like fabric, birch, cork, various foams, and magnetic sheets! The maker is definitely the one that does acrylic, balsawood, thin metals, and the like, though. A thing of beauty. 😭
@@janetp4268 Thank you, friend! 💗💗💗
I’ve never even heard of them and y’all already got em... 🤦♀️ dammit I’m always behind haha 🤣
Whenever I look up the word skill in the dictionary.....Gunnar Deatherage's picture is included in the description. Unbelievable amounts of talent this man possesses!!
Could not agree more! I'm so obsessed with watching his shorts! He's amazing
This beautiful dress is a literal masterpiece. Love it ❤
What a triumph! You are so talented!
This dress totally deserves to be in a museum - utterly wonderful
Except it already exists
It’s seriously a piece of art!
Sublime!
Where’s your workshop? I just want to see this place where you create your art.
@@mochaabunn The McQueen dress is a work of art. This is a copy. He did a great job but I’m pretty sure even Gunnar wouldn’t say a copy is art.
The beehive hairdo was a great touch. Those little bees were adorable.
Clearly I know nothing about sewing or dressmaking but gorgeous turnout.
Absolutely gorgeous Gunnar!! So talented.
Wow!! It was worth all the work! What an incredible usage of texture. It reminds me of sunflowers, honeycomb, summer…it’s so evocative.
I used to smock pillows about 50 years ago. Connecting the dots is tedious but fun. I also used the technique to make an adult pineapple costume for Halloween. Loved seeing it used in this video 🤗👍🥳
My mum smocked a wee dress for me when I was 5 (about 50 years ago too). I still have it. These skills should NEVER die!
I learned about 25 years ago. And am now only hand pleating as I lost my specific machine in a basement flood....🤷🏼♀️
I wore smocking as a child too🌹 60yrs....
That pineapple must have been so cute!
That sounds lovely. Would be nice to have a skill like that. I bet my mum would love something like that in some pillows or cussions, a beautiful technique.
We had what I remember as mock smocking, mass produced dresses done by machine when I was little, you know that stretchy top part of a dress, made with elastic thread I think? Before lycra was a thing and stretch fabric. Might have been one of my favourite dresses was that style, now come to think of it... One that mum says and I actually remember chasing around the washing line screaming for my dress! may still be in fashion nowadays for kids, I'm almost sure I've seen something like it on the little princess Charlotte, daughter of prince William and Katherine once not too long ago...if I'm not mistaken... Something in a blue...
Or maybe it was real smocking since they are rich!!? But will have to see it again to be sure
Anyway that Halloween costume would have been loads of fun, a lot of work but I bet it looked awesome
and THIS is why I love to watch runway show video’s because every piece of clothing is art, some may not look that pretty but it’s still someone’s hard work
Absolutely
You are crazy talented
Wow,Gunnar! What a fabulous work of art! The honeycomb is flawless. Bravo!
What a tour de force, Gunnar! OMFG!!! The smocking! Smocking is sooo hard to do. I’m blown away by your skills. Patty is one lucky person!!!
as a fashion design student, i know how hard smocking is so the fact that you made the entire torso AND bust using honeycomb smocking- respecttttt
Jeez, I've never seen a more well made dress.
I’ve sewn for 45 years and never could I do this. I gasp when I watch your videos. ❤❤
Wow! You can do anything, and with each successful project, you take on something more difficult! You're a beast! I love your tenacity and strength!
The final look in full drag actually made me tear up it's so freaking gorgeous 😭
So much lie...
@@sndirdir youre going to die alone
@@sndirdir so much lie...
Yea it made cry so much 😭🤣
Good God girl get a grip
That's a crazy amount of work and you absolutely nailed it! Your work is beautiful. ❤️
Just amazing, from that fabric to the attention to detail!
Absolutely amazing!!! The smocking is just fantastic and fabulous!!!!! The dress is awesome!!! 🐝
Still trying to pick my jaw off the floor.
I own many many Alexander McQueen pieces and I was lucky enough I purchased it when he was alive😢 . He was Einstein of the fashion world 😭 RIP my Darling 🙏🏻
So he discovered the photoelectric effect?
@@dianafelizia6141 lol
@@dianafelizia6141 I think she was trying to say he was a "genius" of the fashion world, as in BRILLIANT - in a different way, obviously, more creatively, but which also requires intelligence - not that he was LITERALLY Einstein. I don't know why you would take it that way
@@jujujewel2172 r/wooosh
@@jujujewel2172 you must be fun at parties
This dress is so impressive & showcases your talent perfectly. Your abilities are impressive.
That is amazing and the reveal did NOT disappoint! That color is lovely! Omgosh I’m in love with this dress!
Congratulations you're smocking is absolutely impeccable. I was a teenager when my mom taught me how to do smocking and I used to make smocked pillows as gifts for people all the time, so I know how much work goes into this technique. Smocking like too many other kinds of needlework, such as tatting, are becoming lost arts. This dress is truly an exquisite work of art!
So true about the lost art. People now use machines to embroider. What fun is that? I love to hand embroider! I actually did a smocked yoke on a doll dress a while back (hadn't done any sense I was a kid). I used gingham which makes it easier to follow the pattern. I was so proud of how cute it turned out but omgosh what he did here!!! No words! 😲
Omg, this dress is one of the most fantastic pieces of clothing I've ever seen! Your work is so meticulous & detailed & flawless--truly a beautiful work of art!
This one gives me chills & goosebumps seeing it at the end. Blessed be the bees.🐝
The dress. Wow!!! And she wears it beautifully.
Gunner your fabrics are taking on a whole... new dimensions! 😮 Wow!
U did so well it looks so good
DAMN! The final result is pressed flat and B E A U T I F U L
W O W !!! The tort is just *muah* perfect 🤩 and please please do release a video on the smocking, that would be an amazing technique to see explained in action.
I cannot believe your patience in creating these works of art. Unreal!!
This is insane amount of talent and craftsmanship. I'm so proud of you 👏
The level of your talent is unbelievable, hope to see you with your own fashion house someday in the future.
I love seeing someone take a fabric and make it another fabric... that is pure genius
Patty Gonia was really feeling it in the final reveal. A complete success!
Wow so incredibly stunning gorgeous. You are so talented!
I took the time to make screen shots of the original dress and the amazing dress you made. I emailed them to myself so I could compare them. You NAILED this! It’s one of my very favorites from your channel!
The reveal at the end was beautiful! I love the beehive hairdo!!! But a stunning ensemble for sure ❤
The honeycomb smocking with bees…you are so skilled. Bravo!
All of your creations are beautiful! I would love to see your take on that dreamy strawberry print dress that went viral a little while back! I have dreams of wearing that dress one day 🥰
The background music with your soothing voice is like ASMR. Of course the dress turned out 💋- magnifique! You are so talented! Seeing the end result is always the icing on the cake in these short videos!
Do you know what the background music is called?
Absolutely stunning!!!!! I don’t think people who don’t sew understand how difficult smocking is. ❤
This is gorgeous. I can see how difficult it is. Wow. You certainly make it look easy. I'm impressed.
That dress is stunning, and I love how your friend looks in it. And her beehive hairdo is a hilarious and wonderful addition.
man, this is gorgeous; the craftsmanship that went into this is impressive 💙
I got anxiety just watching all the honeycomb prep. The honeybee detailing is just genius. Another triumph!
That’s absolutely phenomenal! I love the smocking it’s so clever and precise xx
Dear lord that looks complicated, but they look amazing in it.
that was his friend lol
@@iimdone 'they' as in the pronouns they/them.
could be wrong but think it’s generally ok to say “she” for a drag queen…? nothing wrong with they / them either
@@fighterflight it's not generally ok to assume anything these days. the world has well and truly gone mad trying to accommodate all sorts of unnecessary bullshit.
Beyond words. You're just so gifted
OMG!! That turned out insanely beautiful!! And the photo shoot… wild and breathtaking! Your friend looked stunning in it. 😍😍
You should do a updated, remake of this dress with the added years of experience. I’d love to see it ❤
Such an incredible piece to replicate. Your skills and vision elevate you to an artisan!!
this dress is gorgeous!! Your friend look absolutely stunning and your dresses always look amazing! Cantou please next try and recreate the dress from the Helena music video from My Chemical Romance? The song means so much to me and I'd love to see what you can do💜💜
Yesss his friend looks so good at the end
That’s outstanding, Gunnar. You just keep getting better & better! Congratulations, my love, you completely nailed it. Magnificent! 💕
I have watched this so many times, and every time it comes up on my RUclips. I watch it again gladly. Mesmerizing.
Your dress, and your friend, are absolutely stunning! Your friends are lucky, lucky people. 💙
This really makes me appreciate your craftsmanship as well as the dedication and effort designers put into their pieces.
Such amazing work. I am glad you like challenging yourself to create memorable designs and clothes. You truly have a gift.
Wow that dress is absolutely beautiful and spot on. Great work!
Soooo amazing. Yours is the first Patreon I've considered supporting. Your work is gorgeous pieces of art, your videos are entertaining but it's also a public service; teaching sewing techniques and keeping craft skills alive. Such an inspiration. I'd pay to see that!!! Love ya!
The hardest thing ever done by the most talented designer I know
That dress looks great! You are a champ to do all that smocking.
I didn't appreciate this dress fully until I saw it on your friend. They look amazing!!!
Your a phenomenal designer! I love how you make each piece with so much love and hard work ❤️ I'd love too see you create the white Marilyn Monroe dress with your take on it 😁 that would be awesome, that's one of my all time favorite dresses.
This dress is gorgeous! You're so skilled and talented and hardworking. Bravo!
This showed up today August 2023. But I must say this is crazy!! Made me think of back in the day when all clothes were made by hand and the ladies of the day went to the dressmakers to get their dresses made.
You are amazing!! Wow!!
Omg, this is my favorite dress you have ever done. Period.
This remains one of the most memorable shows I’ve ever seen! I remember watching it it awe. Those beautiful, huge dresses. You did an amazing job - and I love Pattie in it! Marvelous.
Oh my goodness! That is amazing work, its brilliant!
I had to watch this at least 5 times.
It’s stunning. I can’t wait for the tutorial for the smocking tutorial.
I love the honeycomb smocking! Beautiful!
This is one of the most adorable dresses I’ve ever seen! I absolutely adore bees, and I would’ve probably worn this to a daddy daughter dance when I was little!
I swear, your versions are ALWAYS the best! Bravo, you are so talented! 👏🏻 🐝🐢
You have absolutely outdone yourself. That dress is phenomenal. You are the Bee’s knees!!!
You did an amazing job, even though the final dress isn’t for me it’s so interesting to see it all being put together
Honestly, this isn't my type of content, but I can appreciate the amount of work that this must have taken.
OMG this is STUNNING! Your friend looks gorgeous in the dress!
It’s amazing! Great job! Plus you always make sewing look so easy! I’ve been sewing for almost 3 years and I still mess up cheap store bought patterns 😅
i could HEAR ur excitement telling us ab this dress it’s AMAZING!!!!!!
This is stunning. I’ve wished for so long that men had more mainstream options to accessorize or enhance their wardrobes, or to-you know-create and wear full external body cages with a Cricut Machine… and this is yet another reason why.
That's amazing! The craftsmanship and heart you put into your clothing is always so awesome to watch! Pure artistry! The dress came out so good and your friend looks awesome in it as well!
Beautiful, love the bodice and the shape of this dress. So elegant.
I don't know how you do it, But I think you're so talented. Watching you recreate these pieces Is such a joy.❤🎉😊
I love how you coordinate your nails with your creations. It's so pleasing to the eye. 8-)
This is so cool. I love how you keep pushing yourself to hone your craft.
This short video is such an underplay of the MASSIVE amount of work/frustration this would have taken 😨😨
GUNNAR! Holy bells balls! That looks incredible and the tortoiseshell harness you made is next level. FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been watching you for so long and have never commented. You are one of the most talented humans I’ve had the pleasure of following. Please continue. You’re patreon will be fire.
Your hands are a gift from God. Thank you for blessing us with your talent!
This is by far one of my most favorite things you've ever recreated. I would shave my head & tattoo some bees on my scalp if I could wear this dress.
This thing!!! Yes!!!
Loved that you made it full length: gave it a whole new dimension...!
The dress and the Queen are stunning !!!
