- Опубликовано: 4 дек 2024
- Claire Shaeffer takes you behind the seams to examine this haute couture design from Christian Dior. Designed by Marc Bohan in 1985, the dress has traditional haute couture construction with easy to copy techniques such as the bias stay, cutting bias, covering a shoulder pad, and waist stay.
Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us. All these hidden details are so helpful to see!
Thank you for sharing the technique very clearly and for showing the dress inside out. The inside of a piece of clothing is the most interesting part.
Such a subtle soft roll! Thank you for sharing the inside look at the construction of the dress.
Thanks for sharing Claire. This is one of the main reasons that I collect HC pieces, to look inside and see the construction methods.
Thank you Claire! So many beautiful details! Thank you for explaining this to us!🎉❤😊
Excellent. Many thanks Claire, both for sharing the garment details and the tutorial. I’d not seen that technique before.
Thank you for all these details. Here we see why couture fits so perfectly.
So many beautiful details. Invaluable information!
Thank you. Always something to inspire.
That was great!
Thank you so much and can’t wait to see more from you 💜
This is fascinating, thx!
So informative. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you ❤
I love your content-so interesting and so many good dressmaking tips.
I’ve been watching the series about Dior on Apple TV, “The New Look.” RUclips “knows” about this and suggested your video.
You’re not alone in finding that one of your sewing tools has gone on vacation, by the way. 🤣
Thank you! I enjoy your videos very much ❤️
Very revealing thank you 💜
This is SO INTERESTING! I'd love to know more about manipulating the organza/stays. I learn so much from you...THANKS!
Thank you.
Another lovely video! Ty! I am dying to know your story and how you have acquired your knowledge? A video perhaps?
“Triangle is on vacation”…that was so funny 😊
Actually, I'm not sure where the triangle is. It's a nice large one so I'm sure that it's not lost. I've considered a video about my educations and how I learned many things. It's a part of my family history. I'll think about it some more. I always appreciate your comments.
Ms. Shaeffer: Which do you prefer, aesthetically and for comfort: a back zipper or side zipper? Sewing the zipper into an open placket, or under a fly? A metal zipper, or invisible?
It depends on the garment. I rarely use invisible zippers and usually sew them into an open placket or flys on trousers. C
Hi Claire, thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating us about the technicalities of haute couture. May I ask if elastics can be use as alternative to Petersham ribbon for stays
Generally, no. Elastic is heavier and it will lose its elasticity. Also, it doesn't contribute the soft roll.
Thank you very much for answering my question. May I kindly ask if there is alternative material that I can use if Petersham ribbon is not available? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated
@@noeljordanracca723 Petersham is a crisp ribbon usually made of cotton and/or rayon. It is also called grosgrain or milliner's ribbon. There is a polyester grosgrain that you could use maybe even satin ribbon. Both the polyester ribbon and satin ribbon are softer so they might roll when worn, but when that's the only ribbon available, you can use it.
@@claireshaeffer7616 I battle to find the natural fibre grosgrain ribbons where I live (Cyprus) and initial attempts on the internet where not successful. The cotton/viscose/rayon versions have a little give in them, and can take the form of the body to a certain extent. (I've seen this on my vintage Valentino skirt that had it as a facing for a skirt, and on some Givenchy dresses that had it as inner waist stays). When I tried the polyester versions on garments I made, the effect is not the same, the shaping is stiff and does not "mould".
