There is a thing that coders do when they get stuck. They explain their code to a rubber duck because it helps them find the mistakes. You should do that with sewing.
I sometimes do that when sewing for dolls.
In school I always called my mom and tried to explain my topic to her. If she couldn’t get the basic understanding I didn’t know it or couldn’t vocalize it well enough. 😂
If... Ahhhhh!.... 🤣
I have no idea why I watch so many sewing tutorials when I have no idea how to sew 😂 but thanks for great content. Also the corset is soooooo pretty
Why not start sewing?
You don't need to start with a hoop skirt. Maybe just some cute panel skirt? With a stiffened (starched) petticoat underneath, you can still have a lot of fun. And need only beginner's sewing skills. You could even handsew it if you don't have a machine. Just look for "handsewing for beginners" tutorials.
Hey same pinch 🤣🤣😜🤣😜
Me too haha
Same here. I grew up around a few capable-yet-amateur intermediate sewers, but the gene skipped me completely. And yet I keep finding myself in CosTube admiring the talent of others. But I just... I do not understand shapes and fabrics at all. I can hardly fix a rip in my clothes without the stiches getting knotted in a tangle or coming completely undone (it also took me an extra long time to learn how to tie my shoes and I used to beg for velcro shoes so...I'm sensing a trend here). How am I supposed to comprehend the technique of sewing a sleeve onto a bodice...
@@johannageisel5390 I appreciate your positivity towards people learning new skills, but I know in my case it's not that easy. And people have told me since I was a kid that I should learn to sew, but I've never been able to comprehend the geometry, the math, or even the technique. I could more easily write a dissertation or learn a new language than I could learn to sew well. It's like rocket science to me. 😭😭😭
Your sewing clips match the color scheme! Don't you love when supplies happen to match your project?
I noticed that too 😁
Yea and no. Sometimes the stuff gets lost in the fabric/stuff
I guess it is quite off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new series online ?
i can just hear your grandmother when she saw that boning sproing; " you'll put your eye out!!". i am old enough to be your grandmother and that was my first thought. 🤓
Haha, yes! This boning is definitely safety hazard! 😂
The timing of these hoop skirt tips is impeccable! I had a hoop skirt failure recently, and this was just the motivation I needed to start again. Also you explained some things that I didn't really have an answer to to attempt making it from scratch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Handy tip: tape your tape measure to your table with masking tape while you’re measuring out your boning, ribbon and tape. It’ll make your work easier and it won’t harm the tape measure or table.
If you want a permanent solution, there are self-adhesive tape measures.
These videos are honestly a dream come true! I became obsessed with the dress when I tried (and failed) to recreate it on a doll scale a few years ago, and would watch every single video and read every single article about it; I was desperate for content like this. Even though I can barely sew, I find your videos absolutely fascinating! This is such an amazing project.
ah when i made a hoop skirt, I hand-sewed the boning channels to the ribbon. It was a little hard to maneuver, and having a dress form really helped, but it was easier to keep the bones in place. It's of course up to personal preference.
Yay, the first time I made this, I hand sewed the entire thing by hand...but after is took nearly 20 hours to do that, I didn't want to do it again!
@@BellaMaesDesigns haha of course yours has a lot more bones than mine!
The final result looks so impressive!
It was really scary when you took all the boning out to sew the channels at the sewing machine. I think I would have chose to just hand sew them all on the dress form, with a thicker thread maybe, like flossing - I think it would have possibly taken less time, and it would have definitely been less dangerous. Moving and manipulating that skirt with all those pins in looked hella dangerous. Pulling all the boning out and then putting them back in (and being careful not to mix them), plus dealing with all the dangerous pins when manipulating the skirt, plus dealing with all the threads the sewing machine left... I would have definitely chose to just hand sew on the mannequin and avoid all that.
Anyway, it looks great! And I'm sure it took so long to make, by the look of it
Yup, I did that the first time...20+ hours of hand-sewing later...not doing that again! 😂
I have been sewing for 60 years as well as designing and drafting patterns and teaching. Your instructions are impeccable and extremely clear! Very well done! I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
This is very interesting. I recently completed an elliptical hoop skirt based on the Truly Victorian pattern. It has a different shape but it really felt more like a construction project than a seeing project.
Did you finish the ends of the boning with u tips or similar? I thought you had to so they don't end up cutting the fabric and poking out. But I've just watched 3 different people seemingly not finish them at all? I'm a little confused lol
@@katyb2793 no I just bought little plastic bits that covered the end from Farthingales in Canada.
@@SarahBent ah yes i think that's good idea. Thanks for replying! :)
Great!! Can’t wait for the first video that features the skirt ruffle-madness 😍!
the amount of work that goes into the things you make is just incredible. I would never have the patience to be able to do things like this. Absolutely amazing work. You are very talented.
I love the underbutt ribbon, i had no idea hoop skirts had them
I’m low-key planning my future wedding dress while watching all these, because my partner and I have talked about a costumed wedding, buying property, and our future house. But I’m absolutely going to purchase your designs and make a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding dress because 😍
Crinoline weights, it helps with flattening the front. Discovered them in Angela Clayton's elliptical hoop skirt video
watching this video series makes me think " i want to make my own cinderella dress too!" but at the same time i have zero sewing knowledge LOL
My cat got spooked by the boning springing
The very first time I made a 'crinoline', I had no resources and no experience, so I was just making it up! I made a giant petticoat and made channels in it, which I filled with plastic irrigation tubing! It wasn't pretty, but it worked! lol.
sounds like its be great for cyber punk lol
I decided to hand sew my entire crinoline and it actually seems much easier than with a machine so props to you for figuring that out lol i was struggling
🦴 May I just say, that it really is a privilege to see this whole process week after week and seeing your progress! It’s really inspiring 👗
You are a true artist, not that I will ever make a corset or hoop skirt. But I find the process fascinating
I love all of your Cinderella dresses! ❤️👗 You are so talented.
I get so excited when your videos come out! I love watching your process and I learn so much from you. You’re so clever!
Wow !!! You have just blew my mind with the work you put in on this , not just the sewing the brain work too , absolutely brilliant work !! You really are a fantastic dressmaker my dear ❤️❤️❤️
You inspire me so much to really take my time and put my all into a project, and make it my own. Thank you for your videos, I love watching and listening even in the background.
I love how your motto is “always learning“! I definitely live that way too.😊
Bella you're so talented! Can't wait to see the next video!
Another amazing hoop skirt/crinoline!!! I can't even begin to imagine the amount of maths involved in making these, and honestly the fact that you get them done so well is an achievement in itself to me. All the undergarments look amazing together, I know you addressed it in your last video but I think the chemise being a brighter shade than the corset adds a nice little pop of colour (even though it'll be hidden underneath the dress 😅)
I’m so excited to make mine! It doesn’t seem as complicated as I had expected. Thanks again for these videos!
You may not have magic but what you're constructing is magical 😁 can't wait for the rest of this journey ☺
This video is amazing! I'm new to the historical costuming and gown making but this is encouraging me to spread my imagination of possibilities. Thank you.
Please never stop making these kinds of progress videos! They are so, so valuable to watch! (And also just purchased your crinoline pattern! I can't wait for it to come out!)
Aw, thank you! And that’s great to hear, I’ll try too!!
Someone: WOMAN CAN'T BREATH AND MOVE IN CORSET!!!!!
Bella: 18:57 ;)
Haha, yup! I just had to do it! :)
I wear them all the time for re-enactments and other events. If made correctly and fitted properly it's better than any bra. The nonsense about tightlacing is just that--nonsense. Check out Izabela Pitcher of Prior Attire. She has a video of herself dancing, walking, running, and playing tennis in a corset.
Wooooooooow so neat to see this made!
Omg this is stunning!!
Oh my gosh thank you so much for making a pattern for this! This will be really helpful!
OoOooh, I always look forward to seeing the progress in your projects! I find the base bones of these costumes to be so interesting to look at, but not fun to sew, hahaha! Also you're so adorable. you remind me of my own daughter, very sweet!
I have been so excited for this video that this honestly made my day. Thank you so much!!!
Aw, I'm so glad to hear that!
Those handles are brilliant, I never would have thought of that
You make it so beautyful! You are a real CinderBella.
Ooo yay I’m so excited to watch this when I have the time :))
Thank you for the tools and supplies sources. That's very helpful.
I love listening to you explaining though I’m a mere beginner and am probably never going to do this I still pay close attention and can understand as you explain xx
You make making a crinoline look so easy! 😍 It nearly makes me want to make one!
Lots of math, great results! The magic trick was cool too!!
incredible. VERY Awesome Hoopskirt. Looks Amazing. Your VERY Talented.
Merry Christmas !
Continue the good work bella i’ll hype you up 😌✨😊
Thanks so much. I just purchased the sketch pattern & appreciate that You had it available for us! I already saw the video on the gown, amazing job! I'm doing the 1/6 scale for barbie! Take care /Rosemary
I made this year a crinoline. UHH it was sooo tidious. All of the mockups came HORRIBLE but ehen I actually bought the boning, I was so pleased with the result.
Thank you so much for this video! It was a huge help when I was using corset boning to build my full-body walkaround puppet.
Me encantó! 💓Lovely👏👏
I think you nailed it❤❤
Hi Bella. I'm a new Subscriber. I have no sewing ability what so ever. The only thing I know about me being here watching your 'Cinderella dress' creations is, you have a very comforting and soothing way off telling us the process of sewing them, that your voice accompanied with what we see on screen is like a fairytale of it's own (I believe I have seen your first Cinderella dress creation, and then I watched the Cinderella 'scrap' dress video) and now I am here. Your dress making skills are quite a 'magic trick' and I adore everyone of your Cinderella dresses BTW that elegant flow of the 'Shimmer Organza' was mesmerizing to watch, I found myself rewind a couple of times because it looked so amazing.
You are such a perfect Cinderella. The crinoline is quite a feat of engineering. I realize you followed a picture, but still- to do all the math, Amazing work!
Your videos have been really helpful.. Thank you so much! ❤ more power to you 😇
Beautiful job!!!!
I wish I had this video when I tried to make my hoop skirt!!! Omg and now there’s a pattern!!! I’m totally going to have to make a new one.
This needs a lot of work. Woahh, good job👍🏻👍🏻
You are so talented ❤️
That's a work of art.
I was expecting more nightmare. Even with the laying on the floor moment, I was expecting uneven everywhere. Amazing job!! Stay well!
Wow, that was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it, it's probably the best crinoline replica I've seen😍 I'm a new subscriber from Italy, and I binge whatched all of your videos xD I soo whant a replica of the cinderella dress, and I've never seen anyone as precise and dedicated as you! Can't wait to see more🥰
Aw, yay! Welcome!
Excellent working on gown hoops
You had me at secret handles!
Excellent 👏🏻 merci beaucoup ❤️
I would love to see how much you actually spend on each step to deter me from even thinking about ever trying this. So far i made some pouches, pillows, aprons, jersey fabric tops, skirts, face masks and i am not anywhere near this level of sewing but my hands are itching
Edit: i mean how much did you spend on the materials, i can only imagine how much time And skill...
Haha, oh no! It takes about $175 of boning and about $80 in casing.
That seems to be about the right level of skill! The trick to leveling up your sewing game is to pick something you are highly interested by. Now, this gown in paticular is a pretty advanced (and expensive) project - but if you want to simply make a hoop skirt and a gown or skirt to go over it... much more reasonable goal! Keep in mind that fasion trend had a "day wear" version too!
You can also "moderize" a hoop skirt in many differerent ways. I've seen hoop skirts with translucent or clear fabric on runways. I've also seen lolita styles with knee-length hoop skirts
I am wanting to make this for my 17 yr daughter who does Disney cosplay. $250 just for the hoop skirt is a little out of my price range. Is there any way to still make it but not as expensive?
@@dawns.7521 Yep! A super cheep cos-play hack is to sew (or duck tape) a skirt with the shape you want in two layers with the bottom hem sown shut - then stuff the layers with plasic bags for the shape. That makes a "bag pettycoat". Its noisy and doesn't hold up for more then a weekend or so. Plenty of time for convention!
Tienes un talento exepcional veo tus videos y con que paciencia bellos diseños felicidades desde mexico
You really good work
Very cool!
This series is amazing!! I wish I could support but I’m a broke college student lol ❤️
This got recommended to me. Yay! :D
I am your biggest fan of yours
It'll be interesting to see how much influence these costumes have on fashion. The "olden days" were not the only time hoop skirts were in fashion. There was a revival in the mid 20th century. Some of it was a result of the post-war boom. During hard times and during major wars, women's skirts become straighter/narrower and shorter to conserve fabrics. The years after WWII full skirts, worn mid-calf, became popular.
Putting the role of boning in a box with a small dispensary hole cut in the side and pulling the free end of boning out. Then taping the box shut (not the dispensary hole of course.) Makes cutting the boning not only easier, but much safer. My grams taught me that tip which prevented additional trips to the e.r. (seriously don't be foolish like I was before learning better.)
Wow bravoo, thank you.
i want make it.
Cool I like you I follow you from algeria 😊😍
Keep on
I've been trying to figure out what they did from that picture for the last month lol but they had another picture that looked like a regular hoop skirt so I was about to make it just normal until I found this video!! I was just wondering if/how easily you're able to sit down with this hoop skirt since it has the half hoops at an angle?
Hi!! First time watching your video and loving it!!! Questions: is it possible to adjust it to fit a plus size silhouette? Does it affect only the waist or should I redo the whole thing to adjust for the hips?? Thanks for your knowledge.
I purchased this pattern and I'm so excited to get started on it! What would you suggest for cheap options to make a mock-up? I like to practice first before doing a final structure.
ROCK ON!
You really are doing god’s work
Hi Bella ! First of all, i looove your channel :D I'm a big fan of your cinderella videos !! I recently purchased your diagram for the crinoline and all the needed material ! I have one question, i was starting to cut out the ribbons but i think the measurements are a bit small for me, i am a bit tall (175 cm so 5"7 i think, yes i am french so i have to translate all the measurements too aha ). I was wondering if i needed to make adjustments in your opinion or if your diagram will do, even if it's a bit short ? Thank you very much !! :D :D
I will be starting mine soon! I've downloaded the pattern and I've been rewatching this a few times to get ready. I handstitched another elliptical cage... Is the machine stitching better? I gasped when you removed all the boning after getting it pinned... I'm afraid.... How did you keep it from getting tangled?
when I was like eight my older sister got a hoop skirt from a Civil War Reenactment as a birthday gift. As little sisters are prone to be, I was a bit jealous. So my sister's solution? Sticitch an old hula hoop onto the hem of an old play skirt. Et voila! We could play dress up together! BUT THIS... this is a step or two up from that ;)
with how you pinned the horizontal hoops did you mirror your method on the other side? like in the video the pin mark is on the right of the ribbon so did you put it on the right on the other side too or mirror it so the other side is on the left if that makes sense?
Hello Bella, I am from Hong Kong and I really wanna to know where did you learn those sewing and making costume techniques. Thank you so much
Your editing is just perfect.❤️👍🏻
Is there any link on Amazon where we can buy steel boning
Would this work for a historical elliptical gown? It's gorgeous!
Holy shit, i didn't know this was so complicated
Making a hoop skirt is probably the most interesting thing I’ve made. They are no joke. Anyway, looks awesome!
I would have gone for something you could step into, and tie into place because that is just too much to deal with over the head. But it looks awesome.
What are the proper measurements to adjust boning and cases and ribbons?
I know this video is old so I probably won't get an answer but I'll still try.
So I bought your crinoline pattern and I followed it as precisely as I could. But it didn't came out as I was expecting. Your crinoline even without the "butt tie" is pretty even while mine is way lower on the back. Could it be because im wider in the waist so the ribbons are mostly on my back and not on my sides? Do yoyu have an idea how to fix it?
I spotted some Fashion books on the shelf behind you. Would you recommend any "must-reads" regarding fashion/ fashion history/ sewing for a total beginner that wants to start getting into the topic?:)
How you figured this out is truly beyond me...cuz math.😣🤤
Would there be a significant difference if I made the back the same as the front
bella plz.. make a video in which it is giving how to start a measurement and making diagrams for Cinderella dress plz....
becoz can't understand how to make a diagram for the hoop skirt
