Canberra Dress 5 - Tulle 'Feathers' & Joining The Dress and Corset | Rockstars and Royalty

In this part of making the Canberra Dress I add the tulle 'feathers' to the skirt, join the outside and lining of the dress, and join the dress layer to the corset layer.

Soft tulle coming soon to my website!
Welcome to the world of Rockstars and Royalty. I’m Vicky. I have worked as a couture gown, corset and costume designer for over 20 years, initially under my label 'Devotion' in the UK, then as 'Rockstars and Royalty' when I moved to Australia in 2007. During this time I’ve become know for my elaborate couture gowns and costumes, my corsetry skills, my love of sparkles and embellishments, and for making my clients feel like Queens.
In my videos and tutorials I show you how I design and create the extravagant couture gowns, corsets and costumes that I've become known for, how I upcycle and style vintage and pre-loved clothes, and how I create accessories, hair, and make up to style and complete the looks.

Glue matching blue glass jewels to the zipper drop.

I'd probably buy some blue nail varnish for the zipper to camouflage it.

It ends up hidden by flowers but that's a great idea for future zips, especially for hard to match fabric colours 🙂

Omg, did you hand gather and sew all those "feathers" on? Or was that just for the demo?

[@RockstarsandRoyalty]

Yes all done by hand - I wanted the stitching to be as invisible as possible, and I was worried that the 4 tulle layers of each 'feather' would shift and not line up perfectly if I machined them. Cutting, measuring and pinning them evenly on took longer than sewing them, especially when I got to the rows that weren't gathered.

Wowsers! I am in awe! I have very little patience when it comes to hand sewing.. but your videos always inspires me!
