  • Definitely my favorite dress BY FAR. Just need to find a cute sunflower field to prance around in now.
    My version is a little different from the original but you can make the original with these steps too! I made this for 5% of the price (yes, I did the math) so you are definitely saving some coin doing it yourself!
    p.s. I’m sorry if the quality is a little off I swear it was fine but then got worse once the video uploaded. Your girl is TRYING we can't all be ashley from bestdressed
    EDIT: I just watched this video for the first time since uploading it...and WOW it is not great (especially the audio at the beginning, I am so sorry for your ears) THANK YOU FOR STILL WATCHING! I promise I’ll work on making these videos better and more thorough :)

      I got this fabric from the challis section of my fabric store! Challis is a pretty wide category that has a lot of smaller categories under it like satin, georgette, and chiffon. I think my fabric is close to georgette but a little rougher and completely opaque (georgette is typically transparent) but unfortunately I don’t know the specific name 😞 the best thing to do though is to go to your fabric store and look at the fabrics in person!

      I went to my local fabric store and got this fabric from the “challis” section! Challis is an umbrella term so there are a lot of smaller categories under it (like georgette, satin, chiffon). I’m pretty sure this fabric is close to chiffon, but definitely on the thicker side and not transparent.

    Your dress looks way better than the dress you took inspiration from.. I love when that happens lol.

      Hi! I got this fabric from the challis section of my fabric store, but unfortunately I don’t know that exact name of the fabric since my store doesn’t label fabrics :( I do think that my fabric is similar to georgette, just thicker and not sheer (like georgette usually is). You should maybe research fabrics that fall under the challis category to see which one you would like or go to the fabric store and touch the fabrics to see which one is best! ❤️

    • @AnikaSews
      @AnikaSews  Před 3 lety +23

      I learned on CZcams! I watched channels like Coolirpa, With Wendy, and Annika Victoria to learn how to sew (I didn’t attempt sewing just yet, I just watched SO MANY tutorials). Eventually the first thing I ever made was a denim skirt that I upcycled from jeans!
      I definitely recommend watching tutorials before attempting sew something big; by watching so many tutorial, I just absorbed all the information until I believed I was ready to start a project. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! Good luck!! 🥰

      I got this fabric from the challis section of my fabric store! Challis is a pretty wide category that has a lot of smaller categories under it like satin, georgette, and chiffon. I think my fabric is close to chiffon but a little rougher and completely opaque (chiffon is typically transparent) but unfortunately I don’t know the specific name 😞 the best thing to do though is to go to your fabric store and look at the fabrics in person!

      I drafted my pattern on my dress form, but you can check out my most recent video to find different methods to create the bodice! I used challis for this dress, which is a very broad category and contains a lot of different categories like satin and chiffon. I think my fabric is close to georgette but I’m not exactly sure because my local fabric store doesn’t label fabrics, but you should check out your own fabric store. I think this dress would also look lovely in satin, which is what I used to create my own prom dress, or tulle! ❤️

      I’m pretty sure this fabric is chiffon, but it’s the type of chiffon that is thicker and not transparent (some chiffon can be REALLY see-through) if you’re looking for a fabric, you should go to your local fabric store and just touch all the fabrics to see which one feels best, that’s what I always do! 💜
