  • Hello friends! In today's video I will be showing you how to install godets into skirts, dresses. I also wanted to show you how to take in a dress that has a zipper and godet. However, this technique is applicable in so many facets of sewing and alterations! I really hope you find this video useful and entertaining. If so, please don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe. Your support means the world to me! Thank you :)

    I would love to see you do a mini-series on identifying fit issues! Sometimes we wonder why things don't look good but we don't have a tailor's experience to spot the problem points. Bodices+skirts, pants, and jackets/coats are 3 categories that come to mind :)

    Thank you for this video. I have to add a godet to an evening gown with a high slit that is NOT along a seam. I have been trying to find a video for 3 days and yours is the first one that makes sense. I didn't even know the word godet until your video. Thank you. I can fix the slit now with your help!

    Getting paid to make clothes for grown ups dolls sounds good to me! 🤭
    I love godets, haven’t sewn one for years though. They give skirts such lovely swoosh, and who doesn’t like extra swoosh!

    Using the tiny mannequin and tiny dress is GENIUS, thank you for that! It is sometimes difficult for a tailoring newbie like me to follow along with the life-size garments...the tiny one made it very easy to understand! And it's always fun to make/see doll clothes ;) Thanks for the great tutorial as always!

    I worked on a dress with godets yesterday and I simply created a pleat on the back. If my client didn’t like that, I can now follow your precious tutorial to have it like it was originally. Muchas gracias! 🇧🇷☺️

    So cute seeing the tiny dress! You're so talented! I always wind up doing the godet point by hand because I'm not as precise with the machine.

    Love your videos. They have helped me in so many ways. I have a question. How in the world do you get your marker to work. Mine has this waxy feel to them and I have a hard time to get it to mark. Whats the secret to get it to work? You make it look so easy. Thank yo

      Thanks so much! I'm using heat erase pen on this video. It completely disappear in most of the fabric. Cheers 🙂

      I’m sorry. I should have been more specific. I was talking about the tailors chalk marker. (The sugared one) I can never get it to work

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Před rokem +1

      @@vickieswatzell9189 Try this chalks. They’re a little pricey but totally worth it! 😍😍😍

      I’ve been rewatching some of ur videos again 😂I just love them soo much and love ur cute sweet personality that’s why I always rewatch them I actually love the horsehair on the bottom it just looks more sharp and reminds me of the old crinoline hoop skirts that went under dresses in 1800’s I guess that’s why I love it soo much it brings out the whole dress with the horsehair

  • @norma6743
    @norma6743 Před rokem

    Oh so cute and is so well explained. Wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    I like it better without the horsehair 🤩

    Love using godets for additional flare! For anyone interested, godet is originally a French word and is pronounced as 'go-day' rather than 'go-det'.

  • @kumada84
    @kumada84 Před rokem

    I literally have that exact red-on-white fabric (not just the same print, I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same fabric), and I made a doll dress out of it... 👀 (It doesn't have a godet in it though 😂)

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Před rokem

      Waoooo! The fabric gave to both of us same vibes! Isn't it nice 🥰🥰🥰
