- It's Episode 1 of Forensic Sewing on CZcams! Today we're investigating the construction and design of Beyoncé's gorgeous Alexander McQueen bodysuit, custom designed for the opening of her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm. From the textural beadwork using bugle beads to the genius treatment of chaton montees - to the design of the bodysuit itself- this one is such a fascinating look at modern couture and stage-wear too!

Love the long form version of Forensic Sewing, I have loved your TikTok breakdowns for a while now! Can’t wait to see more!
You’re most definitely NOT SCREECHING INTO THE VOID! Your enthusiasm is catching and takes me back to my days of studying\designing\pattern cutting etc.Fashion&Design Major.I adore Alexander McQueen too!! ♥️🇨🇦
Hi Kat! I'm here from the clock app and I really appreciate the longer, more in-depth breakdown you have here. Thanks! 😊
Same!
Yay! Thank you for hopping platforms for me!! I'm glad it was worth it!
I love these forensic sewing deep dives and it’s great you are doing longer videos!
I hope you do more forensic sewing videos. This was really interesting to watch.
I love that the sculptural bits are nods to Renaissance era fashion without being too on the nose or costume-ish.
You're not screeching into the void!
Just started watching. I'm enthralled with tambour embroidery and I'm enjoying hearing you talk about design.
I love your Forensic Sewing tiktoks and I am so excited for the longer video formats! Watching your tiktoks and your joy for sewing actually helped build my confidence to try making my own shirts- they aren't perfect but I had so much fun figuring it out. Thank you for these videos!
AMAZING!! Thank you so much for telling me that, I'm so glad I played a small role in getting you in front of a sewing machine! That's so exciting, and I'm so glad you had fun!
That was fascinating how the beading looks so sculptural!
This was a fun watch--Id love to see more longer form forensic sewing videos! & Theo cameos too--he reminds me of my (sadly late) blue point meezer. So cuddly!
So fun! Glad to hear even more about how stuff like this is made.
Hola Kat Vivo en Suecia y estuve en el recital de Beyonce en Estocolmo, es fascinante como describes su vestuario, fue fabuloso y el brillo de su traje exquisito, estoy trbajando con Luneville con vestidos de novia y he aprendido muchisimo de ti, Mil Gracias Peggy
Fascinating to hear you break this down using your own experience and expertise.
Love these longer videos which are easier to refer back to than instagram.
I made a bootstrap fashion dress form a few months ago and remembered that you had made one and I really wanted to go back and look at your process, but couldn’t find it!
Awesome long version! Thanks! Keep moving forward. Love your work.
Absolutely fascinating!
love love love this
Kat, I love these types of videos you do. The longer format is better because you can go into more depth. Plus if they ban tiktok in the US, this will be then only place I can see your info. Thanks so much for making & posting!!!
That's a very good point!! Thank you for being here and following along!
I'm a fan of this breakdown of high fashion sewing. I don't have the time or energy to make beautiful shiny clothes, but I can listen to others talk about them. ;)
Love the long format forensic sewing!! Keep doing them please!
Love the long format especially when there is so much to cover!
You have a gift for presenting info. I love these videos you do and the intracranial stories too
Your analysis is so intriguing! It makes me look at my own clothes differently
LOVE this in-depth video. Using the tulle over the crystals is so smart! :)
I love your forensic sewing videos and would definitely watch more (here and other platforms, I’ll take whatever I can get!)
Love this long form!
Hey Kat this is Lynn Ann Newman!
This long form really “suits” the topic. You would have to do multiple TTs to convey this much info. This outfit is so interesting! I love the bugle bead muscles.
BTW the tulle over the crystals was much easier to see on the other platform, for some reason.
Great video. I look forward to more YT vids,
Hello hello!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for that feedback! I'm still very much finding my feet with YT video production so I've probably got to adjust my export settings or something - I will investigate, thank you!
Hi Kat! I am absolutely thrilled to see forensic sewing videos here! Love your detective work
Nice to see you again.
Happy to see the longer form here! I hope this platform grows for you, your videos are great!
Love this kind of long form video! More, please! ❤️
Love this format! I’m not a CZcams watcher so linking to these from Insta is an excellent idea! Happy to hop over here to listen and watch! I sure hope McQueen gets the memo!!! 😁
Such a cool deep-dive, thank you!
I’m also thinking the addition of the zippers might have something to do with the format of the concert - Queen B would have to change into and out of the suit fairly quickly, so I guess the zippers help with that in addition to giving back the range of movement the embroidery took from the power mesh?
This is such a good point! I have no idea how long she has for outfit changes but it's generally not a long time! The zips would certainly make that process a lot quicker!
Loved this video thank you so much for making it ❤
I am obsessed with those outfits and the beads just make them so out this world !
Thank you so much for watching!! I want to do more of these breakdowns soon - they're so much fun to research!!
I loved this, thank you!!
❤️ love a deep dive!!
I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for doing this! I love your forensic sewing videos on TT ❤
i looooved this video :) cant wait for the tutorials too
❤loved the video
came here from TT, can’t wait to see more of your videos 👍
Love this idea! So interesting!
Thank you Kath! Nice to see you over here!
Enjoyed this video. Came over from TikTok. Hope you make some more longer format forensic fashion videos!
I would assume that you have to use black tulle over the chaton montees because thin black threads becon=me much more invisible at distance due to their lack of reflection. That's also why when you have stuff that's supposed to be suspended invisibly in the air like with magicians, in film etc. the threads are mostly black. I believe if you used white tulle, the bright sparkles from the stones would bounce off the white and it would at least blur the sparkling or even make the tulle visible in of itself?
Also very much looking forward to more long form videos from you on here!
I loved this video. I follow you on Instagram and followed link to here. I didn’t think I’d want to watch whole video but it was so good once I pressed play I watched whole thing.
Thank you so much!! Thank you for hopping platforms for me, and I'm glad you liked it enough to stick around to the end, that means a lot!
Another viewer from the clock! I needed more than three minutes! 😂 Keep up the good work, I'll be back for the next one! 😉
I really hope we get more photos of the bodysuit in detail! It's amazing!
❤
So cool! Thanks so much for the video 😊 I would be so curious to see a price breakdown of this kind of thing and how much you think it would have cost to make (materials & labour, vs estimated value etc.)!
Ooh a tricky one! I will see if I can find info on this for the next one, or at least share some estimates!
friendly screech back from the void
I’m curious to see how using clear stones but maybe red or other colors of tulle would change the look of the crystals. Ooo or using glitter tulle lol
I agree, it would be a really fun experiment to play with colours!
So excited you have a space for longer form content! Just curious, is there a resource you reference for different kinds of tulle fabrics? Does power mesh fall under the tulle category?
This is a great question! I don't have one single resource unfortunately - most of it is gathered information from a bunch of different sources- *but* I am potentially working on something that might turn into such a resource! Probably at least a few weeks away if the puzzle pieces come together, but stay tuned :)
Hi again! I've been working on this question, and there's a new video up now! Thank you SO much for the question!! czcams.com/video/faLf2RXYSc0/video.html

This must have taken so long to create, any idea how many hours? Also wonder if you have any clue what kind of beads? As someone who used to work with beads for jewelry making, the highest standard glass beads are Miyuki for their quality and consistency consistency.
