@pgsawchuk 5 ай бұрын

Thank you very much. Fascinating. Would love to have learned a bit more about the quilting technique used to stitch the fabric. And to have seen the garment on a mannequin or even just a hanger to see how the undergarment looked 360 without the jacket, and then, seen the jacket hanging as well. To see the fabric handbag and how compact it was was amazing!

@veryberry39 5 ай бұрын

I was really hoping to see it on a mannequin! They probably didn't want to stress the stitching by having it hang, but it would have been really neat to see how the whole thing looked!

This video is both mesmerising and educational, and one of the best ASMR as such: the voice, the visuals, the soft sounds, the easy explanation that lets the brain relax and (literally) sleep. Left the video on loop with my headphones and slept for almost an hour. Well done!

I enjoyed the close up shots of the suit's details but a view of the full suit laid out perhaps with a view the jacket laid next to the dress would be nice.

@nikolaskoulountis6200 5 ай бұрын

I agree with you, because the dress was made in such a way to give the impression of a blouse and skirt. Also the blue "waistband" was strategically placed just below the waist to elongate the torso and make the skirt look like it sits snug on the body.

Always nicely presented. However, they never truly highlight the art and craftsmanship of Haute Couture 😢. It would be great to see close ups of the inner construction such as the front and back sides of the bound button holes, seam finishes, the gilded chain and how it’s applied, etc. These details are extremely important to understanding how couture garments are made and what makes them sew 😊 unique. Most ppl will never have the opportunity to examine such a garment in detail and these lovely videos should be used as part of the documentation that adds to its history. Beautiful to look it, but let’s turn them inside out and give the respect that is due to the craftspeople who collaborated in making and designing of these garments. After all, they are the real talent 💁‍♂️.

@laurieroberts2740 4 ай бұрын

I really love everything about this! What an awesome series. However one piece of constructive feedback is that I recommend the narrator speak a little softer. She has a natural gravel to her voice which is lovely but can be a bit harsh while wearing headphones. I think slightly lower voice volume and slightly slower cadence would heighten the impact of the asmr effect and increase viewership among people seeking those effects, while still being interesting and not “too weird” for people just interested in the content the way a full whispering video might be.
