Making my dress to the MULAN WORLD PREMIERE!
Рет қаралды 806,271
4 жыл бұрынI got invited to the Mulan World Premiere in Hollywood, so of course I had to make a dress for this special occasion! I definitely learned my lesson and will not rush to make a dress in 1 day again LOL but overall I'm happy with how everything turned out. Thanks for watching! #MulanPremiere #RedCarpet #Coolirpa

it's beautiful and I love the red shoes with it. Strapless wedding dresses usually have a belt made from grosgrain ribbon engineered on the inside of the dress. the purpose is to carry the weight of the skirt at the waist so it doesn't drag the top down.

@ruthugo9342 4 жыл бұрын
Yes! Mine had a wide elasticated belt on the inside around my waist that supported the weight of the skirt, no hitching for me!
@lisasebros 4 жыл бұрын
Yep! It's called a waist stay - learnt about it when finishing my (heavy-ish) wedding dress... 2 days before the wedding... and fearing that the spaghetti straps would hold it. It also relieves the stress on the zipper. Btw you can use the hook and eye tape of an old bra (also serves as "something old") ;)
@alittlebitofkatie 4 жыл бұрын
Waist stays are fantastic and I can't believe that more people don't know about them. I am amazed that even high end labels rarely put waist stays in their formal strapless dresses.

I feel like the two video perspectives, yours and the other KZfaqr’s are a perfect example of how hard we can be on ourselves sometimes, yet how much we are admired by others. She was admiring your dress without the slightest idea that at that same moment, you were pretty bummed out about not bringing your petticoat. But yeah, frustration is totally valid, especially because it took your time and effort to make it. Anyway, I love all of your designs and creations; been following you for forever!

I don't know how to explain how terrible I felt but it was basically like my dreams were crushed. I wanted to wear the dress for the longest time ever but my parents were just telling me to throw it away. Is there any way to restore it?
