My sister-in-law is handy with a sewing machine. She took in a dress for me with a bustline that was too large. To repay her, I babysat my 2.5-year-old nephew.

@scarletnight4364 6 жыл бұрын

She should try buying one of those really cheap like terrible $5 ebay dresses and turn it into a dress thats not horrific.

It's so satisfying to watch you cut fabrics with that pizza-cutter looking tool. I should get me one even though I dont sew 😂😂 Just to cut stuff

It's made specifically for cutting fabric. It's called a fabric rotary cutter.

coolirpa, I couldn't find the hem tutorial and question why you gave 2 inches extra on the hem is it too big the 2 inches for folding?

She got the dress from Lulu's and I love Lulu's because they have very tall models with nearly identical body types to me so their stuff always fits me perfectly. And they almost specialize in longer dresses so my butt doesn't hang out like in Forever 21 dresses

Honestly, I just shop for a bunch of supposed-to-be crop tops and wear them as normal shirts, since they fit just right on my waist 😂 I need to learn more from this channel.

@judistephens8769 Жыл бұрын

I have been tasked with hemming a formal chiffon stage dress. It is reused from year to year so it cannot be cut. It it just over 6 inches too long, so there is a lot of extra material. I'm not sure I can hem it to lay down right. I am doing a 3 and 3 inch fold, but pinned it looks bulky, and of course there is extra material creating little bulges from seam to seam. I want to say I am working with 12 - 15 feet of hem. Ugh. Will sew tomorrow if anyone has suggestions.

@ruthcline5465 4 жыл бұрын

I have found that the factory hem is not even, pretty much never. If you measure up from the edge you’re going to get the same uneven hem. It’s a good idea to pin the desired length all the way around, it doesn’t take that long.

So i just cut my prom dress to hem it, but the back is too short... i added an extra inch but it looks bad... is there any way i can add fabric back without it showing too much ive been looking for tips online but i cant find anything... do you know where i could find info on it? please reply :/

Comes in 5 colors www.charlotterusse.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&keyword=+Cold+Shoulder+Sweetheart+Maxi+Dress Asos has a similar one for $73. Comes in 2 colors and 2 or 3 different skirt lengths. us.asos.com/ASOS-WEDDING-Drape-Cold-Shoulder-Maxi-Dress/18ot50/?iid=6004004&clr=Nude&SearchQuery=cold+shoulder+maxi&pgesize=27&pge=0&totalstyles=27&gridsize=4&gridrow=3&gridcolumn=1&mporgp=L2Fzb3MvYXNvcy13ZWRkaW5nLWRyYXBlLWNvbGQtc2hvdWxkZXItbWF4aS1kcmVzcy9wcm9kLw.. I bought the one from CR and I love it. The skirt doesn't have as much fabric so it doesn't flow as much, but for a fraction of the price I'll take it! I love this style of dress but it took me forever to find one for less than $100...
