I feel like this style is such a specific look that the kinda people who'd want to wear it are people who would rather be more thrifty and make it themselves than spending that much! It turned out super cute and making your own you can personalize it to your own colour preference

And real thrifty people would definitely re-use and match up different materials...and would not try to match the Gucci colors and could create a truly unique ruffle skirt... Been in my plans for a long time... I was going to attach the ruffles to each other but I actually like the idea of having a petticoat layer.

@lazyperfectionist3978 4 жыл бұрын

I can assure you, Melanie, this sort of dress I would never wear in public, especially with those fabrics. It's extremely patchwork-esque and something you'd make for a doll, not a $4000+ skirt. It'd be a completely different story if it was in more consistent colour scheme with matching ruffles with lace trim on each layer, that's the kind of dress I'd rather dance in compared to this thrift-esque style

When I first saw the picture of the original Gucci skirt I thought it was so ugly and over the top, but seeing it in movement completely changed my mind. It's actually very beautiful, elegant, fun, and eye catching. It makes a statement without being tacky. Again good job on the amazing work, and this time I really have to lift my hat off to the designer of this skirt. What a bold and ingenious design

The weight of the tiers stretched your fabric a lot, making it not align when you tried to sew the back together. Your tip to use a heavier lining fabric was spot-on. I have been drooling over this skirt style for a few weeks, thinking I could cut up some vintage sheets, but not sure how to do the underlayer/lining. Thanks for demystifying that part. When I am able to go thrifting again, this is going to be one of my sewing projects. That's for showing all the steps and tips. Love it!

The Gucci blends more. The colors are more muted and from the same palette, especially the second layer and the blue one. And it lies flatter. But I really like the fun pops of color on April’s version. It goes with the style of the skirt. I rewound and watched the modeling part at the end three times. It’s just so fun! And she looks just beautiful in it - as usual.

@bekahhaught807 4 жыл бұрын

You could possibly achieve a more muted look by dying the completed skirt in a diluted brown dye bath. Or you could make your skirt from vintage/heavily used fabric. I have some faded bedsheets that are quite muted.........

i like this version better, it's very fun, i like the contrast between the patterns and colors that meanwhile still keep the vintage vibe, it feels more like a patchwork style which i really like, i only prefer the way the gucci skirt's layers lay down, but that could be achieved by using lighter fabric

@@styledbygabi I would think with vintage looking floral prints like...tea roses and the color and florals you see on old school bed sheet sets to be similar since there is a common theme you know how some bedsheets have stripes and florals and smaller print that are similar but still somewhat different. I think that would work great for this. Same color scheme and similar florals but different enough for each tier. I think the bottom works well with the top but that's because the tones are similar. I don't know if I would wear them separately. I def am going to try this pattern out but I think I'll be more patient and wait to come across the right fabric.

A different way of doing this would've been to use one of the fabrics as the main fabric, which would take the place of the white fabric, then stitch all the other fabrics on top of that main fabric. I've work this type of skirt as a child in the '70s. Back then it was called a sister skirt and depending on how many tiers you had, the name of the skirt was created; eg 3 tier skirt would be called a "3 sister skirt." Still your version looks more time consuming, it is still cute. Thank you for sharing this with us!!

It's super easy; make sure the selvage of the fabric faces you and cut about couple inches into the fabric and then just tear the rest. This method works only for cotton and for other fabrics you tug the sides around the cut a bit and then pull the thread in the fabric to make a clean cutting line in the fabric. My friend told me that years ago and she learned it from someone who works in fabric shop. Just make sure the selvage of the fabric faces you, it won't work if it doesn't face you.

I applaud you for trying to replicate the Gucci skirt. In studying the picture of the Gucci skirt, each tier looks like it was cut out from a full circle, not a quarter circle (very large workspace required) then gathered. This creates softer fluting on the gathers. The fabric choice appears to be something like lawn but I would have to see it up close to tell, but at any rate, you have a very unique skirt.

I love it!!! My mother was a seamstress on the side. She always made my special event dresses. This skirt reminds me of a dress I had one year when I was 9 or 10 ish. It was only two fabric patterns but I chose a yellow and a purple that coordinated. It had rouching(sp) across the bodice, little puff/capped sleeves and 3 ruffle layers! Was super cute! I thought so anyway. My sister, in her mean teen phase at the time, did not lol!

Wow this was one of my favorites. I can't even begin to tell you how many of these I've made. There was a special presser foot that gathered the fabric as you sew and I remembered just adding each tier at the base of the other so I ended up with a wider skirt.
