You didnt just make Effie’s look, you made a recreation of an Alexander McQueen look!!!! And those dresses are so intricate and it’s expensive! You made it absolutely perfect!!! Im definitely gonna make an 1890s version of this look with flat butterflies climbing up the dress skirt and whole 3D butterflies on the sleeve puffs and in the wig.

"...a recreation of an Alexander McQueen" Exactly! And that in itself is no small feat. It's just lovely. And using a glue gun with such tiny pieces. Yikes.
@alaskacosplay Жыл бұрын
@@Lint_Julep I’d love to make this look too but I dont think I can find a thousand or so butterflies so I might make a gown with monarch butterflies on it made of rhinestones since those are sparklier and Im like a magpie for sparkles.

Great job! Love the enthusiasm. On a history note, this is a look from "her" S/S 2011 collection. McQueen died on February 11, 2010, and that collection was Sarah Burton's first full collection as creative director of McQueen. So you made a look from a female designer! Win!

I love how you take on fun challenges and are so upbeat! I use to sew my own clothes when I was younger (many moons ago) but life gets in the way sometimes. I just retired and find that I have time to rediscover many of the crafts that I use to enjoy. There are also a lot of crafts that I'm just learning about also. There are so many resources now! It's almost like my life was black & white and is now in color. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Excellent work! Your butterfly dress is stunning! Effie would approve. I have some gorgeous monarch butterfly fabric that I had planned to make a retro 50's dress inspired by Effie's ensemble (complete with headpiece & 3-D butterflies). It has been sitting in my stash for longer than I care to admit. Your video has lit a fire under me & inspired me to get to work on my own creation.

It encapsulated Effie's personality, bubbly, selfless, kind and courageous, trying to put on a smile even in the most sad situations.

I'm a guy and not into fashion. But when I read the books I found the fashion part of it quite interesting. In the acknowledgement the author wrote that she isn't interested in fashion but had some help by a person. I think the reason why I found it interesting and even was looking forward on how the movie writers interpret the dresses was because the author is not really interested in fashion. I think the movie one looks a bit more 3D because they used bigger butterflies and the ones sticking out covered a bit of a wider area on the movie dress. But yours is a bit more colorful. As a whole it is a very pretty dress and a well edited video. :)
