I Made the Striped Dress from Sleepy Hollow using Markers || 18th century Sewing Meets Tim Burton
Рет қаралды 133,521
3 жыл бұрынDid you know that the original dress in the Sleepy Hollow movie was made with magic markers? After having failed to make this dress three times before, I was determined to get it right! I used plain ivory silk taffeta and a whole army of markers in order to make this dress.
Please note that this movie was sponsored by @babylocksewing , for whom I am an ambassador, as well as @Beatrice Forms who kindly sent me a dress form for use in this video (and future ones for sure).
The Beatrice Dress form is from beatriceforms.com/ . I have been really lucky to only work with sponsors I realy believe in; and as soon as I saw how awesome this one was, I purchased a second one for my Victorian corset.

If you ask me, the true magic to this gown is knowing that Sewstine has a full time job as well as a toddler and still had an exorbitant amount of undisturbed time to draw stripes as well as pattern draft and design custom embroidery for a near perfect replication of one of my favorite theatrical gowns to date. :)

With additional scholarly commentary later confirming that, "Upon closer examination of this dress, it appears the maker, whoever they were, attempted to use two different formulae of painted dyes; while we conjecture the maker had a preference for one used in abundance over the other, it would seem, given the period this dress was made, in fact, right around the time of the Millennium Plague, the supply of the preferred dye dried up, as is evident in the lack of green striping on the ruffles and an incomplete application to the stripes on the skirt, and the maker was forced to finish what little was left with the ubiquitous formula of brushed-on dye they had to hand. This period of creativity was rife with examples of resourceful substitutions, from culinary endeavours to scrap wood furniture etc. etc...."

Also, I work in a smaller market and don't have a garment district at hand. Sometimes I just can't find the type and color of striped fabric I need to make my designs happen. As an artistic choice done the way it's done here? Beyond the usual budget or even prep time of most of the productions I work on. But it sure is fun to drool over the results.

Beautiful job! Bravo! The reasoning behind the green lines, you are correct, it is a trick for the camera to differentiate between the white and black to better pick up the sharp crisp lines on camera without accidentally blurring the two colors during movement. The off- white is an old theater trick. Because often with theater and filming, the actors tend to be under large bright spot lights which can be washed out with bright white fabrics being lit up. So an off- white fabric is better suited for the eyes. And it comes off as white on camera and on stage. We're learning these things in my costume design classes in college. I love your attention to detail. I personally would have gone to just straight up hand painting with a soft pliable acrylic paint myself just because I'm OCD about even colors. I'm pretty sure they still used fray check. Because I use an old paint brush to apply it lightly to frayed on purpose edges to create that texture. But I do like the rustic appeal of the different shades of black with the markers as they kind of give that hand drawn in with pencil-look. Like when we sketch and the coloring in of stripes would look like a bunch of sticks or lines of different shades of darks and lights together to create a look. And Tim Burton is known to tend to create characters with varied sticks or lines etched into their costumes somewhere. Like in corpse bride with the stripes in the suits. Or Beetlejuice the character himself being carried over with this striped dress. Very cool. Trim off those strings! You have a close up of all of them on camera at the end there. Lol. Thank you so much for sharing this. Stay safe out there.

This dress seems popular enough with makers that companies could make a killing by releasing a reproduction of it (marker texture on the black sections included) even if it's just a cotton print or recycled polycotton. I know I don't have the time or patience to colour in fabric like this for something I wouldn't be wearing all the time, but if I could get the fabric, I'd definitely think about doing a modernised version of the dress for day-to-day casual cosplay fun!

Wonderfully spoopy. All the Halloween stuff must have BOWTIES!!! If I need a smile, I can just go back and watch a Rachel video and smiles are guaranteed. No year round decorating motif is complete without a touch of the macabre. Thanks for sharing your haul. Love it!

not only is this incredible, I am HYPE for all of the maths in it, and I just want to stare at its beautifully proportioned form all day

Thank you Elissa! I am so glad the math wasn't too boring! :D

YES!! That is the dress form that I NEED because I have a small torso and wide hips - I’m diamond shaped. This is going to be what I’ll be investing in after we refinance our house. Thank you so much for turning me on to this vendor. Your dress turned out spectacularly. I love it so much! I would love a video on how you make your pinafores - if you do make your own pinafores.

I love creativity, the calculating, the dream of the final product. It s so inspiring. I play with acrylic paints, modge podge images on fabric and now I can think about market. Mind blown. Keep inspiring.

In one of your other videos you reveal the striped marker secret. My first thought was Hallelujah! just draw the fabulous stripes and they will magically line up and be perfect. Watching you color stripes.... you go for it! Suddenly I am excited that strawberries are also a fashion. Not rocket science.....but not matching stripes on curved seams....EVER....again! You are fabulous!!! Love the lace!! Sell the file for the lace!!!

The amount of work put into this design is incredible. I love it. I've yet to find a recreation that nails the look of the back when comparing it to the movie version.

I'm so glad to have stumbled on this channel. This dress was gorgeous. I also love the more casual clothing you wear. would you do tutorials on that? I'm just starting out and looking for more chill pieces to make. keep it up!!

I have no interest in sewing costumes or clothing, but I have to say that I love this sort of thing. If I were a professional costumer, I'd find it very inspiring to see amateurs do such beautiful, professional-appearing work purely for love.

rachel maksy’s video sent me your way and your commitment to this dress is astonishing, beautiful and admirable

I love the yellow dress you were wearing while you were working on the striped dress. So pretty! You put so much effort into getting all the details of the striped dress perfect 👍🏻; it turned out at least as good as the original, and probably better!

This came out GORGEOUS! It looks spectacular on you as well! For other movie inspired costumes, might I suggest some of Kiara Knightley's gowns from "The Other Boleyn Sister"? Her green gown near the end is magnificent and the ending is absolutely heart-rending.

I love the attention to detail!! I especially like how your video is just one second shorter than Rachels! But seriously, you took every single part of this so seriously and did every little thing so well! You captured my attention for the whole video, and I couldn't look away! I love the look of the cream and marker so much better than a white and black striped fabric, it's so nice to look at! Amazing work! I can't forget the wealth of knowledge you show here either, your use of math, logic, and history is awesome, and I'm so glad I have found your channel!

How on earth do I justify my need for that dress form? Omgosh... it would make such a difference in everything I see for myself. I’m a new subscriber today. Love your cottage wear. ☮️❤️☕️-Kirsten
