Hello fashion friends!!! Today I am going to be showing you how to drape, pattern, and prototype this cowl dress. I'll be giving you tips on how to pick the best fabric and how to work with the bias. Variations of this dress would be good for homecoming, prom, weddings, and more! Love you all!

I have made countless variations of your dresses and I could not have gotten this far without your knowledge. I appreciate you for sharing what you know and I hope you continue to thrive and receive all of the recognition you deserve. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Hi Kiana, love your designs and other projects, everything is easy so to understand. Thank you for putting out your videos. I’ve learned so much. I’m also in fashion design. Maybe in one of your videos can you teach us how to draft a bustier corset? Hihi hopefully one day thank youuuu

Silk Baron is my favorite source for silk charmeuse! It’s $25/ yard (as opposed to $22 if you’re buying fewer than nine yards fro Dharma Trading), but the quality is incredible and it’s still pretty cheap.
