My MET GALA Dress was CURSED!

Рет қаралды 8,052

Ай бұрын

I may not have been invited to the ball but that isn't going to stop me dressing up for it! The Met Gala has such an amazing theme this year that I HAD to make something for it. My design has many historical influences from Edwardian Era fashion, in both the silhouette and embellishments, including my first attempt at ribbon embroidery.
This has been a dream project for me, even if it turned out to be slightly cursed with how much went wrong throughout the make!
I hope you all enjoy the video and love the end result as much as I do 🥰

You hit the theme far better than the majority of attendees.

Thank you😄 There’s always a group that show up plain or in unrelated things but those that did follow the theme looked phenomenal this year 😍🤌🏻

Omg you legend doing the ribbon embroidery in normal ribbon and off a slate frame 🙌🙌🙌🙌 we use silk ribbon to do it with as it goes through much easier but costs a fortune. Beautiful work, you have a new fan! ❤

@MadameMyriad Ай бұрын

Haha thank you 😄 I thought about putting it on my bigger frame but it didn’t seam worth it for how much I would have to keep moving it! Yea I was definitely on a budget, but I really enjoyed it and want to have a go at some more complicated designs next time (maybe down the line I’ll invest in some silk to make life easier though). Thanks again 🖤

I'm trying to limit my time watching videos to a few a week and I'm soo glad I got to watch yours on my break day!! It is really inspiring to watch you make something so beautiful, and I actually find it very encouraging that it wasn't all smooth sailing but you still came out with something so lovely (Helps me feel better when I sew my own projects upside-down 😅) You should feel really proud 😁 God bless

@MadameMyriad 28 күн бұрын

Aww thank you, that’s so kind of you to say ☺️ honestly it would feel dishonest if I made out any of my projects were smooth sailing, many mistakes get made - I didn’t even keep them all in, would have made the video too long😅 Thanks again 🖤🖤

Thank you! Haha, they were a bit of a risk, I’m very glad they actually worked 😄 Not yet but I did buy some fabric for her about 8 months ago, haven’t got a design yet but I knew the fabric was perfect so I had to get it 😄 Also I would HAVE to plan a trip up to Scotland to shoot that too 🖤

Cursed it was, but the result looks amazing 🤩. The cutouts and the embroidery are a perfect match with the overall shape and fabrics. Definitely a project to be proud of! Going by your reference to the wigs, any change the next Disney princes is Rapunzel?
