How I made THE Princess Dress from Ever After | Breathe Dress part III, a thousand trims

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

I'm so happy to finally share with you the last bit of the making of the Breathe dress from the 1998 film Ever After. The dress is worn by Danielle de Barbarac to the ball in her big Cinderella moment, and it's a beautiful Italian Renaissance inspired dress in a myriad of silver trim, embroidery, and beading. If you'd like to know more about the project, make sure you check out the other videos in this series and Instagram for more images and videos of the finished dress!

“It just goes to show, no matter how long you plan a project things will still go wrong.” What a mood, and mad props for all your problem solving and perseverance! I really get a sense from your video about the scale of this project and am just in awe of your abilities and the dress.

It may have taken 4 years to complete, but it certainly wasn't time wasted. This is a beautiful piece of art.

This is beautiful! I can see how it would take so long to complete. The embroidery is absolutely gorgeous.

I just finished sewing my Lady Galadriel-inspired wedding dress
It took me four months, and it was a nerve-wracking experience from start to finish, even though the design was well within my level of sewing experience. But when you are working on your dream dress, every single step is nerve-wracking

OH MY GOSH! Your attention to detail in this gown is amazing, and you are so beautiful in it!!!

[juliemiller]

Just such a beautiful creation! I quilt, so 4 years on this dress is proof that with patience and perseverance we can accomplish complex projects. Something also needs to be said about the beautiful local you chose to film the reveal at. What a magical spot. And yes! Keep adding to it!

It's a proof that if you really want to do something, you can achieve it. It might took 4 years, but now you have an incredible dress. And how much did you learn by making it!

That gown is a piece of art - so delicately butterfly wings beautiful. The background for the reveal was beyond perfect - like you'd stepped into a medieval fairy story tale 😊

Excuse my while I just scream for joy for 20 minutes at how marvelous this is! It’s amazing in every way and I’m so glad everything fell into place 😊

[kellyrose]

Holy smokes! If a project took me four years, it would be because I threw it in a corner and refused to touch it for 3.5 of those years. Your tenacity is really really impressive! The dress is stunning!

[molinattiaudrey]

never shut up about it please . it helps me to be motivated to finish mine

[coreygilles]

Well that is just a breathtaking dress! it’s so beautiful it could be a wedding dress ❤

[lexitippett]

I’ve seen several people make versions of this dress over the years, but yours is 100% the best. That attention to detail would make any designer so proud! It looks exactly like the one from the film! I’m amazed!

[loverizzato]

Absolutely stunning!!! I wish there was a way for Drew Barrymore to see this and for you to meet her in your dress!!

[debraanneclark]

The hard work really paid off and the dress looks amazing on you. Sometimes things take time for a reason

[eebeegee]

Well done Cat! It's breathtaking! 😊

[skatfan]

Wow it’s so beautiful! The trims you made are fantastic and the overall look is really stunning. ❤

[dorota]

Oh my... it is stunning. The grey colour really fits you. And the dress gives you so much joy, you're just glowing. Congratulations on the finished project Cat - definitely worth the time! The embroidered panels really take the breath away. I never seen much appeal in the Breathe Dress, but it makes me happy to see you finishing your dream gown. Yaay!

[TruFlyFox]

This is gorgeous. I don't think I have seen a more accurate interpretation of this dress.

I'm so proud of you for completing your goal - as long-term as it turned out to be LOL. Your embroidery and every other part of this dress is stunning and you should feel very accomplished.
