We tackle a GIANT: making the Ever After Breathe Dress, part 2

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

I can confirm, as the dress is finished and I've worn it twice already, that I am absolutely in love with how this turned out and I can't wait to share the rest of the process with you!

I love seeing you all do this! Mariah Patty made it for her wedding! Rachel Maksy made hers and took it to England for a photo shoot at a historical site. And you have been working on this for a long time but sometimes you just need to sit on a project until you're ready and I am so excited to see what's next!

glad i am not the only one who can start a project and leave it sitting for 3 years and come back to it later

I am so glad you persevered over 4 years. The dress is simply wonderful!! Somethings are worth it and this dress is an amazing work of art. 🎉

Absolute legend behaviour to handsew 100s of french knots for something that’s mostly hidden 😅😅😅
Can’t wait for part 3 👏👏👏

love how 2023 seems to be the year of this particular dress! this is the third video to come across my youtube homepage dedicated to recreating this specific dress and i've enjoyed watching them all, despite not seeing the movie... yet. i swear i will get around to doing that some day :D

That underskirt with all the French knots is gorgeous! Thanks for the sneak peek at the back-- I can't wait to see the rest!

I swear, underarm gussets have become my secret weapon for "how did my bust measurement lie again?" fit issues...

As a beginner I really appreciate you sharing your nonlinear thought process happening in real time!

[Annartygirl]

When the other versions of YouTubers making this dress started coming out I was searching madly for your version. I watched the beginning and was thinking I just missed the final project. I am so glad that you are finishing it I love your style of video and sewing.
I love hearing the way that you think about things and work through problems because it is very familiar.

[katecapek]

Having the train of thought/decision sections are definitely helpful. Please do continue including them.

I remember the very first video in this series and I’m so glad that you got to complete it! Very exciting haha. I even felt inspired to make my own honestly (although it might take me 4 years too tbh). It came out beautifully (saw in last video)!

[ZaydaFleming]

The arm gusset might not be movie dress accurate but is probably time period accurate so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Excited to see the next video!

[susanrobertson]

Beautiful. I have learned the hard way to take my time and make it right because I am never going back to fix it once it goes into rotation to wear. I admire your perseverance!!❤

[yostralienne]

I absolutely love when things take time ! 4 years to complete GO crafts take time !! and yes the pauses are part of the process.. always celebrate when you turn an unfinished project into a simple hiatus for creativity :)

[kerriemckinstry-jett]

I have projects which have sat on the back burner for 10+ years. 4 years for a seriously complicated project that looks that good? That's fine! 😂

[theoriginalnik]

I love the dress and the movie so much, im so excited to see the final product.

And don’t feel bad about the time, things take as long as they take and it really is better to take your time instead of rushing through. As we speak I have a dress project that certainly wasn’t supposed to take a year to finish but here we are lol

[charlarp]

That sneak peak is breathtaking!!! I was so happy to see this video, I have been patiently waiting to see you finish, worth the wait!

[ginalou]

I love listening to you think through your problems. It’s what I do. Sometimes it just helped to say things out loud and hear them not just think it…

[makeda]

Yesss! More of the dress!
Breathe tea party of all the dress owners. Hehe I know nothing about the dress, I only know about the 3 I’ve seen this year but the Italian renaissance is a look. Maybe I’ll make something similar one day.
