Recreating Blake Lively’s Versace dress for my sister (fall edition!)

[fidato_]

Blake's dress makes her look like she is walking down from heaven.
Her dress looks like she is going to war.

Completely different vibes.

This is why those designers charge so much

I give it to you, 👏👏I've looked this dress over, head to toe, front to back and it looks so How they got the rouching around the waist while keeping the colors separate and ALOT of hand sewing and alot of crystals....I bet she had to be there for it to be finished, it fits her body perfectly! How did you find the experience? I find the dying process to be frustrating and very time consuming. But I do it all the time😆The color choice was very interesting for your dress, very fall!! I've wanted to try it, but haven't dared

Love the colors together and you’re an AMAZING seamstress but I’m personally not a fan of the execution. It’s too short. It makes the dress look frumpy.

I thought that white liquid was milk... I was so confused before I realised it was starch

You did amazing, I love that take of the look, and the color scheme! Screams fall, very cute, if that hood is wearable bonus points! ✨ 🥰

I think this was a great attempt and I don't necessarily agree with the comments about the colors. The colors could work if you made the dress floor length and cleaned up the lines around the torso more to create the same effect as the Versace. I think the design and effect get muddled bc of the way the fabric was arranged so it looks a lot more chaotic, especially with the choice of length.

In this dress colors are the literal vibe..blake's look like it's really light and soft the other one gives heavy ukwim

A smile on sisters face cud have changed things .although dress was good n inspired thoughts from the actor

I can see a tiny bit of resemblance, which is still way better than I could do. I mean this is definitely an extremely difficult skill level, and I don't want to dismiss that. However, I don't think they really had much in common besides the chunks of color and a ridiculous amout of ruching? Gathering? Pleating? Smocking? Honestly, I'm not at all sure what you call this type of stitching or what have you.

Don’t take people’s opinion to heart sweets. If it’s your first time making this type of dress well this is a big jump, but you made it so well and I’m amazed by it. Keep sewings, you’re gifted. The dress is beautiful.

The song was an amazing song choice, the dress was also amazing aswell. 👍

[FroggyNightmare]

The work and love put into this dress is just wonderful, and she seems to like the end results, you did such a good job!

[funtime_error_]

This looks incredible I love the style so much, all the different loose fabrics it looks amazing😍

[ghostlygena]

this is so amazing!! I can’t even imagine how difficult trying to get all that fabric to even sit would be wow

I think if you said "inspired by" rather than recreated people would chill. It looks cool, and I can see the source inspiration in it for sure.

I think if you do this again and want to go for the ethereal quality of the Versace dress, focus on less harsh angles when you pin it, and maybe add some twists and more gentle shapes from the draping. I think also because the colors you used have such high contrast it's hard to get a nice visual blending too all the layers. And maybe a sheer or mesh skin toned dress underneath rather than a white one.

Again, still looks awesome and super unique, not something many people would ever even attempt!!

Ngl, Blake's dress gives off seven veil vibes.
