Noise stress is a real thing, it's been getting worse for me as i get older. You are not alone in this. I love how the neckline turned out!

Um, EXCUSE ME. That dress is gorgeous!! It’s even better because you look so happy in it. Every formal dress you’ve made has been so cool. I hope you had a fantastic time!

When you show off the gores in your seemingly plain black dress in the reveal, it reminded me of those birds in nature docs that show off their iridescent feathers during their little mating dances in ways that you could NEVER expect😂 I hope you know what I’m talking about

So. How many people asked you that night, "Who made your dress?" Nicely done. You are showing how versatile a pattern can be when you try making it in different materials.

as an anxious human with childhood trauma, you are not alone in getting triggered by tone of voice or just noise stimulation. sending you love & wishing you peace. ps you are so creative and talented, and you ROCKEDDDDD this!!! 😍🔥🖤

And fear of cutting is a LEGITIMATE thing! I took HOURS yesterday to figure out how to cut a circle skirt out of quilting cotton. (Yes, I know Mood's calculator and was referencing it.) Hours. There might (was) paper involved to make sure I wasn't screwing it up. I needed 1.5 years of fabric, have

"Let's cut a hole in the thing that I like. It'll be fine." No other statement ever uttered has made me feel so understood.

I wonder if you could get a pattern off of that jumpsuit to clone it? Of course, it is in black with pockets and looks amazingon you so it is already perfect.

I’ve been wanting to work on making my own wardrobe and this video really helped me with some of the overwhelm thats stopping me from doing that. I’ve watched many of your videos and the fact that you have made so many different pieces using this one pattern as the base really makes a full wardrobe project seem reasonable. At this point I feel like if I start making a few pieces just to see what I like once I’ve found one or two patterns that I enjoy the rest will be “easy”.

You are absolutely right to dislike even the semblance of conflict. Our whole family is the same, and some of us actually get physically ill from shouting matches. You're a perfect fit for KZread videos. The fact that you share your process is very helpful to others. And your delight when something works out is --- delightful. And yes, you made the right decision to do a shaped neck band. Anything else would have cheapened the final effect.

If you dont feel like felling the seams or top stitching the seams down. You can use a rolled hem foot for the seems instead of a flat foot. It makes the seam thinner so less likely to show.

Same here with loud noises, in Basic training, we had KP duty out in the field, and i was in charge of laying out bread. All of a sudden, the soldier next to me started banging the ladle on the metal top of the container in front of him. Without even thinking, I backhanded him in the chest. When I looked up at him, it wasn't the same soldier that started there. It was a Drill Sergeant. My eyes got big as saucers, mouth hit the floor, I started profusely apologizing, and he just pointed to the ground. My platoon drill sergeants walked up wanting bread and asked who was doing push ups since they knew our platoon was in charge that day, and I identified myself while continuing the push ups. Not to toot my horn, but I was a very good soldier, so they were shocked when he told them I hit him.

That grey hoodie dress you are wearing in the beginning always reminds me of some ttrpg character, probably a novice cleric or something along those lines. I love that.

Another way to do the mesh cutout might be to stich the mesh on before cutting the other fabric off. It's what Bernadette Banner did for her lacy dress. Might make it a little less stressful.

That dress is BREATHTAKING and you are PERFECT in it. It looks designer (and it IS custom designed), and I get the confidence issues out with people who bought "fancy" dresses, but I am telling you... you absolutely nailed it.

I very much agree with being anxious with loud/“angry” voices, I’m the same 😅

Sorry, I have to tell in my native lenguage: el vestido es sensacional!! es hermoso, te queda perfecto, hiciste un trabajo maravilloso!! Tu creatividad es enorme!! Felicitaciones!!!

Maybe this should have been sponsored by Bose instead! 😂 (jokes aside, my noise cancelling headphones have saved me so much energy by reducing overstimulation)

That dress is absolutely gorgeous! It's amazing and you look amazing in it! I'm so happy it all worked out for you and that your mood was boosted during the creation process. Have a good day!
