DRAPING a CORSET style MINI DRESS - THISISKACHI DIY

I MADE A BELT OUT OF THIS PATTERN:
• EVERYDAY CORSET style ...
It is one of the most pleasant things to drape a pattern directly onto the dress form and see an idea come to life right in front of your eyes. In this video I will show you my technique of draping patterns directly onto my dress form and thus creating a pattern.
As I am not a professional pattern draper, this is not a professional method but rather a method that works for me and that I wanted to share with you. It is easy enough for beginners as there are no intense shapes needed.
If you're new here, I'd recommend the BASICS - SEWING SCHOOL playlist, you will find all the episodes of my classes there:
• CUSTOM fit dress form ...

You don't need to apologize, 99% of us know/knew exactly what you meant and continued watching, your work inspires me to keep trying, and to challenge myself to get better at sewing🤞
This is just a bodice! (I don’t blame you for not knowing English is weird and hard- plus the word corset is being heavily misused by fast fashion) If you’d like to know the difference between a corset, variations of a corset, and a bodice I’ll provide some simple definitions- Bodice: a close fitting upper part of a dress, typically from the chest to the waist Corset: A garment made with well structured fabric and steel/metal boning to temporarily change the size of your waist or cinch it in to accentuate it- there’s both underbust and overbust. Waist trainer/waist cincher: a garment designed to specifically target your waist (abdomen) area in order to specifically slim your natural waist and potentially change its size Bustier: looks similar to a corset but it’s indented purpose is to work like a push up bra and not cinch your waist- they also tend to use plastic boning which will not change your body shape

This dress is so cute and I loved seeing your process! In America “corset” also covers a variety of styles...basically anything that has structure, the appearance of structure, or boning. It can be used to describe historical undergarments and silhouettes as well as modern styles

a very lovely dress! love the skirt, it looks like so many layers and adds movement to the dress! one tip for not getting as many wrinkles for the corset is to buy iron on fusible and apply it to the back of your fabric, it will strengthen the fabric and no wrinkles!!
@THISISKACHI

Thank you! I know to do that, for some reason it didn't cross my mind in this project. You know the days you do sth and you seem to not be focused enough and obvious things like the iron on fusing just don't cross your mind? That's what happened to me 😂 in my latest video I corrected the mistake of you're interested in watching 😊
The 'wrinkles' look great. Add texture to the bodice and make it look very interesting. I definitely looks like it was meant to be that way. Beautiful item of clothing, I hope you wear it.
The dress is so cute and the color is so pretty. It suits you. I'd call this a "corset style" dress. Corset by itself tends to mean the old support types
you're definitely inspiring me to sew more than just hems and buttons:D really great work, love your channel! wanted to give an extra thanks for including a longer segment of you modeling the garment-some of the ones from previous videos were short enough that I was always like "nooooooo, you put in so much work and it's amazing, show it off more!!!" xoxo from Berlin

Hello beautiful Kachi, thanks so much for your video, and all the heart you put into it. I had to write a comment, regarding your disclaimer, because I couldn’t let this pass... I want to let you know, that you are correct, this is a Corset, not a bodice. There is a difference between both, a corset has boning, and a bodice doesn't. As a suggestion, review some sewing books regarding so and don't forget the history, so we all can learn. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, you're doing great! Love Gretchen

we call it a boned bodice. and it looks cute. the ruching (unintended) looks good. call it a design element!
In today's fashion a corset is commonly known as any bodice, bustier, or corsets with a lace up in the back. So by today's standard it is definitely a corset in my opinion. I do bridal alterations on almost every brand out there. If it hooks or laces up the tag will say "Corset or Corset back" on it. In the Victorian era it was an undergarment that eventually turned in to a bra. I live in the U.S.A.
its so beautifulllll
Ach wie schön! Du lebst in München, hätte ich nie gedacht. Deine Aussprache ist ja richtig gut💗 Das Kleid sieht übrigens richtig toll aus! Liebe Grüße 🙂

In English, we use the word corset pretty loosely too. If you want the technical definitions, corsets were the structured, steel boned undergarments worn during the Victorian era. Sets of stays are the similarly structured undergarments worn throughout most of history. Boned bodices are everything else with a similar structure as to what you're making.
So cool! Good job
The only thing missing rhat would make it a western/American corset is lacing in the back and a seperate closure. It is positively beautiful. I actually like the wrinkles a lot.
More of these pls
This would technically be a boned bodice. Yes, most people in America will still call this a corset because of the style of the bodice but it does not function as a historical/contemporary corset would, as in giving bust support and creating a desired body shape (not by tightening the waist, this was only done by aristocracy and royalty in Europe historically)
Cold in Canada too💙! I think your lining fabric was not sturdy enough to give the support the boning needs. If you had used fusible interfacing on your fashion layer, sewed channel's between your fashion fabric and lining layer then inserted boning it should solve that problem, but really it looked like a ruching design choice in final design
@THISISKACHI
3 жыл бұрын
Yea that could very well be! In the lilac corset, I fused the lining layer and the outer layer together by adding fake boning channels on the outside. Could be that those prevented the folds. Thank you! 🥰
I am a VERY experienced sewer, and I actually cried while trying to make sense of your skirt "pattern". I came to this video hoping that you would give direction as to the pattern pieces ON the fabric to show how they are laid. I ended up with a front (cut 1) back (cut 2) and an unknown piece that says cut 2, but the pattern pieces don't fit together, the letter triangles don't meet up, and there is absolutely nothing (like a diagram of all the pieces on fabric) to show how to manage the grain and how to place them. Fabric yardage would also be nice. You went step by step through the corset, but rushed through the skirt in less than 1 minute without any specifics! I have made many, many pdf patterned clothing and never had any trouble before. There needs to be more information both on the pattern pieces themselves and a step by step instruction sheet. I am, as usual, on a tight deadline and this took up WAY too much time for something that should have been simple. Please edit your pattern and add an instruction sheet. Thank you.

Hi, I am new to your channel. Your dress is beautiful! I have a few questions about your process. Why use bias tape and not add seam allowance whilst draping? And what type of marker do you use? Is it erasable?
@THISISKACHI
3 жыл бұрын
Im not quite sure what step of the process you are referring to with the bias tape as I am using it for multiple purposes. I don't add seam allowance to the pattern while draping because for me it's easier to see what I'm doing without. I also generally never add seam allowances to any of my pattern because I prefer it that way while cutting out (I always get the pattern paper caught in my fabric scissors and I'd rather add the seam allowance by eye while cutting out). I use washable markers, you can go on Amazon and find them if you search. I will add a link to the ones I am using in my description ones I find the time. 🥰
Wow. I do not know how you execute the most complicated and technical patterns all with such ease! Have you had professional training? P.s. Amazing video. Love your dress sewing videos!!!

I do not understand the construction of the skirt. It was going all good but when it got to the skirt I zoned out And anyways, i loved this tutorial and I loved the result more
very talented.. can you make sew alongs for beginners?
Can you make detail video of how you bias those?

I was wondering if we wanted to make just bodice could we potentially use you corset belt tutorial and add cups of our size?
just curious with the hook and eye closure being i nthe back how would you get dressed if no one could help you ?
Love this so much! Could spiral boning (the type that can bend both vertically and horizontal) work for underwire instead of buying underwire? And what type of fabric did you use/ what do you recommend so I can avoid the wrinkles ! Thank you Sm love your channel:)
@THISISKACHI

I think spiral boning is too stiff for the underwire. But I haven't tried it so I don't know for sure. I would recommend heavier cotton canvas as lining, as well as more structure around the cups and in the middle front. 🥰

Just use old under wire from a bra you have maybe one you don’t wear that much and don’t mind sacrificing
Try cutting the satin on the bias, that will take out a lot of the wrinkling you are getting and it will follow your body shape better
@THISISKACHI

Cutting tight fitting garments on bias defeats the purpose of tight fitting. You shall never cut fabric for corsets or corset like items on the bias. To avoid wrinkles I should have ironed interfacing on which is sth I knew I should do and have done for my next project. It solved the wrinkles 😊
😍😍
I am getting Cinderella vibes! Did I miss how you finished the back of the bodice?
💐💐💐
you should sew all lawyers together this is called flatlining
isn't the skirt she made a full circle skirt? I'm starting to learn sewing, but I know math haha. And her quarter was 90 degrees so 90 degrees times 4 would be 360? The skirt also looks to be quiet full in the end... I'm not complaining just confused!
Every fabric is different, so you need to do a test fit and make your adjustments
How did you do the ruffling of the skirt?
A Boned Bodice with a handkerchief skirt
Watching this a year later since I have a corset looking shirt which I’d like to add a skirt to and this is exactly what I was looking for Edit: am I the only one who’s audio keeps cutting out every once in a while in this video?
Bustier (from French) top is another way this style top is called in English. Anything that resembles old corset shape with light boning, but is fashionable can be called a bustier.
In german the word that should be closesed for bodice whould be "Mieder" I think. I now that there is another one but Mieder should be fine. Edit: Yes Bodice = Mieder in german the other thing was stays = Schnürbrust in german

This is a cute dress your out of layer need to be a litter larger but not bad
Hi! I think you could say it's a bustier, but I don't think anyone should go crazy if you used the word "corset". Fashion and sewing is art and art is known for it's non-exact and all-over-the-place nature when it comes to creating something, especially when you're inspired by something but you're recreating it according to your individual style. So everyone should mind their own business and should just stop being naughty towards people who dare to create something new and beautiful. 🙂 The dress turned out amazing!

Hi! M.A. in English w/ Deutsch für meine zweitere Sprache. 'Corset,' 'stays,' 'bodies,' und 'bodice' sind zehr technische Wörter, und es wahr, das dies 'bodice' sind ist. Aber, zumindest für Amerikanische Englisch, ist eine kleidung mit wahr oder falsche 'boning channels' und ein form-fitting bodice eine 'corset-dress,' wann es eine corset mit oder nicht ist genant. Ich hoffe dass das hilft, und vergeben Sie bitte dass meine Wortschatz ein bißchen zu klein ist. Danke für KZread benützen!
