Make the skirt as a circle skirt! Much less sewing!

When I cosplayed Oogie Boogie, I made my dress inspired by the image you shared. I covered the dress in little bugs. Some I sewed on and some I just super glued on... but man I was leaving a trail of bugs everywhere I went. Fitting, but when I wear it again I’m going to have to rebug it.

It looks amazing! Now I'm eyeballing airbrush kits, I want to make a dress like this tbh. Protip; to avoid the sorta weird thing between skirt and lining in other projects where you don't want it, sew each lining panel to each skirt panel before sewing the panels together. Source; been sewing for 20 years.

Rachel: "For the bodice, I'm going to cut and sew the lining and burlap together to save time." Me: Welcome to flatlining! I was so proud and happy when I saw you do that. It's a wonderful technique for handling fabrics that shift around a lot (like chiffon and burlap). You can use it for the skirt too, if someone wants to attempt it without the baggy look.

A tip for strapless: When one constructs strapless pieces from scratch one takes out width in the top edge by slimming in the top inch of the seams, to make it go ever so slightly in on the top edge. Using a pattern as you are doing here it will most likely not use this in the construction as it can look a little strange to someone without this knowledge. The easiest way and what I imagine will be most useful for your kind of process is to just pinch in the top of each side seam, and if needed on the other seams too. Hope this is useful information to you (or anyone else reading)!

I feel like the next logical step is Jack skellington secret pants

*sees burlap * *has flashbacks to when my theatre group used burlap hoop skirts for the ensemble and my fellow techies and I had 30 seconds to get them into them which resulted in all of us getting rope burn *

Would highly recommend to sew the skirt and bodice lining pieces and the burlap pieces as units separately! You could sew the lining and the burlap entirely separately (like you were making two dresses) but for stability I recommend the following: sew skirt burlap and embroider, then sew skirt lining (same for top). Sew skirt lining and skirt burlap together at the waist. Then sew bodice lining and bodice burlap together at the top of the bodice, and sew just the bodice burlap to the skirt pieces. The lining of the bodice can then get neatly folded over the skirt seam allowance and sewn down to hide it. This way you won’t get itchy seams. I think it would still work with how you inserted the bugs too... you did a such great job! It looks gorgeous :)

Random thoughts throughout the vid: 1. Frodo is the most adorable pattern weight! 2. Yes, Rachel’s going to love airbrushing! (I actually pumped my fist, I was so excited for you!) 3. It was nice seeing you so happy and confident working on a project. You’ve come so far in your sewing journey from the first dress. Good job!

It was my first project and it worked super well. Go for it, and if you want a pristine wavy bottom hem, sew horsehair in

I absolutely love the hand-stitched details!! :) One of my favorite dress designs as well. Really really really like how it turned out. ^_^ Make sure to use plastic boning along the side seams and princess seams to keep the top up. :)

Love the shot with the morbid podcast playing on the TV. They are also my go to crafting companions!

“Apparently burlap sheds like a husky in summertime” OMG she gets it!

I love having your videos on while I'm working. Makes me feel like im sewing with a friend. Especially here in 2020.

Hi Rachel! I'm a character artist for video games, so I make characters (as well as their clothes) and watching your videos is SOO interesting to me. Because we do a lot of the things you do, and you mimic a lot of the things we do :D It's pretty standard now adays to use a program called Marvelous Designer to create clothes in games. It's basically a pattern designing software that allows to to simulate cloth draping over a model! It has tons of different ways you can sew, make button holes, have internal seams etc! When you add what you call 'weathering' to a project in the place where 2 panels meet in games we call that ambient occlusion (AO) which is the ambient shadow any surfaces cast on each other based on proximity to one another. Just very neat how two different art forms pull from and mimic each other :)

That caterpillar reminded me of Heimlich from A Bug's Life. Edit: Did NOT get to the end of the video before I commented this XD

"I'M A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!" *said with an Austrian accent*

I love how this turned out but my one suggestion would be maybe a little bit of corset boning or whatever you call it in the front panels of the dress? Would help the bunching i think.

@rosacanisalba

Some tape over the seams to insert it would also cover the burlap on the inside and reduce any scratchy

@michellewerner1195

I agree that some boning would give more structure, the prom dress Marty’s Mom wore in the movie had boning, guaranteed. Especially for a strapless dress it helps a lot. It is also a Giant Pain in the Buttocks. I worked with boning maybe twice in my life and I hated it. That said, the dress turned out AMAZING and she can always add boning later if she wants ❤️

@@livelongandprospermary8796 another of my addictions! Some twill tape hand felled (thank you Bernadette) over each seam then cable ties trimmed to size (proud to be a Micaracan) and inserted into the twill tape channels will hold it straight (just as Sewstine showed on her examination of the pink Harlots dress).

I can feel the itchy burlap just watching! But such a LOOK!

First time watching this, did not know of Voiceplay - Oogie boogie song. Time passes. Now watching it and have seen it (and other videos of theirs. Love them.) is happy to hear their song for a moment.

There is a thing in strapless dresses from the 50’s called a stay. It’s a band of ribbon usually you insert that keeps the dress from sliding down like that. Learned it for Gertie and I use it all the time now. Very easy to do too

Mini Williams historically stays were the precursor to corsets. There’s some subtle differences but I think they’re pretty similar. I’m still learning so I’m not 100% sure, but I’ve been learning a lot as I watch more historical sewing videos! :)

Honestly the glow parts of Oogie Boogie in the film look like they're under a blacklight so I wouldn't worry so much about the glow-in-the-dark not working so much without such lighting.
