Tip for anyone who wants to make a bodice or any corset-type thing with foam: you can use your sewing patterns! Just make it a bit bigger than your measurements, bc foam is much thicker than fabric, but follow your pattern shapes, add all the darts, and you should have a great base to work off of!

Wouldn't be a Rachel Maksy production without Frodo running across the pattern lmao

Definitely would suggest dip dying if you still want that ombre aged effect. It's really quite easy....you "dip" one end into a cat of dye, allowing that end to dye to desired color. Simultaneously, the dye naturally sort "bleeds" up into the rest of the fabric, creating a very natural gradient.

So many things to appreciate: The rust colored top “Sponsor Rachel” was wearing, the completely amazeballs pop culture references (Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and The Goonies in the first 8 minutes), the utterly stunning source material, and the incredible final product.

I appreciate how brutally honest you are with your critique of your dress, but you don't let it get you down and stay positive!

Please don’t put yourself down. You are NOT a potato. I agree it’s not the most flattering of corsets, but that’s just because of the material. BUT, the detailing and bindings.

I really enjoyed this video and I love your quirkiness. I see a lot of my daughter in you.

Rachel, this is AMAZING! You ARE a designer and an artist. Never forget that! … A suggestion for a gradient transition from bodice to skirt could be adding different gold lace, tulle and any other transparent fabric you can find, gathering it and gradually using less of it as you go down the dress.

Seriously.

Hey Rachel! A good technique for getting a color gradient on fabric without an airbrush (or paint) is to get the fabric completely wet in a bathtub with plain water, then stick one end of the fabric in the color you like and it will soak into the fabric slowly and create a gradient. Getting the fabric wet beforehand helps the color to flow easier and fade into the water and dilute into a gradient. (and and if you want a brown/reddish or green color, you can use tea and it won't stain your tub!) If you don't want your bath tub to be used though, you can just use a large cooking pot. Good luck!

5:58 all the focus went to the skirts! Haha. Also I love the tablecloth dress! Looking gorgeous and hobbity as always. I’ve never been able to read your tattoo before and I LOVE IT.

Argh it's so good! Using tobacco cloth was such a good choice. This has reminded me that it is ok under some circumstances not to hem things. Hope you're having a lovely weekend 💕

You have the cutest dog in the history of ever.

My dearest Rachel: two things I thought of for this recreation. The first is: I would have used a thinner foam for the bodice overall. The second: I would have used an actual corset, tied myself down, measured the back spacing, and then tied it down on a large bag of rice or a dress form to those spacing measurements to then heat form the foam. But! I find this am amazing recreation! Your videos, as well as a few other period dressers are inspiring me to go and create. Your usage of craft materials as well as goodwill finds has inspired me to begin making my own clothes. I've wanted to for quite some time, but now I think I really may.

I made a presentation 2 years ago about her for my french class! The dress is actually made out of real books!!!!! She was born in Arras (a small city where Robespierre was also born) and the books used in this dress belonged to a small bookstore there called "La Grande Librairie", the dress was a challenge since dismembering the book cover without damaging it (since the books she used were REALLY old) was very hard, but she somehow managed it after many hours of work. By the way, she also has a dress made of a *real* violin! And many other beautiful garments.

This was so unique and creative - I love the thought behind each part, the unconventional fabric for the skirt for example - so fairy like! And the fake book names were amazing... If I ever saw you in a convention wearing this, I hope to be brave enough to ask you to let me read all of the names while admiring the different book designs!

Okay, 1 - potatoes are probably the most popular vegetable. 2 - the foam makes you look like a Fairy Warrior! It’s your armor! ❤️

I would suggest using Worbla (thermoplastic modelling materials). It's widely used in cosplaying and it's it is easily moldable using heat gun. Hope this helps if you ever want to recreate the bodice of this Book Dress. Other than that, you have done a great job! The gold gilding part is very nice too, I love it! Super nice touch!

That's so cool! I loved it! I think I would just make the base for the bodice out of regular fabric I think, try to construct it like a corset and then add the thin foam on top. But then again, never made it, I have no idea. But good job, I think you nailed it!

I Love how unwillingly Rachel is to ever let go go of the dead spongebob meme OnE eTeRnITy lAtEr

Oh Rachel, your videos are just fuel for my soul.

seeing this dress I can only think about the ghost of a librarian who haunts the old destroyed ruins of the one she worked at. great work rachel! I'm so amazed at your creativity and the way you get around things, it's really inspiring!

You can always dip dye the skirt if you want to get a gradient. Also, pro-tip for crafting or sewing with pets: have a decoy project set out and pretend to be interested in it. Once your pet has claimed the decoy, then you can work on your actual project.

Literally just got out of surgery and I have been looking forward to this soooo much!!!!

Good job!! 👍👏 If you are going to revisit this dress, to help the shape of the bodice, instead of the foam you could use canvas or denim for the base. In that way you can have more control over the shape. I like your creativity. I like the colors and design of your books more than the original.

This is beautiful!! I really love all the little details like the gold leaf. You said you wanted a gradient for the skirt and i know its probably too late now but you could always soak the top of the skirt in tea and then hang it up letting it leech into the rest of the skirt? Idk if that would work but its an idea!! Great work as always i really love this!!!

Rachel's version reminds me of Degas' little dancer statute

Oh my! That gold leaf process is magical to look at! Literal Midus touch! *chefs kiss * 😘👌

In the future I would definitely recommend a duct tape pattern! It’s a cheat but dang it, it works. Basically duct tape yourself into a T-shirt, trace out the shape of the desired bodice and the seam lines, have someone help you cut yourself out of the shirt, and bam! Perfectly fitting bodice pattern! Also works wonderfully for Italian Renaissance dresses! Also, no need for a bra. Just wear the one you prefer to wear and usually you get the same support from the bodice alone depending on the material.
