Thanks for the input on the video angles! I was trying some new styles and I know all of them didn't work, but I like trying new things! Also, the colors are not 100% the final colors, I'll be perfecting the shades once I do my final mix!

@Bella Mae's Designs The second camera is unnecessary and highly distracting. The poping back and forth is slightly nauseating and adds nothing because it's just you talking to another camera. If you want to be artistic with your camera work take a class.

This video was super interesting! I really want to try screen printing now. Not sure I would get enough sun here in England to get them to dry properly though so I might have to buy the special lamp 😅 Your dedication to your work is definitely inspiring. And I totally agree that perfectionism for something you're passionate about is not a negative thing at all. Wanting to get something right for you is great! Also, yes, on the colours. Looking on the screen (which might make them look different than in real life so I might be wrong), the green seemed a little bit too blue compared to the movie pictures. Making mixing it with a bit of ivory dye could help?

I really appreciate videos like these that show the experimentation process. Sometimes it's easy to convince ourselves that the creators we watch always know the perfect solution/approach right off the bat, and it can be really discouraging when we try things ourselves and don't have amazing results immediately. It's nice to have reminders that trial and error is part of the process too, even if it sometimes doesn't get shown in a video!

Thank you for demonstrating so many methods! It really helps those who don’t know where to start or don’t have the means to buy all these different materials to find out for ourselves what works. Thanks for sharing!!

If you close your eyes it sounds like we're eavesdropping on Cinderella make her own dress ;) . Love the video!

I used the old school 'marky' method for years and just recently got an iPad and Procreate. Wow! What an upgrade. Totally fun and powerful design tool. I made an embroidery pattern this same way based on a medieval purse I traced and it turned out fabulously! Love that I can resize and refine the designs so easily to suit my perfectionist brain. 😂

So cool! My grandma is in the middle of hand painting my sister’s wedding dress! We are doing the one from the 2015 Cinderella movie🙃

Regarding your paint methods, if you would have added yellow into your pinks and green it probably would have been more coral-y and the green wouldn't have been as bright and blue-y, and probably would've ended up looking closer to the reference 💖

Agree, especially the green.

This was inspiring! I haven't screen printed since the 1970's. Kinda want to try it again. :)

super fun video, screen printing with both pigment binders and dye is on the pensum at my design school so seeing you do it home was pretty inspiring as we usually work in a huge room with a lot of specialised equipment. once you get to printing on your final fabric, i can recomend using threads to mark out a grid to guide where you place down the screen! you measure at the edges of the fabric, use pins as markers and string thread around them, across the fabric. you can make a little mark at the edge of the frames to line up with said threads. i also recomed adding a little yellow to both your green and perhaps your corals, it would warm them up and give them a hue closer to you reference photos.

Sodium alginate and cold dye is genius for screen printing! I always learn something new here☺️ I love the dedication to details, I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself. It always seems more perfect when another perfectionist has a go at something, maybe because we're our own worst critics.

I am absolutely frothing over this project - this dress is so goddamn underrated so I can't wait to see the complete making of it!! Loving this series so far

This seriously demystifies so much of these processes! Great video!

Ref: 6:20 If you just have a pixel picture or single layer vector file you can separate out the different color without much work in most paint/drawing program by generating a mask keyed to the color want separated. Then you can use the mask to remove the other colors or copy it to an new layer. If the source is from a photo or video you can use a color range to get all the different variation of a color to a single mask that you can key to the color that will be used for the printing.

Love watching your thought process as you try out the different options. The results were spectacular. Also thanks for the overview of the different ways this can be accomplished.

👋 I loooove the work you have done on that dress, well done :) You are really inspiring me to pick up sewing again :) As for the camera angles, my ADHD brain is really struggling to stay engage I also rely a bit on lip reading, which I can't really do with the side angle I was still able to stick with the video and understand because you are very articulate so the autogenerated subtitles are usually accurate But that's just how my weird brain is wired x) if you and most of your audience like it, that's what matters ^^

I think the information in this video is amazing. Learnt so much about Procreate and how it works, it was so interesting. The screen printing, stencilling and dyes were so fascinating. I was so thrilled to see this being demonstrated, just so cool. And the results, so satisfying to watch them all. However… I am just so not a fan of all the video angles. I love it when you talk to the camera. You are so engaging and informative and I appreciate when you talk directly to the camera, as I can relate so much more to you when I feel you are talking to me, the viewer. Thank you again for making this content.

The way you made the screens was really neat. Thanks for explaining all of the different methods ranging from low tech to fancy.

Your description of how to make your own screens for screen printing is the best I’ve ever come across on KZread. I now feel like I can screen print and be successful with it. Thank you!!

Yay!!! I'm so glad you're back to this project! 😃

Lovely can't wait you putting this in the actual skirt

This will be so helpful in my journey as a design student. Thank you.

So excited you're back on this dress!

So excited to watch! Love this dress so much 🥰🥰

I love you so much for putting this out here. I would have assumed you needed to resist dye to have clear fibers to dye another color. You just opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

I'm pretty sure you don't remember, but your last two videos came out when I was just writing my master's thesis and then when I had submitted it, and those videos allowed me to get out of the chaos of my own head. And now I came home from my first week of "real work" (or well... I'm still a PhD student, but now I'm doing pretty much the same work as before whilst getting paid, so it counts as a work week to me) and you uploaded a new video! That's like as good as it can get, and it feels like you're accompanying me somehow from the other side of the ocean in this overwhelming time when so much is happening in my life. So thank you again so much! ☺️ I know you make these videos for everyone, but it fits so perfectly to my own life that it almost feels like fate wants to balance out everything that's going on and having me relax a little bit 😇

I just found your video and I love it. About cutting the stencils if you can get a Silhouette Cameo 3 or up you will be able to do any design you want, the program is very designer friendly and all you did in your ipad is done right on Silhouette program. Separation of colors and cutting. The Silhouette program is compatible with all Windows or Mac and you can download the Basic version for free and you don't need to go back to their website to use it. Silhouette doesn't discontinue their programs and the prices for the machines are way lower than others in the market. I bought my Silhouette Cameo-3 4 years ago and still very happy with it. At first I thought the program was going to be difficult for me, because I don't understand computers too well, but I made my first project on the first day I open the box.

I really love the fact that you show your experimentations

This was so cool! Seaweed thickener is super cool! I'm so excited to see the final fabric!!

You can also get fabric paint medium which you can mix with the paint to dilute it. It also makes it fixable with heat.

i ALWAYS enjoy watching your process of research and testing to get the perfect outcome. can't wait to see this project come to its finale.

For the green part , try adding a bit of yellow. From what I could tell it is parrot green so it should work.

I fell in love with the pink robe from Our Flag Means Death just before this video came out and I am getting Ideas....

Wow I didn't know there was that much on the dress. I thought the skirt just had brown smudges. Now I see what it really looks like. Good thing I decided to wait to make mine until I see what you did.

Really excited to learn about seaweed thickener for dye usage, it kind of really opens up more doors since there are so many color options for dye mixes that are hard to achieve with regular paints. However, I do have to wonder if you ever considered the use of fabric medium with the paints as opposed to water. I haven't used it myself but it seems handy

I've always wondered about this ! thank you !

I loved this video. I have always wondered how to this. Now I am willing to try it. I will look for the tutorial! Your videos are wonderful. Just enough personality and the right balance of technique and instruction. Totally impressed!

I cannot wait to do this myself! you've done such a great job! I cannot wait for the final results!

Once again amazing. So much to learn from your videos!

Thank you Bella! You're such an inspiration!

Thank you!! I’ve been wanting to do this experiment of the various methods but have no knowledge hence the procrastination. This is soo helpful. Can’t wait for the next tutorial!

This is a really helpful video for all types of sewing projects!

Bella, you never fail to impress me

Undid not know cricket is absoulet. Good job bella! The results are intresting

I love this. You are too good at it 💗

I think I'm going to try these techniques to make a Rapunzel dress! I think I'll end up doing a lot of embroidery, but I think I can maybe do a base of painting the pattern with one of these methods and be fine if I don't have time to embroider everything.

niiiiice. i really wanted to try painting with dye after learning about japanese fabric painting methods

wonderful, bella!!

I am your biggest fan of yours

If you want the painted fabric to be softer/more flexible, just mix fabric softener into the paint before painting on fabric. Hopefully that helps! 👍🏻

I think the green needs to have some yellow added to it; on the blue fabric, it's leaning more blueish-green, but in the film it appears more lime green. Loved loved loved the video by the way! I've always wondered how screen printing works!

I love watching your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖💖

Excellent💯👍👏

I vote for option C toilet paper holder. You should use the one you like!

I've been experimenting using stencils on plywood for beehives, and have found sponge dabbers at the dollar store that work way better than those black wedge-shaped foam paint "brushes" for dotting the paint on. Love that idea with dye and sodium alginate though, one of the reasons I don't tend to paint clothing is I don't like stiff spots on my clothes and that would solve the issue pretty handily! And I had no idea screen printing was that approachable... looking forward to the tutorial. Thanks!

You know you created a word/term here... Marky. And thank you for the info on printing. Loved the video.

They could've just made a plain 1950s blue dress, but Sandy Powell said "No! I wanna go hard!" and created a beautiful hybrid dress with beautiful floral designs in many different shades! The finished dress is chef's, kiss honestly!

I love your videos. It looks like your green is consistently a bit too cool (could use more yellow)... Maybe that's just how it's showing up on camera :)

Me: Maybe I should try watching some videos about dealing with perfectionism for the sake of my mental health. My avoidance: What if we watched a video on printing designs on fabric instead? Bella: Hi, welcome to therapy

Oh my gosh I have the same ancient Cricut! It was so cool in 2007 but since the new ones came out and they stopped making things compatible with it now it’s just a giant boulder in my craft cabinet :/

What is your process when dealing with copyright for the host designs?

I've heard you're supposed to mix your paint with fabric softener to make it less stiff on the fabric once it dries

So do you use vectors or a png Those are two very different things What do mean vector graphics or pixels

Hello I love this design Im trying to purchase the pdf on your website but it’s saying there’s a critical error, is there something I should do to complete this purchase? Sorry I’m double commenting, I commented on the wrong video earlier

(You probably already know this but I’m going to say it anyway) 24:22 looking at the reference photo, the green seems to need just a touch of yellow to make it match the photo color. Idk if this is any help.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, because like why would she use the dark pink/corral where the light one is supposed to be?

Wow, manual cricut... that looks so painstaking. Non compatible software is a bummer! Crazy how sewing can involve so much technology

Not a fan of the camera angle, watching you talk from the side...looking off as if into space. and the bouncing back and forth, back and forth. It feels very disruptive and herkyjerky. But I do love the project!

It is actually a bit harder to find usb ports on some commercial computers now. It seems like there's been an industry move towards only using the cloud for storage & companies making it harder to physically own move your digital files around. I've had several hardware failures with different types of ports where I buy an interface for my camera's info card use it just fine once & the computer never recognizes it again. Even using the safely remove hardware thing. The software just magically disappears during updates & there is no where online you get it again. It's beyond frustrating because I've tried 3 or 4 different things & now I worry that the next software to disappear is the cameras. As it stands now I have to use an hdmi cord to move my files to the computer. Random rant about companies & intentional obsoletion over.

Cricut should sponsor you. They sponsor so many creators who don't have anything as relevant to their brand going on as you do. I don't need to see another booktuber make a label when you are so much more artistic and creative

Nothing wrong with old fashion tenacity. Should the web crash, tenacity will help you prosper

Wait 2015! You're telling me I have been telling myself "I should watch this movie and it seems really good" for 7 years and never did. Well this is embarassing😬 (I am so bad at watching movie I always end up watching the same movies over and over again)

Sorry not a fan of all the camera angles. It's very jarring seeing you talking off to the side.

You are not snorting that dye, theres no need to use a mask 🙄

There is also the blue leaves that is a bit darker than the background too on the bottom of the skirt. I am willing to bet they printed it all at once with a machine. They probably used a white fabric originally and that is why the colors pop more on the original.
