[mostjazzymom]

Beautiful!!! How did you connect the two elastic pieces once you pulled it through? Also, did you sew the elastic in place once you pulled it through?

[hotstuff0410]

@mostjazzymom to keep the elastic together just sew the two ends together :) and you wont need to sew the elastic in place... atleast i dont think :)

[NewDimensions42]

what size zipper should i get?



[micheia1]

what kind of fabric is that?

[9jagirl]

Please, can you tell me where you get the fabrics because I am learning how to sew but i dont know where to buy fabrics. thank you. if you can get me the address to the place, that will be great... thanks again in advance

[YenieD13]

i love how you didn't use a sewing machine ;)

[ColourfulSushi]

Question: If I wanted to use buttons instead of a zipper, would I have to cut the fabric longer than my actual measurements?

Also, if I wanted to mke the bottom of the dress poof out like some sort of ballgown look, how would I do that?

Please and thank you!

[mamasan19]

im sold after watching this, SUBSCRIBED!

[Unsia]

it was beautiful <3 good job

[videocrack246]

8 people showed up to their prom wearing exactly the same under $10 dollar Michelle Obama inaugural gown.

[mandwhy77]

I can't wait for summer! I want to make this dress... I think black with pink polka dots :-D

[toryroseiii]

for the thicker ladies , how many yards should i purchase im about the same size as dkmontoya4670 in the comment voted up?

[trimesha1]

how do you feed the elastic through the fabric

[MissMelyK]

I like your dress better than the one the first lady wore.

[Nadia0200]

I think i broke the like botton!

[jules4empresshershey]

AMAZING.. YOUR ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST DESIGNER.. THANKS

[maisydoll111]

your amazing at this im o young and youve inspired me to design clothes your michelle obama dress is so beautiful i love the clothes you do are you a fashion designer because you need a clothes line

[qochemist]

Do you do all your sewing by hand or are you using a sewing machine inbetween the segments?

[KanameShito]

that was an amazing job

[shiahian]

OMGosh girl, you are talented.

[princess4eva1193]

I really ike this dress. How many yards of falric should I purchase? I'm about the same size as you and i want to make my dress the same way but knee-length in black

[DiscountTrendsetter]

@princess4eva1193

It all depends on the width of the fabric. If you purchase a fabric that is between 45 to 60 inches wide, you probably can make the dress with a 1 1/2 yard of fabric, but I would purchased 2 yards to be on the safe side.

[MrsChelloJello]

@princess4eva1193 This dress would be beautiful in black and knee-length... That's a wonderful idea Can I use it? Haha

[princess4eva1193]

@MrsChelloJello lol of course!!

[trayfull5]

so cool

[Aiishana]

@brianb3000 its not a knock off, it's an inspiration. If it was a knock off it would look exactly like the actual dress. As artists, we are all inspired by different things, even other designs. I mean, how many basic white/egg shell gowns do we see with a sash? LOTS. I'm just saying.....

[shattick]

is this material elastic? it looks tht way

[mrsmcgeth]

i like this, seems simple, i want to try this one

[1234yoyofreak]

it's cool! even though it isn't an exact duplicate in so similar!

[brianb3000]

the a big non no NEVER KNOCKOFF A DESIGNERS CREATION and iam a designer and i disapprove of it

[SequoyahTree]

I love your dress

[desariec]

you are so creative! i wish i could do this.

[MrsPinkarella]

very nice!!! Thnx for sharing!!!

[sakurastar2]

Oh, wow, thank you! I'm going to try to make one now. You are very pretty, so that dress looks wonderful on you!

[qasl1234]

I think that dress would look lovely with sequins sewed to it. :)

[riversworker]

Absolutely great! I just stumbled onto your show and I love it already. Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial and instinctly knowing what we would ask. You have a great joyful spirit. Keep it up. God bless.

[ninajeanette2]

Its nice and on curvier girls we can yse a different colour.

Do you think you can teach us how to sew in the zipper on the dress and also i would LOVE to learn how to sew a wrap dress, u know the kind that u actually have to wrap around ur body...

[meztiza26]

hey that's pretty good congratulations!!! but i wonder how would that look on a big person like myself, and i say big cause i'm not your average size 12, but kudos to you girl. P.S. I love your personality

[cjohn116]

A size 12 is not big....???

[meztiza26]

y a ti kien te invito a este entierro....dejopen!!!!

[Sstirr]

no entiendo, qué es dejopen? ;D

[meztiza26]

mejor te dejo con la duda!!! pero so te interesa pues dilo muchas veces y ya que te canses me avisas!

[Sstirr]

aaa ya entiendo, que fue una respuesta a un senor digamos "juan" ;D Es que mi browser de red a veces mezcla los mensajes así que no vi tu primer mensaje :s ..y la única razón que ése "juan" tiene para decir una cosa tan ridícula es para causar polémica, eh? :) ..bueno! Ya he repetido dejopen varias veces y suena igualmente extraño ;D

[Sstirr]

que no lo encuentro en un diccionario tampoco :/

cómo me encanta el Castellano!! ...aunque no me vale hacer errores....

espero que tendría alguién que me corrigiera, y sin letras mayúsculas ;D

[meztiza26]

Y si en si la respuesta o el insulto no era para ti, sino para la persona que hiso el comentario ridiculo del tamaño del vestido. Y por lo que a la palabra se refiere no te preocupes es que lo que pasa que muchos de mis amigos nos gusta hablar al reves, y dejopen solo quiere decir P-e-n-d-e-j (creo que entiendes lo demas, y disculpa lo bulgar) =0)

[ga5a]

that looks good!

[12quillemall5321]

I made it for my barbie, when I was 11 years old. But I used better fabric. A recycled old dress of mine, from Barneys.

That Jason Wu dress looked like it was made out of chenille. I wouldn't even make a dress for my barbie out of chenille. Chenille is for bedspreads, and bath robes. I don't care if Wu bedazzled it with austrian crystals. It looked cheap.

[HelloImQuin]

for under ten dollar, that is one heck of a dress.

[DKMontoya4670]

It would help if we all had your wonderful figure. BUT, since I am one of the heavier and older folks, I'm wondering if this dress would still look so beautiful. I am 55 and weigh about 160 pounds on a 5'2" frame. Do you have any suggestions for we who are a bit "thicker" ? Thanks so much

[DiscountTrendsetter]

I think this dress would look lovely on you. The bottom of the dress is very loose so women of all sizes can wear it. You can also make the top a little looser so it will give you more room, add a scarf or jacket, and you will be ready to go.

[RazzyDiane]

Honestly it does not look exactly like her dress. Her dress had some doodads on it, plus the skirt was fuller. However, for less than ten bucks that dress looks pretty darn good. Do not forget to check out yard sales as well for supplies such as fabric, thread etc. Also, you might try and learn to knit. It is fun and it can be cheap if you know where to buy cheap needles and yarn...second hand stores and yard sales, and the clearance rack at Joann's fabrics and walmart.

[MosaicMaiden]

Wow! fantastic, this could easily save the day! I love it!

Many thanks!

[ANGELRXABLE]

[SkyWithBlue]

On a stretch fabric do you really need a zipper?

[DiscountTrendsetter]

Well,

You can actually get away with out using a zipper if you are using a stretch fabric. Just make sure you don't cut your fabric too short. You will be in trouble because you probably will not be able to get it over your head. You can also try adding elastic at the top of the dress instead of using the zipper. You just want to make sure either way you are able to pull the dress over your head and that the dress can slide down your body.

[TheBrassHole]

LOL You're a trip. Thanx for the great ideas in your videos. 5 stars from me. :)

[missu4u]

thanks

awesome job! what shoes would you wear...

[dsp7631]

I didn't like Michelles dress. It made her look bigger than she is. I like yours better with its clean simple lines. It flatters your figure well.

[xxJen29xx]

Thank you, I love your videos!!!

[anavywife28]

wow good job im gonna put on one of those lacey big things underneath the skirt to make the bottom flare like hers but you did an amazing job and it looks soo good on you, and im also gonna put some of those cotton balls on it like michelles and make mine red and make a black one too
