Hey, Wendy
Hey, everyone
It's me Wendy today is a get ready with me video
Usually [get] ready with me is [makeup] and then at the end
I get changed, but this is going to be a little different
[I] have nothing to change into because today
I need to make my red carpet dress and then hopefully have time for hair and makeup
[I] think I'm going to make a dress that's it looks glamorous, but it's really easy
So if you ever need [to] look nancy for an event maybe you can keep this in mind if you're new here
Don't forget to hit subscribe, and I'll see you at [the] end on the red carpet for this dress
I think I'm going to follow something inspired by Elie saab
they had a recent collection with a lot of velvet on top as well as these big huge flowing skirts on the bottom and
leg slits, I'm going to start with a velvet bodysuit give it a round neck long sleeves and
Then a waist band also made a velvet to help blend the whole dress together and attach that waist band a giant big
Flowing skirt, I want to put an overlapping part in the front with some velvet Ribbon detail
And [that'll] give me a leg slit in the front so give this dress a lot of volume
There's just going to be a ton of folds on the dress
I'm going to have to work that out on the back of the bodysuit
I think I want to go with a low v-neck to make it a bit more glamorous
And to close off the waist band
[I] think I'm just going to go with having extra long Ribbon so that it can be tied together into a bow in the back
So then just to visualize the skirt what it's going to look like is a big black velvet Ribbon along the top
[two] velvet Ribbons along the sides and in between just tons of Gathered fabric after I grabbed all the
Materials for making this dress it came to $70, so I'm pretty pleased let's start with the bodysuit
I got 1.5 yards of stretch black velvet
And I followed a bodysuit tutorial that I had made in [the] past
To make a velvet bodysuit with a V-neck back if you want to see the bodysuit tutorial that I may
In the past I've put a link in the description for you
I actually followed everything very very similarly
the only difference was that when I was sealing than I called I started and ended the sealing process at the back at
The bottom of the V and that actually made things pretty easy, [okay] now
We're going to work on the skirt, and I also got a better marker because that last one was [really] bad
I'm gonna draw these three little ovals and what these are is if I was looking at the waist from
Above where these numbers are is the front side of the waist and then the other side obviously is the back I bought 5 yards
of printed Rayon
And [I] started by pinning the two ends to overlap in the front this leaves us with
tons of Fabric
Sticking out in the back and what we really want is everything to be gathered around tightly around the waist so to get there
What I'm going to do is pin and fold the fabric over and over back and forth
Gathering it all the way around the body so in some parts
I go back and forth layering over a couple of folds in some other parts
I'm going to Gather the fabric a little with some ruffling
I'm going to put all the gathering and the folding along the hips and along the back
That'll give the hips and the back some more volume and make sure that my tummy stays flat
I did a very loose hand stitch along the top edge to make sure everything was locked in place
And then it was ready to be touched to a velvet strip to make this velvet Ribbon
I cut a really long piece of velvet to be 5 inches Wide I
Folded it right sides together and sewed it along the top skinny Edge, and then all the way [down] a long edge
I flipped it inside out and sealed off that one loose end and that gets me a velvet Ribbon
I sold this Ribbon right sides together
Along the entire Top Edge of the skirt and so that way when I flip it up
It becomes the waistband like my plan to make this wrap skirt
I made sure that I left plenty of Ribbon on
Both ends of the skirt so that they could be wrapped around my waist and tied in the back
[I] tied it up around my waist and noted where they overlap and then to be honest
I just took a pair of scissors and Freehand cut a slit
Into the front so I cut a slit going down towards the left and a slit going down towards the right
I just cut it wide enough for my leg to show then I could finish off those two diagonal slit edges that I just created
I sewed that velvet Ribbon to the fabric and then I handle
Ends of the Ribbon by selling them to the backside of the waste Ribbon along the bottom I finished off the entire Edge by doing
Two straight stitches, so I folded in the fabric once and put down a straight stitch
Then I folded it over one more [time] and did another straight stitch right beside that first one doing it in two stitches helps it
to be a bit more crisp in my experience because if you're folding it in twice
And then sewing it all down with one straight stitch
You're going to have to iron it [a] little to help make sure it lies perfectly flat here's how the dress looks from the back
So there's so much fabric overlapping I could lift for you layer after layer after layer where it goes in and out
after all of this was done
I was in an intense rush
So I quickly put together all of [my] makeup my hair
My earrings and then it was off [to] the limo
The Red Carpet event was actually hosted by Buffer festival there were a lot of YouTube stars my friend
I [terrans] I actually was part of the media and I spotted him he has a video that captures all [the] different celebrities [that] he
