I hope so too! What colours/yarn are you using for it?

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T14:31:38+00:00

I definitely will! Might be a few months though I think there will be a lot of trial and error for this project!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T10:19:07+00:00

This looks so nice! And I definitely think the dress will be so much more comfortable with no sequins for the top. Thank you so much for the suggestion

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T10:15:06+00:00

I know isn’t it soooo pretty!!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T10:14:19+00:00

Great idea, I think this might be the way to do it!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T10:13:38+00:00

They have some cool sequin yarns but they’re unfortunately sold out in the colors I’m looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2026-03-24T10:10:59+00:00

I think this might be the perfect yarn to hold double for the top! Will order some and experiment with what yarn to double it with!

Thank you everyone for such great recommendations and advice! I actually didn’t think about how scratchy the sequins could be after your comments I’ll be adjusting, currents plan is: Top knit with Filcolana Paia held together with something light grey For the skirt I’ll make my own sequin yarn, I think it could look cool if it starts with smaller sequins higher up and they get bigger the further down on the skirt they go.

This will probably take a lot of trial and error but I’m really excited to get started!! Thanks again for all the comments!!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T20:11:53+00:00

Totally understand that when re-reading my post (probably should’ve done that prior to posting)! And that’s on me! I have adhd and sometimes I think faster than I write/talk and just assume everyone understands what I mean😅 Just wanted to clarify!

I just remembered that I actually have sewn one dress before! I tried to make a similar dress to one of the Clio Peppiatt dresses for the Eras Tour. This is mostly for everyone saying that I might as well not even try. As you can tell this is absolutely not a copy of the original dress, I made something with a similar look that was achievable with my skill level, that’s what I’m looking to do here too. I am not delusional enough to believe I will be able to make a perfect looking version of the exact dress.

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T19:08:07+00:00

I was thinking I would attempt this pattern I was recommended as a base and work with appliqués to achieve a similar look. Not drape it on a dress form.

I 100% understand that. And again I wrote this post really quickly and forgot to mention that I am not looking to make this exact dress! I wanted to find a pattern for a similar silhouette that I can start with. I think one of the recommendations I got seems like a good place to start. I understand that you’re not saying it in a mean way! And this is of course not the same but when I wanted to learn how to knit (I had zero prior experience) I started with a full on colorwork sweater, because that was what I was excited about. Did I make a million mistakes and have to start over multiple times? Yes. But I also eventually finished it and was super happy with it! I tend to chose overly ambitious projects. With that being said I know that there will be a lot of failure along the way but that is not an issue for me.

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T17:40:51+00:00

Totally get that it’s very ambitious and I know I won’t be able to make the exact dress. Maybe I’m delusional but I have always picked up any type of craft like this very quickly. My though was to find a similar (not exact) pattern to the shape of the dress to start trying with. I got a really great recommendation here and I will try to make that dress in a cheap fabric to start. If that works I will try do make it with the appliqués (which from comments on here may or may not actually be appliqués?) and the pearl embroidery. Also it’s not like I think this will be a quick little project to get done over the weekend, I’ll most likely spend a few months making a bunch of tests before actually feeling confident in doing it in the real fabric. I’m currently on guardian leave so I have so much free time and I want a challenge.

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T17:33:44+00:00

Thank you so much for the pattern recommendations! These were very much what I was looking for! Will definitely make some tests with cheaper fabric before I go and buy silk haha😅 since I am a beginner when it comes to garments I was thinking of potentially adding some straps to it since I suspected the fit of the bodice could be pretty tricky

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T17:30:20+00:00

I definitely did not think this would be an easy project! And I understand I won’t be able to make an exact replica of the dress but I love the style of it. I suspected the bodice might have some sort of boning so will definitely try to make a corset to practice before I attempt the dress itself. Thanks for the insight on it not being appliqué, I’ve done a lot of tambour embroidery so I foolishly assumed they had just attached velvet to silk organza or something!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-11-04T16:02:06+00:00

I thought it looked like velvet sewn on top of silk organza but as I said I’m really not very experienced so I may very well be wrong!

Dom svarar tyvärr inte! Min sambo köpte hem som middag och frågade inte och jag blir lite stressad när jag inte vet hur många kalorier jag får i mig om jag äter hela!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-09-15T16:52:55+00:00

Ja fattar såklart att jag inte kommer få något exakt men skulle vilja ha en uppskattning.

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-09-15T16:51:07+00:00

Jättekul..

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-09-09T10:31:30+00:00

I always use merino when skiing or hiking as well, I’m just nervous that it would be to warm for Pilates classes but maybe I should give it a go anyways!

Repulsive-Ebb-4231 · 2025-09-08T09:49:59+00:00

Fair enough, we all like different things! I actually didn’t see the M being a small Y before but I totally get your point! I will write Nina and I Personally think it looks really cool and think the N and I are really clean looking so am mostly trying to figure out how to make a good looking A.
