Hello, Ally-Chan! I am working on a dress for cosplay, but I want to make sure what I have is good and I should start getting out some scrap fabric.
Here is the link to the reference I made [link]
I have my fabric all set, and I just wanted to know that if I should use the base pieces for the dress part you had for you 2009 convention dress (Fit to my size, of course) without the straps, plus adding a second layer of skirt.
Thank you~~

Oh hello! This looks good so far from what I see esp if you don't have access to a mannequin. Here are some things I suggest:
1. There is cheap fabric they have in stores (Jo-Annes, Some Walmarts, etc) called Muslin. Muslin is a really cheap fabric you can buy, sometimes at 1 dollar a yard. If you are EVER unsure of a pattern and don't want to start cutting your nice fabric, i'd *REALLY* recommend that you make your outfit out of muslin first. This way you can make it, try it on, and then from there will be able to adjust your pattern.
2. This looks like a tier'd skirt. Making this is really easy and here is a way to save on fabric. You can use a base fabric (Ie muslin or whatever else you have)to make an under-skirt. No one will see the base because then you can take the tiers and sew them on to the base. This way you will have your:
- 2 base skirt pieces
- And essentially 2 (or however more) tier rectangle-ish pieces that you sew on.
(Does that make sense? I can draw it out for you if you'd like)
3. Strapless can be hard! sometimes it will sag and what not. What I recommend for you is to:
- subtract 1/2 inch to a full inch from your top measurement. (The one abve your bust)
- and subtract 1/2 inch to a full inch from your bust measurement. You can see how this will fit with the muslin prototype, and this way, it won't be super tight but it won't fall down.
- ALSO, make sure you :
- If you make your top bust measurement piece 1 piece cut your fabric on the bias.
- If you make your top bust measurement piece 2 pieces cut your fabric on the straight of grain.
( Again I can draw pictures / take pictures to explain further if needed)
Thats all I can think of for now, if you have construction questions and anything else feel free to contact me

Hello im trisha im young and wanting to start to sew clothing i'v drawn some of the clothes i want to create and i was hoping you could give me some advise or tips.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure thing 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
umm usually how long would it take you to make some thing? and do you know any sewing tips?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It really depends on what you're making. If its a simple design or something small like an accessory it could take anywhere from an hour to 3 - 4 hours.
Bigger projects obviously take much longer, for example, the business jacket I made took about a months time of work (Granted, we had to work slowly since it was class work)
I know a lot of sewing tips! But its hard to explain via text (so hopefully i'll be doing tutorials via video or photos in the fall)
for now though, I would really recommend finding something that you like in jo-annes / generic sewing store near you, and then purchasing the pattern / the fabrics you like, and read read read all the instructions on how to assemble the piece.
:< Sorry this isnt too much help, but if you go on and buy a patternand try to sew it / have problems or questions feel free to ask!

Aww well thank you!! I try really hard to make sure that they're fun and easy to follow.
I don't use that method of sewing anymore, but it works for people who don't have dress forms (Like me when I first started).
I really hope when I start doing video tutorials it will be even more fun and much more easier for people to follow. :3
You are welcome to bug me anytime ^^ <3
