Making A Flared Gored Skirt (Mermaid? Fishtail? Trumpet?)
Sequin jacket who? Next month! Don't ask me why I thought I had time to hand sequin an entire jacket the same month I had to make Victorian evening wear...I have a hard time understanding time and what can be achieved within certain limits of it.
Hopefully you don't mind learning about flared gored skirts this month instead! Thank you so much for your support ❤ Stay safe and take care!

MY SISTER DESIGNED THIS FABRIC! This makes me so happy, you have no idea, I'm sure she's going to love it too! It's too bad it didn't work out for this project...I bought some from MOOD, but it's a heavy weight jersey.
Tell her I think it's gorgeous! I only wish I had bought more of it silly me ✨
The Q&A got me the pattern info! As a woman who is very tall and needs to alter everything, anything to make that easier is clutch 😅
I love Cadbury mini eggs, too!!
Hi Bianca! I'm just popping in to wish you a great, safe weekend! I haven't watched this video yet but I will as I'm definitely going to make something like that only a little wider :) You take care girl and thanks for everything and thanks for being YOU!!
Thank you Tracy! ❤ Hope you have a great weekend as well!
I’d love to see the 30s version😍
Writing is absolutely self-care! You definitely should take that time if it's what keeps you sane. Not to mention, you deserve to spend time on something you love. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Amber!
Really enjoyed this, thank you Bianca!! Now back to that keyboard....I don't want to see you back here until you're ready. You deserve writing time ❤️ Take care. Sending best wishes from Down Under. 💚🌺🇦🇺🥰 PS I'm sure you'll get my sense of humour....🤪
Thank you Rhonda! ❤ Be back real soon, but my break has indeed been super renewing!
I’m not supposed to be buying fabric. Tonight I ordered some French Terry fir a sweatshirt and some gorgeous African Wax Print fabric 🤢
I wouldn't mind seeing this skirt make again. Perhaps use the lovely poplin fabric that could couldn't use this time? Enjoy your writing :oD
Thank you Luna!
Tbh I’m interested in whatever you make
I'm so glad that you took care of yourself and did some writing! And I wouldn't mind seing the circle skirt version of this in your channel - I really like to listen to you while doing some sewing myself 🤗
Thank you Linnea!
Also, yes, mini eggs are the best candy ever 😊
This is such perfect timing! My boyfriend bought a 1937 Buick and we want to dress up to do a photoshoot. I've been working on my fitting shell to turn it into a 30s style trumpet dress. This helps so much. Thank you!!!
Sounds fabulous! I just looked it up and the car looks sunning 😍 I think of any classic cars I'd want to have, it would have to be something 30's!
I wouldn't mind seeing another one on the main channel - maybe with a tapered and then flared pattern? Hmmm... though it seems like one might have issues walking if it's tapered too much?? I really enjoy when you talk about fabric choices, it's super helpful to someone who is new to sewing!! <3
Thank you Rachel! Too tapered and one quickly learns why things get called wiggle dresses indeed.
I think similar styles are perfectly fine! I'd love to see the 30's version too!
Thank you Clara!
You could definitely do an 8 gore version, and talk about how slimming in the pencil skirt then flaring it starting at a different height changes the look. We are getting the general thing early and we often get different chatter than the regular channel does.
Thanks Ulla! I've always got endless rambling chatter ready, that's for sure ha!
This was great! I hope you do a version of it on the main channel. There is always more to learn and seeing things more than once helps me see what I missed from the first time. I also liked how you spoke of the different fabrics and how you choose which one you will use and why. That helps me when I am fabric shopping. Loved the makeup this time too. Very flashy! I never realized that you cut your hair very short underneath in the back and left the crown area long. That must keep you much cooler in the summer. Thanks for doing this for us!!
Thank you Peggy! My favorite thing about having secretly shaved hair is that it takes much less time to curl it like this with a curling iron ;)
The poplin fabric is amazing! Where did you pick it up from?
Thank you, it was from Mood!
This dress made me realize how much I miss your vintage fantasy travelogue movies! I could just see it with cherry red accessories and a great hat! I also loved the long length on you. Sooo good. ❤️
Thank you Thea!
There are perks to registering as a retail business. Not only the sales tax break, but the ability to buy wholesale.
Love the eye-makeup mirroring the colors in your broach! Very fun. I wouldn't mind you doing another gored/fluted skirt on the main channel. You could make it out of that fun poplin but combine it with the side-zip skirt you also mentioned wanting to demonstrate.
Thank you Caitlin! The trouble with that poplin is I really prefer prints as dresses and skirts in solids for my wardrobe, so I wish I had bought just another half a yard! It's sold out now otherwise I'd snap up another yard 😅
Hey!! Have you been peaking at my list of things I want to make? How did you know I wanted to learn how to do gores and flares? This is so feminine. It's just the kind of twist on a classic skirt that makes it cool. Well done.
Thank you Amy!
