making dresses

who made your dress and how long did it take

[~+~Heya~+~]

I make my own dresses (-n- my sisters) The first one took about a month cuz I never worked on it but my yellow one took about a week -n- a half! I just started my sisters new one so she can wear it June 13.

kewl. mines take so forever cause i try to put to much design on it and then i have to sew it on so mines take awhile

My mom makes my dresses! I'm lucky! She can make my dresses in about 3 to 4 days but then again she's magic so she can do them overnight or 2 days!

Wow... overnight!!.. Talented... I've been trying to start mine since forever. I'm just not sure where to start.. and I keep changing my designs... now I'm wondering if I'll have enough jingles.

I'll get it done.. soon I hope..

My mom makes all my dresses. if she's really in the sewing mood, she can get it all done in about a day and half to two days. some take longer, but its all good because i love all my dresses. i usually put the jingles, its my one job in making my dresses! :)

[Roobz]

I make my own and if I work on it consistently I can get it done in 3-4 days...but when I got school and work take me bout a week...my next one will probably take a little longer because I want to take my time on it!

[SqUish]

Gawwwl yallz are fast usally it takes me like a month just cause i dunno somtimes i dont feel it ... and let it sit there .... but i say the longest part is sewing everythaaang down

:D THE FASTEST I MADE A DRESS WAS 8 HOURS. JUST DESIGNS ON THE TOP FRONT AND BACK. I GOT MY SEWING TALENT FROM MY GRAND MUM!!!!!!

[ndnkidz_5]

HUMMM well it all depends on when my fabric comes in.. a friend of mine is getting some of that crystal stain from Los Angels garment district. And some rhinestones too @ a good price per yard...! I have my desgns all done, just waiting on my material! After that I am, thinking if I work hard.......about a week.....for the dress...bead work to match~ well thats another story!

My mom makes mine too but she hates sewing!!! So I have to convince her to make them. She is amazing and sews them in a day or two. Usually I try to come up with the designs for applique, then she comes up with better ones! I am not very talented as far as color combos or sewing let alone applique. What would I do without my mom? I would have to dance naked or something and then there would be a thread about EAP7's Unfit Invisible Jingle Dress. That's one way to get the judges attention....

[hidatsachic24]

my very first jingle dress was sketched out by me and my momma did all the sewing...my first fancy shawl dress when i was toddler was put together by my great granny, my nana and my momma..
i didnt learn to how to sew a jingle dress until last month of highschool...even then had problems with jingles falling off my dress*rofl* so embarrassing*lmao*-becca

[MarthaFlysWithEagles]

What types of materials do you guys use in making your dresses. My mom usually makes mine but I want to start making them, I do all of my own beadwork and on my moccasins and jewelry but I am sorta lost on how to start making a dress. If anyone has any tips or sites that would be really helpful.
Thanks
