dascococosplay:So I’ve had a handful of people ask about the steps I took towards making my CLAMP ruffles so I decided to take some progress pictures. I basically cut the fuzz off of some 6 foot long pipecleaners (Hobby Lobby sells them), wrapped them together to make a super long pipecleaner, and then strung it through the end of my dress through the hem’s hole. One other thing I should mention is that I did have some 1inch horsehair braid already sewn into the end of the dress from 2014 but the weight of my skirt wasn’t enough to support the ruffle shape I wanted. Adding horse hair braid miiiiight help with structure but I’m almost certain you could copy this technique with just pipecleaners alone and it would look almost identical. I hope this helps everyone and if you have any other questions feel free to message me! -- source link
