Hi guys,
I have never made anything with chainmail before, however I saw this really beautiful chainmail dress (pics attached) in a vintage store that I fell in love with. The price was way over my budget, so now im considering trying to make my own. Where should I start? What tools do I need? Do you guys think making something like this is possible for a beginner? I’m going to learn the basic patterns first. I really adore these dresses and I know it’s going to be a lot of work but honestly im excited to do this as my new project. I asked another website how many pieces i need and they said around 10,000, does that sound accurate? Im a very small girl, so i dont really know how much that changes. Is buying just a bunch of chainmail off amazon ok, or is there a specific place I should get it from? I have a lot of videos saved on how to make a shirt and stuff but I really want to replicate the bell sleeves and im not sure how to. any advice would be helpful. thank you so much!
