EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Sorry, that's as coherent as I get! I'm so gonna show my cousin this eppy!
Yay, Colleen Atwood, Tim Burton movies, and DIY! All my favorites packed into one, lol.
Awesome episode! Love that dress, Corinne. And I've been so scared to try Rit Dye because I was sure I'd mess it up - but you explained it so well. Thanks!!
Guys -- this is so impressive. I love that the one guy who describes Colleen as a magician. That's exactly what I think of when I see her work in movies.
I adore this episode!! Thanks for posting it! I'll have to hit goodwill again sometime soon!
woah, will you help Will and I make some retro ruffled shirts for the wedding? Coach would be impressed.
awesome job! u guys rock so much.
purple is my fav color so i def love the victorian-inspired outfit. also, rob's diy is simple and cool.
wow that dress turned out amazing!
Sweet! I can't wait to see the movie and the DIY tips were super awesome.
I just stage managed Sweeney Todd at my school it was tons 'o' fun and I can't wait to see the movie!
I loved this episode!!
I love you guys you inspire me to create!!!
You did Sweeny Todd at school!?
Isn't it kind of inappropriate?
Anyway, thats really cool. :]
that was awsome
and to the persone that did Sweeney todd at their school thats awsome too and could u get in contact with me so i can do it at my school?
I love you guys! Interviewing the designer for sweeny todd? more like swoony todd *thanks*
Historic Costumes are my thing and Jonny Depp is gorgeous briliant, so yeah.. this was deffinatly a good episode.
The interview was GREAT. Where do you guys get these connections? I've interviewed some folks at museums before but I wouldn't know were to go to look for an email adress or something for a hollywood designer.
You two make this all look so easy... *envy*
Frikkin schweet!! I love the button up shirt a la sweeney todd. I think I will make one for my bro. thanks again you guys!!!
I loved this episode! NeoVictorian and Steampunk is my favorite style! I just wish that my sewing machine can do hems like that, but it can only do one stitch (cause my machine itself is practically victorian!)
(Johny Depp + Danny Elfman + Helena Bonham Carter + Collen Atwood) x Tim Burton = My favorite films ever :)
Great job on the outfit, Corinne. I simply loved it!
Sadly, Elfman wasn't on this one. :( But it was still awesome.
I miss Florida so much! The Sun Sentinel really brought me home. Nice job today, guys!
That was a FREAKIN' AMAZING show! Love the interview, love the creations! I love the purpletastic dress!
loved it XD
It would be great if you guys could find something to do with old towels. I have enough towels to....uh....I can't think of anything to compare it to XD
why not making an old towel into an apron? all you need is a needle, some tread and ribbon! it's easy ive done it plenty of times.
Can you knit? If you can, get the biggest, chunkiest needles you can get your hands on, and cut the towels into inch wide strips. Sew the strips together at the ends, knit them into mats for the bathroom floor!
or you can do the same but crochet it into a bag or something. or if you want to get really fancy turnsome good looking ones into a robe or toiletry caddy thing.
I love your site! Thanks for featuring Colleen Atwood, very informative. You guys are great.
really liked this episode...i really liked ur shirt with the white ruffles on the top corinne! v nice! also was wondering if you could maybe show me how to make a waistcoat...have been wanting to make one for ages and don't really know where to start....also, i kno you gave a tutorial before on the basics of knittin but was wonderin if you could do one on sumthin a bit more advanced.....? thanks a bunch, i love your show so much!
ash***
Ok Loved this episode!!!!!
WOOOOOOW. :D that would be an awesome dress to make my mom for christmas! :D thank you guys. i love you :)
Man that is freakin awesome. I wish I had your hands. I don't mean like cut them off, and keep them in a jar, but your hands are magical.
her hands are magical but, creepy much????
SO AWSOME!!!! THANKS !
WAY TO GO ON THE SPONCERS NOW WOW
lazy? lazy people would just buy their stuff instead of making it.
I cannot begin to express my ecstasy about this show. I want to be a professional costume designer, and I need all the advice I can get! Anyone know about other resources for that kind of stuff?
Hi, dorkasaurus - The Costumer's Manifesto is an amazing reference tool to get started. They have tons of links and info:
http://www.costumes.org/
Well done! Once again an informative inspiration.
Please give a nod to Mood, one of my favorite places in NYC! And now I can find them in LaLa Land!! Nice!

loved the dress corrine! Think you guys will make the DVD of Sweeny Todd? You never know...
And nice shirt Rob...just because it's not getting as much love as the dress.
I appreciated the clips with Tim Burton.
This woman is amazing. Mrs. Atwood is super. So I saw the movie yesterday (the opening) and it was wonderful. Helena's dresses were beautivful.
Never eat meat pies.
Wow. This is my favourite episode so far.
ditto
omg!!!!!!!! that was so awesome! best episode ever!! you two sould make a weekly episode on costuming! that would be the best because i love acting and dressing up so the more the BETTER!!!!!!!! oh, and merry christmas!!!!!
Yes... Please?
with cherrys on top
oh and this episode will odviously go on my ipod because you guys are awesome.
I can imagine there are some people out there saying that Threadheads sold themselves out by getting sponsorship from a major motion picture, but who cares! It's awesome and you guys are getting yourselves known EVERYWHERE! Good job! Especially since the show is barely a year old!!
Why can't your episodes be longer??? Why??? That one was awesome.
*squee*
Wow. Fantastical! I want that dress!
same here
Now to get around to that duct tape dress-form so I can get copying!
Watching this episode over and over again is the best! not only do we get a flippin shweet interview but, TWO diy ideas!!!!!!!!!!!! JACKPOT!!!!
AWESOME!!! Your SWEENEY TODD inspired episode just sold 2 more tickets to go see the film. I wasnt so sure what to expect, but your clips and interview w/ Colleen has swayed me to go check it out. Thanks Threadheads!!! -Steve
Don't you just love Johnny, I thought the costumes were amazing especially the glance at that pink striped suit. where could I find out how to sew properly if by chance you don't have a grandparent to teach you.
asldjfa COLLEEN ATWOOD!
She's one of my idols. I can't believe Thread Heads got to meet her! I am beyond jealousy.
I especially loved this episode. GJ, you guys!
awesome
Wow. Really nice, but do you guys know how to make a Sweeney Todd fashioned corset? If not do you have and websites that might help me with that?
I loved the outfits you guys made they were so cool

me and iggilious are going to make one of those smexy dresses. can't wait until it is done!
Awesome!! Awesome!! I love Sweeney Todd, that was sooo cool!!!!
Hi, huge fan of the show.
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and ThreadBanger is helping us, as consumers. I figured that ThreadBanger is a way to help a great deal with recycling and keeping this earth safe.
I wanted to pass on a link I found from some friends on my Facebook page with an fun little video you should think about linking or playing a part of in your next video.
http://www.storyofstuff.com/
It's a 20 minutes flash video about how the world is suffering from us as people - not only as consumers.
Hope you had a great Holiday and I look forward to some new how-tos!
EXCELLENT Episode, y'all! :D Keep up the good work! :D
I could look at costumes all day. Thank you!
THAT DRESS WAS BEAUTIMUS!!!...
ro is so hot
Damn, I want to see this so much, but I'm only 16 and no one I know over 21 wants to accomany me! AHHHHHH!
Awesome costume though, I so want to make that!
BY FAR my favorite episode you've ever done. I LOVE Colleen Atwood's work!!!!! I also love both of the DIY projects and can't wait to try them out but I'm absolutely in love with the victorian inspired corset gown. I never thought about using one of those hideous bridal petty's in such a creative way. That is one killer outfit!!!! Please, Please, Please do more episodes like this one!!!
aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwsssssssooooooooommmmmmmmmeeeeee
omg i loved this!!
muahahha i think that you should have an episode onyl about dresses because corrine's dress was UBER AWESOME!
That was SO cool!
Thanks for the vids guys! You are my INSPIRATION! lol
Now...if only I could get my sewing machine fixed...
OMG thank you so cool.
By the way, I TOTALLLY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT reccomend going to this movie. SOOOO GOOD!!!

Great ep. Very handy, can't wait to get back to my mom's and open my spanking new sew machine to try making some of this stuff
Wow. THis episode has me so excited that its hard for me not to start making my halloween costume 9 months in advance.LOL
Hey guys proms is coming up and all the prom dresses that I've looked at are expensive and they all look the same. Got any ideas for a unique, stylin prom dress?

I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet but I LoVe what you did with the clothes! The interview with Colleen is so awesome!
Hey there, I just joined this site and watched most of the videos, I love them. This episode, though, is my favorite so far, I love the costume at the end, it was so pretty. I'm really into victorian type clothing and was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to make a corset or something resembling one. :)
Oh my god I totally love the dress. I so wish i could find stuff like that here in my town. You do such great stuff.thanks....
What a crazy awesome dress! I would have never thought of it. love it :)
this is the best episode ever!
i love sweeney tood and coleen atwood and victorian clothes yay!
there should be another costume design or dress episode!
or just more vintage looking clothes episodes
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
I do this sort of thing all the time, gives me great ideas!!
This totally made my day. Sexy dress! Woot!
love that dress ^^ When my sewingmachine work again, I´m going wild to create my own victorian creactions!
bolindir.com
WOW!! I love the costumes, but I also completely adore Corinne's hairstyle during the dying process! Does anyone have any idea how to do it?
I totally want to try this! I'm going to make my jeans skinny, then bleach and dye them!
I am in awe. I seriously need to find a Goodwill around here...
yay my two fav things johnny depp and costumes!
This episode was AMAZING, thanx for showing a simple way to make a complex thing. (YAY for corsets!)
I LOVE JONNY DEPP
Who doesn't hun'?
I frequent thift shops, but I never would have thought to dye as wedding petticoat what a great idea. I love the dress and I agree there should be more costume episodes. I do sew myself, but I am always trying to find shortcuts to great victorian style dresses. I just love your idea for the dress. I think I will try it.
