Making A New Dress From 2 Old Dresses! Thrifted Transformations

[@carolannhook554]

This is probably one of my favorite dresses/designs that you've made! It's so beautiful and elegant! Love it!

[@anonymouse7078]

I was going to say the exact same thing. Definitely my favorite dress you've ever made. So super gorgeous! Absolutely love it!!!

[@charitymersereau4982]

Yes!!! This and the denim dress she made years ago posted on insta 2018

[@rosegreensummer]

friend turns up to your wedding in something they bought in a thrift store and sewed in the car and still looks more put together than everyone there :)

[@sarahg2721]

You looked so glamorous, ankle brace and all! This might be my favourite of all the dresses you’ve designed 😻

[@lindap9079]

Thank you for taking us through your thought/ design process. I appreciate that you include your mistakes and how you remedy them. That is very helpful information to know.

[@deborahooi6856]

Creating a whole new dress with a right slit because you have a sprained left ankle is such a talented flex 😍 love the outcome!

[@marikotrue3488]

Thrifting can be so exciting. Finding something "with good bones" that just needs some help to join the 21st century makes me so happy. Would love to see more videos like this (when the ankle stabilizes) from a combo of 2 or 3 garments.

[@ladyhawc03]

The dress is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it w/us.

[@shelbywilson6842]

So gorgeous!!!! Just finished this semester of school, was just about to start sewing again.

[@Ethnography1000]

Reminds me of travelling to my brother’s wedding with three kids in the car and hand sewing the finishing touches to my dress - when needs must! Slainte!

[@kathleenchang9206]

Dang girl, you look gorgeous! Lot of work involved in making this fabulous gown. You have a great eye when it comes to picking up items at resale shops to recreate stunning fashions from.

[@atelieralumine]

It's beautiful! Nice trick with suppressing the darts in lace! Thank you for the video

[@xxx-il9dv]

This dress could easily sell for thousands at a high end boutique!

[@XOLB1]

Just watched the 'upcycle nation.' 2ND episode. Nice job. Congratulations for being on the show.

[@irisf.9355]

Beautiful dress! Your talent is mind boggling!!

[@wendyschlegel5031]

You looked so beautiful at the wedding! Great job on the dress. It is stunning. Sorry to hear about your sprained ankle, but glad you're doing much better.

[@cheriethompson7725]

The dress really looks beautiful. You did an awesome job.

[@reneepeffer]

Wow, you look so beautiful. The dress turned out so well. I can't believe all the steps it took, but it looks great. You have an envious talent. I can't even cut a straight line! Thanks for sharing.

[@ariellecanlas5794]

I just wanted to let you know, you are my favorite sewing channel. You’ve given me so much inspiration for my cosplays/costume designs with a couture flair ❤️ Your videos helped me fall in love with this hobby, therefore improving my happiness/mental health, and I have you to thank for that!! Keep doing what you’re doing(:

[@lalapachou]

The final dress is gorgeous❤ It's inspiring to watch the transformation from thrifted dresses to finished classy gown.

[@lynniev]

Absolutely beautiful end product! Well done, as always!

[@Happy_life117]

You did an awesome job recreating two dresses into one. You are very skilled and talented. You looked amazing in that dress 🤩

[@jamiejones8508]

Even more inspiring that you highlighted a mistake you made. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’d do so great to see how you can make a beautiful dress without being a robot!

[@GabbyGaburieru]

loving the one shoulder with the lace that's BEAUTIFUL!

[@cmtreez1954]

I like it because she also shows the mistakes she makes. That is very helpful when trying to imitate something she has made.

[@foofyastralpunk5875]

I love that dusty silver mauve color it is really beautiful against your skin and in the sunset pictures. You really did a great job turning 2 dresses into one.

[@lindarosenthal6835]

So cute. Love the lace bodice.

[@christinej2358]

You just amaze me with your creative talent of design. The dress was beautiful and you looked gorgeous.

[@1961suzieq]

[@janetleeharrison]

Gorgeous custom gown! Both you & hubby looked amazing!💜

[@aminahawa7237]

Oh my goodness you are absolutely amazing to be able to do this so freehand. You give me courage to take things apart confidently.

[@EmeraldP2]

Been following yr channel for a while now. I've re watched a lot of your videos many times and every time it's like the first. I always feel very inspired. You are amazingly talented & I cannot wait to be at that skill level. Watching from New Zealand. ❤

[@akiramiyashi]

The dress is beautiful!!!

[@rachellovesyarn9106]

Love the detail you included with the detail of the shape of the lace along the bodice top and bottom. Such detail that makes this so unique!! ❤️😍

[@elainejohnson2836]

You never cease to amaze me. The transformation is beautiful!

[@Boertje247]

Wow! So elegant and chic!

[@acahill4031]

Thank you so much. I just bought 2 dressed ones, same style and print, so i can make 1 that will fit me. I needed help getting started. Thank you so much.

[@patrycjazernik6814]

This dress turned out really pretty 🥰

[@mariefritz1]

The dress turned out beautiful great job

[@SamTheLamb19]

The only thing I would change is cutting the lining short. It’s something companies do to use less fabric and save money so it always makes the dress look cheaper. I normally hate one shoulder but it is gorgeous on this dress. I hope you had a good time at the wedding

[@sarahhenning5484]

She had to cut the lining because she made a slit dress

[@SamTheLamb19]

@@sarahhenning5484 not necessarily she could have just cut a slit in the lining too

[@sarahhenning5484]

@@SamTheLamb19 yes, I realized that afterwards

[@dawnmariereyes3734]

That dress is so beautiful

[@MrsTiffanyGrey]

Beautiful!

If it makes you feel better I tripped over one of by fur babies (cats) and have been in a boot for nearly 3 months as i damaged the ligaments on the top of my foot. Love your thrift transformation

[@nf4406]

Love the lace up side! After years of watching you and doing a couple thrifted transformations of my own recently, I finally bought some fabric and am going to try to make my own dress for a friend's wedding!!! And of course immediately went to your site to help with ideas on what to do haha
