I’m so happy you made a maternity dress! I am 5 months pregnant and I have 2 wedding this summer and I can not find any formal dresses under $60 that I like!!!! Totally making me one now!

[@coolirpa]

Yay!!! Have so much fun :)

[@Shelbybellebeeflips]

I will! And I will let you know how it goes!

[@mirjanbouma]

Hey, friendly heads up: remember to either have enough seam to take it out or make the dress very close to the wedding, beause those bumps can trip you up and it'd be a shame if they don't fit at the day of. Just something to be aware of.

[@wisewillow7530]

ya, im not pregos but my cousin wife is ( until tomorrow, shes getting induced) and I wanted to get her a nice maternity dress but like plus size clothing maternity cloths are limited in style and colors and just look like ugle curtains made into shapless dresses. Plus the ones like this beautiful and nice are over 100$ so its ridiculous.

[@rawrxitsxrachael]

Just a heads up! Asos has a gorgeous maternity line with free shipping over $50 and free returns! I love their formal wear I just got my graduation dress from them!

[@hatorigirl1202]

It looks beautiful, and would also make a great maternity wedding dress. That festival vibe becomes a nice mother earth vibe in maternity.

[@coolirpa]

It definitely could be a wedding dress as well!

[@PoisonTheOgres]

Aww, she's so beautiful! The dress looks absolutely perfect on her, I love the way the lace frames the baby bump

[@coolirpa]

PoisonTheOgres I agree! Love it more on her than how it was before on me! Lol. Thank you ❤️

[@maxineuter3463]

That so sad..hope u get better soon

[@megm9963]

April I thought you were pregnant when you said "a little life update for you" in the beginning :D

[@coolirpa]

LOL..Everyone's over here getting pregnant, while i'm here breaking my foot :P

[@carolinechilders5850]

coolirpa hoping for a speedy recovery

[@megm9963]

anastasia smith I did :)

Ssaaammmeeeee

@@coolirpa when you get married ?

[@Smilebefine]

Beautiful transformation. I remember your alterations 2 years ago, this is soo much better, I think because of new layers of fabric, your design and more importantly because of glory of momma to be.❤️

[@Chachi160302]

The transformation was beautiful and the couple absolutely adorable

[@jinjarogers1711]

Lovely for Eric's bro and sis in law to have such a beautiful memory of her pre baby gorgeousness. I hope she safely delivered a healthy little niece or nephew for you and Eric to love on. Xo

[@diablablancanstexas]

absolutely beautiful. The pictures are going to be an incredible memory for their little family. Thank them for allowing us to be a part of that.

[@michaylalovitt2796]

Omg this dress is so cute 😍 my boyfriend and I aren't even close to ready for kids yet, but when I am at that point in my life, I hope I can have/make dresses and stuff that will look as cute as this!

[@coolirpa]

I'm sure you will :D If you see a cute secondhand dress that might have potential in the future, GET IT! I've kept this dress in my closet for 2 years waiting for the right moment :P

[@MicheleDoenges]

This is so pretty! I love how you took an old garment and made it maternity-friendly. How cool.

[@Mommamacnz]

What a stunning dress you made for Eddie's sister-in-law. And the reveal at the end with her and her partner is just wonderful. So sweet and loving.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Hope you heal up well and quickly! The dress is so stunning. I loved the lace cape on the original when you first showed us, so I'm glad it has a new life now.

[@laneyeckelberger9011]

I love this. Im so glad you did a maternity video because im pregnant and im looking for alternatives to buying an expensive prom dress. This is so helpful. Thank you!!

[@karenturbiner2753]

The dress is so beautiful, and so is the mama! The area you filmed outdoors is so pretty!

[@sweetpea32pj]

You are so talented. You have a real gift. Not only are you beautiful outside but inside too. I really like how you make all your family and friends look beautiful in your creations. You are gifted. ❤

[@asherduff8627]

Love how the new fabric so much better matches the original lace.

[@whataboutredlorry]

That lace overlay is so beautiful - really gorgeous cape shape. I would love to have a dress like that... in a different color. The ivory makes it look a bit like a wedding dress, perfect for a summer outdoor wedding.

[@katerinakrasova4293]

When I got the notification, I thought, that you are pregnant 😂

[@lauranatter9933]

SAAAAME!!!!!!

[@lwishec1479]

Me too 😂

[@zheahra]

Right. I was like when did that happen?

[@queenielouweekly3160]

Me too!

[@butterflyqueen9260]

Katerina Krasova same!

[@nightswondergirl]

The dress looks fantastic!

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Oh I loved that beige dress! I made some screenshots of it to recreate it. But you made a beautiful other dress out of it !

[@hazelpineapple3060]

she looks angelic in that dress

[@jinxadorahsnape]

That dress is amazing. She looks like a fertility goddess! You are so talented. Thank you for sharing and thank you even more for admitting your mistakes and how you corrected them.

[@ArbolAbril]

She looks like an angel! I remember the old dress & LOVED it and now I see this 😍😍 you’ve grown so much, like please never stop what you do!! You’re AMAZING 💖

[@SSECreator]

You could do reactions, watching old videos, tips & tricks, stories about when you started out, sketches of projects you'd like to try one day... there's so much.

[@saltlifegull4091]

Keep up the awesome work. DYI and transforming something old is where it's at! Great job.

[@chynnamaglio9891]

this dress looks stunning on her and the color makes her glow so much. absolutely love this look!

[@harpreetkaur4776]

Post a video on how to make a proper corset ?

[@meinkanta]

Harpreet Kaur Omg yes proper corsets are such a fun and rewarding project! Especially fun to learn a new skill working with busks, boning, and a real patterning challenge. I fully fully second this idea 😍

[@isabellescales3763]

I third this. I've been obsessed with corsets lately.

[@spidermiss2426]

I fourth this!!!!

[@lilyflower1440]

I fifth this!!

[@Annabananakaffekanna]

Sixth!!!!

[@hapyangl82]

This brought tears to my eyes. She looks so beautiful and classy. I'm definitely making this if I ever have a baby shower

[@iamwindchakra]

This is a beautiful, ethereal look. I loved the dress on you and now her as well!

[@luzcolon1316]

The end of this video was a lovely moment and I glad they shared it with us.

[@queenc8360]

Beautiful dress and great drone shots.

[@inaaustriagalo7454]

The dress is so beautiful. It made me cry! She is so beautiful! I hope Coolirpa, you can make more dresses for women of all shapes and sizes, especially for curvy girls. Love you girl! 💖

[@convalescence6ify]

The dress is amazing! They look so happy, congratulations to the happy couple!

[@amydieng6890]

I really want to know how you broke your foot. All the details please

[@lauranatter9933]

True...

[@eg6151]

Omg this actually is way better than I thought. The lighting was really good for the tone of the dress. It made it seem more soothing. I love you did a little montage for them, it's a good little memory. I wish I would've done a maternity shoot when I was pregnant 🙁

[@xxo8888]

So gorgeous! You are the inspiration to why I started sewing. I'm finally preggo afrer 10 yrs and I'm so doing this

[@michelelara5982]

yes! especially with knit stretchy fabric. i changed the needle & it made a huge difference.

[@amandag2053]

The montage at the end literally made me tear up. Beautiful job!

[@aliciacampos6506]

beautiful, your so right maternity dresses are super expensive. You did a bang up job as always. love it!

[@1225197695468]

Wow, the dress looks amazing, and she looks elegant and beautiful. Wonderful job!

[@dalynejohnson4242]

She looks so beautiful and that dress is gorgeous! Absolutely love!!

[@mypupismup]

WOW. Absolutely stunning. I’m blown away.

[@rubyf4389]

Amazing! I love seeing you use your talent! ❤️

[@PrinzessinDachi]

The dress is so pretty and the footage you got of them is so wonderful 😍❤

[@BahliPadma]

How beautiful! Great job on this one; thanks for the reminder to understitch the lining!

[@jordilatu856]

An awesome result for your first maternity dress!! It's so pretty, good job 😊

[@XxBroadwaygonnabexX]

This was awesome! I think since you’re going to have a lot of downtime with your broken foot you should go digging through your closet and see if you can revamp some already owned clothing. Diy with what you already have

[@NickiSchmicki]

XxBroadwaygonnabexX I agree! That would be awesome to go back to old projects and your own clothing and touch stuff up!

[@Saichen]

such a cute bump

[@missbrendaashley]

I love the dress but I love Nou even more !!! What a fantastic model!!! Well done by all!!!

[@SoItzNewNew]

Absolutely adorable!

[@amelianabors6130]

You are the most creative on all your project , you’re a genius 😍😍😍 It makes me want to start sawing again ! I enjoyed watching all your videos and all your creation ! You’re also very eloquent and so easy to follow the instructions on all your videos 😍😍😍

[@abbeyv4148]

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Also great drone footage!

[@kitkatf6292]

The way the lace drapes makes her look like an angel.

[@robinbrice1208]

What a lovely gift! And I hope that you recover quickly.

[@RajeswariMRao]

Wish you speedy recovery! Do some DIY videos on home decors using old stuff. So that you don't need to shop much :)

[@crochetjohanna]

Beautiful, congratulations;)

[@celticgypsychick]

The ending is so cuuute! I'm crying!

[@terrijuanette486]

I like it!! It celebrates the baby. Beautiful!

[@taiyaduncker8823]

By far the most stunning maternity dress!

[@Cincelia]

I love how beautiful you reinvented the dress! and congratulation!

[@breannamurphy7123]

I’d love to see you try some embroidery 💕

[@zoemorrison07]

This is absolutely beautiful! You’ve outdone yourself!!!

[@S.Waters.]

Awe... How absolutely beautiful and precious. 💓💓💓💓💓

[@madamethome5869]

You must have read my mind I was reviewing some of your videos and was going to ask about this dress. What a beautiful dress and the model film was so tender and expressive. So sorry that you hurt your leg prayers for you and get better soon.

[@lFishAndChipsl]

So pretty !! ❤ I wish you a speedy recovery April !

[@mandajones8052]

I'm so excited you made a maternity dress!!! This has just made my day!

[@coolirpa]

Thank you for watching Manda :D

[@sucikworld]

Omg the dress is so beautiful and elegant. Good job!

[@PaLueXiong]

Omggg, I've been following you for so long and I'm also expecting my 2nd child in 3 months. This is totally exciting! ❤❤❤

[@letsmakewishes]

What a beautiful dress!!! And beautiful model for the dress too. Also as a suggestion while your leg is healing, maybe a beginner series? Such as how to sew, how to start, etc? It can be done with scraps you have around the house so you don't have to shop around.

[@rubymimosa]

Oh that dress and your SIL look gorgeous!

[@Bumbeltz]

This turned out really well, great work!

[@coolirpa]

Thank you!

[@sarahogun6298]

would love a “boyfriend sews” video

[@canaelenebrown5410]

I would love to see more maternity diys! All maternity clothes are expensive and I'd love to see more alternatives.

[@florencepierce1864]

So beautiful, elegant, stylish & graceful, with the lace Cape playing off the fitted part of the dress, but also looks like it's super-comfy at the same time it's totally glam/elegant! - Wonderful, fun & informative video as always - Thanks again! - I loved the sweet reveal & the lovely energy between the expectant parents. - I'd also love to know where that portion of the video was shot. Incredibly beautiful.

[@TirzahTortilla]

So did so good!! the end bit when she where she was wearing the dress was so heart warming awww!!

[@lorenthusiast4902]

I'll be taking fashion and textile technology this coming August and your works are inspiring me alot! I hope to be just as creative as you are 🤗

[@darussianping61]

Amazing looks almost like wedding dress. Nice views with drone too.
