I've been sewing for 40 years and have even sewn professionally, and I still learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Awww, that makes me so happy! ☺️

[@diamondpearljones780]

I’m planning on recreating a new wardrobe this summer rather than shopping for one and I’m using ALL of your up cycling videos as inspiration. I thank God I found you

[@BlueprintDIY]

That’s awesome! I’d love to see it. Tag me or dm on Instagram. 👍🏾

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I've got to try this. Time to go shopping for a used long dress to make over. That new out fit looks so good on you. Plus, it looks as comfortable as you say it is. When you feel comfortable, and know you look good, you can think and work much better.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Exactly! Thank you 💕

[@inetagutauskiene4995]

Saw this video - run to buy a skirt or dress - found the exact skirt that was needed for this upsyckle. And now i want to kerp that skirt as it is 😁🙈 and trying to find the new one for the upcyckle 😃

[@foxyt556]

Love this. I'm 5ft 9 and all legs so these trousers are right up my street. Added to my project to do list 🙌🏾💜

[@ladychicfashion1961]

Omg! You've made a pretty DIY version of what I call "Palazzo Pants".👏 They are notorious for selling out quickly and can be rather expensive. Thank you Angelina for showing how to make this style of pants with a nice inexpensive oversized dress. WoW!👏🥰

[@xchrysantha]

I do not know why it has been so freaking hard for me to comprehend how the assembly of pants work. I find it so hard to imagine which seams are supposed to go where when I watch these tutorial videos, and I've been trying so hard for YEARS to find a good "skirt to pants" video that helps me get it. THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT DID IT. IT FINALLY CLICKED. OHMYGOSH. And now I feel so silly that I struggled so much to get it. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@justcasey6292]

i am short and plump and i am thrilled to try this!! they don't make them for super short girls either! Thank you so much for this video!!!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

You’re right. Glad to help!

[@silverbracelet6]

I did this to a bunch of dresses to turn them into rompers 👍🏽😄👍🏽

[@Bynggo]

Absolutely brilliant. Can’t stay and talk because I’m off to make pants 🧚🏻‍♀️💕💕💕

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dpr4820]

Flare leg, yes please!!!! The outfit turned out great. Will definitely keep my eye out for maxi skirts/dresses now. Great idea! TY, Angelina!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks ☺️

[@sylviag59]

This was gorgeous!! You wear it well❤️

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@sindys1856]

That's Brilliant. I have a few long dresses which I really wished were trouser suits. This is a great idea. Thank you

[@leighsirmans428]

Absolutely love these! I would definitely be interested in how to do flare leg pants!

[@dawnlawson3682]

Was searching KZbin just for this. I should have known to come straight to your channel. I knew it would be easy BUT with your instructing it has become SUPER easy.. Thank you.

[@EdelleBuenosAires]

Beautiful and it looks quite easy to make. Could you make a video of how to transform a halter maxi dress in a jumpsuit? Thanks!

[@BlueprintDIY]

I’ll see what I can find

[@stacyblow3420]

Beautiful! So glad you did the wide leg. Love the color too!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏾

[@annecoleman2785]

Great thinking

[@wow_icangetcraftytoo]

My brain couldn't make sense of it when you sewed the crotch seams, I couldn't see how that was going to become pants...and then you flattened it out the other way and BAM - pants. LOL As you can probably tell I am brand new to sewing and I've never attempted pants so this blew my mind a little bit

[@HairstylesbyCarol]

Wow! Wow! I love it I am a beginner in this sewing thing, and I love recreating my clothes and this is just my style. thank you!

[@sampleworks9432]

Win-win-win! Win on finding the dress to be upcycled! Win on pants being able to make long enough for you! And of course Win on being so freakin creative ❣️love it 🤓. Oh yeah, it looks fabulous too ❤️

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much Jacqui! I sure feel like I won with this one.

[@Ramona1164]

[@kanditeelucksingh5096]

Gonna turn a convertible maxi tube dress/skirt to this. THANKS FROM 🇹🇹

[@Honeytreasures]

Thank you!!! I have done a few maxi dress to pant creations before, just cutting up the middle and sewing, but I always get a baggy butt. Thank you for this!

[@Circey5519]

Thank you! I'm 5'9. This is a GREAT IDEA!

[@moccamecca5593]

I'm a thick lady at 5ft 10in..... Hard to find pants long enough but I do love to wear long boho skirts with usually shorts underneath or leggings... That absolutely gorgeous outfit my favorite color is green..... 😎

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Baltic Born is a brand of bridesmaid dresses. I know that because I had to buy one to be a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. This one was much prettier than ours! But it's even better now that you made it into pants and a top.

[@lisahannah3175]

I would love to see the flare too. Loved this! Thank you!

[@deidragraham3924]

Love how the pants came out ☺️

[@joymontague251]

Beautiful! Love the outfit and the green tea color.

[@spicybrown75]

Perfect outfit 😁👍🏽

[@Havardfam5]

Thank you for this tutorial! ❤

[@loissage3630]

So elegant!

[@momzilla9491]

Angelina, this is sooooooo exciting! I have had long dresses in my closest that are not in style, but because the material was so beautiful, I couldn't part with them. Now they will have new life! Also, I have been trying to find a lesson on how to make a Pants Pattern, using a "flexible ruler". Could ya, would ya, please, please, please, "pretty please"??? XOX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy, I’m so glad! I’m not a pattern maker so I don’t really know how to use the flexible ruler that way.

[@minettegrocott4018]

Love this diy, the pants look amazing. Will have to try this.

[@Fashionfiend]

Love this! Love you're braids. Thanks for the knot hack. ❤️💯👍🏾

[@BlueprintDIY]

😅 I’m sure she appreciates it all the more. Thank you 💕

[@boricuamom87]

I recently cut a dress and was doing a two piece thing and I don't like hiw the skirt looks on me so I thought to do pants. Thank you for this. You made this super easy. I'm going to do it tomorrow.

[@BlueprintDIY]

They are!

[@rosemareeturner1584]

Great work

[@retroredo9850]

Great idea! It's so hot in southern calif high desert here we retired before the drought, that I've been wearing light fabric dresses in cotton or light blends in summer.. No poly. I could do same. I wouldn't wear a crop but I'd use as trim on a tshirt. I'd even do floral pants!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yes, floral pants would be so rad!

[@vivianhamilton616]

Too cute for words!😍

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you 💕

[@nadiakrainska7002]

Woooow!!! What a great idea! Thank you 😍

Once again you deliver an inspiration, Angelina..!!👍🏾👏🏾 I have a long summer dress that I haven't worn much over the years. There is a definite possibility that I'll try this upcycle idea to create a new outfit from the dress!
