This is SUCH a cool idea!!
I'm gonna show you how to take a kid's jean jacket and turn it into a strapless corset style top.
The Alexander Wang version is $400, which is cray.

You are officially my favorite DIYer on this app. So simple and adorable.

[@lestranged]

You could also do a lace-up back instead of zipper and then you can adjust the tightness by how tight you lace it. Just need grommets & a long shoelace

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Yea for sure. As long as you can set those grommets in really well or even use grommet tape instead, that would be great!

[@shanarablue339]

lestrange I did think possibly if you got ever so slightly sweaty that is going to hurt being on your side, your arm would brush the top of the zip , just a thought to consider . Great little number though I must say

[@crazyaussiepagan6220]

I would also get zip ties, use excess fabric to make boning casings and bone the bodice to make it more corset like and improve the shape.

[@katlady5000]

@@TheDIYDesigner When I read this comment Grommet tape with a pretty drapery rope came to mind.

[@katlady5000]

@@crazyaussiepagan6220 spiral steel boning should work here since the body needs to bend.

[@jillbuehler7154]

Great design. There is literally no end to what we can do with Denim. Thanks for sharing!

[@upcycledwear]

I absolutely love it. So many different ways to go and I am glad you showed us the basics.

[@hollym5873]

I agree the zipper would be better in the back or you could do hook and eyes under the front placket if you didn't want a zipper. Really cute and you rock that.

[@znycelondon5313]

Love it........ Thrifting is my go to for restyles. Zipper in back...... 🌹

[@Chiki_chick]

I’m not a DIY person ... but have gotten into watching the videos and love them ... this corset is so cute .... love it

[@ariesdunomes1911]

I love that I actually was searching for something to do with some old jeans and your idea was fabulous for the previous outfit I did thanks

[@whitneyaccobee8571]

Yasss Girl!! this is so adorable! I would love to make one. I will be so stylish this spring and fall!

[@melibow2003]

I'm totally trying this for myself & my daughter! Nice DIY!

[@katlady5000]

I love this and how you put the sweater underneath. Very cute.

[@constancebuckler7718]

So cute!! Totally LOVE the idea!!!💖

[@troyal9351]

I stumbled upon your channel “WOW”, I love your personality and your sense of humor!! 🤩🤩

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Tina Royal haha aw love you!! Thank you 😊

[@bjcarbo808]

I would try a pair of button fly men's or young men's jeans (I think it's the Levi 501's that are button fly. Button fly jeans also gets rid of the gaping problem that you had with the jacket) turn them upside down, belt loops would still be on the waist. Then at the top, instead of straight, you might want to consider, since you have all that length from the legs, sort of a halter or caged back, since you can use that excess for straps/ties. Depending on the woman's waist size, narrow fold a red bandana and run thru the belt loops when done, would be really cute!

[@chickyrosevalerio3609]

Such a brilliant idea. Now im gonna keep my old stuff for future diy fashion designs..😍😍😍😘

[@sherrylplekker3526]

The screaming took me out! 😂😂😂😂

[@TheDIYDesigner]

lol sorry!

[@Klindo57]

You are a hoot!! You are hilarious, cuz you say stuff out loud, that I'm thinking!! Thanks for making it all so fun!!! Love you lots!!

[@lisamcintyre2990]

It’s so cute. You are so talented.

[@mikecook8422]

Loved it,definitely will try it for my daughter.

[@beverlywilkinson8173]

This is awesome, you are so great with your diy's'. What would you suggest I do to change up a white jeans to make it original and fresh, I wore it once to a casual white party but as a plus size woman white pants are not my comfort zone, wanted to reinvent them to wear it in a different way. Can you do such a diy project please.

[@Romjen]

Newbie! I think I overdosed on your videos! Love you!❤❤❤ You make so much sense! ❤❤

[@TheDIYDesigner]

haha NEVERRRR ;)

[@futuredr.5986]

Yrrr I m addicted to this channel ❤️❤️

[@crazyaussiepagan6220]

I would get grommets and do either both sides as laced up or the back or front as laced up and even get some zip ties, make some boning casings to make the bodice shape a lot more form fitting.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

omg that would be amazing. I'd have to learn how to put in boning, I've never done that. But damn, that would be perfect.

[@sagilotus]

This is lovely ! I would have put a little inside button at the top get in and out in of the trough the front

[@nathaliaadrien4559]

I'm already borrowing 😂 1 of my little sister's jackets to do this, totally loved the result 👏👏😍

Phenomenal channel with great content and production value !!!Love love love your channel!You have impeccable taste and style as well as a charismatic personality!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thank you!

[@MsBrendaMcKitric]

Hi Orly....girl I love watching your DIY’s and really appreciate your especially doing lots of denim. This corset I do agree the zipper should go in the back. One thing I really would like to see is a denim shoe hack. I often try to search for a denim shoe that I really love, but 😏 never find anything I really love. Thanks A tru denim lover🥰

[@MizterMissile]

I have been wanting to make some denim shoes and I have been planning what to do. I see this comment is from 2 years ago, have you ever found anything, like DIY tutorial-wise, that you liked? Because i will probably try to make every type of shoe that I can (starting with thigh high denim boots bc they are 😍).

[@deneishadaguilar-foster6202]

I am not in any way shape or form a dressmaker, the same problem you recognize about putting the zipper in the back was the same thing that jumps out at me overall not bad. Make sure to post the redo if you do decide to do it again.

[@emidemi11]

Love it! When you do another please show us the tweaks you will make to the second one please!

[@angelj4100]

I love your channel!! ♡ I've lost a ton of weight and I can't seem to give up my old Jean jackets...until now!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

congratulations! and yea, this would be a great project for that,

[@nancycampbell8280]

I love it. Yes zipper in the back. Great job, as always😀

[@kellydonahue4529]

O. M. G.!!!!! I just came upon your channel after seeing the crystal ankle boots you designed. Now I can stop watching!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Kelly Donahue best compliment ever!! Thanks for watching mama 😊

Me too!! I've been trying to get back to work for the last 30 minutes! LOL

you are so creative and cute!!

[@lenisselippert1639]

I am newer to your channel so I am late weighing in. I love this DIY. I did it with an embroidered heart jacket and it turned out great! Thank you Orly.

[@ThelmaGrace1930]

Genius Orly! Okay, maybe not genius... but very clever! You look awesome in it!

[@lilbat7389]

I hv a black jean jacket that my bf dried by accident fits except the arms are too tight. Going to try

[@Alexalini]

Love the idea but I think you need the princess seams to give it a true corset effect! Very cool on you nonetheless

[@millionnena]

Everything you do is perfect

[@theresasimmons7000]

I was thinking that to do your DIYs maybe clothes from thrift store that can save some money I love your DIYs so unique and different just saw your Channel new subscriber

[@mist_oldskoolakatherollinr616]

Yes love it. Glad you said Zipper in the back.. Nuff love MisT aka the Rollin Raver xxxx

[@angelsmith4467]

I like it’s really cute but agree about the zipper in the back❤️

[@GIRLGOTLEGGS]

Good job! But I would be curious to see your version 2 also!!!

[@foxxybrown291]

Really cute and if you do make more you can embellish them so many ways xx

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Yea that's so true!!

[@elizabethbuckley7695]

So cool! I want to try!!

[@thebradoctor]

I think you did a great job. What about one side zipper? I have to try this!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

I think a zipper in the back was actually the way to go. This way you could adjust as much as needed without going lopsided. If you have the ability to re-inforce the denim, you could also put in some grommets and lace it up like a true corset.

[@irinamussya4616]

Великолепно! Творческий подход, обязательно попробую! Sumptuously! Creative approach, I will definitely try!

[@sarahdeason493]

I adore you ! This turned out well, but the wisdom of placing zipper in the back is now apparent ... BUT ... It did turn out friggin awesome !!! You R the cutest !!! Love what you do .. U are a great instructor and do not blah, blah blah to frustration ... N this is my last compliment for you today ... You personality & sense of humor is just so FUN !!! U R the BEST !!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

sarah deason oh my gosh you’re the best! Thank you so much! And yes... why didn’t i put the damn zipper in the back!!? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

@@TheDIYDesigner could you put zippers where the princess seams go? Then if they are unzipped the piece can be put on over head.

[@jennifernorman878]

U nail it for your first time.

[@TakieModnye]

Невероятно стильный корсет! БРАВО!!! 😀👍

Love this video

[@nikiehan6554]

Oh so pretty!! I like your work!!! Thanks

[@nancysimpson1405]

SO CUTE NOT SOMETHING I COULD WEAR I'M TOO BUSTY. I LOVEIT THOUGH

[@KanoiHoi]

Just came across your channel & love your content. Love this Tutorial. Agree with zip on the back or lace up. But since you’d like it slightly tighter, to even it out, I’d add a matching zipper on the opposite side seam.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thank you!

[@jennifersaville4332]

You could use the lace up strings in the back to tighten it up

[@roseladd6402]

🆒I wish I had one!!😁Good job!

[@jamesd137]

Omg A Gucci Marmont Belt Or A Hermès Belt Would Look So Great On This Outfit.😍

[@34rdd1]

Just found your channel...super super dope! Love ALL the inspiration. Happy 2020!

[@motherm8412]

Looks great And you're lipstick was good.

[@apadilla23]

You did awesome 👏!! Love it!!

[@Evanavarrete]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!! :) new subscriber. I am totally obsessed!!!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

haha thank you Eva!!

[@Minuet.of.Forest]

It looks very cute! 💖

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thank you! I think I'm going to tweak it a bit but I do like it!!

[@denasewell]

You can buy eyelet tab tape at the notions store (Joannes Fabric) and use leather boot lacing.If you just add the eyelet tape to the back, right on top when you lace it up like a real corset the fabric underneath the lacing kind of folds and gathers and is very forgiving.I would still do the zipper on the side ...the lacing ensures a perfect fit and looks cute ...I recommend black with brass eyelets you can make matching denim eyelet tabs just fray the edge s on 1 inch by 10 inch strips (depending on size for you it would be 7 inch strips the punch holes and add eyelets ...this detail is well worth the extra hour of work as it is classic and fits perfectly.

[@ellyzuidholland920]

AWESOME again!!!!!! 😘

[@jayerwin1025]

I bet you could do several videos on hack your scraps using buttons, bows, collars, zippers ets from your prior DIY videos. Mend, update, add applicates, soft jewelry and so much more.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

seriously! haha

[@danaslifejourneygathers3879]

Love it gonna try it ❤

[@sig9girl]

Fantastic job! If you make another one, my suggestion... go for the real corset look, put ribbon in the back. 😍

[@phollathach9999]

Love it👍🏼👍🏼

[@vivoyeur]

So now I'm convinced I should make one. I tried not to because of KK in the thumbnail but since it's so easy to make, how can I refuse? Thank you. 🙂

[@hildavta]

I feel like in the original there’s an elastic holding up the top. I dunno but it does look nice 👍

[@dianadivadiamond]

I'm in total agreement with you about the minor puckers in it. The back zipper would be best but a very great idea. I may put a strap that's removable too. Just my take on it.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Ugh I wanna remake it! I should just do it lol

[@miziQueEm]

I haven’t even finished watching the whole video but I’m off to get a cheap Jean jacket rn!!!!

[@cjBlue]

So cute !

[@sonypa4149]

Love your ideas! 😍😍😍😍

[@daciaronene]

I really like this diy! You did as you usually do, well. You did the grommet strips on a tee once, what about adding something like that to the back? I think it would be super cute! I wrote on your diy fringe jacket video about an off the shoulder jean jacket...hope you can give some insight to that creation.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Yea the grommet tape would've been really smart!

[@icewater4725]

I loved it!

[@nevinhelmy8239]

Love it. You are very creative , recycled clothes . Wow

[@soniatruong2090]

[@amydikeledidube9628]

Please do a tutorial for the skirt you are wearing. I have 3/4 denim shorts my boyfriend gave me that would work like magic

[@TheDIYDesigner]

I have on on the channel! Its no sew but could easily be sewn too

[@livingcolours90s31]

First video I see from you and omg you are hilarious 😆

[@TheDIYDesigner]

hahah thanks for watching!

[@opheliamurphy9516]

Love the tutorial. The belt is OMG fabulous!!!! Where did you find it?

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thrifted!

[@dianadivadiamond]

I love it but as you said the adjustments would be a better idea.

[@anneard1674]

sew thick part of what you cut off the back to the top cut line so it won't stretch out? Put zipper under buttons on front?

[@aliciacampos4361]

I thought it was really cute, I agree with you the open zipper in the back. I'm not a fan of the exposed zipper, But if you like go for it. I would also try it with one of those thick denim men shirts that have no stretch whatsoever but you might need to play in the bonning. just throwing ideas out. I like your diy.
