Dress To Romper DIY | The Style Pile #12

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

p.s. PEOPLE WHO DON'T OWN A SEWING MACHINE - because this only involves a very small amount of sewing, you can do this DIY with hand-sewing too!

[@dannymengue]

Yay, cause my machine's needle broke today 😭

[@xrarelightx]

OMG that is the worse feeling. I have broken so many. I hope you can a buy new one soon.

[@Kay1234567Ray]

Annika Victoria could you please consider making the new Harley Quinn costume??

[@missnikkirainbow]

Watch Alexa Poletti's tutorial :)

[@A1Balling]

Jessica Tayloe sounds great since Halloween is coming up

[@jenniferwatrous1896]

I really appreciate you showing how the garment looks between each alteration step, it really helps illustrate the way the alterations change the fit. Thanks!

[@MeowMeowKapow]

I have a friend who said she wished she could make her own rompers. I linked her this video and said “I believe in you.”

[@Binchaloo]

I liked this video 7 years ago when it came out and was watching for entertainment only. Now I'm actually coming back to use the tutorial. Miss you dearly, thank you for always being there when I needed a tutorial. ❤

[@juliacapone2231]

Would you be interested in making a video about a petticoat or a tulle lining? I just love the way they make a dress or skirt flare out.

[@tradgothmiku]

good idea!

I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of how to posts about transforming dresses into rompers. This one is by far the clearest, simplest and most direct. Thank you!!!

[@rebeccaariola455]

Annika, I love the quality of your videos. You obviously take such time in making them good quality videos and content and I just wanted to make sure your work doesn't go unnoticed. You voice overs are always very articulated and your editing is always very good. I love the lines you draw over your actual lines so they show up better on camera. Also your transitions are very clean. Please keep up the hard work! Love your videos!!

[@bryonystorey8268]

Just used your tutorial to change my own dress into a jumpsuit, I'm much happier with it now and have a cute but simple outfit for summer🌞 thank you for uploading every video, it's inspired me to diy my clothes instead of just getting rid of them 💕

[@catnipwarrior]

I transformed my floor length, mormon-style dress into a romper and i love it so much!! thank you!!!

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Neena Chism you are so welcome ☺

[@valarieg6712]

Honestly, I don't watch your videos for the purpose of following along and doing these projects too. I watch them because I just really like you. You are so sweet and so talented and I just want to watch where you go because you are doing so much and are so capable and good at teaching. I don't know. I just wanted to lift you up, I guess. I'm not crafty, I just like you and you are very talented and sweet. Good job on your life 👍😉😎

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Spanish and Dutch subtitles are now available! Thanks to +Marieke Verstappen and +Alma González for providing the translations!

[@piscesqueen101]

this dress/romper flattered your shape so nicely!!!! It looked wonderful!

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

ajalicious ☺️💕💕

[@crabdream_jpg9654]

if too tight around the legs (for dresses that are tight fitting) - open the seams on the side of each leg and sew the sides in and down to hem them- creating side slits

[@ierrose49]

I found an overall dress at a thrift shop and I have been wanting a pair of dungaroos but couldn't dream of finding one that fit my thighs. So I bought the dress and did something similar and they are now super cute and one of the few pairs that fit my body type. great video!

[@Baphometamine]

I love this video because not only did you show me how to do it but it allowed me to understand the purpose of what I was doing

[@nonbinarystarsystem]

How did you know this is exactly what I've been obsessively googling for the last few weeks? This is perfect, thank you!

[@caketin_thecloud3619]

I always buy dresses and never wear them but I love playsuits sOOO THIS IS PERFECT I'm trying it ASAP tysm Annika you're a star

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

caketinthecloud you're so welcome!

[@deathdropaldc4799]

I know I’m late, but I tried this and it actually worked! I’m so happy with how it turned out! I never thought I would be able to sew something like this, but you proved me wrong! Thanks ❤️

[@sewaldodiy]

Very cute fabric, I just made a bell sleeve dress in that similar print as well. :)

[@ambrosedreams]

I like the way that you laid this video out ---- taught us why you should cut it in certain shapes

[@shortneyx]

wowowow I've never done this because I thought it would be super complicated (having to remove the skirt, re-pattern into shorts, and re-attatch) but you made it so simple and I love you for it.

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

CourtneyAlice I saw some tutorials that did it that way, but I'm all about doing things that lazy way, haha.

[@MadSomeWhat]

gosh, i love every one of your videos! i always watch your new videos the same day they're uploaded! you're entertaining and you explain things in a way that's easy to pick up on. and your fashion sense is amazing and totally inspiring. basically you're one of my favorite humans

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

cloudgoth awwww man, thank you so much for this lovely comment! 💕

[@eleanorschille-hudson4338]

thank you for this! I did this to one of my sister's dresses yesterday. The legs of the shorts were initially too tight, but I added a strip of fabric between the front and back cutouts to add some ease and they look adorable!

[@stephanielecanard3323]

Omg ok this is the EXACT video that I needed! I've been going through some weight loss and I have a cheap Old Navy dress that would make a perfect romper!!!

[@TC-8789]

very cute, this looks like a good beginner DIY

[@jl9336]

Very cool, very helpful. Thank you!!

[@lisbethdc]

Amazing video, straight to the point and very explanatory.

[@colorofcrazy]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for months and couldn't find any KZbin videos about it.

[@DanaAndersen]

The intro is too relatable and i glance at the box in the bottom of my wardrobe every time i watch it

[@mikitrixx]

This is a great tutorial and was exactly what I was looking for to transform a dress I own into a romper. Thank you! :)

[@rachelrichards8970]

this is such a sweeeet idea, I love you annika xxx

[@bethdownie6431]

An add came up and I was almost going to skip but then remembered Annika needed it so I let it play. I feel good now😎😎

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Beth Downie ☺️👍 I appreciate it! Haha 💕

[@oldchannel-willbedeletedso7686]

Annika your hair looks so pretty!

[@AndreaS-lx8fp]

I tried this and it actually worked. Thank you

[@shellbug3100]

oh wow...u did a fabulous job on tht~and u feel like u did sumpn productive...win...win

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

Annika, do you know of a way to do the opposite? romper into dress?

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Jana Nico yes - watch my other tutorial on it that I mention in the video :)

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

okay! thanks lol i didn't get to watch this one yet and now i feel stupid

[@yourmom3653]

A couple years ago I got a simple nightgown that has such great fabric but I don't wear dresses anymore let along nightgowns. I just made another outfit for me to sleep in thanks to you 🥰🥰

[@lornawindsor7819]

I actually did this once and it made me so happy! FLORAL SHORTS FOR THE WIN!

[@craftsmampesic5364]

wow thank you for making this video . so great and simple for upcycling x

[@OwliSketches]

looks super cute and i love your hair color

[@tillytallyyy]

It turned out so cute! Also it seems pretty simple and easy! Looks like I have a project planned for me this weekend! :)

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Natalie Wilcox hooray!

[@alexisschini1858]

Could someone reply with the link of how to do this with a dress you pull over your head please? Thanks!

[@SecretFiri]

Hey, Annika, do you think you could do a tutorial for leggings?

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

working on it ;)

[@SecretFiri]

Yay! Thank you!

[@IzLoul]

OMG ! I'm looking for this type of diy from ages ! thank you so much

[@ClaireSophia]

Your romper is so cute! I love that you upcycled it from a dress, you have such a cute style

[@lesleyelizabeth158]

You look so adorable in rompers holy cow teach me your ways

[@alexthomas5766]

U r a genius idk why u don't have over 1 million subs FR THO

[@RebeccaFear]

So cute!! I have been thinking about doing something like this, but was afraid they would turn out wonky. Now I'll have to give it a try :)

[@yoshii2011xo]

I love those purple flower shorts

[@emmajsoprano]

i'm excited to try this but also kind of nervous bc i've never really tried sewing clothing before, but it seems easy enough. i just have to figure out how to do this with a dress that has a 2 layered skirt

[@thehiside]

I’m just glad I’m not the only one that has this pile😏

[@TheUltimiteVideoGirl]

omg i'm so excited for this!!! i've wanted a tutorial for something like this foreverrrrrr. and now i get to see my favorite DIYer make one :')

[@ashleewalsh8083]

I made this and it turned out amazing!!!!!

[@3-3-33]

This video was definitely needed. I've been wanting to do this for a while now

[@ChloeIsabeau]

Love the turn out if this DIY! I would love to see a version of this episode but with a maxi-dress to jumpsuit :)

[@k0mikaru]

I love your hair color! want it too!

[@amandastypul4399]

Thank you for this simple and clearly instructed video. I know exactly which dress I want to convert!

[@joanne.o6563]

thank you, because I live in Australia I need to up cycle my old clothes for summer and make them look cute

[@blackbird95913]

i absolutely love this!! would this method work if i wanted to turn a maxi dress into a jumpsuit as well? i can't imagine it would be too different.

[@HeyDanisaurus]

OMG I'm so doing this. I have a dress I don't wear anymore and love Rompers.

[@luatea3805]

same ^•w•^

[@Moshifyable]

Omg those shorts are so cute! also, ive been dying for a tutorial on this!! 💖✌

[@kaity2775]

Can you do this with a long dress to make a jumpsuit?

[@olivesfuhhhhh89]

so happy I finally started following your instagram! this is amazing as always! keep up the fantastic work! 💓

[@erinnelson3656]

I love it! But I always love your videos. ❤

[@dayglobetty]

This is so cute, I so want to try it - and I love your videos so much.

[@hannahadams5059]

Would this work with a maxi dress if I wanted to turn it into dungarees? Or would I have to take it apart a bit

[@blank4240]

I'd love to see a DIY hoodie! I haven't come across many tutorials. I have a big fleece blanket that's the size of a queen size bed that I want to turn into a functional hoodie but I haven't got a starting point

[@lottylottylotty]

Love your videos! So many inspirations! Do you have a diy here you make this dress you are wearing? ♡

[@DijahVu]

Is it possible to do this with a longer dress? Like taking a dress that reaches your ankles and doing the same thing but without making it shorter?

[@itsjmomo]

Sounds doable!

[@finnx8623]

You could probably just do what she did with her shorts but use a pair of pants that fit really well :)

[@DijahVu]

ItsJMomo Hayley Hartmann Thank you guys! I wanna try this soon.

[@finnx8623]

good luck!! :)

[@jessica-sm1nc]

oh girl you are STUNNING

[@mariaferrari5601]

Nice! Would’ve never figured that out on my own 😆 thank you! Now I’m interested in pocket placement & a how to 🤔

[@sharshey6035]

would this work on a dress made of stretchy fabric? I have ones that's made of a pretty sturdy jersey, which I bought from a school fair but ended up being too short. I either want to turn it into a two piece or a romper, but I just wanted to make sure that this would work before I go ahead and try it!

[@mayacecilieellingsen330]

Do you think this would work with a knee length swing dress? Id like to keep the length!

[@Tortilla136]

how can you make a regular dress/romper have the little slit in the middle like yours??? also is there any way to make a long skirt into baggy pants?

[@amandaworthy4547]

Ahhhh that's so freaking creative!!! 😍😍

[@itzameylin8133]

Amanda Worthy ikr?!

[@cheffolle]

Ahhh i wish i saw that before throwing away some dresses! i could wear rompers everyday, thank you so much!

[@wonderfullyag9579]

What do i do if my dress has a second layer/ petticoat? should i sew that too or just seam rip it out, it kinda serves no purpose other than to make the dress flare out, but its attached to the zipper so I'm scared if i seam rip it it will make the zipper detach in the back.

[@5ftLife]

Really love the print on this as well! Such a great channel 😁 👌🏻

[@rajieroo9476]

could you make something like a pajama set for spring?

[@elliebeery5686]

I've needed this for so long!

[@animemusicluver1]

I have a style pile in all my closets lol. All filled with different materials and tools.

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

i know this is maybe a bit weird but is there any way you would do a diy on cloth feminine menstrual pads? they are much better for the environment and would love to make some!!

[@99kiwifruit88]

Check out preciousstarspads on KZbin

[@Sabrina-zd3in]

So glad I found a video of you doing this because I literally don't trust anyone else to teach me xD

[@xxsonicfandomxx7587]

This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@paigeburlace172]

Would this work with a maxi dress, turning it into a jumpsuit?

[@oniria4276]

i think i'll try this! thank you for this

[@alissapurplebunnies5955]

hi! so i don't know if this is common or just like my body, but crotch-bunching happens for me on every romper i have ever worn- and many pairs pants and shorts, too. i have no idea what the cause is and how to fix it. is it just something that happens with rompers and i have to deal with it? or is there some sort of way i could customize my romper to make it not crotch-bunchy? my pairs of jeans that don't bunch at the crotch have much more in the back than the front, so that might be the key, but i don't know how i would translate that to when making the romper. thanks!

[@MakeDoAndRevamp]

Oh my gosh, you're lucky your style pile is not taking over all the space under your bed as well. Love that print on you!

[@IsMyToastDone]

It'd be great to have a video on how to turn a long baggy jumper into a cropped jumper! I have so many high waisted skirts and my jumpers always look the wrong shape with them

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

IsMyToastDone check out the style pile video on the embroidered cardigan - it should help out a little :)

[@alooxandra7049]

Now all you need are pockets...

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

aka_alex agree! ^_^ lucky I have a video on that too (shameless plug) ;)

[@NatashaEh]

yepppp pockets would make it perfect

[@ashleyfurrow4414]

Omg I didn’t even think of adding pockets 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@nolomouscheval2086]

I wanted to do this hut the dress i want to change has the cutest lace that goes goes into triangles at the bottom so i would have to cut it off , any ideas?

[@lauraryall3196]

I love your videos! they inspire me to keep sewing. would love you todo at tutorial on some.baby clothes 😃

[@rhythmictiger]

@ 3:05 - "Crotchale bulk" hahaha, had to pause so I could have a good laugh

[@jasminemitchell7270]

You always make the best things

[@sluggiechan5518]

Ahhhh! I started this project with a long dress but the zipper goes all the way down the front, I removed what I didn’t need and proceeded with the steps but now I can’t remove the “crotchal bulk” because the zipper is in the way :( I also thought about taking out the zipper and removing the bottom half completely to alter it but it’s a vintage piece and I don’t want to completely take it apart bc it’s so fragile... any ideas on what to do?

[@janabelokona3159]

I have a couple of short skirts and would like to make shorts. Now I know how. Thanks!))

[@mirxsee]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed :D

[@alexisvanauken2434]

could you do a tutorial on how to make a dress that's too tight around the shoulders/bust area fit more comfortably? the pain of falling in love with a $5 dress and not trying it on before getting it home is real.

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Lexi Olivia my next style pile video should help you! Watch this space ;)

[@alexisvanauken2434]

Yay!😁😃

[@CuteCakeRoblox]

Speaking from xperience lol

[@briannaabel8854]

Rhianna Harrop experience*

[@bethgroskreutz9590]

Could you show us how to make the shorts you used as your pattern in this video?

[@nenewini]

AA I love everything you do so much!!
