From UNWEARABLE to ADORABLE in 4 1/2 hours (and $15) | thrift flipping a too small dress

[@maybebre]

Hey everybody! I want to thank you guys SO much for alerting me about the language issue, but it is now fixed (apparently)! I was in Wicked when this video got posted so I had no idea lol!

[@sarahdendron]

Ooo I hope you enjoyed it! I was a hater not gonna lie but then my mom convinced me to see it and I loved it!

[@TruFlyFox]

I love the look of godets! It's so cute 😍

[@kalka1l]

This is such a cute modern modification! Thank you for the inspiration to refashion some of my existing closet.

[@nefertitimontoya]

It pairs so well with the long sleeve shirt you styled with it!!!

[@hannahmarie1921]

this dress is so stinking cute!! i cannot get over how well the fabrics match!! and the way you styled it is sooo 👀 those boots are amazing

[@madebymaryssa]

I like the combination of plaids you used. The white lines from the two plaids sort of match, while the dominant colours contrast, and the squares are of similar sizes. I see that you took the time to align the horizontal stripes of the plaids! The dress silhouette overall is very cute. If I had to pin an era to it, I'd say "1960s mod"? It works well layered with long sleeves and tights in cold weather, but looks like it will also be comfortable as a standalone dress in the summertime. I've heard "go-day", but "go-debt" is a totally understandable way to pronounce it. If someone knows enough sewing terms to know what a godet is, they should know what you mean. I can relate to working on a project in the middle of a family gathering! I've brought handsewing projects along specifically for that purpose even when I'm not on a time-crunch to finish, just to have something to do with my hands. Ginger, brown sugar, and molasses are so great for adding gingerbread flavour. Cozy and delicious.

[@villagesteader3552]

It’s pronounced like ‘go day’. I love your energy! The dress turned out adorable❤.

[@gadgetgirl02]

Thank you! Came here to say that. Yeah, the language robots tend to mess up on words in English borrowed from other languages.

[@abaigealduda2756]

Never saw your work before, but the before and after have me SO excited!!!

[@abaigealduda2756]

That dress is the CUTEST!!!! It was absolutely worth it for you to put in the time on this. I've had this cute 60s style little garment in a size that I will never see again, but I really like the cut and pattern. I'm not confident enough to try to copy and resize it, but maybe I can do something like this? It was a thrift store buy years ago, so if it doesn't work, I guess it's ok. You look terrific in this dress. Thank you for providing examples of what might be possible with a little time and confidence. Absolutely going to follow you!!!

[@SafetyPinner]

This turned out so cute! I just added godets to my winter coat when I was repairing a tear and realized it was a big snug on me this year. Gotta get those spins!

[@mellie4174]

Holy crap that is so cute!

[@mvtonnemacher]

First time viewer! This is so inspiring and making me rethink my approach to my clothes! Attainable!!! Thank you :)

[@ItsHailey2468]

This is SO STINKIN CUTE!!!! Absolutely adore it, and can't believe it was a one day make!

[@kaitlinwebster2114]

the dress is so cute! the extra plaid fabric you added was perfect with the original dress fabric! the square sizes match up so well!

[@maybebre]

thank you! I can't believe how well they went together either!

[@estertorrevillas7528]

I love how you reworked the dress, so cute! Inspiring!

[@ellenc.1685]

You really are so talented! Love the dress you created. How wonderfully lucky your parents must feel when you shared that spiced chai tea with them❤

[@bdluejay]

glad you were able to fight off your cold. watching this while sipping some soup and hoping that my cold will end soon. dress looks so gorgeous!!! i loooove how the contrasting fabrics look, what an adorable garment

[@annastebelskyj580]

Flipping super cute, I'm going to have to remember this combo of shaping tricks.

[@winabagel2959]

Lol early watchers we are figuring out language of audio. I'm sure you will figure it out shortly! In the mean time, I'm getting a little Spanish practice in, jajaja!

[@maybebre]

LOL i think it's fixed now! but thank you for being patient!

[@SnickerFoodle]

That dress is so cute!! And the fit is amazing!! Holy crow, dude!!

[@laurenloertscher1319]

So cute!! Wonderful cozy video

[@lesleyharris525]

So cute, love the colours ❤

[@liav4102]

What a great project! Definitely has my wheels turning

[@mielunaria]

oh that turned out so good!! i have a little dress i found while thrifting thinking it'd fit me and uhh it does but oh boy so barely,, i really need to do something like this to it to be able to actually wear it comfortably 😅😅

[@SerendipityWyrd]

So cute! Great thrift flip!

[@mei.creates]

i did godets once when making a medieval hood and it was SO HARD!! i commend your skills and i adore the final product! (and the chai looks fantastic as well, i will definitely have to try making gingerbread chai myself!)

[@stitchwithbritt5922]

That dress is so cute🥰 I have a few thrifted shirts that don’t quite fit me right so maybe I will try altering them sometime💕

[@yonaanastasia2632]

The audible gasp when I saw the reveal, it’s so pretty! :D The dress is so cute and fun and you look amazing! 👏👏

[@maybebre]

omg thank you!

[@TunaSempaii]

Hello, Hi, just found your content. Love your vibe. Love your enthusiasm. Instantly new follower. You are so darling ☺️

[@lauramayer4896]

So cute!❤

[@allisonwerner567]

Super cute & very clever solution!

[@mandycollins8795]

That's beautiful!!

[@tashacano3324]

That came out really cute!

[@joanneredden6197]

Your dress turned out super cute! 😸

[@jessikaj.create]

So cute!!!! I love it ❤

[@Wistfulfaedream]

So glad the audio got fixed! This was a fantastic video. I've thrifted two dresses this year and both have slight fit issues to seeing you come up with a way to fix it was super inspiring. Have you ever done a corset laced back in a dress that won't close?

[@kaytiej8311]

So cute. An excellent idea for some favorite pieces that have shrunk!😊

[@AModNamedMel]

What a lovely dress!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

11:04 this dress is so cute!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I love chai. ❤

[@IAmCraftingAgain]

Always love your videos

[@CraftyLoops]

For some reason, I am getting a German voice over on my laptop, lol. I see some others are getting other languages. How strange. Lee :) EDIT: English is back after a refresh. Woowhoo!

[@maybebre]

PHEW glad it's working again!

[@aclownunpainted]

I totally thought the audio in French was a bit! Glad I checked the comments. I refreshed and it changed to English.

[@maybebre]

Still have NO clue what happened, glad it worked itself out apparently lol

[@oneandonlyailat]

if you do a lot of thrift flips, I find that using a tailors razor is the easiest/fastest way to get serged seams open. or at the very least, a seam ripper will help! Also, your boots are so cute!!! Where are they from?

[@abaigealduda2756]

What is a Tailors Razon???

[@oneandonlyailat]

@ not sure if that’s an official name but it’s like a razor blade that’s only sharp on one side, and you use it to easily open seams. I work as a tailor professionally and every shop i’ve ever worked in has these, but to be honest I really don’t know where to buy them🤔

[@carmenfringer4740]

Ohnoooo. You've become a victim of the alternate language thing... you sound interesting in french.

[@maybebre]

LOL it seems to be fixed now! thank you so much for letting me know!

[@AmyMLevy]

The end result is adorable, but I wasn't able to watch it in English (no option). The French was a little fast for me to follow, but then I could select English CC, so that worked.

[@bandanarathore]

Did you try settings - audio track option.

[@AmyMLevy]

@@bandanarathore Yep, that was the first thing I tried. At the time that I watched, I had 5 language choices and English wasn't one of them. I watch via web on a mac, if someone else has a different experience.

[@maybebre]

thank you SO much for letting me know, apparently there was some technical issue, seems to be fixed now though!

[@leelulady2010]

Godet in French rhymes with the English word Okay. (So "Go Day")

[@ZoeNycole]

When I watch it on my phone it’s in English but when I stream it to my tv it’s in French…what the heck😂😂

[@pamdavis40]

It is in French on my computer on English is not offered.

[@Maybenottaco]

@@pamdavis40 for me the options were german, portugese, italian or spanish lol

[@ReinaElizondo]

I changed my 'App Language' to English instead of default (under General Settings). The original audio seems to be working now, but I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

[@maybebre]

omg thank you guys so much for letting me know, no clue what happened, but seems to be fixed now!

[@ZoeNycole]

@@maybebre was still a good video, even if I couldn’t understand haha, glad it got sorted for you though!

[@atom.cats.garage]

well you and the dress look wonderful in the thumbnail! unfortunately i cant understand a word of the audio 🙃

[@maybebre]

LOL i have NO clue what happened, but it seems to be fixed now, thanks for telling me!

[@angryartist13]

For some reason the audio will not play in english on desktop, It auto plays in french and only offers audio in french, german, italian, portuguese, and spanish

[@maybebre]

thank you SO much for telling me, it seems to be fixed now!

[@Rosiebud82]

I'm confused as to why the recommended audio is french on my computer but english on my phone

[@maybebre]

I have NO idea what happened, but it seems to be fixed! Thanks for telling me!

[@abaigealduda2756]

Wait... and you are going to make something on the stove, too??
