I Made a Traditional Swedish Folk Dress From My District (out of Ikea bags)

I'm so excited to share the traditional folk dress of my people! I managed to get historical fabrics and trims which are correct for my district's official dress. I'm going to explain my background research, share how I made the dress, and then take you with me to my hometown to wear it and show it off to the whole town!
Oh and...April Fools!

Your cat clearly knows how expensive the historical fabric you have was. That's why there was no sitting on the fabric

[@DaisyViktoria]

It's amazing how knowledgeable cats are about fabrics!

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

My cat loves those fabrics!!

[@ReneePowell]

This is the BEST. I hope you tagged your hometown’s social media accounts so they’d be sure to see your beautifully executed folk dress from the authentic Swedish fabrics.

[@lauraoergel6003]

"You dont even need any starch"🤣🤣🤣😍👏👏👏

[@emilysmith2784]

IKEA needs to hire you for their marketing team or for making staff uniforms lol

[@infamoussphere7228]

oh man if they made us wear the bags I would absolutely die, I already feel like I'm drowning in sweat wearing poly cotton pants D: They did have those Ikea bucket hats made out of the bag fabric. I assumed that nobody would want them, cause I thought they were hideous, but they sold out incredibly quickly.

[@ushere5791]

i realize that those high-end luxury antique fabrics are so high quality and so tightly woven that they just don't fray, but still--this is some serious skill!! it's amazing that you got something that stiff to fit you that perfectly, and the result is surprisingly flattering given how stiff the textile is. wow!!

[@ushere5791]

(of course, when you emerged butterfly-like from the tent, i thought to myself: that skirt is as big as that tent.) :}

[@DaisyViktoria]

Thank you so much! It is indeed a marvel to have a tent the same size as your dress!

[@ushere5791]

@@DaisyViktoria lol!! XD

[@YoungBowieLover]

I made a Halloween costume out of this same "historical fabric", but mine was far more simple in design. I commend you for choosing a historically accurate garment! Honestly I love the heck out of you for working on this!

[@stephaniew2545]

I'm digging the April fool's content today 😀❤️

[@DaisyViktoria]

It's a foolishly good time!

[@SewBiased]

The Swedish chef part literally had me spit my tea across the room!

Glad to do my part to help hydrate the room!

It took me way to long for me figure out this was an April Fools video

Miss Kitty does a very convincing job of being my cat!

[@beatriceandersson7810]

People must have thought you were the new Ikea mascot 😄

[@DaisyViktoria]

I was very popular!

[@jasmineh706]

A cute Swedish girl should LITERALLY be IKEA’s mascot 🤗

[@cynthiadugan858]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You are the queen of April 1st. All the wrestling with the precious blue fabric for a hometown visit🤣🤣🤣🤣. So good.

[@DaisyViktoria]

It was well worth the fabric struggle for this amazing visit home!

[@infamoussphere7228]

As someone who works in your district, I was thoroughly entertained! And here was I congratulating myself for making a shirtdress out of an ex display children's quilt cover to wear to the work Christmas party (most people didn't notice, except my colleague who worked in Children's, who thought it was brilliant.) It is, however, a bit more wearable - that historical polypropylene doesn't breathe too well.

[@malingoldmantsubarah3001]

April, April. Jag kan lura dig vart jag vill!! Haha! Love this 1st April fools prank 😍Really clever. Now I will go and put on my Folkdrakt from Rättvik, Dalarna 💕 All the best from Sweden. Really enjoy your creative corner of KZbin!!!!

[@AnnieDelphine1990]

This is AWESOME!!! 😂 Thank you so much for the laughs 😃 Sending you love from sunny Switzerland 🇨🇭😃

[@elineruys9022]

You nailed the overvoice comments! 😂 'respect the historical fabric' 🤣

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

That was great! What were people's reactions like? And how uncomfortable was it to wear?

[@DaisyViktoria]

People loved it! There's so much appreciation for truly authentic traditional dress. The fabric is a little warm and doesn't breathe well, I can tell how it was designed for a colder time.

[@McNerdyCostumesandProps]

Oh my goodness, I love it so so much!!! What an amazing, authentic experience and gorgeous final result. You’ve made some gorgeous and amazing things but this is definitely one of my favorites 😂

[@DaisyViktoria]

Thank you so much! It was such a joy to work with this delicate historical textile.

[@OddlyElly]

Brilliant! I'm 1/4 Swedish and love seeing our traditional dress represented so well! Definitely need to make myself some 😂 Swedish cooking is really under appreciated 😔 takes much practice and skill to execute properly 😜 Those clogs are adorable 😍 where'd you get them?

[@DaisyViktoria]

Yes, this style is so great to show off that heritage! Our cooking takes the utmost of focus and practice to get all of those techniques down. I thrifted the shoes at some point, a lucky find!

[@OddlyElly]

@@DaisyViktoria brilliant!!

[@arielh4878]

This is hilarious and gorgeously made

[@DaisyViktoria]

Thank you! It was a really fun project to explore this style and authenticity to the district!

[@mosthighlyintrovertedlady3319]

Okay but you are a genius. I love IKEA and folk dress! Who else could make those loves come together ♥

[@martinasimone4310]

You have clogs that,i adore.😄

[@DaisyViktoria]

They're so comfy!

[@j.whittingham5901]

Oh my goodness, the way you did this with such a straight face! :-D

[@mjlCrane]

This was so much fun! You are hilarious, but also the dress came out really cute! The Swedish chef bit made me snort lol

[@DaisyViktoria]

Thank you! So glad to provide a snort!

[@CaitlinBurke]

This is without a doubt among the very most delightful modern/history mashups I have ever seen, and I love it. No exclamation points - I am just sitting here holding my great love for this. The trick revealed at the end is the cherry on top. 👩🏻‍🍳💋

[@theanneapproach9071]

Oh my god! This is so great! And to find so much of that high end blue fabric! You are so lucky! Also, I felt the big cringe coming on when you did you were you were going. But then I just laughed out loud during the entire sequence. You made so much more out of this project than I ended up doing - creds to you!

[@DaisyViktoria]

It was such a lucky find! High end fabrics like these are so precious. Haha I'm so glad you enjoyed my hometown adventure! 💙😂💙

[@misss7777]

I actually got some Ikea advertising before your video😂😂😂

[@DaisyViktoria]

OMG that is PERFECT!

[@pattysherwood7091]

I am so glued and riveted to this video! I sew at my son’s woodworking/ auto body repair shop and I have lots of that blue fabric there. I am on fire watching you work with this fabric. I am surrounded by tempting machines, table saws, drill press, and tools which I think would be useful for cutting and assembling my sewing projects. ( one of my work tables is a 4x8 foot sheet of MDF sitting on a car lift. And two other work tables are simply plywood sheets screwed to large wooden rolling carts we used to use for stacking lumber.) I think it is so funny to blend these worlds but I’ve never really done the things I have imagined. You did a great job! Tarp of the Morning To Ya!

[@anna-carinroos1356]

Well done! Show this to IKEA Main office

[@ushere5791]

oh, this is just w-a-y beyond clever!! and i love it soooo hard!! :D xoxoxoxoxo

So good, after a really down day this video made me smile. Thank you.

[@DaisyViktoria]

Yay I'm so glad to bring the smiles, and I hope your day is uphill from here!! ❤️

[@KirieHimuro100]

I don’t want to admit how long it took me to realize you were being playful with your description of the fabric. Lol looks great.

[@christinew.4792]

So fun! What did people say to you in Ikea?

[@DaisyViktoria]

They loved it! There is so much appreciation for this authentic dress style and materials.

[@kleineanna13]

What's Swedish for glorious? Cause this video certainly is! I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the dress or by your ability to keep a straight face throughout. Such brilliance! Thank you!

jag förstår inte hur ingen har lämnat kommentarer till dig på svenska, eller är jag bara blind? Not to mention that cats are expert historians too on top of being skilled clothing evaluators I'm always in awe of the expensive fabrics youtubers are buying for their projects. PS i found the Swedish comments 🤣

It's my hometown charm!

[@infamoussphere7228]

as someone who may or may not work there, as long as you're not being disruptive or hassling us, we're pretty fine with people doing just about anything. You can eat in the store, you can let your kids play in the store, please put your rubbish in the bin though cause people leave it on the shelves, ugh. We're too busy folding up bits of cardboard and cramming them into bins or trying to find a place to fit an extra pallet of pillows to mind if someone's reenacting the Swedish chef in one of the roomsets

[@brigidscaldron]

How is the breathability with your historical super high end fabric? lol

[@mendamend]

Where is this ikea located

[@elisabethm9655]

In her district! It’s her Hometown 🤣

[@teresasimpson5143]

lmao Took me a few minutes to look at the date to realize what your "traditional" dress was all about.

[@WantedVisual]

Is it legal to have this much fun at an IKEA?

[@blktauna]

suberb!!!

[@polkadot8788]

What did the staff think of you? Lol

[@annbrookens945]

Your cheek must hurt from how firmly your tongue was tucked in there! I love the color of your "historical fabric" but it's not my favorite texture.

[@annbrookens945]

I just say, I cracked up laughing when you stood the dress up on it's own and sang the "song of your people" a la the Swedish Chef!

[@argusfleibeit1165]

You are kinda demented. Can we be pals? Just pen-pals is OK, if you are uncomfortable. Which I could understand. Perfectly. OK.
