[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Check out Stephanie's video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnjFY2uQbr9mr6s

[@jerrieanderson2245]

Love the orange outfit! The dots on the skirt are to die for!

[@davidhutchison3343]

My two favourite KZbin creators doing a collab. Cant get much better than this.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww yay! 😊

[@Cutondogor]

You two are having far too much fun together, and probably shouldn't be allowed out without supervision ... ... ... I am so jealous.

[@megmurray8233]

Is it really a challenge if it's more like friends hanging out than a competition? Too fun!

[@hailyframbach6589]

I've always loved the. "I'm broke but we want to hang out and get something cute challenge"! It keeps you sane on a tight budget.

[@TheMerchants]

Orange is her new color! Wow! Looks fabulous 😍🧡🧡🧡

[@BeyondtheHiggs]

I do steampunk and my favorite skirts come from thrift stores. One is a black very full skirt with trim and lace, probably a dance performance dress, and the other is also a full skirt that is by a designer brand but was pink. Otherwise it was perfect. I dyed it purple, and it happened to perfectly match my purple parasol. It's crazy what people discard and donate.

[@gabrielleseeley4117]

Great thrift challenge! So much fun 😊

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Two of my favorite gingers. Welcome to the other coast, Stephanie!!

[@AllTheHappySquirrels]

Yayayayayayay! The collab I didn't know I needed and I'm so glad it happened. And if y'all head near Olympia, please let me buy you a tasty beverage.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! It's funny - I know I'm close to Olympia, but I think I've maybe been there twice?

[@sewaldodiy]

Awesome I love the outfit she chose at the end!

[@Dianestitchcraftrelax]

This collab is fantastic ❤

[@jpendowski7503]

Came here from Stephanie’s channel. Had a blast seeing both of your outfits.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

same here..

[@brbz369]

The orange ensemble was my fave right from the get-go!

[@MeadowoodRanch]

A “weird dichotomy” describes this video too. Lots of fun. Glad you two could link up.

[@EnjoyingLifeMelanie]

When you held up the orange outfit I thought, nawww, but oh my goodness it was absolutely adorable. Good job.

[@noraleestone2859]

OMG! That was soooo much fun!! I haven't watched Stephanie's video yet. I'm going there next. I wondered, for a moment, if the orange polka dot skirt was reversible, but probably not. I loved the blue skirt and top combo. I wish Stephanie had tried it on for us. You gals have a wonderful friendship, and I wish you many years of sharing and having fun. See you next time. 😊😘🤗💖👍👋

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww thanks! I would have liked to see her try on the other outfits too, but I think she knew from the moment she saw it that she was going with the orange.

[@antiquesewist423]

Omg, as soon as Stephanie slipped that top over hear head I was like "Yeeesss" Orange is totally her color! ❤

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Right? I'm always surprised by how many people say they never do orange.

[@ReisigSeeds]

The skirt fits Stephanie like it was made for her! Brava, Lady! brava!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Right? It was perfect!

[@marciac.9634]

Absolutely a home run video.

[@mandyduvall]

Orange is not a color I could pull off, but it looks so good on Stephanie!! Great job!!

[@lilykatmoon4508]

What a fun video! I really love the orange outfit. It’s very lively. ❤

[@tammywarnr6009]

I loved seeing the two of you collab on this as I subscribe to both of your channels. Both outfits are rock stars IMO!

[@frankieamsden7918]

The belt with silver animals on it would be perfect for an Animal Kingdom outfit

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Very true!

[@MaryWehmeier]

Jeans

[@leannetrotter4414]

THE ORANGE 2 PIECE IS ALRIGHT !!!

[@horsenroundstudio]

That was so much fun--what a blast! Amazons take over the thrift store! :D I'm off to check out Stephanie's channel, because fellow tall-plus folks. Whee!

[@Lea-bw9wj]

The orange outfit looked good. It would be fun to see if you can find something from a second hand shop and rework it to something different. eg skirt to pants, or dress to skirt. Could also be fun to see you try to find something second hand and rework it into a vintage look or something

[@itamarmedeirosnetto]

I love them all, but the purple combo was my favorite.

[@jayneterry8701]

That would have worked for a true redhead. 👍 The blue outfit I was surprised when Stephanie held it up to herself as I thought it went well with her skin tone!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yeah, I found it interesting that she doesn't do light blue, but then again, I'm probably biased as that's one of my favorite colors!

[@cassandralyris4918]

I love these outfits! It'd be so much fun to go with one day. You're right about Washington prices though, WHEW! Prices are getting to be like that in Phoenix but I know a lot of the small places in my town.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Tbh, I tend to only shop at value village because they have the best plus size selection. But I think the other places are probably pretty comparable in price here unfortunately.

[@LinniuesLinens]

So cute! I love the color, and it's super inspiring to go try something new from the thrift store. Not that I need more reasons to go thrifting... 😆

[@VickiLovell-g5f]

Love your outfits. So fun.

[@Bexinmo]

I hope you grabbed that "Florida approved" dress too. It had such a good look and just needed a little fixy on the size.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

We didn't. We were both going for things that wouldn't need alterations.

[@vickismallwood2082]

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT you rocked it Rebecca. My favorite two girls are friends yes.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! 😊

[@BYBabbra]

Fantastic orange outfit, the skirt is the best.

[@canucknancy4257]

What fun. That looks great!

[@karengoldie6801]

How fun! The orange outfit looks great on Stephanie. Well done.

[@liddybird3608]

Two fun redheads. I already watch both your channels and I greatly enjoyed this video with you both in it. And hers!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! 😊

[@theplussizecostumer]

You both looked like you had tons of fun. Awesome outfits.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! It was fun!

[@donnacullman4103]

Stephanie- you look great in orange!

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I have been watching Opera Singer Canada for months now. A drama queen after my own heart! I am not so concerned with making dresses as making and innovating ponchos from silk scarves or pillowcases. I have 3 sewing machines! I love dresses that are jumpers. I am following you since you are friends with Ms. Canada!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Welcome! 😊

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I love the outfit you picked for her so cute xx

[@DawnDavidson]

Yes! The orange outfit is great! I thought both of you got great stuff. It was so fun to see you two together! I have been watching you, Rebecca, for a couple of years now, but I only found Stephanie a couple months ago I think. Fun treat!

[@carrieb5401]

Happy to see yoi know eachother !

[@amandacostandine6026]

I'm crying over that Jessica London dress lol I need it. I'mma have to track that down online

[@aksez2u]

It was really pretty. I kept thinking, Stephanie, you SEW! You could take it in!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yeah, it was cute! I hope you can find it!

[@quicksilvertears921]

This was so fun. I was hoping she chose the orange!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! Part of me was hoping she wasn't, so I could have bought it! 😉

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I LOVE the orange outfit!!!

[@HockityPock]

The orange outfit was a stellar find but oh my god that purple skirt. I have a MIGHTY NEED.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I wish it had fit me! I tried it on afterwards, but it was just too slim around the hips for my style.

[@joycewinston4278]

Love that purple skirt!

[@angieeanes54]

Love this! I've challenged my sister to this mission!

[@ladym6738]

Loved you two girls.

[@netherfield2000]

The orange outfit looks good on you, Steph!

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

Seeing you two together definitely put a smile on my face!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Guys, this was AWESOME ! Enjoyed both videos ❤

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yay, thanks!

[@elizabethsloan3192]

Great outfits, both of you!

[@kida4star]

What cute finds! This was such a fun project.

[@TheGypsyVanners]

The orangebird!

[@SherBear88]

OMGOODNESS!! I’m SOOOOOOO jelly you guys got to hangout!! So much fun! Love you guys!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! We had fun together!

[@TealCheetah]

An excellent duo!

[@felixityw8194]

We mainly have small charity shops locally, and you have to aim for the correct ones. Eg i was having coffee with a friend and wanted sheets etc for mock up fabric. I went in 6 shops in that town and not a single sheet to be seen, they were like little boutiques!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh, I hate those types. We have those here too, but I never shop there.

[@gardeneroflight]

No squirreling away stuff for yourself?! I just could NOT do that. 🤔🤨😟 You ladies are awesome!

[@jeannegreeneyes1319]

Great fun video! 🤗

[@ladyduffield]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CHALLENGE!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww yay! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kathywiseman7944]

You both did good ❤️

[@shirliepriestley8761]

Great. To see u and your pal having so much fun😊

[@rd6203]

Orange polka dots yesss!

[@rd6203]

I need a belt with silver animals...

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I know where you can find one! 😉

[@rd6203]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions Might be a good excuse to head up WA way

[@MysteryMommy1]

Two of my favorite creators together!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww yay!

[@celiajean7093]

That's so cute! Well done 👏

[@GiraffeLoverJen]

You ladies are a hoot!

[@LynnS53]

Yay! two of my favorite people 😃

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww yay! 😊

[@BookCat18]

You should absolutely wear it with the overalls underneath because the yellowlegs with the print just kills😂😂😂

[@TealCheetah]

I hope the red/oranges floral dress came home with one of you.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Unfortunately it was way too big on both of us.

[@susanfantozzi4415]

Love the outfit!

[@deborahc398]

Loved this video and the orange outfit! I was my favorite, too. I wish I could have gone with you ladies - I'm 5' 10" and plus size, and am amazed at the cute things you found.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! I find that this value village is always pretty great on selection for plus size tops, but it was nice to find some dress and skirt options there this time too!

[@louiselund2419]

Love the collab

[@tracyclark6208]

You two are great together!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thanks! We had a lot of fun!

[@nadiasews]

found you from Stephanie's YT, subbed! So much fun, love the orange polka dot skirt! Wow! $20 doesn't go as far as it used to holy moly!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Welcome! And yeah, I feel like even just 4-5 years ago, $20 went way further at the thrift store!

[@karinkiltz5626]

Loved both outfits!

[@barbaramiller349]

A cute belt on the orange would look great!

[@jac_and_the_making_of]

Love both of the outfits! ❤

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

The orange is super cute! Plus the skirt has pockets! There is no Value Village where I live but there is a thrift store called Ecco Thrift which is very similar. The Goodwill is crazy expensive now, but there is a small thrift store connected with a hospice that is great.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Value village is the same as Savers, if you happen to have one of those, too.

[@marias8007]

That belt was cool

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

I love your thrift shopping for each other. Sadly, all the local thrifts in my area pour so much smelly softener in their clothing that never comes out no matter what I use. I can never wear them.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh no, that's such a shame!

[@pjp9383]

I saw someone in the comments on another video suggesting to soak garments from the thrift store in baking soda and water, and someone else suggesting vinegar and water soaks. They were talking about getting the more traditional "thrift store smell" out, rather than scented products, but maybe one of those techniques would still work?

[@howcanikeepfromsinging]

That's a fun challenge. Does the outfit get bonus points if it already has pockets? 😀

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Any outfit gets bonus points for pockets!

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kitter381]

This is my first video of either of you and I would LOVE to wear either of your shopping outfits. I havent even gotten to your shopped outfits yet. Did y'all make your dress and her overalls?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Welcome! Both of us actually bought the outfits we were wearing. I'm not sure where her overalls were from, but my dress is from Eshakti.

[@marytaddei4826]

I really enjoyed this video 😊😊 thank you

[@aimeeb6321]

I wish she had tried on the other two outfits just to see. Sometimes, as we all know, things look different on the hanger than on the body. The orange outfit is cute tho!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yep, it's true! But I think she knew right away she loved that orange outfit best.

[@sandrazboinski6473]

Fun, fun.

[@vernakg]

They took out the Value Village in this area WA 😮

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh no, really? Where in WA? They closed the two that used to be in Seattle, too.

[@vernakg]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions Vancouver near state route 500

[@TheMerchants]

Okay new subbie here and LOVE your vibe!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Aww thanks! And welcome! 😊

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

IT'S NOT TUESDAY OR SATURDAY!!! OMG STEPHANIE CANADA!!!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Haha, right? We compromised between our release times - a little late for her, and a little early for me.

[@katwitanruna]

You buy the raspberry dress and take in the bodice, cut off the skirt and gather it into the new bodice

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

It was tempting, but it would have been a lot of work.

[@rhondastory6825]

The outfit looks good

[@amierikke6225]

Now, you to need to switch this and Lady Rebecca needs to come down to Florida and see the prices there! In your rules for this collaboration challenge, could you alter the clothes? In my area, I don’t find many large size clothes at all. Also, Thrift store have been closing down around here last couple years.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I don't think we specified that we couldn't alter things, but we also wanted it wearable by the end of the video. And Stephanie and I met up at Disney World when I was there a couple years ago (she has a tiny cameo in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppm0ppihl7t4gs0), but we didn't have a chance to go thrifting there.

[@jessiebrown6084]

If you have red hair you have to embrace orange. It makes our hair pop.

[@kckazcoll1]

🤩

[@CharlotteFairchild]

Rebecca, are you going to Florida? Do you see DisneyWorld in your future?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I wish! Unfortunately that's unlikely to happen in the next couple years.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions I went in the early 1990s when I lived in Florida. People who live in Florida get a year long membership, sometimes. I have been to Vancouver, and no where else in that neck of the woods. I need to sew dresses. I have a few patterns. I have been sewing since I was 11 years old. I am happy with ponchos I make with pillowcases (fully lined, takes 4 minutes, 600 thread count, finished seams to begin with, and I cannot mess it up). I used to do really difficult patterns and since I was in an accident, I can cut out on a cardboard cutting mat on my high bed. I just hate if things are not perfect, so I don't like clothes I make so much. I thought if I watched you and Stephanie Canada I would cut something out and sew it, and I haven't. Perfectionists can make things if they aim for interesting and not for perfect. . . .maybe.

[@vanessaknight7129]

Very fun challenge

[@daedubois9428]

You two are such a good time!!! Edit: The Value Village near me has " discount days" or percent of discount by color of the tag/Day of the week. Is that a thing that all Value Village stores have- tag discount days?

[@aksez2u]

I think yes. I'm in Alaska and both the Value Village and Goodwill have discounts based on tag color. Those items disappear quickly, though!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yep! I actually wound up buying the blue skirt I had picked for her, which was on 50% off that day. I think I paid $2.50!

[@Avotts]

Oh my. Actual wearable.
