[@HelloSammyLou]

You've got SO much talent sweetie! I also love the fact you made this out of a bed sheet *high fives*

[@TheStitchess]

[@Ambern]

Wow, This is incredible! You can see how much effort and love went into making this dress, it really shows.. and it looks ADORABLE!

[@TheStitchess]

Aww thanks so much!!! 🥰🥰😍

[@ThistlesPins]

I lovelovelove the oldschool vibes so much, it's so pretty!

[@TheStitchess]

Old school is my absolute fav 😍

[@kamilareeder1493]

It looks like a brand dress :P and it reminds me of the type of dresses that were popping when I first discovered Lolita lol

[@melonbread3951]

I looks great 😍. It's a lil short but I have about 3 short lolita dresses and 3 lolita mini skirts that I wear all the time. This dress reminds me of baby the stars shine bright. 💙💙💙💙💙

[@TheStitchess]

I like my lolita dresses a little short 😈 I feel like my legs look weird if I don’t have a little thigh showing lol

[@styxman5o783]

You have the same body type as me! This is the first video of yours I've seen and I want to get into lolita. Seeing a video with my body type, and handmade, and from a bedsheet... My disabled, poor self is thrilled. Tysm

[@catalinaplaza7909]

Lolita dresses are each a challenge, you did a wonderful job 🎀

[@jessicaturck6529]

This reminds me of cinderellas ballgown and the gown she created mixed together 💗💎

[@TheStitchess]

The dress she made herself WAS pretty cute tbh

[@wannaknit]

I'm going to have a go - have ordered some fabric and lace

[@yDoy]

i find myself re watching all of your dress sewing videos, you’re content is just very inspiring. keep it up ^_^

[@Abyssal.jellyfish]

i made my first swen clothing peice out of sheets! I got then cheap second hand and turned it into a 2-layer skirt with lace. Your dress looks awesome!!

[@Bea_the_witch]

its giving me cinnamoroll vibes from sanrio super cute~

[@CheekySparkles]

This dress is stunning! You did such an amazing job 😱💕💖 I can’t believe it’s made out of a bed sheet that’s so cool!

[@TheStitchess]

Goodwill bedsheets as clothing for life ✌️

[@alexanderkurokawa8834]

impressive! the dress looks amazing and you cant imagine it once was a bedsheet!

[@skogsdocka]

This is amazing!! I love that you spent so little money on it but a lot of time to sew it. Inspiration! Aaand pockets! :D

[@TheStitchess]

Always pockets~

[@enchantedluna111]

Might have taken a month but I think it turned out beautiful and celestial :)

[@TheStitchess]

Oh my gosh you’re so nice 🥰

[@LALAMARTINEZV]

I just discovered your channel ❤️ I love your videos and especially the sewing tutorials, I hope you can continue doing Lolita tutorials, I am old school lolita / proto Lolita and it is very difficult to find diys that I like 😔

[@bunnie187]

This is astoundingly cute. ♡

[@khazermashkes2316]

I love the heart decals and front lacing!

[@ashleya6084]

You did an amazing job. You're so talented.

[@TheStitchess]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@adonna2000]

So cute! But isn't it too short?

[@wishtopublish]

THE POCKETS ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@TheStitchess]

ALWAYS POCKETS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@ChibiChanSan242]

This is so cute ! Nd the light blue is such a pretty color! Also the heart pockets 🤣🤣 love it

[@brittanyjennings4236]

I'm seeing my first JSK right now and I need help!!!! I don't understand how the back of the skirt expands with the shirred bodice back panel without all the waist/gathering stitches popping and ripping. Do you stretch the panel while you stitch the skirt and bodice backs together?

[@teatime4061]

Any time you sew something onto something that is scrunched up like that, you need to stretch it all the way out while stitching. Think of it like trying to make something waterproof...you need to make sure all of the area is secured tightly..no gaps! Using sewing pins really helps for this btw as you only have to stretch sections at a time :)

[@leebradley534]

You said this one took a month, does it usually take that long?

[@TheStitchess]

Nah, it usually takes me a week to finish a project but this one had a lot of details and I had trouble sourcing fabric.

[@timebomb4562]

it looks adorable also i hope you're doing okay

[@adoreity5620]

You are so talented for making a lolita dress! I hope I can try to make one since I just got a sewing machine

[@lilifel]

Good luck

[@lipyislam2576]

so Beautiful ❤❤💙

[@citrouille6642]

Love it!

[@Urushi12kitty]

i'd love to see more lolita from you, its a good look on you (and also i just started wearing lolita despite being into it in HS). This is a very cute old school lolita look you dont see a lot of dresses like this much anymore, it reminds me of early BTTSB!

[@TheStitchWitchPodcast]

Did this only require 1 bedsheet??

[@jenovabathory]

This is incredible. Amazing job!

[@TheCHADsession]

How did you learn to sew so well? I have a machine but get so confused even with the most simple patterns. Do you recommend I go to college for it?

[@TheStitchess]

Practice lots, read lots, and just generally do the thing as often as you can 🤷‍♀️ I went to college for costume design and being in an academic setting did help to break me of some bad habits I had formed without realizing it - but I wouldn’t say it’s necessary. Sewing is one of those things you just learn by doing rather than studying but the studying does help. You can usually find a lot of books about sewing techniques just by hitting up the local thrift store a few times a month. (Which is also a good place to buy neat bedsheets to practice with)

[@leebradley534]

How long does it take you to make your projects (in this case your lolita dresses) usually?

[@iceysue]

Ive done this so much without even knowing that this was a thing. 🤣

[@prmmaciel]

its incredible

[@ZiriO]

Making me look at all these loose topsheets being like "hMMMMMMmmmmm" because guess who's deciding she needs to learn how to sew this quarantine and isn't sure she's got fabric that'll work for a lolita dress....but I do have old bedsheets I could practice with!

[@hillaqui4534]

Que fofo!

[@britt2000rats]

Holy shiet that is amazeballs

[@TheStitchess]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@FOREVERMILO]

So cutttte

[@Khush-ny4fp]

[@peachie4282]

nice! thank you but she too short it's not really Okey in the lolita

[@lilifel]

Wow this looks so complicated

[@thecrabman777]

When you wanna dress like this but you're still dude 😔

[@huasaespacial5896]

You can dress the way you want, clothes do not have gender💕

[@thecrabman777]

@@huasaespacial5896 lowkey, that means a lot hearing someone say that

[@cronchy]
