    Love Liz!! So connect with her, especially that I 'save' old gowns, lol. Goodwill Restore sells them for $1.99 a pound and I need to stop buying and make something!! New subscriber, Florida.

    I was at a goodwill yesterday in North Florida and their wedding dresses were $30. And they were freaking AMAZING! The amount of gorgeousness to cut off the dresses was in sane. I think I’ll go back and get one.

    I so appreciate the time you took to make this video. I love to "save" vintage dresses also and create beauty of some sort with each and every gown I'm able to find or for the most part I love to redesign and update vintage gowns with additional beading. Your video has been helpful and I hope you continue to share your ideas and your creativity. This video is very helpful and I thank you!

    Thank you for making this series. I just got my hands on a wedding dress for 5 dollars. I'm so excited. This dress has appliqués ok the way down the back of the dress and train on both sides. Going to watch the rest of the videos. Thank you so much.

    Hi, I am in the UK and wedding dresses here are usually too expensive in the charity shops to buy. However my local Hospice shop is selling them at £10. I am so excited - will watch your tutorial. Pauline.

      +Ciara Mcinerny , Thank You, I have recorded the bodice portion but have not edited it. I am using comments and views to help me determine what order I release videos. I have decided that once all the wedding dress videos reach 50 + views I will get to editing and post it. Please share the tutorial.

    Liz, today I scored a wedding dress for $10! I appreciate you taking the time to teach us how to take it apart. I have shared this video in my group explaining why I need this information. I hope to also learn from you different ways to use these appliques. Most videos I have found so far are destash videos!!! Maybe others also struggle with how to utilize these beautiful pieces then just sell them off. I will find ways to use! And very excited to get started!

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Kiki Dodson how exciting. I have used them in ornaments, wreath, totebag. Just scan my channel you will find either a project share or diy.

  • @jessicalafond7982
    @jessicalafond7982 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would you use a seem ripper in some projects to save more of the fabric?

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Definitely. It depends what you plan to do with it. I have a few dresses I want to keep the skirt intact and will do so.

  • @screwdriver6176
    @screwdriver6176 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you do a video on detactching a tulle skirt from a bodice.
    I absolutely hate my wedding dress bodice. It's like a costume and I can't move my arms, so now I'm rushing to remove my bodice but keep my skirt.

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would unsew it. Usually the skirt is first gathered then attached to the bodice.

    Thank you for sharing these tutorials...I have my wedding dress from my 1st marriage (1972) yep old!!! No it's not near as Lacey and beautiful as the ones you have, but it does have some., I've been contemplating as to what I want to do with it for a loooong time. My daughter didn't want to use it for her wedding of course. I kept thinking my granddaughters might want to, but they have no interest in wearing it either. Which is just fine, but I want to make "Something" as keepsakes for them. Some day they just might appreciate it, like at there weddings. As something old!!! Anyhooo, I love making mixed media things, so thinking one of my keepsake/time capsules boxes might be a way to add bits of the dress. And with your tutorials of deconstruction I think I could do it. So again TFS... God Bless

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You know the ring barrer pillow would of been beautiful from your wonderful wedding dress. Or the garter. Or you could make a regular pillow for the bedroom if you have a Victorian or lacy guest room or your own bedroom.

    I found a prom dress that’s the shape I want for my wedding dress I’m just adding more to it! I need to deconstruct so I can add layers of tulle to the satin

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In your case you may wish to take the time to use a seam ripper at the seams instead of cutting it for crafts.

  • @feeltheburnsalissaaj681
    @feeltheburnsalissaaj681 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m trying to take the skirt off of my wedding gown and replace it with satin. Should I do it myself or go to a seamstress

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi,
      If you are replacing it unless you have experience. I would take it to a seamstress.
      To alter something is much more skill than cutting it apart for crafting purposes.

    • @feeltheburnsalissaaj681
      @feeltheburnsalissaaj681 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @katlady5000
    @katlady5000 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm thinking of turning my wedding dress into a quilt so this video was very helpful. I was wondering if I could save time removing the lining if I used a rotary cutter and mat instead of scissors. Has anyone tried this? Thanks again for this video.

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +katlady5000 hi, It is possible but might be bulky. You would need enough space. Those skirts are usually very full.

    Hey liz, wow wish i had seen this before i got my wedding dressed deconstruction . I bought the,weddung dresses from thrift stores though.. you can also get them from garage sales too. I have big plastic containers that hold one drawer of the appliques one of satin on of tulle. I will be using them for my jackets or refashioned items. Oh what editing programs do you use? People have been asking me to actually show the before and after pictures and also while i am sewing so it is not too long or boring. Thank you so very much. I was babysitting my grand daughter and the nap is the only time to do things like this. Just remember to put those scissors up so they don't........ help?!?!?👀👀👀👀👀

    • @CraftyDevotion

    Hi Liz My name is Jan - R. Elstad and I am from Norway. I have been watshing your tutorial and finding it very interresting. I happen to own Norways largest privately owned cultural historical collection of weddingdresses. The oldest one from the year 1877. I have about 378 various dresses, and dresses made from parachutesilk from worldwar two too. I, among other tings, watshed you rip the skirt of the weddingdress with a mix of dread and joy. Dread because of the gorgeous weddingdress beeing ripped. And joy because of you finding use of the dress, the lace and appliques, in this Shabby Chic kind of way. In a kind of way I liked the sight and sound of the satin and nylon fabric beeing ripped. Still - as a serious collector at first I felt terrible about it.

    • @jan-rogerelstad2904
      @jan-rogerelstad2904 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Would it be possible for you to have the weddingdress up on a manequin when you are cutting it up? To show where and when on the skirt and train you are cutting / ripping? Was hoping that one could get a better idea not only where, but also how big peases of fabric, and how many of them you get, both from the satin and the linning? The reason beeing the grainline / tearline in the fabric of the dress and how the skirt and train is sewn.

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jan-roger Elstad I can imagine your mixed emotions. Maybe not to your degree but I do battle the same thing. With the dresses as well as with doilies and vintage linens. I also cringe when some vintage furniture is shabby chic. Do you have a link I can follow for photos of your dresses?

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jan-roger Elstad , I have been considering added another part to this series including tips and tricks. I just need more time. Haha
      I am still in recovery from surgery, am raising an adorable rambunctious 3 year old in my 50's, running a small business along side my love of designing. Therefore I may take a while before I can do that.

    • @jan-rogerelstad2904
      @jan-rogerelstad2904 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am sorry to say that i do not have such a link. But if you could concider beeing a friend of mine on Facebook, I can send you a couple of photos. I can also try to forward them to you on E-mail, since I want your opinion of the dresses only.

      Hi Frankie, when I first began crafting I used a wedding dress and my suscribers suggested a deconstruction video. This series has a slow and steady growth of greatful new crafty friends who are encouraged to upcycle a vintage dress. Seems I found another kindred friend. Welcome.

    • @TexasTigressDesigns

      Crafty Devotion Liz Benavides I am wanting to start doing video's as well showing my Work as a Recycle Artist. I just don't have the setup to do that just yet.
      Working on that!

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am staying very simple. I use my old cell phone because I am of the sort that doesn't update all the time. Currently i have a Samsung Note 4. I use free editing software, Windows movie maker. I have purchased umbrella and something to hold my phone for me. I focus on my hands for more than one reason. I don't need to be in front of a camera and I only need to clean my table area. Haha Messy Crafter. If you want link s to what I use let me know.

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +debra vanzant. Yes, I think I explain that in one of the tutorials. Each dress may have various ways that you need to cut them out. Sometimes no layers other times leave te layers especially the bodices it needs to stay or you will lose beads.

      @debravanzant1962 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am. I've bought three dresses so far. The first one I paid 20 dollars for, no bling just these tiny individual flowers all over it. The second one one was purchased withe the first for 65 dollars. Had being through sequins and seed beads, I ended up having to let a lot of the seed beads go as they were sewn on last and through 4 layers of fabric...made it difficult to deconstruct. The last one I found was on sale 50% off and also found some ribbons etc for a total of 27 dollars. I think im hooked. LOL I'm on the lookout for that perfect applique dress that doesn't cost 65 dollars :)

    • @CraftyDevotion
      @CraftyDevotion  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +debra vanzant. Hooked, I am glad. Haha. Glad your having fun. For the beaded applique try a cold glue brush it on with a brush let dry and cut. I also leave the layers on and cut around it leaving the white background.
