REUPLOADED because i left out the "BEFORE" pictures in the beginning! :( I feel better that its there now lol :) Hope you enjoy!
+coolirpa shaking my booty at you
+coolirpa Great work. That dress looks super wonderful on her.
If you want to have your new styles prom dress, you can go to google search "pickedresses" to got, the dresses is cheap and unique, hope can help you.
coolirpa, I couldn't find the hem tutorial and question why you gave 2 inches extra on the hem is it too big the 2 inches for folding?
I would love to have a cousin like you!! Any problems with my clothes, you can fix them for me haha!
That's what I was thinking 😂
If I had a cousin like her I wouldn't bother buying any dresses! 😁
+ynazzra hahaha!! True!!
My sister-in-law is handy with a sewing machine. She took in a dress for me with a bustline that was too large. To repay her, I babysat my 2.5-year-old nephew.
She should try buying one of those really cheap like terrible $5 ebay dresses and turn it into a dress thats not horrific.
I've already picked this dress out for my senior prom! It's so gorgeous and this video was so helpful!
It's so satisfying to watch you cut fabrics with that pizza-cutter looking tool. I should get me one even though I dont sew 😂😂 Just to cut stuff
Haha SO TRUE! xD
It's made specifically for cutting fabric. It's called a fabric rotary cutter.
don't ruin it lol
I was thinking the same like "I wonder if I could use my pizza cutter as a rotary tool to save money" lmaoooo
omg!!! i've been subscribed for a while now, but i just randomly search the name of this dress bc i need to alter it and your vid pops up like a savior! lol
Omg! My friend got this dress for prom in black and is super gorgeous. I love this dress in that shade of blue too, super pretty!
Yes 😁
She is so lucky to have you for a cousin.
It looks great!
Your whole family is super pretty
this was extremely helpful and easy to understand. I am attempting to shorten my own dress without having to take it to a seamstress so thank you!
Thanks for the tips! c: I'm petite (4' 11"!) so sometimes I have to alter clothes, but cutting into dresses always seem scary to me! Lol. I hope your cousin has a great time at prom.
Have you ever considered using a rolled hem foot to hem chiffon? It's a presser foot that makes perfect rolled hems and it is a blessing
+Robot Rose I don't own one currently! lol but yes! :D
Where do you get it ? I like to have one but my Brother sawing machine does not have it.
I'm 5'9 I have tall girl problems like when the dress is to short but was meant to be long😭
She got the dress from Lulu's and I love Lulu's because they have very tall models with nearly identical body types to me so their stuff always fits me perfectly. And they almost specialize in longer dresses so my butt doesn't hang out like in Forever 21 dresses
Sadaf Sekandarpoor I’m a pretty short person who somehow gravitates towards pretty long dresses lol.
Very very nice video, so glad to see young people loving to sew!! 🙂
What would I do without your creations and fixes!!? Love!
I'm 5ft, I can relate lol😭 You did an amazing job! 💕👏🏽
#tallgirlproblems when a slit is TOO high up and your ladybit are hanging out
sounds like my whole life
sounds like my whole life
or when maxi skirts aren't maxi skirts
+Nutella yessss
+Nutella yes omg and then my abdomin is so short compared to my legs hahah
I want to be your cousin XD
Fania Muthia same here
I’m a petite girl and was just looking at Lulu’s dresses. Thank you!!
My butt wouldn't raise the hem. I don't have a butt lmao
Mine would too much :D
SAME 😂😂
no really it always will, but say whatever you would like.
The Inflatable Sea Lion

I bought the one from CR and I love it. The skirt doesn't have as much fabric so it doesn't flow as much, but for a fraction of the price I'll take it! I love this style of dress but it took me forever to find one for less than $100...
so pretty!!! great job! your cousin rocked that dress:)
Please can I just adopt you so you can change my frumpy wardrobe into beautiful stylish and unique creations???
;-)
Seriously, I need a bff with mad skillz like yours!!
you know what ? I literally LIVE for your videos ! :( :) :) :)
OMG i ordered the same dress but it's a few shades darker than hers, she looks gorgeous!!!!
Kaia slayyyss From where? I really want it but can't find it anywhere! :(
You and your cousin look a lot alike! Gorgeous alteration!
Ok so I just randomly saw one of your videos( the prom dress you made out of two dresses one) and I was thinking how all the people who are scammed by online prom dresses or wedding dresses should hire you, and I saw this video, lol.. just letting you know that though I would never be able to do this, I am gonna subscribe!!!
I have found that the factory hem is not even, pretty much never.
If you measure up from the edge you’re going to get the same uneven hem.
It’s a good idea to pin the desired length all the way around, it doesn’t take that long.
She looks very pretty!
You are like the best cousin EVER!!
Super helpful! Thank you!
ahhh this dress is gorgeous
Love you April! Snap fam❤️❤️ forever whising that I can do all those thing you do! Love from Holland❤️
She looks lovely!!
The dress is so beatyful!
it's beautiful! amazing work
Super cute!!! She's beautiful!
Woooow😍😍 you are very talented for this job👌👏👏 I like all your dresses😍😊
Wao ... that is a total different dress ...
Beautiful as always😍
She looks beautiful😍
My life is full of shortgirl problems, I wish I had a cousin who could just adjust all my clothes for me (or the skills to do so my self)
Ya think so?
I'm 4'6 and 15 years old. And I'm not a midget, I was was just born that way from 5 foot parents. Yes. Yes I'm Asian.
Honestly, I just shop for a bunch of supposed-to-be crop tops and wear them as normal shirts, since they fit just right on my waist 😂
I need to learn more from this channel.
Aw you didn't mention the sticky things you used to keep the dress on her shoulders. I saw on snapchat you used something but I can't remember what it was called! I was hoping you would mention it here.
I think it is called fashion tape :)
+Cristiana Chi thank you so much!! :)
you have great taste in music !
Good job April, you're awesome!!!!
So the dress has to already have a slit?
I'd really appreciate if you could make a tutorial for that!! Def subscribing!!!
I got that same dress for prom in 2015 and even with the right size, i had to alter it in almost all the same spots. I kept the train though! The train adds a little something to the dress.
I have been tasked with hemming a formal chiffon stage dress. It is reused from year to year so it cannot be cut. It it just over 6 inches too long, so there is a lot of extra material. I'm not sure I can hem it to lay down right. I am doing a 3 and 3 inch fold, but pinned it looks bulky, and of course there is extra material creating little bulges from seam to seam. I want to say I am working with 12 - 15 feet of hem. Ugh. Will sew tomorrow if anyone has suggestions.
The dress looks great
how do you cinch in the waist from the center back if your dress has the zipper in the way?
I wish I could have a cousin like you!
Wow I love that dress!!
I love this video! Very helpful and you live in SD! :D
Amazing she looks so pretty 😆
I wish you were my sister! You're amazing!
You are AWESOME ! I honestly wish I could sew as well as you, but I'm trying my hardest to get back into sewing . A few years ago, the Lord healed me of depression, but since then I find it very difficult to get back into doing the healthy hobbies that I loved, such as drawing and sewing . The problem is my fear that I'm not as good at either as I used to be BEFORE I had depression . I'm so drawn to sewing and drawing, that I buy materials for projects all the time . But when I try to do even a small project , I freeze up and can't do it. Same with the drawing .
just go for it, does not matter if it goes wrong just do it
Venomlily16 Listen to Denise Moran. She has wise advice. See if you can get yourself to do it. That’s the big step. If it turns out well, hooray! If it doesn’t, look at it carefully, and see if you can learn from your mistake. Either way, you have Won. Good luck… I support you in your journey.
BEAUTIFUL DRESS 😍😍😍
Grrrrrrreat job. Perfect!!!
I’m wearing basically the same dress from azazie and same issue with the slit! Im short so its almost at my knees
Omg I have like three drasses that don't fit me I'm going to do this thank you 💜💜😻
I wish I could us sew like you. I can only hand sew and so I do some small alterations now and then. But it'll be fun if I was able to make my own dresses. But I just don't understand patterns and stitches and all
I have a prom dress and I wnat to add a slit to it, its chiffon with a fabric underneath. how would you add a slit that isnt there before. it was also a halter top that is floor length, is it possible to alter the arm holes so they are more curved?
in looooove w this dressssss!!!!! 😍😍😍
wow your cousin is really lucky to have you
She looks beautiful. :)
Great job, nicely done
I have that same dress for my prom and I love it💙
you did a wonderful job
I had the same dress in red! 😊
I thought you should take dresses in from the sides, I'm not exactly sure I'm just asking, you can take them in from the back and the sides?
So i just cut my prom dress to hem it, but the back is too short... i added an extra inch but it looks bad... is there any way i can add fabric back without it showing too much ive been looking for tips online but i cant find anything... do you know where i could find info on it? please reply :/
Good job! Looks great
I love the fixes :) You did a great job
hello, you are so talented. can you tell me what kind of pencil you used to mark ? and what tool for cut the material ? I want to buy it for my mother.
Fabric marker that can be erased with water and its called a rotary cutter
thats the san diego convention center!!! i knew i recognized it!! i live in sd
Where was the zipper in this dress? I love to sew and create new looks so watching you is inspirational.👗✂️
You should try to make a dupe of this dress!!!
That's a pretty dress
Do you have a video on how to remove a train from a dress? My prom dress has a train, but I really want it even all the way around. If you could direct me to a video you already have or if you could post one that would be awesome!!
Need my homecoming dress fixed b4 the 9th of Oct 😩
Just found out that coolirpa is april ooc backwards, don't know if ooc is your lastname but cool!
Wow!
Cool April I think? Like as in she's cool haha
Ooc is often an abbreviation for Out Of Character, and it refers to saying something as yourself rather than as your character. So that may be related, though I don't know for sure.
april literally explains in an earlier episode that it's her name backwards and she just added "cool" to the beginning.
Must be cool to have a cousin like you
Her dress is beautiful and so is her cousin
Wooooow she did that😍
