There is this TV show where they remake old dresses and it always turns out horrible! Great job! This both keeps the idea and integrity of the old dress, while still being wearable today :)
Something borrowed something new....to be fair sometimes the dresses turn out nice ☺️ but sometimes they changed them like crazy ripping it apart and save like one piece of lace to make a garter 😆
@@CoverediCake hahaha, I can't stop laughing at this comment
@@celloviola110 haha. Happy I can bring some joy ☺️ Thanks
Karolina Zebrowska (sp???) did a video ripping that show.
@@suzettehenderson9278 Yes 😊 She also said some dresses was good. Be nice to the seamstress doing here job ☺️
it is so apparent how much you cared about the dress and the human and the experience and the day- truly charming and sweet to watch.
I’m glad you didn’t pull a “something borrowed something new” where they completely change the old dress to the point where you can’t even recognise it. I find it so disrespectful to do that so you definitely did an amazing job.
The fact that you re-did the part where your camera died shows us how dedicated and professional you are about your channel, thank you so much for that extra step you took!
Agree. It was very considerate. 💐
Thank you for showing a dress update that still respects the memories that came before! I hate that show that takes the family wedding dress and rips it up to only use a tiny little bit of lace from it. This is a far better way to revive an old dress!
You did a wonderful unintrusive job! The dress is still absolutely recognisable but not dated at all.
I'm sorry the camera died, but I very much appreciate the use of a contrasting fabric instead of white on white to demonstrate a new technique :)
Very clever👍🏻
I was a bit shocked by the thumbnail until I realized it's the "before" 😂 the dress turned out sooo pretty!
Same here!! I was like, "what?"
Same 🙃
I almost didn't watch it for the same reason and looked whether anyone else thought it's really awful until I know realized it's not the "after" dress O.o
Maybe the thumbnail should be changed so that people who are as dumb as me watch the video... :)
You know you’ve watched too much Micarah Tewers when you’re expecting the boning to be zip ties. 🤣
i had it worst.. i was expecting a skit in between of the videos maybe about getting eye lasik surgery or maybe going to a pool-aerobic at a home retirement community when the video is about sewing tutorial. 🤣🤣
I was actually thinking she will use a glue gun...
Or saying 10 snickers wide
There were also no chickens in sight in this vid🤣
Same here!😂😂🤣🤣
So shocking seeing actual boning being used, I’ve gotten so used to seeing people use zip ties that it actually confused me for a moment 😂
omg zipties
Honestly, same. I'm assuming she used actual boning because it was a wedding dress and it was for a client, but if it was a more casual outfit and not for someone else, I'd assume many people would just use zip ties.
@@weirdbunmi shes used boning in several videos, its always real boning never zipties
@@weirdbunmi Didn't know about zipties, how cheap. WOW
@@piarateking8094 Whoops! I'm a new fan, so forgive me for not knowing. She's got a taste for quality, then. I've seen people just use zip ties, and I often do it myself, but it's good to know she doesn't use anything lesser on herself. Thanks for the info!
That's lovely. My mum had a similar style of dress to that and I loved standing on a chair to try it on growing up. Nowhere near getting married but do love the idea of up cycling it to a more modern and style that would suit me.
Also taking a moment to appreciate that gorgeous horse too 🐴
This is how an original dress needs to be updated! Staying true to the integrity of the original dress- and what a beautiful dress it was wit such incredible and intricate lace and embroidery!
Beautiful work!
i love how she explains it like its instructions as if any of us are following a tutorial. Im just hear to watch you work your magic! I don't know what a princess seam is!
This is so beautiful! I love seeing wedding dresses being remade, but sometimes they end up not even looking close to the original. I love how you can still clearly see that it's the same dress, but just a little bit more modern!
This is so beautiful. I wore my mom's wedding dress from the late 80s. It was a very similar dress. I took off the sleeves entirely and kept the mesh with the necklace. We added bust support and lace detailing around the arm holes. I really love these adjustments too!!
You recreating the part where your camera died is just so professional
Absolutely fantastic. You truly modernized the sleeves. As a quilter, I enjoy watching you use the walking foot in garment structuring. Excellent April.
What a wholesome sweet story of this dress. It seems to have become a family heirloom. Maybe it will be passed down in the family after her.
It’s been professionally cleaned, boxed up, and is ready for the next 👰
The boning alone made such a huge difference. It sagged so bad on her mom. I’m shocked that it didn’t have boning before. Great job with making minor alterations but keeping the basic style of the dress!
This made me tear up all over again. You did a amazing job. Thank you so much.
you did a beautiful job! another way to help keep a dress up, especially with strapless dresses is to put a grosgrain ribbon belt on the inside of the dress. tack the ribbon at the seams and put a large hook and eye like you would find on pants at the back. make sure the ribbon is snug when hooked. The ribbon belt on the inside will carry the weight of the skirt at the waist instead of dragging the whole top of the dress down
I love that you didn't completely change the old dress. Its adorable that she used her mother dress
Love how you "truly" redid the dress. Unlike so many shows and chennels out there that used old dresses as a scrap fabric.
I recently started sewing and it’s really made me appreciate the skill that’s involved with things like this! You make it look so easy!!
You did such an amazing job!!! I really appreciated that you didn't destroy the integrity of the dress b/c I've seen it done and 80% of the time it's awful and completely disrespectful. None of that happened here! Congrats to the bride too!
I wish I could do this jeez, she’s so talented
Ikr
It’s never too late to learn! You could be great 😊
Beautiful dress before and after! You did amazing alterations April! The bride using the left over lace did a great job too on add it to give more coverage. She is beautiful and I know her mom is so proud that she choose to wear her wedding gown. Congratulations to April for a job well done and congratulations to the newlyweds!
Great job. She looked amazing in that dress. small alterations made such a big difference. 👍
That was beautiful . You really saved that dress , and it is still the same dress . It is not just a reuse of the old fabric in a different dress, as I have seen . You kept all the emotions intact in the return of Mums lovely dress . Sensitively done indeed . By the way I just loved that heavenly bridal bouquet. No clutch of tightly bound flower stems with the flowers jammed into a clump , but a graceful cascade of gorgeous colours flowing from her hands down that dress . wow !!.
Wow you did it perfectly in every sense, true to upholding the integrity of the original dress🤗
April this re-styled dress was obviously very much enjoyed by the beautiful Bride, that smile! What an honour for the Bride and her Mother.
(I would've loved to see it as a strapless dress with that full skirt.)
Well done the remake is beautiful and yet you can still see that it is her mother's wedding dress. Well done.
This is so cool April! It's so cool we got to see you upcycle someone's special dress!!! And congrats to Kacey(?) (I'm sorry if i misspelled that)
You've made such subtle changes and yet the dress looks more contemporary while still respecting the original. I'm in awe, as always. Good job!
Wow it turned out very nice, and that train is *extra*!. A wedding dress makeover reminds me of my prom in 2003. I bought a wedding dress at a consignment shop for 100$, it was similar to belle's in Beauty and the Beast with the bottom gathers, but had sleeves, etc. I just took off the sleeves and folded the neckline a bit to make a sleeveless heart neck line (it was already boned). I sewed the edges by hand in (and I'm sure I used a bit of hot glue too on the inside? I had not clue what I was doing)...But it turned out pretty good, especially when the fashion at the time was huge poofy skirt dresses costing hundreds of dollars. Even 4 years later in 2007 when my sister graduated, the style was already so much sleeker!
This was done so respectfully to the old dress and it´s original design. Not as that horrible tv show. Good job, beautifully done
This is so sweet. My mom kept her old wedding dress and says she would love for me to tailor it for when I get married someday.
Beautiful transformation! You make it look so easy and I know it isn't!! You certainly have talent.
Awesome job. I bet her mother was thrilled to have her daughter in the same dress, modified for the up-to-date look. My dress from ‘78 was in bad condition from a poor heir-looming job. I used the net and lace appliqués from my veil as well as some fabric from my mother-in-law’s dress to make a ring pillow for my daughter.
Wowzers! I hope you get more wedding dress alteration requests because this is so great! Would love to have seen the reaction of the mother :')
what a beautiful bride !! absolutely stunning! I bet her mother was soo touched
You did such an amazing job!! I've seen so many people completely destroy the original dress. But it turned out so beautiful!
You did a fantastic job April! It is updated but still pretty much recognizable. I love how she added the bead appliqués on the neckline too!
Adding the boning to the bodice really made an incredible difference! What a beautiful job. 👏👏
Wow the amount of trust she give to you is just amazing
It turn out so beautiful, you are extremely talented!
I wish that we could get a closer look to the neck. It turned out well for an old dress. Good job.
Incredible transformation! I love seeing wedding dress flips / upcycling / updating
Really beautiful job! Congrats Kaycee!
Now THIS is how you modify a vintage dress! Beautiful!
Congratulations Kaycee! You looked stunning!
It turned out so updated and beautiful. 💕
You did such a fantastic job on this one! I especially love how you modified the shoulders, so clever. And her idea to use the extra trim on the neckline adds such a nice detail. She looks like a true princess!
This is exciting!!! Happy 2021. It's going to be amazing. Amazing outcome.
A beautiful dress for a beautiful bride!! You did a fabulous job, April!! God Bless!!!!!
I don't have a mom anymore, or have her wedding dress, so this is perfect to live vicariously through. Beautiful job.
You did such a brilliant job and it’s not so far removed that you can’t tell it’s the same dress which is even better
The transformation is so pretty. Also, the world of change it did to that skirt a good ironing¡
This was the perfect alteration! Was even more stunning!
This is such a precious project! It came out beautiful
So much fun to watch! Beautiful result!
April, you did a wonderful job on this dress. I love the little changes you made, it really makes a difference!
You preserved the integrity of the dress in a way professional shows fail to. Much love for that ❤❤❤
This is lovely because you kept the style of the original, whilst updating it for a modern bride. She certainly did look beautiful on her wedding day. Great job!
the dress turned out beautifully great job april .. and congrats casey you make the dress more beautiful and sweet ..
It turned out so beautiful!!
Great guide, not just in design decisions but in applying specific techniques. Ty!
I love this and hope Meme Mom, Karolina, sees your beautiful work!
Nice job!!! Kaycee definitely said Yes to the dress!!! Congrats to her as well!!
Absolutely wonderful!
Great job!! You made the old dress look better!
loved how u kept the integrity of the dress & love your make up & outfit in the intro too!
I love it! Honestly when you do wedding dress videos they are some of my favorites. Something about a dress that is only worn once and you give it a whole makeover and it gets another special day. Would love to see more of this as well as doing this to other things like prom dresses, other formal dresses, a bridesmaid dress. Stuff like that.
One of my absolute favorite videos. It’s so cool that she got to wear her mom’s wedding dress
Beautiful job April, love it.
How beautiful!!! Thank you for the tip about the tulle overlay
wow that turned out amazing!
Perfect as always
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Coolirpa is back!! ❤ happy new year!
you are so talented! it turned out amazing
It turned out so beautiful!!!!
Wow you did such an amazing job!
What a beautiful and respectful way to alter a wedding gown! You did a marvelous job! ^_^
April I freaking love your videos ❤️❤️ I saw the most incredible dress at a thrift shop the other day and thought of u and how you could’ve updated it and made it amazing hahaha
You are so professional!!! Brilliant!!!
This is absolutely beautiful 🤩
April, this is so absolutely beautiful and unique!!! You are so talented and even my husband who normally doesn't have interest in my videos watched part of it!
That is so beautiful. With your good skill, it look easy.
Wow, this turned out beautifully! Great job.
I'm surprised that the dress didn't have boning originally. It gives the bodice a much nicer shape!
I also really like how your friend added the details from the neck to the bodice. Very pretty!
She looks like a princess!
Your sewing pins are so cute!!
Beautiful work!! I love that you did not destroyed the dress to create new one, hate that this TV show did that, really hate the show, but you did a great job 🤩 and you can see the old dress with new life
Love your look and your outfit. That’s a lovely dress. Thanks for sharing this girl.
Wow beautiful alterations on the dress!
it turned out so beautiful!
Wow! This must have taken such a long time! Amazing final result. 👏
Very nice, just a hint, if you take the boning out of the casing before you sew it on you will make your job infinitely easier
Beautiful job!
So brave to tackle this project but it really paid off! Beautiful job. 💖
Beautiful work 💖
