- This was the longest consultation I have ever had and I was adamant they find another dress because it was not going to be worth it.
I guess it was worth it for my client because we went from tears to smiles.
I explained everything that was going to happen but the client was fine with what I was going to do.
Alterations seen but not mentioned. I lowered the zipper and added lace ties to the top of the dress.
I also had to expand the armhole because it was really small and that's why I had to make the sleeve bigger
How much did I charge... NOT ENOUGH 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Original dress is a Valdrin Sahiti dress found on a knock off site
This is not an alteration. This is a water into wine miracle.
Absolutely true 🎉🎉🎉!!!
😂😂
AMEN!
the way the company photoshopped the mannequins waist 😂😂😂
I know right. It's crazy 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
It even looks ridiculous becouse no woman looks like that 😂
the compnay photoshopped everything! I don't think there's anything real in the original picture!
Ikr 😂 even mannequins cannot fill body image expectations..
I'm saying 😂
Yikes! The fabric looks like the stuff that I see in the Halloween costume section at my local fabric store.
Exactly!
You did a whole MIRACLE! Awesome craftsmanship ❤
Thank you. At least she was happy ❤️
Yes yes yes😊
I'll never understand young women buying cheap knock off dresses that are not even in the same ballpark as their actual size and then spend a lot of money having it fixed just to still look like they're wearing cheap knock off dresses because no amount of alterations can change that crap fabric. Just buy a slightly more expensive dress that actually fits, it'll probably be cheaper than the cheap dress + the cost of alterations and look better.
You're literally a miracle worker. Basically reconstructing the dress from scratch! Those pictures of the mannequins with tiny photoshopped waists makes me so sad. As a rule it 's best not to buy super expensive formalwear online, but especially when the mannequin itself doesn't even look human!! Marketers must be stopped.
There's a bridal boutique near me that changes its window display of mannequins regularly, and every so often they put out what I call a Jessica Rabbit mannequin (with the *impossibly* small waist and perfectly curved hips like the one in this video) when they're displaying a mermaid gown.
Okay I don't know anything about sewing but from that very first picture you showed of her in it I could tell that it was so poorly made! You worked a miracle!
Aww you made her so happy. It’s a wonderful thing you do for people. I know there’s a lot to be said about bodies too big, dresses too cheap and too small, etc, but in the end, you are kind and helpful and you make people happy. It’s wonderful.
Oh my god. You are a miracle worker! I was with you in the first half about shawty just picking another dress, but you did that! YOU DID THAT!!!! INSTANTLY SUBBED WITH NOTIFICATIONS ON!!!!
How could anyone “love” that dress? It’s horrendous, but at least you saved the day
I guess any dress has a chance to be liked by a woman, no matter how it may look :)) we all have different minds.
And maybe no extra money to buy something better
Prob because she’s just a kid
@@soniaaviles6712 good alterations cost a lot though
I mean I personally love the dress but maybe Im just seeing purple and it makes my brain happy but I love the cape thing it has
I am amazed at how well you are able to fit these dresses to your clients. I do have one question-- are they giving their correct measurements? Some of these dresses are disasters. I pray they are paying you a more than proper amount for the miracles you work.
American sizing is SO DIFFERENT from Chinese sizing which is much smaller, they're probably putting their US size online without checking the size chart. Sometimes, you can't even tell where a garment you're ordering is actually being made, so it's best to check the firm's size chart each and every time you order something. It's such a risk! She did an amazing job here! Satin is a nightmare to work with even when it's good quality. I wouldn't have known where to begin with that dress!
I'm a seamstress and I used to be a custom clothing designer maybe I still am but my point is do people really know how to shop for their real size online because it just seems like people don't know what to put down for their size anymore
You know, I was thinking about that too, but then I remembered that the first time I tried shopping online I ordered my standard size, and the clothes came muuuuch smaller than I was used too. So I guess I can’t judge 😂
Absolutely. Always got to check that size chart!
If it’s coming from Asia, an XL is a 32 inch waist.
You can't go by size anymore. I have jeans, same brand, same model in three different sizes and they all fit. I only bought them a few years years apart. Over the last twenty years or so, sizes have been going down.
I have t-shirts that range from M to XL with the XL shirt being tight and the M shirt being loose. Different brands.
Those Asian companies simply lie when sizing just to get people's money. I know because I have inherited many of my mother dresses where the tag says 3x I wear a large or a dress size 10 I can fit an 8 but those dresses are a little loose like they are made for a 14 or 16 but not for the 22 firm my mother is.
You are a miracle worker for a load of women who don't understand how to take their measurements so they order the correct size! OMG it is killing me.
A much simple solution in her hands would have been to return the dress and buy one in her actual size, even if it had to be a different dress. But you did your best with what you had, like always!
If you wear larger than a size 10 in US sizes, nothing from these online stores will be in your size.
Just watching this again and I'm like, Monde is truly a blessing ❤
😂😂😂😂 Sis it was a mess🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. There was a lot of emotions with this one. I would have given up. Thank you for your kind words ❤️🙏🏾
That dress just doesn't fit, not just zip up.
You are a magician! Very talented.
You are so talented! Alterations and sewing is skill that you’ve clearly mastered!! You deserve so many more followers!
Totally agree! I can’t stop watching her! 😅🎉
Why, oh why, do most of your clients order their outfits to small? Excellent work as per usual ❤
The main reason for ordering the wrong size is they don't look at the sizing chart and just order the size they normally wear. Client: "I wear a size 6, so I'll order that!" meanwhile their measurements follow a size 10.
The corset back is a lifesaver! ❤
As a fashion design student: be wary of dressform pics like that. They look cool ig... But if it hasn't been photoshopped, it's a display mannequin with the dress clipped wayyy in, in the back. The dress doesn't actually have those proportions, nor should it. Cuz the garment needs to fit actual people....A dressform like that is USELESS.
Dressforms are meant to assist in pattern drafting and garment fitting (when the actual fitting model is not available). How can it do that if it's not to anyone's realistic body shape whatsoever??? Now, there's valid criticisms in how most dressforms are made to the idealized runway model body shape of the era (vintage 1950's dressforms are curvier than 1970's dressforms for example), rather than most customers' bodies...
But a pic of the garment on the dressform it was actually fit-tested on gives you a much better idea on how to compare it to your own body shape for how it might fit/hang on you.
After seeing so many people order online and seeing the disaster they received, I would do better if I purchase my dress from a bridal shop.
YOU made it work out cause that was a mess 😅😅😅😅😅😅
There's way too many of these women that order dresses that are too small for their bodies to start with, but thank god you can work miracles to fix them!! 💜💯
So....the client could not zip the dress because she was way bigger than the dress. You get quite a few of these, don't you?
Your videos are so fun!!! I cannot believe the stuff people buy and expect you to fix it
You are a miracle worker!
Geez I’ve seen better quality fabric in Walmart 😱😱😱
Remember you can't put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 lb bag. Just what this client is trying to do. Then you have to just about remake the dress to fit her.
Again, you worked a miracle on a dress that had to be at least two sizes too small.
you did more than an alteration, you remade the entire dress! Beautiful job! the young girl looked so nice in it.
Why do plus size people buy dresses that don't fit them?
this won't zip up??? it looks 4 sizes too small! props for being able to fix this disaster.
Ugh.... These big ones really wanna be getting into that size zero dresses...
Awww. They sold her a dream and you made it come true.
That girl wasn’t realistic about that dress and her figure.
Why do people keep buying these cheap online dresses expecting anything other than a mess.
I’ve wondered the same thing. 🤔
Ugh! These clients!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ As usual, great work!
That cheap fabric has got to feel awful on her skin! But you did an amazing job on that dress! 🎩 🪄
Seriously, people have no self awareness.
No offence but why do these girls insist on ordering the wrong sizes.There are boutiques all over the country.
Your craftsmanship is great, you are a professional, but these folks expectations are way out there the fact that folks want to pay the least for designer style dresses knowing that the workforce employee are inhumanely underpaid, and expect to get high quality garment pieces and high-end materials fabrics and craftsmanship at rock bottom prices they have to know they are risking themselves to be ripped off even though as customers they are okay with slave work for the employees that's shameful for a special occasion outfit for one use
You're amazing in a magnificent way, but some of your clients are amazing in a monstrous way. 😂
So you basically made her prom dress! Cause WHOA!
A high school young woman should not be wearing a dress so for an older woman to a prom! She has all her life to be an adult and so short of a time to be young!
So you need to buy two dresses of the internet then ask the lady to fix it one will be the sacrificial one the other the final product.
Sorry the dress was horrendous and the end result at least she could zip it. Non sense to spend any extra money in that Halloween costume .
Baby.. you pulled a miracle! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Clothing from China is about 3 sizes smaller than the US size.
Girl I would have cried with all there was to do that mess of a dress! I hope you charged what you are worth!
you are a wizard. next time girls order a size bigger.
You are amazing. Beautiful job!!
thank you so much ❤️
Yet again someone who refuse to buy her size.🤪
Why do people order ridiculous online dresses
She does look beautiful though! ❤
You're SUPER talented!! You made it beautiful. She purchased that dress (several sizes too small) thinking she'd fit into it no matter what lol!
Ballbella strikes again! 🤦♀️
"The body does not come with the dress."
You truly are a miracle worker. I hope you are making a lot of money. ❤
You transformed that dress
I'm starting to notice that zipper problems are a euphemism for something else.
For what?
@@somebody9 I'm fat and so delusional about that, that I keep buying clothes 3 or 4 sizes smaller than my actual size.
@@isamukim1693 do you really? Why?
@@somebody9 Someone saying the dress is having zipper problems is a way of saying it doesn't fit without coming out and saying "The dress is too small".
Wow! You are a miracle worker! That dress turned out stunning!!
You are a miracle worker!!!! You basically remake most of these dresses. I'm curious how much you charge for these reconstructions (just a range).
WOW!!!! I also have altered dresses like this one. It's no Sunday in the park. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful evening 😀 Robin N.Otis-Clayborne
Great job! 👍😁
God bless you !
You are a miracle worker! 💕💕💕
You are saving dresses everyday! You made it look wonderful!
After many many views, this one made me finally take the time to click subscribe.
You're an artist. You're a Van Gogh of garments. Brava!
Stunning
these clients be underplaying straight up garment level PTSD as mild seasonal depression...
You are a magician for sure. Great job! I could give the country analysis of the original dress but I'm sure it would be offensive!
So sad, I've seen too many dresses that are draped on a form but are not dresses but fabric draped on with no zippers or closures. Big issue always is how is the client gets on and off a dress. You did quite well considering what you had to work with!
Do you ever feel sad about the fact that your prom dress clients have grown up in this time of 'you need the perfect dress for this special evening' consumerism? I'm just thinking of all the kids coming to you with the cheap things they bought because they don't have a steady stream of income desperate to look like the models they saw the outfits on initially because anything else leads to social ridicule.
Poor Monde couldn't even get the words "quality of the fabric" out of her mouth! 😂
I cackle everytime you tell them, "buy another dress" and they always want you to fix it. Why oh why do they want to make yoy work 😂😂
This is that 1.00 fabric that you used to be able to get at Walmart that just disappears as your working with it. 🤬
No matter how much you preach to these people they’re gonna still keep buying the cheap crap expecting hot fashions.
Another instance of ordering Asian sizes and finding they are not even remotely equivalent, more than likely
I love your work. You save a lot of girl's dreams.
Dress designed for Jessica Rabbit from Roger Rabbit animation.
You are a miracle worker.
I’m constantly in awe of what you can do. This was incredible!
At this point, I'm thinking when folks buy off Temu, etc, they're basically paying for less fabric than they need... that might hold together during a sneeze? 😂 She probably paid in alterations what it would have cost from a legit seller.
Most likely and still ended up dressed in a cheap dress.
You are so insanely talented!!!
i have seen the original designer versions of these dresses and it’s not coming from bellabella 😂
What a lifesaving wizard you are!!
You are absolute miracle worker, you are so talented. Wow
Does anyone know the name of the actual designer?
You are an absolute Fairy Godmother!
I just love your videos! Awesome job!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity
These companies count on another dress or 2 being reordered. Not everyone has a Fairy God Mother at hand. They are rip off artists.
No, they provide measurements in both cm and inches, it is on the customer to know their size and order correctly. Just clicking med or lg is beyond absurd and how this happens.
She really rocked the final look
Beautiful alteration ❤
Genius! You made her smile!
Beautiful. I just love your channel. All those gorgeous dresses with your great expertise. Thank you so much. Long may you reign. ❤❤❤
Great job!
WOW 😊
You're a miracle worker
You did a great job! 👍
Yikes! I'm glad that she ended up loving it. Bless your heart for tackling it!
