I'm surprised y'all didn't run with the idea of having the same shirt to thrift. That would be an interesting challenge to have the same item and try to come up with different ways to upcycle the same piece. ❤️
I like that idea
That idea doesnt really follow the video idea though as they said that the top wasn't that ugly
Maverick Moses i thought of that ,, because they probably have completely different styles and it would be fun to see what each of them made with it
It’s usually hard to find two same shirts in a thrift store lol
Those shirts weren’t ugly enough, though it could’ve been a better idea with a different peice
but... the collar and the cuffs were the best part of that dress... literally the reason i clicked on the thumbnail.
GwendolynnBY right!!!!!
right?!
UGH SAME
Noooo are they going to ruin that dress that could go 1930s? Whyyyyy???
Me too
“Anything patterned is ugly”
*looks over to my closet with shame*
Same. I love floral print
Almost everything I own.......😢
My bff has a collection of what she calls "ugly shirts", which are essentially really funky patterned shirts. They aren't ugly at all when styled right, y'know? Just when you looked at them as a collection, it was like.. whoa, who is that crazy person?! loll I think most of what Emma Chamberlain wears is butt ugly, but she's on Vogue, so hey... there is no objective definition of ugly. Some people think lace is ugly and reminds them of old doilies, other people swear by its timeless elegance. No rhyme or reason, it is what it is.
I don't know but if the dress with the Peter Pan collar was just a little bit more fitting around the waist, I would actually like it a lot.
Belts can cinch the waist.
If I HAD to upcycle that dress, I would have just cut off the skirt and hemmed it into a crop top. But I just love the collar, cuffs, and shoulder pads
No Peter Pan collar here.
Id have belted that dress...
I wore dresses like that in the 80s 😊
That brownish orange dress has so much potential 🧡
So sad she got rid of the peter pan collar tho! 😖
honestly it would've been super cute if she just chucked the shoulder pads and made it more fitted, maybe added a belt or belt effect
@@rivelle4783 ikr :((
I thought it would look great as a Blouse :)
It turned out amazing though
When they're calling all of these clothes ugly and I'm over here like "I think that's cool" or "I would totally wear that." 😬😬
😂
Yeah, I didn't think the cream colored dress was bad.
I thought the orange moon dress was really cool, just too big for her.
Literally same!!! 😂 Such a fun vid though
@@cbgb3369 yeah same
the orange dress with the collar was so cute 😭😭 im mourning its loss
same !
I know right?
same!!!
Me too! She ruined it
existing asaperson I was hoping she would make it a mini and take out the shoulder pads!
When they hate it and I like it.
Edit: Wow, thank you very much, guys, my comments have never had so many likes. Thanks again!
Anna Augustinová right!? The pants, the dress, the skirt, I would cop SO FAST
I am so sad that she ruined that cute collared dress.
Anna Augus
I would totally wear both dresses the way they were
I'm not like other girls 😜💁♀️
I think the real challenge is making them to something you’d *actually* wear in public, not something you make and then it’s forever lost in the closet.
true
Making something Marie Kondo would recommend you throw out. XD
TheBuzzyBee I think they’d actually wear these!
I saw this on the suggestion list and I thought it's a serious transformation,something like coolipa but I am so wrong......
@@TexPR1 They are not sewn very well. The neck of the beige dress will not wash well, and will not lay nice, since she rolled the edge under instead of cutting and sewing a proper facing.
Would have loved if you had bought the matching shirts and then DIY'd them to fit your personal styles!
I feel like with that extra piece of fabric from the cheetah skirt, Kelsey could probably make a cute crop top with black tube elastic straps and have a matching set
literally same
I was thinking, she could cut them in half and turn into a ruffle, that way the skirt is not that short...
Cutting the collar and cuffs of that dress was sacrilege
haha next level up could be Ugly Thrift Roulette - find a bunch of random 'ugly' pieces, throw 'em in a bag, and the challenge is to pull two random things and make them work...with each other! This was a fun video! Definitely at least do a part 2
I love this idea so much omg
I love this! XD
I actually loved the cheetah skirt and the orange collared dress on its own lol
I loke what she did with the collared dress but i would have kwpt the collar and the sleeves lol
Madison Clayton sammme could have just taken them in and accessorized.
Same
I think it would've looked better if she kept the coller and cuffs it kinda looks weird now? Lol
I didn't, but i loved that whispy tan dress with the embroidery, it hurt my heart a bit
Those 'ugly dresses' (the ones in the thumbnail) were literally so cute though tbh?? I would wear them exactly as they were lol.
RonHeartsMe same though!
Exactly! Maybe have them fit better on them - especially the orange polka dot dress I thought looked gorgeous, just big haha
RonHeartsMe same!!! Especially the one on the left
Both of the dresses looked so good honestly, beautiful vintage look (couldn't tell if they were vintage for sure but I suspect they were, especially the one with all the embroidery) & I thought they were just going to make them fitted, that's why I clicked on the video!
I didn't know they would massacre them. 😢💔
That dress with the collar had so much potential. I loved what she did with her hem but I think she could’ve left the sleeves with the collar as well
Honestly the “curtain” pants are kinda cute tho.
Oh no
I agree the low key cute😂
I knowwww i like them
Well...
I think they would have looked great with a fitted or slightly loose white top and stilletto booties and an updo
You guys should challenge Wendy!! Love this idea, shows how even the "ugliest" items have potential
Scrolled to the comments and saw this
@@withwendy *coughs* something for the "can she DIY it" playlist *cough*
For some video ideas:
1. Go thrifting blindfolded and then transform the item
2. Tranform the same item (for example the dress you showed at the beginning)❤️
Coolirpa just did a similar video you described.
Do a video showing how to makeover clothes at the thrift store for guys!!!!
Sofia Loren's grandmother made her a dress out of kitchen curtains and she won a beauty contest in it, leading to her being discovered by an agent. Would you both be up to do a thrift tablecloth or curtain dress challenge?
That's such an amazing story! Great challenge too.
Yeah, a la Gone With the Wind!
Press f for that gorgeous dress that got chopped in half
Kiyo f

UnFFFortunately, "down-cycling" does not contain an F.
I love the moon phase dress.
Right?! I want to know what brand it is/was.
Make ugly deco things work, yes please! Great work on this challenge girls!
That's a beautiful collar, what a waste.
Ok, but I love those bell bottoms the way they are! And the dresses are both really cute!
Right? I was expecting her to just style them without any alterations
The top of Becky's beige dress is crying for some interfacing to keep the neckline flat.
Or a bias binding. Since the neckline wasn't really curved she could have even used a straight strip to bind the top of the dress. It would look much better than this abomination :(
I was dying when she cut that part off
I'm glad someone said it
Oh my gosh yes. I was so thinking that so it would lay better and actually have a nice line. I think if they pressed a lil as they went it would make the seams look so much nicer and give a better overall look.
@@jlyn2812 😂
OMG, I thought those printed pants had NO fix and there was NO way they would work but they actually do!!! So impressed! And that leopard print skirt SO CUTE! I love DIY-ing and have taken inspiration and tips for so many things from your videos!! Thank you for sharing!
For the nude color dress, sewing it as a lining and an outer would have been better. This means laying the lining and the outer right sides together and then sewing along the neckline. You could even insert the ends of the shoulder straps in at this point too. Then flip the dress right sides out and you should have a nicely finished neckline! hope this helps!
I love the end result of the orange/tan dress! I think I would’ve kept the collar though....
Can you upcycle thrift items for use in a classroom?? Teachers spend sooo much of their own money...this would be so helpful!!
What kind of items? What age group is the teacher you're thinking of working with?
Maybe organization items....for teacher's desk, or student supplies or books. I'm an upper elementary teacher so 10-11 year olds.
Oh, that makes more sense. After watching this video, I thought maybe you meant with some sort of sewing project.
Are you looking for ways to get yourself organized, or things for the kids to use?
Both!
Haha, it is hard to be too organized. What's the number one thing that's driving you crazy?
It sounds like you need a starting point. Perhaps getting your desk area first would give you back that feeling of control
The dress Kelsey got for Becky was GORGEOUS.
I love that collared dress so damn much, and the fact that y'all defaced it made me wanna cry 😢
Those bell bottoms were adorable to start with. I’d so wear them
I love how you can use a drill but also whip out a sewing machine like nobody's business! Let's be real using a sewing matching is a bit more tricky to use than a drill or a hammer (barely learning to sew, so this perfect time for inspiration)~ Hello from Cali
“Wearing thrift flipped outfits for a week” 😌
The only part of this video I didn't like was the way the collared dress was constantly being referred to as "ruffled"...those are called PLEATS!
Otherwise, the ideas and process were super fun!
Just brush up on your sewing terminologies, they will be in any sewing book for beginners.
I added extra flare to my bell bottoms when I was a teenager back in the 60's and 70's. I used basically the same method. Thanks for the walk down memory lane! And I loved the new outfits you created. Blessings all!!!! 💜💜
OMG I love Ashley from Best Dressed, y'all should've linked her video
They have in the description
Oh good they added it!@@TahliaYoo
I would like a look book of only thrifted outfits that you had to fix or flip. Flipped thrifted items
I love when you guys challenge yourselves and each other, this was awesome! Definitely would love to see more! ❤️
Thanks! ✨ (We love your channel btw! Keep it up!)
TheSorryGirls Aaaaa!!!! Thank you!!!! I love y’alls content!!!
Omg, I love both your channels and you both come up with such cool and original ideas
I think I'm the only person, besides them, that genuinely did not like the original pieces lol
Your not alone! Lol I wasn't into them either
wanderer I only liked the cheetah skirt and it was a little too long anyways
I didn't like them before lmao but OMG I loved what she turned that orange piece into😭😭😭 So fucking cute.
OKAY BUT THAT SKIRT SET IS ADORABLE 😍
Also, Kelsey was wrong. The pinky/mauve tone to the color made it super flattering on her.
Wow Becky! I had no hope for those pants and was sceptical when you were doing them, but seeing them in the outfit, you really pulled it off! Love it!
idk if you’ve done this before but please thrift two of same dresses/clothing items and you both diy it differently in your style and we can judge who did it better since you started on the same base line with same clothes!
i'm so surprised you didn't make a cap sleeve crop and keep the collar on the tan dress ! preppy collars are so cute :O
i was thinking the skirt could've been some fitted biker shorts
Was thinking that about Becky's pants!
cuteycuteylala i think it wouldve been nice!
Ew lol
lol do u know how much harder it is to tailor shorts thats outa their paygrade
I thought so too, but I don't think that's really her style
A definite yes to seeing this challenge again!
Noted 💪🏻
I love this video! It promotes sustainability by proving that even "ugly" things at the thrift store can be turned into something cute. And a lot of the other pieces you styled the clothes with were also thrifted which was awesome.
I was so impressed by all four pieces! My favorite was Becky’s babydoll dress. I had no idea how she’d pull that off but the dress looked so cute and fit her really nicely!
I'd love to see you challenge coolirpa. You thrift home decor for coolirpa and she thrifts clothes for you and both of sorrygirls and coolirpa scetch out what fix up you would have done to the item you picked. And then coolirpa upcycles the homedecor and sorrygirls upcycle clothes and that would make me so happy :)
Madeleine Lange omg Yas I watch heeer
I am so fricken impressed with what Kelsey did with that dress
The moon phase dress was beautiful before, the cuft were perfect
I LOVE these outfits. I think something that would really elevate your videos like this would be the other's reactions to the piece you upcycle. You two have amazing personalities and I think having those extra blurbs would really pull it together.
wooooooooooow girls!!!!!!!!!! At the beginning I was like, what the hack can they do with those items...and you nailed it!!! AS ALWAYS. GOAL
Becky's dress turned out to be gorgeous! It looks like a designer piece. Im impressed
Omg the cheetah skirt would have looked so cute with a black turtleneck!!
My boyfriend and I would travel to visit my sister in her city... once she went off to work in the morning....we would go to the thrift and dollar stores and come back and redecorate her house with the tackiest stuff we could find! It was so much fun playing this joke on her. The three of us laughed so hard. The next day, the stuff all was redonated to the thrift store.
Yes do this with Leticia and Wendy
Oh yes :)
Jennifer too
Kelsey's crop top and skirt set turned out so well, like I would pay money for that!!!
I actually loved the flared pants 😅
Same
Kelsey was all like, "my only request is that you give me something with material that is easy to sew" then she's like, "so this fabric will probably be hard to work with" to Becky. Gee, what a pal! Lol.
How you turned those flare pants into boho bell bottoms was absolutely my favorite. You killed it.
I love the original dress Becky had to work with !!
1. Kelsey looks so good in that burnt orange color!
2. MORE OF THESE CHALLENGES!!!
3. Can you do no-sew clothing projects?
This video was so much better than the previous one (tacky aisle)!
I really like it when they actually sew instead of using hot glue.
Becky really came through with her pieces (Kelsey also did well but Becky's were my fave!)
am i the only one who actually loves the orangey collared dress??? ha ha loved the vid :)
Like over %70 of people like them
Next rule: you turn it in to something you would actually wear! As in it doesn't get thrown in the bin after filming.
Saw your "how many diys have you kept video" and I was disappointed by the amount of diys that you threw out.
Love your videos girls.
HelloBetty They don’t usually throw them out. They usually gift them to other people. I know Daniella has a lot of them.
@@usernamemadison ok I'll edit my answer to throw out/give away/donate.
I've seen them wearing clothes and jewelry they made in videos.
It's just a bit too easy to make something "wearable". No shade. Just wanting a reality check.
Great video! First timer to your channel. This is great seeing that sewing practice is being done by the younger generation and it not a lost art. Really like both your styling and the up style of your thrifted finds. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you in the days to come.
Becky, im impressed how you accually made those pants cute. I had no faith, but you proved me wrong. Also what Kelsey did with that dress is just adorable
Can you please make another plant video? I’m moving into my first apartment and want to grow my plant family but all of the cute pots/plant stands/hanging planter either don’t have drainage or are too expensive. I would love to see a thrifted/dollar store plant video for inspiration!!! :)
Just get cheap plastic pots with a dish at the bottom and use old clothes you don’t wear anymore and make a Little bag/case thing around it and it looks soooo good.
Kelsey wins cause I love her up-cycles and Becky wins for picking those awesome items for Kelsey ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeees! Do more! This is very creative and gives new life and new hope for old unwanted things. We need to get inspired more often to recycle nowadays.
Omg as much as I want to cry because I loved that orange dress, it turned out so so cute. Glad it’s now something they can get uses out of
Those flared pants would've also looked nice if you used a black lace 😏 And the orange outfit was my fav!
My grandma would have totally wore those before pieces. I loved her quirky style ❤
ha ha do would mine !!
Loving the thrift shop challenge! Creatively transforming well made, but terribly outdated clothing into useful garments, is fun to watch and inspiring.
The brown dress would have been cute cut like overalls, with a bib in the front and then using the excess fabric as he straps that would cris cross in the back. But I like what you did too.
Do you actually wear these clothes once the video is done?
Brenda Gorham yes they do if you watch their vlog channel you would know.
@@peony990 I just wondered because some of them are so cute
you guys are so creative❤️✨
Both of you nailed it on the remakes. I liked the leopard skirt before anything was done, but cute on Kelsey with the change. loved the pants Becky did and I might do that with some of my pants. The ugly dress alterations are both really cute on the two of you, but I wouldn't wear them, so my favorite is the boho pants! Way to go Becky!
while i was watching i was thinking about how and what i would change and its so fun to see into what you guys turned it!!! love this
I love all your videos, I learn so many things with you❤️❤️ love you both from Argentina
Its too bad she cut the top off that dress, the embroidery near the neckline was really interesting and I think It would have been cute to just re imagine the neckline using that "V" shaped embroidery as a guide. To shorten the dress and keep the tiers you could have cut off the tiers, shortened the dress and then reattached them at that top seam. Also w those "boho" pants, I really liked that she expanded it with that fabric but I think faux suede was the wrong material choice. At first I thought it was really cute, but after seeing it on the material seems to be a bit too thick and doesnt really blend well with the other, more flowy, material. It would have been really cool if you also thrifted a lace curtain or something and added that instead. You could dye a white/off white material a darker/brown color to match the pants better with tea ;). I also think that the lacing turned out looking kinda tacky. It would have looked cuter, in my opinion, if she had cut another triangle from the waistline, added a "privacy panel" of sorts (using the same material she expanded the flare with),and then added the grommets in a "V" shape around where the privacy panel is sewn. (in my head) this looks better because it looks like an actual closing to the pants and not as tacked on. This would have been more difficult though because obviously the fabric had a lot of stretch to it so idk.
I still think everything turned out really cute!
the pants would look marginally better if she topstitched the panel in rather than sewed it right sides together
I actually like here flared pants. That orange dress on the other had... Is just badly styled. The top is my only problem. It look half done and trashy. Like she should have kept the collar and sleeves and just took out the shoulder pads while make it more form fitting. The skirt is fine I guess, not alot of effort to make one. Sorry
@@fedoralars i think its just the fact that her last step in sewing that panel should be sewing a topstitch on it. there was no problem with sewing it right sides together first as that is the correct way to do it (at least in how ive learned it). THEN topstitching it :)
Rosaline Carissa Averina In a costume shop I do a lot of weird alterations so I did something similar to this a year ago. I’ve just found that inserting godet type shapes in a ready made garment look better when they are only topstitched in. It allows the point at the top to lay nicer. Otherwise you should undo more of the side seam, sew one side of the godet, and then start sewing up the pant leg on the other side of the godet at the hem and blend your stitch line into the point and the original side seam and being judicious about pressing and clipping
@everyone where is your channel, I genuinely wanna watch 🥺
I loved the dress Kelsey transformed it looked so nice
Hilarious that 2:17 was like ‘omg Dalmatian print! That would be impossible!’ but fast forward to 2020, anyone would kill for that
To be honest. I wasn't happy with the results.
Me neither. How long have these girls been sewing? They stood up to sew at the machine. They looked awkward using the straight pin. On that champagne color dress, what kind of sloppy finished edge was that on the top of the dress!? I watched a couple of their videos and not impressed. I mean kudos for the effort or lack of, but not impressed.
Slightly disappointed with the orange dress, it reminded me of something from reformation and could’ve turned out so pretty! But apart from that everything turned out great girls 😘
Great challenge. I sew A LOT and would never have come up with your upcycled ideas. Such a good job by both of you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Kelsey’s first outfit with the cheetah print skirt with the tights boots and coral pink sweater with black backpack. I thought that outfit was adorable
Yaaay a new video! Best thing to watch after a long day of work.😍👍🏻
*who else loves their thrift flips?😍*
- also a diy youtuber btw
I love the aesthetic of your channel!
Wow, you girls are amazing. Love both thrifted styles that you created. Your creative juices were definitely flowing. Can’t wait to see more.
You two are sooo talented. Love these challenges. Great ideas to copy.
I love the dresses so much. I'm going to try and sew something like them.
Watching you choping them up was torture
Those pants totally look like something Becky would wear and rock
Oh my gosh! I LOVE! So creative, I’d love to binge watch a series! Please make more of these!
This was so cool to watch! I love seeing what you find at the thrift store and how you can make it even more unique!
More, more, more thrift flips!!!
That dress with the collar and sleeves was so cute before you chopped it up :(
Loved this! Great job on all the remakes-- DO MORE!!
omg... I actually saw a pair of pants EXACTLY like those, the heavy floral slightly stretchy brocade-kinda material...just two weeks ago... at a Savers thrift store... in the Twins Cities metro area of Minneapolis. I actually liked them, and in my size, but I was at a loss what to do with them. Unbelievable! What a transformation. Great work, ladies! ...and I cannot believe I actually saw these pants twice !
