you did a nice job. that hairbraid hem was the bane of my existence this past prom season. I think every single dress this year had hairbraid hem and it's really tough to shorten because you have to take it out, clean all the threads off and put it back in at the new length. without all the rippling. I charge a lot because it's a miserable thing to do. I think you should do more wedding dresses. could be fun
coolirpa I've been doing alterations for a long time. I'm old. it's a good idea to get some practice on a wedding dress that doesn't belong to anybody because brides are INSANE. they will make you cry
And that's why I'm so afraid to do a wedding dress. The pressure is awful but the rewards of their satisfaction seems so worth it in the end. It's a very special occasion so it can be nerve wrecking.
This was so stressful and i'm not even getting married yet lol! It's been a long time since I touched up on my fine dressmaking skills so I thought i'd transform a formal gown this time. I'm so rusty! I hope this helps you out and saves you some money :)
coolirpa this turned out just like my wedding dress I wore! I literally did a double take at the thumbnail! Dang I so wish I could post a picture! It’s uncanny!! Maybe this link will work! facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10207371866918552&set=a.10204044574618324&type=3
coolirpa you look so beautiful in that dress if surprised your boyfriend didn't proposed it looks so good on you, I can't emagine how you gonna look when you do decide to get merried,:-), thank you for showing your talent, I have few dresses that I would love to give them a new look, thank you, keep doing wedding transformation
I am currently making my own wedding dress now for my wedding in December. Yes it is very stressful. I would like to see you do another one. I'm glad you did the horsehair and petty coat parts because I have not gotten to those stages yet and will need to know how to do that as I have never made a dress before and this is all new and I am teaching myself along this process. I have chosen also to put a sequin pattern all over the dress because it's based off a haute couture dress I fell in love with. Unfortunately the sequin I chose for it did not come prestrung so I had to teach myself how to hand string them and them apply them following the pattern I drew up. Girl!! I am only halfway done and and I have thousands more sequins to go!! It has been so challenging and stressful but I am so glad I attempted it. I'm so proud of my progress and I can't wait to show the world when I am done. It is so awesome that I get to watch youtubers like you because that helps out so much when I am stuck on something and can't figure out what to do to get past it. Thanks for all the work you put into making creations and filming them, and sharing that process so the world can get a glimpse of how to do it so they can do it too, following your guidance!! I know this was long but I can totally relate to your struggle. :)
I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend at all - seam ripper or not. But then ...i keep watching these transformation videos and stuff instead of socialising
Yes more bridal transformations! I see so many big poofy wedding dresses with lots of lace and beads all the time at Goodwill. Would love to see what you can do with something like that.
Great job! I worked for two different wedding gown designers and made my own wedding dress years ago. I worked with horsehair many times but never saw it that wide. I had a great time making my dress (and bridesmaids dresses) with my mom. Something I will never forget. :) Happy sewing!
Admittedly, probably a lot of seam ripping, but transformations? Oh, you have that *nailed* because brides clamor for customisations. Speaking as a woman who still hopes to get married, I'm going to be a very non-standard 4'11" and never quite 100 lb: this is not exactly a standard size, and I live in fear of being shown to the children's section since nothing can be done for me. But if someone like you were working with the shop, maybe they'd be able to show me more options.
@@radioserrelind I'm 4' 10 3/4" and luckily wedding dresses run so small (like 1-2 sizes smaller) it's a bit easier to find things to fit you. My only (possibly yours too) issue on most things is that they are too long. But that's easily adjustable.
I rather like the pleats not completely poofed! It gives it a nice box pleat, structural element that works with the simplicity of the design. Very elegant!
Overall, It's beautiful. Wedding dresses and horsehair and petticoats are a major pain. That's why I had to charge so much as a dressmaker and people don't really understand all of the work that it entails. They'll say, oh, but it's a really simple design. The design can be deceptive. One suggestion for the hem .... You can cover the awkward look of the stitching with some lace trim (iron on would be easiest). If you add a few simple lace touches elsewhere, it will look intentional.
You do amazing work! What visions you see that others cannot see. It is a gift. Protect it at all costs and do not let anyone take that from you. I would like to see more wedding dresses remix!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time! My sister just got me a silver gown for $2 at a thrift store and I don’t know what to do to it or how.Great video like always and the dress is beautiful
I know you've done it to prom dresses but I'd love to see you turn an old wedding dress (the real 80s and 90s poofers or suits) into one with modern flare. Love your videos, you do such a great job! :D
It looks great! Ive seriously considered wearing my moms wedding dress from 1993 and its beautiful but its got these MASSIVE puffy sleeves (think the little mermaid ariels wedding dress) that we both agree should go if i decide to use it
Hi April! I am from the Philippines and I am such a fan of your transformations since year 2015. So much that it inspired me to become one so I attended a dressmaking training. Right after I learned how, I started doing gowns which helped a lot. Because I was able to make my own wedding gown and the rest of my bridesmaids' gowns. Thanks so much for the inspiration and will continue to watch your transformation videos that up to now amazes and inspires me how brilliant and talented you are. :) Keep it up! And thanks also for sharing easy sewing hacks and techniques.
This diy project is an eye opener for those who own bridal shops and would want to make altrations or add more embellishments to their products.Thank you for such tutorial.I hope to try my hands on this diy project.Once again thanks.
That dress is so beautiful! As a seamstress for bridal/formal wear, I'm impressed by your patience, especially stitching that horsehair by hand. If you wanna made the bottom more full, see if you can get some crinoline instead of tulle. Crinoline is stiffer, and that's what is normally in bridal gowns (hemming crinoline is the bane of my existence). For gowns that are puffy or flare, the crinolines are 15+ yards around (hence why I hate hemming it), and normally there are 3 layers stacked on top of each other, each with different fullnesses.
I love the dress and I love this style. I have seen some beautiful ones where they use a 1/4 circle of soft tulle in a contrasting colour in the inserts or a 1/8 circle of lace or a fabric with a contrasting texture in the inserts as well.
You inspired me to make my own wedding dress! I found a $10 sheer dress and have been adding layers to it and tailoring it to what I want it to be. Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!
Please please please do more wedding dresses! I'm getting married next year and as a beginner level sewist tackling my dress feels super overwhelming so I would love to see more of these!
wow so beautiful! I wish I had seen this video before my wedding last april. I also thrifted a full lace dress and had added godets (6 of them!) with tulle poufing attached to inner lining material. mine did not flare out nearly as much as I had wanted it to and after watching your video, I see why. Yours turned out perfect~! thank you for sharing and please continue to add more videos like this :D you are amazing!!!
Wow this turned out so nice!! You're so humble when you were sewing the horse hair braid on because you admitted to making mistakes, but used them to help us learn from them. I liked the flower beading, and I wished you left it on or did some new design with beads since the end product was a little plain. I liked how you turned the straight design of the dress into a mermaid design.
You did a beautiful job! I've sewed for years, and you have inspired me to try some these types of diy sewing projects. I mainly do blankets, baby clothes and the like. Great job!!
The dress looks great! I've never worked with horsehair braid so it was a helpful to see how you managed it and you gave good tips. Hope you'll do more of these.
i think last year i told you we have the same ruler. i recently went out and bought that large green mat. to help me with my larger projects. I used that small clear one. westcott and alvin are a must for crafters and diy-ers imo. oh and i paint, mixed media work, and i like to design rooms. btw you look beautiful and you did a beautiful job
Oh my gosh your sowing skills are amazing. You have soo much patience. I would have given up. That looks like a lot of work. And it came out beautiful. You need to open your very own clothing Boutique.
Fantastic job!! Would love a series on this - next up, a super whimsical tulle a-line wedding dress! Hopefully the right dress comes into your path to thrift and transform!!!
It is a beautiful transformation! Quilters will sometimes have to ease in seam issues like you had in your hem. If the horsehair brade can take heat you could try "Steam a Seam". You may want to test it out on a mock up first. Good luck.
You can take out the handstitch on the hh braid and just tack it to the seams. Its so wide it will stay up. Most hh braid in gowns is encased in the lining then attached to hem of gown 😊
Love the wedding dress. I just got married last Saturday. I got my wedding dress at a thrift store for $10. It's this old vintage flowy lace dress. I just changed the top of the dress to make it look more modern. Got rid of the mock neck and added a boat neck. Then added a v shape to the back. A friend did it for me.
This is amazing!! I have been wanting to see a wedding dress transformation!! You did not disappoint! I would love to see more wedding dress transformations in the future!!!
Omg! This is perfect! I have been following you for a few years and I’m getting married next month. A sweet coworker gave me a dress she bought at a garage sale and I’m going to alter it for my big day! I would love to see you do more wedding dresses
awesome transformation! I love that kind of design (i felt it especially fit me when I was in my early 20s ... 10 years ago! but not now after my first kid in my 30s). I really love what you did. when you do have your wedding, I hope you also show us your wedding dress design. You can post that way after you come back from your honeymoon
I'm loving the flare and I feel it's just enough. Let's not forget to consider the groom will want to get close to his bride but with a huge flaring dress he will need to stand away from all that fabric. Lol. And that 1st close dance would be awkward ☺️. Beautiful dress!
Stunning! If the stain from the beads is noticeable, adding a subtle lace appliqué could add richness without ruining the clean, modern look of this dress.
Please do more wedding dress transformations! Or other wedding DIYs please. I'm getting married in about 1,5 year and really want some great DIYs. I also want to make my own/have my mom make my dress out of a second hand wedding dress.
Hello April! WOW it was amazing how your wedding dress transformation turned out! I will be making a wedding dress for my upcoming wedding in August 2019. I am planning to make it from scratch however after watching this video, I might be trying a thrift store transformation as well :) I would love to see more wedding dress transformations!

My late grandparents were a tailor and a seamstress. My mom can sew, too, but she's out of practice from aging. I took a sewing class in middle school and never got good at it. :( haha I love watching all your transformations and told my nieces to check out your channel in hopes of gaining inspiration to learn to sew. Well done, April, as always. That hair braid hem looks scary. lol
Breathtaking April so amazed by this. I would love to see more wedding dress makeovers. I brought a wedding dress pattern but was too scared to make my own dress.
This turned out beautifully. I think the fit and flare is perfect even though you said you wanted it poofier. Love your creative vision to even reimagine a new design! I just subscribed. 💓
Love this new series idea! And honestly seeing you struggle a little lol you're always so creative and things come out perfect it was fun to see a little vulnerability 😋
Recently just binged watched this series! Really inspired me to get a sewing machine since i already do love thrifting! So excited with the possibilities!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ashili Mcelhaney that’s why I bought a simple lace dress with some sparkle for my wedding. It doesn’t need any alterations.
Do you design wedding gowns?
This was so stressful and i'm not even getting married yet lol! It's been a long time since I touched up on my fine dressmaking skills so I thought i'd transform a formal gown this time. I'm so rusty! I hope this helps you out and saves you some money :)

A boyfriend that helps you seam rip 😍 he’s a keeper!
Destiny Reidel My bf is so afraid of getting anywhere near a needle😹
Yasssssss
I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend at all - seam ripper or not.
But then ...i keep watching these transformation videos and stuff instead of socialising
So true
Yes more bridal transformations! I see so many big poofy wedding dresses with lots of lace and beads all the time at Goodwill. Would love to see what you can do with something like that.
I second this!!!
Especially since goodwill takes out their wedding dresses for the Halloween season, which has already started
10/10 would watch EVERY SINGLE ONE
I would love to see another wedding dress transformation but in a completely different style.
The most id be able to dois remove the sleeves lol
1:16 couples who seam rip together stay together
Despite the problems you said about it not flaring enough I really like how it flares. It not too much but also very shapely.
Great job! I worked for two different wedding gown designers and made my own wedding dress years ago. I worked with horsehair many times but never saw it that wide. I had a great time making my dress (and bridesmaids dresses) with my mom. Something I will never forget. :) Happy sewing!
That is so sweet! I hope to do the same one day. And yes I picked it up from the LA Fashion Disctrict it't 6 inches wide :D
April, this was exquisite! If you hone these skills, you could so easily get work at a bridal salon -- I think you'd be brilliant at it, really.
Aww thank you Mari! I can only imagine all the work that goes on in a bridal shop! Seam ripping seam ripping! lol

I swear that every bridal shop was convinced I should be Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind, and I was 29!

This should be a series. The dress turned out so beautiful. I loved it
Clever girl. And you model your creations perfectly.
One of the prettiest dresses I've ever seen.
I enjoy how u practice on items that r used and learn along the way, I love doing pleating and practicing on thrift items to.
Oh my God, April this is so good. The dress looks so flipping cute. Great job.

Yes, please, I would love to see another wedding dress transformed!
You are SO talented and creative! I can’t imagine being able to do anything remotely like this. Your channel is fabulous and so are you.
awesome transformation! I love that kind of design (i felt it especially fit me when I was in my early 20s ... 10 years ago! but not now after my first kid in my 30s). I really love what you did. when you do have your wedding, I hope you also show us your wedding dress design. You can post that way after you come back from your honeymoon

Hello April! WOW it was amazing how your wedding dress transformation turned out! I will be making a wedding dress for my upcoming wedding in August 2019. I am planning to make it from scratch however after watching this video, I might be trying a thrift store transformation as well :) I would love to see more wedding dress transformations! Thank you for sharing
I would LOVE to see a transformation on a chiffon/flowy or heavily beaded dress. Something mystical!
Beautiful job. This could also be used in conjunction with sewing a princess dress from scratch.
You r such an artistic person. Don’t tell me you learned that all that sewing through books 📚 on your own. Great job
My late grandparents were a tailor and a seamstress. My mom can sew, too, but she's out of practice from aging. I took a sewing class in middle school and never got good at it. :( haha I love watching all your transformations and told my nieces to check out your channel in hopes of gaining inspiration to learn to sew. Well done, April, as always. That hair braid hem looks scary. lol
You did such a beautiful job on this dress. And definitely more DIY wedding dress makeovers.
Yes!!! More wedding dresses!!! You did so well on this one
Love this wedding grown transformation! It was with all the extra hard work and trouble.
Breathtaking April so amazed by this. I would love to see more wedding dress makeovers. I brought a wedding dress pattern but was too scared to make my own dress.
That looks beautiful!! You did a great job. Can’t wait to see you design your wedding dress!
I hope you do more wedding dress transformations! That was gorgeous!
You’re such a breath of fresh air! This is one of my fave episode!
Hi April. I would love to see more wedding dress transformations. ❤
You really are so amazingly talented; I don't even sew (yet), but I love your channel. Thank you for sharing!!
That dress turned out beautiful 😍😍😍 make more wedding dress transformations!!!
You did a very good job for your first wedding dress, well done.
I would adore more wedding dress transformations! I think you did a wonderful job considering it's your first wedding dress ❣
Aww. I thought you were gonna give an announcement. Haha. It's okay tho. Marriage is a big step. Beautiful work as always April.
Wow, you did a beautiful job April!
This turned out beautifully. I think the fit and flare is perfect even though you said you wanted it poofier. Love your creative vision to even reimagine a new design! I just subscribed. 💓
Well done! 300 percent improvement on what it was like before!💐. You are a talented seamstress🌞
Wow April! This is so nice! You did awesome! I want to try a dress like this but from scratch. You inspire me!
I would love to see u thrift some more wedding dresses love watching what u do ur awesome
Really nice! The original dress was an incredible bargain! Thanks for your step by step.
Love this new series idea! And honestly seeing you struggle a little lol you're always so creative and things come out perfect it was fun to see a little vulnerability 😋
Yes..wedding dresses (this is beautiful). And a seasonal series on costumes (kids and adult) or cosplay, please.
That’s impressive! You took an otherwise white satin dress, and you turned it into a beautiful mermaid fit gown
I love the dress. I wonder if you can dye the fabric so that you can wear it to a regular formal occasion
