I thought this was gonna be some sort of biodegradable dress but finding out theres fabric that looks like real food is more interesting 🤔

Not just any cocktail dress, a prawn cocktail dress. Are the earrings lemon slices? Just perfect if they are. I'm so glad I found this channel, it's been an absolute delight seeing your creations.

Thank you so much the earrings are lemon slices 😂

This is wild! Can't believe how you put these things together! A word on pronunciation, though, from a French teacher -- the shiny fabric is la-MAY. (lamé)

Can recall someone once saying we should never feel bad upon discovering we have mispronounced a word we only ever saw in print, because that means we are well-read individuals. 😊📚 (which is not meant to imply you had intended her to feel bad - only to inform!)

@@tejaswoman Very true :-) These loan words from other languages are always tricky, IMO.

I've never watched a sewing video, and so glad I clicked on this! Really fun, amazing knowledge without being patronising, well edited- the praise could go on. You are so talented, it's incredible to watch you work! So impressive🎉🎉🎉

Thank you I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 💕💕

Table cloths dont lay straight of grain on the whole table anyway. This is so stunning. I'm also obsessed with the idea that the shrimp are removable. That is so ingenious.

Very cute. I am very allergic to shrimp, but you know this looks like a non-allergenic shrimp situation 😊 I love the skirt so much

Realize it's kind of off topic, but somehow this makes me think of a college student I once had in class who was so ailurophobic that a mere folder with an IMAGE of a cat could set her off 😱 Couldn't help thinking how hard it must be getting through life if not even pictures felt safe. My point being, glad you can enjoy at least artistic shrimp 🦐

How fun is this?! Serena, you did that! Happy Holidays to you and your family, as well as to all your Subscribers!

This might be the vintage dress equivalent to ugly holiday sweaters and it turned out SO beautiful. Love that you used pins on the shrimp. ❤ Merry Christmas!

How fun and creative! I keep telling you, you will get a deal from media production groups and the Big Four pattern companies very soon. Here is to your fabulous Christmas dress. Many happy returns for the New Year

OMG I love this. So creative and fun. You are right, it screams iconic 1950’s Christmas. Amazing job.

This cracked me up and made me smile so much! It’s so great! You are so talented. Have a wonderful Christmas ❤

Hilarious and adorable! I never would have thought of a shrimp cocktail dress in a million years! You are a genuine original and impeccable designer!

You did a fantastic job. I just love the dress. Makes me hungry!!! Also, I love the shoulder straps on the dress. The fit is so flattering on you. I have to visit Gert and grab that pattern.

You are definitely runway material in this dress. I have watched a million KZread videos and I can say: NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN A VIDEO LIKE THIS ONE! What an imagination you have!🍤🍤🎄☃️❤

That’s such a fun dress. It’s a head turner and people are going to really admire it. I love that pattern, the shape of the top is adorable 🥰

i think this is so adorable! how cute!!!

This is so deliciously camp. 10/10 you’re amazing

That is so clever! I love the main fabric. I kept envisioning Carmen Miranda! You did a great job

Love as I listen to you describing how to make it and what the different tips are, the notion that the more people who watch this, the greater the odds get that somebody, somewhere, in some part of the planet, might actually follow the instructions and make the dress again! (Maybe with the lamé so we can find out if one really _does_ have to explain it or whether people get the idea. That said, I think you at your parties will be a little more comfortable in this particular print than you might have been in lamé.)

Super cute! (My extra take is that the gloves are the “cocktail sauce”!) 😆

You did an amazing job, I love this!🍤❤🍤

Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious! Wish I'd thought of this when my middle daughter was really into swing dancing! She's now a chef!

That outfit is hilarious and clever.😂😂 Awesome job!

So stinking cute! What a clever idea.

This is incredible! The removable shrimp pins are brilliant!

This is absolutely hilarious and fantastic!!! Lettuce appreciate the glorious shrimp!!! 🦐 😂

I literally can not express how much I love this dress using mere words! This is so creative and so much FUN!! ❤❤❤❤

You are such a one-of-a-kind talented and creative woman! I love mid century fashion and decor. I just love your 60s mod wallpaper, too! If I could sew, you’d be my guru! I love your aesthetic. Absolute perfection!! ❤

I love the dress and would love to see it in a more elegant fabric, but for sheer party delight, this version can't be beat.

so cute, so extra!

Absolutely stunning. Although you would look amazing in anything.😊

I am so excited that I ran into your channel I’m in my 60s and I love 40s and 50s vintage clothing. I bought several off Amazon and I wish I could sew like you.

I love this idea!! It’s so adorable and fun and the Christmas fabric is STUNNING ❤ Have a very Merry Christmas!! 🎄

I made goofy little Santa hat ornaments whilst listening to your fun project.

This dress is my favorite creation of yours! Your imagination is brilliant. I never realized sewing could be so much FUN!❤Now, let’s EAT😋

Hahaha thanks! I try to break from serious sewing every once in a while

A very creative project-as always. I do my own gel nails, too. It’s nice to know the UV LED lamp can be used for arts and crafts, too. I had no idea that there was such realistic fake food. 🥰

Your sewing machine! I just noticed her! I had that machine in a darker, greenish colorway. Due to a mishap, I had to let her go. Still miss her, though. She was a champ!

Shrimptastic!!! That took some skill. Looking forward to watching your videos in 2024.

Girl what? 😂 The interaction between you and your friend, "this would make a good hat" and then you go "oh you're right lemme just 🪡💃" is wild. The fact that there's you and this dress is novel enough but there's an acomplice? Amazing.

Creative genius. Love your dress 👗 ❤️ 🇬🇧

I had no idea what to expect from the title of the video but this was extremely entertaining 😂 and the dress turned out so cute!

I love the whole outfit💕I love shrimp and I’m glad you made this beauty! Happy Holidays ✨🎄

I love that you needed a really amazing dress to go with the hat. I love that pattern.

I truly appreciate when you tell of your challenge/difficult aspects of a garment you've made, while not letting that stop you from creating it again. This came out so beautiful. I love the fun shrimp lettuce details. The finished project so unexpected. 🙆🏾‍♀️👏🏾👍🏾

That is an adorable dress. Defs made the right choice with the fabric.

It's perfect!!! You are a genius and it totally reads as an appetizer, especially with the hat!

Oh girl I love the way you styled this outfit. On the sofa scene is marvelous

Wow! This is fabulous! Who else could come up with a shrimp dress for holidays?😂 I love it 👏 Thank you for this wonderful entertainment. And you you look stunning. Happy holidays!

This is adorable and cute and funny (in a cute way)! You are such a smart lady! Love your content!

It so brought a smile to my face 😀❤. I think your giving Gaga a run for the money 😅! I had a thought while watching but please disregard if you have already thought/ done it. A detachable overskirt made of the shiny fabric. As layers of sometimes different fabrics or colour give fascinating effects. Merry Christmas and all the best! 🩷🙏🎄

I absolutely love it!

I love this idea!

I'm obsessed! This drrss is so cool

Wow, just wow ! Tablecloth screams full skirt! Haha

Stop!! I absolutely LOVE this!!!!!

I'm in love! it's so whimsical!!

Wow absolutely gorgeous work, this is the sewing dream

You so remind me of myself at your age! I loved sewing such fun things as you do! Merry Christmas!❤

I loved everything about this outfit! 🍤 The lettuce looks so real. The switch to the print fabric was nice too. Merry Christmas 🎄

Lovely dress. Hope you're the talk of the town. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉

I love this outfit, this is just delightful! ❤❤❤ Also the pattern: fill the bra cups with foam. Sewrina: I’ll be filling up the bra cups with my 🥬 ✨ *creativity* ✨ 🥬 😂 so cute 🥰

Brilliant and beautiful!

Totally amazing combination of nice finitions and funny elements, this Christmas dress rocks ! ( Sorry for my akward english but I hope you can percieve my admiration....french subscriber here!)

If you had been a contestant on project runway, you would win first prize!

Psst the metallic fabric is pronounced lah-may. This project is everything! As soon as I saw the artificial lettuce my eyes just lit up. Your vision and execution are just a delight- I love the idea of doing something surreal to wear but just beautiful as a garment.

The dress outfit is awesome thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas and happy New Year ❤😊 13:31
