She should try buying one of those really cheap like terrible $5 ebay dresses and turn it into a dress thats not horrific.

I would love to have a cousin like you!! Any problems with my clothes, you can fix them for me haha!

My sister-in-law is handy with a sewing machine. She took in a dress for me with a bustline that was too large. To repay her, I babysat my 2.5-year-old nephew.

REUPLOADED because i left out the "BEFORE" pictures in the beginning! :( I feel better that its there now lol :) Hope you enjoy!

coolirpa, I couldn't find the hem tutorial and question why you gave 2 inches extra on the hem is it too big the 2 inches for folding?

I've already picked this dress out for my senior prom! It's so gorgeous and this video was so helpful!

It's so satisfying to watch you cut fabrics with that pizza-cutter looking tool. I should get me one even though I dont sew 😂😂 Just to cut stuff

It's made specifically for cutting fabric. It's called a fabric rotary cutter.

this was extremely helpful and easy to understand. I am attempting to shorten my own dress without having to take it to a seamstress so thank you!

I'm 5ft, I can relate lol😭 You did an amazing job! 💕👏🏽

love this, she looks even more amazing!

I am fascinated by all the beauty you create

She got the dress from Lulu's and I love Lulu's because they have very tall models with nearly identical body types to me so their stuff always fits me perfectly. And they almost specialize in longer dresses so my butt doesn't hang out like in Forever 21 dresses

Ya think so? I'm 4'6 and 15 years old. And I'm not a midget, I was was just born that way from 5 foot parents. Yes. Yes I'm Asian. Honestly, I just shop for a bunch of supposed-to-be crop tops and wear them as normal shirts, since they fit just right on my waist 😂 I need to learn more from this channel.

I have found that the factory hem is not even, pretty much never. If you measure up from the edge you’re going to get the same uneven hem. It’s a good idea to pin the desired length all the way around, it doesn’t take that long.

You and your cousin look a lot alike! Gorgeous alteration!

Gorgeous!

Beyond helpful thank youu

Soo pretty!!

I had the same dress in red! 😊

Ok so I just randomly saw one of your videos( the prom dress you made out of two dresses one) and I was thinking how all the people who are scammed by online prom dresses or wedding dresses should hire you, and I saw this video, lol.. just letting you know that though I would never be able to do this, I am gonna subscribe!!!

Beautiful!

looks gorgeous :D

She looks beautiful. :)

awesome great work

Great job!

I got that same dress for prom in 2015 and even with the right size, i had to alter it in almost all the same spots. I kept the train though! The train adds a little something to the dress.

you are amazing gal!

Please can I just adopt you so you can change my frumpy wardrobe into beautiful stylish and unique creations??? ;-) Seriously, I need a bff with mad skillz like yours!!

she bought hers from lulus price is $179. Comes in 4 colors m.lulus.com/products/bariano-ocean-of-elegance-navy-blue-maxi-dress/117034.html Charlotte russe has a similar one for $59.99. Comes in 5 colors www.charlotterusse.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&keyword=+Cold+Shoulder+Sweetheart+Maxi+Dress Asos has a similar one for $73. Comes in 2 colors and 2 or 3 different skirt lengths. us.asos.com/ASOS-WEDDING-Drape-Cold-Shoulder-Maxi-Dress/18ot50/?iid=6004004&clr=Nude&SearchQuery=cold+shoulder+maxi&pgesize=27&pge=0&totalstyles=27&gridsize=4&gridrow=3&gridcolumn=1&mporgp=L2Fzb3MvYXNvcy13ZWRkaW5nLWRyYXBlLWNvbGQtc2hvdWxkZXItbWF4aS1kcmVzcy9wcm9kLw.. I bought the one from CR and I love it. The skirt doesn't have as much fabric so it doesn't flow as much, but for a fraction of the price I'll take it! I love this style of dress but it took me forever to find one for less than $100...

Wao ... that is a total different dress ...

Omg i love your videos ❤️😍😍😍😱

Thank you!

So the dress has to already have a slit? I'd really appreciate if you could make a tutorial for that!! Def subscribing!!!

Good job ☺

girl you're awesome I love you . SNAPFAAAAAM ( xoxo )

how do you cinch in the waist from the center back if your dress has the zipper in the way?

awesome!

good job!

Hey, cool. I think I've almost the same dress in red! :')

snap fammmm !!! 💖

machae allah it looks perry in you

I got that too for my prom dress haha 😂❤️ it was a little too long but I couldn't do anything about it ugh 😭

I have a prom dress and I wnat to add a slit to it, its chiffon with a fabric underneath. how would you add a slit that isnt there before. it was also a halter top that is floor length, is it possible to alter the arm holes so they are more curved?
