Making a $400 Dress out of Bedsheets *cuz i'm cheeeeaap*

This dress is SO flattering on you. As a professional, you're getting better. Ruffles are usually circumfrence of whatever its being attached to x 2.5-3. Additionally, the "moral issue of duping" does not apply to home seamsters; it's been a practice for hundreds of years. It's only problematic if you sell it for profit!

I LOVE "simpler" videos like this, although objectively this is more complex and impressive sewing that most people ever do in modern times.

Rachel: I hope this isn't too boring for you 🥺 Most of us: We'd watch you make bed sheets if it came with your humor and antics.

Fun tip for anyone new to sewing- as long as you buy cheap fabric to start with, dont worry too much about messing it up, the peices can always be used to make something else easy, like a reusable grocery bag, cut up into filling for a throw pillow, patches on ripped garments, lining or pocket material for another project, anything patchwork! Edit: omg i love the frog and toad shirt!!!!

Literally Rachel is the first youtuber that really made me want to start sewing. I love people like Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner but they're both so good at what they do already that it felt so daunting to start. Watching Rachel progress and learn but still put herself out there on the internet fully gave me the confidence to start sewing and I've now made multiple garments. None are perfect, but they're getting better every time i make something new and I don't feel so pressured into perfection knowing that I'm learning and it's okay.

Holy shit, this video shows how much you have grown in your sewing journey! A) you made a mock-up B) you used twill tape for longevity C) you said “hmm, I think this dress might be too simple for this video” and when you first started, you were just figuring out how to make a circle skirt!! I wanted to note these things in case you didn’t notice them ✨ 🤗 👏

rachel being goofy after frolicking through the fields make me wonder if models for classical paintings hundreds of years ago were also unhinged after being literal art

I don't think simpler/easy dresses are boring at all!!!! I'm a beginner so it helps me to see that you can make whimsical and beautiful clothing with relatively simple patterns

“I’m beginning to think this dress is a little too simple for a video” says the woman who literally DRAPED A PATTERN FOR IT! This literally just gave me the confidence to tackle a project like this myself!

Rachel worrying about if a project is interesting enough in the same video she 69’s her dress form will never not be hilarious 😂

It turned out SO PRETTY!! Gosh i need to learn how to sew >.< Edit to comment on dress remakes: I think there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with making a dress yourself even if that dress is identical to something you saw in a store or online. It would only be problematic if you claimed to have created the design yourself or were remaking and selling someone else's design.

18:48 I love how from one shot to the next the flower goes from being ripped from the earth in its entirety to prettily cut 😂. The magic of cinema!!

Honestly padding the dress form to fit you, instead of wasting more money on a custom made one, is genius, GENIUS!

Rachel is the definition of ✨chaotic energy✨

Rachel's saga of sewing garments where the fit of the bodice slowly improve each time has truly come to a satisfying conclusion XD. The technical improvement on this dress is amazing and I think it really speaks to how much you enjoyed this project and have learnt over the years. Keep doing what you do best and enjoy the ride <3

this is probably one of like two youtube channels where i do NOT skip the sponsored ad because rachel is just such a vibe

As always, we give gratitude to Rachel for daring to cross tick-covered fields in order to give us these amazingly romantic-aesthetic frolicking scenes <3

"You've seen rebel without a cause, now get ready for chaos without a pattern!"

The dress is gorgeous! Also, I get snappy minis and all, but we can't ever let ourselves forget that our skills, energy and time are also worth a lot! It cost you 15 dollars, plus years of knowledge, plus all the materials you already owned, plus your valuable time! It was totally worth it, the project is amazing, but it cost a lot more than 15 bucks, because you and your talent are worth a lot more than that!

This was wonderful. I sew a lot and that bodice is staying up because you fit it PERFECTLY and gave it great structure with the boning! Chef’s kiss!
