There is this TV show where they remake old dresses and it always turns out horrible! Great job! This both keeps the idea and integrity of the old dress, while still being wearable today :)
-
it is so apparent how much you cared about the dress and the human and the experience and the day- truly charming and sweet to watch.
-
Thank you for showing a dress update that still respects the memories that came before! I hate that show that takes the family wedding dress and rips it up to only use a tiny little bit of lace from it. This is a far better way to revive an old dress!
-
The fact that you re-did the part where your camera died shows us how dedicated and professional you are about your channel, thank you so much for that extra step you took!
-
I’m glad you didn’t pull a “something borrowed something new” where they completely change the old dress to the point where you can’t even recognise it. I find it so disrespectful to do that so you definitely did an amazing job.
-
You did a wonderful unintrusive job! The dress is still absolutely recognisable but not dated at all.
-
You know you’ve watched too much Micarah Tewers when you’re expecting the boning to be zip ties. 🤣
-
I'm sorry the camera died, but I very much appreciate the use of a contrasting fabric instead of white on white to demonstrate a new technique :)
-
I was a bit shocked by the thumbnail until I realized it's the "before" 😂 the dress turned out sooo pretty!
-
That's lovely. My mum had a similar style of dress to that and I loved standing on a chair to try it on growing up. Nowhere near getting married but do love the idea of up cycling it to a more modern and style that would suit me. Also taking a moment to appreciate that gorgeous horse too 🐴
-
So shocking seeing actual boning being used, I’ve gotten so used to seeing people use zip ties that it actually confused me for a moment 😂
-
This is how an original dress needs to be updated! Staying true to the integrity of the original dress- and what a beautiful dress it was wit such incredible and intricate lace and embroidery! Beautiful work!
-
This made me tear up all over again. You did a amazing job. Thank you so much.
-
Absolutely fantastic. You truly modernized the sleeves. As a quilter, I enjoy watching you use the walking foot in garment structuring. Excellent April.
-
This is so beautiful. I wore my mom's wedding dress from the late 80s. It was a very similar dress. I took off the sleeves entirely and kept the mesh with the necklace. We added bust support and lace detailing around the arm holes. I really love these adjustments too!!
-
This is so beautiful! I love seeing wedding dresses being remade, but sometimes they end up not even looking close to the original. I love how you can still clearly see that it's the same dress, but just a little bit more modern!
-
i love how she explains it like its instructions as if any of us are following a tutorial. Im just hear to watch you work your magic! I don't know what a princess seam is!
-
I recently started sewing and it’s really made me appreciate the skill that’s involved with things like this! You make it look so easy!!
-
I love that you didn't completely change the old dress. Its adorable that she used her mother dress
-
Beautiful dress before and after! You did amazing alterations April! The bride using the left over lace did a great job too on add it to give more coverage. She is beautiful and I know her mom is so proud that she choose to wear her wedding gown. Congratulations to April for a job well done and congratulations to the newlyweds!
