That’s because depression clothing is coming back into style. Go look at what people dressed in during the depression then go look at the latest fashion catalog
“I was greedy as always.” Andrea, as a plus sized that loves fashion a lot of your looks aren’t really for me but I love them all and could watch you for hours. You bring so much joy!
But, she does give us chunkier girls the odd idea to adapt to our curves...we cant all get her tiny waist and dainty little bone structure (sadly).... but i have used some of her colour ideas, etc. 👍👍👍
IKR? I WISH I could shop more vintage, but the plus-size vintage game is lacking. :( But I have been embracing my inner magpie and breaking out big or flashy earrings more often!
Not to mention bigger chested girlies! Makes a lot of dresses look shorter than they are (on me at least, and I’m on the taller side so that doesn’t help either)
Especially the ones I bought knowing I would need to alter before ever being able to wear. Also, knowing I would probably never get it altered still in my closet years later but I can’t get rid of it. I love it.😂❤ one day I will have it altered, and it will be awesome or maybe I’ll try to think more creatively like this lady. She’s pretty good at that.
"It' s 500% my cuppa and she (it' s always the same kind of dress😅) was screaming my name. One must do what must be done😌. Her day will come." My fav one. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Thank god, someone who can actually style clothing. The amount of horrid “stylists” and “fashion influencers” on tiktok and RU-vid is embarrassing. Love your looks
I am 68 and would never wear any of these styles, but I enjoy watching because you are so creative, not only with the clothes but in the development of your character and channel. 😊
I am happiest in jeans and a black tee, boots and leather jacket. Her imagination is incredible. I wonder if she makes her living by outfitting others. She is so talented .
Yeah but I love how she comes up with creative things that work for her level of laziness. Like not everyone can pull this off but she looks cute. 😂👍 work smarter not harder
The dress pattern was laid the wrong direction when it was cut out. Moire taffeta, even the cheap stuff, has a direction it should run. Still, you styled the hell out of it and made this rag bag dress fail a winner! I love this!
sounds like a movie I wish they'd make, maybe Ange and Penelope could be rivals turned friends teaming together against a common enemy with Johnny in the middle of everything as usual but with more sparks and chemistry than The Tourist.
I would never even glance at that dress- but you took her home and elevated her to unseen heights! And I ADORE that skirty-belt thingy with the sweet clasp!
It's like watching a magician work their magic, then suddenly *poof* - an outfit is revealed. (I do find myself always scanning the background for your cat - please include your beautiful assistant more often!)
I needed Belinda on this one, right away. Made my very happy you thought so too 🥰 And I love the "skirty belt thing" immensely too! Must find one for my wardrobe!
I love watching her videos because this is how I used to play dress up as a kid. There's such an element of play in this, there are no rules and delightful names and pure joy. When did we get old and boring and brainwashed into thinking we can only wear certain things?!
I'm so glad you've shown up in my feed! I absolutely love your content and your voice on top of it is soooo soothing. I'm in love with your aesthetic 😍😍
This woman looks like a model, she absolutely has a figure to be envious of. Good on her. Her style is incredible. I would have worn the dress as is lol. She made it look incredible. I wish I had this ability.
@@crypticlish6717 What is her channel name? I encountered her "if the men find out we can shapeshift" video quite by accident/algorithm/Divine Intervention... ... & have never found it again! 🥺
I went from not too sure about this patch to extremely impressed. That livestream sold me on a TON of stuff and now I want all the characters, again lol
That dress would be perfect as is on my figure. I love that you're showing us how to wear anything though. You've really helped me think even more creatively about dressing
Thank you for supporting Demelza Children's Hospice Charity. They are very dear to my heart and provided a lot of much needed support during my son Oliver's 5½ years of life. Charities such as Demelza provide a lifeline to parents and extended family members, of a terminally ill child. Even just taking care of your child for a few days in the hospice when they're actually not "ill" as such at the time, in order to give parents a few days off. They have beautiful parent's bedroom suites upstairs, that were like staying in a hotel, and all food and drink is free for your stay. Meanwhile children have their own private bedroom downstairs in "the care corridor" they call it, where all of their care and medical needs are looked after by nurses. Parents can spend as much or as little time with their child as they want during the stay, and I chose to be with Oliver as much as possible any time we stayed there, but it was bliss to have a long soak in the bath, eat a proper meal or sleep through the night undisturbed for a few days. You'd think of children's hospices as being somewhere a child goes to die, but they do so much more than that. Oliver was diagnosed as life limited aged 2, and he died in hospital actually and unexpectedly from chickenpox of all things, and not from his diagnosis. But as soon as he was diagnosed the charity accepted us and supported us for the following 3½ years of his life. They also give grief counseling and support for the family after a child dies. I literally do not know how we'd have got through it all without them providing much needed support and short breaks to recharge our batteries. You'd THINK such support is provided by Social Services - and technically, on paper, it IS supposed to be. However trying to get the support, services or essential equipment that you're entitled to, from social services, is like getting blood from a stone. It's emotionally exhausting to have to fight for every tiny thing your child should be getting through them, and when you're already exhausted and living in fear of losing your child, it just gets too much to keep fighting for. Instead Demelza provided staff who fought for those things on our behalf, and made sure to pick up the shortfall of responsibility that social services failed to deliver. The hospice itself is beautiful and all the staff are so kind, caring and supportive. It's based in Kent and serves families from the South East of England and I urge any people living in this area to support Demelza. They rely entirely on fundraising, secondhand donations and a lot of volunteers, so any help you can give, helps a family like ours. For people in other parts of the UK, I urge you to support a children's hospice in your area, even if it's donating something to one of their shops, it all goes to help. Some of the bigger charities are very well known, and could probably continue running for years, even if they never received another penny, because of how much they amass. Most are at least Nationwide, and many are even Worldwide, and whilst every human in need deserves help and support, many people they help are not right here in the UK. To make the most impact right here in your own communities, please support LOCAL charities. Demelza, and I'm sure, pretty much ALL children's hospices in the UK provide so much more support than you probably realise. From advice, advocacy, somewhere to run to, someone to lean on, community functions, day trips, short breaks, palliative care, information, a network of other families, similar children to your own with whom they can socialise, housing advice, benefits advice, equipment loan, access to grants, nursing in the home, peace of mind, emotional support, grief counseling, family events, support groups for terminally ill teenagers to vent or meet others, even support services for siblings so their needs or fears are factored in, and even support for grandparents to understand the impact of the child's diagnosis on the family, how best to support their son or daughter who is the parent of the child, and allowing them an opportunity to express how it affects them. Although a hospice is a place to go and die, most of the services they offer support the whole family during the child's LIFE, not just the period leading up to their DEATH. Please support Demelza or Children's Hospices local to you, they do so much more than you probably thought, and often provide services the government fails to deliver! Imagine every morning you wake up, not knowing if THAT is the day you'll walk into your child's bedroom and find them dead in their bed. Imagine doing that every day for YEARS. Imagine the toll that takes on a parent, on a marriage, on the family, and on siblings who are also fearing the death, or feeling they have little of their parent's attention and love. For the rest of my lifetime, I could never repay financially the help and hope Demelza provided to our family, and I could live ten lifetimes before I could repay a fraction of the love and care the staff gave from their own hearts. Please consider supporting Demelza, or Children's Hospices near you. xxxxx ❤
Dear Mother, I am some very, very sorry for your deep, profound, & terrible loss. Losing a child must be the worst pain a living being can endure. May your precious little Oliver rest in peace, perfection, freedom, & Joy.💗 May you & your family, & all who Love Oliver find whatever comfort may be had, & healing, strength, support, Light, Hope, & ever-increasing peace.💗 You will see Oliver again. I know you will. (I've had a Near Death Experience.) God be with you, hold you close, & Bless you hard, my sister. 💗
Honestly, the whole dystopian milkmaid thing is totally how I'd wear it. But I would totally just put another skirt, even puffier and longer, on top of the one the dress came with and I'd put some petticoats under it. And I would have left the top half as it was aside from maybe adding Belinda.
❤❤❤THIS! This is an amazing transformation. No way I'm buying that for $10. I could never envision it. That skirty belty thing is fantastic 👏 👏👏👏Bravo job!
The first thing that came to mind when at the very start of the video, before you asked how to fix it, was "Belinda would look lovely with that dress." I was happy to see Belinda.
Honestly, it’s not the brand that makes someone looks expensive and elegant. It’s the person. You are the person who always looks elegant and stylish with whatever brand and styles 🤩
I love the lack of sewing. I don't have a sewing machine. Don't really know how to sew (although I would not be against learning). I often just cut, fold and belt clothing and you inspire me even more to do so!
Andrea!!! I finally bought a petticoat!! 2, actually. A black one and a white one. Time to elevate my many comfy dresses. Thank you for all your videos and entertainment
I love both shoes with the outfit but I agree that the black ones were the better choice. Ties the belt and extra skirt all together. Also, I'll never look at hair bands/ties the same again ❤
You never let us down with your creativity. I would love to wear that fit and would’ve never picked up that dress in a million years. You make me see clothes differently
