MAJOR THRIFT FLIP | Old clothes to Lolita Dress 

I love how this entire dress turned out! I can never hope to have as much talent and skill in dressmaking, but I'm so happy to seeing how much creativity and care you put into making lolita clothing. I'd love to see more videos like this!

your vision is amazing! I never would have seen those articles of clothing and imagined they could look anything like that all rearanged and put together. You did such an amazing job!!

this was the BEST thrift flip i have ever watched, you are AMAZING

So I know this is an old video, and you probably won't see this comment, but I have to tell u how much I appreciate u showing multiple ways of measuring and cutting fabric and patterns. Like so many people, I live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to get a measuring mat or rotary cutter, so I really appreciate u showing how to do those things without them lol

This is a REAL thrift flip and such inspiration! I hope to make completely upcycled cosplays in the future!

I hope I can study dressmaking / fashion design in the future. Love how the dress turned out. As I watched your tutorial, narealize ko na kulang pala stitch na ginawa ko for manual gathering. Also if only I added the seam allowance on my patterns I could have saved a lot of time. Thank you for this. Hope to see more tutorials from you.

I spotted this on the Lolita sewing collective a few months ago and I didn't find the video until just now. but I'm still not over it lol, this was very cool

Wow! Thank you for showing how you piece together pattern pieces to make use of unusual sizes of fabric. I have seen it used historically to maximize expensive fabric, but didn't know how I could use it in my own sewing. I don't think I am ready to make something as elaborate as your dress, but I will keep practicing my sewing skills. I have made a few skirts, but haven't tried a bodice yet. With your inspiration, I think I am going to give it a try.

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I want to have lolita dresses but I am on a really, really tight budget. You have inspired me to be more creative and I am so excited to go to the thrift store and let my imagination run wild!! Thank you so much.

This is exactly the thrift flip I was looking for! Someone who really know how to sew turning several items into something fancy! Sooo great!

Well…this is a blessing. And we’re subscribing…NOW.

I probably commented on this before, but I feel the need to say it (again, if I have already): You. Are. A Genius! I admire this so much and really am getting the inspiration to give this a try.

Congrats on winning the kawaii.i sustainable diy contest!

I dont Like lolita dress, but I LIKE the craftsmanship ingenuity resourceful ness &.creativity. BRILLIANT. JUST BRILLIANT. ☆●

i adore your skills i suck at designing lolita dresses, its hard to make it balanced, you are amazing.

It's pretty, i am just starting making clothes i hope one day i will be able to make more creative things like this

I'm just blown away by the creativity and hardwork displayed here to create something so beautiful out of regular material. I've been trying to find some lolita up-cycyling/refurbishing videos because I have some thrift dresses with beautiful fabrics that have an ugly design, or have permanent stains somewhere on them. Ty for the inspiration. I hope I can find a way to re use the dresses and make something perfect ^.^

Such creative way to make a lovely feminine dress. Wow, I am so impress. You have a new subscriber with me. Thank you from Canada.

wow this is a good reference!! thanks for the tutorial this is so good for my cosplan

Congrats! Your dress made it to tv! I couldn’t think of anyone more worthy, this dress is beautiful!

"And more and more bows..." Kristina summoning technique? :)))

This transformation is only slightly this side of miraculous. You have some SERIOUS SKILLS. Designing, patterning, cutting, sewing. Wow🎉

This is so cute! I love the creativity of making such a nice design out of clothes you had already.

Super inspiring. I wish you can make more videos like this but I know it's a lot of work. Good luck with the contest.

I wish you'll have a kimono/wa lolita style collection.

Oh my goodness your work is absolutely beautiful! You have an amazing eye !

The final dress looks so cute 💖

Wow, your design is so creative. I'm really impressed by the amount of volume you created with limited materials. Did you win the contest? You deserved extra points for sewing all those ruffles and chiffon. Lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you still make videos. Looking forward to watching them all.

Beautiful dress and lovely video! This really inspired me to finally learn to sew with a machine. I bought a second hand one recently and hope to get started on an upcoming holiday :)

How has this not gone viral? This is amazing!

You have a lot of creativity to go from the the start to this!

Congratulations! This is amazing.

So much care and attention to detail. The final dress is so beautiful!

Wow. Awesome job. I love puffy Lolita type dresses.

Thank you for this tutorial!!! Very helpful and useful since I'm broke as hell with a lolita love but an avid thifter!! And thank you for showing me what shirring looked like, I had no clue how!!

I wish I had your talent! I know how to sew and make patterns, but I lack the creativity! Huhu! I’ve always wanted to upcycle thrift clothes into something cool like what you do. You’re a big inspiration for sure. Hope you can make more videos like this even for simple projects ^_^

Thank you for sharing this video. Ang dami kong natutunan at ang ganda ng kinalabasan ng dress!! 😍 Abangan ko po yung future videos niyo. 😊

why it took me so long to discover your channel? oh my, your creation really amazing 😭💕 new subscriber here ✌

Yes more videos, I wish I discovered your talent earlier cause it's a real blessing just to watch. The kind of video shinning happiness, and revaluing the "being a girl" experience. Higher achievement even than feminism when used in the right way as you do : freedom to enjoy your _self_ the way you like, freedom of simply being yourself, and in that way, shinning brightly to all those who can understand your way, or "feel with you" by empathy and with whom you just share freely the inside joy. _I said "even better than feminism" as it doesn't target to merely reach equality with men, but rather show it's already a thousand time better ; but I'm not denying hereby the inequity for women in life, concerning law and law enforcement (how justice deals with girl's cases comparatively, same with police) concerning wages (much lesser paid forsame skills same work same efficiency), concerning security (more often victim) and much more. That's an important fight too of course._ So Justine, you're beaming with happiness and true authentic personality, no one can develop such skills like you did, without the flame of passion lit and burning. So you behave calmly and discreetly on first sight, but if one knows human mind, one knows you have that inside strength, and that special unique flame. So Justine, I wish you inspire more girls all over the world to do the same, to develop freely and without obstacles their own true personality, this doesn't mean to copying yourself in your own ways, as it doesn't work, but to copy your ability to stick to your own true self, and share it as it is all around as it's worth contemplating. Oh yes and please Justine, do not ever ever let any one make you doubt about the importance of what you do. Many may argue it's superficial, and yes it is boys and girls. and that's why it's so important and so deep. Each time you inspire this flame to burn in other hearts, by your mere happy sharing, you transmute each time further, this world we live in, from an infinite cold desolate prison of sadness, into a colorful happy joyful warming paradise. Those who don't understand and choose for themselves to live in the prison, we're OK with them. Their choice. But when they try to make fun of those who embellish the world, then they shouldn't be given any credit at all. Let them enjoy and drink their own poisonous words without minding and keep making the world a better happier place without noticing them. So this dress expresses a lot and seeing you in the process of fabrication gives even more. Thank you, and do more of course, one should always do more of what one likes and enjoys sharing and that makes the world a happier place. No need to ask us, just go like crazy, and those who appreciate your work and are able to understand it's value, will come sooner or later, they will. Your very inspiration, will always match one day or the other, some people's sensibility and needs. And yes, we, and the world, all need more Sweet Lolita Dresses, need to awaken that part of us that is sick of waiting it's turn to be appreciated for it's right value, while war that basically is a shame ruining our planet; seems to be always. Yes, it's time Venus takes the power, and re-establish some more accurate values of things for our era, the gratitude to love and beauty, the sweetness of our hearts. They are not mere words, they are our overall basic experience in life if we dedicate our actions to them.

my life is changed forever😍
