This DIY has been a long time coming. My friend sent me this Free People dress almost a year ago and I loved it!! I knew it would be a perfect #thriftflip because we could mashup a graphic t-shirt or sweatshirt with a printed Maxi Skirt for a fraction of the cost.
this is a great DIY for beginner sewers because there is one single seam with a straight stich.
You can add detailing in the waist with pleats and gathers if you want, but no need! Simple looks amazing.
TIP:
Start by looking for a cool skirt that you think you'd like and THEN hunt for a t-shirt or sweatshirt that complements it.
Maxi skirts are harder to find so you want to let that dictate your design.

Checked out the cute jumpsuit before your video. However, I'm short, 5'2" max. and about 120. Not sure how it would fit me. It looks to be another factory fast fashion site. Kind of goes against your DIY repurposing video.

@VikkiG1970 2 месяца назад

Hello. I watched this video, found some clothes I figured would do. Went and bought a sewing machine, learned how to use it. Chopped the clothes, sewed them as directed in your video. Wore my newly made dress to a ladies group at church. They though it was a brand new dress I had bought. I was so happy to be able to tell them I had sewn it before our get together with clothes that were destined for the bin. All in one day! I thank you so much ! 🌹

@reluctant-to-change Год назад

It's fascinating to me how brands like Free People are using the *aesthetic* of DIY (ie the logo on the t-shirt part of the dress made to appear cropped) for a commercial product. I appreciate how you always highlight the *spirit* of DIY, making clothes that are customized to a person's unique body and personal tastes.

AWEsome! I am just getting back into sewing after a nearly 40 year "vacation", and this sort of project suits both my cheapskate side and my creative side! In fact I was just going through my collection of thrifted clothes that I had set aside to tinker with, and found a skirt that will work perfectly for this! At 69 and retired I don't give a hoot about anybody's fashion opinions - I just want to be comfortable and a bit funky - just ask my purple and teal hair!!

@teacheraprilrogers Год назад

I love this so much. I just lost 80 pounds and I still have about 60 pounds more to go. I am finally ready to start refashioning and sewing clothes for myself again. My son was just telling me yesterday that I need to sew for myself again. This dress is perfect. I don't normally wear dresses but I love this so much. I have a pair of super wide leg palazzo pants that are now way to big for me and I think they will be perfect to do this with. Maybe even make a jumper version of this. My mind is going a hundred miles a minute coming up with ideas

@CandiceLeeSchilt Год назад

I have also lost a bunch of weight (for health reasons) and I have a bunch to go ...My clothes are fallin off... I got my sewing machine threaded for the first time in years today. If the weight loss was intentional congratulations. You are so worthy of putting in all the effort needed to make your life better

@shoogasweet5847 Год назад

Congratulations to you both on your weight loss🎉

@Kellers-Ma Год назад

WOW, you both should be really proud of yourselves. Congrats on your achievements. I know it must have been hard. So happy for you both.

@cbsdaigle Год назад

Love the sweatshirt/ruffle skirt mash up! Maybe it's just me but you could've taken it one step further and used the cut off sleeves to fashion a couple of great pockets on the skirt. Thanks for showing us just how easy it is to transform items!

@Kellers-Ma Год назад

Right ✅️ great idea

@jessieb1342 Год назад

I made this dress and I love it!!! It took me 3 hours (I’m a beginner and also had some modifications to my skirt) but it was still really easy. If you know what you’re doing it’ll take no time at all. Highly recommend this DIY.

@nataliequinton5976 Год назад

Really great instructions. The patchwork skirt goes perfectly with that pink sweatshirt. I’ve made dresses and nightgowns like this for years, usually using lengths of fabric for the skirt. I’ll have to search for fun skirts at the thrift store instead.

@tracyvision Год назад

Orly strikes again with something I didn’t know I needed but now must have!

@OrlyShaniShow Год назад

@loonybinreject Год назад

Imagine using a skirt with pockets so the dress has pockets. That would be the * *chef's kiss* * version

@OrlyShaniShow Год назад

I mean!!!

@catherineritter6835 2 месяца назад

@@OrlyShaniShow I imagine it would be pretty simple to add in-seam pockets if you get a skirt that has side seams! Or maybe even adding patch pockets??

@cori0420 Год назад

Now imagine being plus size and finally learning how to utilize those short waisted tshirts you've been keeping all this time. I need to go to goodwill. We don't have many thrift stores where I live, so goodwill is our only option

@penelopefp Год назад

Does your community have any freecycle on-line groups? Or maybe you've just found your new business venture! 😁

@bleudragon9 Год назад

Those 2 diy dresses are fabulous! Even better than the inspiration piece. Thanks for sharing.

@karolynlove2796 Год назад

So adorable! I love them and think I'm going to the thrift store to find a sweatshirt and skirt that I can make into a maternity dress for my granddaughter for the fall when she's going to need something larger! Thank you so much for this idea of repurposing these 2 items!! I especially think the Billy Joel style with the angled t-shirt will be the best to accommodate her baby bump for a while!! Love it!!

@shelbeeontheedge5443 Год назад

Oh my goodness, these are so adorable! I have a pile of unworn tees and a bunch of maxi skits that I never wear because I always prefer dresses so I am definitively going to make some of these dresses! Thanks for sharing your creative genius with us! Shelbee

@barbaraness4507 6 месяцев назад

If you have any amount of tummy pleats make it look bigger there. That’s why the pleat(s) in the back are such a great idea!

@VeganDoris Год назад

Both of those look better than the inspo, at a tiny fraction of the cost!

@melissahartsell7158 Год назад

wow! I am so glad this is in stlye now! some years ago I was making my own dresses using t-shirts for the top part cause being plus sized I was having trouble finding my own dresses. Now I need to pull those back out and rock them and make some more!! love yours Orly!!

@claudchin5257 Год назад

Love this DIY! I've got my thrifted top and my black and white gingham fabric to do my mashup 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@monicab8176 7 месяцев назад

Hell yeah when I saw that in the catalog I swooned. Also agreed with the seam…and the price 😂

@bunniesandroses499 Год назад

You look really good in pink, it is very cute, this type of dress is comfortable , you will probably wear it all the time!

@kwallsmall25 Год назад

I made one as soon as I watched this! I used a zepp t shirt I accidentally cut and cropped too short.. it worked amazingly! I’m wearing it to work at my high school today! I feel like a total badass!

@melz3752 Год назад

This look reminds me of the grunge, granola, tree hugger look that Boulder Colorado had going in the 90’s. Sometimes I miss those days lol

@TheBriarPatch Год назад

OK, I saw this video over the weekend, and immediately went to GoodWill for skirts. It's Tuesday, and I've made 3 of them. Thank you so much for this idea! I just love it for my vintage tees.

I like using curtains. There’s some really cute styles at the thrift store and we have these stores called Krazy bins where they sell Amazon returns or undeliverable items. Their material is so amazing, I got a ballet type Crinoline with the hoops going down, each one getting bigger. I used this look to make a maniquinn(not a sewing one, that’s be weird lol it’s a decor piece that stands on a pole lamp, I put those fairy lights inside the tutu ruffles. The top is a Prada tight bad girl leather zipper tank/lingerie piece. This is where my diy dress thing started, loving your style here so I’ll be trying it out! Subscribed .

@sybildarcy9166 Год назад

Perfection!!!!!!!!

@amyradbill1836 Год назад

Not only is this adorable, but I’m thinking of variations on this theme (top half made from an oversized button down shirt or a tank top, for instance). Also, you pulled out that old plaid skirt of yours during the sponsor portion of this video (not the one you used with the Billy Joel t-shirt, the super cool, sort of asymmetrical one you apparently made years ago), and I just need you to know that I am *obsessed* with that skirt, ever since watching your video a few weeks ago. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since-I was recently eyeing plaid flannel at JoAnn Fabrics, thinking about how I could create something similar. 😂 If I do it, I will absolutely post it on Instagram and tag you!

great! i have so many band shirts and weird length skirts im gonna combo together. i have some ball skirts from when that and a sweater on top were a trend. wore once an hung up. even some tank dresses i can see cutting off from under the arms and adding a tee top to that would make them less short an more funky. thanks orly. i have had this idea in my head and seeing you make it simple has gotten me to go closet scavaging now!!!

yes!! have fun!!

@hippychickshannong3884 Год назад

I literally stopped you vid to make my own. It took me only 25 mins to pick out my shirt and skirt ,cut , pin and sew. I almost donated the skirt because I didn't like the waist band . love it now. I might have to go to the thrift store for a concert shirt and skirt ,I can bear to cut my Duran Duran concert shirts. Thank you for the inspiration😁 I am a new subscriber.

I'm new to this channel and i just can't override my amusement about how much you resembles Sandra Bullock!

@sherried79 10 месяцев назад

Love these up cycles! Thank you so much for the tip about placing your item on its side to make the cut. I could not figure out why my car didn't work out until that tip. I taught myself to hand sew with the help of RU-vid about a year ago and I recently found a brother sewing machine for 20 bucks at goodwill. It was a steal for sure! ❤😊❤ So, now I can use a machine and feel more productive. 😊 The machine works beautifully too! I plan to practice on it all weekend so I will make one of these or maybe all now that I can hehe

@carolyng5235 Год назад

This video came up in my recommendations yesterday and I immediately subscribed, grabbed an old t-shirt I love (but never wear), a thrifted skirt I had (just waiting for a project), and mashed them up. It took less than 2 hours and already got an "OMG I love it!" Brilliant idea, thanks!

@cristalloe5622 Год назад

@kristinamullen4066 Год назад

I'm a petite, busty, but non fluffy woman. I'm so frustrated with everything I see in stores. They're made for tall, thin or tall big people. I used to get dresses at thrift shops and turn them into tunics, but I'm feeling lazy now. I guess I have to go back to my old ways.

I like , that you got the first dress changed for the better, but I did not really see and understand, HOW you did it. Also: I like the aestetics with the dresses.

@WomanUnfiltered Год назад

Cute! I did something similar with a long sleeved button down. I left the sleeves and actually stitched the shirt over the top of the skirt waistband, leaving the bottom unbuttoned so as to leave the skirt fuller at the hips.It's hard to describe and was made as a fairwell gift for a friend who gave me the suggestion. I completely forgot to take pics of it on her. 😂

@tracyheath6076 Год назад

Now when I first saw this I did not care for it at all but I decided to watch your show and see how you did It. And then after you lowered the seam to the natural waistline and your combo with the pink shirt and skirt that I really really liked and gave me so many ideas especially for skirts where the waistline or the elastic is worn out but I still love the skirt. I am for sure going to use this idea. Thank you so much
