Upcycle my wardrobe with me! + upcycling this frumpy dress
This episodes upcycled victim: a Laura Ashley x Joanie dress
I bought this dress for the print. It was bought at a charity shop which didn't have a changing room, therefore I didn't get to try on the item until I got home and honestly...the style makes me unwell. So instead of letting it sit in my wardrobe gathering dust, I've decided to upcycle it!
This is part of a new series where I will be upcycling items in my wardrobe - so come along for the journey!!

    I'm very inspired by how you do your labels! I'm waiting on a shipment of labels to come in but due to weather I've been waiting for quite some time... I also have an upcycling small business so this feels way more on brand for my products. I have been LOVING your videos btw. Thanks for making them.

    If it wouldnt be too rude of me to make a styling suggestion, may I reccomend that if you go for a look like at 18:25 with the green skirt underneath, tuck the shirt into the skirt so that the pink is on top and on the bows, and its just green coming through the slit/opening. I think it will look more put-together than if the shirt is visible at the opening, which adds pink in an extra, slightly odd location. Really well done with it!

    I'm all for reducing landfill, reduce reuse recycle, but $20 for a 20 inch by 30 inch piece of fabric (tea towel; not even a full meter or bolt width) is outlandish.

    You're so right to upcycle your wardrobe! It's the good way to fight against fast fashion. I'm doing the same thing with my own clothes (not always as inspired as you are) because sometimes the fabrics are so cool 👍. I love the way you take us on your sewing / upcycling adventure (coz it IS a real adventure ! ) ❤

    You are so right changing the shape of that Laura Ashley dress. As it is usually with Laura Ashley dresses , beautiful fabric, frumpy fit. That‘s why i use/used the fabrics around the house. Soft furnishings and curtains, because i never had your vision to change the dress in something wearable. Love it❤

    • @afrayed_upcycling
      @afrayed_upcycling 2 дня назад

    Hi Scarlett, I get so much inspiration from your videos! I am an avid upcycler and learn so much from watching you sew. There was an Australian wallpaper and fabric designer, Florence Broadhurst. Some of her designs have an Art Deco edge! Thought you may be interested in checking her out😊 Forgive me if you are already aware of her.🪡

    @kathibarnard5223 2 дня назад

    As a rule, I generally don't comment on others creations but I love the dress and the fabric. However, I'm not particularly fond of the bows and ribbons. They cheapen the look of an otherwise elegant dress. Plus if you are anything like me, the dangling bits will be caught on something all of the time or dunked in coffee or tea. Yet it is your creation so follow your heart. This is just an opinion. Love your videos. You are so creative.

    • @afrayed_upcycling
      @afrayed_upcycling 2 дня назад

      Each to their own I guess because I love the new dress!😂🙌 the bows are hand stitched on, so in the future I can always switch these out for whatever!✨

    Tha print is gorgeous, the dress originally was so overwhelming on you. I think that the under ruffle thing is called a sleeve head or sleeve header. I love these videos where you talk about your process.

    The dress turned out wonderful! It looks the best when you wear another colour under it as a skirt though, the cut is a bit to deep to wear it bear legged. It looks like there is a bit missing that way, in my opinion. But with a fabric underneath it's absolutely stunning!❤
