Hi love your Chanel and all of your content I now youtub hase been hard on you so I just want to say thank you and to take all thr time you need thanks so much have an awsome day!!!🥰
Keep it two pieces! You'll thank me later. Once you did your eyes, you were THERE. It was messing with my mind! Such an awesome job! You were commenting on the wig. I'm glad you didn't stress too much over it. 😊
Two-piece dresses were a thing in the fifties. (Cough, cough, embarrassedly admitting my age) I had a dress composed of a sleeveless bodice, a gathered skirt, and a ruched cummerbund all made of red and white cotton gingham. I felt so grown-up in it. Your videos never fail to bring a smile, both for your creativity and artistry but also for your unselfconscious silliness and humor. The music is a plus. Do anything you want to. I'll tune in and watch.
I sewed a two-piece dress last year from a 1950s pattern and as someone who is about three different sizes (like, 8-10 bust, 10-16 waist, 12-14 hip in Australian sizes) having the garment in two pieces is actually an improvement. If you're wondering of course I massively changed the size from the original - graded down at the bust (it was a size 14 vintage pattern which is a 34 inch bust, I'm about 33 inches and I still had to take it in), graded way up at the waist and just generally graded the skirt part up by a whole bunch and then had to take it back in because ??? mystery.
I love your "Franken Denim" In the early 70's I made myself a frankendenim outfit. It was a Maxie skirt, haltertop,and a bolero jacket with a rolled collar and French cuffs. I was 15,loved it and wore it everywhere. My Dad appreciated the talent, but embarrassed that I actually wore it. I'll be 65 this year. So happy to see you doing this type of outfit. Love it. You look fabulous ❤️❤️❤️🌹
When repurposing jeans, always just cut them. There is WAY too much stitching for seam ripping to be at all worth it. The extra fabric you get is minimal compared to the amount of time and effort it would take!
@@leahgroess5361 seam ripping jeans is actually quite quick cause of how the seams are constructed and you get some nice darker gradients from inside the folded seams
Right? It's so amazing when I see a clothing item at a thrift store with stains on it or full of holes being priced nearly the same as something brand new. Madness!
“You’re not my real dad.” I literally choked on my spit as I inhaled to have a good belly laugh at that. The dress/two piece is totally cute! It would make a great fall dress as I’m sure it’ll be hella warm after about 5 minutes.
"Being 30 means making very loud and excessive noises"! Hubby and I are in our mid-sixties, and the other day we got out of our chairs at the same time. We both laughed at how creaky we sounded. Rice Krispies, folks, Rice Krispies! ~ Janet Faye Elizabeth
Along with this being just a fantastic fun project, I will never get over how much skill you have for transforming your face with makeup its *insane*. Major props.
I wonder why Rachel's hair is sooooooo messy all the time!!???????? It pretty much looks like she either never brushes it or has major bedhead every day. When her hair was red, it was always beautifully styled, now it looks terrible every time.
I actually like this version of The Dress™ more than the original and I think in winter with a turtle neck under it it would look really cute and would keep you incredibly warm. Definitely not a summer dress
What's also fascinating is how she looks so beautiful every time. This blonde and the lighter eyebrows are sooo cute on her. Each transformation she does I'm like damn girl this looks good on you too??! Unfair haha.
Rachel: "Maybe I'll turn this denim into something _poofy_ " Me, who doesn't sew but knows how thick, heavy, and inflexible denim can be: "bold" The finished product is really stinkin cute (as Rachel would say ;), and now I want a denim 50's style dress. If I had the money to take up sewing (in this economy?!), I think I would really like to make a 50s dress, I just like the look.
@@risingphoenix083 agreed! Also a cheap mending/sewing kit and scissors are all you need to start improving your hand sewing skills. Or if you know anyone who does sew they probably have a ton of hand needles and will be willing to part with at least one.
There is a noticeable difference in the energy in the videos when you feel restored and ready to create vs when you are feeling burnt out. I’m glad you are taking care of yourself and doing projects you love. I’m here for ALL of it! Your creativity is contagious! 😄
As someone who also likes to use reclaimed fabric, can highly recommend the Slice seam ripper with retractable blade. The ceramic blade and rounded tip keeps me from accidentally cutting myself and massively reduces accidental cuts to the fabric when slicing through lots of long seams. A real game-changer for turning thrift finds into fabric for new projects :)
I’m actually incredibly impressed by how much Rachel looks like Britney … I’m pretty much continuously amazed by Rachel’s talent and Frodo looked ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING aswell♥️♥️♥️
Wait, you did all that in THREE DAYS??! Rachel, c'mon. That's amazing. And denim? My sewing machine would've sprouted legs and walked out if I'd attempted anything similar. It looked great and was a lot of fun to watch. Cheers and well done! 👍
I just have to say that the denim Britney dress was relentlessly ridiculed in the press back in the day, but her dress is beautiful and fits like a glove. And she was decades ahead of the sustainable fashion movement! Thank you for paying homage to this moment in fashion!
I disagree. Formal events should require formal wear. I really dislike that celebs influenced people to stop getting dressed up, ever. For example, weddings are sooooo expensive (for the couple) today, and the guests come wearing cotton/spandex dresses from Forever 21. I also highly doubt Brittany’s dress was sustainable. I’m sure the designers used new denim. They just used different types. Nothing I’m saying should be taken as a criticism of Brittany herself. She is great and has been treated so unfairly! We just have different taste, which is perfectly okay. I also don’t blame her if new denim was used for it since sustainability wasn’t a widely known concept back then. 😊
In the 70’s we recycled denim as it was very expensive. We turned old jeans into skirts and bags , patched and embroidered around holes so recycling been around for a long time.
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 may I note that also "dressing fancy" on occasions is also a made up concept? The whole "I have to buy a new dress for this year's prom" is a totally made up capitalist and consumerist construct, since people back in the days had one "good" dress to wear on important occasions and that was it. Sure, the quality was way better, but still modest outfits. For some people "good" ones were just those which didn't have holes in them. Many wore their mother's or grandmother's wedding dresses, or a dress which was sewed for them by their family, and that was pretty common. I think there's nothing bad in being economically conscious and simple.
I have saved every pair of jeans since highschool to eventually turn into a denim quilt. Highschool was half a lifetime ago for me now. I could probably make a denim tent at this point.
@@mala3isity oooor you could start sewing again?? Maybe you’d have to start on smaller projects but you could do it! You don’t have to give up on your crafting dreams and goals!
First off- a compliment: AMAZING job, I swore I just blinked and u completely nailed the face make up?? A++ job. (not to mention the dress is so cool???) Second - a suggestion: to help keep the pressure off ya and so u can enjoy your projects more. Why not continue finishing projects as much as you have time for, but then every so often do a "finishing my projects the way I Want video" with like a q and a or something you find low key.
The only thing I would say was a missed opportunity was using spare pants legs(if there were any) to make GIANT pockets that are nice and spacious. Revenge on all those jean company's for not giving us pockets!
I went searching for this comment. 😂 I too wanted multiple pockets. I was thinking two in the front, two where they usually are on the booty, and a tiny one on the chest!
The first time I mashed up a bunch if thrifted denim, I snapped so many needles and damaged the metal cover plate of my machine. Later I learned about needles specifically for denim which was a big improvement on additional projects.
Honestly, this is amazing. I think that leaving it as two items makes it more versatile. The deconstructed denim look is everything. You did fantastic. Now I want one.
Rachel working on her make-up: "2000s highlights" Me (same age as Britney) after a moment: "omg I always did my make-up like that going out" 🤣🤣 Love this butt naked vintage series!! 🥰
@@CleoHarperReturns I mean, millennials can be in their (mid to) late 20s or their early 40s or in between. If they call themselve aging-millennial they are probably closer to the early 40s than the late 20s. Whether that is old or not probably depends on the viewpoint, but technically aging just describes the process and doesn't need to mean old.
@@annakilifa331 I was only joking. :-) I'm 49. My sister - a millennial - is 39. Sorry if that sounded too serious. I know plain text is hard to read sometimes but I'm technologically inept and all my emojis have disappeared from YT. I should call my sister to fix it.
Wanna avoid ironing a huge wad of fabric? Take “ye olde wrinkled fabric” along with a dampened washcloth or hand towel and place in dryer. Dry on medium heat for 15-20 minutes and remove as soon as the dryer timer goes off. Then POOF! - no more wrinkles and no ironing required!!
Okay, I'm sitting here eating an early birthday ice cream cake that I purchased, while Rachel talks about left over birthday ice cream cake, and I immediately start whipping my head around like I'm going to see her watching me. God it's been a long week.
Cute! I like the final look. Re: ironing. A lifesaving tip my good friend (and professional long-arm quilter) shared with me for cheat “ironing” large pieces of fabric: toss the fabric in a warm dryer with a wet hand towel. The steam will take out the wrinkles, and you just gotta pull the fabric out immediately and hang or lay flat of whatever. Its worked for me several times.
This is so fun!!! I love this take on such an iconic lewk ✨✨ HUMBLE REQUEST-- pleaaase “but make it vintage” Shania’s leopard suit… think of the CAPE possibilities!!! Love all that you do, so excited to see more of this series in the future, whatever you do ☺️
I will be forever amazed by Rachel's ability to become other people through makeup and clothing. Logically, sure, I know that's how most actors/cosplayers/performers become characters etc, but why does Rachel ALWAYS look just like the person?! WITCHCRAFT I TELL YOU! And I am here for it!
After Kim K wore Marilyn's dress, I saw a post that said that Britney was the modern day Marilyn. Then a bit later I started to see denim in your Instagram stories and felt like I was picking up a wavelength and here we are!!
I am always in awe of your make up transformations skills. You really have such a good eye for spotting the subtle things that make someone's face distinct and recognizable.
We Canadians call this ensemble... The Canadian Tuxedo. And I'm so proud. Ty for honouring our fashion. Britney and Justin did amazing on it, and so did you!
I made a quilt out of my old jeans and a bed sheet when I was a teenager, 2006-ish. I loved that quilt, it was like a weighted blanket and it was so comforting without being too hot.
Rachel's entire audience: make the pinafore. Side note. This video is my reward for putting my laundry on the line. Thanks for helping my depresso self.
Every now and then I'll forget how good your makeup skills are and then you make a video like this where you literally turn your face into the person you're portraying and I wish I had your skills damn
On the one hand, I always end up loving all of your creations. On the other, the thought of a long, jean skirt is giving me nightmares of past summers at my old church! lol
No one: Me clicking on the title: “Butt Naked Vintage let’s goooooo!” (FYI I think you’ve said in the past this series doesn’t do very well but my first video of yours was Poison Ivy BMV and I freakin’ love this stuff!!!! Keep doin’ whatchya doin’!)
Rachel I literally have never been more excited to read a title of yours in my LIIIIFFFEEEEE!!! I am so into these goofy but amazing projects, they inspire me SO! My new aesthetic for making clothes is “is this a funny idea” I can’t wait to see how this turns out
Oooh, can you make a "Summer" dress? Like, something that would include pink flamingos, or the red & white checked picnic table fabric, or maybe something that makes you look like a rocket pop?
I haven't watched your contents for a long while. I've missed this! You did end up resembling Britney, a vintage Britney indeed! You've done an amazing job. ❤
I feel like you really got the eyes! There was a moment when you smiled and I was like "OMG that totally looked like Britneys eyes!!" Love any content you make - will watch it all!!
I was just shopping for 1970s vintage jean skirts 😂 I found some with a lace trim on them very cute. I think I'm one of few people who loves that Brittany jean dress ❤️
Just throwing it out there: if you really want to take eco-friendly fabric re-use to the next level, scraps of natural fabrics can go into your compost pile! I did a denim quilt a couple of years ago and composted all the seams and scraps… very satisfying. ❤️
The skirt and bodice would look even more gorgeous with some embroidery/fabric paint/patches/crystals etc. They have the potential to be the most rebel dress ever! xD
That dress is cute. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you have talent, and you actually wear what you make. There are a lot of people, who don’t wear what they make. It’s sad, but true 💐
I enjoyed this outfit way more than I thought I would. My 90s baby heart was all for it. I actually think the fact that the top and bottom aren't connected is a blessing in disguise because I think they would be so cool as separate pieces as well. Frodo as Justin Timberlake KILLED ME.
I absolutely love this!! It's very interesting, definitely probably to heavy to wear all day. But honestly if you keep the two pieces separated I think the top would be cute to pair with other high waisted skirts.
I don't sew, I'm not really into fashion, the reason I started watching is my gf watches you but I'm now hooked as you are hilarious and your vids are brilliant! Keep up the great work!
I love looking at Rachel transforming into characters and people with makeup, she always sells the illusion. Plus, from this video, I really feel that her week off doing cosplay stuff did her some good :3 Keep doing what you like Rachel, it's fun to watch you have fun
I had multiple people send me this video already 😂 I've saved every pair of jeans I've I've worn out over the last 10 years, and last year I turned 5 of them into a Lolita dress. I love seeing people make cool things out of old jeans!
I feel like you need a tamagotchi themed purse or something to go with this, and like polypocket hair clips. Also omg Frodo in a fedora is the cutest thing!🖤🖤🖤
As soon as you said “being 30 means” I started nodding in agreement without knowing what you were going to say yet. I just KNEW my 30-year old bones would agree with you
"move over derrick berry" lmao. you look so much like britney with the makeup, i'm always in awe at your transformation skills. i love the way the dress came out too!
Hello frens!!! Captions are out being transcribed and will be up later tonight :) K LOVE YOU BYE

Such an awesome job!
You were commenting on the wig. I'm glad you didn't stress too much over it. 😊
rachel: talking about gathering the waistline, while hunching over
me: hehe huncher and gatherer
This is exactly something she would say. I love this comment section.
Winning pun!
Oh no it's mee
HA! That's legit hilarious 😂
I thought the exact same thing :D
rachel always adding more skirt panels than the pattern asks for is the sewing equivalent of adding in way more chocolate chips than are in the recipe
Oh 100%
I fail to see the problem in either situation. >_>
I always add more chips, she always adds more skirt yardage.
or like garlic
Measuring with her heart, and I love it

I will be forever amazed by Rachel's ability to become other people through makeup and clothing. Logically, sure, I know that's how most actors/cosplayers/performers become characters etc, but why does Rachel ALWAYS look just like the person?! WITCHCRAFT I TELL YOU! And I am here for it!
Rachel's joy at seeing the individual portions done made me so happy.
After Kim K wore Marilyn's dress, I saw a post that said that Britney was the modern day Marilyn. Then a bit later I started to see denim in your Instagram stories and felt like I was picking up a wavelength and here we are!!
I am always in awe of your make up transformations skills. You really have such a good eye for spotting the subtle things that make someone's face distinct and recognizable.
I got to see The Swan Dress in person many many years ago when Bjork did a show with the LA Philharmonic 😍.
Amazing!!
I love that Rachel is just giggling to herself throughout the entire assembly of this dress
We Canadians call this ensemble...
The Canadian Tuxedo. And I'm so proud. Ty for honouring our fashion. Britney and Justin did amazing on it, and so did you!
Is it weird that I learnt that watching Canada's Drag Race?
@@Nikki-tx6kh Nope! I love that show!
I made a quilt out of my old jeans and a bed sheet when I was a teenager, 2006-ish. I loved that quilt, it was like a weighted blanket and it was so comforting without being too hot.
Thanks for the idea!
Rachel's entire audience: make the pinafore.
Side note. This video is my reward for putting my laundry on the line. Thanks for helping my depresso self.
Right???
this is always my clothes folding jam :)
Putting the JEAN in Britney Jean Spears.
P.S. the sewing song lowkey slaps - Rachel's the best 🥰
I liked the Julien reference when you said, “band name, called it.” We love Jenna and Julen♥️
Every now and then I'll forget how good your makeup skills are and then you make a video like this where you literally turn your face into the person you're portraying and I wish I had your skills damn
On the one hand, I always end up loving all of your creations. On the other, the thought of a long, jean skirt is giving me nightmares of past summers at my old church! lol
No one:
Me clicking on the title: “Butt Naked Vintage let’s goooooo!”
(FYI I think you’ve said in the past this series doesn’t do very well but my first video of yours was Poison Ivy BMV and I freakin’ love this stuff!!!! Keep doin’ whatchya doin’!)
🤣
Rachel I literally have never been more excited to read a title of yours in my LIIIIFFFEEEEE!!! I am so into these goofy but amazing projects, they inspire me SO! My new aesthetic for making clothes is “is this a funny idea”
I can’t wait to see how this turns out
Oooh, can you make a "Summer" dress? Like, something that would include pink flamingos, or the red & white checked picnic table fabric, or maybe something that makes you look like a rocket pop?
I haven't watched your contents for a long while. I've missed this! You did end up resembling Britney, a vintage Britney indeed! You've done an amazing job. ❤
I used old jeans to reupholster a 70s chair and let me tell you, I can relate on the jeans deconstruction portion of this video.
I haven’t even watched it yet but I’m already eyeing the pile of denim trousers my husband gave me for upcycling a few weeks ago 👀
ruclips.net/video/FQRW0RM4V0k/видео.html
That’s the perfect combination between Britney and Marilyn 💜
I feel like you really got the eyes! There was a moment when you smiled and I was like "OMG that totally looked like Britneys eyes!!" Love any content you make - will watch it all!!
I was just shopping for 1970s vintage jean skirts 😂 I found some with a lace trim on them very cute.
I think I'm one of few people who loves that Brittany jean dress ❤️
Our prom (or maybe it was homecoming…) was themed after this look 🙃😂 “diamonds and denim”. That’s the south for you lol.
Rachel: Doesn't everyone have chainmail in their car?
Me: Yes, yes we do 😌😂
I need to acquire chainmail post haste.
Yes, but I try to make sure I take it out and put it away properly after every reenactment weekend.
I know my niece does
Wow! Right at the point you finished your lips and moved on to highlighting, I SAW BRITNEY. SO cool; you are a Master! Great job on the dress!
Just throwing it out there: if you really want to take eco-friendly fabric re-use to the next level, scraps of natural fabrics can go into your compost pile! I did a denim quilt a couple of years ago and composted all the seams and scraps… very satisfying. ❤️
The skirt and bodice would look even more gorgeous with some embroidery/fabric paint/patches/crystals etc. They have the potential to be the most rebel dress ever! xD
That dress is cute. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you have talent, and you actually wear what you make. There are a lot of people, who don’t wear what they make. It’s sad, but true 💐
Lol I misread the title as “Disney” denim dress XD
I thought she was gonna make some 90’s grunge version of one of the Disney Princesses lmao 😂
I need this in my life now
that's such a good future video idea !!!
@@palmtree1958 lol oh I could absolutely see her doing that. Let’s hope she sees this XD
Suggested title "But make it denim"
Loved it. The seams as trim was such a good call. Really finished it off. I think the make up looks amazing too.
The Franken-ness of the finished dress is giving me ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Sally vibes and I love it ❤️
Rachel, you are my hero. All of your content is amazing. Please make videos about whatever you want, and I will watch them a thousand times.
I enjoyed this outfit way more than I thought I would. My 90s baby heart was all for it. I actually think the fact that the top and bottom aren't connected is a blessing in disguise because I think they would be so cool as separate pieces as well. Frodo as Justin Timberlake KILLED ME.
I totally love how this came out! So cute, now I want one. And can we talk about all those available pockets!?!
It’s cool to see another “but make it vintage”. The dress looks cool!
I actually really love it being a two piece! I feel like that makes it more wearable (if a 75 pound denim skirt can be called wearable)
Heck yeah, I love how you're bringing back fashion trends one era at a time, Rachel! 😄
Losing my mind at Frodo as Justin Timberlake 😭 what a handsome little man
I absolutely love this!! It's very interesting, definitely probably to heavy to wear all day. But honestly if you keep the two pieces separated I think the top would be cute to pair with other high waisted skirts.
THE LITTLE KICK AT THE END OF THE REVEAL WAS ADORABLE
The Britney makeup is perfect!
I don't sew, I'm not really into fashion, the reason I started watching is my gf watches you but I'm now hooked as you are hilarious and your vids are brilliant! Keep up the great work!
I love looking at Rachel transforming into characters and people with makeup, she always sells the illusion. Plus, from this video, I really feel that her week off doing cosplay stuff did her some good :3 Keep doing what you like Rachel, it's fun to watch you have fun
I had multiple people send me this video already 😂 I've saved every pair of jeans I've I've worn out over the last 10 years, and last year I turned 5 of them into a Lolita dress. I love seeing people make cool things out of old jeans!
The callout to Derrick Barry gave me a HEFTY giggle lol
But Make it Vintage! Yay! Those are always fun. Love the skirt on the dress. And our sweet floor troll is BACK!
I like how her denim overalls had a sweetheart bodice also!
I feel like you need a tamagotchi themed purse or something to go with this, and like polypocket hair clips.
Also omg Frodo in a fedora is the cutest thing!🖤🖤🖤
I actually have a Polly Pocket purse, it looks just like the old compacts
Rachel: "Denim...is DONE!"
Me: done-im
I will literally watch ANY video you make multiple times… but these “but make it vintage” ones are kind of my fav.
Shhh. I feel bad saying that bc oof… that is just SO MUCH work!
I actually think you could get a lot of wear out of the top in some 70’s outfits too. Once the fit is adjusted of course! ❤️
"Rouge your demons away" is my new T-shirt slogan. Solid gold!
As soon as you said “being 30 means” I started nodding in agreement without knowing what you were going to say yet. I just KNEW my 30-year old bones would agree with you
almost 30 and saaaaaame
Would literally wear this dress and I wasn’t a fan of the og Brit dress. So glad you brought this series back!
"move over derrick berry" lmao.
you look so much like britney with the makeup, i'm always in awe at your transformation skills. i love the way the dress came out too!
"Doesn't everyone have chainmail in their car?" You're not alone, I do! lol LOVE the dress, btw
This look is perfect cross of Brittney and Marilyn lol
I love your "But Make it Vintage" series! I was so happy to see your insta post hinting that was what today's video was going to be.
