- HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON. If you know me, you probably know I LOVE to recreate stuff. Props, costumes, lay It On MEH. So after seeing this "Strawberry Dress" make its rounds on ye olde social media, I decided what better way to recreate it, than with a spoOOooky twist?
Pattern I referenced: Butterick 6551 (from the 1950's)

sometimes i wonder if people realize that the reason that that tiktok strawberry dress is so expensive isn’t because the designers are greedy but because the dresses are like. completely handmade by lirika matoshi in kosovo. like i need people to understand this PLEASE
SAME I was just gonna comment something like this, like I hate when companies like Free People or Urban Outfitters or whatever sell items made by like child slaves for $500 dollars but Lirika posts videos of her studio all the time with her team of well-paid women knitting every Cloud sweater and painstakingly sewing jewels onto blouses one at a time.... I get why people assume that it's just another greedy factory company if they're just learning about it now, since that's the norm, but it makes me angry to see her get hate from people who see all of that careful labor-intensive work and then STILL complain about the price
also, they make the fabrics and patterns themselves
so ur paying for
-coming up with the idea for the fabrics
-making the fabrics (which are all quality, so $$)
-making the pattern
-making the dresses
-decent wages equivalent to the work done
-shipping probably
"Greedy Designers"? EXCUSE ME people they aren't Dolce and Gabanna
@@MsUschi123 who gives a shit about dolce and gabanna? The only reason they have clout is because theyve been around longer than newer designers.
Rachel just proved it takes hours to make the dress and if you don't spend money for quality fabrics it's not going to be comfortable. It didn't cost her $40 to make it because where is the valuation for the time put in. I would consider sewing for people but so many people don't want to pay for my time and effort. Fast fashion has killed peoples perception that we do have to pay for the time that it takes to make things.
"But made halloween" Should be a series on here
I totally agree you could change all kinds of dresses into your style 💕 I totally love your channel
Omg yyyeeeeeessssssss
Yes please! 🧡🍁🎃
AMEN
Just like but make it vintage but make it spooky
this whole video i was waiting for the " i freakin love bats" kid
o
"It's always Halloween in my SOOOOOOOOUL!"
"My boobs don't look like that" while laugh crying is the most relatable thing I've ever seen 💙
🤣🤣🤣🤣 she has tape on them somewhere.
Gravity...
@@Saskatchetooner Got it in one! Surgical tape and photoshop can work wonders.
The real tea behind costuming is the right undergarments
Bat dress: "I'm just gonna wing it"
That is a phrase worthy of rachel maksys videi

Don't mind me I'm crediting the artist at 0:48 because she didn't

mind blown
You: Bats are too sparkly. Turn them inside out.
My little goth heart: MOAR DISCO BATS.
I was so happy she put the shiny side out
No such thing as too sparkly ❤️
My precise series of reactions!
me being goth but really like ing glitter: EEEEEE-
DISCO BATS!!!!!
the level of rewatchability on this video is insane
5 months in. Easily the 20th rewatch.
Ikr?
December 2022 here. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it, to be honest.
September 2023.

I love the way Editing Rachel looks like she's stuck up in the cold, miserable garret, poring over the reams of footage
"I'm going to make....a mock-up."
WHO ARE YOU?? Lol
Exactly - I was like - did I accidentally switch to Morgan Donner?
@@JudyCZ I was going to ask if Morgan had infected Rachel with her love of mock-ups Lol.
Same reaction, tbh.
I’m very disappointed there was no “batwinging it” pun when talking about the bodice.
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT
MISSED OPPORTUNITY 😂😂😂
Rachel: holds the poison apple cup with pumpkin coffee
Me: watching this while holding the same cup full of hot chocolate "... excellent"
I would’ve screamed in delight
I want that cup so much, lol
Me, holding the same cup full of tea while watching this: “The cult trifecta is complete.”
Just coming here to tell you I saw someone wearing a recreation of this dress in the wild this year. You're a legend.
This is so unexpected and exactly what I want
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I agree
Same..
You’ve missed the chance to call them “baterials”
Aw MAN 😂😂😂😂
I love the apparently universal reality that sewing machines are sentient, severely bipolar beings here to mess with us. Machines feeling good today? Wonderful! Machine is in a "mood" "oh you're eating all of my fabric? Sure. Nothing I can do about it"🤣🤣
LITERALLY. Mines named Ghastly Bespoke (6 billion points to whoever's guesses that reference without googling) and I swear I catch myself babying him at times. Like "be nice today", "stop eating the fabric please" and cleaning him all the time 😂😂
@@robynwilson9227 gotta be skulduggery for sure!
@@mlejb4 Heck yeah! SPOT ON Fellow human with EXQUISITE taste! 😊😍💕😁😁
@@robynwilson9227 😁😁 it's been a few years since I last read through them and now I see that the story is still going! So keen for another read through!
And this is why I hand sew
Honestly, Rachel Maksy is so motivating to me - I don't have a lot of space in my house so I cut literally everything sitting on my office floor. I feel seen haha!
“There’s something that orange and black does to me... on a spiritual level”
My dad would agree. He has collected about 200 children’s Halloween books and reads all of them every year.
Im more of a black and purple/green kinda chick, ngl :>
Your dad sounds wonderful 🥺
Your dad sounds like an amazing person.
I know without a doubt he must have Georgie in his collection. If he wants recommendations he should get Space Witch, not very well known in my opinion. I looove that book and the art is so great. Now I totally want my own halloween book collection! What a great idea
Kate Johnson thanks for the recommendations! I’ll certainly tell him.
Look it look- it’s fricken bats. I *love* halloween.
"We're about diving into projects and thinking about it later." I have NEVER related so hard to a statement. Every single sewing project I've ever done comes with a halfway point where I realize I should have put way more thought into it. 😬
the little 'dis is wot i have' when she's showing the poofy sleeves is one of the most adorable things I have ever heard
“But make it Halloween!” Another series idea!
Yes plz!!
YESSS
YAS
How i live my life:
I love that idea.
the second it hits September, Rachel really says “Ah yes, Halloween is now”
I read that in her voice
Because it is
and she's right
Well she ain’t wrong 😏
She would fit in the Eurovision bubble, the moment May hits we're like that.
That bottom skirt ruffle is crazy dedication!! Frodo's mlem interlude is the perfect example of all sweet doggos. The "no read scritches please" is exaclty the thing our pupper does too. The Benedict Cucumber moment was absolutely hilarious. That and the pool floaties are possibly the fav comedic part of the video. I may no be crazy about Halloween (which I say on the internet a the risk of being moidered) but this is so cute and I think you really did nail the look of the strawberry dress. Annnnd your hair done up curly and short is so adorable and you pull it off magnificently.
so true. the benedict cackledoodle moment had me laughing way more than it should
beautiful! These made me realize I never want to make a dress, I can see why the designer charges what she does
"I will start with a mockup" words never expected to be heard on this channel
p.s. Batman and Robin: But Make It Vinatge
“There’s just something that orange and black does to me on a spiritual level..”
SAME.
I saw someone on tiktok design a 'blueberry dress' to fit their aesthetic which prompted me to draw my own design! I called it the citrus dress and it carried the same silhouette as the original but was yellow and covered with little orange, lemon and lime slices 😍
With the time you have spent ruffling and gathering, you might consider adding a ruffler foot to your sewing tool arsenal. The dress is adorable.
Imagine an acorn dress!
Green ground with sheer brown fabric with lots of acorns on it. Hell yeah.
That would be so adorable!
Oh, that would be so cute - and could definitely be made to match a more hobbity aesthetic as well.
K now I want one really bad...
I may be really late to this but I am totally feeling the acorn dress ideas. I absolutely will be making one 🥰
Kind of disappointed that you didn’t change „several bad puns later“ into „several bat puns later“ 🦇
Corpse Bride, yes! I'd like to see you recreate Emily's wedding dress.
arsenic and old lace is definitely my favorite halloween movie! the perfect mix of vintage and spoopy!
Okay, random thought: sailor moon, but make it vintage! Rachel! Dooooo it!
...Very yes! Also Halloween version
Sailor Jupiter would be perfect for Rachel!
Oh goodness!!! Yes please!!!!!
Y E S
Yes!! :D
Therapist: “So what cured your depression?”
Me: “Halloween strawberry dress.”
Also the excessive use of the “Crispin Glover laughing” meme gives me life.
Nicole Weeks Saaaaame, also love when she quotes the density line from BTTF in her videos - Rachel just gets me 💁🏽♀️
BATS! Thank you for making my dreams come true.
Such a great dress, maybe wear a cotton t-shirt under it to stop the scratching. Movies for Halloween: Rocky Horror, The Craft, Practical Magic, and any old creature features on the old movie channels. Blessings

"I'm assuming some people just go braless with this..." *laughs in DD*
i think the last time i willingly left the house without a bra i was still in high school. i've jumped from a full C/small D to an H in the 20 years since then
@@Keeperoffyre Last time I left the house without a bra, I cheated. I was wearing a corset/bodice tank over my t-shirt.
@@Z.A.M.1359 If I ever don't feel like wearing a bra I just throw on a hoodie.
I don't think I've gone braless since I was about 11. 😳
It just feels wrong. Even if I could, I wouldn't. Size E's need to be held in place, otherwise they'll be down to your stomach. 🤣
I’m a 41 DD, and I left my house last night in a my new pj crop top, to go get a waffle cone, realized that the crop top is too small to cover all of the “goods” cut to me grabbing napkins as a blanket in the drive through.
ok but imagine the possibilities! A sun dress, a snowflake dress, a star dress, a Christmas tree dress! pls do a christmas one!
what about holly instead of christmas trees?
Kathleen Greening a frog dress pls
Lirika Matoshi does a ton of star dresses, that's kind of the brands thing, and they are gorgeous
Love the result! I would've left the orange part off the sleeves entirely when there wasn't enough fabric, but I've lived through a couple iterations of translucent sleeve fashion, so what was obvious to me may not have been something that occurred to you.
Finally someone who understands that Halloween starts in early september
Also I was sewing the ruffle on my own dress and I literally gave up a week ago
Can you make Sophie’s Dress from Howl’s Moving Castle sometime?
please please please
YES

Hahahaha HAD TO
Ava is sooo cute I love her 😂💕
I love at the beginning at. 0:17
She says. “ it’s spooky time b!ch”
I would wear a dress like that any time of year, not just on Halloween.
Suggested times
Picking up coffee at the grocery store
Renewing a passport
Buying Pumpkin Spice anything
Restocking Halloween candy for non-existent trick or treaters....

Mad respect 😂
the truth is no one's boobs look like that without special help from something.
@@connieturner6575 so true
yes, people, Halloween season starts in September or it's all year round.
And love the dress!! It's the bat dress!
Hahaha YES 'swhat I'm sayin'
Given Xmas stuff is already in the stores, hell yeah to Halloween starting in September!
You spelled "August", wrong.
@@thisistheaccountname Lol😂 same👻
@@thisistheaccountname lol here is Aus is usually september and I have started seeing it already, which is bad enough, August would be much much worse!
Can we just appreciate how much darn work Rachael puts into her videos for us..
Sadly some critics are just here to be ugly but I watch Rachel and it is not as easy as it look you are good Rachel no pretenses
Would you make a moth man costume? Must be sexy and have wings. I was thinking cocktail dress style.
It's finally here
You should “but make it vintage”, the Sanderson sisters.
Pleeeeeeese do the Sanderson sisters! Love make it vintage ☺️
The Sandersons are already.... pretty vintage. Dust, cobwebs, centuries old hairstyles- they vintage. Vintage witch on lock.
Take the 1693 styles…but make it 1623

Me: oh wow a late upload. Wonder why?
Rachel: I'm giving myself three days!
Oh noooooo
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
One of these days I'm going to make a sewing/costube bingo card and "Vastly underestimating the amount of time the project will take" is going to be the free space.
This is one of my favorite alt/goth sewing tutorials out there. Very creative and the final result is beautiful.
Ruffles down the hallway, classic! Always fun to watch your sewing adventures and it turned out awesome!
Me reading the title: I don’t think anyone will ever really understand me as much as Rachel does
Okay but we need a *goblincore one with sparkly mushrooms and like a little frog 🥺
Yessss!
all the magic dresses! ALL OF THEM!
YES OMG
That’s goblincore
Yes!! I need more magical version of the strawberry dress!!
This looks so cute and I love it! So much respect to how much work you poured into this.
Omg, this is fantastic! And I just love the way you make everything work in the reveal: the hair with the bats, the make up, the music and all the effort you put in your projects... you’re such an inspiration
God bless Editor Rachel, by her hand we are granted enlightenment (and that primo sass).
Now I have to be sad that I can’t have the strawberry dress OR the bat dress 😭
love the energy of your videos, and the dress is amazing.
Your commentary is literally hilarious. Thank you so much for being a ray of sunshine!
Rachel: *puts a stuffed bra on her dress form so it matches her bust measurement*
My mind: *blown*
Its a handy tip! I started doing it many moons ago when I realized my adjustable dress form wasn't THAT adjustable. You can also put undies/nylons on the form and stuff those as well for your hips/bum. Side note: I got into the habit of covering my form when not in use after a truly mortifying dinner party. She now has a caftan she wears when she isn't "working"
@@PacakeQueen thats what drag queens do on rupauls drag race sewing challenges!
I pin a small pillow to the back of the dress form because it doesn't have a butt, but I do 🙈
I have to remember to cover my dress form because I had to do the same thing, but am too lazy to not just leave it there xD. Padding out dress forms is a pretty common practice for sewing though! Definitely gets a little saucy sometimes though lol
@@PacakeQueen 😂
Me: oh that would probably work great with a pumpkin-y coloured soft chiffo-
Rachel: *gets the shiniest, slipperiest polyester organza known to man*
Oh boy here comes trouble. There's a reason even seasoned dressmakers despise that stuff.
I wore one (!!!) organza dress in my entire life and I hold so much hatred for the fabric. I don’t know why it tore, but now the skirt is shredded enough that I just wear it as a zombie costume. I couldn’t even imagine sewing with it.
me being dumb as always just bought an cute organza but i have sewed only twice *face palm*
@@martabrakanska4757 Wishing you the best of luck 💖💖💖
Honestly it's a testament to her talent and determination that she not only came up with an impressive take on a not-simple dress, but did it using actual demonic fabric. I feel like organza is one of those lessons all sewers learn at some point - it looks so pretty and shimmery you get drawn in, then before you know it you're in ripping, slippery, itchy hell!
And using a pumpkin color chiffon would prob have left less of a Walmart seasonal Halloween decoration that you find on the floor on the middle of the aisle because organza is just. So. Shiny. and it looks tacky imo
watching these is super useful because you break down the process of making things so well, I would never have tried making clothes from scratch before finding this channel.
Your videos are so fabulous. I adore the retro music while we watch you sew; very nostalgic. Thank you
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like "YAASSSSS! Rachel Maksy is queen!"

I love the dress. Soooo pretty and Halloweeny!
Thanks so much Rachel for making me smile & laugh at your crazy self!!! Love anything vintage!!
"For this top, I will start with a mockup material."
I'm glad I was seated. xD
Does it mean scrap material? I don't sew so I missed the joke 😣
@@rubylace9963 a mockup is scrap material or cheap cotton used to test the pattern to make sure it fits before you cut out your expensive nice fabric and find out that you made a terrible mistake with the pattern and it doesn't fit. She rarely uses a mockup, but it is highly advised to do so.
@@4SlowFashion Ohhh thank you so much!
I SPOILED IT FOR MYSELF BY READING THE COMMENTS. RACHEL DID A MOCK-UP!!!
yay rachel!!!!!
Bertram will be most thrilled, Rachel is going goth!
Will she be listening to goth music then?
@@pumpkinghost1792 while simultaneously becoming elitist and pedantic one can ONLY hope~
I-
My exact thoughts hahaha
Y E S
The dress came out amazing!! This video was so fun to watch!
I love seeing so many people do different takes on this dress!
Me: 2020 is awful, I’m so exhausted I can’t feel joy
Me when I saw this dress: Is this.. SEROTONIN?
Rachel: cuts and pins fabric completely unobstructed
Me: WHERE'S FRODO????
Gorgeous. I'm so impressed with all the details that you included.
This is absolutely GORGEOUS! And you ARE a spooky queen!!!
"I just want to be a spooky queen."
That's it. That's the whole entire frikkin mood. Done.
THE STRAWBERRY DRESS COMES IN BLACK!!! I could not believe that people were freaking out over the pink when IT COMES IN BLACK!!!!!
Ye. They are gfs
I've always preferred Angelic Pretty and Baby the Stars Shine Bright's strawberry dresses in black too.
I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE THIS!!!I really love that you made it unique and your style.I love the final product!!
I always watch this video if it randomly pops up, but during halloween I watch it several times. It's such an amazing take on the strawberry dress and it makes my little goth heart happy! 😍🖤🖤🖤
this dress is everything and such a mood but the moment i realized the orange fabric was organza even i started to get itchy you poor thing!!!
Ĺ
My skin started crawling as soon as she showed it I cannot stand the texture of organza
It’s on eBay for $20
I didn’t like the original nearly as much as I like your version! I feel like it is a perfect party dress for the season
Wow! Love it! Totally amazing 🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼
Oh my gosh!! Absolutely love this!! Just found your channel a few hours ago and I'm already hooked!! ❤❤
I feel like September, October, and November Rachel is a whole other version of Rachel, and we love to see it :)
The strawberry dress just doesnt speak to me, BUT THIS SPEAKS TO ME DIRECTLY
I always have so much fun watching you have fun with your projects.
Loved how it turned out! You’re amazing Rach!
Glad I’m not the only person who went “It’s September so now I will pull out all of the spooky decorations”
I had a bad day on August 29 so I started then haha. But I usually save a few for October.
Hannah Craig I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad day! Hope things are better!
I mean, if Christmas season can start on early November...
Somewhere in California, Safiya Nygaard is extremely happy right now
Jenny Nicholson also :D
I thought so too !!! This is perfect for Safiya
Awwwwwww!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!! Absolutely Stunning!!!
I absolutely LOVED this one!!!!! You smashed it, girl!!! 👏👏👏
I'd love to see her make a Mabel sweater, or even one of the dresses the girls wore to the Northwest party!
Or how about a Make it Vintage for either Morticia Addams or Lilly Munster?
Don't they already have a little vintage on them?

Alternate title: Rachel actually makes a mock-up 🤯
I'm so glad to see a hot take on this dress that doesn't look like a Strawberry Shortcake cosplay. I love 🧡 what you've done with this idea! Can you do a winter version that's the strawberry dress...but snowflakes; your felt lining techniques will come in handy for the New England winter ❄️
Terri Ann Swallow It would be Elsa meets Instagram Couture!
Nice idea. But I don't think she would enjoy doing the same thing AGAIN (just with different fabrics). She was obviously fed up, which I totally get.
This was in my recommended. I have never been more pleased
This video gives me such a serotonin boost every time I watch it
"Batman Burlesque" needs to be a real thing
It's a thing in the nerdlesque community!🦇
I thought you were going to do a poison apple “strawberry dress”. The bat black and orange strawberry dress came out epic.
My top 5 Halloween movies are in no particular order: 1.) Hocus Pocus 2.) Beetlejuice 3.) Practical Magic 4.) Ghostbusters 5.) The Monster Squad
Omg a poison apple dress is SUCH A GOOD IDEA
I love practical magic!!
This is the cutest!
Great job!
That dress is adorable. I like it better than the strawberry dress.
