    To the people upset about her “destroying” the original design in the shorts, the original was not well made. It’s not a valuable vintage piece. If she didn’t upcycle it, it would have ended in a landfill.

    I actually love that you took an old dress and made it fashionable bc throughout history, people couldn’t afford to buy new outfits as the fashion trends changed so they would just redesign old garments to fit the stylish new look

      Except she actively destroyed someone’s history. Not to mention she’s not hurting for money. She could have bought a cheaper new dress and done the exact same thing. It’s sad to see a beautiful piece ripped up for the sake of fashion.

    People should stop getting upset about up cycling clothes and furniture.. so much of this stuff ends up in the landfills or gets destroyed. And honestly if I'm paying my own hard earned money to buy something, I have all the rights to make something out of it that would bring me joy and suits my taste better. So unless the creator is 'destroying' some priceless antique DO NOT THROW SHADE.. be happy that they are sharing their creations with you. And if something's bothered you so much then scroll down..

      I agree, there are so many vintage wedding dresses that end up in landfills. She’s actually making use of something that would otherwise get thrown away. Despite what social media might make it seem, there aren’t that many people out here actually flipping thrifted items.

      @@evelynhronec452 you don’t even know that. I know many people who have whole collections of vintage wedding dresses. You’re just spewing crap out of your mouth to justify what she did. I can’t imagine the heartbreak of the person if they had to sit there and watch how she tore it apart to be modern. She could have easily gotten a cheap dress and done the same thing without absolutely destroying someone’s history. Bffr.

    Kiana, I think you shouldn't worry as much about other people's opinions on your creative liberty. Sure, you're a content creator but at the end of the day, it is your dress! Anyways, I think a cool video/series idea would be how to create a capsule wardrobe and then you could make vlogs of you making each piece and then a final styling video or something!

    It was a stained, badly made, 1970s, mass made dress. She took it and made a silk purse out of a sows ear. I used to buy dresses like this for my children’s dress up box and they got trashed. Now it has a new life. Beautiful. I would LOVE to see it dyed a beautiful colour after the wedding….

    Just come across your stream and had to look at what you did with a (let’s face it, not very nice) outdated dress from a thrift store. And you aced it!
    I doubt many people would have looked at that dress and thought they could do anything with it and paying $50 for it - it could have been a complete waste of money. I think I would have given up when I saw those dreadful seams and darts!! The 1970s have a lot to answer for but I don’t think I ever saw anything quite that bad - and it was probably quite expensive at the time.
