    Thank you so much Thrive Market for sponsoring this video!
    OKAY so for this week, my brain decided: You know what? We're going to make something overly complicated. And so here we are! Something I've been toying with for a while is how to maximize the use of the clothing that I make myself, and so I thought making a dress that can transform into a different dress would be a fun avenue to explore. ANYWHO my hand still hurts from how many snap fasteners I did, so uhhh enjoy lol.

    My mom badgered me until I wrote a comment: snap tape exists, it has snaps on it, you just sew it on. You don't have to hurt your hands, you can have snaps by just sewing. They also make hook and eye tape.
    Mom loves you and wants you to succeed and feels bad for your hands.

    Guess you haven't yet heard of snap tape? You often find it in the legs of baby clothes so you have easy access for changing diapers. It's two pieces of twill tape, one side having the male snap half and the other side has the female snap half. You sew it in using the zipper foot. It does make putting lots of snaps in a garment a little easier and less achy hands . Probably would have worked well around the ruffle.
    The dress turned out very cute. It was a novel idea and you made it work.

      Yes that cabinet was so cool!!
      I'm thinking maybe they're dog sitting? They do have more space now.

      Maybe she talked about it in either her Home Tour Video, her office Decorating Video or Just in Insta..idk 😅

    This is genuinely such a cool concept. Imagine traveling with a dress that has removable sleeves! Having a skirt and top out of this outfit too!! SO COOL

    Happy birthday! This was such a stinking cute project! The dogs multiplying was the best surprise! I love their universal need to lay on the patterns. Truly understood the assignment.

    Even if you never feel the call to transform mid-outing, this gives you four different garments that you can match with other things as well!

    Love it! Goes from "picnic in a field of wildflowers" to "vintage beach barbecue." Very clever!

    Everyone’s talking about all the different ways you can wear this dress, but what about all the different dogs in this video?

    I just want to say your channel has helped me tremendously. I’ve been experiencing a lot of depression and social media fatigue (my job involves sociql media) and I realized that the content I was listening to as background like true crime was just leaving me feeling more drained and tired and pessimistic. Its been so nice to come to your videos and feel like I’ve stopped by a friends house for tea and updates on projects. Thanks for your content and for being a nice respite from the world just by being you!

    The extra removed ruffle: that's what the matching tote is for. Shoulder strap, or waist line belt or 18c style hidden pockets/rump roll.

    Practicality definitely isn't underrated when it comes to clothing - we tend to forget this is ultimately about keeping you safe and warm from the weather conditions! Now you turned a vintage outfit into a modern one in - what? 30 seconds? If that isn't an accomplishment, I don't know what is. Happy birthday! :)

    My one experience with tearaway pants happened when I was a lowly freshman in high school and one of the seniors decided he needed to dash into my English class, hop up on a desk, and tear his pants off and twirl them over his head. I think he was wearing either shorts or boxers underneath, so it wasn't too traumatizing, but he was definitely single-handedly responsible for getting tearaway pants banned in the next year's dress code.

      lol, that's hilarious. My only high school experiences with tearaway pants were the sports team kids tearing away the below-knee portion of their pants as the day warmed up.

    I cannot help myself: please don't apologize for getting paid to make this free content! Your sponsor reads always comprise such a small percentage of your overall video, too. You've cultivated such a lovely space here that I have a hard time imagining people getting salty about 30-60 seconds of sponsored reads in your 20-30 minute videos. But to anyone who does have the audacity to be salty.. can I gently remind you that this is entirely free????
    Anyway, Rachel: you are great, your content is great, and you deserve to get paid for it.
    ok cool bye

    You could wear dress option #1 to a wedding and dress option #2 for the reception (just stash the ruffle in your car trunk). Happy belated Birthday!

    Side question: are those dogs all yours now? Did you start a doggy daycare? Was it a doggo party? I need answers 😄

    My youth I misspent. In middle-age, I paid the price for all that mis-spending. Nowadays, I am a batty old girl. I've reached that glorious age when one runs out of fluffs to give. Happy as a clam. Enjoy being 30, Rachel. I wish you well.
