In this sewing video I attempt to make my own version of these $495 Rhode dress using men's shirts from the thrift store. So, in a way this is kind of an upcycle, thrift flip and "making clothes I can't afford" sewing video. I hope you enjoy it!!! As always, I appreciate you who watch!! Thank you for being here and happy sewing!!

Not only is the dress great, with a great fit… but your video and instructions… sooooo good.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words😊❤️
the mark of a good sewist - good construction. the mark of a great sewist - ability to pivot a project! well done!!!
Thank you so much!! Your comment just made my day!! 😊❤️
I was about to say something similar, but Debra said it better. Way to go thinking outside the box. Not everyone would consider just trying the garment in reverse and moving on from there. Having that kind of thinking will take you a long way. Your grasp of concepts, colour/pattern combination, your creativity reworking/upcycling is so amazing to see, and so it your NEAT WORK. Chef's kiss for this one, girl!
Couple pro tips you might love later: save the button bands from men's shirts for an easy peasy closure on a million projects. I keep mine buttoned together so they don't get lost. You can for sure mix and match them even if the button spacing is different., just swap out the buttons - mix and match them. Buy one of those random button bags at the thrift store and spend some tv/music time sewing them loosely to a square of matte fabric like black velveteen and hang it on your wall as an art/inspiration piece. Then just snip off the ones you want when you need them, and you can pick them easily by holding your project up to them.
Keep up the artistry! Can't wait to see what you do next
Perfectly executed! Beautiful finished dress!!! ❤
Thank you so much!!😊
Girl the way you switched up the design after already sewing lets me know how much of a real deal designer you are !!! You just taught me a valuable lesson No matter how deep into the project if I have a better idea it's best to try it. Your dress turned out so pretty I showed my mom and she agrees (We're both trying to learn how to sew wearable clothes lol) Really nice job!!!
Awww thank you so much!! Your comment is so sweet, you just made my day!☺️ I bet you’ll both be making wearable clothes in no time haha
Wrap dress was my first choice! I am glad you switched it. This came together beautifully!
That’s funny because that was my first choice too but then I changed my mind haha but thank you so much!! 😊
The dress came out so cute ❤. And your explanations are fantastic, very easy to follow.
That makes me happy to hear! Thank you so much!!😊
So, so cute!!! We'll done!!!❤
Thank you so much!!😊
You make me want to start sewing for myself again
Aw thank you!! You definitely should!! 😊
the wrap dress is so much cuter
Thank you!!! I’m glad I switched haha 😊
Outstanding! Great video. Your explanations are awesome. Dress looks great on you! Well done.
Thank you so much!!😊
It's really cute and pivoting to a wrap dress was a good choice.
Thank you!!☺️
I think the two solid colors ending up on the front was a great move! It really highlights your face versus the multiple patterns felt a little too busy. It turned out a so cute!!
I love your perspective because now I realize that’s probably what was putting me off from using the back as the front. Thank you!! 😊❤️

I’m a few seconds in and I already subscribed to your channel. Tysm!
Awww thank you!! I appreciate the support!!😊❤️
I have never subscribed so quickly! You remind me of my mother! She would make masterpieces from nothing without a pattern for herself and us! It's about having that eye for innovation by the way of an artiste! This is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing this! Going thrifting w a whole new set of eyes!
Aww thank you so much!! I love that! It’s the best part about sewing for me!!😊
Your result is wonderful!
Thank you!!😊
That’s so cute!

Wow, it came out so lovely!!! 🎉 I am now interested to make something similar, I have a few mens dress shirts from my father in law.
Thank you so so much!! You definitely should give it a try!
Good grief, I wish I had your talent. Amazing what you did - from pictures! It's just amazing.
Awww thank you so much!! ☺️❤️
love the dress!!! :)

How delightful! Looks really good, nice flowing swing.
Thank you so much!! The swing is my favorite part!😊
Wow! You are super talented girl! I love the final product!
Thank you so much!!😊
Why not hit the like button! Great tutorial! ❤️❤️
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊❤️
i love this!! i don't know why when i saw this dress in a different form it seemed so much harder to make but it's really not!
Right! Some of these dresses look so complicated haha but once you study it a bit you realize they’re all doable. Thank you so much for watching!!
Love that you are wearing a previous make!
So sweet of you to notice😊☺️ thank you for watching
I think it is cute idea for a trift flip & I will hunt some shirts down for a skirt. You would benefit from setting your machine better though - the seams are visibly coming apart a little. But beside that such a great job!
I was a bit short on time and rushing through my project but you’re absolutely right! Have to make those adjustments. Thank you for watching!!!
Love your content. So happy you have posted!
Awww thank you so much!! Such a sweet comment 😊❤️
Its really cute, the wrap is a great choice
Thank you!! 😊

i took a close look at the claudine skirt - i think there's 2 major differences in your pattern vs theirs. Your rectangles - the base of the skirt - are much wider to begin with. It looks to me like they have 10 rectangle pieces (and your original count of godets was correct haha!) The other major difference is that, at least from the looks of the stripes on the fabrics, that your triangles are narrower or shaped differently than theirs. I think that maybe their triangles are flared from about halfway or 2/3's down the triangle side, making the stripes perpendicular at the hem and giving an added dimension to the dress both in visual pattern change as well as added flair. I had been wondering why your dress looked so different, and I think I figured it out. I learned something in the process and i hope you enjoy wearing your dress!!
You’re right! I love how attentive you are to detail and now I want to recreate the Claudine with store bought striped fabrics (vs thrifted shirts) just because I like the challenge of recreating clothes exactly as they are sometimes haha. I enjoyed reading your observations 😁
@@shay_made I'll have to look out for your follow up video to see how it goes - happy sewing!
Wow
nice!
Thanks!😊
So glad I found your channel. Great video. I'm inspired. ❤
I love to hear that!! Thank you so much for watching!!😊❤️
So Cute Sister❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!😊
What a great idea with your wrap dress!! I’m going to try it too. You have inspired me. 😃
I bet it’s going to come out so cute! Glad you enjoyed the video😊
Love it!
Thank you!!😊
Amazing!! I love it when sewists make expensive stuff for themselves, turned out beautiful!!
Also what is the seam allowance when you double fold?
Thank you so much!!😊 Since it’s a rounded edge along the triangles I did half an inch seam allowance and folded a quarter inch and then another quarter inch. You want a super narrow hem when hemming a curved edge.
@@shay_made Ooo noted ✍️🏾
Thanks!!
It’s listed at $830 CAD on the Canadian site. They also offer free shipping on orders over $800 CAD. 😬
Wow, yea that’s all the motivation needed to rather DIY it haha
Can you tell me what the music is at the end of the video please?
