    I've got to try this. Time to go shopping for a used long dress to make over. That new out fit looks so good on you. Plus, it looks as comfortable as you say it is. When you feel comfortable, and know you look good, you can think and work much better.

    I do not know why it has been so freaking hard for me to comprehend how the assembly of pants work. I find it so hard to imagine which seams are supposed to go where when I watch these tutorial videos, and I've been trying so hard for YEARS to find a good "skirt to pants" video that helps me get it. THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT DID IT. IT FINALLY CLICKED. OHMYGOSH. And now I feel so silly that I struggled so much to get it.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH

    Now, I LOVE this video !!! It's just what I've been searching for. I have a dress I'm wanting to turn into a pair of "umbrella pants." The dress has pockets in the sides, and, is lots like the dress you're working on in this video. I've been searching for (as I like calling it sometimes) a RECIPE (😂) to make myself some flare pants. Never knew how easy they will be to make until seeing your video here. I was scared to even just CUT the dress apart because I couldn't figure out how to get the correct size crotch area sewn. Now, with your tip on using already - fitted pants as a seam guide, I really feel comfortable with cutting the dress, now. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel. Am bout to go and make my "dress" pants, now. 😉 🙏 God Bless You and Yours !!! Thanks bunches again. 🙏😉😻❣️😍

With the way you showed how to make them using another pair for measurements, I finally was able to get the crotch area made correctly. TYSM for your advice. 😻❣️😍

We both found nice floral dresses for the wedding. I still have the dress but I don't care for the top because it is like the one in the dress you altered in this video. I envy you because you pulled of tying the top in front! I am to big busted to even think about doing that! But I am going to make the pants for sure!!! Thank you again!
