I forgot she was from England and she said her dress was 15 pounds I thought she meant it was 15lbs and I almost freaked 😂
Oops sorry 😂

Lolol ...
Have you shopped on pretty little thing or fashion nova? They're both pretty good for different styles. Theyre both online but they have so many different things I'm sure you'd find some more things that you'd love from there
Ugh
OMG I KNOW RIGHT???
I am SO glad you made this video.
I've been an above-knee amputee for almost 28 years, and in that time I have destroyed almost every single pair of pants I've ever owned. The only pants I haven't been able to destroy are my Duluth Trading Firehose work pants and one pair of Wrangler work pants, really heavy canvas and ripstop stuff. And even those, the seam by the hip, where the top edge of my socket rubs against the stitching, has opened up on all of them. And I don't know how to fix it, I can't ram a needle through all those layers.
The bipeds just. don't. get. it. How fast having limbs made of things like titanium and aluminum and carbon fiber destroys fabric.
And I'm a guy! I make furniture for a living! My wardrobe is function only at this point. And it's still frustrating. NOTHING FITS PROPERLY ARRRGH.
Did I mention, thank you for making this video?
try reaching out to the companies for replacements or custom stuff

Legman688 awwh
Duluth warranty might cover that.
Nah, she's busy doing 15-year-old-girl things, and that is perfectly okay.
I never thought about how dangerous tripping would be with no arms, wow
Well she does have arms, just not forearms.
I just flip onto my side
I wonder what her mom looks like because she's absurdly pretty for her age. She has a fantastic aura, her parents raised and incredible girl.
I still can't get over the fact that your not older. A while back I realized we were the same age and you look much older. Your also much prettier than me😂
Storie Armstrong damn right
It's better to mindfully cultivate your own style than slavishly follow the fashion trends anyway. As you mentioned, not everyone has a body type that fashions would flatter.
Yeah but sometimes the fashion trends are so prominent in the shops that most of the things they sell are the trends and it's hard to find much else.
“embrace the differences and be unique” so inspiring. ❤️
I work at a clothing store and, honestly, I’m ashamed to say I’ve never thought that much about inclusivity there. We just added a plus section (not at our store, but the other one in my city) but honestly... we should be trying harder to be inclusive to people of all different shapes, sizes, and needs. It truly isn’t fair because not everyone fits or even likes the same things.
this was so helpful for my textiles!! your makeup is popping in this video too💘💘
Thank you so much cx
You are so freaking beautiful and your makeup and style is amazing, I love it ❤️
You’re so inspirational! I love watching your videos and it makes me more positive about my life x🥰
Thank you, Isabelle, for the last point you made in this video and for expressing it in such a great way! ♡
P.S.: Your videos always show up in my notifocations :-)
But I have recently heard other UA-camrs voice the same problem!
Love this young ladies self confidence & personality. Her parents did GREAT !!! It ALL begins at home.
For the record, Izzy, after watching your videos, I see a regular girl with spunk, style, and grace. Kudos for your work-arounds!
I REALLY love this girl!!
I'd love if you did another Q&A vidio; and here are a few of my questions:
(I apologize in advance if any of these questions make you uncomfortable, and I understand if you don't want to answer them)
1. In your shower (or something else where you don't wear your legs), do you have to have shelves and/or faucets lowered so that you can reach them, and do you have any other part of your home modified?
2. How tall are you without your legs on, and does the doctor measure your height with your legs on or off?
3. (This is sort of related to the last one) Can you stand on your stumps, or do you have to sit, and how well can you get around without your legs on? And if you do have to sit, is your hight measured when you are sitting?
That outfit is super cute!!, you got a nice wardrobe girl!!♡♡♡ love your accent by the way!
you are the absolute cutest, i love you
You are such an inspiration! And also super pretty!! xx
Do you guys have 3/4 sleeved shirts over there for winter???? I think it could suit you well
England has zero 3/4 sleeved T-shirt’s
@@mrkrabs805 England does have 3/4 s
Shutter Star yeah I know it was a joke ahaha obviously we have 3/4 sleeved T-shirt’s
I've managed to increase durability of some clothes with a mix of silicone (type1) and cornstarch. It's like sugru, but much cheaper. Also, if you find the right nerd on etsy; they'll sew up all kinds of custom clothes.
mrmree
What do u mean about using silicone and cornstarch?
dreas mom
People call it oogoo. I'll mix a 1:1 cornstarch and silicone (depending on the desired stiffness); it will stick to just about anything and cures in about 10 minutes. So you could; in theory, use it like a patch/padding. I use it for shoes, old jeans, or even my aquarium. It's good stuff
You carry yourself as an 18 year old (my age) and you’re so pretty. Keep up with the positivity
I love your channel i’m learning so much xxxx
love ya , I'm from the middle east 🙆🕌📿🌍💞and when I have a problem I just remember how strong you are and it makes me keep going strongly💪 God bless you 🙏
Love you!! 💕💕
DAMN your awesome!! your attitude and spirit are inspiring, thanks for the video!! :)
The black top with the stars is fricken cute as heck. You have awesome style.
You’re incredible girl and you always look amazing but I agree they do need to be more inclusive !!!xxxxxx
Thank you so much. Totally it’s so annoying xx
Dont mind me staring at you for like half a minute, your make up is just so beautiful
amputee or not, you're still just ridiculously pretty, and seem like such a good soul!
omg I have been subscribed since 6k and just realised your at 62k!!!
You're very inspiring and very very pretty. You go girl!
Liked as soon as i heard shawn 😂❤️ Loved the video ur so lovely ☺️
You are so beautiful, inside and out...I just love your personality. 💜
I seriously want to be your friend, you seem so incredibly nice!
Omg why cant i have your eyebrows. They look amazeee 😱❤️
She is so very beautiful. I wish her so much happiness!
You're so pretty!x
I just love you and your vids! ❤️😘
You could wear a dustbin bag and still look great
Good luck with GCSE’s
you're STUNNING
I love you who you are and 🌈team work makes the dream work! 🌈
U have a beautiful style. Even with restrictions u've found amazing outfits!
I've always thought that it doesn't matter the style it is how well you pull it off! I like the colors.
With coats, you should maybe try getting one you like and get someone to alter it for you? If they take the cuffs off and cut the sleeves to fit your arm length and resew the cuffs on, then I reckon you could have yourself a coat that will definitely keep you warm 💕 watching this video I've been trying to think of ways you could get around the fashion styles you said you couldn't wear by alterations. It's a shame their isn't a fashion line somewhere that has amputee's in mind (unless there is, I don't know!)
i love you so much!
Regarding your vest use for cold weather - In my youth I used to ride motorcycles, and I foiund in a second-hand shop a sueded sheepskin vest with the wool on the inside. The wool was insulating so that, if I left it open I was cooled against the sun in spring and fal, and closed it was quite warm in winter. You might look for one or similar, perhaps a wool-lined denim like the one you showed.
I just discovered you while watching barcroft videos and decided to visit your channel to give my support and say how impressed I am
Izzy you are my idol ❤️!
I've always struggled finding clothes cause I'm short & skinny (can't gain weight to save my life!!) When my mom would take me clothes shopping when I was younger, I would always get so mad cause we'd have to go to the kids section. Nothing in juniors/young adult would fit me, and definitely nothing in women's would fit! I was happy when I got older & an adult and more clothing companies starting making size 0, but even then they don't always fit. I still have a lot of clothes that are kids size, same with shoes and even underwear. Kids clothes aren't always mature looking and can look pretty kiddish! All my pants I have to cut & my mom use to hem them for me for but she got sick in 2013 & passed in 2015. (I can't sew to save my life!) And luckily I never wear dresses or skirts cause they are always way too long and I can't afford to pay a seamstress to sew them for me and make them short enough. And I don't like mini skirts and short dresses cause I have ghostly pale chicken legs and get made fun of. All through school I dealt with bullies about my size and majorly picked on! Now as an adult, I still get picked on by strangers that think I'm on drugs cause I'm so skinny and I know it looks unhealthy but I've tried everything and can't gain weight to save my life!! Even following diets from dr's I just can't gain weight and i absolutely hate it!! I'd love to put on 20lbs, and would be so happy if I could!!
go to a store where they sell sewing items and get hem tape, it comes in a pkg and you cut item to where you would normally fold it to hem it and instead of sewing/hemming it you cut the hem tape to the length you need and just fold the material over it and iron it its fast, easy and lasts just like a hem...oh btw its cheap also.
Hey I have a question! Do you sometimes feel like ..phantom hands ? Or almost like you can still feel them without thinking about it ofcourse there?
You always look amazing regardless.
I found it really interesting that you feel the heat more because you don’t have extremities. Do you remember it being different before your amputation?
Philip Malaby - probably because the body uses the surface area and sweat to control heating - she's lost a significant amount of surface area to do so - and all prosthetics insulate to some extent, increasing the issue. There's probably something I'm missing, but yes, very interesting.
Keep in mind that although she has less body mass than a non amputee, her heart is pumping blood as if it had to reach her missing extremities. With a smaller circulatory loop the blood likely returns back to her core warmer than average person since it’s not able to dissipate heat out through the skin of those missing extremities. Just my educated guess fwiw...
Girl don't feel bad! I don't wear jeans either. I'm sensitive to temperature changes so I have to wear summer clothes all year round. No long sleeves, no long pants. No matter how cute it is, I know I can't wear it.
I know due to my disability I can only wear clothes that can stretch, no buttons/zips, nothing tight etc...clothes shopping is nightmare if you are even slightly different. My clothes get damaged too due to my wheelchair and a lot of falls. lol
Me too, I bought I nice lacy cardigan off the internet (cheap, thankfully) and it’s been destroyed around the bottom from bits of my wheelchair. My worst thing is not being able to wear a bra, it hurts too much.
Oh the joy of wheelchairs lol if it's not relatively tight and stretchy or short it's not going on
I'm not sure what your price range is, but Tommy Hilfiger has an adaptive line of clothing that is supposed to be easier for people with different disabilities to wear
What disability do you have? How easy is it to type?
You ROCK girl.....love you ;o)))
I absolutely Love your style❤️The top with the stars is Super Cute💕You are Sweet and Adorable Izzy💕Hugs🤗Much Love💕God Bless You Sweet Izzy💖
love how you play with your hair while talking
You should do like a outfits of the week video, that would be cool!
Where did you get your shirt! I love it so much!
Ur beautiful x
Just wondering, you may not be comfortable sharing this but how do you manage bras? do you go for sports type ones that dont have a clasp or something? Cause I'm sure normal bra clasp things would be a struggle for you to try and do up
I’m fine with bras. It took a while to figure out the best way but I’m good now.
I wondered the same thing
wow really insightful.. not. gotta ask someone else
I just slip mine on like a T-Shirt anyways, even though I have no impairments except poor coordination.
wow you are really beautiful!
You're so cool! 😁
Have you ever thought about hemming long sleeved shirts or jackets? It's not common nowadays for clothes to be customized because they comes in an array of sizes, but there are still places that tailor clothes. Or, if you know someone who can sew, they may be able to shorten the sleeves of your jacket(s), so you can wear what ever you like without having to worry about the length. I love that you are showing how limited cloths are for people with disabilities, and I hope that you can open the conversation for more inclusive clothing lines. Until then, good luck!!!
would it help to get a winter jacket hemmed. I imagine it can get pretty cold in the winter
you highlight my every weakness. you are amazingly beautiful.
What do you wear if it cold or raining
Obviously I wouldn’t know better than you, but have you found any sort of elasticated denim shorts? They don’t have buttons, they’re kind of like a jegging waist but then slightly looser at the bottom. If buttons are your main issue with those that might solve it!
Also, damn, I’d hate to go without skinny jeans. It’s all I own :’)
Have you ever just cut the sleeves of shirts or do you always roll them up if needed?
(Good luck with your exams this year!)
I love you accent😍 although I'm still struggling in understanding it😂
( I'm from germany)
what's the intro song called??? Xxx
An Amazing person !!

How do you dress in winter?
Just found you. You're awesome. Keep being great!
You would love Aerie, by American Eagle (I know you don’t live in the US) but it’s so beautiful how they have all these models of different sizes and different disabilities
💗💗💗💗💗
You should do a video on how you do you hair
You're absolutely gorgeous..wow
what is that music in the background? it seems everyone on youtube plays it
What about buying a warm coat and getting the sleeves hemmed to your arms?
Yo, I got more questions, are you editing these videos yourself?
