$13?! Making an 1860's Cinderella from Thrifted Quilt and Lace Curtain | Historical Disney
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Do you think it is impossible to make an impressive ballgown for under $20? What about under $15? Then buckle up for this adventure as I make an 1860's inspired Cinderella for $13.
It was for my work's Christmas party - Op Shop (Thrift) Glam. Whilst my colleagues went and bought a dress or outfit from the Op Shop, I instead bought a quilt and a lace curtain piece and transformed it into this cosplay meets historical costume. And I can honestly say, it was SO MUCH FUN!

As someone who makes costumes out of thrifted curtains/etc all the time, this is what I love to see! And it turned out beautifully!
Thank you so much!
zip ties for boning is genius idea omg, i was about to cut very thin strips of eva for that
Glad I could help
Yay!! I pretty much only use thrifted fabric for my vintage makes! It definitely adds the stress of “Will I have enough?” But I love the creativity in upcycling and the prices are a big bonus!!
The blue is just gorgeous! I love the lace! It’s so beautiful!!
My sentiments EXACTLY! It is sometimes fun to try and get creative with the fabric you have :)
Even at the 15 min mark I was feeling how you'll be the belle of the ball
Nawwww why thank you
I am impressed that you confidently assert that you don't need to take any prisoners right now. LOL
Exactly!
At first when I heard you were cutting up a quilt my gut reaction was no don't cut up a quilt! Then I saw the quilt wasn't truly a quilt. Quilts in thrift shops can be worth a large amount of money because they are super labor intensive along with the rarity and cost of fabric. Great work! Bonus points for the Dr Who shirt!💖💙
Some call it a quilt, some call it a duvet cover, some call it a Doona cover…
This turned out SO GOOD, I'm ded. I feel totally inspired to hit my local thrift shop!
Do the thing! Do the thing! I would LOVE you see what you would create you talented lady!
@@KirileeCosplay How do you always have such nice stuff in your thrift shops?
Where I live, I only find lame old clothing from plastic fibers. :/
I also love going to the thrift shop and up cycling finds there to medieval dresses 💕
Oh yeh! That would be amazing! And the best part is that they will be so unique AND you are helping the environment
Yes! Thrifting and sewing! Say what? I have 5 quilts and miscellaneous other sheet sets picked apart ready for outfits. It was so good to seeing you creatively make use of such useful lengths of fabric. Always a challenge but beautifully done!
I hope that you feel inspired and you will create something amazing soon! :) Thrift and sew indeed!
Yes the bows are big, but so is the Bertha. They balance each other out and make your waist look so tiny!
Thank you! I agree
Such a beautiful dress. Who would have thought that curtain would be just perfect? Not me. I really must start turning those sheets, duvets and table cloths I've thrifted into the clothing I bought them for.
Oh yes! The way I see it, you get some absolutely amazing patterns in curtains, duvets, sheets and table clothes that you can’t get off the roll in the fabric stores
@@KirileeCosplay You sure can, and getting them from the thrift store reduces the cost a large amount which is especially good if you have a low income.
Couldn’t agree more!
This dress is absolute beautiful
Thank you!
I love how it turned out!
Thank you so much
I love this dress. My very first sewing project was a pale blue 'pirates of the carribean' dress to wear to the second movie at gold class when I was 18. It had lace and side puffs just like this one (although no where near as nice as yours! Blue poplin lol). Who says first projects need to be simple ha ha.
Exactly right! :)
I love the bodice with the black pants. I would wear that out as a cool history bounding look
True!
It is amazing and absolutely beautiful! Who would of thought you make such a wonderful dress out of a bedspread and lace table runner. You have a fabulous imagination and way with sewing.
You know, with a bit of time and experience, I have found that I can start looking at things like this from an Op shop and see what I could turn them into :)
Fabulous job! You look beautiful in the dress, and I enjoyed watching your decision-making as you constructed it from your imagination. You’re incredibly talented! 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! It was a delight to create this dress
Impressed, jealous, inspired! glad you came up in my algorithm
Hey, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope you are inspired enough to give it a go yourself
Beautiful dress ; you looked gorgeous ❤️❤️👏👏🌼
Thank you!
This was such a fantastic project. Reminds me that I need to hit up the thrift store again
Yesss!!! You never know what treasure you will find
So glad to see others using recycled materials!!! It turned out absolutely amazing!
Thank you very much! Recycling products is the best!
Alright. I've decided that I'm ready to make my own garments. You have inspired me to make a Cinderella themed one. Thank you. ^^
YAY! Have fun with it!
@@KirileeCosplay I will. I'm currently working on a chemise as that seemed easy-ish to someone who has never sewn anything besides repairs before. 😂
What a wonderful project and video!
I love that some random strangers called you “Princess”! I’d say that underscores that you got the feel of a Disney Princess down!
Hahaha I guess you are right. So... YES!
I once made a period costume for a party out of curtains. It was by no way as beautiful and involved as yours, but I love the idea of using previously used material. Now on to your gown. It was so beautiful and I loved it. Thanks😊
I would love to see what you created! And YES! I agree with your sentiment
I seriously love your "makings"!!!! I must confess,, The more videos I watch the more I regret all those doona cover sets I have donated to Vinnies!!!!!
Thank you so much! And aas for the donations, don't be upset! You have potentially had someone else love what you donated. Plus, it can be hard to look at an item you've owned and see it in a different light.
This looks so great Kirliee! I love your creativity with this upcycle, and I'm such a fan of the 1860s Cinderella look!
Thank you hun! It was so much of a fun project!
My goodwill could NEVER.
They are typically like "you can have this sheet that we're pretty sure someone died on... It's ugly AF and It could be yours for only $35"
HAHAHAHA! I’ve been to those op shops too!
Wow, you are so talented!
Thank you! Cheers!
It's so amazing that you made that for only $13. And that you made that terrible looking lace look so pretty! I really love how it all turned out. ❤️
Thank you so much. It is very much nasty lace lol gathering it makes it look better I found
These videos always make me want to up my pyjama game. I am particularly envious of the greenish-blue batik ones in the middle of the video.
Oh why thank you! I made those ones myself ^_^
Hahaha I honestly love PJs and I decided to stop trying to hide the fact that I do all my crafting in PJs.
You are my new favorite person. I am now inspired to go look for fabric at my local thrift store and sew my own historical clothing
Hahaha why thank you!
And yes! Go and find something in a thrift store to give it new life!
Wow that’s a gorgeous dress! Even though I saw what it started out as I can hardly believe it, incredible!
Thank you!
It looks AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you so much!
OMG i adore you ... so glad you came up in my feed
Oh thank you!
Oh. My. Gods. It's so pretty! And this will sound weird, sorry, but with every one of your videos I watch I like you more and more. Such a cool fun approach and such stunning results, awesome!
Nawww no I get it. You are getting to know me and my personality the more you watch. I’ll take that as a big compliment ^_^ thank you!
🤩🤩🤩 from the thrift shop to the castle ballroom!! Beautiful!!
You can fool any prince with some craft ;)
It turned out just perfectly. A wonderful Cinderella make, for sure. I have so many fabrics upstairs from the thrift store, I really need to figure out what to do with them. Thanks for sharing.
Ohhhh if you need help, take a photo and shoot it to me. I’ll give you ideas lol!
@@KirileeCosplay Great. Thanks!
Get out, this is so darn fabulous! Also using zip ties as boning, you're a genius! Did you get the data back off your broken computer? Its the WORST when that stuff happens!
Thank you so much! Zip ties - easy enough to get from Bunnings when it can be difficult to source good quality synthetic whalebone. As for my computer - yes I did! Thank goodness! So I now have a backup drive with all my cosplay pictures and documents on.
@@KirileeCosplay such a good idea! And I'm glad to hear you recovered all your details! I had my laptop destroyed by water at a show last year, I had luckily backed it up a couple days before, it was stressful as though! Luckily it was covered by the event's insurance!
That is so lucky with the timing, though still unfortunate all the same
OMG You are the thrift queen. So beautiful.
Oh you are too kind! It honestly is just so much fun!
Thank you for using a table!
… okay? Why wouldn’t I? *ponders*
I absolutely love this dress!!! I want to make my own! Especially those sleeevveeess with the bows
Thank you! It was such good fun to make!
im in love with it ! youve really made me want to finish off my own now!
Yessss!!!! Do it!!! And then show it off to the world ^_^
It looks so good! And WOW did you make that iffy lace curtain into a stunning bertha!
Thank you so much! If there is one section I’m proud of, it is that lace and making it look better than it actually is!
I love your dress!!!! The lace valence (the curtain piece) is so pretty! It really ties the whole jacquard pattern of the brocade and it really makes the whole look very elegant. There arent enough words to describe how pretty that brocade is and how impeccable the final result is. Happy Holidays Kirilee!!!
Thank you so much Alaska! Happy holidays to you also!
Did you really make the zip ties joke more than one month before the Capitol Riots in the US???? Color me very impressed! Awesome project!
Hahaha I suppose I did.
Well, I didn’t see that coming
It looks awesome!
What a gorgeous dress!
Thank you! 😊
This the most beautiful than ANY Cinderella inspired dress 🥰🥰🥰.
Great job!
Nawww thank you!
Just found you! I'm a new follower. Loved how it turned out.
Thanks so much!
this is soo cool! i often make patchwork items out of op shop clothes, but im thinking about making a proper petticoat and skirts out of bedsheets, fingers crossed it is even remotely as cool as yours!!!
Go for it!
LOVE!!! I'm using that same TV bodice pattern for my Christmas project! This looks soooo good! I'm quite jealous of your thrift store!
It is a good bodice pattern! I think it is super flattering though you may want to play around the the Bertha size of you use it
@@KirileeCosplay Thanks!
looks so amazing! Well done!!!!!
Thank you hun!
This is glorious! I love how it came together. I feel all the inspiration to go make something out of this red brocade comforter that's just lounging around doing nothing. :) What kind of zipties do you use for boning? I've seen it mentioned before but not actually put into practice. Are they just super heavy duty size?
Go for it! That sounds amazing
As for the zip ties, I just get the pack with the widest and longest zip ties. Funnily enough, they do work a treat and are super easy to work with - please cheaper than boning
This came out so great
Thank you!
It looks great!!! Awesome job!!!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love how this turned out! You had such a good eye to find those pieces and put them together. Very inspiring to give thrifting fabrics a try - but first I have a stash of fabric to get through before I run out of space completely.... LOL!
Hahaha fair enough! I still have my stash but every so often I love to get a brand new challenge lol
This dress is enchanting and I just love it! You are quite talented and skilled!
Thank you so much for those very kind words
So I have been binging your videos to catch up. And I was excited for this one after seeing the insta pics! You so talented my friend.
NO YOU ARE! Miss you my lil sis
I love your personality and your editing!!! Lovely dress great work 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
Isso é muito interessante! Ficou lindo!
Obrigado
This is absolutely lovely!
You’re inspiring me to do a similar project.
Awesome! Using thrifted fabrics means that you are creating something that once has a different life and may have quickly ended up in landfill (it is sometimes what happens with pieces that don’t sell) - and if there is t the space within the shop, they will turn other items away which may end in landfill.
So you are doing a good deed!
I just discovered your channel and I love your cosplay build videos!
Thank you so much! That means so much to me :)
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Just gorgeus!!! Love the final piece. A black choker or neclace would've finalized the cinderella look. We don't have any parties this year though so a bit sad on that
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I did try it with a black ribbon because I thought the same thing- it just looked too harsh so I decided from the neck up to take inspiration more from the live action movie :)
@@KirileeCosplay ooohhh i can see that. Good choice!
Wow, amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really lovely and so inexpencice, could you use a lace curtin at the back of the dress as a Cape to hide the problems?
Nah, I was out lol - the hair did the job!
I highly enjoyed this video and it turned out beautifully 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it
This is so fantastic! I’ve been collecting things to make a thrifted Snow White and I just finished my thrifted pink Belle dress! Now for the not thrifted cloak
I’ve been watching you make that! It has been awesome watching it come together!
That is stunning! And I love that you did it for 13 dollars. I use sheets and thrift items to make clothes also. Mona from Saint Louis
That is so great! It definitely makes for some unique items!
Such a beautiful dress!
Thank you!
$13 dress 😱😱😱
Indeed :)
Do you do online classes or sell some kind of learning material? I really want to start making historical dresses, but it stresses me out if I don’t know most everything beforehand 😔
Unfortunately I don’t as I’m not sure how I would set that up! I think starting it better than perfect. Maybe start with a simple project like a regency dress.
Have you wanted my regency dress I made? It was a good project to start with
@@KirileeCosplay Maybe you could like sell zoom links on Etsy? Idk but yes I have watched the regency one! I thought about trying it and maybe adding some trimmings and decorations to make it my own☺️
Do it! Give it a go! It is a wonderful place to start!
I recently started buying sheet sets at thrift stores to use for Ren Fest garb. Last week i found a set of curtains that just shouted at me that they needed to be made into a ball gown. ...i have never made a ball gown, so we shall see how it goes 😅 where did you get your pattern may I ask?
Truly Victorian for the bodice :)
HOW COOL ARE YOU
Thank you!
Like and subscribe. Adorable work❤❤❤
Thank you!
Way to go...it looks fantastic. Wish I had that kind of talent
You are too kind! :)
I’m just on my way to the fabric store. Maybe I was wrong. Gotta search for a thrift store here in my town.
Look at both! You never know what you will find in a thrift store- it might be perfect or it might be a complete miss :)
Kirilee Cosplay I hade a time limit. Like 40 minutes to the next bus. I ran in the fabric store took the fabric and almost lost the bus. I think I’ll hale a look at the thrift store another day... 😉
Fair enough! Treasure awaits for next time
Kirilee Cosplay 😄😄
Is it your own pattern ?
The bodice pattern is by Truly Victorian - the skirt as I mention in the video is a simple circle skirt, and the puffs are half circles.
It's a sleeping beauty dress...because it's blue :P
You can say whichever princes you like but I did make this with cinderella in mind :)
@@KirileeCosplay Oh I am sorry I was joking, because Sleeping Beauty had that NO ITS PINK NO ITS BLUE fight.
bruh u had my at $13
A good deal
would love to have you as a neighbor 🌼🧡
Hahaha no you wouldn’t. The sound of a sewing machine going deep into the night, and Disney soundtracks on repeat loudly whilst I sew- it might be a bit too much :p
@@KirileeCosplay whistle while you work!🧡🌼
Im jelouse of how awesome you are
Don't be jealous :) It is a skill I developed over time - anyone can do it.
...wait is that QPAC?
Nope
