Painting a Dress that looks like Wallpaper (so I can become one with the wall)
Вставка

- I.... don't have anything to say about this other than: It was an idea that popped in my head the morning of filming and I ran with it like Forrest Gump ran away from his responsibilities.
Do you ever just want to slip away from small talk at a gathering and become interior design? Who hasn't! So I decided I wanted to make a dress that would allow me to do so.
It was way more difficult than I expected but eyyyy, that's what this channel revolves around right?
ANYWHOOOO, enjoy!!

Hi Rachel, me and my grandmother (89) used to watch your videos together, she was a seamstress and was a huge fan of your work. She passed away a few weeks ago, and I wanted to thank you for making my grandma so happy during her last months, I wish you all the best ❤
Sorry for your loss! ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that. RIP grandma
My condolences. GOD rest her soul. 🙏🏻
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you have the support you need right now ❤️
Ohhh, that just made me tear up 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad for you that you have such warm memories with her ❤
This has big Jenna marbles painting herself to blend into her chair energy
(Edit: to say I was shook when Rachel said the exact same thing would be an understatement!)
I came here to say exactly this!
With her own spin on ~32 year old lady~
We all miss her ❤😢
😁
deeply grateful to have Rachel carry on the torch of Jenna's chaos
😂This really happened to me. I found some gorgeous fabric and made a dress to go to my friend’s wedding - all was well until we got to the reception and found - you guessed it - that all the curtains in the room were … my dress fabric - and my space to sit was right in front of them - the photos are priceless 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I actually LOVE this!! thanks x
God thats hilarious! I would pay to see those pics lol
Oh dear!😂
😅😅😅
tbh the fit with the back brace is GORGEOUS, I didn't even realize it was a back brace
I was told it was a back brace and the whole time I was like WHAT AWESOME HIGH PANTS/AWESOME BELT
attach some buttons and leather accents, and it's a cute corset
It's giving Jared the goblin kin
IKR? I wanna know what brand she’s using!
Honestly it's reminding me of Briar Rose/Princess Aurora. Thought it was just a big belt/bodice situ and just went with it.
Jenna Marbles: chair
Micarah Tewers: drapes
Rachel Maksy: wallpaper
Friends, I am absolutely agog, waiting to see what Karolina does . . .
same
Carpet? 😂
Table cloth?
My brain immediately said subway station wall tiles. No, I don't know why. 😅
What is Karolina’s channel??
not me thinking that her back brace was a super cute thick belt and being like "I want One!
Omg same 😂 I was like "ooh big statement belts are back in"
I also thought it was a belt! 😂
Yup, here too
Yup. Not sure the belt is cute, but the way Rachel's blouse blossoms from the top of it certainly is.
Oh, no…I recognized it immediately, I was a CNA before I was an RN and I’m 71 now and wear one to clean. But on Rachel…chef’s kiss!
Most people can’t pull of a back brace. You turned it into a pirate barkeep. 10/10
I was getting Goblin King vibes especially with the wild hair!
"What if... I was the wall?" she asked herself, refusing to realize how hard a wall's life really is.
Things Rachel has done/said that now live in my head rent free:
1. "Gooooood ennnooooouuuggghhhh"
2. That sad duck sound she uses when things go wrong
3. "It's CURSED!"
With cursed sounding like "couised" 😂
I literally sing Goooood enough! So much now that my husband does it to make me laugh thinking he’s copying me. I told him I ripped it off Rachel
"Don't look at meeeee..."
It's my new motto!
Omg the good enough one, yes ! Everyday ! And no one gets where it's from 😅
The hair and fit are giving ✨Thumbelina✨ and I’m here for it
True!!!!
with some Stevie Nicks vibes mixed in! (imo)
That's 100% what it's giving
I love her hair!!!
That’s what it is!
That reveal scene was cinematic. The acting, the writing, the directing! 😂 so good I’m crying
so so good right?!!! was wondering how in the world she was able to spin around like that, too
1) A real well made corset is amazing for back support. 2) to continue your floor troll days well into your 30s, try to teach yourself to sit in a yoga position that is comfortable. You are stretching out your back whilst you are on the floor. The cat-cow stretch is a great one that reminds you to keep your back and arms steady. The pigeon pose is actually really fun, and allows you to have both hands to use. The frog pose is the most fun. 3) I now want to make a dress that looks like wallpaper. I propose we start a trend of posting pictures where we blend into our environments with our outfits. Great idea! You are the Bob Ross of UA-cam sewing! I would watch you paint happy little trees and turn specks into birds any day.
Great advice in this comment
Rachel, Jenna, Micarah, and my great grandmother what do these lovely ladies have in common? The innate inner need to turn themselves into decor pieces around their homes.
Shout out to your great grandmother🗣️
Love this! my first thought about this vid was "oh my gosh, it's like what Micarah did!"
YESSS MICARAH!
@@morgannrosee she had this arm chair that she loved the fabric it was made with. So she took it to a fabric store managed to track down the same fabric and turned it into a skirt. We still have the chair! Alas I’m not sure what happened to the skirt.
the makeup, the hairstyle, the comedy of the process.. *chef's kiss*
also, that dress is NOT ugly, Rachel! you made something so simple and silly really cute. this felt like a drag challenge.
And NOT useless. Just knowing this person exists gives me hope
Love the dress! Also it reminded me of Joseph Brodsky's poem:
Don’t leave the room! Let furniture keep you company,
vanish, merge with the wall, barricade your iris
from the chronos, the eros, the cosmos, the virus.
Holy shit this is on point
I love that quote! Perfect encapsulation of a socially anxious introvert.
Rachel: It’s been a long time since I made something brown.
Also Rachel: [Painted the entire Frozen Castle brown 3 videos ago.]
Dunno, 3 videos is a record, I think... 🤔
See, youre the only youtuber I actually enjoy seeing what you do with brown so much. You make it cute, with patterns or style. Youre not "sad beige baby" style with your browns. Theres a multitude of browns, and flowers, stripes, corsets, skirts, shirts, pants, dresses, gingerbread doll houses. Like you make up for not having a super wide variety of color, by having the variety be texture, details, and shape. All this to say, live your brown autumnal clothed dreams.
Seconding this. I do not like brown, I do not wear brown, in fact I just dyed a brown vintage dress black today!
But Rachel has a way with brown
It's brown maximalism! Rather than minimalism
@@theblackkat1688 warm full brown rather than empty sad brown. :)
the ultimate wallflower dress!!!!
Underrated comment!
Also literal 😁
Yes! 🌼
In regards to people quoting books, yes, they absolutely did that!
When Jenna left she took a part of my heart with her and the fact that you do the funny skits and references to her makes me so happy!! You'll forever be my comfort creator
For real
Between Christine McConnell and now Rachel, focusing on their wallpaper, I’ve begun looking at my walls holding a very small paintbrush…my husband has started staring at me, staring at the wall and I think he’s trying not to cry
Snort laugh
ah the pink panther of it all 😂
The moment I saw the title I was violently thrown back into the memories of that movie LMAO
Yes! 👆🏻
Clouseau would be proud
YES 😭😭
I bopped over here to say exactly this and I am delighted someone beat me to it
As a fellow floor gremlin with a bad back, I feel you. My brace is a blue that matches NONE of my clothes. 😩
The dress turned out super cute, and the ad for it had me cackling! 😂
my husband shouted “WORK AT A TABLE” right before you mentioned knowing everyone was yelling about that at home. amazing.
It is official. I now need a collab video with Micarah Tewers in her curtain dress and Rachel in her wallpaper dress making chaotic and fabulous outfits from random house hold items!
Omg they would be fantastic together! I would love a video like that.
Yes there was a Micarah moment when Rachel was narrating the wallpaper dress ad in the reveal!
The Perks of Being a Wall(paper)flower!
The “Yellow Wallpaper”-ification of Rachel Maksy 😂❤
Rachel, you are unnecessarily way too tough on yourself. You're so talented and make wonderful content no matter where you and Frodo's adventures lead you. The dress really is beautiful and it does look like an authentic late 60s early 70s pattern. I know I was there first hand. I'm going to sing your back brace song to my pain Dr.
I know you typically use vintage paper patterns, but seeing as you have an actual projector, using the projector for patterns is a GAME CHANGER! No more cutting paper pieces. Just project and cut and you’re done. So so easy!
Having just printed out a whole stupid pattern TWICE because it didn't print with borders and I legit could not see where to cut and was going crazy, then cutting the whole dumb thing out while remembering I was going to have to do it all AGAIN in a grownup size.... I'm now seriously considering if buying a used projector would be cheaper than the ink and aggravation 😅
@@moxiebombshell projectors are such a huge time saver if you’re using modern patterns. I will say, there are pros and cons to both sides. Once you have a pattern cut out, it’s there and you can grab and go. But I do a lot of sewing for my little one and obviously I have to adjust the pattern size frequently. On the other hand, I sew in my attic and if the internet decides to be fickle, sometimes I have problems connecting to the projector. But overall I like using it! Again saves on paper and ink!
This is so clever!
I am wholly and totally here for these “The Yellow Wallpaper” vibes. 🙌🏼
13:25 Rachel: "🎶This is gonna take a...." Me:🎶 "This is how we do it..."
Also: If you do not think that I am going to take this idea of throwing images onto my clothing and trace it out for embroidery, you are sadly mistaken. What a fantastic idea!!!
Rachel is a true...Maksymalist...😂😂
I need a tee shirt that says “Maksymalist!” @rachelmaksy I think we found a name for your fandom, and an excellent candidate for merch, should you ever wish to make it. Well done, @poppyblack3356
"Hello I'm in my 30's" had me wheezing. It was far too true and hilarious. I am feeling seen. Also I think the dress is actually really cute.
Honestly, I think it's cute. In my head, I see this worn at some 70s hip folk music tribute band concert. Pre painting, you looked like you jumped right out of any of the great 60s and 70s sci-fi shows in the US and Britain. It truly appeals to my inner geek.
Yes! That's why the unpainted dress seemed so familiar. Add long sleeves and make it red. It's almost Lt. Uhura's uniform from the OG Star Trek.
Next level of camouflage: Wednesday Addams spying on the new nanny😄 But seriously this was such a fun make! You matched the colors perfectly!
I still can never tell what is a wig, when she pulled off her ponytail my jaw literally dropped. Such sass!
This is silly in the best possible way. Incredible “because I wanted to” vibes. I wanna match my wallpaper now.
Makes me want to install wallpaper so I can blend into it 😂
I just love how you made the dress blend into the wall. Just awesome! But what I really loved is how you took that back brace and made it past of a chic throw together outfit, now that's awesome!!
Grandma's couch/drapes/area rug print is absolutely my favorite. This is incredible!!
I actually LOVE your opening outfit, back brace included! I was like "oooh, i love a super wide belt look." They should make back braces in cool styles, so they can be a fashion statement as well as support 🔥
I seriously thought "another awesome belt!" before she said it was a back brace!
WHY HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE?? It's so brilliant!
Corsets :) underbust or waspie would be a similar look. You dont have to cinch the waist. Just needs to be fitted!
The back brace business would sell a lot more back braces if they made them look and work like an actual belt. Yeah! 🖤
The Darcy outfit is a everything
(Re the back brace- I was admiring the way you put a waist cincher broad belt with your shirt and split skirts. Never woulda guessed! It is very much fashion style liked that. No shame in wearing health aids. But extra pride in making them fabulous!)
That reveal was the best EVER! I laughed so hard! You really could make really good comedy sketches.
The sheer confidence it takes to make this, to see a wall and say 'yeah I can paint that'- you never cease to amaze me
The Home Camouflage Trio: Jenna Chair, Micarah Curtains, and Rachel Wall!
I love how the dress turned out! So pretty! I love seeing fun experiments like this!
YOUR HAIR looks SO GOOD during the intro.
Pointless project?
This is what I am here for!! Hilarious 😂!
And let's be honest, we all admire Rachel's drawing and painting skills! 😮💕
"Part of the crew, part of the ship ", lol. 😉😂 Hoist the colors, captain Rachel. The Dutchman always needs a captain. 😂😁
"I'm in my 30's and my body is disintegrating" is such a mood. Also I felt that brain shutdown so hard. u-u
What a cool project! The dress turned out looking so cute! The illusion is really neat and the fact that it's all painted is super impressive! owo
The character development of Rachel moving on from her floor troll arc and towards having better posture is what I live for. xD
Your outfit at the beginning reminded me of Ariel's dress when she goes to see the town with Eric (OG animated version). I literally did not see it was a back brace. The outfit plus the red hair immediately connected to the Little Mermaid.
Also, great job and good for you doing projects that bring you joy!
This is so cool Rachel. It’s very you. I showed your reveal to hubby, who said, “do you know her?” And I said “no but she makes videos that make my brain happy”. 😃
Actually obsessed w your hair in this video, it looks so so good
My first thought was "Damn her hair is to die for today!" So gorgeous 😍
Absolutely true. This is a very good glam look for you , It is magic.
i'm loving the shift back to simple projects. Thanks for being you and letting us share is your silly cozy world!
I love the opening outfit. Really making the back brace work. Thick belt + loose top is a good look
Cutting on a table and sewing at the proper height?? Who is this woman?! 😘
This harkens to the "Jenna as a chair" era. Fan-tab-ulous idea! :)
I always love wallflower representation
It's AWESOME and the reveal is *chef's kiss*!!
Rachel is definitely "weird Barbie" (I mean this as a compliment 😅)
Or Chrissie, I still have my Velvet doll from the 70’s she is still the quite one 😂
Knowing the dress has to be “paintable” has me on the edge of my seat. 👀
we love it when you enjoy the project so much!
I love that wallpaper--and dress--as much as you do! I especially love those colors.
lil painting tip: if you want a muted green, add a tiny bit of magenta!
it brings it into a less saturated green without making it gray, if that makes sense ?
this can work with any color! just add a bit of whatever color is opposite it on the CMY color wheel
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you put out. If anyone has the winter blues like me, just remember there are only 286 days until Halloween 🎃🦇🧡
I love how you talk to the camera like we all have a window into your head and just speak whatever comes to mind. All the references and shenanigans make me giggle and so happy! I aspire to be more like you, maybe less floor troll, but we can both work on it. 😂
You singing “Murder on the Dance floor” brought back the repulsion and shocking nature that was Saltburn and then you cursed at it and it made me feel better.
The graveyard seen is burned in my memory and I hate that I can enjoy that song without thinking about it. I’ve never had such a visceral reaction when watching a movie.
Rachel, I hope you take the opportunity to invite people over so you can wear this dress and see if anybody notices.
The illusion really works! It almost looks like you're wearing green screen and just projecting the wallpaper into it in some shots.
Go Rachel! Great idea and you more than pulled it off! The dress is very beautiful too x
I love it when you bring various art mediums together. Sewing, drawing, painting. Oh what fun chaos can you create today! Thanks for sharing your inspiration :)
Only you can make a dress inspired by wallpaper and make it look absolutely beautiful!!! You did an amazing job.
Dear Ms. Maksy,
Once again, a lovely charming, only Rachel Maksy video. Thank you...
...About the aches and pains, and things in your body that seem to be crapping out entirely, when you hit your 30's (for me it was my late 20's because I'd overused some of my small person bits), I can offer you some hope. That all settles down again by the time you're in your 40's. Your body sort of adjusts to its new reality and chills again. There are parts of me that felt stronger than they ever had when I was in my 50's. I'm 61 and still feeling good. I dance, run when I feel like it, have no trouble bending - that sort of thing. So, try not to lament too much. Your body is not going to hell in a hand basket. It is only moving into a new phase - a different kind of growing phase.
You’ve offered me some hope also because everything seems to hurt these days 😭
Genuinely you should be so proud of yourself, absolutely brilliant outcome. Your attention to detail and skill with painting is amazing. I'm always in awe :)
Your hair is fantabulous in this. STUNNING!
The dress is the cutest! I like the style (I'm quite fond of 60's easy to sew fashion). and the painting make it look so unique. It's a real joy to me every time you show your painting talent. I'm happy for you and also a bit jealous becase I think "maaan, I wish I could do that".
LOL I love it! When you were describing the project I immediately went to the Robert Downey, Jr. Sherlock movie. At the end where he's hiding "in" the wall. This was fun, sweetie and very creative. Take care of that back. Got an early start on ruining mine lifting feed sacks and bails of hay. Not to mention 20 years later when I had a giant baby! LOL Be kind to yourself because I need my dose of Rachel zaniness as often as you can give it!
This is another one of your craziest projects and I ABSOLUTELY adore it!!! Congrats for your patience! You are the kind of person that never gives up and we love this attitude ;-)
This is so beautiful! Flattering style, lovely Lady!
blending in with the wall gives me big Somebody That I Used to Know music video vibes and I'm here for it. Can't wait!
I like the dress design, it reminded me of a dress I had when I was younger. I really LOVED your 60s style commercial, too and the 60/70's bubbly writing they used to use also!
Lovely! The dress turned out SO CUTE
Rachel you are so wonderfully creative and a great problem solver!
An incredible idea, and the dress is legit beautiful! Also very here for the new Maksy series (Makseries?): "turning myself into items of home decor".
I'm glad you're working in more ergonomic positions!
Love the idea, creativity, process, and the final dress! It's all perfect❤
Why is this actually beautiful, you look so good!!!
🌷You're a lovely wallflower!🌻
Did not have a Rachel Maksy doing Jenna Marbles impression on my 2024 bingo card BUT I WISH I HAD BC I NEEDED THIS
Best outro ever hands down. Love the dress!
LOVE THIS DRESS!!!! I've had at least three dresses in my lifetime I purchased because the prints were vintage wallpaper vibes. You must do the back! Oh, I simply love what you did here and I'm insanely envious of you artistic painting abilities. Bravo!
The snozberry wallpaper bit and the trololo guy on your dress had me busting up. I love your humor
it came out very pretty imo! even without the context of the dress being a wallpaper
I think this is one of my favourite things I've seen. The unbridled joy is infectious, and the finished product is bloody fabulous.
The dress is phenomenal
Only Rachel can wear a back brace and still look beautiful in it.
And stylish !
The fact that apparently I completely missed that there was even a back brace in this video says everything
definitely not *only* rachel, if you try and make it stylish it'll be stylish lol. but she does look really good in it ur right
I was thinking how much I liked her wide black belt, when she said she was wearing a back brace, lol
It is giving Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau and his urban camouflaged from the Pink Panther movie. I love it.
I wanted to comment the same! :DD that scene is gold
I am in love with this so much the whole outfit is such a VIBE!!!
This turned out super cute and is very flattering❤ Awesome job!!
Absolutely amazing you're incredible and just so much fun to watch. Just one little suggestion. I always use clear plastic plates when I need to match paints to a fabric or two tissue paper or napkins. Or what have you and it helps so much because you can just match it directly on top of whatever you're trying to match makes it so much easier. Hope that helps. You are just fabulous😊
You madam are a genius
