  • In this episode I found a beautiful printed dress that I wanted to transform into a swimsuit. The dress cost me $9 from Savers thrift store and took me 1 whole day to make. Additional material spent was on 1/4 inch elastic and black swim fabric for the straps.

    I enjoy when your sister is your model because she's a similar body type to me and it makes me believe in can totally pull off such cute looks

    i love the way she gives these videos as a tutorial , like any of use could actually match up to her awesomeness when in reality i'm just eating pizza and admiring the transformations

    Lines, seams, zig zag stitch, its like another language to me. I have no idea what youre talking about but this AMAAZING. Lol. I love watching your transformation videos. This is just as cute as the other one.

    Your sister is totally gorgeous, in general, but in this video she looks like she's really feeling herself in that gorgeous swimsuit! Confidence is the best accessory, and she definitely has it here.

  • @kathysammartano4432
    @kathysammartano4432 Před 7 lety +16

    I really admire your eye. In my opinion that dress was rather unflattering on your sister, and you made it into a suit that really emphasizes her best features. Impressive!

    This looks so amazing and better than most swimming suits in the shops at the moment

    @slicenrice Před 7 lety +10

    I love how you say you immediately thought of a swimsuit when you saw the dress. That's exactly the way I feel when I hear a song or think of a video idea, an immediate edit of the video comes to my mind. Love the final transformation:) -Glory

  • @truem.5380
    @truem.5380 Před 7 lety +19

    I love the swimsuit print and all but I wish it was a two piece with the high waisted bottom and cute ruffle top only. Somehow I'm not digging the hole in the stomach area. BUT that's just my personal preference though! Still a super adorable personalized swimsuit for your sister made with love from you!!! ❤️

I did one but I would love to see how you do one. thumbs up as always. Your sister is cute and you both have that sweet little smile. Tell her she was a very good model

    You should do a series where you buy clothing from eBay or wish and then transform it into something trendy and wearable!

      Jaidan Hall aren't clothes from already supposed to be trendy?

    • @Suisei_70i
      @Suisei_70i Před 7 lety +30

      the problem though, is that you don't know exactly the type of materials you will get until it comes, and the quality of the material can be quite bad as oppose to buying and choosing good material from thrift store with little wear.

  • @Tina06019
    @Tina06019 Před 7 lety +1

    Great work, April! I think it might have looked better without the ruffle on the top edge, but maybe not (it's probably just a matter of taste). I was so pleased to seeyou make a cute, attractive, and modest swimsuit. In my case, I would definitely need to sew in at least a "shelf bra" in order to make a wearable swimsuit. My legs are proportionally very long (I am 5'8" tall, but with a 33" inseam), so that I would definitely cut those leg/butt holes lower, more like a "boy short" look, so as to "balance" my figure visually, but this suit looks great on your sister just the way you styled it.

  • @josephinejacobs2159
    @josephinejacobs2159 Před 7 lety +126

    Totally cute!!!
    Question though...
    How does the fabric hold up in the water since it isn't actually swimsuit material?

    • @JustNatax3
      @JustNatax3 Před 7 lety +5

      Josephine Jacobs I want to know too!

    • @Adrsdzws
      @Adrsdzws Před 7 lety +17

      Josephine Jacobs it probably holds up fine. Might fade from chlorine/salt water but it's thick and stretchy fabric similar to swimsuits I guess.

    • @emmaf.7023
      @emmaf.7023 Před 7 lety +21

      Josephine Jacobs I'm assuming it's some type of polyester/blend. Should be fine in water, even slightly waterproof. Fast drying.

    • @Jessa8891
      @Jessa8891 Před 7 lety +18

      It looks like a thinner neoprene material so I'm sure just fine.

    • @KikkaHeilig
      @KikkaHeilig Před 7 lety +7

      Jessaleigh is right.. it looks like neoprene, which is the fabric used for surf or diving suits, so the water isn't gonna cause any problem
