I'm on a page with Mothers asking what to do with their kids' graduation gowns (we don't have these in Australia). I'm definitely going to recommend your beautiful idea. Imagine wearing the dress to your next Reunion?
Not gonna lie, clicked not because of the dress but for the neckline. I'm gonna try it for my wedding gown and needed help. Also I'm obsessed with your Deku shirt. Thanks for the video!
Wow this looks sooo awesome. I have my royal blue graduation gown sitting in my closet. I wish I could transform it Like this. But now I have the idea and I might give it to a relative to turn into a dress for me
i didn't know you have to buy your own toga/graduation gown! my exp is my school let's you rent one (a week before graduation, a tailor comes to our class and measures us for the appropriate toga gown) and then you receive that toga on the last day of the final exam and a few days before graduation ceremony! and then you return it during class card destribution. this was a pretty cool tho!
My mom is 83 y o and a professional seamstress. She has been sewing for 60 years. She has made formal quinceañera dresses, curtains, bedding, you name it . When I showed mom this video, she was blown away!!! Mom is super impressed with your God given talent for sewing!! Many blessings!!
To play the part of the Wicked Witch of the West, I used my black gown from my 3rd graduation. That gown was made of better fabric than the other two. Your cute little dress looks beautiful on you. You will get more use from that gown as a little black dress. Wonderful idea. Please stay safe.
@@sherryhannah498 I'm sorry; but, I don't know what you are annoyed about? My graduation black gown is still whole. I used it one time in a play. I don't see how that was annoying to you. I never thought of using all that fabric to make a new dress until I viewed this video. The fabric is now over 40 years old.
Sewphie Plush is so cute! I would get one if they were were a tad more affordable. Here in the Midwest, I owuld not hesate if she were $19.99 but $25.99 is a bit to steep for me. She is so cute.
I've been wondering what I should do with mine, but it's really cheap 😅 I don't think it would look very good as a dress but this is a great idea for those who can!
Super cute!!! I just found my gown in a box the other day. It’s an ugly maroon color though 🙊 I was gonna donate it back to the school but now I kinda wanna turn into a dress (that I’ll probably never wear lol)
I bought a Sewphie and I lovveee ittt! Can’t to get it in the mail. 😊 you are the reason I bought a sewing machine. Now I just need to learn how to use it 😅
Holy smokes what a brilliant idea to upcycle that graduation gown! I don’t think ANYONE would be able to tell that the finished result came from a graduation gown.
Years ago, I asked my husband if he minded me cutting up my wedding dress and making a new dress from it! He was fine with it, so I bought some silk friendly dye and completely dismantled the dress and made a new one. The skirt was so poofy that I made a whole new dress just from that! I still have the bodice somewhere - probably in a bag in the attic. I haven't done anything with it! Edit: forgot to say - love your new dress! Waste not want not!
Might do this with my gown. It will also give me a dress I didn’t have before. I’m not huge on sewing, but your videos have made me question that. I do needle point and it seems that they are a little similar in some ways like the patterns and such, but I think I’d like to try it out after watching your videos. Now I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but if you do, do you happen to have a video on sewing stitches or could you make one. It would be cool to learn the different stitching and then watch your videos and be like “oh I know that one!” Anyway, I’ll hopefully learn that and how to use a sewing machine soon. I learned how to use one back in middle school, but I wasn’t taught too much. Hopefully it goes well though

Awe you make incredible fashions can’t wait to see more videos I’ve been watching your videos for the last three days straight... ❤
Not gonna lie, clicked not because of the dress but for the neckline. I'm gonna try it for my wedding gown and needed help. Also I'm obsessed with your Deku shirt. Thanks for the video!
I’ve never been a fan of drop-waist designs, but you are making me question that! This looks stunning on you!
Cool idea! There are lots of these graduation gowns floating around, and they're basically one use. You always have the best ideas! 🥰
Only you could think of styling a graduation gown into a lovely dress, April! The result is gorgeous - you are so talented!!
I've never heard of adding tulle to keep the plunging neckline together! That's amazing
It's done pretty often on those big prom dresses with a corset top and a deeper neckline, my classmate had one like that
Wow this looks sooo awesome. I have my royal blue graduation gown sitting in my closet. I wish I could transform it Like this. But now I have the idea and I might give it to a relative to turn into a dress for me
DUDE!!!! your t-shirt is MY HERO ACADEMIA!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this idea! My gown is still in my mom's closet I'll have to get it from her and do something with it. 🥰
Yes!! Hopefully you find it haha

Loving the simplicity but elegance of this dress
Pls pls make a video on kinds of fabric and which fabric is best suited for what type of styles. U inspire me a lot. ❤️
Beautiful and magical
That dress is amazing
Cool idea!!!!!!!!! 🥰상상력이 풍부 하셔서 멋진 드레스가 되었네요!~!! 박수~ 🤗💕
This turned out beautifully. The only suggestion is, perhaps add some gold trim at the bottom and the sweatheart line for more accent.
Your videos and thought process blows my mind. I really enjoy your show. Keep up the good work.
I never had a chance to wear my graduation gown (covid) So this will be PERFECT!
Thank you 🥰
Sewphie is sooo cute!
I have never needed a plushie more in my life. I hope you make more maybe in different colors!
Gorgeous
I wish April post these transformations more often. Always so interesting to watch her creativity at work.
A dress that will keep the memories in tact! Love this dress so much! It’s a great way to keep holding on to the memories of graduation!
Definitely graduated. Always like the reuse of textiles in your videos
That is sooo cute!
Love the dress 😻
The deku shirt ❤️❤️❤️

Arvetta DeLashmit please is not necessary it’s very annoying

It's a graduation glow-up!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I am now your biggest Fan!! What a great job!
so cute

I think you should make more of these! Like, maybe a coat for an interview!
Cool idea I have three gowns plus my sons to use.
Awww plush sewing machine doll
This is why we rent them
That's awesome!! And you're wearing a deku shirt!!! I LOVE hero
ummmmm my name is sophie and i'm plushie obsessed so...might have to get this 🥺
Yessss!!! 😍
Amazing!
What an amazing, creative idea…beautiful. You are very talented!
I'm always blown away by how you transform these clothes! Well done!!
A stunning dress. And what a lovely idea.
Wow!!! 😮 I love how you made that dress 👗.
Unique ❤️❤️
wow 😍 that's cool maybe i will make it in my own ❤️ thank you for your ideas ❤️
I've been wondering what I should do with mine, but it's really cheap 😅 I don't think it would look very good as a dress but this is a great idea for those who can!
Use it to make it as a mock-up? So you can make a proper one from nicer material without having to fix corrections?
It can be your lining material as most lining is made from polyester which is what the gowns are made of. Nobody will see your lining so it's fine.
Coolirpa is back!! But foreal great idea to turn the useless graduation gown into a dress
I would have liked a circular skirt 😁
Super cute!!! I just found my gown in a box the other day. It’s an ugly maroon color though 🙊 I was gonna donate it back to the school but now I kinda wanna turn into a dress (that I’ll probably never wear lol)
fantastic
Great idea! Way to upcycle a truly random garment! But one most have laying around.
That was just so creative and this dress transformation turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing!

That is absolutely amazing.

Wowww girl this is so pretty 😍
Holy smokes what a brilliant idea to upcycle that graduation gown! I don’t think ANYONE would be able to tell that the finished result came from a graduation gown.
We rent our gowns in the U.K. rather than keep them! But cool idea for something that would otherwise go to waste
This is so good.

This is def. A fun idea. 😁
Oh wow.. I love it .. you inspiring me to work harder in my sewing channel ❤ thank you
Love it
This would’ve been cute if I didn’t toss my high school grad gown this year since it had just been collecting dust for 11 years.
I just got a pretty busted graduation gown my school was going to throw out! Super inspiring!
Amazing transformation April.
Love this!!!
