    Honestly I think those prices are too high for thrift stores.

      Yes!! when i go to goodwill pay 4.99 for Jens is too much! lol

      Thrift store near me sells a $70 dollar dress but it's beautiful old stuff like 70' and older.

    • @piguu7226
      @piguu7226 Před 7 lety +27

      Are you sure that's a thrift shop? -_-

      @marietreec Před 7 lety +5

      Jiminniepabo yeah.

  • @kimberlyannnn
    @kimberlyannnn Před 8 lety +674

    $25 for a dress?! That is an expensive thrift store! I wouldn't have even bothered!

    • @alextorres990
      @alextorres990 Před 8 lety +102

      it might have been one those "high end thrift stores" they only except items from name brands or designers. I have one of those in my city and it's a great way to get really expensive clothes for walmart prices. I was able to get my grandma a $2000 Gucci bag for only $109 dollars.

    • @kimberlyannnn
      @kimberlyannnn Před 8 lety +14

      that's crazy! I don't think we have one of those anywhere near where I live :/

    • @franceess
      @franceess Před 7 lety +30

      It's really good for $25. Maybe it's really good quality.

    @lomolvr Před 8 lety +120

    That first dress was sooooo cute. Very Roaring 20s. The second one was cute too. I have to shorten straps pretty often too.

  • @heyitsheidijay
    @heyitsheidijay Před 8 lety +557

    Would you be able to do a video on resizing jeans, in the waist and legs? I can never find any videos that cover both at the same time, I'm so short and a lot of my cheaper jeans stretch to a size too big and I've resorted to fixing it myself!

  • @samanthadelgado8471
    @samanthadelgado8471 Před 7 lety +250

    the overall dress would look really good if you crisscrossed the straps in the back!

    • @samsafe7322
      @samsafe7322 Před 7 lety +41

      Samantha Delgado and turned the skirt into shorts !

    • @kenedeighbara2188
      @kenedeighbara2188 Před 7 lety +39

      Samantha Delgado I also think altering the bust area would have flattered her a little more

  • @XxSharmsxX
    @XxSharmsxX Před 8 lety +14

    That white dress is beautiful!!! What a steal!!

  • @WinterDash99
    @WinterDash99 Před 8 lety +34

    Levis jeans for $4!! what a steal! I've never altered my clothes before but I might in the near future so thanks for showing me how :)

  • @bandicootcollector
    @bandicootcollector Před 8 lety +35

    Thrift stores are more expensive than I thought.
    In England we have charity shops, most dresses are £1-5

    • @starhill6792
      @starhill6792 Před 7 lety +15

      captain0ldy0da Some are different. I got a really cute skirt for $0.95 today as well as a dress for $1.95! Depends on where you go. Some are more expensive. Also, a big thing to consider is whether it is for profit or nonprofit. :)

    • @marise-cellardoor2031
      @marise-cellardoor2031 Před 5 lety +1

      Maybe up north - that's how cheap it was when I lived in Leeds, but you'd be unlikely to find that in cities down south. You'll be spending £8-£25 on dresses depending how used, and designer.

  • @Angela-Ruby
    @Angela-Ruby Před 8 lety

    It's very refreshing to see someone who can sew simple alterations and also enjoys sewing. It's a lost art if not taught at home because many high schools or jr high school no longer teach sewing as part of home economics. Good job. I love my sewing machine.

  • @nanashirose
    @nanashirose Před 5 lety

    I absolutely love these quick fix vids because, not only do I see what to do with little problems, but, they also give me ideas to how to make something look better when I like it but not quite.

  • @douglasvilledarling2935
    @douglasvilledarling2935 Před 8 lety +49

    Wow, you got some GREAT deals! That first dress is beautiful and Ann Taylor had a skirt almost exactly like that one month ago for $130

  • @LindsayIvan

    I love the pleated skirt and those golden shoes are fabulous!

  • @smallfootprint2961
    @smallfootprint2961 Před 6 lety

    Very cool fixes. I like that you don't necessarily take every piece apart and completely rebuild it. You have such a good eye to tell exactly what needs to be done. That first dress is adorable.

  • @starbentt
    @starbentt Před 8 lety

    Would definitely want to see more of these videos. FYI I love fashion and sewing and I remember coming across your page one day and saying she's literally the best. That exact day I binged watched all of your videos and show them to my family too!!!!!!

  • @shonnyhunt9121
    @shonnyhunt9121 Před 8 lety

    I can't get enough of your video's. Love the fact that all my clothes I had ready to get rid of have so much potential. Thanks for your awesome tips.

  • @reply514
    @reply514 Před 7 lety

    I've recently gotten into thrift shopping and realized that it is way more fun. I'm gonna save up and by myself a sewing machine and learn how to sew and fix clothes to fit me better like u do. u got me so inspired!!

    Goddess herself, your style is SO cute!!! Being very tall and curvy, I really can't find too much that interests me at thrift stores. I do love the big comfy flannels and sweaters I can find in the men's section tho

    that first dress you thrifted was adoooorable!! nice find!

  • @MyBeautyCorner
    @MyBeautyCorner Před 8 lety +178

    Omg! those clothes are expensive for being from the thrift store, where I live the highest price on most of the thrift stores is $2 dlls, and the price goes downs depending on the day you go.

    • @lindabrown7374
      @lindabrown7374 Před 8 lety +9

      +MtzFamilyVlogs I agree on the high prices April paid. I would never pay that much at a resale shop.

    • @misssuperhiphop123
      @misssuperhiphop123 Před 8 lety +2

      In England they're called charity shops and I bet you would have got the dresses for probably £4/5 each

    • @douglasvilledarling2935
      @douglasvilledarling2935 Před 8 lety +1

      I thought the prices were GREAT! I could see the first dress and the last dress retailing for over $100
