Hey guys and welcome to another episode of thrift flippin'

I don't know why I did those hand movements. Okay, um

I love Reformation just as much as the next social media hoe

I'll just let you soak in the beauty that is these pieces of clothing for a second

And then remind you that they cost like a hundred and seventy eight fucking dollars

So, today I'm gonna be trying to make some Reformation inspired designs from things that I found from the thrift store

I finally got one thanks to a lovely, lovely subscriber

I've had this for around like two months and I have

Okay, so the first piece that we're transforming,

which is a chain of thrift stores in LA for 8 dollars

is that it already has kind of all the makings of a reformation dress.

It has these tortoise shell buttons that are super trendy,

I also love the big ass pockets on this thing

However, in its current state, it's a bit

So instead I thought I would turn this into a two piece set

Honestly, this is one of the more complicated thrift flips that I've done,

and it's been about a year since I've used the sewing machine

I promise you I'm not being dramatic. I'm just....

So, let's get to the voiceover and I'll walk you through...

whatever the hell I end up doing with this

and because I'm a real adult now who actually hems her edges

it was time to call in our good friend, the sewing machine

Okay, this is not how my grandma's sewing machine worked

You know you have an old person hobby when the instructions are written

This is like 34 point font for all those grandmas out there

Good thing my eyes are so young and healthy still

Suppose, let's just get her fired up and sewing

I will say that sewing machine took a little bit of getting used to

but I'll show you guys what the top looks like right now

but I couldn't just sew directly down the sides of the skirt

because that would cut off those pockets, which I wanted to keep.

So instead I cut out a panel from the back

so the total waist of my dress would be around 27 inches

Basically, my problem is that I forgot that my body isn't

Sorry, it's kind of new to me. I just went through puberty about five years ago

Your girl forgot to put in some room for the booty

So luckily I still have some of the fabric left over that I cut off from the skirt

so out of that I'm gonna cut a new triangle insert that'll hopefully

Fill in that nice big old crotch if you have also this could be a really useful way if you have a skirt

That's too small for you that you can expand it a little bit. I don't know why you'd have the exact same

Fabric as the fabric your skirt is made out of lying around your house

But that is for you to figure out I'm really just trying to rationalize my failure. Okay, let's fix this skirt

So to fix this I'm using my handy. Dandy seam ripper

Which I finally bothered to buy for like four dollars from Joanne's

Your girl's really moving up in the world
