One Day Make: Autumn Leaves Dress!

Have you ever thought to yourself: Gee, I wish I could wear a shirt that makes me look like an actual tree? Well, SAME. So I went ahead and did it because I am of the belief that my final form is an actual leaf (be-leaf??? no nevermind).
ANYWHO I wanted to do one last Ode to Autumn since it's my favorite time of year. Signing off this Halloween season with a crunchy spicy dress. I had the idea that making a skirt out of fabric leaves would be really fun and so why not a whole dress?? Took some fabric out of my stash, and abandoned foam armor build that was gathering dust, and some gumption and HERE WE ARE.
I hope you enjoy and all have a safe and happy Halloween!!! I LOVE YOUUU.

A version of this dress for the other three seasons would be neat as heck.

Cheating? Uh, no, that's called recycling. The fact that you had part of this idea already buried away somewhere just means you gave it new life. This was absolutely awesome! Well done! 👏🥰

Totally here for Rachel, week by week, making ALL of the costumes for a LOTR-themed production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

The bodice! It’s perfection! Your self-roast of your book bodice made me cackle, but it’s just proof that you are like a Sim levelling up your crafting skill.

Okay so obviously the whole thing looks so good and so cool, BUT can we just take a moment to look at this incredible bodice!?! The shape 😗🤌 The fit 😗🤌 The coloring 😗🤌 Simply magnificent!

I was just walking down the street today and ran into Rachel and Tommy! I totally geeked out and embarrassed myself, but it was worth it.

She was SO nice to this random stranger stopping her on the sidewalk. I love her even more now!! Thank you Rachel

While my 8 year old and I were sewing her Goblin Costume I noticed that she was humming Rachel's sewing montage music without realizing it. Obviously that's the soundtrack to sewing... and the most adorable chaos...

rachel, our queen, laying down that sweet sweet wisdom: nature isnt perfect
also rachel: *speed shot replicating a tree precisely with foam and a dremel*

I feel like ”prime it, paint it, ad a zipper” is the boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew of this channel and I am here for it 🙌

Every time I think Rachel has achieved her true form, she hits us with an even *Truer* form.

Okay but now I need to see you make all the seasonal fairy outfits and then some elemental ones too. Ya know, for science or whatever.

Also, those foggy autumnal shots made my heart so freaking happy. I live in the desert and miss my hometown mountains and leaves so stinkin much.

"New york fashion week, except you are a bog witch." I NEED this on a t-shirt

[marissabulso]

It turned out so well!!! The bodice! The paint job! The neckline! The way the belt lays! The skirt! The SLEEVES! And, honestly, what a wholesome video from start to finish.

Take those two weeks, girl. 🎉🎉

The foggy autumn content straight up looks like a Bob Ross painting <3 Rachel could you please do another painting video but during autumn? (if its not too cold for you of course!!!)

[thesavingsorceress]

The singing yeet while throwing the bodice into the hole was simply perfection! I love the final leaf dress, especially the s-leaves 🍁

[Spaceout]

that little button in the front of the skirt just makes the whole outfit. that incredibly specific "I made this myself from bark and leaves and odds and ends" scrappy fairy vibe. it's like the pixie hollow games come to life

[megaera]

This is so flippin cute, the desire to make my own leaf skirt is STRONG

[SMGund]

Rachel singing will forever be a mood.

(But to be serious, those nature-shots are sensational. Could literally been used on "Our Planet")

[TeenDream]

1:55 the scene with the lake and the swans and ducks. I WOULD BUY A PRINT OF THAT IN A HEARTBEAT, it *screams* perfection. so glad you were able to witness that in person. I think I went and stared at it for a solid ten minutes before moving on to your gorgeous dress. the bodice is lovely, you can see how far you've come since starting these videos and how much you've learned! would love to see you construct a whole 'Vivaldi' collection someday!

[vexsol]

Could you turn this into a series? Like a dress for winter, summer and spring? Love this dress, amazing job!
