"But made halloween" Should be a series on here

sometimes i wonder if people realize that the reason that that tiktok strawberry dress is so expensive isn’t because the designers are greedy but because the dresses are like. completely handmade by lirika matoshi in kosovo. like i need people to understand this PLEASE

this whole video i was waiting for the " i freakin love bats" kid

"My boobs don't look like that" while laugh crying is the most relatable thing I've ever seen 💙

Bat dress: "I'm just gonna wing it"

You: Bats are too sparkly. Turn them inside out. My little goth heart: MOAR DISCO BATS.

the level of rewatchability on this video is insane

I love the way Editing Rachel looks like she's stuck up in the cold, miserable garret, poring over the reams of footage

You’ve missed the chance to call them “baterials”

I’m very disappointed there was no “batwinging it” pun when talking about the bodice.

Rachel: holds the poison apple cup with pumpkin coffee Me: watching this while holding the same cup full of hot chocolate "... excellent"

Just coming here to tell you I saw someone wearing a recreation of this dress in the wild this year. You're a legend.

“There’s something that orange and black does to me... on a spiritual level” My dad would agree. He has collected about 200 children’s Halloween books and reads all of them every year.

"I'm going to make....a mock-up." WHO ARE YOU?? Lol

I love the apparently universal reality that sewing machines are sentient, severely bipolar beings here to mess with us. Machines feeling good today? Wonderful! Machine is in a "mood" "oh you're eating all of my fabric? Sure. Nothing I can do about it"🤣🤣

"We're about diving into projects and thinking about it later." I have NEVER related so hard to a statement. Every single sewing project I've ever done comes with a halfway point where I realize I should have put way more thought into it. 😬

This is so unexpected and exactly what I want

Imagine an acorn dress! Green ground with sheer brown fabric with lots of acorns on it. Hell yeah.

Honestly, Rachel Maksy is so motivating to me - I don't have a lot of space in my house so I cut literally everything sitting on my office floor. I feel seen haha!

the little 'dis is wot i have' when she's showing the poofy sleeves is one of the most adorable things I have ever heard

“But make it Halloween!” Another series idea!

Look it look- it’s fricken bats. I *love* halloween.

That bottom skirt ruffle is crazy dedication!! Frodo's mlem interlude is the perfect example of all sweet doggos. The "no read scritches please" is exaclty the thing our pupper does too. The Benedict Cucumber moment was absolutely hilarious. That and the pool floaties are possibly the fav comedic part of the video. I may no be crazy about Halloween (which I say on the internet a the risk of being moidered) but this is so cute and I think you really did nail the look of the strawberry dress. Annnnd your hair done up curly and short is so adorable and you pull it off magnificently.

beautiful! These made me realize I never want to make a dress, I can see why the designer charges what she does

yes, people, Halloween season starts in September or it's all year round. And love the dress!! It's the bat dress!

Therapist: “So what cured your depression?” Me: “Halloween strawberry dress.” Also the excessive use of the “Crispin Glover laughing” meme gives me life.

I saw someone on tiktok design a 'blueberry dress' to fit their aesthetic which prompted me to draw my own design! I called it the citrus dress and it carried the same silhouette as the original but was yellow and covered with little orange, lemon and lime slices 😍

With the time you have spent ruffling and gathering, you might consider adding a ruffler foot to your sewing tool arsenal. The dress is adorable.

"I'm assuming some people just go braless with this..." *laughs in DD*

“There’s just something that orange and black does to me on a spiritual level..” SAME.

arsenic and old lace is definitely my favorite halloween movie! the perfect mix of vintage and spoopy!

Love the result! I would've left the orange part off the sleeves entirely when there wasn't enough fabric, but I've lived through a couple iterations of translucent sleeve fashion, so what was obvious to me may not have been something that occurred to you.

"I will start with a mockup" words never expected to be heard on this channel p.s. Batman and Robin: But Make It Vinatge

Kind of disappointed that you didn’t change „several bad puns later“ into „several bat puns later“ 🦇

Corpse Bride, yes! I'd like to see you recreate Emily's wedding dress.

I would wear a dress like that any time of year, not just on Halloween.

the second it hits September, Rachel really says “Ah yes, Halloween is now”

ok but imagine the possibilities! A sun dress, a snowflake dress, a star dress, a Christmas tree dress! pls do a christmas one!

Would you make a moth man costume? Must be sexy and have wings. I was thinking cocktail dress style.

“ LOOK IT, look it, it’s freaking bats, I love Halloween “

Can you make Sophie’s Dress from Howl’s Moving Castle sometime?

Okay, random thought: sailor moon, but make it vintage! Rachel! Dooooo it!

Can we just appreciate how much darn work Rachael puts into her videos for us..

This video gives me such a serotonin boost every time I watch it

You should “but make it vintage”, the Sanderson sisters.

Me: oh that would probably work great with a pumpkin-y coloured soft chiffo- Rachel: *gets the shiniest, slipperiest polyester organza known to man* Oh boy here comes trouble. There's a reason even seasoned dressmakers despise that stuff.

Finally someone who understands that Halloween starts in early september Also I was sewing the ruffle on my own dress and I literally gave up a week ago

I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS VIDEO

Now I have to be sad that I can’t have the strawberry dress OR the bat dress 😭

Okay but we need a *goblincore one with sparkly mushrooms and like a little frog 🥺

Omg, this is fantastic! And I just love the way you make everything work in the reveal: the hair with the bats, the make up, the music and all the effort you put in your projects... you’re such an inspiration

Your videos are so fabulous. I adore the retro music while we watch you sew; very nostalgic. Thank you

Me reading the title: I don’t think anyone will ever really understand me as much as Rachel does

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like "YAASSSSS! Rachel Maksy is queen!"

7:36 I love this song

Practical Magic!!!! That's the best.

THE STRAWBERRY DRESS COMES IN BLACK!!! I could not believe that people were freaking out over the pink when IT COMES IN BLACK!!!!!

The sleeves probably didn't need to lined with orange. So feel free to remove the felt during revision.

As a gay, this makes my heart explode. Main. character. energy.

This is my first time ever commenting. I've been watching you for a few years when I stumbled across your channel looking for vintage look ideas. I've been hooked ever since. I love your sense of humor and every one of your videos makes me laugh. I adore Halloween as well and particularly like late 80's and early 90's movies and these are my absolute favorites. The Lady in White (This movie is still sooo good!) Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (Love her sense of humor and the satire), Practical Magic) (Probably my favorite movie), The Witches(Underated in my opinion), High Spirits (Funny and silly, totally worth watching). Your videos make my day, I'm a big fan!

Rachel: *puts a stuffed bra on her dress form so it matches her bust measurement* My mind: *blown*

this dress is everything and such a mood but the moment i realized the orange fabric was organza even i started to get itchy you poor thing!!!

I always watch this video if it randomly pops up, but during halloween I watch it several times. It's such an amazing take on the strawberry dress and it makes my little goth heart happy! 😍🖤🖤🖤

Wait that turned out INCREDIBLE

Really glad you referenced “it’s frickin bats” in the bloopers. Had to be done

I'd love to see her make a Mabel sweater, or even one of the dresses the girls wore to the Northwest party! Or how about a Make it Vintage for either Morticia Addams or Lilly Munster?

I love at the beginning at. 0:17 She says. “ it’s spooky time b!ch”

I would without any hesitation buy that dress. It is so gorgeous and gothic and it’s perfection *chef kiss*

Me: oh wow a late upload. Wonder why? Rachel: I'm giving myself three days! Oh noooooo

Bertram will be most thrilled, Rachel is going goth!

I LOVE THAT HALLOWEEN dress maybe I going to making for my first HALLOWEEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY PARTY IDEAS!!!.

I love the dress. Soooo pretty and Halloweeny!

“Oh my god we’re bats again” - The Batstreet Boys

"Did I have to share that bit?, probably not but I dont wanna lie to you." Mad respect 😂

That dress is adorable. I like it better than the strawberry dress.

That dress is gorgeous!!

God bless Editor Rachel, by her hand we are granted enlightenment (and that primo sass).

"For this top, I will start with a mockup material." I'm glad I was seated. xD

I’m ready for this to be done again

I learnt in school to make ruffles this way Get some string (i prefer dental floss) and just zig zag over the top on the longest widest setting possible. Dont catch the string/floss with your stitch! Then just pull the material alonf the floss and you have a ruffle to stitch down. You can remove the floss and zig zag afterwards

Lovely take on the dress! 😍 When it comes to the 'slippery' fabrics (fabrics spawned from Satan) I personally use tissue paper underneath when sewing on a machine. It glides the fabric smoother and easily rips away without tainting the threads. As a fellow, spooky gal I can't wait to bring the orange colours out this fall! 🦇🍁

Alternate title: Rachel actually makes a mock-up 🤯 I'm so glad to see a hot take on this dress that doesn't look like a Strawberry Shortcake cosplay. I love 🧡 what you've done with this idea! Can you do a winter version that's the strawberry dress...but snowflakes; your felt lining techniques will come in handy for the New England winter ❄️

Ok, best part of your vids are the interactions with your pupper. I have sewn for a lifetime with dogs and I seriously love the little furry helpers.

That's so pretty 💖🌸🐿🎃🦇

INCREDIBLE but imagine purple instead of orange

anybody else think that the strawberry dress is, like, a modern version of Liesl's dress in the 16 Going on 17 scene in The Sound of Music?

Forget CoCo, watch The book of life. Is my favourite. Overall has happy feeling, it's all about the day of the dead. The characters design are so interesting. Lovely dress💕💕💕

This looks so cute and I love it! So much respect to how much work you poured into this.

"I just want to be a spooky queen." That's it. That's the whole entire frikkin mood. Done.

Rachel: cuts and pins fabric completely unobstructed Me: WHERE'S FRODO????

I love seeing so many people do different takes on this dress!

love the energy of your videos, and the dress is amazing.

I feel like September, October, and November Rachel is a whole other version of Rachel, and we love to see it :)

I see the process of sewing is the same when there is a dog in the house haha. My doggie also loves to sit on fabric

Absolutely stunning dress! I gasped with delight when I saw the reveal. I would definitely recommend a lining, though. I don't even want to imagine how itchy the tulle is 😱

Omg it looks so beautiful 😍

"Batman Burlesque" needs to be a real thing

Me: 2020 is awful, I’m so exhausted I can’t feel joy Me when I saw this dress: Is this.. SEROTONIN?

The prettiest thing you ever made!! 😍

Gorgeous. I'm so impressed with all the details that you included.
