From pranking Mama Maples with clothes that had no lining or seams to LITERALLY MAKING ONE OF YOUR WEDDING DRESSES?!?! Mia!! The lining. The trim. The boning. The sleeves. The layers. The lace-up back. I am HERE FOR THIS journey/content! But… literally, how can you top your actual wedding dance dress? Where does one go from here?! Except… to prank Mama Maples again?? ;) seriously, WOW!
I'm sooo happy you went with Teuta Matoshi for your wedding dress! She seemed like the perfect designer to get everything you wnated for your dreamy fairy theme, I'm sure the dress will be absolutely gorgeous. Your first dance dress turned out absolutely adorable! It's seriously so cute!
I’m honestly so happy about how much she’s making herself given that I’m sure she has the financial means to buy things already made or made to order. Not only will her wedding look amazing but it will also be even more meaningful to see her hard work come together
As a professional seamstress I am soooo happy to see Mia pressing her garments! This will take all of her makes to the next level. 👌 Beautiful dress! I feel so proud of her😅 also as a tip, if you get blood on your dress while sewing (it happens alot) your own spit removes your own blood. Just add a little to a q-tip and wipe it right off!
Thank you thank you thank you for the tip about spit removing blood! I'm planning on making my wedding dress, and I had NO IDEA about this tip! Positively thrilled, too! I'm in sales and met a "new to me" customer yesterday who offered me for free her adjustable dress form! Fiance and I are going to look at our calendars this weekend to figure out a good time to go pick it up!
Mia, I am your grandmother’s age. You are soooo funny. I was quirky and creative and wonderful like you when I was young but didn’t even know it and even more, was shamed for my creativity and independence. You literally are helping me love myself more and re-igniting a flame within. Crazy to say all that at my age but it’s true. Stay free. Stay true. Stay wonderful. You fill my heart with joy.
THIS DRESS IS GLORIOUS. Please wear it even when you wont be wearing it on your wedding. It took you so long and it's handmade by yourself and your style. You look so good in it :D
Girl this is absolutely stunning, you could easily be an Etsy store with your sewing, I know you’re gonna say you’re not good enough yet but I’m telling you all of us would buy stuff created by you 💕💕💕
Me and my husband were laying around. He was watching his show with headphones on and I was watching Mia. When it got to the reveal he stopped his video and said “Wow, Mia mad that?” It takes a lot to get a compliment out of him. Be proud Mia. Be very proud!
My boyfriend will say the same thing! About to show him and can’t wait for his reaction, he ends up laughing at the videos with me and I love it, probably his fave KZclipr I watch lol
mia’s sewing skills have literally gotten so much better! it’s crazy, but seriously the dress turned out so well and it is absolutely stunning! loving all the wedding content mia!!
for future reference: the grommet machine can be used easier by hitting the handle with a mallet :) i use them quite often at the shoe repair shop i work at and the mallet makes it so much easier!
Tips for grommets: With your chalk pencil, measure out the distance between the placement of each grommet, and mark a small dot. Once you've done that for every single grommet, take a small pair of sewing scissors and make a tiny cut right on top the dot. Then on the machine, line up your cut with the center of the press, and you'll notice you won't have to exert as much effort as you push down, because you've eased the amount of work the machine has to do to get through all those layers of fabric. Hope that helps for next time. :)
I love how humble you are. Even with your ability to financially buy a brand new dress or spend as much as you want, you chose to go your own route and save money where you can. Great job on your dress! Congrats on your wedding.
I learned how to sew in 7th grade, I just turned 70 this year and I can't tell you how much selling still brings me joy, you stick with it! Just think someday you'll be making babies clothes I've made christening gowns and Easter first outfits not just for my kids but for my grandchildren so much fun
It's kinda inspiring. Makes me want to try. I think it would probably hurt my back too much but maybe I'll try anyway. I could do a little at a time...
Hi Mia!! Just a tip for sewing the overlay on- you can take paper and pin it to the fabric, then sew. It makes it a lot easier and prevents the overlay from slipping all over the place :) I love your videos and have loved seeing you grow over these past few years!!!
Oh Mia, I LOVE it!! It's so you and it's even better now you made it yourself. :D And how exciting that your main wedding dress is by Teuta Matoshi. You'll look like a princess. Happy for you
You should feel SO proud of yourself, Mia! I also recently started sewing, and I'm nowhere near on this level. But seeing how far you've come so far is really inspiring me to stay with it! You're going to look so amazing on your wedding day!!
This may be an unpopular opinion but, I like seeing the mess in the background from time to time! It's just so endearingly authentic and that feeling of authenticity is a big part of why I have been with for years 🌱
MIA!!! OMG! From watching you prank your Mama Maples to this?! This is absolutely amazing! You did a fabulous job and it is absolutely stunning! You looks beautiful! So proud of you Mia, you’ve come so far!
mia. this is so ridiculously beautiful im gonna need you to take some of your sewing talent and teleport it over to me because if im even a fraction of this good and wonderful and creative i will call it a success
About the paper pattern, we’ve bought a few online and what we do is cut them out and then draw them on parchment paper and cut those out and use them instead since they’re not as fragile. Parchment paper can be folded and put away with out ripping easier I believe so that could be an idea…
Mia, sewing is becoming a lost art. As a grandma, I can tell you how proud I am of you. You have reached a point that every sewer has reached and you never gave up.
Thoughts before watching this video: I'm a professional clothing maker and I'm so ready to feel insulted. Also, I'm so proud of everyone who wants to sew and try to learn.
this dress is SO PRETTY omg. legit something I would see online and add to my cart and stare at it wishing I could afford it lmao. you did so well :) I hope to create something like this someday!
The fact that you’re making your own first dance dress is so special 🥺 imagine gifting it to your daughter in the future for her to do her first dance in 😍🥰🥰 I love your creativity Mia ♥️ never change!
I made my first dress in January and it turned out exactly how I wanted. Then I decided to make a swimsuit for my first ever trip to Hawaii. It turned out perfect! I love sewing and would love to keep doing it.
not tryna be emotional but Mia, you have no idea how proud i am of you these days. i wasnt watching you from the start but even i know how much progress you've made like- i could never in my life achieve anything like that. I'm genuinely so happy for you now THAT IS THE CUTEST DRESS!!
I just thought she liked making (sewing) things, and so she would try to make a wedding dress. It's a good video concept ppl would watch & she is getting married. But, I didn't think she was going to wear it, bc of the custom Matoshi dress. Just for content & us.
This is so beautiful, and you can only tell the bottom is crooked if you look solely at the pink tulle but honestly it’s gorgeous, I want a dress like this
You are definitely the most wholesome, authentic person on this entire platform. I only discovered your channel at the begging of this year but I’m loving the variety of content. Our styles are so vastly different (I’m a neutral tones only kind of gal) but I just love watching your visions come to fruition.
I love your videos. Your first dance dress looks like cottage core. You are so beautiful and I'm so happy for you! Also its quite an accomplishment to finish a dress in 4 days
Watching Mia is the best entertainment ever! I'm not gonna lie though, I was wincing a lot and had to cover my eyes at some parts like I was watching a thriller! You just didn't know what was gonna happen with her sewing! HAHA! Good on you, girl! You did it!!! :)
Watching you go from glueing clothes together to making your first dance wedding dress has been sooo great! That dress is so so pretty, you did an amazing job Mia 🥰 Can't wait to see the official dress, I'm sure it's going to be stunning 💖
You rocked this project Mia. The part I took away from it and will use myself is breaking it down into days and stopping at times to restart in the morning. I find working in the morning is when I am at the top of my game. Doing that prevents some mistakes because when you are tired, you can make MAJOR mistakes. Great job!
I love your first dance wedding dress. It's so beautiful!!! I took sewing in school. I wish I could sew clothes I could wear. Your dress is cute Mia!!! Love ya!!!
My bf and I are not engaged yet but talk about our wedding all the time. We already have our first dance song picked out and in the song it references a "blue dress" and I want to wear a blue dress to dance in and I think making it will be the way to go! I do basic sewing but want to work into bigger projects, so maybe I can try an everyday dress before my first dance dress! This turned out so beautiful Mia and I hope we get to see a clip of your first dance!
My partners brother got engaged at the weekend, now Mia has released a wedding dress video, and on the same day HopeScope has released a wedding dress video and I'm just sat here ringless D:
This is me 50 years ago! Struggling to make something and getting wrong on so many levels! Your advice is spot on: practice and perseverance are the key. The dress is adorable! I hope you will be able to post a snippet of the First Dance for us! xoxo
This dress is the type of garment children use to brag. Something like “my mom made her own wedding dress out of a shower curtain and it turned out amazing” Seriously though the dress is so cute and the *movement* in that skirt is just 👌😍😍
The dress is absolutely beautiful Mia! The only thing I would suggest is getting ribbon that matches the pink tulle for the lace up back. Either that or a ribbon that is smaller and less noticeable. I just feel like what you have in there now doesn't seem like it is intentional. That is just my opinion and what matters is what you like though. Either way, it is still beautiful and you did an amazing job. Bravo!

@Thea oh hey! I have never met another Thea :)
I lke your name
Lol right!! That would’ve been perfect!!
Too bad she didn't prank her with this dress! Pretend it was bought from an etsy seller & show Mama Maples to see her reaction!
I'm sooo happy you went with Teuta Matoshi for your wedding dress! She seemed like the perfect designer to get everything you wnated for your dreamy fairy theme, I'm sure the dress will be absolutely gorgeous.
Your first dance dress turned out absolutely adorable! It's seriously so cute!

Mia is going to be that mom who creates her children’s Halloween costumes, & family photo outfits. 💕
Thank you so much for the likes 💕
@Ruth me too!
I would love to watch her making videos of that 😭
I don’t know why but watching Mia’s wedding content makes me so emotional, I feel like I’ve been watching her for ages.
Same!!😭

Thanks for the tip 🤣👍🏻 I’m surprised i should try it
I learned this is high school Drama, you know set and costumes is a big part of any show.
Mia, I am your grandmother’s age. You are soooo funny. I was quirky and creative and wonderful like you when I was young but didn’t even know it and even more, was shamed for my creativity and independence.
You literally are helping me love myself more and re-igniting a flame within. Crazy to say all that at my age but it’s true. Stay free. Stay true. Stay wonderful. You fill my heart with joy.
It is never too late to be yourself.
Your comment is so sweet 💓 and so well said. Mia is such a good inspiration for embracing creativity and one's true self 💓
Omgosh this is so sweet! Grandma core from sweet grandma herself 💓💓💓
You are my favorite type of person!! I hope to be as cool as you one day
i wish i had u as a grandmother, i wish i could ask for advice and hear your stories from when u were young.
This dress is soooo cottagecore!!!! I'm in love! Really beautifully finished Mia! BE PROUD! ENJOY!
THIS DRESS IS GLORIOUS. Please wear it even when you wont be wearing it on your wedding. It took you so long and it's handmade by yourself and your style. You look so good in it :D
I love how Mia went from "I'll just glue that on" on some of the cheap prom dress flips, to this :D
Girl this is absolutely stunning, you could easily be an Etsy store with your sewing, I know you’re gonna say you’re not good enough yet but I’m telling you all of us would buy stuff created by you 💕💕💕
Me and my husband were laying around. He was watching his show with headphones on and I was watching Mia. When it got to the reveal he stopped his video and said “Wow, Mia mad that?” It takes a lot to get a compliment out of him. Be proud Mia. Be very proud!

😂😂😂
mia’s sewing skills have literally gotten so much better! it’s crazy, but seriously the dress turned out so well and it is absolutely stunning! loving all the wedding content mia!!
I know I was so proud of her!💘
Her future children will be blessed 😩💗
I’m convinced there is nothing Mia can’t do! One thing about Mia she will teach herself and get it done
for future reference: the grommet machine can be used easier by hitting the handle with a mallet :) i use them quite often at the shoe repair shop i work at and the mallet makes it so much easier!

I reported the scammer for unwanted commercial content. It disappeared for me, but I suspect it will take several reports before YT removes it.
Scammer!
I love how she included everything in this dress that she didn’t have included in her wedding dress! Really creative! Best of both worlds honestly.
I love how humble you are. Even with your ability to financially buy a brand new dress or spend as much as you want, you chose to go your own route and save money where you can. Great job on your dress! Congrats on your wedding.
she's come a long way from gluing fabric together to make a garment 😂 it looks so cute
Yes!!! We love that for her! 👏🏼😍
This is AMAZING. One of the prettiest dresses I’ve ever seen. You have come so far!
That dress is cute AF. I think this has just inspired me to start making my own dresses again!
I learned how to sew in 7th grade, I just turned 70 this year and I can't tell you how much selling still brings me joy, you stick with it! Just think someday you'll be making babies clothes I've made christening gowns and Easter first outfits not just for my kids but for my grandchildren so much fun
Your sewing skills progression has been amazing to see!!! I’m so excited to see the dress result in this video 🤩
@Trin Murray definitely just do a little at a time. Don't push yourself to the point of unbearable pain just to do something.
Your health comes first
It's kinda inspiring. Makes me want to try. I think it would probably hurt my back too much but maybe I'll try anyway. I could do a little at a time...
Congratulations, Mia! I am so happy your dress turned out just the way you wanted! You did so great! it’s BEAUTIFUL.
It really gives me confidence that maybe sometime, I could do it!
Right?? I’ve never been able to do anything like this but she inspires me to try lol
Hi Mia!! Just a tip for sewing the overlay on- you can take paper and pin it to the fabric, then sew. It makes it a lot easier and prevents the overlay from slipping all over the place :) I love your videos and have loved seeing you grow over these past few years!!!

I'm so proud of her for getting through the parts when she wanted to scrap it! It's beautiful!
Girl you killed this!!! It looks beautiful and so proud of your progression!!!
This may be an unpopular opinion but, I like seeing the mess in the background from time to time! It's just so endearingly authentic and that feeling of authenticity is a big part of why I have been with for years 🌱
@Natasha what do you mean?!
👍Agreed!
Btw when is her wedding
Very true. Her authenticity makes me watch videos which i would never watch if it wasn’t her videos.
not as authentic as her nose plugs lol
MIA!!! OMG! From watching you prank your Mama Maples to this?! This is absolutely amazing! You did a fabulous job and it is absolutely stunning! You looks beautiful! So proud of you Mia, you’ve come so far!

Mia, sewing is becoming a lost art. As a grandma, I can tell you how proud I am of you. You have reached a point that every sewer has reached and you never gave up.
🥺
Oh gosh this is so beautiful! If you ever make a pattern out of this dress, I would buy it instantly! Really gorgeous
Thoughts before watching this video: I'm a professional clothing maker and I'm so ready to feel insulted. Also, I'm so proud of everyone who wants to sew and try to learn.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! This actually makes me want to start working with my nana even more! (She has her own business sewing WHILE being a nurse)😊🧏🏾♀️
not tryna be emotional but Mia, you have no idea how proud i am of you these days. i wasnt watching you from the start but even i know how much progress you've made like- i could never in my life achieve anything like that. I'm genuinely so happy for you now THAT IS THE CUTEST DRESS!!
Ugh, so proud of you!! I audibly gasped and squealed when I saw the end result. So gorgeous I’m crying 😭
This dress is so pretty it looks like you can wear it even on daily basis after your weddings over :D
Plus you look so beautiful in it
Mia never stops being Mia and I love it never change boo
Girl for a sec I was like- you’re really gonna give up matoshi’s dress? Btw I love all the wedding content
I thought she was going to wear one of the dresses from the trying on different wedding gowns (with Stewart) video, as her second switch into dress?
I just thought she liked making (sewing) things, and so she would try to make a wedding dress. It's a good video concept ppl would watch & she is getting married. But, I didn't think she was going to wear it, bc of the custom Matoshi dress. Just for content & us.
Ngl it was a jump scare when I saw the video title
SAME I WAS GONNA SCREAM, not that she couldn’t absolutely make a stunning dress but like…. MATOSHI hahaha
@Matilda Fors no she didn't show it but she mentioned in a video that she got a custom made wedding dress from teuta matoshi
truly gorgeous!!! I can not wait to see how beautiful you're going to look at your wedding day and to see the reveal of your actual dress 😍🥺
This turned out so good! Making me regret my first dance dress
This is so beautiful, and you can only tell the bottom is crooked if you look solely at the pink tulle but honestly it’s gorgeous, I want a dress like this

If I didn’t watch you make this myself I don’t think I would believe it! Wow wow wow, I love it so much!
I love your videos. Your first dance dress looks like cottage core. You are so beautiful and I'm so happy for you! Also its quite an accomplishment to finish a dress in 4 days

Ugh same! She’s amazing 💛
Miaaaaa you did so amazing! 🥺🥺 gosh this is so beautiful and going to be SUCH a memory and staple years from now 💗💗💗💗
You crack me up, grandma core, if it’s uneven don’t mention it! Obsessed with watching you and these videos. So proud of your sewing skills too!
OMG, Mia, the dress looks amazing! You are so talented ✨
This is so awesome!! Proud of how far you've come with making clothing and the dress turned out beautiful!
You're on the path of Christine Mcconnell ! So much creativity, such a cute dress ! Chris, France
That dress is lovely. And versatile! You could totally wear this outside of a wedding.
It would be sooo cute to wear it on like every anniversary or something!
You did so great! Making it yourself makes it so much more special!
You can literally do anything...i absolutely loved the dress...you are just amazing 💕
Watching Mia is the best entertainment ever! I'm not gonna lie though, I was wincing a lot and had to cover my eyes at some parts like I was watching a thriller! You just didn't know what was gonna happen with her sewing! HAHA! Good on you, girl! You did it!!! :)
Simply stunning. There is no end to your talent x
aweeee this looks like my childhood’s dream dress!!! past me would totally show this to my mom 🌸💕
Watching you go from glueing clothes together to making your first dance wedding dress has been sooo great! That dress is so so pretty, you did an amazing job Mia 🥰 Can't wait to see the official dress, I'm sure it's going to be stunning 💖

Mia didn't even make a mock up! That's SO impressive!! It's beautiful!
I love your first dance wedding dress. It's so beautiful!!! I took sewing in school. I wish I could sew clothes I could wear. Your dress is cute Mia!!! Love ya!!!

Omg the dress is absolutely beautiful!! 😍 Remember when Mia couldn’t even sew the cloud pillow right?!? 🤣 Now she’s making her own wedding dress!!!
Omg yes!!!! She should revisit that cloud pillow for sure.
It’s seriously so adorable and perfect for you! 😍
Love the dress , it's amazing that you did it all on your own ! Now i wanna learn how to sew my own clothes too !
Omg, Mia! I adore this dress, and you. You're one of my top favorites.
this dress is beyond gorgeous. mia, you are seriously the most talented person!!!!
I can't wait to see your wedding dress! This dress is STUNNING!!!!!!!
That amount of efforts behind the dress alone make it 100 times more prettier ✨
I get really happy when channels get such good response...gives me hope for my channel ❤️
Mia has so much damn talent it looks amazing
That dress is so dang cute! Love, love it!
My mom also made her own wedding dress and all the dresses for the bride's maids. She has absolutely no regrets. If you can, go for it!
That is an incredibly cute dress! Well done!
Mia you should make yourself a fabric wedding photo album that matches your dress!
As someone who is currently in the process of making a corset, this video gives me so much motivation. It’s so hard!
Mia it’s absolutely beautiful 😍 you should be so so proud of yourself!!!!
My partners brother got engaged at the weekend, now Mia has released a wedding dress video, and on the same day HopeScope has released a wedding dress video and I'm just sat here ringless D:
After watching your wedding video the dress was perfect for your first dance. Your wedding was 100% one of a kind.
Mia, there's just something so nice about watching you develop your sewing skills :) you've come a long way.
-Fellow Mia ALSO learning to sew
Mia, your wedding is literally going to be the cutest!! 💐🍃🪷 I’m so excited for you!
@Lauren P. I thought she was getting married soon....as in this year
@LUNALA I think sometime next spring!
When is her wedding?
Right?? I can’t wait for her to enjoy her magical day 🧡
I literally was cackling when you went at that dress when you seen it was uneven! Totally unexpected and perfect!
This is me 50 years ago! Struggling to make something and getting wrong on so many levels! Your advice is spot on: practice and perseverance are the key. The dress is adorable! I hope you will be able to post a snippet of the First Dance for us! xoxo
IT LOOKS AMAZING 🤩 I can’t believe how much Mia has improved since the first time she tried sewing. I love it, I want it, just absolutely beautiful!!!
I don't know how you are so calm doing this! I would be freaking out and crying if I made any mistakes lol 😂
your wedding series vids are pure love❤️
This dress is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely gorgeous and perfectly Mia.
Wow, this dress turned out beautifully Mia!!
😍
Love the trim, and the over all vibe of this dress. So stinking cute 🥰
It turned out even more beautiful than I was expecting!! I love it! The flowers and the lace made the dress
What a beautiful, sweet, talented and kind person you are, Mia!!
i'm so proud of you Mia it looks beautiful :)
This dress is the type of garment children use to brag.
Something like “my mom made her own wedding dress out of a shower curtain and it turned out amazing”
Seriously though the dress is so cute and the *movement* in that skirt is just 👌😍😍
The dress is absolutely beautiful Mia! The only thing I would suggest is getting ribbon that matches the pink tulle for the lace up back. Either that or a ribbon that is smaller and less noticeable. I just feel like what you have in there now doesn't seem like it is intentional. That is just my opinion and what matters is what you like though. Either way, it is still beautiful and you did an amazing job. Bravo!
