One dress that absolutely took the internet by storm this year was Lirika Matoshi’s infamous strawberry dress, which is so universally beloved by netizens that it has taken on a life of its own. But the dress comes with a pretty hefty $490 price tag which makes it rather hard for most people to afford. So instead of buying it, a few talented ladies have decided to handmake their own versions at home. Here are some of our favorites.

Madison McQuary’s Perfect Recreation

If it isn’t impressive enough that somebody had the creativity to design the original strawberry dress, it’s certainly impressive that Madison McQuary managed to make a nearly-identical recreation just by looking at photos alone. Talk about skills.

The Beginner Version

According to Jerina Engel, she was only a sewing beginner when she made her own recreation of her strawberry dress, but we’d never be able to tell if she hadn’t told us.

Rachel Maksy’s Halloween Strawberry Dress

If there’s only one way to make the adorable strawberry dress even better, it’s to make it spooky, and that’s exactly what Rachel Maksy did when she created an orange and black bat-adorned version. There’s no doubt that she’ll have an absolutely boo-tiful Halloween in that creation.

Every summer, there seems to be a dress that takes over our Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, and this summer, it happens to be “The Strawberry Dress” by Lirika Matoshi. The tea dress costs $490 and it’s the perfect dress for any girly girl—it’s made of pink tulle, with a deep V-neckline, ruffles along the hem, a cinched waist, and red sequin strawberry embellishments.

In fact the dress has even become a viral hit with memes, tweets, and videos of people making knockoffs of the dress.

The dress was designed by Matoshi in July 2019 and as soon as she posted it on Instagram, it became a huge hit. Back in January, model Tess Holliday wore a custom version of it to the Grammy and she referred to the look as “If Strawberry Shortcake & Lana Del Rey had a baby.”

Matoshi didn’t expect the dress sales to go up during the pandemic and the dress is currently the best selling dress in the collection. There’s even a coordinating face mask!

“Most of the people who buy the dress right now, they don’t know where they’re going to wear it but like to wear it at home,” Matoshi said. “I wouldn’t know where to wear it. I haven’t worn a dress since the beginning of the pandemic,” she added.

One of the best things about the dress is that it’s available up to a size 20, which isn’t the case for most designer brands. The dress also fits in perfectly with the cottagecore trends that’s been having a major moment during the pandemic.
