I wished I was joking but I was googling how to make a hoopskirt 30 minutes ago. The fantastic Angela Claytino has foreseen the prophecy and prepared us for the present and future.
Same :.)
I realise this is an old video now, but in terms of hand stitching I would highly recommend John James needles. I’m a costume maker in training and they have totally changed my life when it comes to hand sewing. The John James needles are platinum coated and super sharp, so perfect for going through thicker materials like bone casing without killing your hands.
My mums crinoline has tabs on the hoops where they connect to the tapes and are attached with pins (usually modern day safety pins.) It allows for cleaning as well as slight adjustments. This will work for not only the 1850’s but will also work as a modest shape for the 1860’s as well.
This hoop came back around 100 years later. My mother got married in 1955 and wore a similar hoop under her wedding gown. It made the gown look so beautiful.

I make/have made many, many, maaany (LOL)hoop skirts in various types and styles. A trick I picked up a few years ago is going to the dollar store to buy and just keep around several different sizes of hula hoops. I know it sounds crazy, but for mocking up in those first steps of drafting, creating support for already existing garments, understanding the shape you are going for, and even making up a quick hoops on tape mock up or an emergency support (ever get that call from a friend "Oh my gosh! I need a hoop skirt in a half hour! HELPPPPP!" You reply "Duct tape , hula hoops and saftey pins! LETS DO THIS!")
As an easy helpers tool, in hoop making, a classoc children's toy proves it's usefulness.
Re-watching this now because I'm FINALLY beginning my foray into historical sewing, in the guise of making my almost six-year-old daughter a Cheshire Cat costume for book week, but not just any Cheshire Cat costume, no! An 1860s ball gown (Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865) Cheshire Cat costume, with pink striped cotton and lots of trim and the Cheshire Cat's face hidden in a floral headpiece! This video has helped enormously with creating a tiny crinoline, shop thank you!
The amount of math/measuring involved in this process would have probably killed me. Super impressed with you for figuring it out and following through! BRAVA!
I'm so impressed with the finished hoop skirt and I'm so proud of you for tackling the challenge. Recently, I was with my daughter and we were watching some of your older videos together. You have come such a long way in your skill levels. You seem to be able to finish more of the projects which you start. I love that we viewers are getting to come along for the ride as you grow in your abilities. I encourage you to always add more ruffles. That lovely lace does nobody any good if it perpetually sits in your stash. It was made to be used and loved. I believe that it is entirely a "period practice" to add more ruffles to even one's unmentionables when doing so makes you feel happy. Lastly, I would totally be up for four or five hours of livestream handwork. I'd be sitting here with my own work, sewing along in a virtual sewing bee. Doing that maybe only once or twice a year wouldn't be unreasonable but it could be very tiring for you.
I am SO excited about a whole mid/late-19th century series, that's the era that sparked my passion for historical costuming and fashion... plus a healthy Gone With the Wind obsession.... ;)
I love the comment that described you as a ruffle monster. I love when you use ruffles and lace, we all do. Wonderful job Angela!!!
When I made my hoop skirt, I sat in the middle of it, in a chair, and hand stitched the rings going around.
Ruffle Monster Angela strikes again!
It looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make to put on top of it!
Eyelet lace is appropriate for 1850's and 60's undrgarments. You did a wonderful job! When I make mine, Ill cut the waist =band with extra length so that I can tie it around my waist. I trust my knot tieing abilities more than I trust a hook and bar. All the hoop skirts I've seen used for reenacting are tied around the waist, instead of using a closure.
yessss love this! i’ve always wanted to tackle one of these. this turned out so fantastic 💕
I cannot thank you enough for your informative step-by-step tutorial as it has educated me to properly attempt making a petticoat for my bridal gown overskirt - as far as both materials needed as well as the amount of materials, and of course, the process of making it as well.
End result looks great, cant wait to see the outfit you biuld onto it.
Also get that coin sis! Good for you getting a sponsor you deserve it
I made this for my senior capstone/mandatory science fair project, and you can make this for 27 dollars(not including tax), in my case I could at least, 50 yards of twill tape 1 inch wide for 10 dollars, folded in half for the boning casing, waist band, and vertical tapes, then 12 dollars for 50 yards of 10 mm plastic boning, and 5 dollars for a set of snaps for the waist band. It was set up like an engineering project and it was super fun.
All the materials save the snaps I got off amazon, the snaps were from walmart, I didnt do the bottom fabric bit, cause I'm short and made the hoop spacing too long, but my walmart has yard of fabric for 2 dollars or under, sometimes more sometimes less, quality varies
I think the 90 inch circumference would have been great. The ruffle petticoat will add volume. I'm excited to see the finished effect. Thank you for taking on the challenge and sharing with us.
Love this! Foundation construction videos are some of my absolute favorite historical videos to watch! Can't wait for the rest of this little series!
Do you have a video for the dress yet? I'm super excited to see this hoop skirt in action.
By the way, your videos are my daily addiction now.
No - the hoop skirt was only finished yesterday, so it will be a while before I have anything to put over it! But I DO have fabric for the future dress! :)
Yay!
I'm super excited for this mini series! I really love the silhouette of this period and ever since you've mentioned your intention to try out a bustle dress, I've been eagerly waiting for you to make it, but getting the plans for the earlier decades is honestly like a Christmas present to me. Thank you so much!
Loooooove this video!!!! Hoop skirts are sooo intimidating!! I love that you shared your feelings and then that you’re proud of the end result even though it’s not perfect - in that was, this video is perfect! I am so excited for the next in this series!!!
i can't wait to see the dresses that will go on top of this! i'm so excited. good job on tackling something new and intimidating for you, you're truly an inspiration :)
I always love when her videos come out. They are very calming
I am so happy you did this! I tried to make a hoop skirt a few years ago and failed 3 times. Also you look so beautiful, the blue looks great on you!
This is so awesome, great job!!!! You are so talented and I can't wait to see what you put over this!!
So impressive, watching you tackle these intense projects is so inspiring. Love your makeup in this video. It seems every decade flatters you! Good show🥂
I was a lot of fun to watch you make a hoop skirt! I recently made one and it was so much fun to wear it. Mine was not historical and less 'correct' as it needed to be light weight with removable boning to fit it and its petticoat in a bag and take it through public transport. Tubes intended for electrical wiring worked surprisingly well, although they do not keep their shape as well as proper boning does. Great video! Your videos carry me through the tedious bits on my knitting and sewing projects and I'm always happy to see that you've uploaded.
I can picture myself wanting to do this but being afraid and so talking myself out of it over and over. Good for you for accepting the challenge and doing such an amazing job!
Really looking forward to the rest of the videos! Aaaaah, it' SO symmetrical! So visually satifying!
Angela, you are one of the only people I know who can make sewing a crinoline so engaging that I did not want the video to end. This was an awesome project and I'm glad you took it on.
your makeup in the intro is so flattering and cute!
Any time we do something for the first time, we learn a lot and obviously subsequent attempts become more streamlined. You did a fantastic job. Hoop skirts are a mathematical and engineering project. So many angles and circles.
I am super excited for the new hoop skirt series.
This was amazing and I love seeing you do these vids
Angela coming through with another epic project!!!!!
Really very interesting to see how it all goes together, thanks for the video! I always enjoy the under garment videos, it’s like seeing behind the smoke and mirrors. A little mystery and secrets solved.
Oh wow your hair looks so pretty in this video! Also I really like the hoop skirt base, cant wait to see the skirt you put over top of it!
Your makeup is gorgeous in this video! Both looks are so cute! ♥
Watching the skirt sway while Angela wears it is so relaxing
You’re a lifesaver!!!! I’ve been stressed looking for the right boning and am new to this. I ordered spiral metal boning and it says it will work for corsets but too flexible for hoop skirts and trying to find this and the millinery wire from where I am is almost IMPOSSIBLE and I received a big order my first time of making Victorian attire. I have looked at so many tutorials for making hoop skirts, but none of them had said how wide the boning was and then I saw on your description that you put the link! Thank God for you! 👏👏👏🙏❤️✝️
The hoop skirt turned out amazing 💙 especially for your first time! I can't wait to see the dress you make to go over this.
It’s exciting to watch you work i can’t wait to see everything put together
Angela you are a beast!!! That hoop skirt is fabulous!! It is definitely going to take your next creation out the ball park!!
I’m looking forward to seeing more from this project. You did a wonderful job.
You are epic! Also the light blue blouse is beautiful on you. You looked amazing in your outro
I can’t wait to watch your elliptical crinoline video! 💕
You’ll help me so much when I make my own!
Fantastic work! I will look forward to seeing how you work out the nonsymetrical shape hoop. That pattern book is cool to see!
This video was amazing 😍 I can't wait to see the petticoat and hopefully a video of an 1850s dress to go over it!! Pretty please 😍
Ive been waiting for this video for 9 months now. And now its finally here.
I enjoyed this video. Can’t wait to see the hoop skirt under the dresses. Fun to construct something historical. Very nice and so interesting.
You done good! it turned out really well I cant wait to see the dresses you design to go with your hoops!
Your shirt in your intro is adorable! Did you make it yourself?
I was thinking about too!! And blue shirt is very pretty too
Thank you - it's a sixties dress I got on etsy!
Thanks for showing the bit about cutting the flat steel boning. I've been making a corset and am stuck on how to cut and shape the ends of the boning but feel more confident to do that part now.
Fascinating to see how they were constructed. Thank you!
The hope skirt is great. Also love how you have your hair and makeup done at the end of this video.
Great job, Angela! That crinoline was a challenge and you aced it. Looking forward to seeing what you make to go over it. Love your channel (and Patreon).
Ah can't wait to see the other hoop skirts and the dresses to go over top! I really want to make a Victorian dress including undergarments, but due to so many other projects I want to tackle first, I think it will have to wait!
Interesting to see what goes into making a hoop skirt and looking forward to the first dress you’ll make to go over it.
First off I love watching your videos. I completely understand the fear of making one of these as I had to for my Casca ball dress from the Berserk anime. It was very hard to find a reference pictures cause felt like this style hoop skirt would work for that dress and I wanted it to be more rounded then it was in the anime. This was a joy to watch and I learned some things that will help me make a better one for an upcoming project in the future. I can't wait to see the others.
Looking forward to this weekend now!!
Super helpful!! I am going to make a hoop skirt as well and I am super glad I found a great tutorial on it
You. Are. Incredible girl!!! It looks amazing!!!!!
I’m so happy you are doing this!!
The hoop skirt came out beautiful!!! And, by the way, the printed dress you wore earlier in the video is adorable!!!
WOW!! Totally amazed at your talent!!! Fantastic job!!!
You rocked this project!! I don't think I would have been able to stay as calm as you did!! Hahaha!!
Looking forward to seeing the dress that goes on top. Great job !
Worth the effort. Good for you for getting a sponsor. Deserve it. 👍💖
i think i fell in love with this
As always this is fabulous and I can't wait for the bustle crinoline and dress because Victorian fashion is my favourite!!!
Can't wait to see the petticoats & dresses you work up!
I loved how you matched your eyeshadow to your dress
Absolutely amazing Angela! It looks fantastic! I would love for you to make a tutorial video of an 1880's bustle and the proper corset for that era from Nora Waugh's 'Corsets and Crinolines'!!!
You have done a fabulous job as always
after much searching I finally found this petticoat formula on your channel..thank you so much..🥰 ❤ love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩💚❤
I love your videos, I always learn from you!
Your videos make me so happy
Im also in love with eyelet lace
I love your button rug!!
Such an interesting process! I really hope you film making the dress to go over the hoops!
I’m all caught up! I’ve watched nearly all your videos ( not some of the hat or headpiece ones) . Was so happy to see this one when I finished the last one.
While not accurate or what you intended, I liked how the hoops looked on that initial pinning. It kind of had a fancy Bell shape to it. Can't wait to see the others in this series!
Love it! It looks amazing.
Amazing job. Amazing patience!
Oh, well done! I‘ve never seen the construction process of one of those. Very interesting!
Just Amazing work!🤯
I made an early 1860s elliptical crinoline a while ago using almost the same process as you and when you started hand sewing the joins together... boy the visceral memories in my fingers from that experience! I think I had nearly two hundred joins in total? And you're right, boning casing is so thick and hard to sew through. My crinoline is dotted with souvenirs from the huge number of times I pricked my fingers making it. But it was a learning experience and is so much fun to wear! Yours looks amazing and you used a couple of good techniques/steps that I shall follow next time I make one :)
Did you have a tutorial you followed? I've been doing a lot of research and still rather scared about how to get the elliptical shape.. 😬
Another amazing job. Looking forward to the dress.
I use sewing & crafting streams as a quasi work-along/ motivation thing.
Very nice. mine was made with plastic tubing. Great job!
It's a masterpiece of undergarments💟
Great video! The hoops turned out well.
I have looked into making a hoop skirt for myself (since I inherited some hoop boning from my mentor), but have yet to find a good way of going about it, whether by pattern or creating my own. Thank you for showing me how I can create my own hoop skirt.
your pink 1860s gown had me drooling
Outstanding creativity.
Well thought out. I liked how you pinned the hoops and thought the same thing when i was looking at how these were constructed. I was thinking you were going to put a buttoned lower part with more ruffles on it, but that is good and they were like that as well. Not as easy for cleaning your way, the bottom could be taken off for easier cleaning. Would love to see the other types, but would most prefer the layers to go over this first. The template idea is the best from what i can tell from matching this type of hoop skirt to what others are doing and how they are doing it. Reminds me of a tailor set that had wood sticks for measurements on corsets from 16 inch waist to 46, can't remember the name of the sets. The part that i get a bit confused would be the top and how it drapes to hold the hoops. It is one thing to make one for yourself, but how on earth could they make them fit well selling them off the shelf back then. I know most were made per person earlier years, but later on they became factory produced. Great video and gave me a lot to think about in regards to them, thank you.
Make all the hoop skirts !!! This was awesome!!!!
Agh! I would have killed for an elliptical hoop skirt tutorial two months ago. I used it for a fairy godmother costume I made using your Dewdrop Ballgown pattern with McCall’s. Ah well, there’s always room to improve!
WOW!!!!! Just WOW!!!
Cool! Looking forward to the dress!
