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.
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 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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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! :)
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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! 👏👏👏🙏❤️✝️
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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!
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'!!!
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🥂
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!
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!
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!
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.
Overlapping boning casing is such a genius idea and I wish I had seen this earlier today before I drove 40 minutes to buy heat shrink tubing for this step. Oh well
Awesome video thanks! Would you mind sharing what measurement changes you made for boning number 4 and 5 to get that nice dome shape you were mentioning ?? And also curious how would you have attached pockets on the vertical twill strips to have let the horizontal hoops run through them ? I am horrendous at hand sewing lol
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.
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’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.
Planning ahead is something I feel is really difficult when making a intimidating project or using a method that I am unfamiliar with. When you talked about how you could have planned better I just could think of the project that I am working on atm. For me it would be impossible to plan this project better, and even if it bothers me to need to do alterations in the middle of the project for not knowing what I am doing, I feel like that is part of the process with new and unfamiliar things. Seeing you having the same moments of realisations of how it should have been done from the beginning makes my frustration less big.
Adding that boning casing you attached first on they eyelet lace side..that's a lot of stitching it looks like, Isn't bulky and touch to get your needle to go through? That light blue dress at the end is super cute! Congrats on the project! You should feel proud!
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
Omg it's kind of awesome to see how it moves, it flows and has more give than I thought it would. Do you know how to waltz? Or any ballroom dances? I want to see that baby in action.
I truly hope you find some Navy blue and white floral patterned material and some blush tones in interesting textures. I look forward to watching all your content 😊
Have you checked out the totoro costume by Adam Savage? It has this structure but mirrored on itself and he explains how he sized and proportioned it, in full size.
Thank you for sharing this video. I was looking at making a white and gold Beauty and the Beast style dress for a cosplay. It will need a hoop skirt like the one you've shown us. I have to agree about a four hour stitching video. Just watching you work might be a little dull for long periods. My daughter would most likely want to use the laptop around the point you'd are something key/informative info.
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).
I'd be down to pop in for a sewing stream gonna be honest Probably crochet something while watching, since that's my primary craft, though I have been picking up a bit more sewing and I've been improving in knitting. It's just... see vintage sewing patterns like that Simplicity 70's Jiffy and start drooling...
Beautiful work! Can you tell me how many meters of hoop steel you ended up purchasing? I am making a crinoline and am aiming to make it similar in proportion to this one :)

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!!!

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!
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!
Watching the skirt sway while Angela wears it is so relaxing
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 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!
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.
When I made my hoop skirt, I sat in the middle of it, in a chair, and hand stitched the rings going around.
your pink 1860s gown had me drooling
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.

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!
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.
Interesting to see what goes into making a hoop skirt and looking forward to the first dress you’ll make to go over it.
I am super excited for the new hoop skirt series.

I loved how you matched your eyeshadow to your dress
Ive been waiting for this video for 9 months now. And now its finally here.
I always love when her videos come out. They are very calming
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!
i think i fell in love with this
I use sewing & crafting streams as a quasi work-along/ motivation thing.
The hope skirt is great. Also love how you have your hair and makeup done at the end of this video.
Angela you are a beast!!! That hoop skirt is fabulous!! It is definitely going to take your next creation out the ball park!!
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'!!!
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🥂
yessss love this! i’ve always wanted to tackle one of these. this turned out so fantastic 💕

The hoop skirt came out beautiful!!! And, by the way, the printed dress you wore earlier in the video is adorable!!!
Angela coming through with another epic project!!!!!
your makeup in the intro is so flattering and cute!
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!
You rocked this project!! I don't think I would have been able to stay as calm as you did!! Hahaha!!
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!
As always this is fabulous and I can't wait for the bustle crinoline and dress because Victorian fashion is my favourite!!!
Depending on your ceiling height it can be easier to put the form up on a table and work on the garment while standing.
There have been SO many times when I've been hemming things that I long for high enough ceilings to pull that off. Alas, they are standard height.
@@AngelaCostumery Maybe when it's nice outside?
after much searching I finally found this petticoat formula on your channel..thank you so much..🥰 ❤ love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩💚❤

The red bodice/corset looks lovely! Did you make it? Is there a video?
Fantastic work! I will look forward to seeing how you work out the nonsymetrical shape hoop. That pattern book is cool to see!
Super helpful!! I am going to make a hoop skirt as well and I am super glad I found a great tutorial on it
Looking forward to this weekend now!!
Overlapping boning casing is such a genius idea and I wish I had seen this earlier today before I drove 40 minutes to buy heat shrink tubing for this step. Oh well
Looking forward to seeing the dress that goes on top. Great job !
Awesome video thanks! Would you mind sharing what measurement changes you made for boning number 4 and 5 to get that nice dome shape you were mentioning ?? And also curious how would you have attached pockets on the vertical twill strips to have let the horizontal hoops run through them ? I am horrendous at hand sewing lol

You are epic! Also the light blue blouse is beautiful on you. You looked amazing in your outro
Such an interesting process! I really hope you film making the dress to go over the hoops!
Very nice. mine was made with plastic tubing. Great job!
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 :)
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.
Fascinating to see how they were constructed. Thank you!
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.
I love your button rug!!
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!
Planning ahead is something I feel is really difficult when making a intimidating project or using a method that I am unfamiliar with. When you talked about how you could have planned better I just could think of the project that I am working on atm. For me it would be impossible to plan this project better, and even if it bothers me to need to do alterations in the middle of the project for not knowing what I am doing, I feel like that is part of the process with new and unfamiliar things. Seeing you having the same moments of realisations of how it should have been done from the beginning makes my frustration less big.
Adding that boning casing you attached first on they eyelet lace side..that's a lot of stitching it looks like, Isn't bulky and touch to get your needle to go through? That light blue dress at the end is super cute! Congrats on the project! You should feel proud!
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 😍
Your makeup is gorgeous in this video! Both looks are so cute! ♥
Can't wait to see the petticoats & dresses you work up!
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’m looking forward to seeing more from this project. You did a wonderful job.
Omg it's kind of awesome to see how it moves, it flows and has more give than I thought it would. Do you know how to waltz? Or any ballroom dances? I want to see that baby in action.
I truly hope you find some Navy blue and white floral patterned material and some blush tones in interesting textures. I look forward to watching all your content 😊
Have you checked out the totoro costume by Adam Savage? It has this structure but mirrored on itself and he explains how he sized and proportioned it, in full size.
I definitely need information on corset! Did you make it yourself? Also I can't wait to see the dress for this!!
Worth the effort. Good for you for getting a sponsor. Deserve it. 👍💖
It's a masterpiece of undergarments💟
Thank you for sharing this video. I was looking at making a white and gold Beauty and the Beast style dress for a cosplay. It will need a hoop skirt like the one you've shown us.
I have to agree about a four hour stitching video. Just watching you work might be a little dull for long periods. My daughter would most likely want to use the laptop around the point you'd are something key/informative info.
This is so awesome, great job!!!! You are so talented and I can't wait to see what you put over this!!
Hoopskirt looks great🖒👗
I love that she covers the webcam on her laptop 😂 i don’t know a lot of people that do like me!
Make all the hoop skirts !!! This was awesome!!!!
Best video..😍 but whats the name of these plastic like wire, and where i can purchase these ?
Rpl plz
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).

Really looking forward to the rest of the videos! Aaaaah, it' SO symmetrical! So visually satifying!
WOW!! Totally amazed at your talent!!! Fantastic job!!!
Oh, well done! I‘ve never seen the construction process of one of those. Very interesting!
Beautiful work! Can you tell me how many meters of hoop steel you ended up purchasing? I am making a crinoline and am aiming to make it similar in proportion to this one :)
Another amazing job. Looking forward to the dress.
