One day, I hope to be in a book store and stumble across "Angela Clayton's Guide to Historical Fashion" or something to that effect. I'd buy that book, even if I don't sew anymore.
You and me both haha!
Yeah ,i hoping that too
Very funny, the way you saw the front panel to the side panels, you said it was a "French seam". I swear to you, in France, we call it "couture à l'anglaise", which literally means "English seam" x)
Anais Gongora I learned that in my study abroad term in France. Thanks for bringing back that memory 🥰
Ça m'a toujours intriguée que le terme Couture anglaise/ french seam soit inversé comme ça selon le pays, je me demande d'où ça vient ?
LazyGirl Procrastinating master oui, surprenant que pour une fois, ces deux pays ne cherchent pas s'attribuer le mérite XD
Je sais que de la même façon, on dit en français "filer à l'anglaise" et en anglais "fuir à la française", mais dans ce cas on peut comprendre que chacun rejette la faute sur l'autre, je ne m'explique pas cette différence pour la couture x)
Anais Gongora, J'allais parler de "filer à l'anglaise" XD Mais j'avoue que je n'en sais pas plus sur l'origine de ce problème de couture ! C'est intriguant !
Lily Kiss , Peut-être que Google aura des informations pour nous aider X)
im calling the cops bc it is CRIMINAL to be that good at watercolour AND SEWING
I WAS THINKING THE SAME FRFR
eggboi 'it looks like a blob' guuuurrllllll
Why did I read it as "I'm calling the cops bc it is Criminal to be sewing that good at and watercolor and sewing"?
Ok but you’re not metioning jts crayono watercolors too!!!
Wait, so you mean to tell me that 18th century gowns had pockets but 99% of modern dresses do not? We need to take a lesson from the 18th century! I add pockets to ALL my dresses, I must carry all the things.
Riiot09 not strictly accurate.. Pockets were essential add ons worn under the gown and accessed via a purpose gap in the seam of the skirt..
They had slits in the sides that opened to allow a woman to reach small bags underneath the skirts. They were more slots than pockets.
@@AshHeaven even so, it's waaaay more than what we get in dresses now. Having a dress with pockets is such a big deal that if someone compliments your dress with pockets, the usual reaction is, IT HAS POCKETSSSS!!!!!! and not just a simple thank you lol
Thanks purses for that...
Gorgeous. I have to admit I died a little inside when you ironed the ruffle. I loved the original poofiness, although I totally understand why you did it.
For the ruffle monster in you. Awesome work!
For the ruffle monster in all of us!! thank you!
You should call your subscribers your ruffle monsters!
Was I the only one that got scared when it cut from her painting with watercolor to laying the fabric over the painting.
Same
Dress a la French is cool and all but I recently made a flamingo t-shirt.
Toot your own horn much
@@lindsayarmstrong7130 im tooting it so hard right now. *pulls out horn*
Photo or it didn't happen lol
@@natalieloxton4671 youtube hates pic replies so here you go🎷 😮
Not Me who’s the real winner here
You're mad! Completely and utterly bonkers! With the apparent patience of a saint. Can't wait to see the rest of the construction. Xx
I've been sewing for over 50 years and after watching this video with your excellent sewing skills, I have to say that I am confused. Very confused. I need lessons, I think. Many lessons. I LOVE 18th century clothing and this dress you are sewing is making me drool! Please do not ever stop sewing. You are a genius!
Beautiful. I have always loved historical dresses and I feel like an old soul most days when I prefer wearing long dresses to wearing jeans or pants. So this year I have decided I am going to start my own journey in making these gowns. Your tutorials along with Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner have been my inspirations to making this happen!
I love the term ”walking stitches” 💞 so looking forward seeing the rest of this project!
Girl....you are a sight to watch. You are crazy talented and so patient to do ALL of the hand sewing. You are awe inspiring.
I'm a total sewing novice, but I really enjoy history, so I thoroughly enjoy your channel. First of all, that gathered, crushed trim looks just like something from a museum piece, so awesome job! And second, for the first time ever, I actually understand French seams! It felt like every tutorial I've ever seen turns it into a 42 step process, but seeing you do it so quickly helped me see that it's not that complex! Thank you!
Good Lord, you are patient! This is AMAZING! Humbling to see how long it takes as talented a seamstress as you to make a costume like this.
Saque gowns are really pretty simple. You cut out the rough shape and then you pleat and fold until it fits the body. Origami dress!
I would love a video all about various trims just the trim because it all looks so pretty
Oh that is so lovely. I discovered while making my hand sewn quilt the only marking tool I had that wouldn't show was my PILOT FRIXION marker. To my surprise ironing removed the ink compleatly. I mostly do drawing & paintings. But this FRIXION pen was a god sent!!
I could watch you make ruffles all day. So satisfying to see the finished product
I don't sew anything that elaborate, but I love how you show techniques that I would never have known. The ruffles were beautiful and amazing! I love how the dress turned out. Thanks for showing these beautiful and informative videos!
Once again, I have found myself falling down a RUclips rabbit hole and I am
*LIVING* for this content
Watching this amazing process is *EVERYTHING*
I'm just really fascinated by your ever-changing nail colour throughout these clips, it really shows how long this took.
I love your third nail polish choice in this video. I love that you switch it out so often.
Cant wait to see the finished project! You go Angela
Oh, that’s pretty! When did those undergarments happen, though, are they from old projects? Gotta check that out, while I wait for the next part. It’s nice to see you do such an elaborate historical garment again (although I enjoyed sewing through the decades!) ...but these kind of dresses are just so mindblowing. And it always feels to me, like you’re really thoroughly enjoying doing garments with tons of elaborate details ...you know, the kind that would drive other people into madness 😉
Marie Antoinette would have worn them.
Wowzer, that is a complicated looking dress. Loved the smocking ruffles. I'll have to keep that dragon scale gathering in mind for future projects.
I really love these video even though I don't really know what's going on most of the time since I'm not a costume maker or professional in this realm. Also love you nails
You never fail to impress me with your talent, your patience, and your sheer will power when it comes to completing these insanely detailed projects.
I would also like to say thank you, because your videos helped me deal with all of the stress of grad school. Now they are helping to cheer me up whenever I feel homesick or stressed at my new postdoc position in France.
Girlfriend you’re much more patient than I! I can’t even imagine hand sewing those ruffles!
Love the beautiful peach colour you chose! Furthermore, the 18th century is one of my favourite fashion periods!
Can not wait for the rest of this, it looks amazing - but - watching you iron down those ruffles made me want to cry a little bit..
PS the dress is breathtakingly inspirational. The colour is delicate and charmingly feminine. Thank you for sharing
you could hide so much under that pannier its so ridiculously wide i love it
Awesome! You have such patience with detail. A joy to watch the sewing of someone else who loves ruffles.
This dress is insane!!! Holy crap...that was a lot of hand work. Great job...on to part two.
This dress makes me think of some of the garments that are worn in some of the episodes of Outlander when Clare and Jamie are in France. Love it. Can’t wait for part 2
I’d like to see a video of different types of stitches and how to do them and when to use them. Both machine and hand. And how to finish a hand stitch and what happens when you run out of thread for us beginners. Love you!
It's like a fairy tale - a beautiful dream. Yummy colors. Can't wait to see the hat!
Katherine Caron-Geig's petticoat tutorial is also fantastic.
You are so dedicated to your craft and it fucken SHOWS! You’re absolutely marvellous and I love watching you create beautiful things.
Its amazing how much research and work you put into this dress!
Angela, I am looking forward to the final dress, beautiful beginning.
Really interesting to watch. I had never considered how the trims were made! I recently completed the 'History of Royal Fashion' course on FutureLearn (free, but with the option of upgrading the course for extra benefits.) It was lead by University of Glasgow and was fab. Featured glorious gowns like the 'robe' you are making, so it's fascinating to see one being made. On the course they mentioned as well how they were sneaky with fabric and decorated only the bits that another person would see! It also showed menswear through the ages as well.
I love how your ruffles turned out
Thanks for the wonderful sewing inspiration. I love historic fashions. I am a doll artist and these are some brilliant inspirations.
LOVE the smocked ruffles. Oh and the unintentional mark transfer? I feel your pain. The struggle is real.
watching you do that smacking YIKES!...LOL! It turned out wonderful...and I can tell how much time you really spent doing it based on your nail polish color changes...LOL
So happy to have found this video! A robe à la française is a bucket list project for me, and something I hope to make before graduating college!
Oh my gosh! I am so excited to see how this project turns out! The "robe a la francaise" are my favourite historical garments!
This absolutely gorgeous and you did such a great job describing how to create the ruffles.
I really love this crumpled trim the dress is going to be awesome.
Walking stitches. Love that. All my hand sewing could be referred to as Walking stitches.
Your dress is coming out lovely.
I made a very similar dress last year but as I seriously dislike pinked, unfinished edges, I opted for hemmed ruffles, decorative stitches and lots and lots of lace.
That's sooo coooool. Could you possibly make a vlog about which books helped you most in learning to make patterns? Not even specifically historical patterns, but perhaps also the more general pattern making books that helped you out in the beginning/as a pro?
If you do a lot of binding strips you might get an accuquilt it would save a lot of time cutting strips. I feel like there is a lot of quilting techniques incorporated into your dress making. It sounds strange but your might enjoy an applique quilt class, silk ribbon embroidery class or a free motion quilting class. You are very talented and I enjoy your videos very much. It almost has a reverse applique effect.
This is a serious commitment and staggeringly impressive.
I am an avid sewer and hope to one day make one of these gowns.
It would have been more helpful if the video started not only with the watercolor illustration of the gown fight side up ,
but also a technical drawing of the portion of the underskirt made in the video.
Also it needed a quick diagram of the decorative trim technique. Then as we watch the trim being made it would have been so much easier to understand the markings and the stitching pattern.

Its amazing you can not only draw it, but
then create it!
So gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished garment!
This is crazy intricate but looks amazing!
It looks amazing! Goodness gracious though, that trim probably took more time than I usually spend on an entire project.
If you want to clean permanent ink from your ruler, methylated spirits are an excellent solvent for things like Sharpie ink.
I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but I LOVE those! And I really love the color choice for the dress. So pretty!!!
those ruffles are absolutely incredible, they must have taken forever!
when I get to the point of making a robe a la francaise this is going to be so incredibly helpful. thank you! glad you're doing it first and not me
I can’t wait to see the finished dress!
WOW ! I’m pretty sure you speak about 99 words to the minute, never once saying, ahm. That was sooo descriptive I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone speak with such passion and rigorous intent. Wonderful, bravo 👏🏻❤️🇦🇺 now for part 2 ha ha ha
What beautiful ruffles! Might have to make some and trim a chair with it.
The 18th century is my favorite century for fashion! You did such a gorgeous job with the trims, I would definitely love to see more of you playing around with different types of trims, since we see so many types in the garments of that era.
Those ruffles are awesome. Fiddly but simple. 👍💖
The trim looks incredible! I love smocking so much, despite how time consuming it is... Since I learned how to do it, I keep looking for excuses to incorporate it in my costumes!
There are chemises made with yards of extra fabric all smocked into the neckline. Looks really epic when it's all done. Might want to look them up, see if it fits any of your future planned projects ;)
The hand work amazes me.
You'll soon be ready for some Dangerous Liaisons. Fabulous. Thanks for all the hard work.
You explaining it very clear and make it easy. Thanks 😊
Girl you have discipline. Kudos to you!
Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦🇧🇦, I'm a designer and I am delighted with your works, also i enjoy watching your video all the time...all the best form Bosnia🇧🇦🇧🇦
Watching your videos is so relaxing to me, I don't know what it is about it. Maybe because I probably have trouble sewing on a button and I'm living vicariously through you lol :)
I wish I had seen this video before I made Simplicity 4092. I cut out the skirt panels, which were the perfect length over the sides of the panniers but 2 inches longer in the front and back, but now I know that what the pattern didn't mention is that I should have adjusted my length at the waistline. Thank you.
Angela, you are just so talented. I wish I could design and sew like that. Keep up the good work.
That walking stitch joke made me laugh so hard
I have a feeling this is going to absolutely spectacular when the whole outfit is put together!
Beautiful! Those ruffles are amazing. Also your water color is very good and was interesting to watch.
Great project Angela, amazing how much goes into all the ruffles.
FINALLY. I have been waiting for you to make one of these all year!
I found your channel around this time last year and you inspired me to start sewing again! Thanks for making a series on a robe a la francaise, there are only 1 or 2 on the whole of RUclips.
Wow! what a lot of work!!! I am so glad to see you doing the older historical dresses again. Although you did a wonderful job on the 1900's, I am more interested in seeing costumes from any time before WWI. Thank you for all the work that you do in showing historical costuming!!!
I'm typically not a fan of ruffles but those are so pretty! 😍😍
J'adore les Robes aux Françaises! I'm excited to see how it comes along! The colours you chose were really lovely~!
Very pretty! The ruffles are lovely!
Beautiful...can hardly wait for the dress!
Looks amazing! I notice how you so easily brush off the effort you put into your work. Such staggering work! I’d be interested in seeing how those ruffles sit if they aren’t ironed flat, & it would be lovely to hear if they do gain back some volume in the process of making & wearing the ensemble. Excited for the next part!!
I really got scared there a bit as I thought you put the fabric onto the wet painting! Thank goodness I realized it was just a perfectly placed jump cut.
Your fashion illustration is beautiful 😍
Loved the smocked ruffles!
Beautiful ruffles and color, looking forward to seeing the rest of the dress come together. Well done, as always!
That's a wonderful ruffle treatment! Thanks for sharing it!
Amazing Angela! Your pressed ruffles are spot on!
Thank you for all you do for us!
I would love to see your take on this design being the inspiration for a modernized skirt and blouse.
I have some ideas and would love to see you make a pink pencil skirt with frilly kick pleats with a blousey blouse using this beautiful dress as inspiration. .. I am inspired by your videos. Expecially this one.
Thank you,
Lisa
PS.... IF I get off my chair and make a pencil skirt inspired by this myself. . I will send you photo... IF
Following the progression of the project via nail color >>>>>
This looks impeccable! I love the sculpted effect of the trim, and the delicate color.
I love watching you hand stitch the smocking! It was very soothing and makes me want to do something similar. Guess I'll just stick to my English paper piecing for now!
