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
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...
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)
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.
Was I the only one that got scared when it cut from her painting with watercolor to laying the fabric over the painting.
Same
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!
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 love the term ”walking stitches” 💞 so looking forward seeing the rest of this project!
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!
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!
Cant wait to see the finished project! You go Angela
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'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!
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.
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.
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
Oh my gosh! I am so excited to see how this project turns out! The "robe a la francaise" are my favourite historical garments!
It's great to see you back! It's coming out dreamy so far, and your voice-overs have gotten really great and more natural sounding. I can't wait to see the next part. Keep up the good work! 💖
So happy to see some new videos! I love that its a giant frilly pink OTT gown, one of my favourite dresses you've ever made is the civil war era ball gown. Looking forward to see the process
This turned out so beautifully! Loved seeing how the ruffles are done. So excited to see the rest of this project come together!
Its amazing how much research and work you put into this dress!
THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!! So excited for this project!
I love these videos, I just want to take a moment and thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos so people like I can watch them! I love the combination of history and fashion it's so eye opening all the work that goes into one garment!Keep doing what you're doing it's amazing!!!!
I’m so excited to see how the rest of the dress comes out! Beautiful as always!
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.
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!!
thank you so much for beginning this project!!! i absolutely love 18th century fashion, and this is the first video i’ve seen that’s gone into depth on something as specific as ruffles!
So looking forward to seeing the rest of this dress! Love the ruffles!
Thanks for the wonderful sewing inspiration. I love historic fashions. I am a doll artist and these are some brilliant inspirations.
Okay, I'm pumped for this!!!!❤️❤️❤️
This looks impeccable! I love the sculpted effect of the trim, and the delicate color.
Oh wow, Angela, this is stunning so far and those ruffles are incredible! I'm so excited for the next part!
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.
This dress is insane!!! Holy crap...that was a lot of hand work. Great job...on to part two.
Super excited to see the rest of this outfit!
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!
I'm so excited for this project!! I love your choice of fabrics, the colours are gorgeous and that shine!😍
Beautiful ruffles and color, looking forward to seeing the rest of the dress come together. Well done, as always!
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 can't wait to see the rest!! It's so beautiful!
I could watch you make ruffles all day. So satisfying to see the finished product
Love it can't wait for more, LOVE those ruffles! Would look great on a t-shirt!!
Looking forward to the finished dress!! Absolutely love the ruffles!! I love watching these even though I don’t sew. I want to, but my patience for being good at sewing is very thin.
So gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished garment!
I’m in love with the trim, it’s beautiful!
Girlfriend you’re much more patient than I! I can’t even imagine hand sewing those ruffles!
Those ruffles are amazing! I will never make anything so ambitious, but you're a good, unpressuring teacher & an inspirational stident, all at once. 💙 Can't wait to see where you go with the rest of the dress!
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!
So beautiful... I can't wait to see the whole project come together!!
Love the ruffles! Can’t wait to see the finished piece.
So pretty!!! Can't wait to see the next part 😍
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 have been waiting for this since Instagram! So excited!❤️
I have sewn my whole life and still can not come close to your skill. I can't wait to see the robe finished as well as hearing how you made it.
So beautiful, as usual! Cannot wait to see the rest!
Omg the day has come. The video I have been waiting for, THANK YOU ANGELA. btw missed you
YES!! I’ve been waiting for you to make one!!!
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!!
Love,love,love the watercolor; you’re very talented. And those ruffles! That was so cleverly done and they *do* look like the real thing. Eagerly awaiting the next parts
I love this style! Thanks for taking on this project. It looks 'advanced'. Very beautiful
I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but I LOVE those! And I really love the color choice for the dress. So pretty!!!
The amount of thought and work you've put into this is phenomenal!!!
Its going great! So excited to see it all come together
This is amazing! 😍 I learn at least 2 new things every video!
Thank you for making such wonderful gowns and videos!
I am in aww of the work you've done on this piece. Its wonderful! Also, I love your nail polishes.
This might be my favorite piece you’ve made thus far. Love it!
I am so excited for this!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
I love your third nail polish choice in this video. I love that you switch it out so often.
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
You are so dedicated to your craft and it fucken SHOWS! You’re absolutely marvellous and I love watching you create beautiful things.
I have been waiting for you to post another video, so glad you are back!
It looks stunning! I really admire your patience for this kind of work!
I love your technique on the ruffles. They look amazing!
This is a serious commitment and staggeringly impressive.
Your sketch is so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the final dress!!!! 💗💗💗
those ruffles are absolutely incredible, they must have taken forever!
I love your ruffles!!!!
My grandmother was a seamstress and pattern maker The item she never had the opportunity to teach me was more atelier styled techniques.
You are a blast and incredibly motivational.
Thankyou!!!
A new video!! yay!!! this dress looks sooooo good!!
I'm just really fascinated by your ever-changing nail colour throughout these clips, it really shows how long this took.
I’m so excited to see the end results! It’s going to be so beautiful.
So gorgeous! Cannot wait to see the end result!
Awesome! You have such patience with detail. A joy to watch the sewing of someone else who loves ruffles.
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.
Beautiful...can hardly wait for the dress!
I would love a video all about various trims just the trim because it all looks so pretty
You have extraordinary patience! The trim is so lovely.
Your work blows me away. Absolutely lovely.
Gorgeous!! Can't wait to see the rest!
Amazing Angela! Your pressed ruffles are spot on!
YAY!! Lace and ruffles!! And in my favorite 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!
So excited to see the rest!
Beautiful! Loved how you did all the ruffles. That takes patience. Thanks to scalloped scissor link too. I’ve been wanting a pair.
This absolutely gorgeous and you did such a great job describing how to create the ruffles.
Amazing work. Looking forward to see the rest!
Owww excited for part two!
I wanted to let you know you've inspired me to begin sewing again. I've always loved sewing and your videos, along with my daughters promoting, I'm back at it. I even created 2 tops for my youngest daughter from scratch. Thanks again for all your great content. Btw, I love your funny comments, background music and just the overall good quality of the videos you make. Keep em coming. I also follow you on Patreon.
Omgsh I’m so excited!! Especially since I’m working on two of these era gowns for my little girls 😊😊😊
It's like a fairy tale - a beautiful dream. Yummy colors. Can't wait to see the hat!
