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!!!
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)
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.
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
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 love the term ”walking stitches” 💞 so looking forward seeing the rest of this project!
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!
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!!
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.
Once again, I have found myself falling down a UA-cam rabbit hole and I am
*LIVING* for this content
Watching this amazing process is *EVERYTHING*
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
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!
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.
Cant wait to see the finished project! You go Angela
Oh my gosh! I am so excited to see how this project turns out! The "robe a la francaise" are my favourite historical garments!
Okay, I'm pumped for this!!!!❤️❤️❤️
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 gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished garment!
Those ruffles are dashing! I love watching your videos, especially when you show off different techniques like this.
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! 💖
This turned out so beautifully! Loved seeing how the ruffles are done. So excited to see the rest of this project come together!
Super excited to see the rest of this outfit!
I’m so excited to see how the rest of the dress comes out! Beautiful as always!
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
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 love your technique on the ruffles. They look amazing!
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!
Its amazing how much research and work you put into this dress!
I’m in love with the trim, it’s beautiful!
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 UA-cam.
This looks impeccable! I love the sculpted effect of the trim, and the delicate color.
I would love a video all about various trims just the trim because it all looks so pretty
those ruffles are absolutely incredible, they must have taken forever!
I could watch you make ruffles all day. So satisfying to see the finished product
YES!! I’ve been waiting for you to make one!!!
So looking forward to seeing the rest of this dress! Love the ruffles!
The amount of thought and work you've put into this is phenomenal!!!
Beautiful ruffles and color, looking forward to seeing the rest of the dress come together. Well done, as always!
I'm just really fascinated by your ever-changing nail colour throughout these clips, it really shows how long this took.
THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!! So excited for this project!
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.
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.
It looks stunning! I really admire your patience for this kind of work!
Oh wow, Angela, this is stunning so far and those ruffles are incredible! I'm so excited for the next part!
So pretty!!! Can't wait to see the next part 😍
Love the ruffles! Can’t wait to see the finished piece.
This dress is insane!!! Holy crap...that was a lot of hand work. Great job...on to part two.
This absolutely gorgeous and you did such a great job describing how to create the ruffles.
I love this style! Thanks for taking on this project. It looks 'advanced'. Very beautiful
I'm so excited for this project!! I love your choice of fabrics, the colours are gorgeous and that shine!😍
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 have extraordinary patience! The trim is so lovely.
I can’t wait to see the finished dress!
I’m so excited to see the end results! It’s going to be so beautiful.
Amazing Angela! Your pressed ruffles are spot on!
Your work never ceases to amaze me!
I have been waiting for you to post another video, so glad you are back!
I love your third nail polish choice in this video. I love that you switch it out so often.
Your work blows me away. Absolutely lovely.
It's like a fairy tale - a beautiful dream. Yummy colors. Can't wait to see the hat!
Thanks for the wonderful sewing inspiration. I love historic fashions. I am a doll artist and these are some brilliant inspirations.
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.
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!!!
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!
This is a serious commitment and staggeringly impressive.
I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but I LOVE those! And I really love the color choice for the dress. So pretty!!!
You are so dedicated to your craft and it fucken SHOWS! You’re absolutely marvellous and I love watching you create beautiful things.
Great project Angela, amazing how much goes into all the ruffles.
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 the beautiful peach colour you chose! Furthermore, the 18th century is one of my favourite fashion periods!
I can't wait to see the rest!! It's so beautiful!
Beautiful! Loved how you did all the ruffles. That takes patience. Thanks to scalloped scissor link too. I’ve been wanting a pair.
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.
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 beautiful... I can't wait to see the whole project come together!!
I am so excited for this!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Very pretty! The ruffles are lovely!
I have a feeling this is going to absolutely spectacular when the whole outfit is put together!
Beautiful...can hardly wait for the dress!
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!
This might be my favorite piece you’ve made thus far. Love it!
PS the dress is breathtakingly inspirational. The colour is delicate and charmingly feminine. Thank you for sharing
I love how your ruffles turned out
Its going great! So excited to see it all come together
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
What an amazing project. I'm in awe.
I am in aww of the work you've done on this piece. Its wonderful! Also, I love your nail polishes.
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!!!
This trim you created was fascinating. It will come in very handy to me when creating trims for my 1850 garments....you made me ready to tackle my own trim reproductions!
Awesome! You have such patience with detail. A joy to watch the sewing of someone else who loves ruffles.
Your sketch is so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the final dress!!!! 💗💗💗
I really enjoyed watching you paint!
