The video about making the bodice is now up - watch until the very end to have the question of "CAN YOU SIT IN IT?" answered! ua-cam.com/video/CDEbbt9f560/v-deo.html
My boyfriend: what are you doing
Me, getting out the machine: THERE'S STILL TIME
Exactly this. I'm in love!
^^ yep. 12/22
I am absolutely in awe of the designing of this. It’s wearable, it doesn’t scratch you, and it looks amazing. Angela giving us those Wizard of Oz vibes with the shoes
The skirt, the shoes, the nail polish(es) - everything about this video is so gloriously festive & I'm here for it! 🎄🎄🎄
I think this could definitely have turned out looking tacky and cheap, but you somehow managed to avoid all of that and it looks so cute and amazing. Great job!!
the skirt is so beautiful! I definitely see it being a sewing room decoration every Christmas.
I’m 42 seconds in and this skirt with those shoes are EVERYTHING. 🤯🤯❤️
This years pumpkin project was my favourite to date and a literal tree christmas project is soooo 100% my favourite christmas project of all time!! and its not scratchy!
This is ridiculous in all the best ways. It looks stunning and comfortable.
That is absurdly wonderful! I love how you looked at all the existing inspiration photos and then made this actual wearable and storable version. A question about wearing it - I assume you cannot sit down ever due to the pine garland and ornaments on the back? I love the idea of wearing something like this to a party but sitability is key for longer events, for me at least.
You can choose the silly option and carry a smallish stool?
Or the Morgan Donner solution: ua-cam.com/video/svhP_-HyN_U/v-deo.html
You wear gym shorts and learn the hoop skirt sit - back up to the seat and perch with the hoops up and on the seat. They should spread out to show off the walking sculpture you’re wearing.
There a mid 19th century small sofa called a settee that’s made for the ladies to perch on, though in a long gown you sit between hoops.
This one video is more festive and joyful than all the other Vlogmas attempts by others! Thank you Angela!
Never knew I needed an item like this until now.
i feel i needed this today. just amazing. it really turned out so magical and full of christmas spirit.. and it has kind of a classic feel! sure it is big and sparkly, but in a way that doesnt feel "too much" at all! i love it : ) merry christmas
OMG Angela!!! The skirt is everything, everything Christmas. Love the red shoes too.
This is the type of holiday creations I live for. Many years ago I went to a work christmas party and wore a christmas tree print dress from blackmilk, wrapped myself in lights like you used, made a tiara of a wreath and more lights (battery packs stuffed down the back of my dress) and slaughtered a santa hat to glue onto a pair of discount shoes. Oh and I added bells to the shoes because I'm evil to people around me. It was so silly and fun, and I got a lot of comments on it. Your skirt absolutely feels like the top tier version of my hack and slash; but makes me so warm remembering that fun party. Oh, and every time someone asked me how the lights are powered, I'd wink and say "Wireless technology", which as the night wore on, people would believe for a moment because silly.
I laughed out loud at the thumbnail. It's ridiculous AND absolutely stunning! I love this, you did a damn good job!
Another gorgeous and creative project. I've missed your videos and I'm glad to see you back in your sewing room. Wishing you a very merry Christmas.🎄
This must be the sparkliest and most fun of all the Christmas skirts/dresses ever seen on UA-cam ! Absolutely love it😍🎄❤
Amazing. Those shoes were made for this skirt. It is their destiny.
This is dazzling and the ultimate festive skirt!!
I want to know the logistics of sitting down in this skirt!
I think extreme slouching would be encouraged. Mandatory, even.
"Don't" Is I think the way to go... or crisscross applesauce with it accordioned around your waist maybe?
Looks super stunning!! Wanna be careful walking around near dogs though, they might be convinced you're an actual tree! :D
Love this! And WOW your shoes are beautiful.
I love it. Now I know what to do with the extra caged hoop skirt I have. The fact that it’s that light weight and not that hard to do makes it unusual and very pretty.
this is absolutely delightful--what a nice thing to start my sunday with, angela! the skirt is perfection! and i totally envy those dorothy shoes! :) can't wait to see the bodice.
I'm soooo happy this turned out so well because this is amazing and awesome and amazing and sparkly and I love it! Can't wait to see the bodice 💖
This is so amazing and I am absolutely going to try to recreate it next year lol
Eee!!! Ok, thank you SOOO much for making this video and explaining everything so well! I finally feel like I know enough to tackle my very own hoop skirt. (someday)
So beautiful and creative, I'm so impressed🥰
Your video is a wonderful Christmas present! Thanks!
Oh my goodness!! That skirt is amazing! And those shoes!!! They made me gasp with joy!!!
This is beautiful and those shoes. OMG! Those shoes are spectacular.
Damn, Angela created an entire holiday to match her skirt
I loved this and I super loved your red Dorothy shoes! Where did you get them?
This is fantastic! You’re so talented! 👌👌
"I will play dead like an opossum and hope you go away" is such a mood, hilarious as always
This is too cute it can be left out in your living room! Love gold and red for Christmas colors. I hope you have a great Christmas!!
I love it when a Christmas tree has an angel on top! Therefore, this is perfect!
So festive. I love it. I love your chit chat about how you had glitches and how you resolved them, or not. Every one of your videos makes me smile, giggle and laugh. You are like chicken soup for my soul. Looking forward to your next video x
Ive been waiting for this one😁 It doesn't feel like christmas till your yearly costume video but I saw the teaser of this on IG and i've been telling everyone I know about how cool the idea is. can't wait to see it all together with the bodice and worn! Happy Holidays!
It looks absolutely amazing but I'm just wondering, how are you gonna store it throughout the year 🥲 i feel like the decorations would maybe fall off if not carefull enough
Always serious, and a well made ! Brilliant ! Genius ! And very cute ! But courageous, also. I adore your Christmas red shoes, too.... Have a merry Christmas, sweet Angela
Standing Ovations Form this...you cannot sit down.😂 But it's totally worth it. Georgius!. Merry Christmas to all of you
Wow- what a lot of dedicated work - I LOVE IT ! How cute it turned out 🥰🥰
That is fantastic! I love it. 😍😍😍
You do such good work! Merry Christmas.
Amazing. Festive. Adorable. But how do you sit down? Absolutely love it.
This is the best Christmas costume I have ever seen! So ridiculously perfect! Thank you for making and showing this joyful piece of art.
It's wonderful and beautiful! Are you only able to sit on a stool with the skirt or can you manage the sofa? Glad you're back, missed you. Happy Holidays to you and you're family!
This looks bomb and everything that a seven year old me would want
This is Sparkling twinkeling Perfection! Loving it 😍😍💕👍
I love this so much! Your creativity always brings me so much joy! Happy holidays to you!
This was so much fun! I love it!
Looks brilliant. Just have to remember DON’T SIT DOWN.
This could not be a bigger coincidence, because I'm sewing a Christmas Tree Dress right now! So cool :)
This is easily one of my favorite projects I've seen in SO long. Even though I haven't got a lot of ridiculous holiday parties to attend, I might seriously have to take this one on.
I love this, have been wanting to have a collapsible Christmas tree or even a dress mannequin tree but haven’t found one that I liked so was planning on making my own but there was the whole how to do it dilemma, this is perfect.
I cannot imagine how you store all you original designs, Another wonder creation by Angela Clayton, red shoes with bows a nice touch.
You know how there are alternative christmastrees. 3d or 2d Wooden ones, 2d ones that people put on a wall etc. This could be seen as an alternative Christmas tree
Angela you are totally awesome that skirt is absolutely the best I love your videos so much!!!
This is absolutely incredible! I love it so much ✨🎄❤️🎄✨
Absolutely love this!
What a delightful project that turned out amazing!
Angela this is amazing!! I always look forward to your Christmas content, and this was just perfect.
Lovely skirt! I‘m excited for the rest of the outfit.
The skirt turned out great. I love the shoes. Happy Holiday's.
Could you imagine showing up to a company holiday party in this.
Pretty Christmas tree skirt!
Omg I love this!!!! It's perfect for Christmas!
okay the ruby slippers are adorable! and yes I love your tree skirt too! :)
I love this skirt. I can't wait to see the bodice!
It's so pretty!! I love the shoes, so much glitter. You are so talented.
So ingenious! You are very creative, an inspiration to us all
GREAT JOB. I LOVE IT.
CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU MAKE THE BODICE
It turned out great! I'm excited to see the bodice video ^^
Absolutely amazing work :O
Looks super cool! Such a fun, literal tree skirt!! Love it!
GORGEOUS. What a way to bring in the holidays
The ruby slippers gave me a real "Wizard of OZ" vibe. Click your heels three times and say "There's no place like home." (where you can take off the skirt and actually sit down.) It looks great!
That was my question: can you sit down while looking fabulous at that Christmas party!?! Would be worth it even if you couldn’t 🎄🎄🎄
Beautiful skirt! I can't wait to see the matching bodice. This is so cute with those sparkly read shoes. Great idea and splendidly executed!
Even though I have nowhere to wear such a thing, and I can’t see this working at all in a wheelchair, I still want a floor length tree skirt, and I want to pair it with a white floaty bodice- to be the angel on top of the tree.
So impractical, but the picture in my mind is so tempting. Maybe I could just make it, and then put it on my dress form? She already sits in the corner of my lounge room year round. Maybe come Christmas time she can double as a Christmas tree? Then there’s no need for an actual tree
…though we don’t put one up anyway. I would, but I’m disabled and physically can’t, and no one else in my house cares enough to do it, so we don’t put up anything for Christmas, which is a bit depressing. Maybe that’s why I want this tree skirt so badly? I’m deprived of Christmas decorations.
I wonder if you could make a draped tree-skirt, instead of a hoop skirt?
I absolutely adore this skirt. However I have one question: how do you sit down? I know how to sit on a hoop skirt but this one has ornaments and lights on the back, wouldn't they break? It's gorgeous and magical and *chef's kiss* but I do have that question
That's my question, too!
This looks amazing!
This is so magical!!! Your holiday projects are something I always look forward to, and you really brought the christmas vibes today!
Now THIS is what I needed to get in the mood for christmas
That is totally awesome! And it has lights! I am known for my love of Christmas light.
My one question I have is (and this is from my Mom who I showed this too) how on earth do you use the ladies room in that?
My guess is the usual approach with bridal dresses (apparently), which is approach from the front so your hands don't have to strain and you don't have to guess whether you've gotten everything out of the way or not.
What can I say but.........🎊You Rock Girl🎉.......That's an amazing idea and design.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏽
I'm already making a Santa dress why didn't you post this earlier 😭 I WILL make this for Christmas next year- that's a promise
THIS. IS. MIND-BLOWING. Just...absolutely amazing and stunning and functional. I am blown away.
You are so creative- I love your ideas!
I always watch your channel with pleasure .. but there is no translation from English into other languages .. please make a translation in the settings .. why do you have no translation of videos into other languages?
I don't think words have been invented yet to explain how much I LOVE this skirt and video!!
You really make this skirt rock😍
poor girl allergic to pine. it smells so nice. Anybody know if you can still enjoy the smell in the woods, or does that cause issues as well if someone is allergic to pine?
This is the most beautiful festive skirt I have EVER seen 😍😍😍😍😍✨💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨
the majority of this video was just me going "I dunno what that is.... oh yeah that'll work nicely!" "I dunno what that means..... oh hell yeah go off, queen!"
Lol
Who thinks of.this.stuff!!!!
Merry christmas... now how do u sit.in it...
This is spectacular! I love it!
A-MAY-ZING!!!
Wow wow wow!!
Very cool project! Love this and you are a creative genius! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! ❤️
This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Ang... I love your work and you have out done yourslef with this one.. . I salute you 🥰🤩🙂
Lovely....but we also need a demo of how you sit down wearing it; the usual methods won’t work with those ornaments hanging off your backside....are you limited to hiking it over the top of a stool?
