Your hair and you dress is so cute. Btw I hope I can make stuff like yours when I'm your age. I just got my first sewing machine
Good luck!
Gypsum Thanks
You have a great profile picture and that shows great taste.
It will take time but you'll be awesome! Good luck!
Johnny Jacobsen Thanks
Ella medley Do you have an interest in a specific branch of apparel design or are you a bit more like an *in the moment with what looks cool* kind of artist?
I love how you describe colors as baby poop and pepto bismol. They're perfect descriptors. Makes me chuckle.
I'm so excited for the 1630's dress and the russian court gown!!! The fabrics look amazing!!
So excited to see you bring these fabrics to life! And I totally understand your "I should have waited and got that at the next store" buyers remorse. I suffer that all the time. Always end up torn between waiting and buying something better/less expensive...but risk losing out if you go back to your first pick and it's been snatched up.
I was hoping you were doing the 1900's Russian gown with the tulip sleeves, *sigh* maybe one day. Still very excited!
The fabrics are so pretty, can't wait to see what you create!
I can't wait to see the 1920's dress! I'm in *love* with the 1920's, and judging by all the other things you create, i know it will be wonderful. I can't wait to see it, again!
I could watch your videos for hours!
That pink brocade fabric at the end I bought some of that but in a dark blue. It is quite pretty. 😀
I would love to see maybe a Downton Abbey style dress. I love the show and the dresses are just beautiful!
So many beautiful fabrics - they're stunning!
I LOVE these fabric hauls. Beautiful, unique fabrics make me so happy ❤️❤️
You do find the most wonderful fabrics WOW!!!
I fell in love with that black-red-gold brocade, it's gorgeous, and I can't wait to see it incorporated in a dress!
I do hope to see something more modern sometimes, though. As much as I love period clothing, it's a bit less viable for everyday wear, and I love learning from your videos :)
Keep up the good work!
Your hair colour now is so pretty!
I am very glad you are back Angela. I've been looking forward to a new video since your last one. I've watched all your others on repeat. lol. keep up the great work😆
You look absolutely beautiful in this video! I love your hair colour and your makeup is stunning! A whole host of beautiful fabrics too!x
Thank you so much!
The first brocade you purchased would make a beautiful vest.
Thanks for this video! It is so fun to see your purchases and plans!
So glad you are back. I can't wait for you to get started and upload the videos! Your biggest fan from Florida.
Beautiful! All of the pinks you chose are just lovely. I’m sure you will come up with nice ideas for them. Thank you for tips to the garment district as I’m just making the transition from looking for deals online.
That grey stripped would work well for a bustle skirt paired with a cream colored blouse, very school marm-ish or shop keeper.
I love it all, how I wish I could go fabric shopping with you or go to the same stores you go to! Can't wait to see the outfits you design! :)
So I just watched your most recent fabric haul and now I'm watching this. And I want to say. I love them. And if you love doing them then you should 😄 I know you said in the most recent haul they weren't your most popular video but I really enjoy them so I wanted to tell you
I loved watching your fabric finds video. I'm looking forward to see your creations
I love that emerald green 20's dress you are planning. Also that first iridescent one for the bustle dress. That will look great draped and ruched. For the medieval kirtle, I don't think they would have that color dye in that period.
First time I have seen one of your videos. Loved it so much I have subscribed!
That was really informative thankyou. I absolutely loath shopping for fabric. as soon as I enter a fabric shop I usually turn round and walk back out again. I find them so intimidating. as for haggling , here in the uk the price you see is the price you pay, and the fabric isn't always priced, and I'm too embarrassed to ask because I think if you have to ask then you can't afford it. and so I'm stuck making little bags etc. I think your very brave. and very beautiful , I love your hair and I'd love to see a video of how you style it.
I was just watching your video on the skirt for the Christmas dress!!! I love your videos. that inspire me
Thank you so much for including the reference photos in the description!
Nice to see you again. I see you went shopping. Hope all your projects turn out great. Later
Great haul! Looking forward to seeing g the purple with gold herringbone project. 👍🏼
Just a suggestion but the maroon brocade is gorgeous, it looks like renaissance, you could go a different route and make pillows or a table runner for Thanksgiving or a valance in your room. God Bless
Perhaps you could use the pink as an under layer with filmy transparent layers over it to create warmth and interesting color effects.
I love that copper color fabric
Just in case if any of you (like me) are planning a fabric haul of your own...

The light pink/gold fabric is called lamé, the two toned ones changeant, you are so lucky to find them, they aren't very common and very pricey usually!
I don't think it is - I've used lame before, and it has a very different weave and weight. I've never heard the term changeant before, that's interesting! Does it apply to any two tone shifting fabric or just a specific type? In the garment district that effect is common...but usually in garish performance wear fabric, or very expensive silks.
Both lamé and changeant are special weaving techniques, so weight and such don't aply to them :) Lamé is created when a third, metalic thread gets weaved into the fabric, creating the effect. Changeant is kind of weave where two differently coloured threads are combined to make one fabric and the colour usually shifts with the movement of the fabric. It's most commonly used for silk, satin, duchess or high end fabrics, since it is rather difficult to make. But it works with any kind of material, really. I even have a changeant velvet at home, which is probably one of the most gorgeous things you can find!
Sometimes the price of the beads are due to the fact that they can be dry cleaned or not. I don't know if the less expensive choice is chemically safe or not. The only way to test it is to drop it into a container of solution to see if it melts. If your not going to clean it, it's beside the point, but incase you want to keep a project it's good to know. I found out when I made my wedding dress, and was extremely happy that my accidental choice was good, as I had finished my dress.
I'd love to see a hair tutorial from you, I love those curls!!
Wow $6-8 a yard for those nice fabrics?! A patterned cotton is $9 where I live.
Neon Unicorn you have to go to a fabric warehouse/Fabric wholesale to find prices like that
I know. Too bad There are done in my area.
Neon Unicorn in my town there isnt even a single shop with fabrics...This why i often bye from Michaels online.
At least on camera, the orange brocade reads more peach. I think it's soft enough that it will work well on you.
I have never bought fabric in bulk before but i have an amazon account now!
Have you ever seen the historically accurate Disney princesses? That last fabric would be great for a Rapunzel inspired dress from the early 1800s or something.
I love your fabric hauls!!!! I've been to bead world in NY when I went on a trip with my class and they are wildly over priced!!!!!!!!!! I could get more than half for the price on Etsy. and LOVE the mesh from JoAnns!!!! They had some at my joanns and I literally freaked out and practically bought the whole thing. It's so hard to come across of!!!! Especially nude mesh like that! Do you ever buy from Etsy? If so do you have any favorite shops?
pepto bismoly and baby poopish haha I love it
Love the fabric's cannot wait to see what you make. What do you do with your costumes? How do you store them? Love your work. later. Happy New Year.
You purchased some really beautiful fabrics :) tfs
Are you interested in ever doing sixties or seventies style clothes? If so it would be real fun to see! :)
Maybe for the sixties, but not especially. I feel like the 1950's style flatters me a lot better so if I were to make historically inspired clothing for everyday wear that's what I'd lean towards!
@@AngelaClaytonCostumery You remind me of one those pinup models in the 1950's, so that is not too surprising.
Can you film how you make the hat and patterns 😍 the fabrics are amazing ❤
I love your make-up in this video! =)
I am so inspired by you, what was your first costume that really worked out, and what do you think is a good starting project. (I've been sewing regularly for a few years)
Orange is my least favorite, too, but sometimes, it just works! :-)
I think it's because it pairs so well with everything! It looks great with gold and warm tones, and contrasts so much with deeper blues and purple. But you could not pay me to have a room painted orange haha
Hello Angela! I loved all of the fabrics that you chose, i'm so envious. Are you planning to apply to/attend a college soon?
love your videos
it can be my phone but, the audio sounds a bit strange. like the bass isn't there at some points
Anything can become a reason hahaha
Hey, Angela. Happy new year! So I'm starting work on a 1920s shift dress and I was wondering if you had any tips for hand beading on satin. I'm working with a black crepe back, but I'm using the inside as the right side, and my beads are teeny black ab tube beads(also there will be sequins involved, of course.). I'm not very experienced with beading, so anything would help!(:
Hi, Angela! I was wondering what tips you might have for someone just starting to make dresses? I really like the historical type, and I'd love to make them, though I have no experience with it. What types of fabric/tools would I need to start? What would be the best era to start in?
Hi Angela, quick question.
I notice that every time you go to the fabric district you buy quite a huge amount of fabric- so how do you carry it around all day while making the rest of your purchases? Do you bring empty canvas bags to store them in, or do you use an empty rolling suitcase to slowly fill up. Also, do you mainly pay cash or with credit cards (if the stores have them available?) when shopping or if merchants are more willing to give you better deals if you negotiate/pay in cash.
I was planning a trip up to the garment district next month to stock up on materials for quite a few projects wanted to prepare best I could.
Love the fabrics but the audio is so echo-y.
The purple and embroidery one can make Chinese traditional cloth and dress
I have a couple requests, they might be outside of what you're willing to do, but I figure I'll ask! I'd LOVE to see a Cinderella transformation gown (changes from her peasant dress to her ball gown) like for a stage production. I've seen other videos and have somewhat of an idea what's going on, but those dresses don't become a real big, fluffy ball gown without hoops (for dancing purposes), which is what I'd want to see happen. I've seen you make some voluminous skirts, so maybe there's a way to get all that volume compressed and then it really poofs out during the transformation?
Other than that, I'd love it if you tried making a Ballroom or Latin dance competition costume! Again, might be a bit out there, but you might enjoy stepping out and trying something way different :)
I'm so jealous of the fabric prices you pay :O In Munich i'm paying at least threefold as much :(
And 1m broquade is easily 20-40€ here :'(
Is your hairstyle pin curls? A tutorial would be amazing! Your curls are perfect.
Thanks! No - I stink at pin curling. This was done with 1" foam rollers that I slept in. Rolled over freshly washed almost dry hair, super easy!
Angela Clayton
I do foam rollers, too. Your hair is a good length for that Rita Hayworth look. May I ask how many you use?
suzylovesmambo Rag curls are great too
I use 16, but sometimes I run a little short, I need to buy another package one of these days!
I don't get as much definition with rag curls, but they are so much more comfortable to sleep in. I use them a couple times a week, where foam rollers are for special occasions and videos.
Is that a Tracy Lewis print I see in the background??
Why hasn't she been posting? I love her videos and the last time she posted was over a month ago!
what do you use to make the fabric bolts and do you know how to create a shoulder pad that has a 90 degree corner
I'd love to know what that gold pin(?) at your collar is, it looks like a hercules beetle or something, whatever it is it's gorgeous!
I don't think it's anything specific, but I'm not too familiar with bugs! This is the listing; www.ebay.com/itm/371645556850?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Angela Clayton Ooooh! Thank you so much! It's definitely a hercules beetle, I don't know much about insects either but it's one of the few I do know haha
Good job
I wish i had money to buy fancy fabrics! T___T But as a jobless thirty-something life gets in the way :P
You are such an inspiring person! I have two questions for you I hope you have some time to answer, how do you determine how much fabric you are going to buy for future projects, is there a min length that you buy and how did you start with making your own patterns or do you use pre-made patterns. Do you have any tips about these two topics?
A general rule for me is: 1 yard for bodice, 1 yard for sleeves, 3 yards for skirt (if plain, 60" wide fabric) - or 2 yards for each panel of the skirt, which usually require three. But it varies a lot by design - if something has a train, ruffles, or draping that eats up a lot of material. I think it would be hard to make a video about it because a lot of it comes down to intuition of having made enough things to just know. Sorry if that isn't very helpful! I'll buy as little as a yard of fabric for detail work or because I think it's pretty, but usually a complete project of mine requires a minimum of 5 yards of fabric.
I mostly use my own patterns or patterns from books (I have a blog post about those). I bought a dress form and started draping on it - there wasn't much more to it than that :)
This is really helpful for me thank you so much! I'll go take a look at your blogpost for the patterns and how that works.
You really helped me a lot ^_^
The pink floral brocade instantly reminded me of the Edwardian opera coats in the Kyoto Costume Institute fashion book. It's absolutely stunning. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/9b/50/1c/9b501cbd802f06e3264d0fa1a5689e02.jpg . But so is everything that you bought really. It will be interesting to see these projects into realization.
Any tips on workings with silk
I love your videos, even if the sound quality hurts my ears a lot. Maybe move closer to the camera?
Oh, and the chevron-patterned fabric looks so cool. In my head, it already became another cycling costume..
@Angela Clayton,
I sketched a dress with feathers. How type of feathers should I use (big ones or small)? Joanne has small in a bag but not sure how to apply it.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Sara Suen
thanks
I'll try to apply that technique
I love your channel and this may seem a little random but you mention making 18th century stays at some point and I have been meaning to ask: Do you have any tips on fitting stays patterns? I have been trying to make some for quite some time and can never find a pattern that fits the way I want.
My last two attempts fit horribly, which is the only reason I plan on making another - so I'm not the best person to ask!
Haha Thanks. It must be the negative ease. Good luck with the next one.
if you have not used those weird colored fabrics, can I have those
XD I think "Mustard" is better than "Baby poop-ish"
I call it saffron.
AND NEXT 😄😄
How do you make the money to buy thw fabrics?
Have you gone into M&J Trimmings or Tinsel Trading while in NYC?
I've been to M&J Trimming a few times, but I find their stuff really expensive so I only go there when all the other trim shops fail me. I've never even heard of Tinsel Trading, it looks neat but it's pretty far from the other shops I go to.
Tinsel Trading is expensive but man there is nothing like their vintage metallic threads, millinery flowers and sequins. So much inspiration. They have incredible metal fabrics from early 20th century that are mind blowing. When I was there one time it must have been a designer in there with the owner Marcia looking at some of that antique metal fabrics and he was clearly planning a special high-end dress. it was fascinating to listen to their conversation. Marcia's grandfather owned the store and imported all these products and stored them in the basement of the original shop. Over the years people have brought her collections they find in their basements and shops so she has grown the collection. The packages are original- it is so incredible to imagine the products coming by boat from France to adorn fancy dresses and hats in 1900's I recommend you find your way there just for inspiration if nothing else.
Have you ever thought of making a 1400s male suit kinda thing?
Sorry, I don't really have the biggest fashion vocabulary x)
I've made a menswear inspired cotehardie and a beaded doublet/suit that may fit that description. Photos and write ups of them are on my blog :)
Oh cool, Ill check it out
All those fabric is very pretty. I love your pin strip dress you wearing . Did you made that too? Lol do you ever make for your mom or aunt too ? If you go to Facebook "The Storybook of Dreams and Beauty. They show a 1800's dress and hats. I thought about you. Maybe go check it out. I would love to adopt you as my baby sister or my daughter. Lol hope to see you soon, pls pls
I'll have to check it out! I find it's not very cost effective to make my own clothing (or very exciting), so I usually stick to costumes. In this video I'm wearing a collared blouse and sweatshirt from H&M. :)
💪👍👍
Pepto bismol hhahahhahaha
كيفك ياحلوة
Omg you spent sooo much on those embellishments! Very overpriced
