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!
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
Was I the only one that got scared when it cut from her painting with watercolor to laying the fabric over the painting.
Same
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!
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
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!
I love the term ”walking stitches” 💞 so looking forward seeing the rest of this project!
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!
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 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 TH-cam rabbit hole and I am
*LIVING* for this content
Watching this amazing process is *EVERYTHING*
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 could watch you make ruffles all day. So satisfying to see the finished product
Cant wait to see the finished project! You go Angela
Awesome! You have such patience with detail. A joy to watch the sewing of someone else who loves ruffles.
I'm just really fascinated by your ever-changing nail colour throughout these clips, it really shows how long this took.
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.
I love your third nail polish choice in this video. I love that you switch it out so often.
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
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.
You are so dedicated to your craft and it fucken SHOWS! You’re absolutely marvellous and I love watching you create beautiful things.
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..
Love the beautiful peach colour you chose! Furthermore, the 18th century is one of my favourite fashion periods!
Girlfriend you’re much more patient than I! I can’t even imagine hand sewing those ruffles!
PS the dress is breathtakingly inspirational. The colour is delicate and charmingly feminine. Thank you for sharing
Its amazing how much research and work you put into this 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.
This dress is insane!!! Holy crap...that was a lot of hand work. Great job...on to part two.
It's like a fairy tale - a beautiful dream. Yummy colors. Can't wait to see the hat!
I would love a video all about various trims just the trim because it all looks so pretty
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 TH-cam.
Oh my gosh! I am so excited to see how this project turns out! The "robe a la francaise" are my favourite historical garments!
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.
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 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
Thanks for the wonderful sewing inspiration. I love historic fashions. I am a doll artist and these are some brilliant inspirations.
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 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!!!!
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?
This absolutely gorgeous and you did such a great job describing how to create the ruffles.
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
Angela, I am looking forward to the final dress, beautiful beginning.
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 :)
This is a serious commitment and staggeringly impressive.
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.
J'adore les Robes aux Françaises! I'm excited to see how it comes along! The colours you chose were really lovely~!
So gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished garment!
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!
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 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.
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.
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
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’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 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! 💖
LOVE the smocked ruffles. Oh and the unintentional mark transfer? I feel your pain. The struggle is real.
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!!!
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!
It looks amazing! Goodness gracious though, that trim probably took more time than I usually spend on an entire project.
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.

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!!
THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!! So excited for this project!
This looks impeccable! I love the sculpted effect of the trim, and the delicate color.
This is crazy intricate but looks amazing!
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🇧🇦🇧🇦
Angela, you are just so talented. I wish I could design and sew like that. 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!
I really love this crumpled trim the dress is going to be awesome.
Those ruffles are awesome. Fiddly but simple. 👍💖
Great project Angela, amazing how much goes into all the ruffles.
Even though I won't be making anything this extravagant myself, I love watching your videos while I work on my more modern simpler garments so I feel like I have a sewing buddy haha! The longer the videos the better :)
You explaining it very clear and make it easy. Thanks 😊
I can’t wait to see the finished dress!
Beautiful! Those ruffles are amazing. Also your water color is very good and was interesting to watch.
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.
Its amazing you can not only draw it, but
then create it!
It’s really cute how you say « robe à la française » !! As a french person I can say that you’re french accent is really cute ! ❤️
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.
Amazing Angela! Your pressed ruffles are spot on!
I love it. Here in Germany we have not got so fantastic pattern 😭. I love your Videos!
Is there a way we can help?
You'll soon be ready for some Dangerous Liaisons. Fabulous. Thanks for all the hard work.
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 ;)
Beautiful ruffles and color, looking forward to seeing the rest of the dress come together. Well done, as always!
those ruffles are absolutely incredible, they must have taken forever!
I love how your ruffles turned out
That's a wonderful ruffle treatment! Thanks for sharing it!
The amount of thought and work you've put into this is phenomenal!!!
I have a feeling this is going to absolutely spectacular when the whole outfit is put together!
oh my gosh, what a marvellous tutorial - I've been thinking about making one for a little while and this is a huge inspiration! although i did notice that your nails changed throughout so i'm guessing it takes a long time to make, not something you want to rush indeed :)
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.
Super excited to see the rest of this outfit!
Girl you have discipline. Kudos to you!
