Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have more exciting plans than watching this video. But also that you take the time to watch this video. And if you missed it, I have a related video on making a cute little heart shaped hat to go with this dress : th-cam.com/video/s3a47DKbDMU/w-d-xo.html !
Watching this video = an excellent Valentine's Day plan (it was yesterday here in Australia). I bought the pink and red version of this fabric when I was in LA last week!
I absolutely love this dress! It looks so lovely on you. I wish it was much simpler to make as just beginning to sew again. I'd really like to wear 50s inspired dresses of my youth. Ironic that I like this style in my late 60s as my waist left me 10+ years ago. Thank you for sharing.
I've found that making my own clothes has actually helped me to be more at peace with my body. Having clothes that fit well is really good for how I view myself, and sewing also helps my mental health.
@@maudline exactly! It reminds me of something Zack Pinsent said once on Instagram, talking about custom clothing. "There is no such thing as sizes, only you-sized". That's helped me ignore the labels on sizes and only worry about fit.
Fiance and I definitely like animals more than people. Mostly because the people that are around us have different interest than us. to say it as politely as i can ;)
This dress is amazing and I feel like noone but Angela can pull off that "riding the line between an eyesore and a showstopper like a rodeo" aesthetic with quite such glorious effects.
That power bar is epic. I need one, because I am constantly unplugging & replugging things all the time! Beautiful dress, so cute. Weird how it looks so different close up than from a distance. In your modeling footage, the stripes all blend to make it look grey.
"There is love in my heart, just mostly directed towards my dog" ....I identify strongly with this statement. I lost my boy,Bear in January, on our way to the veterinarian I told my husband that I loved my dog more than I loved him...he said "I know honey and I'm ok with it, I had to be to marry you " He's definitely a keeper ❤
Angela in an age of video trolls, please know that you are loved and valued. Thank you so much for all your tutorials. You are truly gifted and talented x
I really like your new hair color! It looks beautiful on you. Also, I want to say that you have a very beautiful shape and hope you feel better about your looks soon (I know it's a process).
I just enjoy watching you sew, though your historical garments are what I originally subscribed for. I’m particularly loving your self drafted patterns like this one. I completely understand about not loving your body, as mine is a source of negative feelings. Those feelings have lead me to learning to sew so I can create comfortable clothes I actually WANT to wear. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for your wonderful talent. Love, light and blessings to you and yours.
Beautiful dress! You have a fantastic eye. Very clever. My only other thought was that your body needs to be clothed whether you're happy with it or not. Why not use it to demonstrate that you can fit "problem" areas with success? That is a skill many of those "Runway" designers lack!
I love your videos, Angela, and your sense of humour always makes me laugh. Sadly I'm too old to pull off clothes like the ones you make, I would never have the confidence to wear them, but I love seeing your ideas, your process and the finished item.
I was at this punk concert filled with guys with spikes and leather jackets and then i saw this lady in her 70s with a poodle skirt and a cute 50s esq cardigan and i will never forget how confident she looked she was the most bad ass person in the room! She inspired me so much! Sometimes being that person to inspire others is worth being a little uncomfortable at first. i try to remind myself often of a quote my therapist told me. "We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can't have both. Not at the same time"
In UK we have a saying - beggar you Do, beggar you don't. You cannot please everyone so please yourself. Make it dress and wear it with pride......you are never too old. Live your life. All said with love xx
If anyone can make quality vintage garments from viscera, it's Angela Clayton. I love historical costumes, but if you wanted to venture out, I'm here for that as well.
Aw don't worry Angela, we know you're a human being with thoughts and feelings. You never get me down. I like to hear how you're doing. Be well and don't fret!
Angela, I love watching your creativity and talent! I can only sew straight seams, lol, so I am mesmerized by your abilities. Please do not speak Iill of yourself or body shame! You are charming, delightfully funny (laughed when the call came in and you don’t have a car /need insurance!), and beautiful. Your family must be very proud of you! Godspeed with your future endeavors.
Happy Valentine's Day from Australia. Thank you for what you said about your body and that had stopped making everyday dresses for yourself because you were feeling happy about it. I am so please that you are feeling better about yourself, I understand where you are coming from and am pleased that someone else said it out loud about themselves. I love the love heart hat with this outfit!
I absolutely, love your hair style,..! Happy Valentines day,...!! I went to Jo Anns, last week and found some fabric that really slapped me, silly across the face, so I purchased some what over 10 yards of it,..! Not cut all at one time, but that s okay, so long as I have it, that s what counts, now I have to find a place to store it, today and tomorrow. I actually watched a CD Couture video on how to make something like I plan on doing, this helped me out, quite a bit, as far as ideas go. Oh and my puppy dog, just turned 1 year old, he was actually born on Valentines day,..! A day to remember,.!
How gorgeous is that dress. Have you ever sold one of your creations? Do you have labels with your brand name sewn on the inside? You are young and beautiful. If you are lucky to have healthy body and all body functions work, be happy with your body that takes you through your journey. Keep sewing, you are an inspiration. Just listening to your commentary teaches me about sewing.
Yes! YT has not been putting you on my home page. I’ve been missing your vids and went looking for any new posts from you. This was very much needed. 🖤
OMG GIRL! I wish I was as talented as you. That dress turned out amazing and it looks stunning on you! And don't ever doubt your body. Us women always do, but we all need to realize that no matter what body type or size we are, we are all beautiful, especially you! You honestly made me a little jealous on how you could pull off looking like a 1950's woman. STUNNING😉! Keep doing what you enjoy and don't be afraid on having your favorite dessert every once in awhile😊.
I watch a lot of sewist videos and you seriously have e the clearest and most consistently beautiful shots of sewing! Your investment in proper equipment really shows! Thanks for another amazing video in both content and form!
Second time watching . I think this dress would look fabulous in lots more colours like red and white lilac and white and so on definitely high up on my favourite list
I love your videos and commentary!! Youre fun to watch and love the honesty of your projects! I understand you may not feel happy with your body right now..me either.. but we are beautiful women and you are totally rocking your look and fabulous new hair color and cut!!! You are adorable!!
Hi Angela! Ive been following your channel for about a year now and I just want to say thank you and i really enjoy your videos. Im new to sewing with a machine and making clothing. Sleeves and necklines are my biggest struggle so far. Thanks to your videos I learned about using twill tape and the purpose of facings! Your channel inspires me to keep trying. Cant wait to see what you make next.
Angela, Very pretty hair and color. Beautiful dress, love the fabrics!!!! I really love the style of this dress and I so enjoy what you have been making. When you go back to making period pieces I will enjoy watching that, as well.
Yay! What a wonderful surprise, I love seeing the notification that there is a new video by you! Have a great Valentine's day! Okay going to actually watch the video now 😊😂
Angela, lovely video as always, please do not worry about your body changing , I am sure this is very temporary, you look really pretty , people like you for what you do , and for being such a lovely person , go Angela!
You and your amazing creation are beautiful. I know you said you didn't quite like how broad you made the shoulders but in my opinion it really accentuated that gorgeous flit and flare skirt. I love that silhouette type and wish I could understand pattern drafting well enough to create that pattern for my body type. I completely understand the feeling of not quite liking our bodies. Those moments get me sometimes too. You have an amazing skill that lets you tailor what you wear to suit your style and preferences so keep flaunting all your amazing creations. Just remember it's you that makes the garment look great, not the other way around.
Angela, Happy Valentine's Day. ♥️ You know, the dress is lovely. But, I have to say I also really admire and enjoy your sketches. Your talents are so diverse. Thank you for making me smile so much.
You look absolutely gorgeous in it. I love watching you sew, but then I love seeing you on material trips, antiquing or anything at all. You are perfect just the way you are.
That dress is so stunning!! It stole my breath two times, when the top first appear and the finish product. I'm in love, like really in love. It make me wanna be your neighbor and have that top with out the sleeves and pair with a black high pencil skirt . A girl can dream.
This was a very nice video showcasing steps as always (and I adore your fabric choices), but I very much appreciated the last part about avoiding sewing for your body. I am dealing with this same issue. You look so lovely that it's inspired me to pick up a dress pattern again for myself. Thank you for putting this content out there!
I think this dress, and you, are just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us. My mother sewed a lot. She didn't really do fitted garments, but she could whip us out a quick wardrobe for a week at camp or sweet simple Easter dresses. Sewing is an amazing art.
That outfit is extremely cute. I think I would have given the apron a more pinched look at the waist, but it is still very flattering. Nice vision for those two fabrics. You did well.
Fabulous creation! Well done, and glad you're feeling that beautifully inspired. Black hearts are just like black roses: underrated, elegant, and just right for just the right people.
You look amazing in this dress! Also, I love the hair color. You shouldn't be self-conscious about your body, your beautiful. You always look great in your creations. Happy Belated Valentine's Day
Man ive been trying to sew my ripped couch and my needle broke halfway thru last night. I gave up and will probably not be worked on for another week. Seeing someone else sew is a better use of my time.
I LOVE the trimming you used!!!! I think it would have looked totally awesome in a tight pencil style skirt, but that is my preference. It is suck CUTE fabric. I would use both proudly. Awesome heart dress. I prefer black heart and well roses to.
I love how your hair added a pop of red to this Valentine's Day outfit. It reminded me of the old film trick of having one person or item be colored in a black and white movie in order to symbolize life and hope in a dark world.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have more exciting plans than watching this video. But also that you take the time to watch this video. And if you missed it, I have a related video on making a cute little heart shaped hat to go with this dress : th-cam.com/video/s3a47DKbDMU/w-d-xo.html !
Literally this video made my day
Well it was yesterday (Australia) and no. I watched Picard with my cat's and slowly melted because it's hot. But yay video!
Watching this video = an excellent Valentine's Day plan (it was yesterday here in Australia). I bought the pink and red version of this fabric when I was in LA last week!

Thank you for sharing.
I've found that making my own clothes has actually helped me to be more at peace with my body. Having clothes that fit well is really good for how I view myself, and sewing also helps my mental health.
Not to mention the uniqueness of the clothes - made by you, for you, and using fabrics you like more. Keep it up!
Agree! I don’t feel so caught up with sizes since I can drape and alter to my body and size immediately
@@maudline exactly! It reminds me of something Zack Pinsent said once on Instagram, talking about custom clothing. "There is no such thing as sizes, only you-sized". That's helped me ignore the labels on sizes and only worry about fit.
That's true, not everything from the high street fits all bodies or you just want something in particular you can't find.
That's awesome! I feel the same, I mean it's not about the size/shape of other people, it's about *you* as an individual.
This dress is so pretty, like a fluffy Dalmatian puppy.
That is a feeling " I do have love in my heart but its mostly directed to my dog. " liking dogs more than people as I do. I felt that in my soul
Fiance and I definitely like animals more than people. Mostly because the people that are around us have different interest than us. to say it as politely as i can ;)
Understand fully since my dogs are the best "people" I know.
I feel this way about my cats, and I'm sure I well feel that way about any future dog
This dress is amazing and I feel like noone but Angela can pull off that "riding the line between an eyesore and a showstopper like a rodeo" aesthetic with quite such glorious effects.
When cutting from the heart of an elk, it's important to go Across the grain so your sleeves will be tender.
That power bar is epic. I need one, because I am constantly unplugging & replugging things all the time! Beautiful dress, so cute. Weird how it looks so different close up than from a distance. In your modeling footage, the stripes all blend to make it look grey.
It's weird how much joy that power bar has brought to my life lol! Thank you! Yes it definitely changed a bit depending on distance.
Of COURSE more lace and ruffles. That's literally the reason why I learnt sewing! (but to each their own ofc)))
Industrial sewing machines are so satisfying to watch because it is on a flat table
"There is love in my heart, just mostly directed towards my dog" ....I identify strongly with this statement.
I lost my boy,Bear in January, on our way to the veterinarian I told my husband that I loved my dog more than I loved him...he said "I know honey and I'm ok with it, I had to be to marry you " He's definitely a keeper ❤
Angela in an age of video trolls, please know that you are loved and valued. Thank you so much for all your tutorials. You are truly gifted and talented x
I really like your new hair color! It looks beautiful on you. Also, I want to say that you have a very beautiful shape and hope you feel better about your looks soon (I know it's a process).
Mid century fashion is my favorite!

The dress turned out very nice - you have reason to be proud and it looks beautiful on you.
Beautiful dress! You have a fantastic eye. Very clever. My only other thought was that your body needs to be clothed whether you're happy with it or not. Why not use it to demonstrate that you can fit "problem" areas with success? That is a skill many of those "Runway" designers lack!
The dress is just too cute and the spectator shoes are perfect.
I love your videos, Angela, and your sense of humour always makes me laugh. Sadly I'm too old to pull off clothes like the ones you make, I would never have the confidence to wear them, but I love seeing your ideas, your process and the finished item.
Pshhhh you're never too old to wear things that make you hapy
I was at this punk concert filled with guys with spikes and leather jackets and then i saw this lady in her 70s with a poodle skirt and a cute 50s esq cardigan and i will never forget how confident she looked she was the most bad ass person in the room!

There’s no such thing as “too old”
You’re not too old! Have you seen Baddy Winkle’s Instagram? She’s a fashion icon at 91
In UK we have a saying - beggar you Do, beggar you don't. You cannot please everyone so please yourself. Make it dress and wear it with pride......you are never too old. Live your life. All said with love xx
I've never heard anything so relatable. "I do have love in my heart...it's mostly directed towards my dog".
If anyone can make quality vintage garments from viscera, it's Angela Clayton. I love historical costumes, but if you wanted to venture out, I'm here for that as well.
I love this dress! Your red hair against the black and white of the dress is perfection.
Aw don't worry Angela, we know you're a human being with thoughts and feelings. You never get me down. I like to hear how you're doing. Be well and don't fret!
Thumbs up for the new hair do and cheeky humor 👌
Angela, I love watching your creativity and talent! I can only sew straight seams, lol, so I am mesmerized by your abilities. Please do not speak Iill of yourself or body shame!

Giving me some Queen of Hearts vibes, looks amazing!

Love your Light Fury & Night Fury Pops. I adore Toothless..
You're hair is BEAUTIFUL. LOVE IT. GOODNESS. ♥️😍
Beautiful dress. Beautiful and seamless construction, no pun intended
Dear Ms. Clayton, Thank you for showing the trimming (debulking) of the seam allowances.
OMG GIRL! I wish I was as talented as you. That dress turned out amazing and it looks stunning on you! And don't ever doubt your body.

I think this is my favorite thing I have ever watched you make. It is so great. And looks perfect on you!
much love,
amy
This project was adorable. The bib and apron effect was perfect and looked like it was much more complicated to make than you showed it to be.
I love the lambs. The dress is so nice. Love the polish . Great design.
A fabulous dress, you look beautiful in this great dress. Thanks for sharing your design and sewing construction talents.
Second time watching . I think this dress would look fabulous in lots more colours like red and white lilac and white and so on definitely high up on my favourite list

Fantastic dress and you look gorgeous in it. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
I love your choices of fabric. Look forward to seeing your projects.
You sound so bubbly in this video - it’s contagious!
I think this dress, and you, are just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us. My mother sewed a lot. She didn't really do fitted garments, but she could whip us out a quick wardrobe for a week at camp or sweet simple Easter dresses. Sewing is an amazing art.
I just wanted to say I love your videos and I love watching them while I sew I'm making my first 50s dress and I can't wait for the results!!
So good! I love the black and white color palette. I loved your 1930s style heart dresses from last year too!!
Also the project turned out gorgeous
That outfit is extremely cute. I think I would have given the apron a more pinched look at the waist, but it is still very flattering. Nice vision for those two fabrics. You did well.
The dress is super cute and you look stunning in it! Great video, Angela!
What a stunning dress, a true original. I am hooked on all of your vids, I don’t see but I really enjoy the process.
I so 😍 your work and your so beautiful in your makes
Enjoyed this project. Made me inspired to sew a dress for myself
Fabulous creation! Well done, and glad you're feeling that beautifully inspired. Black hearts are just like black roses: underrated, elegant, and just right for just the right people.

Beautiful dress! And I like the whimsical!!
Awesome cruella vibes with the colors 😍
I really like the fabric you picked! I tend to pick “drab” earth tones.. I love your not afraid to use something exciting!
I like your videos very much. And in this video you give such a positive impression. And I like the dress. It looks great on you.
The volume on that dress was amazing! I cant wait to download the pattern!
WhiteRaven she posts the patterns?
@@cutiedoggy475 yes! on patreon!
I love this dress it's so whimsical in a very clean crisp kind of way. Love your videos!
The dress is super cute and you look lovely in it!!
What a lovely unique dress.
Man ive been trying to sew my ripped couch and my needle broke halfway thru last night. I gave up and will probably not be worked on for another week. Seeing someone else sew is a better use of my time.
I have that Spring rabbit fabric. I made a tablecloth with it. I love this dress!
I love the choice of fabric for this project!
I LOVE the trimming you used!!!! I think it would have looked totally awesome in a tight pencil style skirt, but that is my preference. It is suck CUTE fabric. I would use both proudly. Awesome heart dress. I prefer black heart and well roses to.
I love how your hair added a pop of red to this Valentine's Day outfit. It reminded me of the old film trick of having one person or item be colored in a black and white movie in order to symbolize life and hope in a dark world.
It's so satisfying when every single seam is properly finished. I like watching you because you love French seams as much as I do!
the dress looks stunning and you look great in it.
