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 ;)
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.
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.
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!
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).
"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 ❤
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
Can't wait to try this pattern. My daughter and niece are planning a 50's party for July, and both fell in love with this dress. It's also an opportunity for me to practice doing French seams. Can't wait.
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!
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.
It is always a treat to see a video of yours in my feed! I think it looks adorable! The contrasting fabric is so eye appealing! Also, no matter what age you are as a woman, you always find flaws in your body. Accepting them is hard to do when we see all these digitally altered photos of "perfection." You are beautiful as you are in a body that gives you life and the ability to do the things you love.
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.
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.
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. 🖤
I absolutely love this dress, and all of your work to be honest. Your videos are wonderful company while knitting or sewing, and inspire me to start bringing mid-century fashion into my daily wardrobe! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day and many more wonderful days afterwards
Love, love,love this design! The black and white fabric is so adorable. I could see any color belt and even a small ribbon colored bow at the neck. Excellent job. And I love your hair
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!!
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.
I loved this. Its so noticable how positive your additude is campared to the last couple of videos and that makes me really happy. Im so happy you seem to be feeling better or at least having found a bit of joy in sewing mid-21st century garments and im just very happy for you!
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
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
When cutting from the heart of an elk, it's important to go Across the grain so your sleeves will be tender.

The dress turned out very nice - you have reason to be proud and it looks beautiful on you.

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.
Mid century fashion is my favorite!
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 think this is my favorite thing I have ever watched you make. It is so great. And looks perfect on you!
much love,

Pshhhh you're never too old to wear things that make you hapy

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

Giving me some Queen of Hearts vibes, looks amazing!
The dress is just too cute and the spectator shoes are perfect.
I love this dress! Your red hair against the black and white of the dress is perfection.
I had a tailors’ board for about three years and finally got round to putting it together recently
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.
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.

Beautiful dress. Beautiful and seamless construction, no pun intended

I love how this dress came out. It looks very nice on you.
Very pretty. Love the contrast of the stripes and the hearts. Also love the black hearts.
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 heart fabric is so adorable
A fabulous dress, you look beautiful in this great dress. Thanks for sharing your design and sewing construction talents.
The volume on that dress was amazing! I cant wait to download the pattern!
WhiteRaven she posts the patterns?
@@cutiedoggy475 yes! on patreon!
Brilliant The dress looks dramatic and looks good on you
I love the two fabrics together.
This looks absolutely lovely on you Angela...It's just adorable
I really like the fabric you picked! I tend to pick “drab” earth tones.. I love your not afraid to use something exciting!
I've never heard anything so relatable. "I do have love in my heart...it's mostly directed towards my dog".
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.

Can't wait to try this pattern. My daughter and niece are planning a 50's party for July, and both fell in love with this dress. It's also an opportunity for me to practice doing French seams. Can't wait.
I love your choices of fabric. Look forward to seeing your projects.
Love this dress. The fabric selections are perfect. I so envy your talent.
Fantastic dress and you look gorgeous in it. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
I have that Spring rabbit fabric. I made a tablecloth with it. I love this dress!
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!
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!
Strangely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
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.
So good! I love the black and white color palette. I loved your 1930s style heart dresses from last year too!!
Love your Light Fury & Night Fury Pops. I adore Toothless..
Thumbs up for the new hair do and cheeky humor 👌
What a lovely unique dress.
Wonderful video - you are so talented, beautiful, and inspiring! Keep up the great work.
Enjoyed this project. Made me inspired to sew a dress for myself

Dear Ms. Clayton, Thank you for showing the trimming (debulking) of the seam allowances.
