No RU-vidr has ever been so relatable as when you said that, due to past traumas, you generally avoid using invisible zippers in your own creations

@IonIsFalling7217 3 года назад

Agreed, heartily.

@TheMetatronGirl 3 года назад

I dunno, I think green hair and over 200 tiny unicorn statues makes me trust you more. I also think the finished dress looks phenomenal on you...you’re an astoundingly beautiful person!

@brandeeisbomb 3 года назад

This needs to be like a whole series of queen's gambit outfits. I love her white dress with the button tab shoulders that she wears in mexico.

@waterbitten 3 года назад

I 100% agree with you on the review. I felt the same and certainly hope no one sends you nasty DMs about it. The dress looks really great well done on overcoming the technical challenges.

@joellewatkins5528 3 года назад

I too agree with the review. Also the best part of the show are the clothes' .

@kimmyawesomeness4184 3 года назад

While I don't share Angela's opinion of the show, I thought I would explain why I loved it since it seemed as though some don't understand why others do. In my case, I thought the show did an excellent job demonstrating how differences (in the show's case, an extreme talent) affect people and how they can be extremely isolating. The bigger the difference, the more isolating it becomes. For Beth, her difference isolated her not only physically by bringing her to competitions all over the country/world, but also socially by making it hard to relate to other people. But the show also shows the flip side because in the end Beth finds through chess a wonderful community of close friends who understand her. While Beth's talent is an extreme example of a difference, everybody has a difference that sets them about from others, whether it be a talent, a disability, or otherwise, and can therefore see themselves in Beth. The show demonstrates the complex ways differences affect people. How they can isolate but also provide community. How they can be a source of hardship but also a source of pride. And in the end, the show demonstrates how once Beth is able to find healthy coping mechanisms and outlets for the isolation and difficulties her difference generates for her, her perspective of her difference is able to change to become more positive. Since everybody has their own differences, this is a lesson that everybody can apply to their own life. That is why I found the show relatable, thought provoking, and overall enjoyable.

This deceptively tricky project turned out so beautifully. I think the dress is lovely and you in it. Also puppy in the snow is to cute.

If it’s deceptively tricky - it seemed really difficult but turned out super simple, right?

Personally, I'm more likely to trust someone with bright green hair and hundreds of unicorn figurines than many others. At least there's a better chance of honesty! Love your humour and your skills. You make the day happy. Thank you!

@NamiSparrow 3 года назад

Totally agree with you about the show XD I definitely stuck with watching it for mostly the aesthetic and like 3% the plot. Deceptively difficult projects are the WORST but this turned out gorgeous!!!

@nevsneedles5469 3 года назад

The costuming and set design was what made Queen's Gambit for me. I agree that it was pretty predictable. Great dress, as always! On first glance I thought that you had dyed your hair red! I'm glad you still have your green hair though.

@michellecornum5856 3 года назад

@@lauracarrier6158 It's the unicorns that make her schiesty. She uses them to cast an enchantment that even works on infants and old women. Angela Clayton has mesmerized both my mother and my grand daughters. I know a couple other CosTubers who have them -- the unicorns-- same result to a lesser degree because they don't own as many.

@gigglepantsiii9350 3 года назад

There is a difference between 'culturally important' and 'entertaining' most media doesn't fall into both categories, and that's okay! I'm glad you ended up with a dress that swished so nicely and I can't wait to see what other projects you choose to share in the future.

@honeykat1 3 года назад

The dress is lovely, and you look beautiful in it (wig and all)!! And I loved seeing your studio assistant playing around you at the end...: the Queen's Gambol!

@girlofdifferentera2922 3 года назад

Wow! I have never seen the movie but I can totally appreciate the amount of work you put into the dress!!! And I would love it if you have this pattern published through McCall's and available for the public! This much work shouldn't go unnoticed!

@SH-wk6po 3 года назад

The final result looks great, and many opportunities for swishing about when the weather warms up later in the year! 😃 Your dedication to the photos, and posing in the snow is to be commended. I tip my hat to you in appreciation. 🎩 Posie also looks so cute bouncing around in the snow. 🐶

This dress was love at first sight for me, searched for the pattern high and low at the beginning when finally someone suggested 2903. I got the coveted pattern just to realize it's way over my sewing skills so that's going to be long time coming. I see more than 7 mock up/ failed attempts in my future. Your version is amazing. Thank you for making your pattern available and for the hint on the square size. Looking forward to gather a collection of gingham when I find a good supplier.
