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 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s3a47DKbDMU.html !

@sweetvictorie9150 4 года назад

Literally this video made my day

@rinsesshomaru4789 4 года назад

Well it was yesterday (Australia) and no. I watched Picard with my cat's and slowly melted because it's hot. But yay video!

@kittyishere 4 года назад

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!

@dloveofgod8269 4 года назад

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.

@remarkablestitches 4 года назад

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.

@sapphirecamui6447 4 года назад

Not to mention the uniqueness of the clothes - made by you, for you, and using fabrics you like more. Keep it up!

@maudline 4 года назад

Agree! I don’t feel so caught up with sizes since I can drape and alter to my body and size immediately

@remarkablestitches 4 года назад

@@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.

@Sewverse 4 года назад

That's true, not everything from the high street fits all bodies or you just want something in particular you can't find.

@katekilgour4794 4 года назад

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.

@0threnody070 4 года назад

This dress is so pretty, like a fluffy Dalmatian puppy.

@TheDeerhunter316 4 года назад

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

@sapphirecamui6447 4 года назад

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 ;)

@brendayoungblood9484 4 года назад

Understand fully since my dogs are the best "people" I know.

@hereisahuman5977 4 года назад

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.

@AdirondackRuby 4 года назад

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.

@AngelaClaytonCostumery 4 года назад

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.

@twistedfrannie9311 4 года назад

"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 ❤

@sandiepandieuk5066 4 года назад

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

@goofyedward 4 года назад

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).

@vickinoeske1711 4 года назад

The dress is just too cute and the spectator shoes are perfect.

@lyshlysh9970 3 года назад

Of COURSE more lace and ruffles. That's literally the reason why I learnt sewing! (but to each their own ofc)))

@julied.8277 4 года назад

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!

@maddiechristine3966 4 года назад

Thumbs up for the new hair do and cheeky humor 👌

@mattymarjolet5685 4 года назад

I love this dress! Your red hair against the black and white of the dress is perfection.

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.

@kathleenberube8006 4 года назад

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

@eggboi4564 4 года назад

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"

@cosmicsugarvt 4 года назад

There’s no such thing as “too old”

@geministargazer9830 4 года назад

You’re not too old! Have you seen Baddy Winkle’s Instagram? She’s a fashion icon at 91

@sandiepandieuk5066 4 года назад

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

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!

@catherineskis 4 года назад

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

@mariekado7151 4 года назад

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

@jasmine-ruff-puff9951 4 года назад

I love the two fabrics together.

@wowzieee 4 года назад

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.

@Braz3nRav1n 4 года назад

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.

@evonaagrochowski8006 4 года назад

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,.!

@nannettedominguez1662 4 года назад

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.

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!

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.

@TheMetatronGirl 4 года назад

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.

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.

@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem 4 года назад

angela, please, do not feel bad about your body. 1. you are maturing. your body will naturally become more curvy. when i was 19, i weighed 130/135 lbs. i was 5'6" at the time. i thought i was fat because i couldn't wear my friends clothes. (in retrospect, i now understand the concept of being petite and smaller. while i have short bones - my length being in my torso- they are large in diameter. also, i had a much larger bust than they did). with my first pregnancy, i gained 50 lbs. i had no idea how to dress it and hid behind ill fitting clothes. in my late 40s, i learned to accept my body and to wear clothes that actually fit me - not too small. i finally found some joy in clothes shopping and putting my best foot forward. don't waste years of your young adult life disliking your body. there are always things we will hate about it and that we have to learn to dress to make the bad things regress and the good stand out. accept your body (and you are beautiful by the way. lovely shape). wear what you want to wear and make what you want to make, just make it a little more generous. by the way,... the weight gain for me did not end with the first pregnancy. by the time it was all done and said, i got up to 340 at one point. i do not accept this weight and i have worked on getting it down. but i refuse to hide behind tents until i get down to a healthy weight. and i get complimented regularly on my style.

I love it when I get a real person calling about my car insurance! I share my husband's car so it's so satisfying when I tell them, "There's a problem with you calling me about this... I don't have a car." Usually the person responds with "Oh." Then hangs up. Then I get to laugh. :)

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.

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😊.

@laurent3415 4 года назад

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.
