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.

@AngelaClaytonCostumery 5 лет назад

You and me both haha!

@hildaalintria7484 5 лет назад

Yeah ,i hoping that too

@anaisgongora3023 5 лет назад

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)

@eparke20 5 лет назад

Anais Gongora I learned that in my study abroad term in France. Thanks for bringing back that memory 🥰

@lazygirlprocrastinatingmas9886 5 лет назад

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 ?

@anaisgongora3023 5 лет назад

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)

@lilykiss1145 5 лет назад

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 !

@Riiot09 5 лет назад

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.

@desertdaisymarie6951 5 лет назад

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..

@AshHeaven 5 лет назад

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.

@Riiot09 5 лет назад

@@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

@Naharu. 4 года назад

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!

@mungbean345 5 лет назад

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!

@sewcrazybaker 5 лет назад

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!

@leiannatrinkle1444 5 лет назад

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.

@CreatingwithWinglessAngel 5 лет назад

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!!

@raraavis7782 5 лет назад

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 😉

@sophieh2902 5 лет назад

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.

@katlady5000 5 лет назад

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.
