I attempted this pattern years ago with this adorable captain marvel fabric and while it was cute conceptually the fit was all wrong for me 😭 Your comment about it not being large bust friendly and also being a bit tricky to read for inexperienced pattern users makes me feel so much better about that project, so thank you 😂

@TheMRCdragon Год назад

I made 4 of these as bridesmaid dresses for a family wedding in purple crepe backed satin, using the satin side as the contrasting fabric. Your assessment is spot on! I also added pockets, and flatlined the skirts with netting, and did line them. Great swooshing commenced! You look super cute in these, and I love the audacity your dog has. 💜

@agcons Год назад

I've successfully lined circular skirts fully by sewing both to the bodice then either hanging up the dress (fine) or placing it on a mannequin (much better) for several days. I've even left a crepe-de-chine dress and its skirt lining hang for over a week. They absolutely drop out at different rates; often it's quite surprising how different, and this is why I wait so long. When the time comes to finish the hems, mark the skirt first at the proper length, then either baste it in place or finish it - sewist's choice. Mark the lining about 1cm higher and finish it. So far this has never failed, but I would say if allowed to hang only overnight (as many instructions and books say) both would still continue to drop.

@mnels5214 Год назад

Really great advice!

@zarsepehr3315 Год назад

just what I was going to write and great advice too.

@paulamiller8386 Год назад

Just made 2 double circle skirts for a dance costume and hung them both on my manequin for a full week. They seemed to drop more each day over that week. The looser the fabric the longer you need to leave it to drop.

@mellie4174 Год назад

Exactly! I always hang for a week

@zuriagaski8912 Год назад

Also thanks for including the snip where you caught the skirt in the waist seam accidentally and had to rip it out. It's weirdly reassuring to see that even super experienced sewers have to put up with gremlins!

@nelemmih Год назад

I have followed you for years and I must say that you have given me more confidence in my own sowing, you have taught me that I don't have to follow a pattern description to a t, and to analyse and do things in the order that works best for me, or as you say, being lazy.

@hayleydavies8643 Год назад

Agreed. Angela has taught me to streamline most of my sewing, take the courage to start a project and not get too hung up on not finishing them. My sewing has improved because of her and the love of sequins.

@hannahzechariah5062 Год назад

I've been watching this forever. But there's something soothing about Angela reads sewing instructions (that would otherwise would be completely baffling). I love this video and both dresses look wonderful

@ZelB06 Год назад

I've literally just finished this pattern myself. I did it in a gorgeous pink silk. I totally agree about the hem band, I thought it was a pretty poor finish for the band as you've got multiple seams showing and it was a nightmare to sew on. I didn't end up lining it at all and it worked just as well. I used french seams

@Zoot_of_Anthrax Год назад

Always adore watching you sew! Also kudos to including bust size on dress patterns. As a busty/hourglass and also taller individual - im not the body patterns are drafted for so its nice to hear reviews accordingly :)

@SewTexas Год назад

I thoroughly enjoyed your interpretation of Vogue awkward instructions, I totally agree with your review. Despite Vogue renegade ideas how to best put one of their designs together I have always liked their patterns. The style lines and overall look of finished garments are at times unusual and unique. I learned to sew using Vogue patterns and decided years ago to do it "my way" rather than theirs, more often than now, I usually am happy with result. I am always happy with your choices of patterns to sew. Thank you so much for keeping a very old lady inspired about fashion and design.

@CandycaneLane999 Год назад

The rainbow Rick rac really looks fantastic on the white dress, always look forward to more Angela Clayton content!💕

@sublimnalphish7232 Год назад

I always look forward to an Angela Clayton video. I was a patron but the website kept messing up and I could never get in so I canceled my patreon membership to everyone that I was a patron of, it sucked! I do like watching her videos!

@sarahheri7027 Год назад

i also love looking back on angela clayton content :) so much to pick and choose from

@Rotten_Ralph Год назад

I’m glad to know about the bust issue, my bust always requires a significant adjustment. So I’m going to mark this in the not for me column.

@Bexinmo Год назад

Angela, I just love your videos. I always learn something (like it's ok to not follow the instructions in order!) and you make me feel more confident in my ability to sew. I also love how your voice lifts at the end of each sentence (I know how odd that sounds, but it is just such a you thing. It's very comforting). My mom used to be my sewing mentor. She passed in 08, and had a bit of a sewphobia for a while, but you have made it easier to get back in to it.

@craftykatmomma Год назад

Perfect timing for your video release!! I'm currently making my own version of a dress you made 7 years ago (the fall flower dress) for a fairy costume for Halloween! It was great to have your voice with my while hot gluing hundreds of flowers and leaves and butterflies!

@sevenandthelittlestmew Год назад

If anyone is interested in the fabric collection, it’s Art Theory by Alison Glass for Makower UK/Andover US. Some of the fabric in this line may still be available online or in quilt stores. Just throwing that out there. We quilters are obsessed with fabric collections and will hoard them when they come available, because when they’re gone… they’re GONE.

@jackiejames4551 Год назад

I think both dresses turned out very nice. However, I like the black Bayer than the white one, not sure why, I just do. Your explanations on how to make these dresses were great! Thank you.

@elainebye9090 Год назад

Two very cute dresses. 😍 They look so adorable on you! I would never mess around with all that Vogue stuff, but I sure enjoyed watching you.😋

@yobespierre Год назад

usually you leave the lining free at the hem on dresses like this so that you don't have to wear a slip. the lining is usually silky and functions like the slip, so the outer skirt doesn't stick to your legs. if you attach the lining at the hem, you might still need a slip.

@lynn858 Год назад

Sure… but wouldn’t it make more sense to buy or make a slip you can wear with multiple dresses? What’s the advantage to having a slip sewn into it?

@jodammerungii6134 Год назад

@@lynn858 a separate slip with similar fullness would probably add bulk at the waist. And then you'd have to worry about it wiggling around independently from the dress - or falling off!

@LizzaLee Год назад

About all the basting...my mom was a Home Ec major back in the 1950s. She told me that they were required to do a lot of basting, so I'm not surprised to see that in the pattern guide.

@KitOfTheWeirdWoods Год назад

The both turned out so gorgeous! I love your choice of fabrics. My favourite is the black one, but I love the rainbow ricrac you used on the white one, really tied it together!

@FlickiChicki Год назад

The original pattern does match up on the facings, even with bust adjustments - at least per Grandma’s notes. The reproduction pattern however, having tried it, is a hot mess of doom and the pattern does not work nicely with any adjustments.

@veeninja2680 Год назад

That's the pattern I used for my wedding dress!! Its purple, I wear it to all formal events! So good to see.

@mjdc2533 Год назад

Knitting needle trick is so helpful. Thanks for sharing. Those edges have been frustrating for me.

Your fur baby is one resourceful little one! It's a cute story and if she ( it is a "she" right?) I would be in awe of her. Thanks for the story and the video!

So nice to see you again 😊. Seeing Sunday seamstresses not pressing seams makes me cringe. Thanks Angela for all your explanations and warning for us bustier gals. The instructions do seem overly complicated.

@Puppy52 Год назад

Looks so pretty!🥰❤️

@LottamaBunMom Год назад

When putting in a zipper in any thing, even jeans, always baste it with a different colored thread. This way you can check the fit and if it is off cut just one stitch and rebaste. No more being stuck by pins!!

@vickinoeske1154 Год назад

Really cute pattern. Glad you made it in both black and white. Flattering on you.

@LottamaBunMom Год назад

The best way to line a circle skirt is to use a bias cut silky fabric. You sew in onto the bodice with the outer skirt but make it about 2 inches shorter hemming it seperately.

@kayta84 Год назад

Love the rainbow ric-rak, and the black dress is just 🖤🖤🖤🖤 lovely!

@collettemcquaide1662 Год назад

I loved the puppy story! Good to see you back. I found your comments on the pattern most useful. X

@martaaberg3330 Год назад

Loved this vid. Always love your vids. Your sense of humor is so entertaining, and your knowledge of sewing process and your ability to teach it is a treat.

@sewstinkincute Год назад

I used that same pattern earlier in the summer and found (with a slight adjustment to my own measurements it) to be a really cute fit and I will be using it again. Its really fun to see other people giving this pattern a try. I used a heavy weight fabric so Ifound lining the skirt unnecessary and at first I was terribly confused how to sew the bodice trim and straps to the bodice so that was my personal struggle.

@ersiliahowe2894 Год назад

Love the black dress best! Though I enjoy all your videos & posts!!! Good work & great to see you again!😊

@sheri3108 Год назад

I just want you to know I have missed you. Those dresses turned out great. I loved the choice of the rainbow ric-rac.

@adamsransom Год назад

Thanks for talking about the bias hem strip at the end! While you were cutting it, I was curious how it would sit on the circle skirt.

@armedvsokord Год назад

Your videos are amazing. The are such cute dresses.

@alisonbeiko2050 Год назад

Angela you made my day, my Month with this video! I have missed seeing you and all your chats and wisdom. You look wonderful! Thank you again and I have this pattern and like in the past videos you give me the inspiration to go and sew! Love your two dresses and your wonderful video. Thanks again xo

@kckazcoll1 Год назад

thanks Angela, good to watch your process and I appreciate your review, especially as someone with a D cup who often has to do bust adjustments on patterns :)

@wendymalik6784 Год назад

Always a good time.

@megs7019 Год назад

Absolutely love the fabric with the moth on it… really like u made both colors of that print.

@jovensquire Год назад

I got this pattern as a hand-me-down a couple of years ago and I've been balking at making it, mostly because the bias bottom adds so much to the quantity of fabric, but seeing your sew through it looks simpler than I thought it might be, so I might give it a go. Thank you so much.

@katelafontaine7119 Год назад

I've had this pattern in my stash for several years and kept putting it aside because I've seen how fussy Vogue patterns can be. I also have a larger bust so its nice to know what results came from others. I'm probably just going to draft a bodice with the contrasting facings myself instead of trying to alter the existing one. Excellent review!

@MegK1508 Год назад

Would love a video just talking about using quilting cotton for garments.

@devh6168 Год назад

lovely dresses!! I learn so much on construction techniques (and instruction disregardment) from watching you videos! It's made me a much more confident sewist... Also pantry moths: buy a bag of cheap dried bay leaves. Scatter them all over where the pantry moths are. Also, see if you can figure out where the came/are coming from. For us, they were in one cabinet and it was a bag of dried chiles. Chucked the bag, sealed other things up as much as possible and bay leaves everywhere. No more pantry moths!

@armedvsokord Год назад

Great video

@frodobaggins4794 Год назад

another wonderful video, angela! i, for one, wouldn't mind hearing more dog stories in your tutorials ;)

@peggyriordan9857 Год назад

These dresses turned out so cute and fit you perfectly. I do have a large bust, so I won't be making it. I wish I could. Vogue patterns always give me a headache, but most of the time they do come out very well. Thank you so much!

@cathymatthews5147 Год назад

Very cute dresses! Although I would have done the facings quite differently. I like the length, I think it looks graceful.

@zuriagaski8912 Год назад

Angela I really enjoyed the more detailed commentary on construction. I would love to see you tackle butterick b4790 one piece wrap dress which I personally think is the worst pattern I have ever seen. Other people have YTd on this pattern but even extensive redrafting couldn't make this pattern work on my body. I'd love your take on it!

@dollmom3597 Год назад

I was at hobby lobby last week. I looked through the pattern book, and there your were. Keep sewing

@kaytiej8311 Год назад

I love these videos where you trial and critique replica patterns. It gives us a chance to see different eras being worked on and potential pitfalls. I'd love to see you try Simplicity 8747 - a suit from the 50's. Thank you for your great work.

@shantigarin7272 Год назад

It would be nice to see a comparison with the original pattern that inspired the reproduction to see if the original makes more technical sense than the modern one

@davidhutchison3343 Год назад

As a fan of 1950's fashion, I rather like the length of these dresses, and if anything, I would slightly lengthen rather than shorten. However in 2022, the trend is for higher hem lines, so can see why you would do so. Both dresses look so charming.

@mnels5214 Год назад

Simple but very pretty. I think the rickrack (is that how you spell it?) really solved the problem of the cream/white values. They are very fun and look really comfortable.

@teddy-3765 Год назад

They both look great but I much prefer the effect with the rainbow ric-rac over the effect without. I long ago gave up on using Vogue patterns because they seem to default to the most (unnecessarily) complicated construction methods/order and aren't always good at explaining those steps clearly either. I've generally found that a bit of time searching for a similar pattern from another company is a far better use of my time than dealing with the headache of deciphering Vogue's over-complicated construction choices and less-than-clear instructions for it.

@lynn858 Год назад

Well alright then! I’ll just draft my own!

@idreamofflannel Год назад

I have pantry moth trauma, too! Good luck!

@bluesrednas4329 Год назад

@juliehenry6421 Год назад

I was surprised you didn't bead dazzle the top of the bodice instead of using Rick rack 😁

@sandyclaws5247 Год назад

I've fought the pantry moths before, it takes forever to get rid of them. I usually find them in bird food FYI.

@AmPlant Год назад

that hair color is gorgeous!! I love the way it pops with both dresses. What brand of dye was it?

@susanrobertson984 Год назад

Vogue patterns are notorious for complicated instructions.

@meagantrout2127 Год назад

I was going to say the same thing. I’m a novice but have sown for years and I have one vogue pattern that I purchased about 10 years ago…… I opened it twice to attempt and decided that it was never going to be for me

@davidhutchison3343 Год назад

Totally agree. I've learned to avoid Vogue patterns unless it's absolutely necessary and then do 1 or 2 mockups, finding the best way to assemble the dress, often ignoring the instructions completely. Not a good pattern choice for a novice seamstress.

@anonymousperson4214 Год назад

Well I now know rainbow rickrack exists, so appearantly I nEED ALL OF IT!

@spiritualworld80 Год назад

Looks nice but let see what's here . But I hope as usual it gonna be another interesting video.

@RaquelliBee Год назад

The top edge of the bodice probably didn't line up to the top edge of the interfacing because you took the bodice in by an inch when you modified the darts in the back. That's my guess. It turned out beautiful anyways.

@jayneterry8701 Год назад

I went back to the beginning of your video as you hadn't mentioned what fabric it calls for. I'm wondering if some of the sewing details you mention later is for tricker fabric than quilting cotton? I like the final length on you Angela.
