I honestly look at the things to make that are a bit out there (like your weird pumpkin trousers and this) more as moving art than clothing. Although I'm a strictly NO SEQUINS person, that doesn't mean i can't appreciate when someone absolutely kills it. Amazing, 10/10.

@Muck006 Год назад

Unfortunately "art" often enough means "impractical" (easy to damage / hard to clean). One rather bad example would probably be something "professional" I had seen once, where the dress incorporated a bunch of cords, BUT the designer wanted them to be bright yellow ... so some poor interns had to stay over night and use marker pens to "paint" those cords yellow and finish it for the show next day. Pretty unwashable because of that.

@saymyname2417 Год назад

@@Muck006 - I saw the thing with the yellow cord, too and thought the designer was a selfish idiot wasting time, energy and material. As for regular clothes I don't like extravaganza. It's expensive and can often not be worn more than once. Thus, it's wasteful and I hate that. But in this case the dress is pure fantasy, made and to be worn by just one person (though I wonder for which occasion). It does not have to be that practical. I believe it "dresses" and suits the soul before it does so for the body. Like, the art is uplifting. I agree with the oc: while practical things make more sense I prefer watching the development of those insane projects like the pumpkin pants. And historical recreations, historically inspired and fantasy outfits. Watching that is so much fun while sewing normal clothes is rather boring.

@svenjaj.3520 Год назад

@@saymyname2417 while I agree on the wastefulness of the cord dress, I really put this creation in another category. It has brought so much joy and enjoyment to the watchers, a glance at the ecstatic comments makes it obvious to me that even if the material won't be worn out, it's still not wasteful.

@saymyname2417 Год назад

@@svenjaj.3520 - Oh, I don't consider this creation wasteful at all! The cord thing is absolute nonsense but this dragon slayer dress is awesome in many ways and I love watching videos where fantastic clothes are created. They are inspiring and fuel the own fantasy. Sorry for the confusion 😅!

@svenjaj.3520 Год назад

@@saymyname2417 sorry, I must have misread you, I'm glad you too enjoy this wonder ☺️

@Mums_a_knitter Год назад

This is amazing! Only you could have made this dress. I would normally dislike any embellishment on the breast area, but it's almost like this costume forgot it was a dress, and being a dragon became more important to it - it just works!

@AlexaFaie Год назад

I agree! It almost looks like the front panel is just the face of the dragon skinned & turned into an armour piece as opposed to being like "look! BOOBS!"

@amb163 Год назад

WOW. This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The amount of detail and artistry in this dress makes it more a work of art than a piece of clothing.

@lauris5708 Год назад

This gown is absolutely gorgeous. It's a work of art. I could easily see this being worn on a fantasy TV show; it looks like something that Danerys Targerean might wear before going into battle. Is it weird? Maybe. But it is also breathtakingly beautiful.

@GingerPieAJellybean Год назад

This is incredible! I love the little green gems that match the eyes, it’s just enough color! I adore the back and breast plates. I wish I could look at this in person. The textures and details are so rich, you just can’t soak it in the same through media. Seriously, job well done!

@lisahodges8299 Год назад

I didn't think that you could better the Halloween outfit that you filmed in the pumpkin patch. You did, a lot of thought has gone into it and determination. Thank you for showing us. Birdy

@waterbitten Год назад

I love the eyes and the placement, it looks like you've slayed a dragon and made a dress from its head! Again.. epic! 👌🏽

@daniellefreeman7963 Год назад

@Steph_here Год назад

The dress is GLORIOUS 😍 I'm always so happy on Angela's upload days

@kirstenpaff8946 Год назад

@josevandendungen220 Год назад

@rufferstuff9148 Год назад

Keeping the eyes was a wise choice. They really add a lot to the final dress. I love all of the textures and organic feel.

@feed8647 Год назад

I love seeing new videos from you. No matter how extra, no matter the amount (and pounds) of embellishments, no matter what wild and immense fabric choices and mixes you use, your projects never look "too much". It takes a good eye and shows not only how skilled you are, but that you know your fabrics and materials.

@cb9825 Год назад

So beautiful! AND I love that you have a separate embellished shirt which is suitable for more casual outfits. I would wear it with plain trousers or jeans literally EVERYWHERE 😁 life is short, gonna wear sequins and beads any day if I have the mood. Your work inspired me so much, I will embellish my current project too!😘

The way this dress turned out is amazing! The eyes were such a good choice to add to it and it’s almost as if you are the dragon! Also reminds me of Toothless which I this is amazing! The inserting of the scales was such a cool and interesting treatment! Worth the wait for sure!

It is absolutely fabulous to look at, truly like wearable art. All the small details and the variability of different spots makes it very eye catching.

@daneekaplan4284 Год назад

This is AMAZING. It looks like the dragon version of Elphaba's Broadway dress with the way you slashed and layered the fabrics and adding so much texture with the buckles, beads, tri,s and faux leather. I LOVE the eyes and the nipple placement isn't at all racy for some reason. Your makeup is gorgeous.

@ginalou5774 Год назад

Magnificent! Creating a dragon dress using fire….how perfect. This is a work of art not a dress.

@kjtherrick4031 Год назад

Your dragon dress is STUNNING, AMAZING, and so very creative. The eyes at the top are questionably placed at first view, but then as you continue to look you see that those eyes make the front of the dress really seem like a dragon's face and they are exactly where they need to be. I would make the eyes in other spots on the dress look more like colorful jewels, but it's YOUR dress. Again, stunning work.

Tracing paper is a great way to sew fake leather/stretch vinyl. I make drag queen dance costumes and work almost exclusively with stretch vinyl (pray for me), and I use baby powder! I dip my finger in a bowl of powder then trace the sections I’m about to sew and the silicon helps the presser foot glide over it!
