Making a Bridgerton Inspired Regency Gown | Dressing like i'm in an episode of Bridgerton!

It’s always nice to see how her humour seems to reflect her mood and mental health. During times when her mental health seems better she’s brighter, more joyful, and her self-deprecating humour feels lighter-hearted. Even though she has every right to process her personal life privately, it’s nice to see the change with time.

« I did buy the cheapest satin gloves to complete that Bridgerton look ». I died, this is so true!, the dress is beautiful though!

[@robinoleary7099]

I thought the dress was beautiful on you. Everyone in that era looked pregnant no matter how slim you were! Love the colors!

[@essencebeasley6524]

That's why the tight lacing scene in Bridgerton bothered me. You look pregnant no matter what, why bother?

[@RedhairedBallerina]

I was actually really scared of looking pregnant in my first foray into regency costuming, but turns out if you have large enough boobs to stick forward, you don't necessarily look pregnant. Except in a round gown, but I'm not here for those :D

[@mcwjes]

Food baby bumps are historically accurate.

[@JoeyMastropiero]

I always had the same insecurity with regency style garments, but now that I see, even the dress form looks "pregnant" with that cut, so why worrying :P

[@michaelaloser5985]

@@essencebeasley6524 lol tightlacing in the Regency ? That's pretty wild since the job of Regency stays was to lift & separate the bosom and maybe smooth out a tummy if need be-- some stays didn't even extend much beyond the empire waistline of the dresses . On top of that, though bone eyelets existed past 1800 most eyelets were still hand sewn and tightlacing basically requires the metal eyelets that didn't show up on corsets until like 1840 ? So yeah almost certainly Regency tightlacers even among the most fashionable and luxuriant of them.

[@pay1370]

Ooooh there is something about that colour combination that's just *cheff's kiss* 😘👌

[@lauragiletti]

I agree. Angela says it’s not a color combination she’d usually go for but wow, this is so nice. The colors work so well the way they’re put together and I love love love the sheer fabric over opaque. It’s a gorgeous dress made with great work.

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

You say you don't look good in Regency clothes but you looked like a porcelain doll when you put it on. Beautiful!

[@jenninstitches]

I kind of feel like I need a t-shirt that says "I just like sequins in general" written in sequins. I kinda want to make an embroidered pillow that says "Sleeves are sneaky" You look good in this and it is a beautiful make.

[@kachnickau]

I share "it will definitely look pregnant on me" on this style of dress, but actually you look really amazing in it! Love the project :)

[@sarahrosen4985]

The beading on the ends of the tie in the back were a bit of extra whipped cream on top of the cherry. So in love with this dress and the whole backdrop scene.

[@dawn8525]

This is the most ethereal dress I’ve ever seen

[@KristaHarrisSB]

I love the combination of the sea foam green and coral, it’s one of my favorite color combinations! Love this video and the dress. I think the dress is more flattering on you than you think. You look gorgeous. And your hairstyle suited it perfectly. That was another gripe I had with the show, those hairstyles with hair hanging down on one side. So wrong.

[@philaphobic]

Refreshing to see someone celebrating what they liked, and simply discarding what they didn't. No need to hate on things. This turned out great 👍

[@minkaf4243]

I have one dilemma re this dress: I can’t decide if I should call it glorious or divine. Maybe it’s both. Love the colors and materials choices (fabrics and decorations). Brava!

Gloriously divine. Divinely gorgeous. Why settle for one or the other when both is a perfectly viable option?

[@marielcalder103]

[@CraftyInTheory]

I LOVE THIS DRESS. It has floral, and sparkle and this is the extra thing I didn't know I needed today. Also: the unicorn rating method...100% gonna use that in the future.

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

It turned out ridiculously pretty! And everybody looks pregnant in regency dresses imo so don't feel bad, you are beautiful!

[@HumbleVoyager]

The costume is gorgeous, but your style, skill and sense of humor make it even better. Thanks for the video. I can't wait to see what's next!!

[@ArtemisScribe]

CosTube: "Bridgeton isn't historically accurate!" Angela: "Oh no why?" CosTube: "Well for starters they used sequins-" Angela: *immediately sewing a Bridgerton costume* "Okay, I love you, but let me tell you why you're wrong about sequins."

[@EmissaryofWind]

If King Tut had sequins, any era can have sequins, and no I don't care that it's inaccurate

[@EmissaryofWind]

@Charisma Girl I checked before posting my comment, both ancient Egypt and the regency periods used small metal disks with a hole in the center, sewn to garments for decorative purposes. While the term "sequin" came about much later than King Tut's life, it would have been in use in the regency period.

[@cathyblackhall3448]

If they were interested in historical accuracy Queen Charlotte and about a third of the cast wouldn’t have been people of colour 😏

[@crisp208]

I really love how you embrace non accuracy of the show and just take it as inspiration to create something beautiful. I don't think you look pregnant in it, no more than anyone would in an empire waist, however. It looks so pretty and sparkly, love the appliqués and the color combination reminds me of an 18th century porcelain. I give it 10 unicorns/10 XD

[@wowzieee]

This is a great Netflix series and if they were looking for a young, inspiring historical designer, I hope they call you.

Listen. Listen. Listen. This is GORGEOUS. I'm living for those embroidered wildflowers, and although I would never choose green if I had the pretext for going with a warmer colour, this colour scheme, and the intricate, beautiful details of the embellishments are absolutely stunning. Which, of course, is Angela's whole brand. What a genius at using textures, sparkles, floofs, and all kinds of pretty trifles; what a pro at whimsical, fun, creative designs. Also what a stunner, even in a "maternity dress" and a garish wig; definitely can pull off the notoriously unflattering Regency silhouette, even if it's not her favourite. All round, *chef's kiss*

[@SewTexas]

Angela, you never fail to amaze me, in addition to such artistic talent, you have such a sense of humor and fun to listen when you describe your projects. The dress looks like a Paris courture design! The dress reminds me of a dress I saw on youtube about Paris designs and had Betsy Bloomingdale's dress had purchased in Paris, Dior maybe, and those garments sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars only yours is prettier. Yes the colors work and I happen to think it is flattering on you. A good day for me is when Angela Clayton puts up a new video! Wonderful.

[@noexpensespentstudios]

As unflattering a style as these dresses are, your eye for colour and detail really pulled this one together and it looks exceptional in its own right. It really plays to your strengths as a designer and creator. Coral and green are very difficult to balance, but you got it just right on this one, and the amount of embellishment is exactly right.

[@apothecraftary9620]

I love this color combination! The peach tulle layers really helped marry the green and pink together (even though I also think the green by itself was lovely!). You also make using the embroidered lace to create your own appliques or trim seem much less daunting than it feels to do. I'm kind of tempted to buy a yard next time I buy fabric to try it now, so thank you! It always feels so scary and intimidating, but this really did make it seem much more attainable and straight forward.

[@TFeary]

@Charisma Girl christ relax, first off I have read the books, its basically a Jane Austin fanfic they are fun but in no way historically accurate... and Netflix say it was inspired by the books not fully based on them. Also stop getting butthurt over the diverse cast. the actors are amazing and I like the diversity it makes it interesting rather then another boring regency love drama. Also once again I love the costumes and the remaking of the modern music which are also not historically accurate but you didn't mention that

[@Kayenne54]

@Charisma Girl The very things that annoyed you annoyed me about the series too. However, once I got over the historical "fantasy" aspect, I just tried to enjoy it. Kept reminding myself that fiction is always fiction. You should hear my SO going on about "Vikings" and how no real Viking with any brains intact would charge any battle without some kind of helmet and their gear would have been all mish-mash, because looted from other victims and so on. What's really going to annoy both you and I is that the younger generation will think all the historical inaccuracies are gospel truth, all because some studio execs somewhere thought this is what the sheeple want. The intellectual laziness is the real epidemic.

[@quazylade90]

I have not seen the show but have heard people say they like the costumes. Even though they sew, they were people who don't really know about the Era of fashion and they are looking at the shiny and different. You are so critical of yourself. I like the dress on you.
