The dark green wool fitted dress is STUNNING and looks incredible on you.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@lenerdhuhn]

It's also very Joan from Mad Men, which is just goals tbh.

[@katinkasirena]

Absolutely! You look bomb in that dress. And it also looks soo comfy. 😍

[@AdirondackRuby]

Seriously, that was jaw-dropping!

[@jesseleekelly3101]

My thoughts exactly!

[@EdenYell]

I know you won't hear this unless you are in the right mindset to hear this, but you truly look amazing in all of your dresses. Don't worry about the "Goals Dresses" not fitting quite right. weight is not important, what is important is that you fuel yourself in a way that keeps you happy and healthy. For you having Celiac, that is a little bit harder than most. A weight or dress size isn't the goal, the goal is a happy, healthy Angie

[@raraavis7782]

Eden Yell So true! Also: since the weightgain is due to medication, not a general issue with eating unhealthy...it‘ll likely sort itself out over time. But I get the frustration. I‘m having some hormonal issues due to endometriosis and holy cow...I just put on 10 pounds in less than 2 months, just because I took a hormon replacement, that didn’t really agree with me. I‘m so glad it’s rather cold now...heat/short clothes and weight gain do not go together very well 😆

[@Leannchops]

So true, and also, if she fitted that dress, think of all the other cute ones that would then be too big.

[@Poppy-]

That is so sweet to say!!! You are right all the way.

[@JesusisKing222]

100% truth.

[@catiatavares7757]

“This dress I should probably sell, but I’m not going to BECAUSE IT HAS PUPPY DOGS ON IT”

So relatable :)

The week of random content continues (and ENDS) with a video where I try on (almost) EVERY dress that I own, most of which are from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. This was kindly sponsored by poshmark! I'm an avid shopper on poshmark, but a new seller and excited to share some of the items that don't suit me but need good homes @ poshmark.com/closet/angelacostumery :)

[@AngelaClaytonCostumery]

PS: New Barbie video coming on Sunday! Thanks for all the kind comments and patience with me this week :)

[@mhwhitebear1487]

I have loved your random content videos! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!

[@alyssawolf7511]

I actually quite like the random videos and vlogs you do. Its a nice change from the usual (but still lovely) sewing videos. Would it be too much to ask to see a video on the other items of clothing in your wardrobe? Like tops, bottoms, shoes etc. I just really love your style. ❤

[@robinr.770]

@@AngelaClaytonCostumery I have thoroughly enjoyed the random content. Thank you so very much.

[@TheKapuahi]

what happened to the 40s floral rayon dress you drafted and made (beige with white flowers) and the hat you made. I love that dress. I have that dress on my wish list but not in beige. btw you look lovely in the wiggle dresses.

[@KidTheFail]

"It is white as hell, so basicly me in a dress" girl im CRYING 😂😂😂😂

[@mrskevadojohnson]

I honestly prefer the dresses from the older years to dresses we have now. They are so beautiful and have basic but flattering designs. I loved every single dress in your wardrobe! I hope we can get more videos like this in the future ❤

[@colombepetite]

Hearing “vintage” and “1980’s” in the same sentence still blows my mind. My first child was born in the 80’s.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Technically anything 20+ years old is vintage. So I really cringe about "vintage" 90s items.

[@TheresaHanssen]

colombepetite me too.

[@raetetemanza6660]

I was born in '85, so I feel ya.

[@Whitney_Sews]

@@raetetemanza6660 I came along in early '87 :)

[@YT4Me57]

I was born in the 50's, so I lose my hearing everytime that word is used in relation to that decade. LOL

[@nancymandle5215]

You have impeccable fashion taste!!!!!! While your modesty deserves to be respected, please know you look equally stunning in the wiggle dresses, the form-fitting ones, the somewhat shorter ones and the ones you naturally feel more comfortable in.

[@Grayseee]

This is so true.

[@gillianattwood1970]

Angela you really suit the wriggle dresses you need to make more xx

[@AdirondackRuby]

Especially that green one! So flattering and fit like it was made for her!

[@ZoraTheberge]

That green body con dress is so Joan from Mad Men! You look lovely in it!

[@patriciabrightwell196]

I had that exact same thought !!!

[@baricala]

That was my first thought!

[@patriciabrightwell196]

@@baricala Great minds think alike -- and apparently binge watch the same Netflix shows !! : ) Joan could wear a dress !!

[@bikersteve1949]

Hi, just some friendly tips. I lived through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, so on. Anything with a waist and gathered is before the 60s. The dress you showed with the long darts at the waist and high bodice in dark green is early 60s. After mid 60s it was higher hem, a lines or high- waisted. Jackie Kennedy suits were popular (Chanel style). Also the twiggy look with Peter Pan collars or turtleneck sweaters with slim skirts. Back to gathers skirts, think Grease the movie, set in the late 50s.

[@j.t.1215]

How wonderful to be so STYLISH. These are classics that I would wear myself!!! The plaid number in the intro is STUNNING!!!

[@healinggardens-terribowlby3129]

That “made by Marilyn“ plaid wrap dress is absolutely gorgeous on you! The neckline is very flattering.… This is fun I’m glad you’re sharing your closet with us!

[@Eva-dy9qy]

I love watching this type of videos from people who also sew because they pick up on such interesting details in each of the garments! This was a huge inspiration for my autumn wardrobe sewing plans, thank you so much for putting it together.

[@tracydean3678]

The plaid "Marilyn" dress was VERY flattering for your figure. Off the shoulder, pleaded bias top and full spin skirt🙋👍🌹

[@uniquelymadison]

Thank you for sharing your lovely collection! I also collection vintage clothing. The unique and fun details of vintage garments always amaze me, not to mention the superb craftsmanship.

[@conniedoiron5111]

Angela you make those dresses look fabulous. You always look like you stepped out of a lovely vintage catalogue or magazine. Don't sell yourself short you look so beautiful in all of your dresses.

[@raraavis7782]

Oh my! I didn’t realize, you had that many dresses! But I guess, it makes sense, if dresses is what you mainly wear. I can’t even decide, which one is my favorite. I love the ones, with really bold, extravagant fabric, but some of the vintage ones also looked so very nice on you. Your remodeled bedroom makes for a nice backdrop now, btw. It’s kinda neutral, with the white doors and wall, but has some vintage-y/decorative elements on the sides. Works very well for me as a viewer 👍

[@TeaCupCracked]

I think a "goal dress" or a certain clothing fit is much healthier than focusing on numbers. BMI charts are useful as general guides for healthcare workers, but don't account for everyone's individual body type, bone to muscle to fat ratios and so on. Given your goal dress is pretty close to fitting, it's probably a very safe and healthy way to measure your progress and will help you avoid getting side tracked by what the scale says. Sometimes we can technically gain 2lbs of water weight while losing two inches on our waist; so I think it' better to look at it from the perspective of how one's current body shape relates back to an un-changing real world object.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Very true. We can gain and lose pounds, but it doesn't always equate to the type of gain or lose of inches. We can gain or lose in different areas, at different amounts. So it's better to focus on how your clothes fit & feel, less about numbers. Like Angela, I sew my own clothes, and all I care about is getting the dimensions right. I don't weigh myself, nor do I obsess over the size I have to cut from a given pattern.

[@ushere5791]

every single dress you modeled is gorgeous on you, btw. the bodycon dresses are jaw-dropping!

[@j.p.2636]

I wish I could look half as good in a form fitting dress!

[@manganikamentad419]

The navy blue sailor style dress is the absolute best !!! You look awesome in it!

[@ShockHiccups]

I think the basque waist dress is stunning, I haven't seen that style in a casual dress before and it's gorgeous.

[@rosered3919]

Gosh! A dress for every day of the year! Many dresses brought back such wonderful memories of the vintage outfits I wore in the 80s and 90s. Wonderful collection. Your own makes are Slam'n. When I found dresses a touch tattered, I would cut them up and copy them. Feel confident, you are young and beautiful and perfect 😚

[@lindafredtrauffer8175]

Burgundy corduroy - Va-va-voom! The 50’s ... all about the sheath and, hint, hint, many layered petticoats!

[@robinoleary7099]

No need to feel self conscious about your figure, it’s amazing. You have the natural shape that belongs in the 40s and 50s. I enjoy your bubbly personality and just now found your channel so I’m binge watching!

[@Tete-lh5ij]

I wish I was this enthusiastic about my wardrobe. I liked your video a lot because of your enthusiasm and the unique dresses you showed. I feel inspired to get rid of the old stuff in my closest and buy some nice dresses that actually fit me.

[@fuchsfarben]

Dark reds and navy blues/greyish blues look so good on you, I'm amazed. Also, 100% yes to the puppies in baskets, that is so adorable :)

[@EdenYell]

I have literally see NOBODY wear that Hell Bunny sailor dress In real life and only had approximate length measurements to go off of. I'm so glad it fits you! I was so hesitant about the length because I WILL NOT wear skirts higher than knee length often enough to justify buying them, but Sailor Moon kicked off a sailor themed obsession. I may be inspired to purchase it now

[@876statestreet]

Per what you say at the very end, No! Don't regret filming this video. Thank you for taking the time! Everything looked very nice!

[@johnlaprairie7837]

I agree with the previous comment. In spite of what you may believe, your figure is amazing...period. I really enjoy your videos, and though I am a seasoned sewist of 33 years, I always manage to learn something from them. Keep up the good work.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

8:30 is my FAVOURITE!!! Looks amazing, I wish we'd seen the whole thing! Great video though :) x

[@leewiley1944]

They looked beautiful on you and really did show the appeal of the era. Many thanks for putting on and changing so many times so we could see your closet! It was fun and took me back to my youth!

[@nickiecarlson1837]

[@judithgreenwood6247]

I’ve owned some of the dresses you have. The gray slim one with the square neckline from Forever 21? A clone of the dress I wore to HS graduation in 1960. My mother wore the little cotton dresses of the late forties and Fifties, every single day, a few you have might have been worn to do the shopping, but women wore a smart little frock at home, even to do the drudgery. They wouldn’t have been caught dead looking the way we do much of the time. Do enjoy them!

[@AnnieTaylorChen]

Amazing... they look so good on you. I love those details and exquisite workmanship they put into those vintage dresses, nowadays we have simpler things. :)

[@LaceyMyriah]

The first and second white/red “nurse” dresses are by far my favorite!! Would you consider putting a red addition to the bottom of the red/white dress that is too short?

[@deenance6738]

Hi Angela, I'm actually watching your video on making shorts, on my roku. I already watched this one but wanted to acknowledge it. The first one I watched was a vintage dress and it eminded me of a vacation on Mackinaw Island and a Somewhere in Time event was going on and folks we're strolling around on the streets. So very cool. But what.I really enjoy are the 40s, 50s clothes that remind me of my mom. Even your red lipstick. You are an excellent sewer and I'm learning from you.

[@sharbean]

Thanks for sharing your fantastic collection with us. You look so lovely! I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite, there were so many that you look stunning in. I’m not going to argue with you about whether you can pull off the wiggle style and more body-con dresses (you CAN) because at the end of the day it is about what you are comfortable wearing. However... I think your proportions, while perhaps not conforming to some kind of useless ‘ideal’, are very pleasant and I hope that you will take all of the positive comments to heart and accept that you do present yourself very beautifully and are an admirably and gorgeously polished person.

[@amillionangels]

the dark green dress is absolutely phenomenal! I was wondering if you'd be able to give guidance on what underwear you go for with these dresses as i'm sure it alters the fit (especially as im someone with a larger bust which makes it doubly hard to make similar silhouettes). LOVE your channel !

[@AprilRyan1985]

Great video, I enjoyed how you talk about fit of the dresses and why they suit you or not and who they would suit better. Loved listening to you talk about vintage fashion. More videos like that? Perhaps looking at different categories in your wardrobe? All the best from the UK xoxo

[@AuntBecsCreations]

The little white dress with red polka dots and red piping that you said was 6 inches too short would look so cute with a ruffle at the bottom if you could match the red... I know exactly what a task that would be - matching the reds. Just an idea

[@alyssawolf7511]

Thats a great idea! That could work on a ton of dresses. Even just to add a bit of flare to a dress that fits great but is a little bland.

[@TheCajuntransplant]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Great minds!

[@AuntBecsCreations]

I was also thinking if you don't want to change anything on the dress... what about an under half slip with a ruffled bottom?

[@alyssawolf7511]

You know what? You ma'am are a genious
