Making a Silver & Brown Renaissance Gown | Vlog | Part Two

WHAT THE HECCCCK THIS IS GORGEOUS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sophielove7687]

It is indeed. That was my thought process exactly, dearest Bernadette 😂

[@Glue_Sniffa]

queens supporting queens. we love to see it

[@JessicaReinke]

You know it’s a job well done when Bernadette Banner comments!

[@hkveg8053]

I missed this kind of crazy gorgeous extravagant creations of yours! Your costumes are unique and personal, love your interpretations of historical dresses.

[@Stimkie]

The queen has spoken

[@juliettedemaso7588]

Some weren’t a fan of this fabric combo? Um no, this is couture level design. It’s truly exquisite, with so much broody dark character. So painterly! This is one I would buy in a heartbeat, and the chunky chain necklace was a perfect accessory choice. I seriously love this one! 🥰

[@caligulalonghbottom2629]

I know right... usually she does have questionable and tacky fabric choices but this is exquisite and stunning. If Sleepy Hollow was set in the 1500s in Germany this is what you would see on Mrs. van Tassel.

[@TomWDW1]

I was going to say the same thing. This fabric combo is perfect.

[@swish043]

@@caligulalonghbottom2629 Bruh... Saying her fabric choices are "usually tacky" is unreasonably cruel and unfair. Seriously, it doesn't cost you anything to take an extra second to make your criticisms constructive rather than abusive 😞

[@eiralinnea]

The fabrics together look like leather and metal, which is basically A+ cool stuff. 8)

[@AliT857]

i questioned the fabric choices until i saw them together. angela is so good at seeing the big picture, so these fabrics are just amazing together.

[@TheSarahLindy]

“Goth Does Renaissance” ... I love it! This is still reading black & silver on my screen, but that matters not.... this gown is stunning!

[@jenniferpingleton8389]

Sarah Dalton reminds me of a Goth Snow White!

[@mnels5214]

I think it's just gorgeous, I'm so glad you went with the more complicated sleeves, they really make this dress something special! Now to find a renaissance faire that is open!

[@susancampanelli4245]

Stunning, beautiful, and a little “haunting” in a theatrical/feature film way. This ensemble belongs in a film noir! Also Your dark hair & makeup look really nice!

[@lcwaves]

Wow really stunning, this gives me vibes of the movie "Ever After" and the dresses Angelica Houston's character wore! Great job!

[@gypsyrobin]

Thank you for ringing my memory bell. Kept thinking why does the gown look so familiar. "Ever After" is it.

[@gypsyrobin]

Watched it with my 9 yr old daughter when it went came out on videotape. One thing we didn't expect was hearing the name Danielle instead of Cinderella. We both looked at each other cause that's her name. A great mom & daughter memory moment.

[@Corvid285]

The fabric combination and the detailing is very much like what Colleen Atwood does for her costume design. It’s gorgeous and creates depth for a monotone colored piece. I absolutely love this dress.

[@orionsbonk]

honestly the blurriness of the full-body photos makes them look even more like paintings! the portraiture vibes are strong and you look gorgeous!

[@ItsGloriaYo]

First of all, Holy Balls that is amazing as are all of your projects/pieces! I know you're so hard on yourself as far as hand sewing and/or some of the last minute adjustments you have to make. What you call sloppy I would call definitely more advanced. Your worst is definitely my best. Secondly, I've been following you for a while and have seen your journey about, mental and physical health and everything else life throws your way and I have to say you are such an inspiration for all of us going thru similar stuff. I know its hard to do what you have to and its gets a little harder to do what you would like to do and you being open about "this wasnt a good day" or "I can't figure this out" makes it so when I have a similar time or problem I know that I have to approach it Angela's way and at the end it gets done. It's just so refreshing to see a real person and not a perfect youtuber behind the things you do and all the love that you do it with. I hope that when you're not doing so good even though we don't know each other personally know that we're rooting for you, that you remember you're only human and that this too shall pass and I/we are her for you. Much love, Gloria.

[@amywyckhouse]

I know this is totally random but just wanted to comment that my eyes were drawn to your eyeliner / eyebrows / hair in this video. Without looking at your other videos I'm remembering your hair was either a little lighter or a different color. Just wanted to comment that the dark hair looks really good on you today.

[@michellecornum5856]

WOW! I agree. She is really striking in these dark colors!

[@AngelaClaytonCostumery]

Aw thank you! It was sort of an accident - my hair was red, and I was aiming for purple, so I used bright blue dye and ended up with navy hair. I'm liking it though and glad you do too!

[@seattlegirl2077]

Between her eye makeup and her hair color and style, she has found something perfect for her. So flattering.

[@christopherday3494]

@@AngelaClaytonCostumery It's very "Snow White", I really like it!

[@Poppy-]

@@christopherday3494 indeed! She has the skin for Snow White too. Snow White dress next 🤔?

[@SewingwithSessi]

i must admit I love the dark and almost romantic Goth look of this garment and your makeup and wig choice really is perfect. I love and appreciate the mix of fabrics and textures and beading and chains. The cartridge pleating was so cool and I know the amount of time you put into the entire process and if you didnt already know, Its truly appreciated.

[@MyLivingJournal]

To me, this is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gown you have EVER made! It is exquisite, ornate, & lavishly elegant! Not to mention; your creativity & artistry really shines through in this magnificent beauty! The fabric combination, I think, is gorgeous together. This sleeve design along with these materials really makes this gown spectacular. This gown is worthy to be showcased in a movie. Great work. Way to go!

[@phoenixdavida8987]

This is probably my favorite historical fashion KZbinr dress of all time!!!

[@Romy-90]

The aesthetic of this gown is awesome! Every Renaissance lady would be lucky to wear this bold ensemble. Well done!

[@DemeterMedi]

This gown is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in making on KZbin. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@realmms]

I congrat you on a lovely dress, your portfolio is so wide and varied.

[@dawndartnell1488]

Thank you. I work at a senior community and we do everything we can to keep our residents safe. And it’s the artist like you who come through that help us a lot

[@ToriMorgan]

This is absolutely STUNNING. I don't know how anyone can say they don't like the fabric combo! I'm absolutely blown away by how beautiful it is. Truly a masterpiece!!!!

[@swish043]

This dress turned out GORGEOUS. I am obsessed with the moody tones of the fabrics and the textures work so unexpectedly well together.

[@SofaraStarfyre]

Gorgeous! The full body shots gave off a dark vibe, but in a good way if that makes sense. You really looked the part of a queen making judgement on someone or something. Love it!

[@DawnOldham]

What a stunning dress. No need to be self-deprecating! You’re an amazing seamstress and every outfit turns out looking like a piece of ART!

[@elainebye9090]

I think this is one of your loveliest costumes ever. The fabric combination is fantastic! The accessories and embellishments out standing. I am in awe.

[@yvonneburns2786]

The dress itself is a work of art, but also i'm envisaging it in a jumpsuit style but with wider leg hems, and with the same colour combo. Modern renaissance if you will lol

[@mollybrown5534]

The dress/blouse you are wearing in the beginning is adorable! I love the little foxes! And your hair colour is so pretty too!

[@terezar880]

It's a beauty! I really admire how you can completely transform yourself for the portraits with your dresses, hair, accessories and makeup, and I'm kind of jealous that you look good in literally every hair colour out there :D

[@linw7320]

Lovely Angela! Undoubtably, as I am 100% certain you are consistently told: "Your "eye" for style, detail & quality, is at an elevated professional level. Thanks for sharing some of your process. 🌹🖤

[@seattlegirl2077]

You look wonderful in the intro to this. Everything is so flattering on you. Your hair style is great and your hair color! (From an envious grandma)

[@AngelaClaytonCostumery]

Thank you! No need to be envious though, fun hair colors are for everyone regardless of age!!

[@seattlegirl2077]

@@AngelaClaytonCostumery Oh that's so true! But I mentioned I'm a grandma so you wouldn't think some guy was being weird about your appearance. Although now that I reread it, it sounds normal. Beyond your looks in this outfit, your talent is impressive. I've watched your videos from the beginning and your skills level and confidence is growing. Best wishes!

[@XChoclateThunderX]

Your shirt at the beginning is the cutest fabric I've ever seen ❤️

[@katerinabanecourt]

Honestly, that dress is GORGEOUS! It looks amazing (as does the overall ensemble)! ... Also, personally I think the slight blurriness of some of the pictures actually makes those look even prettier in a way, giving them an ethereal feel...

[@wolfco47]

It is a wonderful result! The work you put in is really really clear. I have never doubted your color choices about your projects. I find your vision and imagination when it comes to choices really inspiring. I love that you don't limit yourself even you decide on a project. I love that you choose to reach farther and try more with colors, patterns, and embellishments. Your work is art and art requires freedom to become what you envision.

[@nancywilbur8105]

I love seeing the different fabric combinations you come up with. The complexity of your sleeve design and seeing you put it together into another amazing dress-you’re amazing!!

[@carenwhite7954]

Brown is my favorite color. I love this dress so much. I can't even.

[@centurycountess4949]

It makes me think of a gown worn by Angelica Houston in the film Ever After, but with the volume of bling turned up making it extra pretty, extra elegant, and mega beautiful! The sleeves are my favorite part of the gown.

[@neontonberry]

00:38 seconds in and I absolutely ADORE the fabric of your blouse. 10/10 would make every essential piece of a wardrobe out of it.

[@fryingpan552]

I really appreciate your dedication to your project and willingness to go along for the ride when you realized your goal and plans for it had changed. The final product is absolutely stunning!

[@bonniebernido8510]

Listen. That dress gave me life. So incredibly gorgeous and perfect

[@kellye2328]

What a beautiful ensemble! I have always been partial to rich, dark browns like this, and with the silver accenting it I find this dress to be just regal!

[@elizabethsaddique1504]

Gorgeous, Just gorgeous and very Steampunk Renaissance. Its a lovely combo.

[@lillianoldham5789]

The Cartridge pleats are fabulous! So is the entire construction! Your detail oriented attitude shows thru in everything! Congratulations on your success!

[@kystarlomi]

This dress, and your makeup, make you look like you could be and Addams Family ancestor! it's awesome!

[@manicantsettleonausername6789]

You keep continuously amazing me with these wonderful projects! Throughout the video I kept falling in love with the gown again and again. I feel so grateful that an awesome seamstress like you keeps allowing us into your world and showing us your work!!

[@florindalucero3236]

I'm getting a Venetian courtesan on her way to a particularly exclusive mask ball vibe from this. Ooh yeah, maybe add one of those masks on a stick!

[@MiraScarletMade]

this gown is INSANELY stunning!! the fabric choices are incredible, love the beading and all the detail! seriously breath takingly gorgeous!

[@Coffeetogoplease933]

I absolutely love this dress! It's gorgeous from top to bottom. I learn so much about sewing through your videos and you inspire me to try to make my own historical clothing.. haven't had the guts to start yet, but it becomes more of a posibility the more I watch your videos and actually understand how things are done. Through your videos I get a much better crasp of how garments are constructed and now when sewing I suddenly have little light bulbs popping up being like 'hold on you also need to consider this etc'. I love the creative freedom you take with recreating historically inspired clothing. It allows your imagination and fancies (MORE SPARKLES) to run wild and I love that!

[@askedgeorgia17]

Angela, The outfit is utterly georgous! And so are you!🧑🏻‍🎄🥰 I love when you do these gowns! It’s a blast from the past!!💝

[@inlustrisfire]

My favorite gowns of yours are always your fantasy costumes! You are so creative and this was so much fun to watch you make something this complex and ornate.

[@beglitchery]

Goth Ever After. I thought the fabric choices were crazy at first but the finished garment is gorgeous. You have an amazing ability to see the potential in your materials.

[@jmcclellanelsner]

You were talking about the pictures not being what you wanted on the full body... I think the soft focus created makes it look more like the paintings. I actually couldn't tell it was you for a minute. I love this project!!!! Your skill amazes me with each project. Can't wait to see what you have for us next.

[@andashestoashes]

Everything about this ensemble is absolutely breathtaking. I really wish we could wear this kind of stuff every day because this is a dress I would live in. Also just to add, you look so stunning in your intro and outro! Your hair really brings out the colour of your eyes and that outfit is everything!!

[@nancyloomis3046]

Angela, What a beautiful dress. I will never be doing sewing like this...I’m a home sewist only and a barely intermediate one at that. But it’s fascinating to see you put something like this together, even though I do some fast-forwarding through some of the instruction. It’s amazing the sustained attention to detail you have. I’m an artist & crafter, so I also have attention to detail, but not the “sustained”attention to detail that you must have to ever finish a project like this. Great job👍

[@Nariasan]

I love this gown. I'm a total Cranach gown nerd, so I'm thrilled about seeing this project. It's a gorgeous fantasy Cranach and I love the colours!!

[@0threnody070]

Discounting the emerald green coat you made, this has to be the prettiest thing you’ve made. It is so gorgeous. I love the dark color palette and the attention to detail.

[@StephBer1]

Wow! Just Wow! This is so stunning. Whoever didn't like the colour combination needs to just leave it to the expert. You honestly looked like a portrait. And a stunning one at that. Well done!

[@cherylowilley6007]

Beautiful colors, beautiful fabrics. I see the brown-tones clearly. Amazing work. Sophisticated design and fabrics.

[@Wolfsbaene]

This is so stunning! It's dark, and mysterious, and broodingly solemn, but gorgeous in all the details.

[@karenramnath9993]

Love the fabric combinations. In spite of the sleeves being a wee bit long, they are impressive...puffed to perfection! 👍🏻

[@johnshepard629]

Absolutely stunning!!! If anyone is familiar with the WGN television series "Salem" , this would have been the perfect gown for the main character Mary Sibley. She was the wealthiest resident of Salem and the most powerful witch.

[@victoriad9483]

Your work is one the biggest reasons I got into sewing last year! I am currently using your McCall’s Renaissance pattern. I love to see your triumphs and trials. Keep up the amazing work!

[@AngelaClaytonCostumery]

That's awesome! Make sure to tag me in your progress if you have an instagram, I would love to see it :D

[@victoriad9483]

You replied!! I don’t currently have insta but probably will soon specifically for sew-cial networking :)

[@natalie_makes_things]

i love it! its so gothic! and also loved the quality of the full body photos, almost made it look like an oil painting which works with the aesthetic! x

[@lauragagliani4691]

The finished dress is incredible!! You look like you stepped out of a Cranach painting. I think you nailed the silhouette, and the fabric choice gives a really cool, contemporary twist without taking from the overall historical feel of the dress. I also really love the hairnet and hat combo. Great work Angela!!

[@sharbean]

Super dramatic result with the styling and lighting of the photos. Love it! Thanks as always for the vlogs following the process.

[@randihardy6642]

i'm on a re-watch binge of my favorite things you've made and this is one of them. i just LOVE THIS LOOK so much. all of the details and textures are so stunning.

[@forsafetymode]

You’re so articulate. Thanks for your very clear verbal descriptions of what you do!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

I wasn't sure about your fabric choices until I saw the pictures of you wearing the gown. It looks amazing and a hundred times better than most period drama costumes. You have a really good eye for melding historical and modern elements. Also, your new hair color is cool,

[@ontheisland2ndhand]

Wow-- This is an astonishingly beautiful gown; your filming/editing/ audio is also excellent. I appreciate the specific details about materials and processes. Thank you for posting!!

[@bnhietala]

It's GLORIOUS! The black beaded clusters were making me think of blackberries. Love it.

[@lynn858]

My cat would like to thank you especially for the fascinating hat drafting and cutting tutorial. She was utterly riveted. You're right up there with the guy who slowly cleans paintings with a cotton swab. :)

[@AngelaClaytonCostumery]

Lol! baumgartner restorations, right? I'm honored to be in the same category by your cats standards!!

[@MitsumiKory]

Absolutely beautiful, you look like a painting. Everything in this piece is wonderful, from the fabric choice to the makeup and accessories. In my top 3 of Angela's projects without a doubt!!

[@littleredsubmarine]

I can’t believe this started from bolts of standard material. Amazing.

[@tarakincade501]

Freaking gorgeous. I LOVE this color combo. Whoa those sleeves after a work of art on their own. Perfectly accessorized. I think the time on the bejeweled hair net was well worth it.

[@threadsandpurrs]

Beautiful. I wasn't the biggest fan of the dark brown/black fabric initially, but this combination turned out lovely. The portrait photos look like paintings.

[@DipityS]

Absolutely incredible, you are a wonder - look at what you did with that incredibly beautiful dress. I think people ought to have seen the pictures of what you were going for - the look you were trying to achieve before making up their minds on the fabric - I was hesitant towards the fabric at first but then you showed us the pictures and it was obvious your choice was perfect. Of course, the fact that you are making this utterly ravishing gown - so very complicated and feeling your way through it tells me all I need to know all your choices - just trust Angela Clayton - she knows what she's about. Thank you for taking on the journey to make up this lovely piece of art.

[@rudetuesday]

This might be my new favorite gown, between the unexpected color palette and the all the work on the sleeves. Absolutely stunning and so sophisticated.

[@ushere5791]

oh. my. god. angela!! you look stunning with the dark dark hair, and i'm delighted to see the fox blouse make an appearance--so cute! the gown ensemble is nothing less than magnificent. yes, it's definitely tres noir compared to your usual palette, but boy howdy, does it work together beautifully! i love all the combinations of fabrics and trims and banding and and and and! the gown looks like it's made of shape-shifting liquid metal that flows around you rather than being worn, like by us mere mortals. the portraits are stunning, and i can't wait to see even better ones. thanks so much for posting this masterpiece!!

[@jealousofhale]

Super obsessed with how it turned out!! I love the fabric choices and how they all work together. I'm very much a beginner at sewing and so the sleeves explanation went straight over my head but it turned out so cool that I want to figure out how you did it! love this whole look! Great job!

[@healinggardens-terribowlby3129]

Stunning dress. So dramatic. Looks like it should be in a movie.

[@adriannegentleman83]

Beautiful Dress and the sleeves covering the hands like that is quite accurate, for a wealthy woman, having her hands covered showed she was wealthy and didn't need to use them. quite a common thing during the middle ages and renaissance.

[@abelhapedras]

You look GORGEOUS with the dark hair!!!!! Amazing! And the eyebrows. Wow!

[@schwarzl1]

I adore your channel! If I might make a request...I would love to see a series on historical costumes from around the world. For example, a traditional Korean hanbock, a Japanese kimono, African fabrics and dresses, aboriginal headdresses...things like that! With your imagination and amazing talent, we would all learn so much and be exposed to other cultures thru your work. Think about it!

[@hazeluzzell]

That dress is absolutely amazing....I have no words. You are so talented.
