Making a Striped Sack Back Gown | 18th Century

[@TemariNaraannaschatz]

Honestly you look like a painting in that dress.

[@OddlyElly]

I was thinking that, too! Just stunning :)

[@abijohnson7484]

Literally tho. She look ridonk good!! 😍😍

[@eqqies3196]

Yes Angela I can hear that very quiet pirates of Caribbean music 😂😂

[@screetchycello]

egg I had to pause/unpause the video to make sure 😂

[@PoisonTheOgres]

Was it quiet enough to avoid the copyright claims though?

[@viviawaag863]

I think it’s one of those “copy cat” music, that is available from the youtube music library. 😂

[@amandaminder6038]

Yes it’s so similar but not quite the same. Royalty free

[@dannyphantom4829]

omg i thought i heard wrong :D

[@Siansonea]

In what world is this not flattering? I think it looks awesome on you.

[@belindacoba5158]

I though the same!! She looks beautiful!! The dress is astonishing!!!, I know they are not black and white stripes... but this dress could easily join the Karolina Zebroska strippychallenge...

[@fuyukazemi]

I can see what she means, the Regency style looks good on many,,but only looks amazing on a few. Angela is a little too tall and a touch too wide for the "ideal fit" I.e. the women who were traditionally smaller and shorter during this era.

[@emolorin1070]

"and a hammer, which I got for Christmas one year" -- there's something so reassuring in knowing that I'm not the only one who got given a Christmas hammer when I was young? I loved this dress, your work with stripes is always so incredibly impressive, and I'm in awe every time I watch you work.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Stripes are difficult enough when they are straight, much less diagonal on the fabric! You're awesome! It's worth all the effort you put into the matching & cutting. Love the chevron it makes pointing up the sleeves.

[@vickinoeske1711]

The fabric is perfect for the dress. I love seeing the stripes line up exactly in different directions.

[@sweets6259]

Love the look ! Also, with this fabric, the dress has a slight steampunk feel to it. Probably due to the pirate rebel feel as well. Lovely piece!

[@oliquin-roo3420]

You have a perfect cutting technique, using weights instead of pins, heavy (and beautiful) fabric shears and long confident cuts. This technique is true to high fashion and couture dress making. It's so rare to find videos implementing this basic cutting process and thought you deserve credit for it.

[@lala_bee]

Oh my God Angela, you are SO hard on yourself! What you're doing is not easy, and not just anyone can roll up to a sewing machine and create and execute what you have. No shame in taking credit for that. I always look forward to your posts because they are inspirational.

[@dymphygoossens]

I love the way the dress moves. Almost like the sails. Of that ship on your head. :D

[@clarence5211]

oh my god those stripes!! i love that you’re doing an era we don’t see that often in historical costuming, it looks great on you!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Your historical costumes never fail to impress.

[@bessiebigsis782]

I wish you’d do a video on how you learned all your sewing skills, including pattern making. BTW. This dress looks amazing on you.

[@flowerbottom1974]

She's mostly self taught but if you check out her blog, you can see her process to now and she use to do a lot of book reviews on there. So those might help!

[@IteMaledicti]

I adore this outfit! it's rare I see someone so capable of pulling off that waistline but here you are, flaunting it!

[@glass-rodeo]

Angela: which striped dress should I make? Also Angela: yes.

[@mandyr]

Your cutting (and gathering) confidence shows your absolutely mastery. It's like watching a master chef use their knife flawlessly.

[@blue_mara]

The beach was a perfect place to take those photos! I love it

[@googlethis313]

My winter sowing project is making myself a whole wardrobe in an 18th and 19th centuries inspired style. Keeping everything in 100%-60/40% cotton and cotton/poly blend fabrics, I want them to all be “layerable” so that they can be worn all year round. I do believe my dear you just inspired a Sunday dress for my new soon to be wardrobe. You are a true inspiration. I appreciate seeing someone like myself that doesn’t use patterns doing it successfully. Thank you! ❤️, A Sewing Dorothy In Kansas P.s Why does one sleeve seem to always go on easily and the other problematic? Lol I have the same issue myself.

[@alibabafurball]

I have seen prints from the Victorian magazines that look very similar i was just looking at today!!! You nailed it!!! The stripes line up VERY well and look amazing. I can see a very rich lady in Victorian times wearing this at the beach or for in the morning while getting hair done at home.

[@dayzemae9015]

Somewhere in time... (we are in awe of your sewing talents)💕

[@horror8083]

Not flattering?! This is absolutely STUNNING! You did such a great job creating this work of art! Have a lovely day, you have certainly earned it!

[@Notlost-lj9qt]

Makes me think of the Stripey challenge from Karolina Z. Beautiful dress!

[@neenmach]

OmG! What a beautiful gown!! And the odd looks were just jealousy they did think to wear some just as beautiful that day!

[@HumbleVoyager]

The dress turned out gorgeous and that hat...no words...wow...I have no words to adequately describe how fantastic is that hat! Thanks for the video. 😎

[@StellaAlda]

For every time I watch one of your videos (or any of the other amazing ladies of the sewing trade) I get a little smarter and wiser and more confident in my own creations. So thank you a million! Your videos are truly inspiring!

[@jivingdodo]

Wow. Just wow. Didn’t realise you drafted these yourself as well as making them. Stunning! Keep up the great work 😊

[@googlethis313]

Joanna Aked I’m pretty sure she makes patterns for a well known pattern company. She designs them, they simplify them and then distribute. I think it’s McCall patterns but don’t quote me on that last bit. She’s so very inspiring!

[@Lic021]

@@googlethis313 yeah it's mccall's, she's under the 'designer' section on their website

[@Lic021]

the M7826 pattern she mentions when cutting the sleeves is one of hers

[@Anniekyriakakis]

It is definitely McCalls!!

[@afreaknamedallie1707]

Just know that from an outside perspective, that dress absolutely flatters you! This might be one of my favorites of yours yet!

[@schwaben4120]

Yess! I missed your historical projects so much!

[@gi2983]

I just love the subtle pirate of the carabean kinda music in the background

[@repairtech9320]

All that prep. work really comes through in the final product. Thank you for the orientation sketches. It's helps a lot to understand and follow along.

[@prentesseogorman577]

Your choice of background for this dress is perfect. The "strange looks" were sheer jealousy!

[@daisanders82]

Such a lovely transitional gown!

[@ShushLorraine]

Wow, AMAZING! I recognized that *Pirates of the Caribbean* music right away. Good choice.

[@OddlyElly]

Hecking love the drawings! Those were such a cute touch when many creator would have just explained what they did without the visual aid. The dress is super cute on you! It gives you a refined, elegant air 😊

[@michellecornum5856]

I ADORE those two fabrics together. I always used to think of sack backs as the most impossibly hard dress to do, and you make it look like it's sooo easy. You keep this nonsense up and I'm going to end up with a sack back dress hanging in my closet, too. You are FABULOUS!!!!!

[@lauraweiss7875]

This video is genius. Just that tip of how to get your stripes symmetrical is worth the watching.

[@jengrenko]

Your skills never cease to amaze and you look just perfect in this dress.

[@marta_sanders]

Oh this is so beautiful. That last photo from the back is glorious! I love the movement of the dress

[@janiekrig5232]

Super engineering! Great project and finish.

[@suerainey9250]

This dress is DELIGHTFUL! Watching you sew is amazing to me.

[@catherinelevison3310]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!! The fabrics are gorgeous together and you are breathtakingly pretty. I personally love sewing and homemade clothes. I love period clothing and admire and encourage all of us who want to...to have the freedom to dress the way we want. So inspirational!!

[@yx6889]

I love the look of the sack back dresses... they're so cute! Wish it would come back in style, lol

[@kscheuerman5378]

This dress is wonderful & looks great on you!! I love your fabric choices, I love your hat, & I love your theme. (Pirates!) I think the beach was a perfect place to take your pictures, even before I knew the theme.Thanks for sharing your video. Take care and God Bless.

[@nickiecarlson1837]

I have been eagerly anticipating this ship/pirate dress! The end result did not fail expectations at all! Bravo!!

[@fuyukazemi]

I'm getting Mrs Lovett vibe from this, especially you at the beach in that attire. Lovely

[@1minigrem]

Stunning gown and the hat crowns it perfectly.

[@Gandellion]

Oh I'm glad you're using this pretty stripe fabric, I've been looking forward to seeing what you make with this!

[@pepparker6747]

The dress and you are quite lovely. Don't run yourself down. You are amazing.

[@robyn3349]

A beautiful dress, the back is breathtaking!

[@zocansew]

OH MY GOD. YOU LOOK SO GOOD. THE DRESS LOOKS SO GOOD. THE STRIPES MATCH UP. I LOVE IT.

[@mindofmarissa9399]

The whole outfit was amazing BUT the hat was the best whimsical styling! Loved it!

[@ruthmerriner8064]

Everything to admire in the lovely gown and the beautiful hat. Wow!

[@suecox2308]

The late 18th century was a beautiful period for women's clothing and you've captured the elegance and gentle beauty perfectly. I watch a number of sewing and crafts channels, and I'd like to add that watching you use a decent pair of scissors actually designed for the use you put them to is a pleasure in itself! (And your hat is fabulous!)

[@erzsblasfantaven3334]

the pics withe the sea background look glorious

[@tigersinlondon2152]

this is So black sails i love it so much

[@debrakimdk6143]

I absolutely love !!👑💟 Stripes and plaids are my favorite⏩such statement designs!! Plaids are so dismissed along with strips✂so 70ish!! RIGHT!! I notice you lean toward stripes too!! You did a great job and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY👍✂💟☕💟looks lovely! Would love to see you sew with a plaid from one of your last plaid hauls! Yes I need to see how you assembled the hat!! Love it👑💟from your loyal patron💟👑✂☕

[@argheimrobb]

You are beautiful, and even more in this dress! I am so amazed by the ease you am have in making such complex garments. I've started doing my own skirts and clothes thanks to you 💗

[@susanlein7849]

So lovely!! Your dedication to stripe matching blows me away!

[@jackiejames4551]

It's really cute. I think you did a great job with it.

[@designdoctor247]

Wow ...just 👏 wow 🏆

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Lovely dress. The stripes look great with the trim and contrast fabric.

[@robinr.770]

This is just gorgeous. Please tell me this one will be printed and published like your other one was. Outstanding workmanship. Thank you.

[@0halibut0]

Hooray for another historical sewing adventure! :) Thanks for posting.

[@munka214]

Love this dress Angela!! Why wouldn't the beachgoers be jealous of your hat? It's fantastic!

[@Gun5hip]

Oh idk I think this style looks flattering on you and I love the pirateyness of it.

[@meepMepp]

That looks so cool! I didn't know i needed a pirate late 18th century dress in my life, but you've enlightened me

[@ElleAngelNight]

That hat is everything

[@aestheticallyaspiring2692]

How u matched all those stripes and did this is magic, what a beautiful project😍

[@daneekaplan4284]

I love the silhouette of that dress. Great job

[@wowzieee]

Wow, this is so beautiful. You are creating great pieces. You'll need a museum soon.

[@VereskVeil]

You are beautiful in this dress, the colour palette looks pretty good, the mood is here, and the hat suits you so much

[@jennieheartzu1]

Such a beautiful dress!!! I love the stripes!!!

[@tracieeaton1082]

You make this all look so easy. What a fantastic gown and hat.

[@suzannegregory3109]

I am in awe of your skills. I think this is a fabulous look for sea side shenanigans. All you need is an eyepatch.

[@jillniemczynski5517]

Wow. Just wow. Can't wait to see your hat. 💙👍

[@nathalieduran7355]

It's gorgeous and you are one amazingly talented costumer.

[@tracydean3678]

Beautiful! You are back in time.👍 you are so talented, love seeing everything you make.

[@deborahmartyn97]

I love your creativity for its own sake

[@spatch1000]

Stunning, stunning, stunning!!! I am hoping you will make this into a pattern for McCalls. Combination of prints really takes this garment out of the ordinary. Thank you for sharing!!

[@MitsumiKory]

I LOVE that dress Angela! One of the prettiest you've made in a while, for me at least

[@seattlegirl2077]

On this is all SORTS OF WONDERFUL! I only wish you had a picture that shows the back from straight on.

[@brittamai5367]

It is very beautiful. Once more, you are making magic. And I can't understand how you can do this in such short intervalls? So many dresses and videos and all of them stunning special and fitted to your body, an experienced way of working, that I never could wish for, because it is so dificult!

[@divergentone7491]

Much respect Angela. Your skills are off the chart.

[@minkaf4243]

Love it! Good choice on music too! My favorite shot is the back view with the pleats ballooning with the ocean breeze. Looking forward to hearing about the hat. Brava, Angela!

[@ellenrose2533]

Beautiful dress. Thanks for filming your process, so interesting.

[@rlundquest]

You look amazing! I absolutely love this dress. I love the attention to detail, especially with the lining of the stripes.

[@Chibihugs]

This is such a fun, wonderful look. I think you look grand and best keep a look out for pirates, being such a fancy lady

[@cynthiabasil8356]

Looks great 👍 the beach makes me think of the scene in Sweeny Todd with Mrs. Lovett at the beach in the gorgeous Victorian swim costume.

[@mopsahackett8041]

Love the pink hammer 🔨 x love the crochet lace

[@RunaaSteinamrk]

The drawings were actually helpful for me to understand 🙂 And this dress is just absolutely gorgeous 😍 and you are gorgeous in it.

[@annd.h.1336]

So BEAUTIFUL!! So incredibly talented

[@kellygeorge7464]

That dress is beautiful

[@msluvlee717]

That’s a beautiful dress and an awesome hat.

[@mariemason4252]

Angela, you're wrong....you look BEAUTIFUL in this dress!!!!!💚💜😊

[@Nevturiel]

LOOOVE this dress!! I'd love to buy this pattern, any chance you'd pitch it to McCall's and they'd make it?

[@iamtheonewhocares]

I wish this had a pattern so bad!! This is like my dream dress. It's beautiful! You did a wonderful job!

[@lorilynch9548]

Cool project. Love the black trim

[@dianavoermans]

This is wonderful again! 🤩💃🏻

[@mnels5214]

LOVE! And, the pirate music = perfect

[@christineingram55]

You look so beautiful in the dress ..it is beautifully made and goes well with the hat too 😀
