This week I work on an 1890s bodice, some crazy puffed sleeves, lots of beading, and an 18th century ensemble!
...
Soo this was filmed back in January. I edited it last month but never posted it since I felt it was kind of…boring, I guess? I get really critical when i’m out of the habit of doing something (especially with writing, which is why blogging is a constant battle) and over these past few weeks i’ve discovered I have a similar problem when it comes to editing. I’ve tried filming and editing several videos and haven’t been happy with them, even though they are similar to things i’ve posted and have received positive feedback on in the past. So that’s a big part of the reason why my channel has been empty recently.
But i’m trying to push through that! And I think posting this is my first step towards getting back into the “swing of things”. I have three videos filmed right now - a headpiece tutorial and two “Making of” videos about a medieval cotehardie.
Plus several videos that I plan on filming soon - including a video about my research process, a costume spotlight, and the promised etsy haul. I’m trying to focus personal projects right now, so I can’t promise weekly videos just yet but hopefully i’ll have something to post two or three times a month. I really appreciate the patience and i’m sorry i’ve been such a fail when it comes to posting so far this year!

Like most of my recent uploads, this video has been marked as not suitable for all advertisers. This means ads are less likely to play on it; and if they do, they will pay less.
It is also recommended less since the algorithm thinks it has violent or inappropriate content, leading to fewer lifetime views.
Ad revenue doesnt cover material costs for most projects featured in videos under the best of circumstances. With this one it probably wont even cover the cost of notions. Contributions really help with my motivation and actual ability to continue making videos.

![Attempting to Make an 18th Century Dress
Do you ever get so excited to skip some of the early *really important* steps? This project is a prime example of that. But I learned some stuff from it, so all is not lost!
BLOG POST WITH MORE INFO: https://angelacostumery.com/2017/12/16/a-purple-linen-18th-century-dress/
Also - Im really not looking for people to tell me it looks fine and Im being too hard on myself. Its cool if you feel that way, but there is a lot wrong with the fit of this (more than is necessarily visible in the included photos, they were taken to make it look good, after all).
I know I can do better, and I know what went wrong. Acknowledging that is important for me to improve moving forward. Im not upset about the flaws, just very aware of them!! And that attitude helps me avoid those mistakes in the future.

Mentioned:
The linen was purchased from Jo-anns
I buy plastic boning from onlinefabricstore.net

About me:
My name is Angela Clayton, I’m a twenty year old designer and seamstress who is currently living on Long Island, in NY.
I’ve been sewing for five years and focused on period costumes and original designs for the last three. I make costumes for fun and to expand my skill set so I can hopefully get a job in the industry someday.
