(note I disagree with these running large - I'm a 10 in EVERYTHING and these in 9.5 are too small for me. Like blisters that turn into wounds that bleed through my socks within 20 minutes small...)



The cotton dress fabric was from Znicks
yellow buttons from a vintage shop in PA
floral bow fabric from jo-anns
floral pink lining from jo-anns

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (amazon prime original)
"The Crown" (netflix original)

Book: Practical Dress Design :Principals of Fitting and Pattern Making by Mabel D. Irwin (the designs are more authentic to the 30's when it was originally printed but the bodices are quite forward thinking)

Youtube likes to mark my videos as 'not suitable for all advertisers' because its algorithm is broken. Ad revenue doesn't cover material costs for most projects featured in videos; much less a wage for the time spent filming and editing.

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.
