Making a Charles Worth Peacock Gown | Part Two
So - this video was supposed to go up on the 18th, for early access. But there were a few hiccups in getting it approved, so that didn't happen.
However, I'm really excited to be sharing it with all of you! This video goes through the process of finishing the underskirt for the Worth peacock gown, and making a velvet train covered in peacock feathers.
This is definitely the most time consuming project I've taken on in a long time. And I don't want to say it's been challenging - but it's definitely pushed me to work with materials I'm less familiar with, and techniques that are totally foreign to me.
But weirdly, I've really enjoyed it. Nothing has gone horribly wrong yet, so it's been fun and satisfying to see it come together and my skillset expand. Tho I'm not sure when my newfound cherub painting and feather gluing skills will come in handy!
I hope you enjoy seeing this project continue to take shape! I actually started drafting the bodice and headpiece today, so hopefully the remaining videos about this project will be coming up soon.
Here are some photos of the underskirt and train.
That is it from me, for today! But I shall have another update soon :)

It's nice that sometimes such a difficult job like this gives great pleasure, as it was with you)) The underskirt is simply amazing!
Oh my gosh, just outstanding, the detail , the material and designs. I just love it.
So good to see you back! The skirt is breathtaking so far. Looking forward to seeing how the bodice will be made!
Absolutely stunning! All the layers, details and feathers must have taken ages to complete.
Just wanted to drop in to say that I recently looked up one of your older videos as I needed a tutorial for a straw hat, and I was so surprised at the difference - your videos are so much more confident and lively and there is so much more personality in them now compared to a few years back. Don't get me wrong, I loved your videos pretty much from the start (I've been around since Tumblr days...) but it's such a joy to see a creator grow and improve so much over a relatively short span of time. Love this dress and can't wait to see it all finished!
Fantastic. What detail
Stunning!
SO BEAUTIFUL! I applaud your patience with the feathers, and the result was definitely worth it!
Wow!🐙😍🥳
LOVE this soooo much!🤩
Absolutely stunning Angela! Truly a beautiful work of art!
This is so stunning! I can't wait to see the whole dress completed - no pressure intended to you though! :-) What a time that must have been to be able to go to a ball and wear such a gown. I am sure that lady must have felt spectacular. And I am even more sure that you will look amazing in it! Will you have dark or light hair, Angela? Do you already have the full picture in mind, or do you usually keep that to the end?
Wowwwwza!!!! I don't feel like there are any words worthy of describing how truly spectacular this is! I LOVE IT!!! I know you have been very empathic toward everyone who is going through a hard time during the pandemic. I'm not sick but I want you to know that this video has completely lifted my spirits and inspired me to attempt sewing (again)! I also applaud your contributions of masks! Over 1,000?!!!! I've made about 10 and that was a feat! You are amazing!!!! I can't wait to see the rest of the outfit!!!!
Wow! Absolutley stunning! Watching your videos inspire me and teach sooooo much! You have such a talent! Watching your videos inspired me and gave the courage to pursue my passion for sewing! Sadly lessons had to be stopped because of the current situation !!!!!
