Making a Historically Accurate Rapunzel Inspired Renaissance Gown!
After literal months in the making, here is an extra long video about making a very extra dress!
Fabric and fit issues plagued this project, but in the end I’m really happy with it. I think it is beautiful and I love the colors, textures, and finished result! It is a way better outcome than I had expected, given the frustration it provided at times.
My next project will hopefully go much faster - and then I’ll be getting to work on a pink and white ensemble from a fabric that won a poll. Both those projects will feature in vlogs, so hopefully those videos will be much faster to edit, too!
This one had ninety minutes of footage when it was roughly cut down (the raw footage was eight HOURS or so), and a similarly lengthy voice over. Everyday over the last week I’ve been like “I’m going to finish this today” — but today is finally the day where it is finished!
I hope it is enjoyable, and hopefully I will have another video up for early access before the end of the month. Because I’ve actually finished and filmed TWO projects this month!

Sequins and Sparkle It is super!!!
I'd love to see a video on sequins. Your collection, how you organize them, types, tips for sewing them. I'm wanting to start a sequin/beading project and I'm scared.
Amazing!
Its so so pretty. Would you consider doing a replica costume from Shadow and Bone next? Its my new favourite fantasy show on netflix and I think you'd make such an amazing costume inspired by it!
Your eye for detail is nice. I love the color.
stunning!
beautiful 👍🏻✨
This dress is so beautiful Angela! And it's inspired me to go sew some sequins onto projects I am working on.
Yeeessss another masterpiece! Well done, this dress is sooo dreamy and wonderful. And I love your fabric choices, those silks and sparkles are beautiful! I sometimes click ahead on sewing videos, but here the fabrics were so mesmerizing to look at and your voiceover is always sassy and funny, so it was a joy to be along for the ride. Well done!
This is seriously beautiful! You did an amazing job and I know you have an extra critical eye of your own work but seriously, amazing job! By far my favorite of the whole group of historically inspired Disney gowns. You are seriously hilarious as well and I live for your Angieisms when sewing.
This dress is just so delightful!!
I love this, so beautiful!!!
This dress is so exceptionally beautiful.
It turned out so good! I know it was a struggle to find the right materials/ colours, but it was absolutely worth it!!! Such a gorgeous interpretation of Rapunzels gown :)
I absolutely love this!!!!!
I love this dress, you are an inspiration
This gown is unbelievably lovely!!!!!! This was so much fun to watch.
How I felt you at that bobbin moment :-( But it turned out so, so pretty! I just love it. And I feel like if anyone from the renaissance had access to sequins, I am positive there would have been sequins on EVERYTHING. I mean they are so shiny!
I'm so excited to watch this one! Making different Rapunzel costumes is my raison d'être at this point, I've done so many. I'm never tired of seeing new versions of her and this one is so lovely, especially those sleeves.
One of these centuries, someone is going to look at your costumes as extent garments and find sharpie everywhere inside. Jokes aside, this is such a dreamy dress
It came out really nice!
This turned out perfectly! I love it!
