Fun story: A lot of Gerwig's Little Women was filmed in my town of Harvard, MA because Louisa May Alcott spent part of her childhood at the Fruitlands Utopia community. So, for about a month, our tiny town center was transformed to look like the 1860s, and there were people just going about their filming days in giant 1860s hoop skirts! It was amazing! (oh and also my calculus teacher almost got arrested trying to get a picture of Meryl Streep)

I agree!! It's been a LONG time since the Oscars were a venue that recognized talent. They give out Oscars to those they WANT to give Oscars to and not necessarily to those who deserve it. If they miss giving out an Oscar to some deserving actor one year because they''re giving out a 'gratuitous' Oscar for some political reason, they'll give it to him/her the next time regardless...or they may just ignore the person because they're spiteful. The movie industry is very childish - not child like, childish. Sad.

I am currently sitting in my new house with little furniture and tv, but we do have WIFI. Therefore I have taken it upon myself to introduce my parents to CosTube. Their responses, mom "OMG so pretty and she's so beautiful, wait is that bias binding I've done that before", dad, "you can see how much time she put into this by the fact her nail polish color changed three times".

I like how you referenced a passage from the Little Women book about the impression Amy gave of being "enveloped in a diaphanous cloud, and floated airily". You really caught the feeling of Amy and I love the color.

I was hoping to make my wedding dress (over the course of 8+ months) and have it modeled after 1860s gowns. This certainly gives me a realistic vision of what to expect! Fantastic timing!

The evening bodice with the short sleeves is so darling, I can't stop looking at it either. What a beautiful color too, it goes so well with your skin tone. The light blue color, the white details, I imagine the light in a ballroom would hit the shiny trims and make you sparkle like water droplets that get hit by the sun - so stunning :) Just a little heads up: In your description, the link to your sewing book recommendations is underneath the "What scissors do you use?" question, instead of under the sewing books question. Not a big mistake but I was confused there for a second :'D

The issue you had at 20:43.... whenever I have that zipper foot on it changes the foot pressure distribution and I find that I need to adjust it sometimes higher to produce a smooth seam.

CONGRATS on an amazing sponsorship/partnership and WOW this project is just stunning!

I breathed a sigh of relief when you said your mom helped with the hand sewing. For your sanity! Wow! Amazing job.

Thank you for making a historically accurate Amy dress, I think they could have put slightly more effort into this. Some friends of mine went in their 1860's dresses to the Cinema and were kind of disappointed.

The costuming is actually awful. You can’t tell when it takes place. Many dress choices for locations do not make sense. They are a poor family why do they have so many extravagant dresses rather than just a few pieces styled differently together. Even if one would try to excuse it as stylistic choice you can still be accurate to the mindset of the period without being historical accurate. It was trust disappointing

@@fightmefairy yup. You can switch around dresses between sisters if all. Or even have like 2 tops per skirt (since obviously less fabric) If they were rich it would've made more sense to have a big closet. But really it's a peeve of mine with most movies. If it's over multiple weeks and they never wear the same thing. Like not really normal. Of course sometimes straying away from accuracy makes sense. Like if something is scandalous and its showing ankles or whatever, lifting that hem more because like people today don't even really notice ankles

When I said disappointed I meant it with strong feeling as I didn't want to go on a rant about how awful my friends (and myself) felt after watching the movie. It was ruined for them because every time something meaningful happened, we were distracted by the idiocies throughout. However I wanted to put it a more delicate manner as you can understand.

Congratulations for such a partnership! The dress is beautiful 😍

This dress is AMAZING!! How perfect for Amy, I always loved her even though I related more to Meg (I’m the oldest sister of a big family), and this dress is essentially exactly what I’ve always pictured her in, though I never could’ve translated it this well. Absolutely 10/10 amazing job on this. Side note, I would love to see a video about where/how you store all of the garments you’ve made! Every time you make something large and elaborate like this all I can think is “... her closet must be bursting at the seams” 😂😂

Congratulations on the sponsorship!! The dress is amazing and my daughter said its a princess dress.

That was sooooo much hand sewing, I would've gone mad a third of the way through that hand sewing, but brilliant outcome! SO MUCH SPARKLE!!

Both versions of the gown are gorgeous. The headpiece is lovely too. You should be proud of the work you've done.

The video has just stared and you've already taken my breath away...

When I saw the the thumbnail in my feed I said OMG ...the Queen strikes again 👑

Oh my goodness woman you are simply amazing to tackle such a project…… that dress is absolutely stunning!

Seriously, you make this look too easy. I’m not even remotely a “beginner” seamstress, but I know this was very complicated and time consuming. You really are very talented.

Wow. WOW. WOW! I have no idea how many times I said wow while watching this video, but it was a lot! I know the desiger won an award for costumes in this movie, but it is possible you outdid her! Bravo! Seriously impressive!

It is so beautiful congratulations you did a wonderful dress.

I really enjoyed both the evening & day gown versions...can't choose between them. grin. I second a comment I saw about how despite having Sooo many bows it still doesn't look 'too much'. Usually I don't even like bows but I think these really look well. Great job!

What a beautiful gown! I would love to have seen this in the film. It reminds me of a moment in the book where Amy in Paris is getting ready for a local party that Laurie is going escort her to. She had been given an old silk dress from her cousin Flo. Amy took inexpensive materials and succeeded in embellishing the dress and making it work for her. When Laurie arrived to take her to the party, Amy also succeeded in winning Laurie's admiration. It was perhaps the first time he realized what a lovely woman Amy had become.

Sony SHOULD sponsor you! They probably wish they'd hired you as the film's costume designer. Your skills are far more comprehensive than the recipient of that shameful Oscar.

I would have loved to see you walking around in the gown. It’s just so beautiful

Breath taking beautiful dress. I love the fabrics and trims. That printed bow fabric is gorgeous. The balance of lace beaded flowers is exquisite. Well done on a fantastic project. You amaze me!

I love how unabashedly enthusiastic you are about all the sparkly things. You are my sparkly soul sister.

Oh my goodness, this dress is brilliant and everything a dress should be. An absolute work of art!!!

May you be rewarded for every tiny hand stitch. Aaaahhhh she should be on a form in the middle of a very large Edwardian living room for everyone to enjoy... or better yet.

I used to make fashion dolls and dress them in period clothing that I made. All the way from underclothes to gowns and hats and parasols. I especially loved the gowns with bustles. I've never made them for adults. I admire your attention to detail and finishing work. Great job!!

Holy cow Angela!!! This ensemble is a confectionery cloud of beauty. Just...wow!

WOW! What a great dress, and what a great sponsorship! So many congratulations! Also I learned something new! I didn't know the dresses with interchangeable bodices were called transformation dresses - my first thought was that it was going to be one of those dresses that transform into a completely different dress, like the princess dresses Designer Daddy makes (as well as others.)

...I didn't need a new project to add to the "to be sewn" pile, but here we are 😂 that is absolutely gorgeous ❤

I'll admit, I'm not thrilled about the addition of polyester trim and plastic sequins, but can't deny the end result is very very pretty! (And very very You!) I'd personally go for a more toned down gown, even for the evening version. But this isn't about me, it's about two ladies who love sparkles: Angela and Amy!

All of your garments are fantastic, but this one makes me feel like I've seen it in a fashion exhibit at a national gallery somewhere. It is amazing. It is a fantastic rendition of Amy, I think this is exactly the dream she had in her head throughout the story.

I'm out of breath watching you!! So beautifully done. I think you were given the correct character in Amy and you did a splendid job.

This dress is so stunning!! The color, the trimming, all just so beautiful!!

Hi Angela, I just want to say thank you. I found your channel by accident and it was the best I've done for myself in a while. You have single handedly inspired me to get back into sewing vintage clothes. I used to be very skinny in high school, like 28 inch waist with average b cups. Fast forward 8 years and 50 pounds later, nothing I loved to wear or made myself fit me or even came close bc of weight in my stomach and my chest exploding into double d cups. So I've spent all of my professional career years just wearing whatever I could find that would fit me only to find i gree out of it a couple months later due to depression related eating habits. I had no hobbies I enjoyed anymore bc I just didn't see the point. This caused my professional career to suffer as well bc I just couldn't make myself care about anything bc I didn't really care about myself. I recently bought a dress that was too small on me but I just had to have it bc I thought I'd lose the weight to fit. Surprise, I didn't lose any. So I looked up videos a few weeks ago to refresh my mind on sewing and enlarging garments. This is how I found you and your videos. I can't stop watching, you are so inspiring to me! I was able to alter my dress and now I'm going through all my old vintage clothes and I am going to try to alter as many as I can so I can enjoy wearing clothes again. Thank you so much for just doing what you do, you've given me my hobbie back and part of myself back. Thank you

How incredible! Bravo Angela.

The amount of detail you put into the dress, how educated yet easy to understand you explain the process and talk about the period the dress is meant to represent. It left me speechless and listening to you calms me down as well. Very thankful for this video this morning, wasn't a good night.

My favourite is the evening gown, too - though the daytime bodice is also to die for - but those tiny little darling sleeves in the evening bodice were just lovely and I adore them so much - the whole project is exquisite - and you look utterly gorgeous in it - the colour does absolutely amazing things for you - I'm so impressed by this whole thing. You're a magician of fabric!

I love this! I re-read Little Women a few weeks ago, and Amy is my favorite March sister. She has the most personal growth, and the most acceptance and compassion for the people around her, no matter how much they try her patience.

this whole ensemble is [chef kiss]. so perfect! she exactly exemplifies every goal you set out for her. brava, dear angela!

Goodness me! While I know I will never use/sew many of the projects you show in your videos/tutorials, I am absolutely taken by your skills, passion, details, imagination, patience and execution. You are a beautiful, smart young lady. Thank you for taking your time to make all those wonderfully exciting and interesting videos.

Over 50 years ago, I read "Little Women" under the covers with a flashlight (I was SUPPOSED to be sleeping), because I couldn't put the book down. Thank you for actualizing my vision of Amy March! Jo was my favorite, because our personalities were similar. I could see her climbing trees in a petticoat, much the same way I did in dresses with frilly slips underneath.

Thank you so much for sharing this project with us. I love everything about this costume including the sparkles, bows, sequins, ruffles...and both bodices. I can't decide which bodice I prefer - they are both beautiful! You look absolutely gorgeous! Well done! Stay safe. Warm wishes from Down Under🇦🇺😊🌸✂️📍👒👠👗😎

I have seen all of the pieces now and I must say - you did this. So glamorous and frilly. Perfect.
