"Actually, I have a partlet, one second." Is the kind of casual sentence that really rounds out a Monday.

This collab is braking my brain. I don't know why but my brain had previously decided that Angela was very small and Morgan was tallish.......... This is clearly not the case.

Can we all just appreciate how perfectly Morgan and Angela's dresses match each other's hair? 😍

(And the skills... the result is always stunning!)

I love the side by side comparison of drafting and draping. And how you combined the good from both. This gown is stunning. Love the fun explorations you take us on Morgan.

I love how Angela is an OG on YouTube. She was one of the first people I was following on Tumblr, when she was an actual child in her bedroom sewing some awesome shit that she just kind of made up as she went. Her resourcefulness and patience stood out to me, and I didn’t really get into following anyone in historical costume on YouTube until way later, where I was delighted to recognize her and realize she was so successful in the community!

"What do you want this bodice to look like?"
"Mysteries."

Yes! I want my clothes to look like mysteries!

Turned out great! Hilariously in the thumbnail since Angela is wearing a very Morgan outfit, I failed to notice the green hair and assumed it was Morgan v Morgan 😂

To be clear, there is no such thing as "the right body" for a historical period. That's what the support garments are there for.

And I think Morgan looks amazing in every period that she's tried.
But Man! Something about the Edwardian shit waist and skirt combo! That's it for me! I love it so much!

When I started sewing I thought drafting seemed terribly intimidating while draping looked intuitive. But once I tried them I found drafting felt like a magical spell to make flat things have shape, while draping was more like slippy slidey guess work. Also, bodice and pant blocks just seemed like the way to go for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with nonstandard proportions.

Love seeing Angela collabs; she has an immense wealth of sewing knowledge. Also, the finished product and the hair is absolutely beautiful!

I know Angela has said before that she’s tall but it’s hard to understand until you see her next to someone else. Which I realize I’ve never seen before. I really love this dress. It’s amazing 🤩 Y’all did an amazing job

I thought the final would be in the white-cream colour range, but then you bring out the classic Morgan Donner red :D. Those velvet roses are gorgeous! That bodice triangle pocket thing is also inventive, glad to see it works!

Gorgeous! You saved that velvet for the perfect project. Have so much fun at the ball!

I was really surprised that Angela is so much taller than Morgan, she just always struck me as dainty in her own videos!!

The gown looks STUNNING 🤩 The velvet additions are so elegant and stately! Fabulous work! And your up-do is so cute ☺️ I love the way the curly bangs frame your face

If you ever speak to Angela tell her we miss her!

It’s so different to medieval sewing, they had really long straight seams, and this is heaps of small ones, tiny dart here tiny dart there, here a dart there a dart everywhere a dart dart! 😂😂😂😂

I’m getting Anne of green gables vibes from that sweater 😊

Where is Angela? Isn’t she making videos anymore? Miss her

This was very interesting to see your process and the resulting gown is wonderful. With respect to you both, for me personally, Angela's draping is beyond amazing. Something about her approach creates a  very flattering, sumptuous shape and brings out the beauty of the fabrics. She would have been in BIG demand during this time period. I hope she has an equally gifted friend to drape her gowns. Side story .. my mother always told me to choose the hair stylist with the worst hair cut in a salon because they were the gifted ones cutting everyone else's hair. Of course, I expect ALL the ball gowns at the grand event will be works of art and look forward to seeing videos and stills.
