Great video! But, do you know where I could get a one-piece slip on version of this style? i.e. the "facade" version?

Do you know why the hats had such high crowns in that time period?

Would you only wear the ruff when showing off in public, or around the house? I assume people didn't eat wearing a ruff, did they? 🤔

This makes me so grateful for buttons 😅 This bright so much life to illustrations, thank you very much!

The older she became the more need to take up space to give appearance of power. She had neither husband or children to give sense of power so she relied on fashion to give it to her. The originator of dress for success!

So the fashion in the late 1500s was to look fat. I think I need to go back LOL😂❤

Beautiful work! Came here for the stays, but OMG!!! What pattern did you use for the dress at the end???

Beautiful; thank you for sharing and a special thanks for including the disclaimer about the context of style and substance. I can appreciate the beauty and practicality of such garments as pliable tools and visual representations of the personas people used to project themselves as they would have liked to be seen or dismissed based on SES that often gets overlooked as so many people are quick to romanticize styles and dismiss the societal norms (substance) of how so many humans were mu#*er:d, mistreated, and maligned

I like the earlier styles better. Those ruffs are ugly imho

I counted at least 14 pieces of clothing 🤦🏻‍♀️ I live in Georgia, where it's around 98°F in the summer. I would have died!!

I totally did NOT just pause Downton Abbey to look up this topic and watch this video...😶😶😶

I was once invited to a “70’s Theme” party. So I attended dressed for the 1770’s.

Honestly this look kinda goes off? I need to see it more in videogames or something...

What type of fabric did you use for your mourning outfit ❤

11:15 yeh I don’t fuss about with maths when when sewing either 😂🙈

I love your experimentation approach. Both are absolutely beautiful interpretations and great video, too! Thank you for taking the time to share all this information. The fold makes perfect sense to me and do you think the fold might also provide a practical purpose of hiding some pins or fastenings??

in 1976 I touched the wedding dress of Marie Antoinette in Mary's birth church in Vienna. her mother loved that chapple and had the dress made into sacred liturgical vestments. it's there in a closet in the treasury. I got to see it because the priest let us in after we sang a mass from the choir.

THANK YOU!

It was interesting to learn that some women found a way around not being able to afford a full mourning dress by getting accessories that took up a smaller amount if fabric. Certainly a shawl would give the effect well. Was black yarn as expensive as the fabric or would it have been cheaper to obtain and use to knit or crochet accessories?

I always enjoy watching your videos! They are so detailed taking me through the project one step at a time! Thank you!

Do you put interfacing in the back as well?

once you finished forming the ruffles i understood why people used to wear the ruff collars.. they are so beautiful and delicate . they are magical. completely changed my view of them. thanks for sharing !!

"Body modesty wasn't a thing as we know it" HAH. . . get your head out of the French court and look around. . . . you had your head in the sand?

What pattern did you use for your kirtle and gown?

Every time I see this style of old medieval tudor clothing style the only thing I can ever think of is how on Earth did the women manage to avoid unexpected peek-a-boo moments with their dresses? After all those dresses are cut very low and also cut very wide across the top of the twins so how did they manage to not have an unexpected moment of exposure with the dresses I'll never understand that.

Thanks for post this very informative video on mourning clothing. I remember a very close friend of our family though he was more like family to us told me that when he was a young man he remembered very well people wearing black when there was a death in their family especially when it was in their immediate family......

Measurements?

I love this time period the most, probably for the clothing itself. I think I would probably end up as a working woman, so I loved watching all the different styles of clothing. Have a nice day/night!

When I was little, I wanted to be alive in the 18th and 19th centuries just for the clothing. Now I'm 63 and it seems like a lot to throw on a t-shirt and shorts!

Amazing!! God bless you and your skills!

KITTY

Excellent work

Your cat is precious!

Thank you for this video! I usually have to do 19th and 20th century for work, but this is my favorite era to sew clothing for! I usually go to events in 16-teens/early 1620's in honor of the Merrymount community. Today it's Quincy, MA.

Really useful info! Thank you!

I love this.

sorry I don't know why but that looks like a pilgrim to me.

I love this. I can’t wait to make the ruff. I made a lot of clothes for Williamsburg and for the Civil War reenactment when I was young I also did a lot of German clothing for the Shenandoah valley of Virginia. I guess you can tell. I’m from Virginia. I live in front Royal.

Do not compare your else

So many layers! I love being able to see what the average Regency Era woman wore.

It would be amazing to wear such a gown .. it's absolutely beautiful with all its intricate layers .. would make a fabulous wedding dress in the winter with snow on the ground .. golds and whites to make a modern twist. You are truly talented Samantha.

Do you have videos on the construction of clothing including stays for this video?

Uuuuuuh I love it, and I love more because it is cat approved; best consiglierie. At present I am in my first 2 m sewing ever with only the ZWIRN, needle and the slight yellow big piece of material (second opportunity after a job I did as I waitress - decoratiion light covering) I am longing for purchasing cuttings? garment and so on... So hopefully this site will still be available during spring and summer of 2024. I am pretty convinced for my purposes and sensitive skin and nervs and energy field - this dress will be a fine compagnion for a long long time... thank you and the lovely cat, bye bye Crissy

You never should fear any competencia regarding your shape or wonderful cloths. What a smart equipment for all days? I would appreciate some of the details. So I am looking forward to catching the video to which you have made references. Oh thank you so much, I like it!!!! Crissy

Would you please pet your cat? 😅

Now it just looks like the dress that a Postulant would wear when they enter the convent. Although, the postulants for the Religious community that is attached to my church wear pinafore dresses and plain white long sleeve blouses with a pointy collar. But I have seen other Religious communities that have the same style dress that you were wearing with the white collar and cuffs. The only difference was they wore a black veil instead of a cap and no apron. They probably also wear modern underwear with the exception of the long petticoats.

As you mention, middle class and even upper lower class had maids. With the workload of a household, maids were necessary even if only coming in a day or two. Laundry was a huge undertaking. People today look back and think of servants being in fancy upper-class households. While reading books of the Victorian Era, I always felt somewhat sad that a tradition at Christmas was that female servants were often given fabric for a new uniform as their Christmas gift. The household could not find the money to supply the maids with fabric for their jobs? Servants were often given a few coins for their Christmas gift.

Fascinating! Thankyou. This was very absorbing. I'm inspired!

Cool! Now I gotta garb me some 1860s orphelines.

I just love this video and keep coming back to it for inspiration. I am now ready to make a short gown after making several long ones. I plan to use your book reference for the transitional stays (I was very uncomfortable with the short stays while hearth cooking at my volunteer sites with them hitting right at the lower sternum) and would like to ask your help with finding a good pattern resource for making the short gown. Thank you
