Greetings from Finland. Always nice to see that people like visiting this cold and grey country 😊 awesome content once again 😍
I think Finland is quite a beautiful country. I would love to visit someday, though it would have to be in the summer since I'm not used to colder climates.
I'm allergic to wool, so I'd have to wear another type of material. I wish these cloths would come back in style. So lovely.
Such a beautiful outfit, and thank you for being always so informative.:) I remember having heard a long time ago that "of course women got cold in the Winter because they didn't even have knickers or any pants". This having been said in Finland about our ancestors.;) Allthough I already knew it to be wrong, skirts can keep you warm, but your video makes it very clear.:)
Excellent!
As to the feet,- they usually freeze first at low temperatures. So, if one lived in 1893 in Finland, Russia, Sweden, Norway and so on, one used thick boots, lined with fur; these boots had to be a bit bigger in size, than summer shoes, because 1. in tight boots feet get squeezed, which prevents the proper blood circulation, and freeze easier, and 2. under boots one used to put on thick woolen socks. In really cold weather, like -40, one could put on felt boots,- sometimes even on top of the usual boots,- and then sit in the sleigh, covering the legs with special woolen or fur rug.
A A I havent check but probably is true because many nineteenth Century novells i have read mention something about that shoes being tighter in super cold weather
I work outside and my feet feel much warmer when my shoes are looser. I thought it was because there was more warm air trapped in the shoe but the circulation thing makes sense as well.
Lots of thin layers of natural fibres - toasty and comfy
All the detail that went underneath clothes, that hardly anyone would see, is so amazing to me!
and they are pretty too. its amazing how nice you feel when every layer is pretty to see and touch. the underthings also make the whole outfit fit & look better..
I would love it if sometime you did a video of the evolution of lower class clothes.
Also, I shared this channel with my lit professor (she specializes in literature of the Victorian era). She was very excited to see that such a channel exists.
Who are the 9 idiots that would thumbs down all of the beautiful clothes, insights, hard labor, and well recorded video? Madness, I tell you. 🤦🏻♀️
That is a beautiful outfit. I used to have a picture of my grandmother in a similar one - a brown skirt and jacket with the puffed sleeves, although her's didn't have the elaborate braiding. She used to tell me about her clothes when she was a young woman and how she never tightened her corset really tight - just enough to give her some shape.
thats how most of us wear ours. they arent for tightwaisting - just support and shape. they are very supportive of lower back and larger busted women :)
We need to bring back historical fashion. I particularly like mens formal wear from the early 20th century.
I love all your costumes! And that your husband dresses up with you! 😎♥️👍 Good man!
I see you got a pair of old style skates in wood. Very nice and fantastic work on the embroidery on the overcoat.
Lovely. Love all the wool. When I went to Finland one time in winter went to Rovanemi on arctic circle. Nearby was a zoo. Tourists were inspected before touring. My winter boots were deemed not warm enough and was made to don felted wool wellies. Sole about 1 inch thick. Rather toasty if unattractive. So, yes, you would have had felted wool or actual fur boots. Thick soles a must.
Sue M, can't even imagine how it would feel to have a thick soul. Sounds unpleasant.
Barbara Danley haha. As I study theology funny how I transposed that homonym at the end. I have met thick souled people but do not wear them.
The jacket and coat are amazing! I'd sit a roast indoors, just to wear them, they're so pretty.
Each of your videos is a treat!Well done!
Those 1890s sleeves get me every time, SO BIG! Beautiful work though, looks absolutely stunning in motion.
Just stunning!! It's my favorite era. I was born in the wrong century. Lol
I thought the exact same thing; I was born in the wrong era, clothing-wise. I love her videos!
I always love seeing your videos! Amazing work on the braiding! So much work, but definitely looks worth it!
Where you said you loved puffed sleeves, it reminds me of when Anne (Anne of Green Gables) was dreaming of a dress with puffed sleeves 😊
I LOVE THAT BOOK!!! You remember the scene with the liniment cake?
I read that too book I remember the liniment cake
@@MishMill haha yes, thought it was vanilla and surprise! 😄
YES
puff sleves are simply divine !
I can just hear Anne (with an e) Shirley saying that ..... the puffiest in the world.
I love your videos, always so informative! I especially like that we get to see all the different petticoats, usually it's just a simple one and then on to the other layers of the outfit.
This is one of my favorite outfits you have made to date. :D
I love the trimming on the jacket, it is beautiful, I never have the patience to trim my historical clothing well :( I have not been a huge fan of 1890s sleeves on myself, having rather large square shoulders I need to go for a style that does not emphasise them, but they DO look very elegant on you. Oh my.....I am shocked! Such a fashionable lady got a Parlour maid to help her dress? She does not have a Lady's Maid? Was it her day off? ;o))
Stunning! The work put into this is incredible. Thanks for sharing!
ohhhhh the puffs sleeves remind me so much of Anne Of Green Gables. Where Anne wanted a dress with puffed sleeve and Mathew brought it for her.
I wish we still dressed this way, pretty and practical. 👏👏👏👏😄
Let's start a trend :D ;)
I don't think is practical no way at least not like todays clothing but beautiful it is I'd go with that trend!
Katherine Hamar IM IN!!!!😁😁😁
WE MUST GET IT GOING
there is absolutely NO REASON Not too. unlike then we dont have RULES for what to wear (more like rules of how little you can get away with) IF YOU LOVE IT. WEAR IT.. seriously.. with all the excellent quality patterns for making these beautiful clothes there is no excuse not to. and for ANY occasion. we were just part of a Regency style wedding -every female in the wedding party including the 4 & 5 yr olds- wore a period correct Regency dress and we LOVED them and how comfortable they are - easily worn on an any day basis. so Wear them and enjoy yourself and enjoy the freedom you have that you CAN wear them
Thank you. I love watching these. Wish I could do some dressing up. I'd love to wear those skirts!! Could do without the big padded shoulders on the coat and jacket, personally, but I bet there was people back then that felt similarly. lol
so why not DO IT.. its easy to do and patterns to make your own.. have fun
Real liked this one. I live in older part of Canada, nice to see what we wore
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Green suits you perfectly by the way. Love this channel 😍😍
I absolutely ADORE that jacket.
Where are you from? I am from Finland, and these videos are the best, because I love history.
originally Polish, but have been based in the UK fr the last 16 years or so. visiting Filnald every year in winter, for the last 4 years - love it!
This is beautiful! I would love to see more seasonal dressings
Beautiful work, and video very nicely complemented by choice of music
What a lot of work it took to make ONE outfit! And how clever of you to recreate it!
I would like 1890s when there weren't those gigantic puffy sleeves....
The embroidered jacket looks so nice!
That jacket was beautiful!
All your coustumes are lovely.Hatd to belive you do so much work on them.
I love wearing long skirts in winter but I wish we still had petticoats! It was -2 and when the wind blew....Eeeeek! :0
Garlic Girl petticoats is still a thing! Just not trendy, that's all. You can find a lot of places online that sell them.
Il Al Any ideas where?
Garlic Girl even amazon and Etsy do them, but you have to know what you are looking for so you can combine keywords (material and or era) with it. E.g. Victorian, or Cotton. Knowing how to layer correctly is important too. If you have a sewing machine there are a lot of great DIYs, you just need to make sure to look up era accurate ones as those would be the ones made for actual every dayy use as opposed to just fun without regard to long term comfort (e.g. you'd probably want a half-slip under a tulle petticoat).
I really wish I could recommend any one specific place, but I haven't bought any petticoats since I'm planning on sewing mainly some basic corded petticoat for non-period clothing (to go with few skirts I keep using with an extra under-skirt) that I use all year, just changing what I layer with it. Good luck, and I hope others will chime in with useful recommendations.
Il Al thank you.
easier to make them - seriously!! and more fun
LOVE puffy sleeves! I wish "leg of mutton" sleeves and Victorian fashion would become the rage again. So regal and feminine looking. ;)
why not wear them?? we have no fashion rules anymore. if you love them, WEAR them.. :)
Tajkatt is right-wear what you want, forget about 'rules'.
Stunning outfit! I just love all of your videos and look forward to many more ❤️👍🏼
The braid-work on that jacket is absolutely amazing
So much fun to watch your vids.
So many skirt layers ( * * ) Must have felt like being wrapped in a duvet! I should try wearing a petticoat, trousers really don't cut it below 5*C...
Try wearing long-johns underneath the trousers or, when it gets closer to -10, some flossed leggings. It makes a huge difference :)
I mostly freeze while commuting to school and back so the long-johns + trousers combo might be too warm for the uni... But if it gets any windier here, I'm taking your advice!
Have you considered winter tights? It would be a nice compromise between long johns and plain trousers. Plus the fleecing feels nice against the skin.
Dodi Tov Oh that’s a great idea! I completely forgot about them, and I might even own a pair already. That’s decided then, tomorrow I’m leaving the house in winter tights :) Thank you for your advice!
You got a maid! ;) She seems lovely :D Love her outfit too!
It's amazing how warm dresses are. I was in the play Brigadoon in my hometown and we wore full-length skirts that comprised of only a long underdress like a chemise and an overdress that laced up the front. It was so warm that the ladies were all congregating outside in the middle of November in 40 F. And the layers were very thin! It if were fashionable these days I would consider having these dresses make a comeback!
I actually do something similar with maxi skirts. I wear multiple layers of skirts to stay warm. Skinny jeans do not offer much room to layer under
your dresses are so astonishingly beautiful!
The braiding style comes from the military hussar pelisse famously worn by Napoleonic hussars.
Breathtaking!
You are looking so good!! Whatever you are doing is paying off! :)
I love your videos. They make me so happy.
I would appear with this in the middle of the city and start asking people about the year we live in. Could I possibly trick them into believing I'm a time-traveller?
Теодора Ненова haha, I love that idea! I would so do that!
Теодора Ненова yes sure! 😂
Теодора Ненова Did you do it yet?
Bernard's Channel I haven't. These dresses are expensive and I can't afford them.
Теодора Ненова Lol same. That's why I am learning to sew.
I think that these two coats (outfits) were my favorites of all. Just beautiful!
Yes, the big sleeves definitely accent the waistline. No need to tightlace insanely to get a stunning silhouette!
Always love you videos. :)
Such awesome outfits ... and the craftsmanship that goes in each piece ... I take my proverbial hat off to you.
The young Anne Shirley (of Green Gables) would have absolutely adored those sleeves! 💗 Btw, I'm bit of an Anne-girl myself. 😉
Finland sure is gorgeous in Winter!
then you should wear them and go all "anne-girl!"
Next time you have this ensemble out and you have access to a weigh scale, please let us know how much this entire ensemble weighs.

Oh goody, an 1890s video!
Wonderful videos-thank you for posting them!
I just love all your videos! They're so interesting and your clothing is always immaculately made!
Gorgeous!!!! Your videos are always so interesting and informative, and also showcase your absolutely stunning work.
I absolutely LOVE your videos, they're so informative and interesting!!
It's so fluffy....but at least it was warm.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Breath taking! Love your videos!
I love the big sleeves too. And the waist line. Gives you a lovely silhouette.
What a beautiful outfit! Very inspiring. 😀
Izzy, happy 2018! Hope you continue making those beautiful costumes!
Lots of love,
Gabi.
I just love how you are so clever and you actually test them out. I'm really into 50s fashion, but have always adored outfits you do. 🤗😍🤗
Love your videos - wonder if you could do a video on the hairstyles and how they did them back then.
I am a dressmaker - not a hairdresser, am afraid!
Greetings from finland ❤ did you enjoy our country?
we visit every year!
Love the green jacket and wool skirt, gorgeous!
I’m in love with that outfit!! ❤️
That jacket!!! Just Fabulous
Stunning😍
I just love watching getting dressed :)
3:35 that one was so lovely! The color and shape! 😍
Beautifully made jacket and coat!
I ove this video + so fun that you came to Finland
Yep embroidery can take forever.
Not embroidery. Braiding!
Hello my name is Dora I am Mexican and I am in love with the past tense dresses !! Wonderful work 💕💕
I’m Mexican!
Nice video, good to know how how I can stay warm during my canadian winters!
You have amazing talent.
Lovely! I love the big sleeves too! 😄
Greetings from Finland! Very beautiful!
I would wear that jacket today. Its so gorgeous.
Gorgeous 👏👏👏👏
Hola que hermoso trabajo están haciendo simplemente no puedo dejar de ver tus vídeos e imaginarme esa época.
😍😄😊 beautiful!
Lovely video. Nice that you could endure scandinavian cold temperature.
Finland's technically not Scandinavian as Scandinavia only refers to the nordic kingdoms (Norway, Sweden and Denmark) 😛😇
'Nordic cold temperature' would be more correct ☺️
I am assuming you sew theses dresses. Two things I admire people who know multiple languages and people who know how to see. I am speechless
Yes/ all made by me, as stated in he credits/ that is my job :-)
Great video. I'm glad I live in the age of modern, lightweight, high tech clothing though!!
How did women deal with female hygiene issues wearing all these layers of clothing???
Priorattire actually made a video for that :D I think it was labelled how to use a toilet: Victorian realities or something in that vein.
Love to be fitted in those clothes just once! So classy and beautiful.
Gorgeous attire :)
Great work
So you've been to Finland! ❤️
Just finished reading a novel situated in the 19th century Helsinki (though earlier, around 1830), where also warm winter clothing was an issue. The writer, though historian (Kaari Utrio), did not describe the layers quite that accurately, so this brings more flesh to the story. (I wish I could find a similar video about 1940s...)
You might want to look at the channel of Crow's Eye Productions. They have something from the 1830's. However, only a 1930's, and then only how the _Land Army_ girls were dressed for their work in WWII; not "regular dressing".
Beautiful 😍
Wow. Gorgeous
I am so happy I subscribed!
Ravenclaw Seer that happened to me the first time I watched Prior Attire videos and I am also a Ravenclaw! I don't think thats a coincidence 😆
That jacket and coat are so ultra beautiful! I'm in love. If you don't need them any longer: I'll happily take them! :D
You can request a comission but it is very expensive as it is all done by hand and is custom fit.
Maravilloso maravilloso increíble Amo esto!!!
