      Especially since paintings were often done in a way that represents a certain aesthetic of the time rather than actually depicting a likeness, so most of the portraits of a certain period won't really look that much like their subjects.

When Catherine wasn’t appointed Protector to young Edward he behaved recklessly with Elizabeth. After Catherine died he became more volatile which cost him his head over a year later. Catherine loved him dearly and I think she would have been content living a quiet life with him and their daughter.

      As for the sewing...it wouldn't be all that difficult. I sew. I'm somewhat new to it, but I finished stitching a corset today. Once a pattern is properly drafted, the stitching is quite easy. Time consuming, but this dress has fewer seams than a victorian gown. I can finish a hand sewn eyelet in about 10 minutes. A skilled seamstress might be faster.

Hair was washed less often back then, but there are lots of videos explaining how it was still kept clean. Frequent brushing and combing with natural materials like wood or boar bristles, for one, and for another....linen caps.

      @@theneutral3192 Tudor society was deeply religious, and followed the biblical rules that women's hair must be covered for modesty reasons, with only "indecent" women like prostitutes and beggars not covering up. These rules were also followed in the medieval period, but largely fell out of fashion at the end of the 1500's, probably at least partially due to Elizabeth I's fashion choices. Working women were still expected to wear bonnets over their hair all the way up until the late 1800's, but they didn't need to hide the entirety of their hair, unlike in earlier history.

      It is actually a lot more comfortable than it looks, and much heavier to hold up than to wear. I have worn similar many times in Historical Re-enactments. Those, if well done, have to be accurate in many ways. The best material for the job is upholstery fabric for the outer dress and sleeves. If you think the pins look scary, you should see the ones used for early medieval cloaks. they are about six inches long!

      There’s the fact that now although clothes aren’t a million layers and more regal you can still wear this type of fashion if it was something you really wanted to do, the only difference is you wouldn’t have to be a royal or someone from an extremely rich background to do so.

    I love fashion history like this. So beautiful. But I will always be very confused as to why they would use something that could stab you whilst wearing something as soft and beautiful as these gowns. Why didnt they invent closures that would not require awkward sharp needles being imbedded in your clothing?

    • @pokemonhandbook2768
      @pokemonhandbook2768 Před rokem +17

      I'd guess it's because pins were easiest for that flat-fronted silhouette. They add pretty much no addional bulk (unlike buttons or buckles) and were easy enough to make (unlike zippers or velcro, which are commonly used on tight clothing today).

    • @poisonmantis4191
      @poisonmantis4191 Před rokem +18

      pins were flat- any closures would bunch up or be visible. lacing was seen as something to be hidden, so they ould avoid it being seen. these are also royal clothes- the average woman would only use a few pins where necessary- to keep her apron on, or to pin a skirt in place. pins didn't stab, as there were a lot of layers in between the pin and the body, and when there weren't they were placed carefully. pins stop being used as much to secure clothing as clothing styles and manufacturing methods changed, but they were used mostly by the rich or powerful

    • @calliarcale
      @calliarcale Před rokem +15

      It would be interesting to see a video that's just the history of closures. Engineering a good closure is surprisingly challenging; pins were a solution dating from prehistory to pretty much the present. The short answer is basically just that nobody had come up with a better closure by this point. The 20th Century would finally offer a few better options, in the form of blind zippers, snaps, and hook-and-loop closures. But at this point not even the modern button had been invented yet. It would take several remarkable flashes of inspiration to get there.
      Side-note: if you've heard of "pin money", it comes from the practice of sending your offspring away to boarding school and making sure to send them with enough money to buy pins to hold their clothes together. It's basically an allowance.

      Buttons have been around for a long time. In 13th century, button holes were invented and some new forms of buttons too but they were attached by using brooches or clasps. They were mostly used for decoration as ornaments on clothes or jewelry, not for functionality. Which doesn't make much sense to me since it would have been much easier than sewing/tying/pinning. It wasn't until late 18th century, waistcoats and men's pants had buttons on them (and maybe on dresses).
