Things only 1690's kids will remember.
lmao
Gold! 😄
They’ll also remember that time they ate tainted bread and got 19 people killed for witchcraft.
@@freyaegrey This is france girlie...
When she said the curls had to go.... I'm thinking... Like... Brush em? But noooooooo. I chortled.
it sure looked weird, her just casually removing her hair.
How many hair pieces did she have on!
For a few minutes her ankles were exposed. Shocking.
Love the riding footage at the end! So fun to see dressage in full regalia.
I find it so funny how back in the day they were so obsessed with giving women’s clothing pockets and in modern times they love not giving us pockets & giving us the look of pockets but not actually giving them to us. I just find it funny
Right? You may have 12 layers but dammit you've got pockets!
So true
Its to sell handbags
Home girl came out looking like the most fabulous version of captain hook
Note: I mean no hate, I love fabulous captain hook!
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING LOL
I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
Riding sidesaddle in full regalia?! I'm impressed! Thank you for showing all the layers in the clothing. I have done similar demonstrations and people are always amazed by the foundations. Of course I remember the old foundations departments in full service stores where one purchased bras, girdles, slips, panties for underwear in the mid 20th century.
why am i so excited about women in the past having pocketts?
Serienmae 1 because we don't have thew nowadays
I love that you actually rode a horse in this thing! What an incredible way to bring history to life.
I like how the riding habit skirt draped over the rear of the horse, very elegant
I find funny how you can tell who knows about historical costuming and who doesn’t, watching they commenting “so many layers”, “it must be really hot outside in that dress”, “it must weight a ton”, “how does one pee in that?”
As a writer, thank you. This makes things easier to describe.
That riding outfit could double as a Pirate Queen
I absolutely loved this!! I'm a retired lecturer in History and the attention to detail you include is very impressive.
Prince Rupert of the Rhine is thought yo have "accidentally " invented the cravat by using his handkerchief as an emergency replacement for his wide lace collar when it became dirty. X
Cravat came from the Croatian cavalry. Country is still called Hravatska today.
This was rather useful in assisting me in determining whether or not the female riding attire I've witnessed be used in a show was accurate.
For any curious reader: it wasn't.
Thank you.
Having watched a lot of these videos, I can now make full sense of a sentence Mrs. Bennett in 'Pride and Prejudice' says to Elizabeth about 'pin money'. Nowadays the phrase is used to describe a small but significant amount of cash kept on hand for buying things that fall somewhere between necessities and luxuries. In the context of the book, I realised it was meant quite literally, but until I watched these videos I never understood just how necessary and important pins were to a woman. I'm not sure when the manufacture of pins changed from being crafted individually ( and therefore being a rare and expensive commodity) to that of something made by a team of people each working one one step of the process ( speeding up production, increasing the quantity made and so lowering the price of each pin considerably) but I think it was in the 1700's ( I may be wrong). When I think how small dress-making pins are today, pins must have been something easily lost or broken, and so a woman would have needed a constant supply to keep her clothing properly secured... and the husband would have needed to make sure his wife had enough money to hand (pin-money!) to buy more pins as she wanted, and ensure his wife was properly and decently dressed!
Both looks are gorgeous, but i am OBSESSED with the hunting/riding look- like a lady Captain Hook, i love it! 🖤
I love that it includes a giant wig for whatever reason
my husband's great aunt had a very old house. we're talking 1800s or better. It had a separate room in the bedroom specifically for bathing/changing. I always did wonder why the wall had a bunch of old pins in it. Knowing it was to keep the clothing in place makes way better sense than anything i could have come up with.
8:19 And a bonus- it had pockets!!!!
It’s hard to find clothes with good pockets nowadays.... the pockets are either fake or frickin tiny.
My dyslexia Changed 1690 to 1960 I was confused for a while before I realized xD
Siriuslygeeky -Batman 😂😂😂
i have to say you are a timeless women, with a face that lends itself to all periods of history
In the US many horse shows have a costumed category. The costumes are usually Native American or 19th century American West. You would blow their minds!
Wow, the riding outfit was amazing! You looked lovely on Coralito, what a beautiful boy.
I've always loved 1690's fashion, sort of a nice, classy in-between era between the crazier skirts and collars of the earlier decades of the 1600's and the cake-like dresses of the Rococo era.
I used to ride hunt seat when I was younger. I cannot imagine riding side saddle with all those clothes on! Beautiful costumes and you rode well.
I absolutely adore how the riding attire is just straight up Captain Hook the whole way through!
Very good! My kitty says she likes the purple skirt where she could sit on the train and ride along as you walked!
He’s a beautiful horse with beautiful gaits
Dressage trot my friend, its a lovely thing. Check out videos of the "Dancing Lipizzaner Stallions" of the Spanish Riding School if you're interested.
Coralito is beautiful! He wasn't cooperating because he knows his best side for filming. :)
After watching so many of your videos, I have to wonder if the misconception of taking forever to dress up comes from the fact that people have no idea how much clothing was made of different parts that you can just pin together. Because of how some of the clothing fits and there being no zippers and shit, period dress never made sense to me in how exactly it did get put on until I started watching your videos and doing some research for a novel I was writing.
MegaKaitouKID1412 good point! Also, people usually take very elaborate court costumes for what everyone wore everyday, which is not the case.
I love hearing all the atmospheric sounds in your videos layered under the pretty music. Swish, swash, click click click... really adds a nice touch.
Not going to lie as soon as you put on the wig with the red outfit my first thought was Captin Hook from the movie Hook. Then the added hat i mean a lady version for sure!!
Yup.
Not only is the construction amazing, I love how you teach us a bit of history and the whys of the garments. Thank you for an amazing channel.
Thanks for the video. As always, it was both entertaining and informative.
You look incredibly formidable as the Lady Captain Hook.
I would love to see some outfits from the lower class of any period. These are beautiful though!
+Kayla Utahna for videos I use clothes I have made and use for work. Sometimes posh, sometimes not. I can make videos on demand, making clothes for that exact purpose- prices start from 2k.... so until either someone commissions it, or I need to make more kit for different social strata, the videos will be limited to what I have available!
All i can think is Captain Hook at the second outfit
Good grief must have been a pain in the ass to be rich back in the day!! So glad I didn’t live in this time period but I wouldn’t mind a photo shoot wearing some of these elaborate costumes!! Just glad it’s not an everyday thing
I love these videos. It is fascinating to see the changes in the dressing and attire over the centuries. Hard to believe, but someday our current dress will be considered elaborate and quaint!
@@BZANINOVICH Theres plenty of beautiful clothing made today, look at Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Erdem, hell some of Gucci recent stuff is pretty elaborate. If you are willing to spend the money there is plenty of elaborate fashion...although most people just wear the plebeian denim and cotton and guess what...most people in the 17th and 18th centuries also wore slopping torn and dirty clothes, its romanticized today. Most people didn't dress like this. So if you want to wear a beautiful gown today, you certainly can, either buy it from a designer or have something similar made by seamstresses.Look at people like Ulyanna Sergeenko on instagram, she dresses fabulous all the time. The problem today is, most people just want to fit in with everyone else and wear the same uniform that they think is socially appropriate.
This was fantastic. It's so romantic and I feel I could have gotten on quite well in that time.
You are literally the most awesome lady ever!! Making your own clothes; historically accurate ones!! Making Educational and awesome videos!! Now horse riding!!! You are amazing!! Thank you for sharing all of your amazingness with us!!
I feel like this is what Gaston from Beauty and the Beast would have worn if he was a lady
Or a female Captain Hook! Especially with the added wig and hat.
The riding outfit makes me want to shout: Aye, aye Captain!
The color of the dress is gorgeous!
I LOVE this just as I LOVE all of your informative videos included with your historic creations. Your equestrian skills are amazing too!
Somehow, I always end up watching your channel, and I couldn't e more glad for it! You are amazing and it's so fun to watch this! It's so entertaining and educational, I feel like I know a lot more about history just from what the women then wore! Thank you so much!
Love, love, love this video! I kept being moved to tears, your outfits are so beautiful!!!! Thank you for giving us this insight into history and answering all our questions by it!!! So clear, and beautiful , and well done!!!
Your videos are just fascinating. Thanks for sharing a bit of history with us in each one.
Before watching these videos I never realised how many pieces all these outfits came in. And the pins! If I thought losing my bobby pins was bad...
Fabulous look, and the horse was great too!
Damn girl you can ride! Hats off ;)
No pun intended? XD
You and Lucas make such a handsome couple. I love that you share an interest in history together as well. I watch these and imagine how much fun it would be to spend an afternoon with the two of you. Thank you another wonderful video!
I can see a lady sneezing, and her hat flopping down to smack her in the face!
Ooh the picture of the rearing stallion with you in full costume was really nice.
The second one you look like some rich and famous female pirate ready to board her huge and immaculate ship.
is it just me or does the hunting outfit you wore kinda look like a female version of captain hook?
Every time I see these videos I think how lucky we are for living a time where a t-shirt and some jeans can be put in seconds 😂😂😂 Those dresses are stunning, but I'm too lazy for them!
I don't see how either the female or male versions of the costumes are practical for riding. It's amazing you can tear side saddle and managed to ride in this attire, especially as a 21st Century person who isn't used to riding like this! Well done!
Coralito wanted a good profile shot! He knows his good angle and he wants to show it off.
This is AMAZING! I could hardly imagine myself walking normally with all of those layers....let alone ride a horse or HUNT?? HOW on earth did they manage to move flexibly with all those clothes...
You need to watch some AbbyCox or BernadetteBanner, they go through a lot of myth busting about ability to move and do everyday things whilst in all those layers, whether in a pair of bodies, stays, or the later corset. Abby has a really good video where they test out their heat tolerance in today's clothes, versus period clothing with many layers.
Looks like a lady Captain Hook!
Absolutely amazing one of my favourite periods in history thankyou so much. The horse was so cheeky and adorable too😊
You look like a lady Pirate Captain in that red suit, awesome!
Absolutely gorgeous! I must say, I nearly expected Peter Pan to leap out and challenge you to a duel!
I have to wonder about how women lost their hip pockets back in the day, though. I mean even *if* the ties came open, you'd think one of the other dozen layers would help them stay put lol
I think Coralito did a wonderful job... He was just showing off his best side😀 Love this!!
The rider dress is wonderful ! It looks like a fusion of ancient Chinese court lady dress and a royal Melaka (ancient Malay Sultanate in Malaysia) attire.
These videos are so interesting!!! Not just to see the pretty clothes but to see what's underneath, the foundation of the outfit!
Beautiful pieces. I love your 1690's " power suit"!
Am I the only one who thinks she looked like a female Captain Hook in the last one?
Gigi Hide That's exactly what I was thinking haha!
Well, perhaps the most entertaining video yet. As a rider I can appreciate your time aboard and sidesaddle too!
I love your videos!!!!!! Please keep making them, they are so fascinating!!!!!
Do so appreciate these history lessons!
Very well, done, Coralito is a beautiful horse...but the whole time you're in the riding outfit I keep thinking "Blast you Peter Pan!"
*CAN’T* *UNSEE!!!* 🤣
Just watching that was exhausting 😥 But beautiful outfits and nice work preserving this era of fashion 😁
the second look is amazing, i actually want to try it on
OMG the hunting dress is absolutely PERFECT. I remember some portraits I've seen (Liselotte, duchess of Orléans, Marie-Louise of Orléans and Maria-Anna of Neubourg, queens of Spain, Maria of Modena, queen of England, Maria of Nassau, countess of Simmern, Anna-Maria-Louisa de Medici, electress palatine, the duchess of Burgundy, the duchess of Berry, the duchess of Richmond, etc...), it was exactly THIS. Like if these portraits come alive. A miracle... 🤩
I love your channel and love this video! Was especially excited to see you horse riding. Looked like lots of fun!
Love your videos for their historical accuracy and fun presentation. Well done!
I love these Videos! I can't wait to show my daughter
I love how you celebrate the pockets in the waistcoat and coat! It seems women's fashion does not really consider them necessary, even today! ;)
I can see why the mantua was popular. Looks comfy.
That last pic though... Thats so coooll!!!
I'm friends with a lot of historical reenactors here in Massachusetts, and I'm blown away by the sheer gulf between what people in the New England colonies would wear and what was fashionable at court. This era in particular is one of the most popular for reenactors around here (for obvious reasons), and I can't help but wonder how a woman would be treated if she showed up in 1690s Boston wearing something like that. :P
Spencer O'Dowd are you sure it’s not simply the class differences as well as religious differences? I’m sure wealthy women in other colonies where there weren’t puritans wore the same styles of dress.
Quite possibly, but for the New England colonies, the 1690s were basically peak Puritan.
Some of the Dutch colonists were known to wear similarly luxurious clothing.
Loved the riding attire. Very fetching.
Quite an accomplishment. Riding sidesaddle!
To be honest I'm quite amazed the pins stay on.
Just fantastic.Thank you for showing us all how to dress in that time and how important fabrics,trims,wigs and hats must have been to be apart of the right crowd.
I find it so interesting that wigs and extensions were used! And also surprising that so many layers go into the clothes that you don't even see in the final product
I love this outfit it's beautiful gorgeous colors
Is no one gonna mention how her hunting attire looks like captain Hook? Cause it's fantastic!
Same period.
It does
To think that 17th century fashions stared out with ruffs and farthingales, and ended with fontanges and mantuas. What a rapid century it was.
Those outfits are absolutely gorgeous! Loved to see you actually riding in it.
Thank you for making these videos! I enjoy historical romances and sometimes I have a hard time picturing the men and women in the stories when their clothes are mentioned. I now know what a Fichu is and pattens are! Thanks to you, I now enjoy my historical's a little more!
Christiana Weber They also have some terrific Fashion History books ; I recommend "A Dictionary Of Costume And Fashion" Mary Brooks Picken for starters bcuz u can just look up whatever item that you're not familiar with. However,these videos are great bcuz u can actually see how they dressed ( so many layers!) But it still looks like fun to dress like that( especially knowing that u can change into jeans afterward!😉👍)
I’m learning so much! Thank you! You and Coralito look FABULOUS!!
Not sure if it's been said yet or not, but I bet anything there's an antique gun maker who would be down to make a replica for that costume in exchange for a period costume.
Amazing and interesting. Plus high level dressage! Thank you
I happed across these period dress videos by accident, and I so glad I did. Your videos, they're truly interesting and a lot of fun to watch! The only way these videos would be even more fun is, if I were also dressing up! Seriously though, thank you for sharing your knowledge and your many beautiful costumes.
Fantastic video and absolutely loved seeing you riding in the outfit and the dressage moves at the end. What a treat, thank you!
Today we run around naked in comparison.
Wow! I love the clothes.. but I am very thankful for today's... you do a great job.. so entertaining!!
The horse looked like he was having fun...
