1860's Historybounding: Designing a Capsule Wardrobe based on Civil War-era Victorian Fashion

- The 1860's were the best of times and the worst of times, as far as fashion goes. An equal number of trends that I find classic and beautiful, as well as those that are... just so ugly. This video is my brainstorm to refine some of the staples of the 1860's look into a passable modern wardrobe.
I feel like the idea of "historybounding" has been bubbling and building just below the surface for a long while, but Morgan Donner first coined the term in this video:

Did anyone else hear her ask what era's we'd like to see and think " ALL OF THEM" 😍😍😍
aww thank you :D
I would love to see your take on Regency Historybounding.
For me, the “modern” (or slightly less old) silhouette of the 1860s, is the 1950s. Specifically, the New Look. It had that sloping shoulder, tight bodice and bell skirt. The necklines differed, and the skirts were slightly shorter (mid calf) and slightly less wide (because that would have looked ridiculous otherwise).
I do think I’d like to make more bell shaped skirts, and a very poofy petticoat to go under it- all my current ones have all their fluff at the bottom. Which is accurate to the 1950s, but doesn’t have the full bell that Dior put into his New Look skirts. Maybe an altered bum pad? That is circular? I’ll have to think about it more.
yes, 1860's > 1950's is a great conversion! I love it when historical time periods match up well enough with a vintage decade to blend.
This channel is incredible, I really don't understand why it's so underwatched
well I'm working on getting more consistent, that's probably my biggest shortcoming, but thank you :)
@@MariahPattie Good luck! I'll be watching
This truly inspires me to sew all those wonderfull projects. And I so get that feeling of wanting period time capsules (wardrobe). I can just imagine standing there... wondering if I feel medieval or victorian today
yesssssss, absolutely! because not all time periods are compatible, and it would be so cool to just have a mini collection from different eras 😆😆😆
YES! THIS!!!!
How has youtube only just popped you into my recommendations??? Algorithm fail!
This was excellent - subscribed of course, now for a fresh coffee & binge watching... I'm looking at creating a capsule 1920's wardrobe for summer; and a regency capsule for winter (purely because I want a spencer & a pelisse) - or maybe the other way round...
I'm definitely planning a regency capsule vid! My only conundrum is wether or not to try and modernize the silhouette...
I know! I only just got a recommendation today- but I’ve been watching historical fashion and sewing videos for years. The algorithm was definitely letting me down!
You know, it's so funny I'm seeing your videos pop up in my recommended now, because a couple of weeks ago I got the very same idea of making historybounding capsule wardrobes as well. I made a 1920s dress a while ago, and had no idea how to go about building up a wearable 1920s wardrobe after that until I found out about the whole idea behind a capsule wardrobe. And then I started making pinterest boards for all the eras I want to explore. Now I just have to wait for the fabric stores to open up again...
This is genius! I've never been one to be super interested in history bounding, but this capsule take on it has me intrigued! I'd love to see you design a regency capsule wardrobe!
It's on the list!
I am currently working on a 1865 dress but I'm using a 1940s pattern and taking a detailing from the 1865 dress. The magazine description that I have says poplin with velvet trim and black jet buttons and that's what I'm using on the 1940s pattern. Civil war meets war 2 dress.
Loved watching this and your 1890s video! Could you possibly do a 1910s video? It is one of my favorite eras and I would love to see how you would create a capsule around it.
added to the list!
A great book for knowledge of civilian Civil War women's dress is Who Wore What by Juanita Leisch. She painstakingly studied original clothing, pictures , etc and compiled her findings on several different styles, and parts of clothing. A very useful book.
Soooo... I'm gonna need one of these for every era, k thx. (So helpful thank you!!!!)
I loved that this was concluded with an overview of all the possible combinations and how many of them actually work.
I'd love to see you design a capsule wardrobe for the 1950s. I want to do it myself but I clearly don't know what to do haha plus I need more ideas. Anyway, I hope you'll continue making videos. I absolutely love your channel 😍 and I just discovered it a few days ago! I'm glad I did. 😊
Aaaaa!!!! You always make such lovely videos, and your clothing designs were beautiful 🌼🌼
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
It's all beautiful, but that red top!!! Soooooo pretty!!!!!!
rewatching these, I wonder how the separate capsules could be combined with each other. I think at least the plainer items of the separate wardrobes could be combined with each other, but I can also see for example the red medieval (over)dress being worn over some of the other wardrobe's skirts. Because despite being inspired by different time periods, they don't differ insanely in color palette and you seem to always go for a fitted bodice + flared skirt silhouette making combinations easier.
Also, I wish more people made this type of content! A lot of historybounding youtubers are more so costubers/cosplay tubers. Which is fine, and they clearly have an audience; but I prefer a more 'practical' approach, fashion that is actually worn on a daily basis that just so happens to have a more history-inspired, often highly detailed and more feminine style (rather than the endless amount of jeans and t-shirts most fashion youtubers have) and is selfmade/supporting tiny businesses because ♥ slow fashion
I was costuming for a little women show the was tragically cut short by covid where the director wanted the characters to start out in street clothes (say what you will about that) but it would have been so cool to have used these designs!! I loved seeing your translation. Like the green check design was kinda along the lines of what I was looking for for meg.
Could you do the 1890s, specifically mid 1890s, it's my absolute favorite era of fashion history. Or if youd prefer a non Victorian era, I love 1660s or the Edwardian era too.
I second this
I was thinking about 1890's and 1900's; they are near the top of my list. 1660's would be harder, but I'll add it to the list as well :P
@@MariahPattie oooooh yay, good to know, thanks!!
YAY!!! I'm Making a 1860s dress, the bodice and skirt and 2 pieces, and i NEED to wear them more than once
This is literally my favorite fashion era and this entire video got me so excited!! I can't wait until I can actually attempt at having a style that I actually like! Much love! Thank you so so much!!!
I would love to see one of these the 18th century
These designs are awesome, I'll surely subscribe for more of this relaxing and inspiring videos also your videos about world building were very helpful for my fantasy race :the celennites, I'm French and because you speak with a clear and calm voice I can understand you (sorry if I make mistakes )
Loved the pieces, some of than are very unique which car explain why some combinations clash so much 😋
I love this series! So creative and inspiring
I love how u cut the length of the skirts I never wear them long
I really enjoyed your footage on working with the designing software. You are so talented!
That was really interesting! I would totally wear a bunch of those and now want to make some history bounding clothes. It was interesting to see how you use illustrator to plan the outfits too.
I need this wardrobe. Every piece is just so me. And what amazing photoshop skills.
thank you!
Wow watching the computer art is amazing ty. I just sub.
I would love to see a more in depth video on your Adobe process. Shortcuts and tools that help specifically with garment illustration.
Thank you, it's on the list :)
@@MariahPattie yay! I'm glad to hear that. You are the one who introduced me to history bounding and I am currently working on a line of regency inspired garments. It has more than 1 era of influence but seeing you talk about regency, and history bounding, and then your methods of tackling the projects have helped me stay motivated on it for the first time since graduating from uni. I finally have time to sew for myself instead of school and you've been key in being sort of a... sew along encouragement? It always helps when others are doing projects similar. And it helps especially now when I cant have friends over to talk to about it. You are inspiring ^_^ keep being you
thank you, I'm glad you've been feeling productive lately! Regency is also definitely on my list, and I'm glad I can get back to that list now that the Emma videos are finished 😅
@@MariahPattie oh yay! I'm so glad that's back on the list! It's one of my favourite eras from art history class! Loved the Emma breakdown though too, really gave me some regency inspiration. Especially that they were the master of capsule wardrobe concept! That really solidified it's place in my capsule!
I would love to see some ancient roman time bounding capsule wardrobes.
Thank you for sharing your design work. I've been wondering if combining elements from different time periods could help make history bounding outfits more personalized or less unusual. Could you do a video about that?
I love that you state the percentage of success.....you funny.
Do 1910’s! I love the wild fashions the teens in the teens came up with!
Thank you, it's on the list!
Not a time period but maybe specific people? I quite enjoy the style of Empress Elisabeth of Austria - which spans from the mid to the end of the 19th centruy and was, in my opinion, quite unique.
That's a good idea. It's going on the list!
LOVE all the pieces!💘💘💘
Thank you so much for sharing all this process. I love your videos ! You make me want to make more sewing and actually now I also want to learn illustrator. Have you learned by yourself ? Now I want to look for a course aha
I took a class, but I mostly self-taught from there :)
I'm in love.
I would love to see a 30s/40s capsule!
I would love to see one of these videos inspired by the Georgian and/or Regency eras! (:
If I had your mad illustrator skills, I would have finished my uni technical drawing assignments three months early
Mariah, along the lines of making a 3-piece ensemble to convert from day to evening wear, do you think there's any merit in the idea of creating a skirt with a removeable extension to convert from a more casual day length to a more formal evening length? Maybe a series of tucks could conceal where the join is happening, or the addition might have ruffles or pleats. I don't know if an extension could be attached with snaps or buttons or something, or whether it would tend to gape or drag too much between snaps.
Not sure, would need to think it out. It would be much more do-able if the skirt wasn't very full. I have thought about adding robe a la polonaise ties in the back of a skirt, so it could hang normally or be bunched up. I've also thought of buttoning in inserts into skirts to change the look. But designing a system to easily change the length would be hard to make work practically. But still, worth pondering.
@@MariahPattie OMG lol what if it was like a curtain-rod concept and there was a track you could hook your extension on, then pull a string to swing it around front and smooth the gathers... I'm laughing my head off thinking what a Carol Burnett prank that would be!
(You're young, so maybe you don't know Carol Burnett well, but she did a Gone with the Wind sketch once and her take on the Curtain Dress was hilarious!)
I want to make a top with pagoda sleeves but can’t find any modern references
this reminds me a lot of the lolita fashion subculture
Yo, I love this!!
That was amazing! Do you have any interest in making anything like the 50s winter dress again? A capsule wardrobe in that style would be very interesting!
Thank you! Yes, I actually just finished a 50's/60's style skirt that I'm really happy with. A video about that will be up as soon as I have time to sit down and put it together! I've got lots of sewing plans for this year :)
Can’t wait to see it, loved that dress so much I’m still looking for something like it!
19th c 2nd Bustle era.
AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!
What design program do you use for drawing
How long did it take to design the first dress?
What software are you using?
What program do you use for your designing? I love this idea for wardrobe planning
I use adobe illustrator, and for the mannequins I've just traced drawing templates from pinterest :)
Suay சுவை mak mak naa kha love your workkkkkkk👍!🙏
How did you learn illustrator so well?!?!?
Mostly taught myself, I've just been using it for so long :) But it's pretty much the only type of art I know how to do, and I'm completely photoshop illiterate 😅😬 Would you be interested in some kind of illustrator tutorial/explainer video at some point?
Mariah Pattie Makes ABSOLUTELY YES PLEASE
Can i use your conlang script ,that You created based on thai plsssssssss plsssssssss
yeah, sure. I don't mind.
18th century!
