Bathhouse Babe: Making a 14th Century Supportive Chemise [CC]

- IN WHICH our intrepid recreatrix rushes through making a 14th Century supportive chemise based on medieval Bohemian manuscripts commissioned by King Wenceslaus (yes THAT King Wenceslaus). Join me as I contemplate whether or not "bathhouse keeper's guild" is a euphamism and think too much about the location of my chest.

thank you
that other bathing equipment you mention that girls carry - is a handful of branches of birch, oak and some others. You gather them in spring and dry. For the bathing you put them into hot water to become softer and then you litterally slap people all over the body in the hot sauna with that branches. It is like a very hadrcore massage. People come out of bath red hot and cool themselves with buckets of cold water or even frozen water in winter. It is common amongst slavonic nations
Amazing! Thank you!
We mainly use birch in Finland, but the tradition sounds similar otherwise.
@@laulutar Finland is a very bath/sauna country indeed!
That slightly odd looking sponge thing makes me think of the birch twig bunches (called "vihta" or "vasta" in Finnish) that are still used in saunas in Finland 🤔
Why yes, we do sit naked in hot rooms and thwack one another with twigs to this day 😂 It's not as scary as it might sound, honest!
Someone else mentioned those too! I think you might be right
@@OpusElenae that doesn't surprise me, as we like our traditional oddities 😁😄
I love how your chemise turned out! It's really cool to see your interpretation of these 'bathhouse dresses'.
I really love 14th century supportive garments. I'm non-binary and have been toying around with adapting supportive shift/kirtle patterns for use as chest binders. Seeing people make supportive garments/historical recreations like this is really inspiring (and informative/entertaining)!
I’m thinking about making one as well for when I want a smoother silhouette under doublets or masculine cotes!
@@OpusElenae If/when you do, it would be amazing to see how it turns out! 😁
You said the Weeping Glass and I was like "there's no way she's talking about the Weeping Glass in Pittsburgh" but you were! That's a shop local to me and it's so neat to see a youtuber several states away support them!
I sure am! A friend turned me on to them and I have a few of their teas. I actually just messaged them to see if they were doing mulling spices again because they’re my FAVORITE blend and I’m almost out.
It looks like a very comfortable garment to wear. I really like the blue sash. I've had half my coffee allowance already so I have to wait a few more hours for the other half. In the meantime, I'm drinking water.
yay, my country gave the world the Bathhouse Babes! :))) I love those illuminated manuscripts of Václav IV. era :)
Great job with the chemise, it was a joy to follow the video - thanks for the nice time.
And so much more! 🥰
I'm trying desperately to make one of these right now so thanks for this! My kid made me sleep in the blanket fort last night so this morning I'm drinking very strong coffee, mourning my life choices and hoping my back will stop hurting soon :)
Hello there. I just had a peppermint tea with extra cat cuddles.
This makes me wish I could sew without cutting too much. Many a garment has been turned to scrap with my quick sheers. Still learning.
I love it! I've been wanting to make a supportive shift for a while.
You should! They're so comfy: 10/10, would recommend.
I have a pattern I created for the bathhouse babes chemise and cut out before Pennsic and didn't get sewn. So it's in my pile of UFOs to be finished before next summer. I'm doing a new wardrobe as I realized I hadn't made new garb for myself in over 13 years. So yeah if my pattern works I'll be making a few of these for camp lounging in addition to wear as my base layer.
You deserve new clothes!
Yeah after making garb for 4 kids and my husband over the past few years, I want to make something for me. I didn't even get new garb when my husband became a pelican nor for our son's knighting (but that was done over two days and we had a month's notice but Pennsic prep so...)
Ah, this is great! My knowledge is mostly based in the Age of Stays, and as someone who's busty, my first question is ALWAYS, "Well, what did they use for support?" in other eras. 🤣 This is an awesome resource, thanks!
I’ve been drinking a lot of water with Mio Energy in it, and Diet Coke. lol
Yay for supportive garments!! Your supportive kirtle came out so well, and I love the blue silk sash! Way to use cabbage!
Thank you! I was glad to find a way to use these strips; the fabric is just so pretty.
Ooh, nice. Spring is just getting going here in the southern hemisphere, so it's great to have some summer wear inspiration. The finished garment is lovely, and would make an everyday summer dress with minor modifications.

5:30 - I really like this piece of music, and associate it with cutting out linen for historical base layers after your shift video of a couple of years ago.
I was thinking it would make a pretty modern dress too! And I’m glad you enjoy the music; I try to strike a balance between similar vibes and not having the same thing in every video.
I adore the blue sash against the white, such cooling colours. This looks amazing on you. Thanks again for a wonderful video.
In the middle of a heat wave where I am (+100F for 9 days) so just drinking water
Sooooooo with you on the autumn front. I am DONE with summer. I’ve been drinking Tulsi tea from our local farmer’s market.
Currently drinking a celebratory milkshake to close out a week of copious earl grey tea (academic research fuel!) 💚
You certainly deserve it friend! Your video this week was MASTERFUL!
Water... iced, shaken not stirred. Ah hell, who am I kidding. It's so hot the trees are melting. I'll drink it stirred as well.
Iced tea from a powder mix--very Canadian of me. This turned out great and I may have to put yet another thing on my making list.
Is it Good Host ice tea powder? Fellow Canadian here!
I'm pretty frequently going to reach for Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea with honey or some variety of chai blends. I have a strong appreciation for the flavors of cardamom and nutmeg and clove when mixed with black tea.
Love this! Looks comfortable, and perfect for the hot weather where you live.
It really is!
You should have 100K followers! Your channel is one of the absolute best on the tube❤️
Oh gosh thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Well I need to make this now…also, can I just say I adore the music you chose…makes me imagine adventure!
I'm sipping on a nice spicy herbal tea.
PG Tips today. Not feeling adventurous. This video is very timely. :) I've been wanting to make this chemise. Thank you !
I really want one of these for Pennsic next year!
Yesssss do it! I was thinking about trying to make it up there for the anniversary, if I do we should totally take pictures together!
I am drinking lime Perrier. With a dash of apple cider vinegar.
That looks cool for summer events. The year I did Pennsic in 87 I made garb based on "spring" by boticelli . They were also in their underwear but I didn't really care. Survival is more important, especially when one is from a climate that is much closer to the Arctic.
I am currently knitting a mix of baby clothes and shawls as gifts. The new granddaughter popped out early this morning. She couldn't wait for grandma to show up.
Oh wow congratulations! What a happy occasion!
@@OpusElenae grandma is secretly glad she didn't have to be in the room with the happy, messy event. I will be flying to nova Scotia on the 14th, a week before she was due, but sudden high blood pressure dictated otherwise.
Donating to the algorithm
About to have water with fruit and a light supper. But, maybe a heavy dessert. I got gifted some delectable Danish sweet "biscuit" (cookies, but snappy thin & crisp)
Love how this turned out!
Turned out great! The blue sash is a pretty pop of colour. 💙 An inspiration to attempt my own. Yes, as mentioned by others, your outfit would be complete with the leafy switch bundle 💚 🌿
Can re-enact The Watery Tart sans mercy et sword, make avec sodden sloppy switches! Witches with Switches? 🤔
MAIS, dammit. Ugh, autocorrect. Seriously, love your videos and work 💗
I still have yet to do the photo shoot for this outfit so I’ll see what I can do!
It looks great!
Congratulations 😁
ive been drinking lots of coffee lol. but most of the tea i drink now is from this amazing shop called alchemy of avalon. my favorites from them are anne boleyn (an earl grey rooibos with dried blueberries and elderberries), and uncle irohs jasmine dragon. very different but both wonderful. i also added some luster dust to a few cups to make my tea sparkle, because i saw you had a tea with that stuff in it, and it was so cool.
Beautiful! ❤
Been drinking Earl Grey Sweetened and with plant milk until it’s basically a dessert
Mmmmmm dessert tea…
HEB orange sparkling water, cranberry juice, ice, a squeeze of stevia and a shot of vodka. This is an item I need to make just for everyday wear…as I get older, bras have just totally lost what little appeal they ever had. The arthritis in my hands makes corset ties difficult… I wear mostly dresses (save for when woodworking) and this seems a good solution. Thanks and let’s get fall here asap…Texas needs cooler weather.
For a modern adaptation, I could see using a separating zipper (heavy duty) and adding a loop of ribbon around the pull for arthritis-friendly accessibility! That’ll save you time and trouble instead of lacing!
@@OpusElenae An excellent idea!
I’m having enchanted chai from kitchen witch teas.
Ooo...you lost me at lapsang soushong. Smoked tea is not me (heeey) cuppa. currently sipping some Stash double Chai
Totally not everyone’s thing; I have another from them that’s a maple flavor and it’s to die for!
Today - right now, in fact - I am drinking my Oats Overnight. Today I've got the berries & cream flavor!
PS - your video wher you wove the zebra stripe band encouraged me to dig out my inkle loom and continue the bi pride tablet woven band I have going! I'm like.. 3/4 - 4/5 done!
(Also, great name 😉)
Like Ankh Morpork's guild of seamstresses
YESSSSS
I’ve been drinking a vanilla chai with honey and soy milk lately.
Ye old wet t-shirt?
