In a single day I made five historically inspired skirts specifically to be lazy and keep on historybounding while staying cozy at home. It's essentially cottagecore meets 90s gamer. I'm pretty excited for you all to see them.
    These skirts are modeled after skirts and petticoats from different historical eras, and so you can feel your best Victorian self, romp about in 18th century fashion, or take on variations throughout history! The world of historybounding and historical petticoat fashion is at your fingertips!

    I’m a big fan of lazy Historybounding. Given that I’m disabled and mostly bedbound, I wear nighties all day every day. So I just switched to wearing shifts and chemises. Fully historical, fully comfy. I also made a wrapper using an 18thC banyan pattern that I (using extra fabric I added there) pleated over the shoulders from waist to waist, which gives a very 1860s silhouette. It’s made out of thin cotton bedsheets that used to belong to my great grandmother, and it’s perfect for chucking on over my shift or chemise for those times when I need to be a bit more presentable, but I don’t want to get dressed (like for when support workers or delivery people come in).
    I’m also planning on making some warm petticoats for next winter (it’s currently almost summer here, and I’m not happy about it), because what’s better than wearing a blanky? Well, I usually can get away with wearing an actual blanket on my lap- perks of being a wheelchair user. But still - blanky attached at the waist seems like a nice idea. For those days when I can’t be in bed, but I’m not actually out of the house.

      I really am not made for this weather. I belong back in Scotland where my family came from. Unfortunately, I’m just far enough removed to not automatically get a visa, and no way is any country willingly taking on someone who can’t work and needs to be supported in very expensive ways. So I’m stuck here. I’d move to outside of Toowoomba again, but while the weather is better, the people are most definitely not (no offence, but there’s a reason I moved back to Brisbane, and it wasn’t because I missed humidity). I do miss the fog though. Very impressive fog at Highfields.
      If I knew anyone and could afford it, I’d move to Tasmania. But that’s unlikely. Looks like I’ll just have to deal with the atrocious weather and bloody awful heat. It’s like trying to live in soup- hot and wet. Ugh.

    I often find myself walking around in nightgowns, dresses and skirts, so this is an excellent idea and I will definitely make myself some simple loafing skirts. My way to determine if a skirt is lounge worthy is if I can sit with my legs crossed without fighting the fabric, and if it can cover my feet when I curl up for warmth.

    I love these lounge petticoats and aspire to such advanced loafing as the backwards ottoman pose. I prefer my loungewear not have a waistband, so my favourite historybouding loungewear is (are?) extremely floofy chemises, such as Italian Renaissance or Tudor-style, made of bed linen from a charity shop. Flannel sheets are superb for cosy warmth. Dinosaur sheets are excellent for amusing yourself and any delivery people you may encounter that day. I recently found dinosaur princess flannel sheets and I will probably live in these until April

    The petticoats are delightful. I've long realized that my garb (sca 950's norse) is far more comfortable than modern clothing. For my lazy history bounding, I've been making tunics for daywear, and undertunics as sleepwear. I have plans for banyans in the spring, unless of course i decide to make one out of the thickest flannel I can find.

    YES! Historical loafingwear! This is extremely relevant to my interests/level of sewing skill!
    I made a Skjoldehamn-style norse-era hood out of unlined polar fleece (because it's what I had - hey, wool is bloody expensive, and this is practical and waterproof!) It's easily the comfiest thing I own, is pretty fool-proof to make (all squares and rectangles), and apparently 'screams Viking' according to my horrified mother!

    • @bunhelsingslegacy3549
      @bunhelsingslegacy3549 Před 2 lety +2

      Don't feel too bad about using polarfleece.... I'm still working on the "historybounding" part of my loafing wardrobe so currently most of my loafwear is polarfleece (storebought PJ pants in ridiculous patterns and homemade sweatshirts in the most ridiculous patterns I could find at the fabric store, or sometimes leftovers or remnants) because 1) it wears like iron, I've seriously worn garments of that stuff for a decade and they're still fine long after I've rotted through cotton, 2) stretchy = comfortable, 3) machine washable, and 4) unless you get it full of sawdust or cotton lint from washing it with towels, it is ALWAYS soft against the skin, which I find especially important since I haven't worn a bra in almost two years now! And if it should start getting a bit pilled on the interior, two minutes with a hairbrush and it's all nice again.
      Flannnel also makes for pretty awesome and inexpensive loafwear, I have done two rectangles-and-gores housedresses in purple flannel and if I find more flannel of an appropriate shade I'll make more!

      Yes! I made a wrapper from a banyan pattern, but I added extra fabric worth at the shoulders. Then I pleated over the shoulders, back waist to front waist, and it gave me an 1860s silhouette. In very thin cotton bedsheets that used to belong to my great grandmother, so it’s light enough that I can wear it even in a Brisbane (subtropical Australian) summer. Highly recommend.
      It’s so swishy too, and it’s the perfect thing to chuck on for when I don’t want people to see me in just my nightie (a chemise or shift), but I don’t want to get dressed. I’m disabled, so I don’t get fully dressed unless I’m leaving the house, and I only do that once a week. The wrapper is amazing and I recommend everyone have one.

      If you make the panels of a skirt with side openings slightly wider than half your waist each, they overlap so that you don’t have to worry about anything being visible through the side slits, and you can also access tie-on pockets through them, which means you don’t need to make pockets in each skirt.

    Good to see you staying cosy with warm long petticoat styles in a cool climate.
    I wear long skirts most days except in summer when gardening but i'm much lazyer than you . I bought a couple of needle cord Per Una skirts from a charity shop 15 years ago for £2 and £3 and as they are thorn proof wear them for heavy work through the winter with long linen and silk skirts also second hand and under £3 each worn as petticoats under for warmth. Indoors I wear second hand velvet skirts from Monsoon to sit about reading or knitting. I only bother to make skirts from local Welsh wool for shopping and other 'public apearance' Too lazy to sew unless it's special but I have always dressed with an ancient outline ever since I bought from Laura Ashley's first shop.

    I really do appreciate your posts. All of this skirt wearing by the costumers to whose channels I subscribe has finally drilled into my head that I don't like skirts. I am a child of the 50's. I was not allowed out of the house without wearing a skirt/dress - to the extreme event that when I was living with my G-ma in Iowa in the early 60's when elementary aged girls were allowed to wear pants on PE days, and low temp days, my mother, who had come to visit over the holidays that year, upon finding out that I had worn pants to school brought a dress to school and told my teachers that I was not to be allowed to get on the bus home without changing into a dress. I graduated from high school in 1971, left home for college, moved into blue jeans, and have not looked back.

    Just revisiting your video after working on my 18th century plaid wool petticoat to reminisce about how easy this 100% handsewn project was going to be for me. I lament asking my husband about the waistband which he thought would look better in self fabric. Matching plaid stripes from a pleated skirt to a waistband is tedious. Trying to keep the waistband from being floopy or bulky is mind boggling. So, here I am several days past when my lazy project would have been wearable had I just used a ribbon tie waistband instead. The moral is, don't ask for opinions and keep it simple when you want an easy lazy skirt. Alas, I expect the finished petticoat to be gratifying. Thanks Liz for all of your fun content!

    This is just what I needed, since the plague started I've been sewing again and the historical stuff really gets my attention but my rule is whatever I make must be everyday wearable, since I already have a closet full of pretty stuff I never wear because I'll wreck it or it's not comfy for lounging and I never go anywher fancy. I've got a handful of sweatshirts I've made from polarfleece (it's comfy, washable, durable and doesn't grate my nips off if I'm not wearing a bra which I haven't done in almost two years now), a linen tunic style tshirt that I'm going to make more of cause I wore it all summer (both copied from purchased garments), and I made two medieval-style rectangles-and-gores flannel housedresses that I use for loungewear. I've also got a linen dress in the same style and two short linen shifts I wear as undershirts. I'm onto second mockup of a half-corset to try to use as a sports bra in the hopes it'll be more comfortable than a bra, and I've made a few shirts and blouses and before summer, i need to finish the linen medieval summer kirtle pinafore to wear over those blouses... I aim for fabric efficiency, durability and comfort. Thank you for giving me more ideas!!
