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.
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
Love the riding footage at the end! So fun to see dressage in full regalia.
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!
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?”
That riding outfit could double as a Pirate Queen
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 my Victorian tie on pockets to death. I can fit three water bottles into one pocket, it’s brilliant
I like how the riding habit skirt draped over the rear of the horse, very elegant
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!
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.
My dyslexia Changed 1690 to 1960 I was confused for a while before I realized xD
Siriuslygeeky -Batman 😂😂😂
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.
I love that you actually rode a horse in this thing! What an incredible way to bring history to life.
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.
i have to say you are a timeless women, with a face that lends itself to all periods of history
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
As a writer, thank you. This makes things easier to describe.
All i can think is Captain Hook at the second outfit
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.
Wow, the riding outfit was amazing! You looked lovely on Coralito, what a beautiful boy.
Coralito is beautiful! He wasn't cooperating because he knows his best side for filming. :)
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 absolutely adore how the riding attire is just straight up Captain Hook the whole way through!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very good! My kitty says she likes the purple skirt where she could sit on the train and ride along as you walked!
Damn girl you can ride! Hats off ;)
No pun intended? XD
This was fantastic. It's so romantic and I feel I could have gotten on quite well in that time.
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 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!
I can see a lady sneezing, and her hat flopping down to smack her in the face!
Looks like a lady Captain Hook!
The second one you look like some rich and famous female pirate ready to board her huge and immaculate ship.
Coralito wanted a good profile shot! He knows his good angle and he wants to show it off.
Thanks for the video. As always, it was both entertaining and informative. You look incredibly formidable as the Lady Captain Hook.
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!
The riding outfit reminds me of Captain hook for some reason
The horse looked like he was having fun...
The riding outfit makes me want to shout: Aye, aye Captain!
is it just me or does the hunting outfit you wore kinda look like a female version of captain hook?
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.
To be honest I'm quite amazed the pins stay on.
I can see why the mantua was popular. Looks comfy.
I am dazzled by the riding coat...
I LOVE this just as I LOVE all of your informative videos included with your historic creations. Your equestrian skills are amazing too!
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!
Is no one gonna mention how her hunting attire looks like captain Hook? Cause it's fantastic!
Same period.
It does
Just watching that was exhausting 😥 But beautiful outfits and nice work preserving this era of fashion 😁
Today we run around naked in comparison.
Both outfits are beautiful but the riding habit looked superb, especially during the dressage. Red is your colour.
The color of the dress is gorgeous!
You look like a lady Pirate Captain in that red suit, awesome!
To think that 17th century fashions stared out with ruffs and farthingales, and ended with fontanges and mantuas. What a rapid century it was.
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...
Do so appreciate these history lessons!
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!
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.
Your videos are just fascinating. Thanks for sharing a bit of history with us in each one.
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 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!
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!!!
Gaston as a lady
Ella Edwards i was gonna say Captain James Hook
Oh yea i can see that too
That hunting outfit looks like it costs a Kings ransom!
Yeah, that's exactly what I always wear when I'm out hunting with the girls.
Ooh the picture of the rearing stallion with you in full costume was really nice.
Anyone else thinking pirate queen? No? Just me? Okay
The clothes are one thing but watching you ride in them is a completely different thing! Hats off to you. You looked fantastic riding side saddle with all those skirts on that fancy boy. How long have you been riding and doing side saddle dressage?
I'm simply fascinated with your channel. I've always loved the different historical Lady's dress. You're so knowledgeable. I'm thrilled I found your channel. I've been binge watching your videos with your gorgeous outfits one after another. I really enjoy the descriptions you so kindly put throughout explaining things. I shared your channel with my Mom as well. She is where I get my love of historical dress. May I ask, what is your favorite era or style of dress and why? If you don't mind saying. You're quite the expert so I would love to know. Thank you for sharing your wonderful world with us. God bless you. 💗
Ridiculously gorgeous.
I thought it was a whole dress but it really was layers of tops and bottoms...
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
You look like Belatrix Lestrange with that wig at the end!
Quite an accomplishment. Riding sidesaddle!
I love this outfit it's beautiful gorgeous colors
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!
Loved the riding attire. Very fetching.
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.
I didn’t know she wore hair pieces at first and when she started taking them out, I almost screamed
Beautiful pieces. I love your 1690's " power suit"!
That last pic though... Thats so coooll!!!
I love your videos!!!!!! Please keep making them, they are so fascinating!!!!!
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
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.
Fabulous look, and the horse was great too!
Coralito wanted only his best side filmed! Stallions are so vain. 😉
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 these Videos! I can't wait to show my daughter
the second look is amazing, i actually want to try it on
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.
Out of all the eras you've worn dresses for which one would you not mind living in?
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!!!* 🤣
