This video is the introduction to a long-term, open ended project I'm about to start, all about making capsule wardrobe that can fit within the 1590s through the 1620s range, with a primarily English focus on styling. My goal is to get a base outfit made by sometime this summer, and then add pieces to it here and there as I go. Step one is to finally wash my linen so I can get started on a new shift.
