2500: ‘getting dressed in the 21st century’
I'm sure we'll have the fuckin luck of having the only surviving videos being hypebeast type of shit
2 minutes long video
Arjiii TV ‘Getting dressed in 2019’
Getting dressed in the 21st century: Wake up, drink some coffee naked, then pick up something from the floor.
All these beauty gurus and lifestyle youtubers have an abundance of "get ready with me" videos already made. So future generations don't have to worry about making them.
historical fashion is just so interesting to me i don't know why
same, always has since I was 10
Same.
@@gliz2y I can take you back to this time? I know where a time machine is
i am watching this to know how characters in Witcher universe should look like
@@mikeymachinery8765 WHOAH! I'd love to go back in time, you could be the 14th Doctor Who and I'd be your companion like ROSE!
Oh thanks. I almost forgot how to dress. Haven’t woken up in 700 years. Life saver
😂😂😂😂 what a mood
Mood, though.

I am Japanese middle aged man, I don't know what English speaking sounds good or bad, but I think this woman's narrative of this video is tender, heartwarming, and remarkable!
I think so too! Her videos always are relaxing to watch before bed!
so true fren
Hai !
Only 1400s kids will remember.
Fwooba :p you mean 1300s 14th century means 1300s

1400 is the 15th century
What clothing store sell: shirts and etc
What i really want to wear:
Research Ovate
Same, I want to wear everything that women wore in the 18th century.
the high class/royal dresses back then were GORGEOUS
Let's make a club where we can all wear historical fashion from whatever era without the fear of judging eyes and hate comments! Since there are loads of people here who love this style we could TAKE OVER THE FASHION INDUSTRIES! ANd beCoMe oUr oWN HiStoRIcAL FasHIoN MoDeLS!
@@gliz2y YES IM IN
I told y'all Muslims weren't the only people who wore headscarves throughout history
We been knew fym
The difference is that the Muslim woman doesn't have the choice to wear or not wear
yes, but if muslimah they must wear it even she is not married yet.
@budaba khaka don't link me some video I live in a Muslim country and I see it with my eyes also I'm an ex Muslim so don't lecture me
@budaba khaka no honey in Islam a woman is told to be covered period.
I like how they film for the peasant women as well.
In the olden days women had things and belts specifically to hold pockets now we don’t even have pockets
Maria Sofia we have fake ass pockets
capitalism took its hold
i think its because.. we have bags now
I'd rather have pockets than bags..
Cuz we have handbags made out of sequin now!
Why am I watching this, I don't even live in 14th century
It's truly interesting though.
Voilin no shit
Then thou is not welcome in this section of comments
Stop being horrible on this! It makes me upset thinking about 1440 now THANKS A LOT YOU
LOL
My brain: Lets go to sleep now,
Me: OoOoOh let's learn how to get dressed in the 14th century!
😂😂😂😂🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Sally is still awake 😅
Not gonna lie but of all the eras, this is by far my favorite one. It look so soft and comfy not to mention very practical. If it were still in I would totally wear it.
I cant say the same for the hair though
I'm making my own 14th-century attire by hand and I'm going to wear it out.
@Ruby Rembiszewski Its about the dress not the hair.
@Ruby Rembiszewski I've just done some research on people of colour in Medieval Europe and it seems like women with your hair type would've just braided/styled it as necessary to wear the veil and/or cap on top of. I don't think that the way your hair is done matters too much, as long as the equipment is historically accurate.
I could hook my braids under my ears, my hair is down to my butt when natural
In my opinion the best time for fashion is Victorian,edwardian and 18th century 1890s is my absolute favourite though
This was not only extraordinarily fascinating, but also stunningly filmed and produced. The lighting, the music, the angles, the narration all worked together flawlessly. This is what I would call a piece of art as well as education. Fantastic, thank you very much!
I would agree on all of your points...except the music. I found it really irritating if not outright distracting. I guess one can argue about the choice of music but it was definetly to loud. Other then that, great piece and very enjoiyable.
@@lyrieladuial4901 AQ CL на 3
So sad that it displays a lot of wrong infos about length, shape, closing, layers, etc. :/
Yes, the lighting, especially in the beginning
Some Cut executive probably watches this series and quakes in their overpriced dress shoes wishing they could be this good lmao
I like these videos where they show how regular women, not just the super wealthy, lived and dressed.
yeah I really like the yoga they did
Good video, but I could do without the church music. It's creepy.
@@jaimiesalid3141Your opinion on the Church music. I think it's intensely beautiful and fitting for the time period.
@@jaimiesalid3141 just like the 14th century

OH SNAP...I thought I was the only one who builds campfires every morning on the bedroom floor and get dressed as the smoke surrounds me.
snap bruh
The smoke is most likely to help the oder of your body. They most likely had a bath once or twice a year
they needed it for heat
That smoke would keep mosquitoes carrying plague away. I just wonder what happened if she had a Shart.
For those of you saying that it would basically take a millennia to get dressed: the video is literally 7:08 minutes long.
I think it because we're used to on clothes in this time period it might take longer to put on the clothes in the video since we're not used to putting on so many layers
If there’s no lacing of garments, it doesn’t take long.
And it’s two people
April Hall thats no excuse. Look up priorattire here on TH-cam she’s gotten ready in full Victorian clothing in less than 15minutes.
They’re also filming this quite slowly in order for there to be time for a voiceover. I’m sure it didn’t take this long to get dressed
beautifully filmed!
priorattire lemme just ruin 444 likes
Unfortunately, the great explanatory voice-over is almost over-powered by the pseudo-gregorian sound-track. What were the filmmakers thinking of?
priorattire corset injury
Corset damaged

Why is it that the whole outfit just looks so comfortable? Lol
It looks really soft to me, ik it was prolly just sheet material, but it looks so soft! 😂

Very good video with an emphasis on detail and atmosphere. :)
Thank you!
CrowsEyeProductions yes I loved this a lot it made me think about 1440 my favourite date right now I had a good start with it

Am I the only one who watches these incase I travel back in time and need to fit in without being noticed?
This is an excellent video, beautifully made. The light coming through the window, the realistic simplicity of the furnishings, the natural appearance of the two women, the music, and most of all the beautiful voice of the narrator - all make for a video not only educational but a pleasure to watch and revisit. For some reason it always gives me a feeling of recognition, as if that time was familiar to me.
Oh my god, I wish I could just tell all the people who think that they'd overheat in those clothes that linen and wool is much more breathable than modern clothing. Essentially today we're wearing plastic bags over our skin.
Think about it, when you sleep in your beds, you place the blankets with the most polyurethane plastic on top because that is much more heat reflective than the cotton blankets.
Also, for all of you people saying that it must have been dreadfully uncomfortable and hot, think about it for a minute. Do you really think that your ancestors were so stupid that they'd go about wearing clothes that would give them heatstrokes?
Really?
No. People haven't changed since then. We always preferred comfort to discomfort.
One more thing to consider. Ever heard of Muslims? Look at how they dress in Saudi Arabia. You understand it's pretty hot in Saudi Arabia, right?
See, when you don't wear polyurethane plastic all the time, your clothing is much more breathable. They're not dropping dead from heat stroke in the desert, your ancestors in Europe wouldn't drop dead either.
Very cool, love your point
Ro Bastard, last summer, I wore long cotton dresses and a thin white long sleeved cotton blouse as sun protection.
I can tell you I was a million times cooler than when I wore shorts and a tank top. I was so much more comfortable.
Add a straw hat and I was able to step outside during the hottest days of summer. No disgusting sun block clogging my skin, too, making me hotter. This was 35*C weather in the shade.
@@hotjanuaryits better to cover yourself in the heat with breathable clothes as sun protection than taking on the sun head on. I live in southeast asia and ppl working hard labour will don some sort of hat or mask.
Yes. High-qualify natural fabrics are not cheap though. I splurged on two pairs of well-cut linen pants a while ago and during hot weather, they are cooler than wearing shorts while keeping my skin protected and appropriate for non-casual settings. However, the cost/ wear worked out very well for me: I found myself wearing them more often than cheaper clothes because they were so comfortable.
Also, the weather and temperature was very different in those times. Europe had experienced a mini ice age for a while. The people from the past dressed accordingly to what the temperature was.
Those outfits could block bullets.
Yea
XD
Ikr like how did people not die from the heat?!
Unless they did idk...
oi
what is thi bullet?

@@shirokimminjungparkjeon3358 Me, an indo-trini: hehe as well.
Thank you for these videos, one of the main reasons I became a fashion designer is my fascination with the history of fashion. It is so important to preserve the history and to show people the old fashion way, unfortunately most people take clothing for granted and don't even care about how garments came to be what they are today.
XI: I would like for museums and historians to do more detailed publishing of ancient clothing down to the pattern level so that we could see how clothes were constructed and that modern replicas could be accurately made.

These women would be so nasty by today’s standards though. Barf
everything about this is so relaxing. even the way the narrator pronounce the names ('linen smock' 'pleats', etc) sounds relaxing
I live in the old Saxon market town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. King Raedwald is still respected by many who have seen copies or pictures of his grave goods at Sutton Hoo, West Stow Anglo Saxon village reconstruction and the real treasure in the British Museum. They are fabulous in design and quality. One of our housing estates has roads named after Raedwald and several other Saxon heroes.
Thank you for showing this excellent video, please continue to make more videos about how the Anglo Saxons lived.

and the narrator has an excellent voice
People rarely had chimneys back then.
If you'll notice from the video Greenwood was put on the night's hot coals this was a form of deodorant only the rich could afford perfume the poor used to smoke bathing was rare.
Geez why do I get nostalgia from every video related to history
The maid’s outfit was so much more structured. I love it!!! It is very flattering really. And seems comfortable.
It's so interesting how we have alternated between comfortable and simple dressing and uncomfortable complicated dressing throughout history.

@@lucyvlogandart5166 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: The more curved and fitted surcoat with the larger side openings was not considered proper by some folks, especially the clergy. They dubbed this garment "the Gates of Hell".
Yuuup the pope was not pleased about that fashion choice
The richer women's sideless surcoats, with the shoulders falling off and the sides so deep & open don't look very practical, that's for sure.
I don't know about the "Gates of Hell," though; the grumpier of the men of the clergy probably had brain fever from their unwanted celibacy and so they blamed women whenever they caught sight of a woman wearing anything except a completely shapeless bag.
Lol!
I would truly love to try a medieval experience week where you have to dress, cook and live as they would have done back then. I think it would be an incredible and very humbling experience....
Become a Reenactor and experience all that :-)

@Britannia it's a joke
@Britannia your temper tantrum is cringe...
@Britannia first of all, I'm not even British, so why would I consider her a 'traitor'? not everybody on the planet is gonna be a catholic or a christian. that's just a fact and it doesn't bother me. any more than it bothered your British Queen Elizabeth Tudor who famously said that she, "Did not desire to see into men's hearts." when asked about religion. second of all, if you get offended seeing different people, don't go online because not everybody believes in the same things you do, or is going to be from the same small corner of the world that you're from (and will probably die in.) last of all, it's 2020 and nobody is going to destroy Britain with their copies of the Qur'an, the Torah, or the freaking Tripitaka. you're delusional. if you hear laughing...remember it's at you, never with you. 😩
Woah what did I miss-
I was born in the late 1940s in England and nobody would go out or be seen dead, without their heads covered by a hat or scarf, this carried on and ended in the 60s for whatever reason I don’t know, but I still love to wear a hat or headwrap/scarf.
Born in 1948, USA. While my mother hated hats and refused to wear them, my grandmother wouldn't leave the house without them. I never saw her in any kind of slacks or jeans. She was always dressed up. A trip into town whether for business or lunch with friends also required gloves. She continued to wear stockings long after the invention of pantyhose and only gave up seamed ones when they went extinct.
@@greyweather7768 There was a lot of things wrong back then. A lot. But dressing wasn't one of them.

I can't stop watching these, I find these videos super fascinating and I'm able to learn a little bit more about how they would dress in the past!
Linen is fantastic, more modern clothes need to be made out of it.
Linen is probably the best choice for warm weather because it has the highest heat conductivity of any natural fabric and it’s more then 26% less absorbing then cotton while being lighter, as well as being longer lasting.
The reason why linen is not used anymore is because of the cotton gin which allowed for easier processing of cotton while linen was all done the old fashioned way with out machines, it was only until the 1930s when a machine capable of processing flax fibres was invented but by then it was to late, but in recent times flax fibres like linen and hemp have made a comeback
Imagine travelling back in time and just show up in modern time clothes. Their minds will blow up from us wearing less than that.
you would for sure be killed, especially if you´re a woman
They would burn you at the stake for practicing witchcraft xD
Not Muslims we would be respected if we dress according to our religious beliefs.
Laena Everwood you don't have to travel back in time just travel to a Muslim country and try it.
The Founding Fathers i won't say you will get punished but you will not feel a part of country
Do you have a video or would ever make a video for the dressing of higher born women?
We plan to do this, but it's going to be expensive because we need to make the (much more lavish) clothes. We'll tackle the easier subjects first!
CrowsEyeProductions
ooo thank you!! Videos about how fashion was like in the past interest me a lot! Despite me having barely any knowledge about times back then.
CrowsEyeProductions thanks for replying! and yeah, it would be more expensive, so i’ll probably have to wait :( but i’ll keep watching these amazing videos!
CrowsEyeProductions How about 1340’s day in the life or something? I understand it’s expensive to make vids in one go
The narrator's voice and the background music was just pure magic!!!
These clothes are so much more fashionable than clothes today honestly...
If I could do so without standing out I’d totally dress like this
Won't you think it would be uncomfortable?
Doesn't look uncomfortable like later fashions do, just the no underpants thing but that's an easy fix.
I say if it's your style, go for it. Wear it for you.
bealisjamism jonathan but walking outside in booth shorts and your cleavage showing isn’t? I think baggy clothing would be both cool and warm
I dont think it will be comfortable those clothes dont stretch id rather wear jeans and a tee shirt/sweater
When they say they didn’t wear underwear for practicality, I get it. But then I’m like, what happens when she has her period? 👀
Don't worry, periods were a 21st century invention.
I heard that the term on the rag came from women having to sit on piles of rags during their periods.
they probably did wear something once a month. a common one in history, during periods where men wore some kind of suspenders, was using them to suspend a cloth from the waist.
I think they may have had a wooden tampon- like thing that was wrapped in cloth. I heard something like this a few months ago on another historical video , but dont know for sure if its 100% accurate.
They used (in various cultures) wool for tampons, pads of various materials tied by fabric strips, they sat on hay or other absorbent materials for a few days resting. And other very cool & interesting things!
Thank you for this video, it was really helpful in visualizing what every clothing piece was for and how it was put on
I could watch these videos ALL DAY LONG. It's so interesting and fun to learn and watch. I'm obsessed with history. If I could choose to go 100+ year's into the future, or 100+ year's back into the past, I'd chose the latter EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I don't wanna know what this world will look like in 100+ year's from now.
However, I'm a huge history buff, and if I can learn, I'm there. 😊😊
Not having to wear a bra and panties sounds fantastic
Alexis
but imagine the stair/running issues
Alexis Not for big busted ladies or women with more discharge. I'm glad I have the option to be supported.
Hahaha!
I don't wear a bra, but I like my panties.
Although, with these long and thick dresses, I can see how not wearing them isn't much of a problem.
You have the option to not wear them today if you want however I think panties are rather necessary
They must’ve dreaded laundry day......
And waste our drinking water!
laundry was done only on an as-needed basis. Common folk did not have more than one set of clothes. Cost was the driving factor. Washing bodies was not done generally more than once or twice per year, to celebrate sowing seed and then reaping the harvest. The rest of the year you wore your clothes to do everything from eating, sleeping, working and any other activity. Poor people just didn't have access to water, soap was most likely herbs or fire ash mixed with lard or other fat. No one worried about body odor because everybody, even the wealthy and noble, stank. truly wealthy people would carry dried fruits, flowers or herbs to hold against the nose, for truly offensive odors. Finally, if you were wealthy, your servants did all the work and survived only by what was given to them by their "betters", unless they were fortunate enough to be able to farm. The past is never as pretty as Hollywood would have us believe. People lived hard and died young. Especially the poor.
@@flapkatt6094 This will depend on situation and which countries dictating accessibly. People were concern about hygiene. They weren't stupid, and beside there is the river.
@@flapkatt6094 actually records from wills in the 15th and 16th centuries show that even the poorest laborers had at least two shirts, and those were rotated and washed regularly. Overgarments were rarely washed since it was much more difficult to clean wool as opposed to linen (which is still true). There is a great illumination I think in the Tres Riches Heures of medieval laundry where women are washing linen in pots and rivers

This is one of those odd great video topics that make TH-cam so great. Imagine pitching this as a TV show, even to the History Channel when it still had shows on history.
This is such an amazing and informative video! I have been fascinated by the medieval period since I was in high school at age 16, and I am now a university student working towards a history major, and the medieval period continues to be the most fascinating to me, with the 14th century being my favorite century.
Wanna talk about it?
If they keep making pants without pockets I’m gonna start dressing like this
DO IT DO IT LIVE YOUR DREAMS
@@fuzzytheduck6821 I LIKE YOUR WAY OF THINKING
Watch the 18th century ones before you decide though, their pockets were superior to everything!!
Same sis, same
It would be great if you do a male version for these getting dressed in different eras. And maybe, do some for different cultures 😃
I would love do do clothing of other cultures, but if we do we will work closely with the people for whom the culture is their own.
Pauline Loven i know, it would be a lot of work and research.
bigzit ent. no they just have to have insider experts of that culture do the styling and presenting

Another, excellent, atmospheric film. Well done and thanks.
I honestly prefer the fashion then to the crap people wear nowadays
It's so sad! Of all the eras we are the ones who dress more poorly. It's like people don't even care anymore.
You can enjoy certain styles of dress without bashing what other people also like! We all have our own preferences, and that's okay :)
@@WhiteWalkerFanXx09 that's true but I was refering to how poorly clothes are made especially fast fashion and how terrible fabrics are. My t-shirts from h&m get holes within a year of buying them if I'm lucky, those fabrics suck. Lot's of clothea now are made with synthetic fabrics like polyester (basically plastic) that make us sweat and smell. In other eras fabrics were better quality and clothes were made to last. There are beautiful clothes now too but to get quality now we have to pay a huge amount and it's much harder to find.
@@scatteredseedsofhappiness3285 Ah, I see. Yeah that's certainly true.
@@scatteredseedsofhappiness3285 maybe you should be more careful with your clothes and not blame it on the brand/ shirt itself
Can you do one for the 1200s?
it would be basically the same for most of the dark ages with really only some variations in culture (eastern european clothes were a little different from western european, or someone from Venice might have nicer clothes than someone in Flanders)
A 16th century one then - from servant, middle class merchant ect. that would be cool.
Rosalina 90 The 16th century wasn't medieval it was modern not sure if you know that maybe you do
The middle ages were not dark. The dark ages happened in Greece, when writing was forgotten, far before the Middle Ages.
well, the dark ages is commonly accepted to have taken place from around 500 to 1066 CE, when the middle ages began. they are referred to as the dark ages because of the lack of written documents from the period after the fall of the roman empire, thus making it, from an informational perspective, dark. so the late 11th century to around the 1450's was the middle ages. the time period portrayed in this video is the high middle ages, and the 12th century is later in the early middle ages, placing the two times a little ways apart, however the clothing would be still similar enough that there would be very little difference.
I wonder if the smoke irritated her eyes during the video
No chimney yet in this period I think.
@@jessib3922 chimneys were invented in the Tudor Era
Reasonable to think that the fire was filmed separately and the smoke in the video was either a fog machine or a different smoke that wouldn't be as irritating
I think she put some sticks with fragrance over the burning coals. Some Arabs still use spices for fragrance in the same way that will be absorbed in the clothes.
That was fragrant wood to make clothes smell nice.
Seeing her body, throught her clothes, thank to the sun without revealing much is beautiful ! Like art !
I loved this video so much that I made the first outfit. This was a great and informative video! Thanks for making it!
The way the actresses look and move really makes it seem like theyve done this a thousand times

*sees ankle
*starts sweating
I love this video! Exactly what I was looking for !
Ok but the braids with the linen in them are so cute
for the people who ask, what did they do when they had their periods: 1. there was probably more female underwear around in the middle ages than is generally shown. Male researchers don't like the idea of it and there's very little research into it. 2. Consider that women in the past were on their periods FAR LESS OFTEN than we are today. A woman has no period when she is pregnant and neither when she is breastfeeding a baby (for a certain time, after which fertility returns and the possibility to become pregnant and with this periods start again even if she can keep breastfeeding the first child). There was no contraception available then so women would have had babies very often. Also when your nutrition is lacking, girls mature phyisically later in life than today and if the nutrition situation is very bad and you're starving, your period stops. this effect is known in modern women when they suffer from anorexia. Frequent times of starvation might sadly have been a regular experience for many people in the middle ages. 3. underwear, also for men, could be constructed in a very simple way (a cloth and a string...) and it's not far fetched to say that women could fashion something to wear a rag between their legs during the period.
It's true that it was basically an unspoken topic until the 20th century but to be honest women used old fabric which was a nightmare in itself because they couldn't dry them "in the open:" even if it was in their own house. There was too much stigma. Although it's true what you say about pregnancy, miscarriages, and sex (Do tearing) and post baby bleeding was still very common. Also is it true that women never menstruate during breastfeeding ? That s not exactly true, as some of us are born 10 months apart and of course some siblings are only a year apart. Menstrual products were feminist products in themselves but they didn't start becoming marketed until the twenties
Perhaps they also would sit & rest during their periods on a seat of hay or other absorbent material, as in more ancient times?
@@notthedoctor8621 If breastfeeding a woman can go up to a year or longer without menstruating, but ovulation normally returns 6 weeks or sooner post childbirth.
In olden times menstruation was seen as something that made a woman's whole body unclean so they wouldn't have mingled much with others during that time, they probably just stayed in bed for a few days.
My grandmother came from a rather undeveloped country and what she does is either you take pieces of rags or something absorbent and place it between the lips of the vagina and you will be walking funny or they just used sponges and shoved em up there. She says women in the family have been doing it for years. So count yourself blessed
You can just imagine how everyone must have smelled like smoke all the time.
oh geez... that would've been the good smell... I imagine they smelled like quite a lot of other things and not just smoke-- but they may have not recognized it as they all smelled bad.
Compared to unwashed body odor (I have a relative who seems to hate soap), I'll take smoke from a fireplace every time. And if the smoke in the 1300's helped cover up their lack of bathing, more power to the fireplace! Lol.
Smoke at best lol probably usually of sweat, mud or soil.
@@seanettles657 nah. they bathed super regularly, with scented soap, wore clean clothes, and threw flowers done on their floors. the cooking smells would have been worse
the first thing they did in the video was throw some wet thing (can't remember the name of it) on the fire, that was most likely to get a scented smoke, like incense
This channel needs to be required viewing for anyone working on a Hollywood period piece.
6:17 is like how my aunts do their hijabs😃😃 I'm like wait that look is familiar😂😂
i keep seeing comments on the many layers of clothing seeming redundant.. It was a very Logical and Necessary thing to do ---
and actually if you have ever worn linen you will find it quite cool to wear (& if it gets wet its COLD) - in a world of No central heating & not even heated stoves - just open fires meant it got Seriously bone chilling COLD even indoors.
Linen, unlike now was Much less expensive so layers were then as now, a way to stay warm. the more layers or adding layers of wool was designed for warmth and welcomed.
The covering of hair had great practical reasons as well. again having to do with warmth more than much else. when it was a major production to heat water to wash long hair you did what ever you could to keep it clean as long as possible head coverings did that - protected from dirt and ash (from open fires) etc & the laborious act of washing the hair was needed less often
have seen/done this myself so i know these things work - far more comfortable overall than modern clothing
The several layers were absolutely necessary to protect the under garments. The outer layers were cheaper/easier to replace than the more expensive ones underneath.
Getting dressed in 2050 : NO CLOTHES
After what I saw walking around a doctor's office yesterday (overweight women in form fitting dresses made of very thin cheap fabric that shows EVERY nook and cranny - hard not to see it they are in my face with it) I would conclude that we are just about there!
val Fletcher ewww
The 14th century is the 1300s :).
Nope, just things to hardly cover the private parts, 2100 no clothing
XDXD
This so fun and interesting to watch even though I’m Eleven I still find watching historical fashion fascinating ❤️
I'm searching dresses like this they are just sooo beautiful and interesting to me. I imagine wearing them when I live alone even though I live in a super hot place. The colors I love them
So happy they had the time to film this in the 14th century
... I’m now tempted to start carrying my fiber pouch, drop spindle, and distaff on a belt. That’s actually one benefit to the days I need to use my wheelchair - no need to drop my knitting when I need to move! Just plop it on my lap and go.
You go girl! What've you made lately?
Quick question: what’s a distaff
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distaff
I am loving these videos so much!
Love every one of your vids. History come alive!
so the belt is really just a 14th century fanny pack
.... you're not wrong
More like your pockets tbh.
Yep.
I know my husband would love to see some videos geared towards men! He just finished his 13th century maille suit and is looking to complete it with linen cloths.
Ooo Renn Faires here you come!
@Claystead lol
Me too!!! I wonder what type of clothes men wore!
These outfits look warm. Great video 😮.
The head covering looks so elegant ♡
I’m getting heat stroke from just watching her get dressed.
This Garment is very comfortable also on a hot summer day. Until 1350 it was warmer than today.
Was it? I thought that the Little Ice Age started at the beginning of the 13th century but I could be mistaken. Otherwise I'd say they needed the extra layers to keep warm.
@@BeautifulGoodbye13 If you look at the codex Manesse, you see a sudden change of dresses around 1350, clearly indicating a change in climate. Especially the men's clothes became much thicker and warmer an more adopted to wet and muddy ground.
Its actually quite comfortable and breathable!
The natural cloths where better for hot days then todays synthetic cloths.
Are talking about the sexy heat or the layers?
I feel like some Catholic/Anglican religious sisters dress in the same way today.
JeremyColeAlexander That is because many of the religious orders started around this time, in the mid-late Middle Ages.

Thanks, I figured that was why, but wasn't sure if the Church influenced the fashion or if the habit was influenced by the culture, I'm sure it's circular, like a "what came first, the chicken or the egg" cliche. Haha
Religious garments were modeled on the simple and basic clothing of peasants; the ordinary people to instill modesty and thrift.
weird.. moslem dress almost the same way
You "feel" like they do? I can't even imagine what that means.
Wow, at least we know they kept warm! I prefer this type of outfit, way more comfortable looking.
Idek how many times I’ve watched this straight fire man
This is educational and the narrator has an soothing voice 😍
Gosh, how did they not get heat stroke with all that clothing
knocknockify it was in linen but I doubt they wore all those layers
Well, different fabrics aren't as heat absorbent. Rayon isn't a bad clothing fabric for the summer.
knocknockify natural/non-artificial fabrics worn back then
This video is specifically about England, so probably because England doesn't get very hot hahaha
Because they didnt live in indonesia for sure
Me in the 14th century pinning my scarf to my headband thingy:
“OUCH, Jesus Christ that’s the 3rd time this week I’ve stabbed myself in the forehead putting this damn thing on!”
That’s me when I trim my white skins hanging off. One day emptied the dishwasher as my daily chores I would do, I felt a blade and cut myself badly that the blood ran down my hand it’s horrible but my hand is better now
The head coverings are so pretty.
