I hadn’t appreciated that these looks were made up by assembling so many separate (and adjustable) components and not continuous garments. It makes good sense for movement at the joints and adapting to body changes in pregnancy etc. So interesting!
I remember hearing that maternity clothes didn't exist before like 50 years ago, and I wondered what women did before? And then learning that clothes were adjustable, and built to be so, and my mind was blown! I would love it if more of my clothes could be adjustable now!
A good reason for this could have been for washing convenience. Doing laundry was difficult work and fabric incredibly expensive. If you soil your sleeve it might be better to just wash that segment instead of a whole dress.
This is also why one of the most prized practical skills in a lady in waiting was dressmaking - they were like the couturiers of the day bc royalty often set fashion trends
Thank you for showing the French hood being worn properly and not just as a headband. Hollywood gets it so wrong with Tudor dress. I also love that the lady in waiting is the same lady from The Girl With A Pearl Earring video!
But they did not show it being worn properly…the hoods were made from separate pieces and laid completely flat,without the raised crest/headband that everyone always portrays. The part mistaken for the crest was actually the fabric folded over a certain way.
@@ninagordon9494 Right, although this hood is already better than most, it's still not entitely historically accurate. There are some great video's about the french hood. Samantha Bullat has an awesome one. Also, with the badge they indicate the reign of Elizabeth I, but this style Tudor dress is 1st halve 16th century. Elizabethan dress was quite different. But nevertheless, a very lovely video!
@@KayFaverus right Samantha Bullat is just who I was thinking of! Also, if you’re referring to the badge show at around 6:37, this is actually the personal badge used by Catherine Parr!
I love the amount of black fabric used, even for the maids! Black was the most expensive color of dye for centuries and that amount shows how wealthy the royals really were, that Catherine Parr could outfit even her maids in black fabric.
@@Idk-kz2fk Black is probably one of the most difficult shades to achieve using natural dyestuff. It's usually a mixture of things and a multi-part process to achieve. Getting a really true inky black is nearly impossible so that made it really only in the reach of the wealthy. Even though there were sumptuary laws, even poor people tried to have something that made them look "rich", even if it was only a bit of embroidery on a collar using black thread. I've dyed wool black using only natural dyestuff. Took me forever. I had to dye with logwood to produce a dark true blue then overdye it with walnut husks which produce a very dark brown depending on how strong you make your dye, then "sadden" it with iron filings soaked in vinegar. It made a nice browny-black but would have been a "fugitive" color, meaning in the real world, I'd have to re-dye the garment from time to time to keep the black color. I used it to make my own needlepoint yarn so I won't ever have to re-dye it later. That's a different post altogether, though. LOL
I guess purple was hard to create because of the difficulty and rarity of obtaining the pigments used to make it. In other words, the purple pigment was extremely expensive and difficult to obtain in massive quantities - but once you had the expensive pigment, the actual colouring of the clothes was a simple process. I guess black was made up of lots of different things that were plentiful individually, but getting the clothes to actually BE a deep black was a tricky and complicated manufacturing process?@@anastasia_852
Great production. It's strange to consider that so much of the clothing came in seperate pieces such as the sleeves and the cuffs, but designed to give the impression that it's all one single or two-layered garment.
@@TryinaD Great point! They’d also be easier to adjust as the body changed, for example with pregnancy. Separate pieces also made cleaning and movement more practical.
It would've taken too much cloth to make it all one single piece, I assume. If it was a whole garment underneath the outwear then it is kind of a waste of cloth that doesn't even show for the most of time, considering the cloth was much more labor-intensive and therefore expensive at that time
As I sit here in my worn jeans and plain cotton shirt, I am amazed at the textiles and amount of fabric that used to go into clothing. Just beautiful all around!
But you probably also have more textiles in your overall wardrobe than many of them did. They had dresses to last for many many years with slow changes and many mends. I wish it were that way today, honestly.
@@theverbind I really like the idea of repurposing fabrics and making clothing last. I try to repair anything that gets worn, and I also redye my clothing to freshen them up. We are such a “wear it and throw it away” society.
And it was all hand made. She didn't had a bath or a shower first. All these cloths must have been a heavy weight. I am glad that I didn't live in that time of age.
Pinning the decorative panel on a regular kirtle is sooooo smart- that way they can look like the have a full brocade underdress without needing one made of a lot of fabric
we need to bring that front lacing kirtle back lol. a simple throw-on dress with a built in corset/bra, and a nice silhouette too. i want one for myself
You can't even imagine how excited I was to see this pop up! Your films are so interesting, entertaining and beautifully executed. Thank you so very much for producing this content for all of us to see and absorb.
The first one is so simple yet so beautiful. And the lady in waitings clothing is simply exquisite. I can see that this style of dress must have been the inspiration for some of Cerci Lannisters costumes.
I believe the Lannisters were inspired by the Lancasters, and the Starks by the Yorks in the War of the Roses (Henry Tudor joined the two roses into the "Tudor Rose" as a very successful PR move, we still recognize it today), so it's not really a surprise.
If I'm not wrong Cersei's clothing referenced this, but also had some Japanese, or broader East Asian influences. Her clothes often overlapped at the centre front, like a kimono. Plus the material was Japanese paper silk, and the embroidery too (if you remember the blue kimono with the hummingbird embroidery) had some Japanese elements.
I love those wide bell sleeves matched with the girdle/jewelry "belt". They highlight the waist so nicely and are two of my favorite features of the Tudor silhouette.
Lovely as always! I like how you show people of different social statuses, and how similar clothing items could mark those differences in their materials and ways of wearing.
I think it's more eco friendly to have clothing made in pieces like this actually; for size changes or needed new parts but not discarding the whole garment like modern people do.
You guys do it best! I still miss my Mom when I watch these; I'd either wait to watch them with her or I'd share them, once she was diagnosed and was ill. I'm sure she'd appreciate all you do, as do I! Keep making history more real and accessible for the public. You guys rock!
This is awesome! The models all are gorgeous and i love how they 'hid' so many little ties and pins (oh my, so many pins) to make it appear as one tailored dress back then, so clever!
The contrast among the different social classes in the way they dressed and prepared for the day is not only fascinating but also not talked about enough.
Speaking as a reenactor who has worn both the noblewoman and the maid, who worked our equivalent of a nine-to-five (herding, spinning, weaving and a ton of other essential jobs were done by women, especially things they could do at home while dinner cooked with however many children to mind), no, the rich couldn’t. But those women wouldn’t have been working that hard anyway. The maid could absolutely undress herself that fast. I can get out of stays/a corset in just as little time if I did it up myself.
The Royal dress is beautifully fashioned and visually stunning; Tudor power dressing par excellence. A wonderful advertisement for the costumiers' involved.
I’m BLOWN AWAY by how incredibly gorgeous the Lady-in-Waiting’s outfit is, they had such style back then! Doesn’t hurt that she resembles Olivia Hussey, she’s a beauty
I love these videos, they depict perfectly all the layers that most people don't know about, great I think for people interested in historical dress who don't know where to start developing knowledge.
I like how we see the maid and the lady in waiting; they contain much the same elements (with varying complexities), but we got more background info because it's spread across 2 outfits.
i'm currently reading a book on kindle about tudor royal households and this popped up on my youtube algorithm! 😮 this is so helpful to visualize what i'm reading! ❤
I was looking through some older videos just yesterday. I'm so glad to see this pop up in my notifications! I love that you show the working class fashions as well that of the rich. .
I love that they actually look tensed in this video. It gives a sense of reality compared to the smiles more often in other ones ! As nice as it is, it looks more like a demo of models when they smile all the time ;)
I'm a 16th century Scottish Highlander reenactor (so barely a decade or so after this) and our style of dress is extremely similar to what the maid wears. I wear a linen sark (shirt) kirtle and a woolen overdress but because all of the materials are natural fibers, it's really not so bad. Everything is quite breathable and pleasant to wear, plus the natural fiber doesn't hold in heat as badly as man made materials. When you catch a breeze you can really feel it, it's like heaven. I love my Elizabethan style garb, possibly more so than my regular clothes. Though I won't throw out my leggings just yet!
The side by side of the maid and the lady in waiting really emphasizes how much work goes into dressing for a station. There's no way to dress yourself or do anything very physical in the lady in waiting's clothing while the maid's clothing is made to go on quickly and stay in place with physical labor.
0:49 True, I don’t want help putting clothes on, but in this time period and setting, if I’m not being dressed, I’m dressing someone else, and I (with my early-mid 21st century values) don’t want to do that either… 😓
Incredible quality as always!! The care taken to present information as accurately and beautifully as possible is evident in all your works. Your videos are inspiration and always lovely to see!
This era of Tudor wear is so elegant and beautiful! outstanding video, as always. It'd be cool to see a 'behind the scenes' style video, with comments from the actors, and maybe bloopers, because i bet there are some XD
Watching this video a while ago I started using the ribbon plats the servant put in at the beginning of the video for my "on the hospital floor" hairstyle. It's very secure with the ribbons alone and the only reason I use pins is just in case!
I love this one in particular because by following the chain of command so to speak we got to see how women dressed at three different levels of wealth and power. We so often only get the wealthiest perspective with historical fashion but there's so much more to it
This was really good. I always love watching y’all’s videos, especially those in this ‘ Getting Dressed’ series. It was also good to see the Tudor era- my favourite. It’s wonderful to see and understand how all those elaborate dress parts fit together. Thanks again! ❤️
One of the best Tudor dress tutorials of a noblewoman wearing a French Hood. This looks so authentic comparable to a Holbein painting. The pieces that make the entire ensemble are all made with skill and historic craftsmanship for authenticity. I get disappointed when reenactors make French Hood headbands that are made with flimsy cardboard base foundations with glued on pearls that aren't even placed even or straight.
Keeping the hair plated at night to keep it in place actually works! I know this for a fact because I plate my hair when I can't find my sleep cap. I've always wanted to wear some Tudor fashion myself, particularly the French hood like the ones worn by Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine Parr. It seems like so much fun to wear! I actually plan on dressing up as Queen Anne Boleyn for Halloween this year!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Another one!! This is like Christmas every time there’s a new “getting dressed” video!! These are such a tonic-they’re like a brain massage after a long hospital shift. 🥰
I don't know why watching all these historical clothing video makes me emotional these videos are so therapeutic it just takes me to this another world i just wish i was born in a different era i'm just an old soul ig
i just want to tell you how much i love and appreciate your videos. every one takes so much work, and that is so obvious watching them. thank you for making this art. i appreciate you, crowseyeproductions team!
the dress had so many parts, so complicated. But then again, they could combine and adjust different parts as needed, new for old. Those fabrics were quite expensive, so combining them was the solution so that it doesn't look like she's wearing the same thing all the time
Ich nehme das jetzt mal als wahr an und finde diese kleidung recht schön.wenn man bedenkt, dass die menschen in ihren häusern keine zentralheizung hatten und schwere arbeiten verrichten mussten , wie zweckmässig die kleifung sein musste...und doch mit den vorhandenen materialien wie leinen und wolle solch schöne kleidung herstellen konnten...
So happy to see this. I can’t quite place the Holbein image evoked at the end (6:56)- yet. But as always, your productions are beautifully made and inspire me to further enquiry.😊
I'm down in Oz & our very hot summer is just around the corner. I wonder if they over heated wearing all those layers, especially when in warmer weather
So excited to see a new video 😊 interesting how even their simplest daily outfit was more complicated than most of our most complicated, so many pins and hooks, it would take me hours to get dressed even as a servant 😂 glad you are back ❤
It is easier now, but once you're accustomed to the clothing, it wouldn't be more than a few minutes really. I've seen historical costumers time their dressing, and it wasn'tthat long. The first time would be slow, though, I'll give you that!
I feel I’d be more comfortable in these layers. I live in a cottage dating back to 1450 and was a Hall House originally. Grade 2 listed and whilst it now has modern central heating it can still has a lot of drafts. Modern layering just doesn’t cut it. Very interesting and informative.
Imagine if someone knows if you slept alone or not, dresses you, prepares your bath, sees to your bowel movements... for our mind it sounds awful in terms of privacy; but I wonder if it created a more natural approach to all those functions, as well as a closer-knit female world, where so many things were shared...
Fascinating. I feel knackered just watching the whole lengthy process. I like the logic of assembly dressing but what a palaver. If you damage a sleeve it's not going to ruin the whole outfit. Just grab another one 😂
First of all, the quality of everything you produce is amazing, I love it! Most of the time, I think the historical garments were far more practical, comfortable, and easy to wear than modern people give them credit for. This era, not so much. I'm sure they were comfortable, but having so many little pieces to put on seems silly to my modern sensibilities. Couldn't they have combined the sleeves and partlet, for example? Or the sleeves, partlet, and kirtle? That's what was coming to mind as I watched the process. And I know things were different in later centuries. One thing that came to mind regarding separate sleeves is that maybe it allowed more flexibility throughout the different seasons. And then I realized that people back then might think the same kind of things if they saw the way I dressed! For instance, I usually wear bike shorts under my skirts- in addition to my undies- and then a slip so my skirt won't stick to my shorts. People back in the "old days" would probably have a way to combine those functions!
You don't see the large amount of pins used to hold on pieces of clothing in all the steamy historical dramas. Am I the only one who'd want to see the hero trying to score with a love interest only to jab himself on a pin?
This was fantastic would love one about Restoration England! I'm unsure if they wore corsets, stays or either I'm writing a book during that time period & want to get it right 😊
So beautiful...the lady in waitings dress. It really helps me to appreciate the song Greensleeves even more...how beautiful some of these ladies were in their dresses.
This is stunning as I had no doubt it would be! You guys do such extraordinary work, taking such care in the details so it feels as if you are really in whatever time period you are depicting. Please keep it up! ❤️
2:16 That's exactly an outfit I use as part of my persona in the Society for Creative Anachronism, right down to the red sleeves, white partlet, and bonnet. Mine is brown instead of black because brown was an easier color to achieve using natural dyes (walnut husks and iron shavings) and my persona isn't wealthy (a yeoman archer's wife who raises sheep and sells their wool). I made my apron out of an old curtain made of very fine-woven linen and keep it folded when I'm not wearing so I can achieve the little folds in it shown in paintings with lower class free women (not serfs or peasants but not upper class). That and the tiny bit of blackwork embroidery on my collar are my persona's attempts to reach above her station in life as poorer women didn't have the niceties of embroidery on their clothing for the most part. I DO cheat underneath and wear a set of Victorian bloomers instead of hose, though. They're, um, well, split so it makes it easier to go to the bathroom without having to get my skirt caught in my underwear. LOL Most Tudor women didn't wear underwear as we know it today, though. My Tudor-era clothing (I have a LOT) is probably warmer in winter and cooler in summer than my modern wardrobe. When it gets REALLY cold, I break out my wool lined with heavy linen coat and I'm toasty. The coat weighs a ton but it sits on me so well that I don't even notice. I actually do have a court dress like the one shown above along with an English Gable hood for winter events. It's amazing how many layers you have to put on to achieve the proper look. Wearing the English hood with all its padding is kind of like wearing a helmet. I have to get up near people to be able to hear them. LOL They aren't hard to make once you get the buckram and wiring put in place. Then it's just a LOT of handsewing.
Thank you for this. I am a re-enactor and I just happen to be a woman of color. Thank you for making the invisible visible...people of color were there but we were made invisible in the books used to teach history. I loved this as you have given me more perfect ideas for my role as head stillroom mistress for the Earl of Pembroke at an Elizabethan fair I attend each year. Thank you. I appreciate alll your presentations. Thank you.

Watching this video a while ago I started using the ribbon plats the servant put in at the beginning of the video for my "on the hospital floor" hairstyle. It's very secure with the ribbons alone and the only reason I use pins is just in case!
Terrificly realistic! Congratulations! Catherine of Aragon was a great, much dignified queen. Greetings from Lima, Peru!
This is Catherine Parr, Catherine of Aragorn would’ve worn a Gable Hood instead of a French one
@@Skyebright1 Thank you for the correction! I was happy thinking she was my favorite English queen.
I would like to thank those who made this video, it helps alot for those writing 1500s based novels.💖💖
I love this one in particular because by following the chain of command so to speak we got to see how women dressed at three different levels of wealth and power. We so often only get the wealthiest perspective with historical fashion but there's so much more to it
This was really good. I always love watching y’all’s videos, especially those in this ‘ Getting Dressed’ series. It was also good to see the Tudor era- my favourite. It’s wonderful to see and understand how all those elaborate dress parts fit together. Thanks again! ❤️
This was interesting! I did not realize there was so much pinning going on. I will now look at paintings quite a bit different.
One of the best Tudor dress tutorials of a noblewoman wearing a French Hood. This looks so authentic comparable to a Holbein painting. The pieces that make the entire ensemble are all made with skill and historic craftsmanship for authenticity. I get disappointed when reenactors make French Hood headbands that are made with flimsy cardboard base foundations with glued on pearls that aren't even placed even or straight.
Keeping the hair plated at night to keep it in place actually works! I know this for a fact because I plate my hair when I can't find my sleep cap. I've always wanted to wear some Tudor fashion myself, particularly the French hood like the ones worn by Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine Parr. It seems like so much fun to wear! I actually plan on dressing up as Queen Anne Boleyn for Halloween this year!
This is my favorite getting dressed channel... Thank you! Your videos are so calming and relaxing to watch.
Beautiful content. Beautifully shot. Wonderfully narrated. Deep Gratitude. Blessings to Humanity
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Another one!! This is like Christmas every time there’s a new “getting dressed” video!!
These are such a tonic-they’re like a brain massage after a long hospital shift. 🥰
I don't know why watching all these historical clothing video makes me emotional these videos are so therapeutic it just takes me to this another world i just wish i was born in a different era i'm just an old soul ig
I had no idea that was how the sleeves worked! Great video as always!
i just want to tell you how much i love and appreciate your videos. every one takes so much work, and that is so obvious watching them. thank you for making this art. i appreciate you, crowseyeproductions team!
the dress had so many parts, so complicated. But then again, they could combine and adjust different parts as needed, new for old. Those fabrics were quite expensive, so combining them was the solution so that it doesn't look like she's wearing the same thing all the time
Now I want a part 2 to see the Queen get dressed!
Wonderful video, and that final shot of the women walking is stunning
So beautiful. It's amazing how detailed the clothing was.
Ich nehme das jetzt mal als wahr an und finde diese kleidung recht schön.wenn man bedenkt, dass die menschen in ihren häusern keine zentralheizung hatten und schwere arbeiten verrichten mussten , wie zweckmässig die kleifung sein musste...und doch mit den vorhandenen materialien wie leinen und wolle solch schöne kleidung herstellen konnten...
Stunning! The amount of pins! The number of layers! OMG! Clothes are so easy to wear these days, even for royals today, compared to Elizabethan Times.
So happy to see this. I can’t quite place the Holbein image evoked at the end (6:56)- yet. But as always, your productions are beautifully made and inspire me to further enquiry.😊
I'm down in Oz & our very hot summer is just around the corner. I wonder if they over heated wearing all those layers, especially when in warmer weather
I loooove the kirtles. I guess a slightly modernized kirtle will be my next autumn project; it looks reasonably easy to make and looks gorgeous
Aren’t they beautiful? That red kirtle was gorgeous and would make a fabulous modern overdress to wear with a shift. I hope you sew one!
I always think of Narnia, and The Lady of the Green Kirtle ;)
Tudor fashion was peak fashion! Wow, just gorgeous!
every single item looks amazing, there has clearly been a lot of love put into making these clothes. do you make it all yourself?
Amazing. So many pieces for a complete outfit. I’m exhausted at the thought of getting dressed like this every day.
So excited to see a new video 😊 interesting how even their simplest daily outfit was more complicated than most of our most complicated, so many pins and hooks, it would take me hours to get dressed even as a servant 😂 glad you are back ❤
All hail the inventors of buttons and zippers!
It is easier now, but once you're accustomed to the clothing, it wouldn't be more than a few minutes really. I've seen historical costumers time their dressing, and it wasn'tthat long. The first time would be slow, though, I'll give you that!
I love love love the queen's outfit. Specially the sleeves and how they matched the apron
Would love more Tudor videos!! This was wonderful
I feel I’d be more comfortable in these layers. I live in a cottage dating back to 1450 and was a Hall House originally. Grade 2 listed and whilst it now has modern central heating it can still has a lot of drafts. Modern layering just doesn’t cut it. Very interesting and informative.
Imagine if someone knows if you slept alone or not, dresses you, prepares your bath, sees to your bowel movements... for our mind it sounds awful in terms of privacy; but I wonder if it created a more natural approach to all those functions, as well as a closer-knit female world, where so many things were shared...
Fascinating. I feel knackered just watching the whole lengthy process. I like the logic of assembly dressing but what a palaver. If you damage a sleeve it's not going to ruin the whole outfit. Just grab another one 😂
First of all, the quality of everything you produce is amazing, I love it!
Most of the time, I think the historical garments were far more practical, comfortable, and easy to wear than modern people give them credit for. This era, not so much. I'm sure they were comfortable, but having so many little pieces to put on seems silly to my modern sensibilities. Couldn't they have combined the sleeves and partlet, for example? Or the sleeves, partlet, and kirtle? That's what was coming to mind as I watched the process. And I know things were different in later centuries. One thing that came to mind regarding separate sleeves is that maybe it allowed more flexibility throughout the different seasons. And then I realized that people back then might think the same kind of things if they saw the way I dressed! For instance, I usually wear bike shorts under my skirts- in addition to my undies- and then a slip so my skirt won't stick to my shorts. People back in the "old days" would probably have a way to combine those functions!
So glad to see a new video! This was fascinating - not just the clothing but also a glimpse into the hierarchy of the royal household.
Thank you so much for producing another video! We can tell how much care you put into these masterpieces! 💗
i miss these videos so much. so wonderfully and thoughtfully made
You don't see the large amount of pins used to hold on pieces of clothing in all the steamy historical dramas. Am I the only one who'd want to see the hero trying to score with a love interest only to jab himself on a pin?
This was fantastic would love one about Restoration England! I'm unsure if they wore corsets, stays or either I'm writing a book during that time period & want to get it right 😊
Wow, I had no idea that the ladies in waiting were provided uniforms. Thanks for the great vid, as always!
So beautiful...the lady in waitings dress.
It really helps me to appreciate the song Greensleeves even more...how beautiful some of these ladies were in their dresses.
I want to see a tudor royal dressing next!!
I love your videos, its like watching a painting moving, beautiful
This is stunning as I had no doubt it would be! You guys do such extraordinary work, taking such care in the details so it feels as if you are really in whatever time period you are depicting. Please keep it up! ❤️
This just makes me appreciate safety pins SO much more. Back then getting stuck with one of your many clothing pins was a real problem.
Absolutely gorgeous! She reminds me of Olivia Hussey as Juliet in this vid ❤️
Wow what a nice video with the dressing out of the household of the tudor royals. Great explained and presented👌
2:16 That's exactly an outfit I use as part of my persona in the Society for Creative Anachronism, right down to the red sleeves, white partlet, and bonnet. Mine is brown instead of black because brown was an easier color to achieve using natural dyes (walnut husks and iron shavings) and my persona isn't wealthy (a yeoman archer's wife who raises sheep and sells their wool). I made my apron out of an old curtain made of very fine-woven linen and keep it folded when I'm not wearing so I can achieve the little folds in it shown in paintings with lower class free women (not serfs or peasants but not upper class). That and the tiny bit of blackwork embroidery on my collar are my persona's attempts to reach above her station in life as poorer women didn't have the niceties of embroidery on their clothing for the most part. I DO cheat underneath and wear a set of Victorian bloomers instead of hose, though. They're, um, well, split so it makes it easier to go to the bathroom without having to get my skirt caught in my underwear. LOL Most Tudor women didn't wear underwear as we know it today, though.
My Tudor-era clothing (I have a LOT) is probably warmer in winter and cooler in summer than my modern wardrobe. When it gets REALLY cold, I break out my wool lined with heavy linen coat and I'm toasty. The coat weighs a ton but it sits on me so well that I don't even notice. I actually do have a court dress like the one shown above along with an English Gable hood for winter events. It's amazing how many layers you have to put on to achieve the proper look. Wearing the English hood with all its padding is kind of like wearing a helmet. I have to get up near people to be able to hear them. LOL They aren't hard to make once you get the buckram and wiring put in place. Then it's just a LOT of handsewing.
This video changes my perceptions,
Thank you very much.
🥰 Amazing ....❤️Loved it 🤗 I appreciate your efforts to collect rare details and presenting it beautifully 🙏 love from India 🙏
Love this channel's historical videos that they produce!
The look of your models combined with the Tudor theme gives this a bit of a Six the Musical vibe, which I love. 💜
💜👑💜👑💜🫂
I love your videos so much! I specially love seeing how the clothes differed from class to class.
I love these so much! Thank you for all your work ❤
I certainly get the whole fainting chaise thing! With all those layers, I would’ve been passing out anytime it was above 60°F outside
Thank you for this. I am a re-enactor and I just happen to be a woman of color. Thank you for making the invisible visible...people of color were there but we were made invisible in the books used to teach history. I loved this as you have given me more perfect ideas for my role as head stillroom mistress for the Earl of Pembroke at an Elizabethan fair I attend each year. Thank you. I appreciate alll your presentations. Thank you.
Again this was fantastic. I shared with my Elizabethan group.
Your voice is perfect for Audiobooks! You would make a terrific reader! Excellent production value here - top tier! Subbed :-)
I read the title as "Getting Depressed" and I thought that it was really fitting
