The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/vbirchwood11221 Thanks for watching! A few notes about this video: Grace also wears historical undergarments everyday (including corsets). Additionally, this video is probably about 9 months in the planning/making, hence why Adelaide's outfits were filmed in January and ours were filmed in October, in case there's some confusion with the timing. Lastly, please go and follow both Adelaide and Grace's Instagram and TH-cam channels (links are all in the description) as they both have lovely content and I highly recommend it. I'll be actually releasing a new video a week from now, so see you all next week for another video! 🥰
I love how different you all are! The first girl mixes periods a bit, the second sticks pretty strictly to one time period and is very accurate, and the third mixes fun modern patterns in with her socks and pockets. How fun to see everyone's personal likes and styles.
It's important for newbies to see store-bought clothes and anachronisms so they don't believe they need to hand sew an entire Edwardian wardrobe before they start wearing vintage. 10/10!
@AdelaideBeemanWhite I have a theory that could explain the phenomenon you mentioned. Ancestral memory is proven to be prevalent in humans and animals. We inherit the dna of up to our third great grandparents at least (depending how the genetic inheritance plinko goes). Personally, my whole life I've felt most myself when living as close to how my maternal line going back (maternally) to my great grandmother's mother did in New York after her family ended up there after the Irish Famine. She only lived to be 32. So 1868 to 1900. What bonkers about this is that I never knew anything about my family's history or even my ethnic heritage until a few years ago but always wanted to dress in clothes from this Era, was drawn to books and movies from this Era, as well as music and dance. Turns out (thanks to genetic testing) I learned that I actually inherited the most dna from this line than my others 😮 this is the only one like this in my whole tree!
I can see why Adelaide picked that time period! I enjoy androgeny, so I got excited when she said that this was when women started dressing more masculine, as in cool stuff like starched collars!!! And the delight I feel thinking about wearing such cool sleeves every day!!! And, of course, the style suits her and I can see how confident she feels, even when she isn't pretending to be a model.
Thank you so much for including me in this collab, I love how the video turned out!! Also most of the things I mentioned purchasing are from Historical Emporium. I’ve had some of them for years, would recommend
Agree, wearing historical fashion doesn't feel costume-y, it's the look of the people around me, how they act, how they take pictures without asking, that makes me feel like a street performer
I’m glad I only found out there was a taboo around outfit repetition after I was old enough to not care. I’m autistic so i just didn’t realise there was an unspoken social rule around rewearing clothes. I can’t even imagine how much clothes someone would need to never repeat a look!
I’m autistic too! I get so tired of all the unspoken rules, it’s much more fun when you decide to let them go. I don’t rly see much of a purpose in them so they really don’t serve me lol
I only knew this was a rule because of watching televised red carpet events as a kid, but I always just assumed it was for celebrities! 😂 I really can’t imagine wearing a new outfit everyday. That sounds exhausting and expensive. Plus it’s nice to get as much use out of a garment as possible I think!
I don't think it's valid in most cases, I've never seen or heard anyone shaming anyone for repeating an outfit, it sounds like a stereotype from sitcoms
Even for special occasions, repeating outfits isn’t really a taboo where I’m from (Norway), since everyone understands that obviously you’re not going to wear your bunad just once.
Fun story time from one Marry Poppins to another. So I crochet and have since middle school. I had a purse from Walmart that I used as a pencil pouch/yarn holder. I could fit 3 whole skeins of yarn into that thing and often did. One time during math I had finished the test early and had taken out my yarn to start a project. Once most of the class was done one of the other kids noticed me and asked where the heck I had been hiding that yarn. I showed them the rest of the yarn in my bag and they deemed me Marry Poppins.
Adelaide lives somewhere near me and it is so exciting to see her out walking in the neighborhood. Sadly I am usually in the car. But I wave and hope some day to meet her. Love this video and seeing all the clothing combos. I especially like all the capes and the Ulster coat/cape. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“I think everyone should wear what makes them happy.” yeeeessss I totally agree with this sentiment. I loved watching this video - this colab looked so fun to make 😊
I loved seeing someone who mixes elements that are wildly out of the time period with their outfits, as I do this a lot. I have been working towards wearing historic clothes every day, mostly from the 1750s to 1780s, but I am not picky about specific years or decades, I have lots of modern, mostly thrifted things that just felt like they were close enough or the right vibe, and I have a renaissance style cap that I often finish this anachronistic jumble off with. It sounds like a mess, but I've felt like it has come together pretty well, made something all my own, so it's really nice to see that I am not the only one that does this sort of thing! It's done so well here too, all of these outfits look great! Definitely a boost to the confidence
Oh you’re definitely not alone at all! I think that’s the beauty of historical clothes is you can get so creative with it sometimes. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Yay for antique fur validation!! I have inherited a couple of furs from my ancestors that I love to wear in the colder months. I feel like I am not only staying warm and comfortable in a practical way, but also celebrating the animals who gave their lives to provide warmth and comfort to my 4th generation self. I do NOT purchase fur of any kind just to be plain about this controversial topic. Thank you for mentioning the comfort of American Duchess shoes. I have often wondered how their shoes would compare to my favorite brand Fluevog. Thanks all 3 of you for modeling your outfits!
I do want to bring more historical clothing into my personal style, though the farthest I would probably go back is something along the 1910s or 1920s, the closest I usually get to that is the 1940s or 1950s.
I love wearing historical clothing for daily wear. Sadly I don't feel like I own/have made enough clothes to do it everyday yet, but I'm certainly getting there. Love mixing & matching. I think I need a few more shirtwaists and additional accessories and I'll be good to go. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so lovely you do too! I can definitely understand feeling like you need some more accessories, shirtwaists. I’ve also found creating matching skirt/blouse or shirtwaist sets and then mixing them up really helps, especially if there’s a colour palette you really lean towards.
I love that all of you did the obligatory move-or-twirl-to-show-off-the-skirt with each look. I also do it. It just happens whenever you put on a skirt or dress ;)
Haha Grace's energy is everything in this video 😁 love it! I feel the same way about dressing history-inspired (not as historical as you guys) every day 😊
You ladies are so inspiring ! I've always dreamt of wearing historical fashion, it's not possible at the moment but maybe one day I'll be able to. I love how Grace included fun little details like patterned pockets and socks, it's original and cute.
I am 66 yrs old and love dressing in working class historical clothing. I love my 18th century clothing as well as covering 1900- 1924 clothing. I knew my granddad well and he was born in 1880 and lived until 1969. I sewed long skirts and dressed little house style because I was a hippie! I feel I dress my spirit most of my adult life and why change now! You are all smart young women. Carry on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Ladies - you ROCK! And Grace, you come across as a really fun person to be around. I wish all three of you success in your endeavours. I am trying to incorporate more natural clothing into my wardrobe. I have noticed how wool is actually quite cool in the summer! But with two dogs to hike across the countryside every day, I tend to go for trousers - if only for the multitude of pockets I need as a bag does not work for me. Thank you.
You all look so wonderful. I love that you wear this daily. And truly, anything we wear are costumes. Don't mind the ridicule; anytime you don't do the "norm" people say mean things. I wore contemporary fashions in high school and was called grandma. Those hippie costume-wearers just didn't get it. Keep bringing your wonderful sensibility to the world. It's art, craft, beauty and history. Hear Hear!!!
That clasped hand belt buckle!! OMG! Im in looove 😍 Couldnt stop staring at all the little details and accessories, they really elevate the outfits so much 🥰🥰 You all look wonderfull! ♡♡
Thank you for the subscription information in the description! I was not aware of Mistress Pennywhistle but am now subscribed to her as well with notifications.
This was a fun episode. I like what you did with the Icelandic sweater. I wish I would have known of you here in Iceland while you lived here. I feel very alone in the way I dress here and get the strange looks you talk about, and very often get compliments to. All of you have fun and beautiful styles. I also agree about it feeling natural to me to dress the way I do.
So glad you enjoyed it Anna! Takk 😊 I’m so sorry you feel very alone in the way you dress. I felt similarly when I was in Iceland, as there just aren’t a lot of people into historical fashion I’m guessing, or perhaps none of us would speak with eachother and so we just wouldn’t know about one another.
It is a beautiful style. I noticed that the Victorian look is also reflected in the decoration found within the rooms that are displayed within the video. I have a younger sister that commonly reflects these fashions in the styles she sews.
Fantastic collaboration! Love seeing all the personal style shining through. I think you need to do another one of these during the summer months so that we get an idea of (if at all) how the styles differ through seasonal changes.
I dress Edwardian style daily, but I also add the accurate touch of anything Japanese being very trendy during the late 19th century, by collecting and wearing haori pretty much everyday. It feels much more comfortable than modern clothes, both thanks to the cut of the outfits and the fabrics used. It also makes me feel really good about myself. I just love the elegant efficiency of 1900-1905 clothes, and the Gibson style buns are both cute and practical as well. It attracts a lot of positive attention in general!
*I JUST TODAY FINISHED* a 1920's double breasted suit with patch pockets and lobe lapels from a fashion plate - its dark but I am wearing it any way :-D
It's so wonderful that you're including your friends! i've found so many costubers through others. Noelle was so good at this, too, with her 20 questions videos. It's fun to see people who are not afraid of this. We LOVE your channel!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love the different styles and seeing their personalities come through. Thanks for sharing ladies! I like how Grace added some modern pops like the fun pockets and socks, plus that lollipop pin was sweet.
Vasi, when I see your wrapper dress I always think that it looks so incredibly cosy and comfy. I think I need to make myself one. I really like the style of all three of you. And you are showing that you don't have to be cold while wearing beautiful things.
Reacting to the "lawer costume": it's so interesting because I do tend to seperate my outfits by what they're used for. I do tutoring, so whenever I go to teach a class I say I'm wearing my teacher costume because I will want people to percieve me in a certain way. While, if let's say it's summer and I'm just enjoying life I might as well wear a bralette, and that is NOT a teacher costume =D I can't say I like one more than another, I really enjoy having different looks, so that I don't force myself to commit to one single fashion/style ^^
This was so fun to watch. I wear a mix of historical and modern clothing. Almost all that I made myself. And all 100% black! Lol it’s what I like. I to have vintage fur that I wear. I call it ‘recycled’. Also some antique pieces made by family members, that I dyed black. :) My least favourite thing people have said regarding my clothing. Was when someone called my usual Victoria skirt and tank top combo as ‘a prairie dress’. That gave me bad LDS vibes.
Thank you so much Pati! I’m not sure if you know this, but I’m obsessed with fungi. I know probably similar amounts about fungi as I do about historical fashion, so this is the best compliment! 🥰
i remember preppies wearing button-down shirts back in the day: back then, "button-down" referred to being able to button the collar points down to the body of the shirt (the cool kids popped their collars...back like drac...no button-downs for them). we used to call a shirt that buttons down the front a "button-front" shirt (i.e., all button-down shirts are button-front, but not all button-front shirts are button-down). a button-down person was considered more straight-laced than a pink-and-green-wearing collar-popper.
I always love seeing these kinds of videos, it gives me so much inspiration. I try to wear historical clothes whenever I go out, but my body has not yet adapted to the layering so I can only do it around half the year when it's cool out. Which means I start around the same time as the run-up to Halloween so everybody initially thinks it's a costume thing.
So glad you enjoyed the video Katherine! Wearing historical clothing is always so challenging I find around Halloween time. So many people ask about your “costume”. So many people ask to take photos lol
I'm swooning over these gorgeous clothes, especially yours - they remind me of something from Little Women! It must feel so amazing to dress like this every day. I try to incorporate elements of historical dress into my outfits, such as a brooch or a historical hairstyle, but because I'm only 15 I don't have the money or skills yet to wear fully historical!
Historical fashion has never fazed me as being weird or costumey. I think mostly because my moms family is Japanese from Paris and my obāchan (grandma) still wears kimonos and I wore them a lot as a kid when I'd visit her. When I lived in Japan kimonos are still worn a lot and not seen as historical dress up. I really like 1890s fashion and the tea dress looked so comfy. I'd argue something like Egirl or goth fashion and Keis (Japanese fashion) wear just as must items and accessories. Just Wear what you want, life is too short to do otherwise.
Loved it ! Vi your 1860 wrapper looks so cozy ! Its blackwatch tartan isn't it? 💗 Grace I love how you rock the socks lol 🤙 Adelaide looks like Anne with an E aunt Murella! ❤ Your outfits are wonderful ladies tfs
You all look wonderful! I'm actually wearing historical fashion too and I am glad to say that two of you, Vasi and Adelaide, gave me the courage to start doing it.
I really appreciate all the hidden Easter eggs in Grace's clothes like dinosaurs, unicorns, crocodiles, and famous artworks 😆 In a weird way, listening to people talk about their historical fashion has made me appreciate my love of repeating a similar outfit in the summer months (my favourite wide jeans with one of my small or skimpy tops depending on mood). Repeating clothes isn't bad. It means you love and utilize them. My summer style is very modern, but I am getting into historical clothes for a few reasons including wanting to connect even more to my family's cultural heritage. I may become like an arctic fox with two seasonal coat variations: my wear-as-little-fabric-as-possible top with jeans in summer, and colourful Açores-Åland granny in winter 😂 I am really enjoying headscarves. I really like the idea of mixing modern and historical clothes too
Your videos always have such a nice and calming air about them, love it, super enjoyable to watch. Also really cool that you do so many collabs with other people. It's really interesting!
Such a lovely video, as always! I love seeing the differences and uniquenesses of all of your styles and it’s so fun to see. Makes me want to go into my closet and try on all my clothes and style outfits 😂💕
Thank you all for being true to yourselves and for sharing it with us. It is deeply nourishing for me. Beautiful clothes. I Love the socks and pocket fabric choices, Grace; being true to all the fun layers of your dear self
Omgosh I am totally digging Grace's socks. I love how fun they are. They remind me of a pair of flamengo socks someone bought my daughter when she was 7. I love everyone's styles. So unique and so much fun. I noticed recently that my own modern wardrobe is starting to wear out and look thread bare. To be honest I have seen hobos dressed better than me. Not that I'm bashing anyone. It's just I wear my clothes until they are almost nothing. Growing up poor, it was always second hand clothing. New clothes from the store were a rarity. Now that I am content with who I am and where I am in life I have been trying to incorporate more historical clothing into my life. My most recent addition is a 10 gored princess skirt from TV that I made from some really pretty batik from my stash. I got it orginally to make the walking skirt with but never got around to it. The boning in the princess skirt helps give me the back support I need until I can get a corset made or make one myself. Slowly over this winter I will be adding more and more historical clothing into my wardrobe as my modern wardrobe wears out. It was good to see a cameo appearance from sweet Rúna again. Hopefully we will see her again in the future. Anyways another fun vide5. See you next week ❤
Thanks so much DesertRose! I love hearing about your 10 gored princess skirt! Rúna will definitely make more cameo appearances in future videos 🥰 she is getting so big now!
i love everyone's outfits here!! i'm so glad i randomly got recommended your channel, everything you post is so cool! i had no idea i'd find this stuff so cool and interesting :D love grace's pockets and socks, and adelaide acting like a model 💅queens! although beauty or attractiveness is sometimes associated with varying levels of skin being shown, i think you all look very beautiful in that clothing. thank you for all the great content :D would love to see more of this stuff
I studied calligraphy and I was taught to move from the shoulder rather than the wrist for more precise movement. I didn't keep up on it but thought that tip really helped my lettering. You are doing amazingly well. Your swirls are pretty.
I can relate to all these pieces so much, so thanks for showing how they all fit together. This really makes me want to get a plan together and work on my own daily wardrobe. I have been *trying* to daily wear and do most of my farmwork, in at least a T shirt and long full skirt, and head cover, since 2020. Before that I just wore them a lot. I want to get a little more dressed up when the weather is cooler. I am trying to sew enough corsetry to get the silhouette right more often too. I can't decide 100 percent on a time period though, so this is super fun! I am super into warm riding skirts.
You all look amazing! Each with your own style and I adore Grace's mix of fun socks and patterns as well. I'm still (sometimes patiently and sometimes impatiently ) putting together enough items to wear 1920s through early 1970s daily
Watching this as I’m starting a corset project. I can’t wear a modern bra anymore after wearing my corset I made for the ren fair. I’m using the same pattern I used for that, which is not historical at all, but i want something I can wear under modern clothes. I want to make a set of stays, definitely next on my list. I enjoyed the outfits! I’m more into history bounding, but I do really nice the wool plaid dress, I just don’t know if I’d actually wear it out since people look at you funny. I love visiting historical sites so I can wear my walking skirt I made and not feel strange. I know I should just wear what I like, but if I mix more modern clothes with the styles I like (mainly long skirts) I don’t feel strange.
The three of you all have very unique styles, I love seeing people wearing unusual clothes that they love :) Also, so cool to know you'll be uploading more often from now !
Thanks so much Mélisse! It was really fun to put all the footage together and notice the similarities and differences 🥰 I’m not sure if I’ll be posting more than twice a month come January, but I at least will have slightly more frequent content coming out in November and December 😊
@@VBirchwood For sure, it is really interesting to watch^^ And don't worry about the frequency schedule, whathever you'll be able to do will always be enough 😊
Thank you 🥰🥰 I can promise that the upcoming topics will be fun though. I’ve been trying to put more quality into content over quantity lately and it’s been bringing a lot of joy back into the process for me
Fashion cycles. Adelaide, I'd like to say that you should be able to adapt your historical look into something that will work in a law practice. I find it fun to see how this type of sewing has evolved. I got my degree in Clothing & textiles in 1970. Loved history of fashion classes.
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite Maybe it's possible to start with certain specific occasions (like what? No idea!) I'm reminded of Sewstine's Victorian lady doctor's suit which her hospital permitted her to wear to some events.
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite And I meant to mention that the fit of your garments is impeccable! That & your beautiful accessories are some of the best I've seen.
One of these days I'll get the time to actually sew what I want for my wardrobe. I'm aiming to go for ~1780s for my daily wear. Right now my darling 3 year old keeps me plenty busy though.
Calligraphy is fun! I use a unical type hand to write with. Comes from being 12C. Hehehe Given I’m allergic to wool, I’ve picked up four 3 yard lengths of polar fleece to make my winter wardrobe with. I’ve already got a gray gown of fleece which is wonderful in winter (floor length and long sleeves). I plan to add side seam pockets to these and mayhap a hood or two!
After all there is all that fabric twixt and between the skirt and arms. I cut these out by just quartering the fabric, laying a dress which fits on top as a pattern, and then cutting the seam allowance. I then remove the dress and decide what kind of neckline I want and cut it out. I cut out the pockets from the scraps and set aside the scraps. Pull out the thread and needles and sew.

The little anachronisms like the fun socks and the unicorn pockets in Grace’s style are just perfection. 👌🏻

The amish segment was really funny, making shure you’re not starting beef with them 😂
I relate to the Amish thing too! I have a friend who says I look Amish but I don’t wear anything Amish like. Lol
Grace's mixing of fun prints with the historical fashions is so cute! And really drives in the Wear What Makes You Happy
Thank you so much!! And yesss I certainly believe that
Yes I was smiling at that too, Grace is also very funny and sweet haha
Agree, wearing historical fashion doesn't feel costume-y, it's the look of the people around me, how they act, how they take pictures without asking, that makes me feel like a street performer

The dinosaur socks are my favourite!!!!! And the crocodile pockets 😭❤️ you all look so stylish !

My grandfather was born in 1898. I love that period as well.
I love everything about this collaboration. Very enjoyable to watch such a range of style. Thanks ladies for your effort
You ladies are beautiful, unique and exude confidence! ❤
I love that all of you did the obligatory move-or-twirl-to-show-off-the-skirt with each look. I also do it. It just happens whenever you put on a skirt or dress ;)
We didn’t even plan it or coordinate it! 🤣🥰
Today in my ankle length forest green wool skirt I twirled around in the kitchen until I got dizzy 😄 we all do it!! ❤

I am 66 yrs old and love dressing in working class historical clothing. I love my 18th century clothing as well as covering 1900- 1924 clothing. I knew my granddad well and he was born in 1880 and lived until 1969. I sewed long skirts and dressed little house style because I was a hippie! I feel I dress my spirit most of my adult life and why change now! You are all smart young women. Carry on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I love the little details in Grace's pockets and socks 😊
Ladies - you ROCK! And Grace, you come across as a really fun person to be around. I wish all three of you success in your endeavours. I am trying to incorporate more natural clothing into my wardrobe. I have noticed how wool is actually quite cool in the summer! But with two dogs to hike across the countryside every day, I tend to go for trousers - if only for the multitude of pockets I need as a bag does not work for me. Thank you.
Aww thank you, that’s so kind of you to say! Also yes pockets are wonderful, and hiking with dogs sounds like a lot of fun too.
You all look so wonderful. I love that you wear this daily. And truly, anything we wear are costumes. Don't mind the ridicule; anytime you don't do the "norm" people say mean things. I wore contemporary fashions in high school and was called grandma. Those hippie costume-wearers just didn't get it.
Keep bringing your wonderful sensibility to the world. It's art, craft, beauty and history. Hear Hear!!!
That clasped hand belt buckle!! OMG! Im in looove 😍
Couldnt stop staring at all the little details and accessories, they really elevate the outfits so much 🥰🥰
You all look wonderfull! ♡♡
Thank you for the subscription information in the description! I was not aware of Mistress Pennywhistle but am now subscribed to her as well with notifications.
Thank you, that’s very kind!
This was a fun episode. I like what you did with the Icelandic sweater. I wish I would have known of you here in Iceland while you lived here. I feel very alone in the way I dress here and get the strange looks you talk about, and very often get compliments to. All of you have fun and beautiful styles. I also agree about it feeling natural to me to dress the way I do.
So glad you enjoyed it Anna! Takk 😊 I’m so sorry you feel very alone in the way you dress. I felt similarly when I was in Iceland, as there just aren’t a lot of people into historical fashion I’m guessing, or perhaps none of us would speak with eachother and so we just wouldn’t know about one another.
I love the girl with the glasses, it's so funny that she's quite historical accurate except of her socks and her chicken purse 🙌🏻
Gotta have the churse! (I’m girl with the glasses btw
This was wonderful!! I’d love to see future collaborations for each season!
I really enjoyed this video and seeing everyone's different styles!
So glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰
It is a beautiful style. I noticed that the Victorian look is also reflected in the decoration found within the rooms that are displayed within the video. I have a younger sister that commonly reflects these fashions in the styles she sews.
Fantastic collaboration! Love seeing all the personal style shining through. I think you need to do another one of these during the summer months so that we get an idea of (if at all) how the styles differ through seasonal changes.
Thank you so much! We’ll definitely consider it, or at least a similar format for warmer weather 😊
I dress Edwardian style daily, but I also add the accurate touch of anything Japanese being very trendy during the late 19th century, by collecting and wearing haori pretty much everyday. It feels much more comfortable than modern clothes, both thanks to the cut of the outfits and the fabrics used. It also makes me feel really good about myself. I just love the elegant efficiency of 1900-1905 clothes, and the Gibson style buns are both cute and practical as well. It attracts a lot of positive attention in general!
*I JUST TODAY FINISHED* a 1920's double breasted suit with patch pockets and lobe lapels from a fashion plate - its dark but I am wearing it any way :-D
We need more of these videos! I’m thirty and I still love playing dress up ☺️
It's so wonderful that you're including your friends! i've found so many costubers through others. Noelle was so good at this, too, with her 20 questions videos. It's fun to see people who are not afraid of this. We LOVE your channel!!!!
Thank you! 🥰
"We each share the same passion for past fashions"
BRING THE BEAT IN
I was hoping someone caught this 🤣 my background is in poetry/songwriting so I always try to sneak “lyrics” into scripts whenever I can lol
@@VBirchwood hahaha that makes so much sense!
What song is this?
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite it’s just one I made up! Lol 🤣
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love the different styles and seeing their personalities come through. Thanks for sharing ladies!
I like how Grace added some modern pops like the fun pockets and socks, plus that lollipop pin was sweet.
Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Those black net oversleeve-things on Adelaide’s turquoise bodice are beautiful!!!!
Thank you!
Vasi, when I see your wrapper dress I always think that it looks so incredibly cosy and comfy. I think I need to make myself one. I really like the style of all three of you. And you are showing that you don't have to be cold while wearing beautiful things.
Thanks so much Natalia! 😊
Reacting to the "lawer costume": it's so interesting because I do tend to seperate my outfits by what they're used for. I do tutoring, so whenever I go to teach a class I say I'm wearing my teacher costume because I will want people to percieve me in a certain way. While, if let's say it's summer and I'm just enjoying life I might as well wear a bralette, and that is NOT a teacher costume =D
I can't say I like one more than another, I really enjoy having different looks, so that I don't force myself to commit to one single fashion/style ^^
Clothing in general is all saying something. Even a tshirt and jeans have a meaning. 😉
This was so fun to watch.
I wear a mix of historical and modern clothing. Almost all that I made myself. And all 100% black! Lol it’s what I like.
I to have vintage fur that I wear. I call it ‘recycled’.
Also some antique pieces made by family members, that I dyed black. :)
My least favourite thing people have said regarding my clothing. Was when someone called my usual Victoria skirt and tank top combo as ‘a prairie dress’. That gave me bad LDS vibes.
Grace gives MAXIMUM gen z vibes
Wow! I am loving these kind of videos! Great way to show everyones uniqueness!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much Pati! I’m not sure if you know this, but I’m obsessed with fungi. I know probably similar amounts about fungi as I do about historical fashion, so this is the best compliment! 🥰
i remember preppies wearing button-down shirts back in the day: back then, "button-down" referred to being able to button the collar points down to the body of the shirt (the cool kids popped their collars...back like drac...no button-downs for them). we used to call a shirt that buttons down the front a "button-front" shirt (i.e., all button-down shirts are button-front, but not all button-front shirts are button-down). a button-down person was considered more straight-laced than a pink-and-green-wearing collar-popper.
I always love seeing these kinds of videos, it gives me so much inspiration. I try to wear historical clothes whenever I go out, but my body has not yet adapted to the layering so I can only do it around half the year when it's cool out. Which means I start around the same time as the run-up to Halloween so everybody initially thinks it's a costume thing.
So glad you enjoyed the video Katherine! Wearing historical clothing is always so challenging I find around Halloween time. So many people ask about your “costume”. So many people ask to take photos lol
Dude, that chicken purse is sick!!
Ladies, you all look AMAZING 😍 Thank you for sharing your gorgeous outfits 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much! 😊
I'm swooning over these gorgeous clothes, especially yours - they remind me of something from Little Women! It must feel so amazing to dress like this every day. I try to incorporate elements of historical dress into my outfits, such as a brooch or a historical hairstyle, but because I'm only 15 I don't have the money or skills yet to wear fully historical!
Two of my favorite costume ladies! And someone new to follow! What a delight!
So glad you liked it! 😊
16:22 That tool belt is awesome!
Great video!
Historical fashion has never fazed me as being weird or costumey. I think mostly because my moms family is Japanese from Paris and my obāchan (grandma) still wears kimonos and I wore them a lot as a kid when I'd visit her.
When I lived in Japan kimonos are still worn a lot and not seen as historical dress up.
I really like 1890s fashion and the tea dress looked so comfy.
I'd argue something like Egirl or goth fashion and Keis (Japanese fashion) wear just as must items and accessories. Just Wear what you want, life is too short to do otherwise.
Very true! Plus wearing whatever you want can be healing and nurturing, because healthy self expression has so many benefits for mental well-being.
Loved it ! Vi your 1860 wrapper looks so cozy ! Its blackwatch tartan isn't it? 💗 Grace I love how you rock the socks lol 🤙 Adelaide looks like Anne with an E aunt Murella! ❤ Your outfits are wonderful ladies tfs
Thanks so much! This is a Farquharson tartan I believe 😊
You all look wonderful! I'm actually wearing historical fashion too and I am glad to say that two of you, Vasi and Adelaide, gave me the courage to start doing it.
That’s so lovely to hear Nieves! I’ve loved seeing your everyday historical fashion looks 🥰
I’m so glad!
I am obsessed with Adelaide's tea dress but all of you were beautiful and inspiring! Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video immensely. Keep safe and well. ❤Lynne
I especially ADORE your anniversary outfit! I enjoyed Grace and Adelaide's outfits but yours especially resonate with me.
I really appreciate all the hidden Easter eggs in Grace's clothes like dinosaurs, unicorns, crocodiles, and famous artworks 😆
In a weird way, listening to people talk about their historical fashion has made me appreciate my love of repeating a similar outfit in the summer months (my favourite wide jeans with one of my small or skimpy tops depending on mood). Repeating clothes isn't bad. It means you love and utilize them. My summer style is very modern, but I am getting into historical clothes for a few reasons including wanting to connect even more to my family's cultural heritage. I may become like an arctic fox with two seasonal coat variations: my wear-as-little-fabric-as-possible top with jeans in summer, and colourful Açores-Åland granny in winter 😂 I am really enjoying headscarves. I really like the idea of mixing modern and historical clothes too
Some beautiful outfits here ladies. Lovely to see them. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😊
I love the vintage furs! 💕
I loved this video! All three of you are just lovely.
xoxo's Sandie😊
Thank you Sandie! 😊
Your videos always have such a nice and calming air about them, love it, super enjoyable to watch.
Also really cool that you do so many collabs with other people. It's really interesting!
Thank you so much Sarah! I really appreciate it 😊 I must admit, in November and December there are going to be a lot of collabs!
Wonderful show of historical attire.
Such a lovely video, as always! I love seeing the differences and uniquenesses of all of your styles and it’s so fun to see. Makes me want to go into my closet and try on all my clothes and style outfits 😂💕
Thanks so much Sarah! That actually sounds like such a fun way to spend an evening! 🥰
Thank you all for being true to yourselves and for sharing it with us. It is deeply nourishing for me. Beautiful clothes. I Love the socks and pocket fabric choices, Grace; being true to all the fun layers of your dear self
Thank you!!
@@mspennywhistle 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I loved this video! 10/10 for Grace's fun socks and pockets
So glad you liked it! Yesss!! Her fun little hidden treasures are great!
Omgosh I am totally digging Grace's socks. I love how fun they are. They remind me of a pair of flamengo socks someone bought my daughter when she was 7. I love everyone's styles. So unique and so much fun. I noticed recently that my own modern wardrobe is starting to wear out and look thread bare. To be honest I have seen hobos dressed better than me. Not that I'm bashing anyone. It's just I wear my clothes until they are almost nothing. Growing up poor, it was always second hand clothing. New clothes from the store were a rarity. Now that I am content with who I am and where I am in life I have been trying to incorporate more historical clothing into my life. My most recent addition is a 10 gored princess skirt from TV that I made from some really pretty batik from my stash. I got it orginally to make the walking skirt with but never got around to it. The boning in the princess skirt helps give me the back support I need until I can get a corset made or make one myself. Slowly over this winter I will be adding more and more historical clothing into my wardrobe as my modern wardrobe wears out. It was good to see a cameo appearance from sweet Rúna again. Hopefully we will see her again in the future. Anyways another fun vide5. See you next week ❤
Thanks so much DesertRose! I love hearing about your 10 gored princess skirt! Rúna will definitely make more cameo appearances in future videos 🥰 she is getting so big now!
Very nice! Thanks to you all for sharing ❤. I need a teagown!!!😅
Thanks so much for watching! Tea gowns are so beautiful, now I'm really wanting one too! 🥰
i love everyone's outfits here!! i'm so glad i randomly got recommended your channel, everything you post is so cool! i had no idea i'd find this stuff so cool and interesting :D
love grace's pockets and socks, and adelaide acting like a model 💅queens!
although beauty or attractiveness is sometimes associated with varying levels of skin being shown, i think you all look very beautiful in that clothing.
thank you for all the great content :D would love to see more of this stuff
I studied calligraphy and I was taught to move from the shoulder rather than the wrist for more precise movement. I didn't keep up on it but thought that tip really helped my lettering. You are doing amazingly well. Your swirls are pretty.
Thank you so much! And I really appreciate the shoulder tip too 😊
I can relate to all these pieces so much, so thanks for showing how they all fit together. This really makes me want to get a plan together and work on my own daily wardrobe. I have been *trying* to daily wear and do most of my farmwork, in at least a T shirt and long full skirt, and head cover, since 2020. Before that I just wore them a lot. I want to get a little more dressed up when the weather is cooler. I am trying to sew enough corsetry to get the silhouette right more often too. I can't decide 100 percent on a time period though, so this is super fun! I am super into warm riding skirts.
All of your plans sound super fun! 😊 There’s something really special about making a daily wear wardrobe.
You all look amazing! Each with your own style and I adore Grace's mix of fun socks and patterns as well. I'm still (sometimes patiently and sometimes impatiently ) putting together enough items to wear 1920s through early 1970s daily
I enjoyed this video so much 😄 you all have such great style but must admit I enjoyed the "silly" socks most of all 😂
Haha thank you :))
What a lovely video and such a great idea! Thanks for sharing. 👒
This was an excellent video. The historical individuality of the three you was fabulous. You all looked amazing.
Thank you so much! 😊
Watching this as I’m starting a corset project. I can’t wear a modern bra anymore after wearing my corset I made for the ren fair. I’m using the same pattern I used for that, which is not historical at all, but i want something I can wear under modern clothes. I want to make a set of stays, definitely next on my list. I enjoyed the outfits! I’m more into history bounding, but I do really nice the wool plaid dress, I just don’t know if I’d actually wear it out since people look at you funny. I love visiting historical sites so I can wear my walking skirt I made and not feel strange. I know I should just wear what I like, but if I mix more modern clothes with the styles I like (mainly long skirts) I don’t feel strange.
Great fun ladies!
Such a fun video! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
So glad you enjoyed the video Joëlle! 🥰
Each one of you dresses so beautifully! I'm in love with each style
Thank you!!
I sort of have started doing this, but with Ancient Egypt
I got asked if I was amish wearing 1890s outfit.. i explained kindly but interesting that is associated
I F-ing Love Adelaide's day 3 belt with the hands!
Thanks!!!
This was wonderful to see. I really like seeing everyone’s outfits.
You all looked fabulous!
Thank you all so much for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
The three of you all have very unique styles, I love seeing people wearing unusual clothes that they love :) Also, so cool to know you'll be uploading more often from now !
Thanks so much Mélisse! It was really fun to put all the footage together and notice the similarities and differences 🥰 I’m not sure if I’ll be posting more than twice a month come January, but I at least will have slightly more frequent content coming out in November and December 😊
@@VBirchwood For sure, it is really interesting to watch^^ And don't worry about the frequency schedule, whathever you'll be able to do will always be enough 😊
Thank you 🥰🥰 I can promise that the upcoming topics will be fun though. I’ve been trying to put more quality into content over quantity lately and it’s been bringing a lot of joy back into the process for me
@@VBirchwood I wholeheartedly approve, quality over quantity is always the way to go, and you enjoying the process is the most important thing 🖤
Fashion cycles. Adelaide, I'd like to say that you should be able to adapt your historical look into something that will work in a law practice. I find it fun to see how this type of sewing has evolved. I got my degree in Clothing & textiles in 1970. Loved history of fashion classes.
Yes, I’m sure there is. I’ve been working on it, but it’s taking a while.
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite Maybe it's possible to start with certain specific occasions (like what? No idea!) I'm reminded of Sewstine's Victorian lady doctor's suit which her hospital permitted her to wear to some events.
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite And I meant to mention that the fit of your garments is impeccable! That & your beautiful accessories are some of the best I've seen.
@@fikanera838 - Thank you so much!
One of these days I'll get the time to actually sew what I want for my wardrobe. I'm aiming to go for ~1780s for my daily wear. Right now my darling 3 year old keeps me plenty busy though.
Sounds like a lovely plan Amaya 😊
This is fantastic. Great collaboration!
Thank you! 😊
The grape outfit is magnificent.
Yeeeees. So cool to see you collaborating with Adelaide!
Glad you enjoy the video! 😊
I love your style and your gloves
Calligraphy is fun! I use a unical type hand to write with. Comes from being 12C. Hehehe Given I’m allergic to wool, I’ve picked up four 3 yard lengths of polar fleece to make my winter wardrobe with. I’ve already got a gray gown of fleece which is wonderful in winter (floor length and long sleeves). I plan to add side seam pockets to these and mayhap a hood or two!
After all there is all that fabric twixt and between the skirt and arms. I cut these out by just quartering the fabric, laying a dress which fits on top as a pattern, and then cutting the seam allowance. I then remove the dress and decide what kind of neckline I want and cut it out. I cut out the pockets from the scraps and set aside the scraps. Pull out the thread and needles and sew.
Sounds like a lovely project!
@@VBirchwood I’m quite looking forward to it. The hardest part is getting the energy to cut out. Once that’s done I can easily sew whilst watching tv.
Really loved this video and seeing all the different looks and styles each of you wear!
Thank you!!
