Wow, I had no idea they used bustles in that era! Not surprising though, as the false rumps were still in some people's living memory at the time. Thank you!
Quick question! I noticed you have a (super duper awesome) tattoo on your forearm. Do you cover it when dressing historically or do you let it shine? I ask as I have brightly coloured hair and I'm curious as to how different re-enactors work with their body's anachronisms.
Aw thanks! I actually haven't had the tattoo long enough to think about how I want to deal with it in historic costume. I think it will depend on the venue. If I'm at Costume College and hanging out in a hotel in LA - I honestly wont cover it up, but if I'm at a historic property, I will probably try and cover it up, either with long sleeves or makeup. As for hair - I love love love brightly colored hair with historic dress. I think it's SO fun, and for some time periods more accurate than what you might expect. :) Just do whatever makes you happy and comfortable. :)
Is the hardcover version of a work woman’s guide on Amazon the same thing as the book you have? I looked for them online and there’s some on eBay but they’re over $100.
what kindof cord do you use and would you have anything youd recommend as the "most heavy-duty" cord you could use for cording? wouw super pretty sentence there, forgive me
@@anjanunnenmacher344 such a good tip thank you! actually makes it alot easier to find, my haberdashery here keeps trying to sell me this plastic stuff to make lettuce edges when i try to explain it... lost in translation i suppose
I believe the cord is 4/32 cord (which is what I wrote on the diagram), but I'm not 100% sure. Like Anja says - a 1/4" cord is good too. I got mine at a local fabric store, but you can find it on Amazon and other places with search words like "cotton cord" etc. :)
Love your video. But for us it’s never made. Costumes like this could slow down just a wee bit so we get a little bit better idea have you put it together. Got to follow you through it. Thank you so much
Hi! You can look at the diagram that we've provided (link in info) which has the cutting instructions and bare minimum sewing directions. If you want to slow down the video - you can do that in the settings section (Click the Gear in the lower right and then speed). While we want to document the process of sewing, the finished project, and will try to provide cutting diagrams or patterns when applicable, this vlog isn''t intended to be a step by step tutorial. :)
I love all the added visuals and comments included to the video 😂 “stout calico”

So cool! It looks very simple to make and I can see how that could make a big difference in poofing out the skirt.
This is cool. And yes sewing is hard!
Bustley goodness!
That's a stout calico, all right! I prefer a tuxedo, myself. LOL! And I think done is better than perfect sometimes #UnderwearDontCare right?
so that's how you get a better bell shape..hm looks like i have some more work for my 1830's ensemble

Hi there, when putting everything on, is the bustle under the petticoat layers?
Is the hardcover version of a work woman’s guide on Amazon the same thing as the book you have? I looked for them online and there’s some on eBay but they’re over $100.

1/4 inch cotton cording like you can get for macrame crafts would be your best option, you can get a lot for super cheap too

KnotsAndCoDesign on etsy has a 6mmx120 m cording which 6 mm is the 1/4 an inch

Will it still be correct or accurate to just use the regular petticoats and a corded petticoat ?
Yep, that's totally fine too! The bustle enhances the silhouette a bit, but it's not required.
