I adore how sometimes it's modernizing to the 20th century, like the zipper stays, and sometimes it's modernizing to the 19th century, and it's all sort of... it's all valid. It's going through history and really picking and choosing adaptations that work for you, that are practical but give you the look you want. It's freaking brilliant.
Dear Mariah, you made me rethink my whole wardrobe. I am now designing a capsule wardrobe for myself. I want to be as environmentally friendly and minimal as possible, first reusing, altering and embellishing anything I already have, absolutely no new purchases, second I want to make undergarments from only sustainable materials (linen, wool), last make new garments only if there’s a need. Luckily most women in my country, Czech Republic, are still able to sew, knit, embroider, crochet, ... so I am so looking forward to this adventure. Thank you for inspiring me. I am looking forward to more of your videos. ❤️
I, too absolutely like the modern recreations this girl does. They're fun, of course. But they're even more a REAL thing to wear every day and not just some sort of historical cosplay (which I sure don't mind!).
Another reason not to pad: in fashion school my patternmaking instructor taught us about something called the "tutu effect": short full skirts have zero modesty, there's a good reason that above-the-knee skirts are cut straight!
I was about to comment how fun it is, that modernizing 18th century lead you straight to 1910s/1920s fashion. SUper interesting project, looking forward to hearing how it works out
Whew...the thumbnail made me afraid you were going to wear panniers. There was a recent fashion show that that featured panniers with short skirts and the proportions were so awkward. You're ideas around getting back to wearing undergarments like slips/short shifts/undershirts I think is spot on. When I was little I remember my parents and grandparents wearing those garments and I had some too.
nooo I just thought it was too funny. People have asked in other vids what I plan to do for padding, and 18th C ladies with long skinny supermodel legs was the first thing that popped into my head. 😂
“History-bounding is just like worldbuilding” I am SO inspired by that comment. I’m just about to start my sewing journey (getting my machine for my birthday in a few months) and I’m so moved by your comment to develop my skills so I can fully embrace my worldbuilding instincts and make clothing to make me happy. Thank you!!!
This is what I need. After being told that I am on the verge of having scoliosis two ways (i.e both a slump and one higher shoulder), I've been begging my mum to let me wear a victorian corset everyday to save myself from becoming the hunch back of the nearest gothic church I can find. I have also been spending lots of time thinking about the layer under the corset and came up with the idea of shortening and removing the sleeves of a regency shift. And then you dropped this. I'm so happy right now.
You can check out this free corset pattern. It’s beginner friendly (for people who are comfortable with sewing but not with corsets) and the creator posted a 12 video tutorial going through all the steps. Her channel also has instructions to blending your different circumference sizes on her patterns and how to lengthen / shorten her patterns. www.araneablack.com/corset-overbust-pattern-dolores/
I am 100% not judging you for the drawers. This summer, I made myself a pair of a elastic waistbanded shorts out of grey linen as one of my first sewing projects and now I wear these shorts under all my skirts and dresses that are full enough. I'm planning to make a skirt inspired by 18th century petticoats and was considering a shift to go with it. I just now decided that I need a pair of drawers too.
I am LIVING for this series. It's so well planned and thought out and I love all the different experiments you do! Also they always turn out so much better than my random sewing experiments so it's nice to live vicariously through your success 😂
Can I just say how you are one of my favorite things about Saturday mornings? I ponder a history bounding problem all week, come up with a potential solution, and then you go and make a suggestion that's 10x more practical and thought out. (I'm currently pondering loungewear if you want more things to think through ;-) )
Mariah Pattie I live in Australia, so I doubt it! Though the coincidence sometimes tempts me to start YouTubing my own sewing stuff to confuse and make people associate “Pattie” with a love of history bounding.
This just feels so validating. I'm hugely inspired by HA content, but as for what I personally make, I want to take that knowledge and play with it to suit my personal needs and tastes, practical and creative. I don't mind doing my own thing but I always feel more confident seeing that other people proudly and successfully go that route. :)
I feel the same way about HA stuff. I've always loved learning about it, but for some reason I could never find much motivation to actually make it. But clothes I can wear around, and make up my own rules for, that really got me moving.
One of my favourite ways I’ve come up with for the problem of the silhouette with shortened historical skirts is that I wear a 1950’s style petticoat. It gives the volume that I want while being only one layer and laying pretty close to the body. I’ve also swapped out the more common net variety for one I made out of cotton so it isn’t scratchy against my legs. I love it!
This was so cool! As a well endowed woman I've been considering getting myself a set of modernized stays to try and cut down on my rib pain (underwires are hell but I don't get enough support if I don't have them)I'm so excited to see how this project turns out and might consider doing something similar ☺️
I'm also into this idea. I got an Ageless Patterns 1893 cycling corset pattern that looks super comfy for daily wear. It has side elastic panels and buttons up the front with elastic cord loops. I'll be making it soon-ish but I decided to make an entire 1893 outfit from the skin out, so I just finished the chemise and I'm working on the drawers.
Oh my gosh when you showed the McCalls Pioneer pattern I had to pause the video and laugh, that was the first Historical Costume I made back in middle school! 😁
"Combinations are cool". Love this whole concept. Have been a massive fan of your capsule wardrobes/world building. Love your methodical logical thought process. Can't wait for the next installment.
This please. This is the content I've been wracking my brain over, and the analysis I needed. I love your comparison of history bounding and world building. Brilliant. (Also, yes please modern undie alternatives!!!)
Sock/Hose flashes worn with Highland dress are just an aesthetic evolution from the tails of sock garters. Make them pretty, let them show. In weather when the temperature changes throughout the day or I’m going to be both indoors and outdoors, above the knee socks with garters are excellent. Leggings I’m stuck with for the day, full length socks give me options.
You are doing almost exactly what I want to do. Keep what I love about historical clothing and make it modern. I have to say you did crack me up with the padding part. Lol those with more in certain areas definitely don’t need enhancement!
I love this! I can now un-ashamedly talk about how I use elastic for my petticats and bloomers and that I sew pockets into the side seams off all my bloomers .
I'm doing something similar with my wardrobe! First I decluttered and about 75% of what I had ended up going. I am adding pockets to, and lining the remaining dresses. Once that is done I plan on making two skirts, one heavy tweed and one lightweight wool, using a pattern from 1917. Then I plan on a blouse, two dresses, and the American Duchess 1910 cape. I am already wearing my corset every day. Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. I hadn't even thought about how pantyhose won't work with my corset. I also appreciate separating fabrics by price and making decisions based on that. I saw a video yesterday by someone who was demonstrating what women wore while playing Lawn Tennis in 1885. There was a combination of shift and drawers! It had a butt flap in the back. I look forward to more videos! 😁
I absolutely love your shift/shorts/combination thing! Combining the ideas of multiple eras and making them practical and less bulky, brilliant! The philosophy behind historybounding at its best.
"Combinations are cool" absolutely! I wear bloomers exclusively now (they are far more comfortable and prevent chafing) and just made my first combinations.
I love how you think. Love! That sewing machine is so deeply gorgeous! I just got a Juki Industrial machine at an estate sale for $95 total and was laughing about how strange it is that I want to add more historical clothing to my life while buying a machine that has a boat engine and weighs about as much as a piano. I was thrilled. I deeply agree about the unforeseen repercussions of something like the invention of panties. Your videos are so amazing!
i have not tried making anything historical, but i have been considering, of late, making a chemise due to the fact that finding a full length plus size slip is impossible and fabrics today are SHEER!!! my niece once told me that only old ladies wear slips. well, call me old, but i believe in a degree of modesty, so the chemise has been knocking around in my brain the last few days, after watching videos like this. i also am thinking about trying a corset cover just because i think they are pretty!!!
I (mid 20s) bought a full slip literally today because I have two dresses that are just way too sheer to be worn alone. I'm fine with being an old lady if that means my underwear isn't on full display, my god. I'm also in full support of your chemise idea (I'm making one right now lol) but I do recommend looking on Jockey's website: they make quite good slips in a wide range of sizes.
@@stephaniepiccioni1047 i'm plus size and can't afford department store prices. everything plus size costs way more and options are limited. i'm glad i'm not alone in thinking keeping our intimates private is important.
I absolutely love your thought processes and description of how you are doing this! Thank you so much!!! To have clothing greatly inspired by different periods in history that I can actually wear daily has been a dream of mine my whole life ( I am 65 years old) . you are the first person I have found to actually do it! Such a joy and an inspiration!
I love this. I have limited funds and limited space, so sadly recreating full Regency and Victorian dresses just isn't an option for me because I barely have enough room for my every day clothes. Modernizing historical fashions feels like a lovely way to both experience and wink at the history while still being able to wear those garments every day, with all the bonuses of well made clothes out of natural fibres rather than the rubbish in most stores these days.
YES! 17 seconds in, and YES! This has been my dream for YEARS (maybe even a decade!) and with historybounding now an "official thing," seeing people like you who are so beautifully achieving this goal is so inspirational to me. I've been putting off starting because of perfectionism and my really basic sewing skills, but as I'm not buying clothes either, I'm getting to a point where I've got no choice but to begin! XD Thank you for making these videos and for being a way shower for the rest of us with similar dreams & goals.
I work in a bakery and have been considering making a historically accurate gown to wear to work, but what you're doing is something I'll have to consider
I loved this! You are giving me ao much inspiration for my own sewing plans lol. As someone from a more tropical country the main reason I'm putting off sewing historical underpinnings(and thus historical garments lol) is because I'm concerned about how hot it would be. I love how thoughtful you are about every single minute detail, and even helps my own thought processes a lot.
I've been going through all your old videos for the past few days. I really love your mix of sewing, design, and world building! Looking forward to you next video and all the videos to come!
Not gonna lie. I would seriously love wearing combinations every day. I was always worried about the practical issues so thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Um yes! I’m pretty new to all of this but I work my underpettie coat from the B&T sew along under a modern skirt and it was perfect! I love the idea of modernizing it because obviously there wasn’t much of a problem with it before!
I'd recommend looking at rococo style lolita for inspiration on modernising historical outfits much like your thumbnail! Dresses have built-in pockets, zippers or elastized backs for ease of wear (and to be more form fitting), basically it has much of the frilly ridiculousness look but in daily wearable form 😊
This is complete goals level work! I’m just starting my hand sewing journey, but modernizing historical garments is something I want to ultimately do so I know I will be returning to rewatch and learn from your journey as I progress as well!
As someone who works at a financial institution and has two other jobs im finding this content AMAZING. I’m trying to find a way merge history with modern and make it a wearable business look. I’m loving this new series of yours. And also a bit weirded out that you don’t have more subs. Lots of love xx
Your video on on planning your 18th century historybounding capsule wardrobe totally inspired me to want to make something similar. I'm super excited that you have posted this!
Every since I saw your video about planning a 18th century historybounding capsule wardrobe I have been planning one for myself. This video hit on a lot of issues I've been trying to tackle! I love your solution for pockets. When you started talking about drawers I immediately thought of tap pants from the 1920's-30's. I've seen them from just above knee length too much shorter. Your combinations made me very happy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to wear modern combinations! Your comment about Victorianizing 18th century clothing made me laugh so hard my entire family came to see if I was alright!!!
I love this whole series of 18th century historybounding so much! it's wonderful inspiration and I think I might make my own capsule wardrobe in the future. I've sketched out some ideas for jackets, skirts and dresses, but haven't figured oud the underpinnings. And then you came along with this absolutely masterful videos with great solutions to this little problem. Thank you so much!
like 3 nights ago i literally couldn't go to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about how someone would go about making a historybounding robe a la francaise, so I'm super excited about this whole project you're doing.
Interesting. I know there were shorter, simpler jackets that still had the pleated back, like the Brunswick usually did. Or you could isolate certain elements, like the swirling gathered rows of trim. But to do the full deal, I can only see it working on a special-occasion dress. That would be one epic special occasion dress.
I absolutely LOVE all your practical modernized historical-inspired clothing videos! I FULLY INTEND to make the sports bra and start making other items like yours for my wardrobe! I am just starting my historical costuming journey (1 shift down!) and your channel keeps me so excited about my projects!
I am currently hand stitching a basic gathered linen petticoat to go under my skirts. My next projects will be making stays that allow for a more modern shape, basic shift type underthings, and a lovely caraco based fall jacket. Your videos have made me feel less like a weirdo for incorporating 18th century elements into modern clothing, so thanks for that!
Your exploration into pantaloons reminds me of an episode of Are You Being Served? where Mrs. Slocombe is trying to help a customer decide between being "cold and interesting" in modern bikini panties or "warm and safe" in directoire bloomers. Really fits with your process, finding out what the various things do, what you need, what can be added or omitted.
Thanks for another great video! I jumped up and down and clapped and my seven year old son was like, “did we get ice cream?” Sadly for him no, but your videos are as good as ice cream for me 🥰 🍨 I have very much enjoyed your capsule wardrobe illustrator videos, and this more practical application is a great compliment
I just watched this video twice in a row because this whole thing is so amazing! I love the way you think and talk about these things and I’m so looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
It's just so interesting to see you work all if this out. I can tell from your videos you must be a most interesting person to talk to and to brainstorm with!
As a person that wear lolita fashion a lot. Blommers or shorts is basically something I always wear with dresses and skirts, so while not exactly the same as drawers... they are still more covering that "regular" underwear. Also found it funny what you said about padding affecting silhouette when having shorter skirts, since most of mine are around knee length, and not wanting to use some of the more "full" options of petticoats and hoop-skirts that many lolitas prefer. This project is super interesting, looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
I loved this video! Lately you have become one of my fav TH-camrs. I really like the way you present your decisions and that you truly think about what you want and need, Vs what is 'normal'. Yes. I am inspired
You should look into lolita fashion! It keeps a lot of the elements of historical dress- frills and lace, undergarments to protect valuable clothes, bloomers, etc - but uses modern conveniences like elastic to make it easier to put on and more comfortable to wear.
There's something so fulfilling, so satisfying about this project of yours that I can't even :D It gives me this warm fuzzy feeling inside. Well, apparently there's nothing I can do but to embark on the 18th c. historybounding journey myself! (Once I finally cross a few other projects off my list........)
It's been SO cool seeing this project develop! I love that historybounding allows you to take all the things from history that were so practical and tweak them with your own modern life in mind to make the most convenient and pretty wardrobe possible for yourself. I'd love to do this same kind of thing with a more Victorian/Edwardian take, and watching your wardrobe unfold is really inspiring!
Can’t wait to see your stats with garter attachments! I have been consider that this past winter when I don’t want long shirts that drag in the mud when I do farm chores, but still want warm legs!!
This is SO cool to watch. I'm not really an experienced enough sewer to be making most of the historical garments (Stays can be bought, I'm ok with that!) but the shifts and pants are easy and I am VERY tempted. I made some large pockets this Spring, maybe it's time to make some skirts to go with them....!
Um yes! I’m pretty new to all of this but I wore my underpettie coat from the B&T sew along under a modern skirt and it was perfect! I love the idea of modernizing it because obviously there wasn’t much of a problem with it before. Also simplified combinations!!! I’m not a frilly person and thigh rub is an issue I try to avoid as much as possible! If I can make something like this and have that seam hit so that it’s not a big gap between the thighs that would be fantastic and I’d totally be up for more skirts or dresses on the regular.
I am busy making my modern versions too ! 5 chemises for summer. I went the opposite and lengthened sleeves and use as shirt too with dress or skirt. Drawers next!
I've seen a couple of your videos and I've recently subscribed but this is the video that sold me on your channel ! It's genius ! And it's funny because I was actually considering making a kind of 18th century style petticoat to wear under my skirts to wear them during the coldest days of winter !
I'm working on an 1820s-1840s version of this project, and am having a great time following along with your process. I'm using a 1920s envelope chemise pattern in linen as a version of the chemise/drawers.
This was an awesome brain exercise that we could turn around and apply to any era for any purpose beyond just history bounding. I sometimes get so caught up in feeling like I HAVE to do something a certain way because that's the way it was done at the time, even though doing it that way now would mean some detriment (ie,time-consuming, uncomfortable, prohibitively expensive). You've given me some great ideas.

This has been my dream for YEARS (maybe even a decade!) and with historybounding now an "official thing," seeing people like you who are so beautifully achieving this goal is so inspirational to me. I've been putting off starting because of perfectionism and my really basic sewing skills, but as I'm not buying clothes either, I'm getting to a point where I've got no choice but to begin! XD Thank you for making these videos and for being a way shower for the rest of us with similar dreams & goals.
This may be my new favorite sewing channel. I'm addicted to seeing how your wardrobe will evolve next!
I work in a bakery and have been considering making a historically accurate gown to wear to work, but what you're doing is something I'll have to consider
Of all the seamstresses, you are my new FAVORITE!
The thumbnail kinda made me think of Lolita, there's actually dresses like that, so I was like "that's a thing already" 🤣
New ish to the channel. Love this!
I loved this! You are giving me ao much inspiration for my own sewing plans lol.
As someone from a more tropical country the main reason I'm putting off sewing historical underpinnings(and thus historical garments lol) is because I'm concerned about how hot it would be. I love how thoughtful you are about every single minute detail, and even helps my own thought processes a lot.
As long as you choose your fabric well, it should not be uncomfortably warm.
I've been going through all your old videos for the past few days. I really love your mix of sewing, design, and world building! Looking forward to you next video and all the videos to come!
This is the best experimant going on in this little corner of youtube! Can't wait to see the rest!
Not gonna lie. I would seriously love wearing combinations every day. I was always worried about the practical issues so thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.
I'm so excited to see the rest of your projects come to life!
The conceptual part of this is 100 percent what I am here for. The execution is a bonus though.
Um yes! I’m pretty new to all of this but I work my underpettie coat from the B&T sew along under a modern skirt and it was perfect! I love the idea of modernizing it because obviously there wasn’t much of a problem with it before!
This was fascinating! I am so enjoying your experimentation!
I'd recommend looking at rococo style lolita for inspiration on modernising historical outfits much like your thumbnail! Dresses have built-in pockets, zippers or elastized backs for ease of wear (and to be more form fitting), basically it has much of the frilly ridiculousness look but in daily wearable form 😊
This is complete goals level work! I’m just starting my hand sewing journey, but modernizing historical garments is something I want to ultimately do so I know I will be returning to rewatch and learn from your journey as I progress as well!
Always lovely to see you experiment with new things 😊
As someone who works at a financial institution and has two other jobs im finding this content AMAZING. I’m trying to find a way merge history with modern and make it a wearable business look. I’m loving this new series of yours. And also a bit weirded out that you don’t have more subs. Lots of love xx
Your video on on planning your 18th century historybounding capsule wardrobe totally inspired me to want to make something similar. I'm super excited that you have posted this!
I'm so excited to see this wardrobe come together!
This is definitely my kind of historical clothing!
Every since I saw your video about planning a 18th century historybounding capsule wardrobe I have been planning one for myself. This video hit on a lot of issues I've been trying to tackle! I love your solution for pockets. When you started talking about drawers I immediately thought of tap pants from the 1920's-30's. I've seen them from just above knee length too much shorter. Your combinations made me very happy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to wear modern combinations! Your comment about Victorianizing 18th century clothing made me laugh so hard my entire family came to see if I was alright!!!
I love this whole series of 18th century historybounding so much! it's wonderful inspiration and I think I might make my own capsule wardrobe in the future. I've sketched out some ideas for jackets, skirts and dresses, but haven't figured oud the underpinnings. And then you came along with this absolutely masterful videos with great solutions to this little problem. Thank you so much!
I love all of your thoughts on history-bounding, it's so interesting to follow along on your process!
like 3 nights ago i literally couldn't go to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about how someone would go about making a historybounding robe a la francaise, so I'm super excited about this whole project you're doing.
Interesting. I know there were shorter, simpler jackets that still had the pleated back, like the Brunswick usually did. Or you could isolate certain elements, like the swirling gathered rows of trim. But to do the full deal, I can only see it working on a special-occasion dress. That would be one epic special occasion dress.
for the shift/drawers combo, take a look at the twenties teddy. the crotch was snapped/buttoned. i found it very useful.
This has given me some hope for my wardrobe.
I absolutely LOVE all your practical modernized historical-inspired clothing videos! I FULLY INTEND to make the sports bra and start making other items like yours for my wardrobe! I am just starting my historical costuming journey (1 shift down!) and your channel keeps me so excited about my projects!
I am currently hand stitching a basic gathered linen petticoat to go under my skirts. My next projects will be making stays that allow for a more modern shape, basic shift type underthings, and a lovely caraco based fall jacket. Your videos have made me feel less like a weirdo for incorporating 18th century elements into modern clothing, so thanks for that!
Your exploration into pantaloons reminds me of an episode of Are You Being Served? where Mrs. Slocombe is trying to help a customer decide between being "cold and interesting" in modern bikini panties or "warm and safe" in directoire bloomers. Really fits with your process, finding out what the various things do, what you need, what can be added or omitted.
Thanks for another great video! I jumped up and down and clapped and my seven year old son was like, “did we get ice cream?” Sadly for him no, but your videos are as good as ice cream for me 🥰 🍨 I have very much enjoyed your capsule wardrobe illustrator videos, and this more practical application is a great compliment
You definitely deserve so much more hype and attention for your videos! They are really thought through and nicely made.
I just watched this video twice in a row because this whole thing is so amazing! I love the way you think and talk about these things and I’m so looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
It's just so interesting to see you work all if this out. I can tell from your videos you must be a most interesting person to talk to and to brainstorm with!
Yes’! I love this 18th turned modern for today’s Gals.
Love love love this video!! I love the explanation of the reasons why you chose to do things the way you did.
Absolutely perfect *chef's kiss*
YES! I'm planning something similar and I love seeing your ideas come to life.
Ugh such a cool series! Thank you for posting these:)
Your videos are super interesting. I can't wait to see more historybounding projects!
This is everything I didn't know I was looking for😍
As a person that wear lolita fashion a lot. Blommers or shorts is basically something I always wear with dresses and skirts, so while not exactly the same as drawers... they are still more covering that "regular" underwear.
Also found it funny what you said about padding affecting silhouette when having shorter skirts, since most of mine are around knee length, and not wanting to use some of the more "full" options of petticoats and hoop-skirts that many lolitas prefer.
This project is super interesting, looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Aaah I remember seeing your sketches before on the group, So happy to find you on youtube!
LOVING these
I loved this video! Lately you have become one of my fav TH-camrs. I really like the way you present your decisions and that you truly think about what you want and need, Vs what is 'normal'. Yes. I am inspired
You should look into lolita fashion! It keeps a lot of the elements of historical dress- frills and lace, undergarments to protect valuable clothes, bloomers, etc - but uses modern conveniences like elastic to make it easier to put on and more comfortable to wear.
If we’re being pedantic, turning something from the 18th century into something more 19th century is definitely modernising.
There's something so fulfilling, so satisfying about this project of yours that I can't even :D It gives me this warm fuzzy feeling inside. Well, apparently there's nothing I can do but to embark on the 18th c. historybounding journey myself! (Once I finally cross a few other projects off my list........)
I am so happy I am able to watch this!! I love it more than words can say! I guess that saying “I’m here for this” certainly applies!!
It's been SO cool seeing this project develop! I love that historybounding allows you to take all the things from history that were so practical and tweak them with your own modern life in mind to make the most convenient and pretty wardrobe possible for yourself. I'd love to do this same kind of thing with a more Victorian/Edwardian take, and watching your wardrobe unfold is really inspiring!
victorianizing the 18th century... so basically 1870s ? Oh and the skirt you added giant pockets to is so UTTERLY GORGEOUS, I want a tutorial !
This is amazing! Pretty, practical but most of all wearable.
Can’t wait to see your stats with garter attachments! I have been consider that this past winter when I don’t want long shirts that drag in the mud when I do farm chores, but still want warm legs!!
I’d love to learn more about making stockings that don’t suck.
I’m always in your court cheering you on the whole way. Accuracy be dammed!
You are my hero! Seriously though. I love your videos and hearing your thought processes.
Can't wait to see where this is going!!
I love the combinations setup. It makes me wanna make lacy ones
What fantastic ideas and projects!
This is SO cool to watch. I'm not really an experienced enough sewer to be making most of the historical garments (Stays can be bought, I'm ok with that!) but the shifts and pants are easy and I am VERY tempted. I made some large pockets this Spring, maybe it's time to make some skirts to go with them....!
Yay! I'm so excited!!!!
Um yes! I’m pretty new to all of this but I wore my underpettie coat from the B&T sew along under a modern skirt and it was perfect! I love the idea of modernizing it because obviously there wasn’t much of a problem with it before.
Also simplified combinations!!! I’m not a frilly person and thigh rub is an issue I try to avoid as much as possible! If I can make something like this and have that seam hit so that it’s not a big gap between the thighs that would be fantastic and I’d totally be up for more skirts or dresses on the regular.
I am busy making my modern versions too ! 5 chemises for summer. I went the opposite and lengthened sleeves and use as shirt too with dress or skirt. Drawers next!
I've seen a couple of your videos and I've recently subscribed but this is the video that sold me on your channel ! It's genius ! And it's funny because I was actually considering making a kind of 18th century style petticoat to wear under my skirts to wear them during the coldest days of winter !
I love your way of thinking!
You are brilliant. Thank you for this !
I'm working on an 1820s-1840s version of this project, and am having a great time following along with your process. I'm using a 1920s envelope chemise pattern in linen as a version of the chemise/drawers.
This was an awesome brain exercise that we could turn around and apply to any era for any purpose beyond just history bounding. I sometimes get so caught up in feeling like I HAVE to do something a certain way because that's the way it was done at the time, even though doing it that way now would mean some detriment (ie,time-consuming, uncomfortable, prohibitively expensive). You've given me some great ideas.
I love this. I really enjoy your channel. I look forward to see more of what you come up with.
