I’m not busty but I just LOVE my longline bra from Freya. Most of my bra bands are nice and tight to give the most support (and even more important for me, stop the bra from moving around and needing adjustment), but the longline feels like a nice hug as it wraps around your whole ribs! I’d love another one.
I think it came out if fashion with the end of the corset era, though the safety pin continued on as a way to fix clothing in certain arrangements without stabbing yourself all day. Straight pins were no big deal to use against your body when you had several layers of thick, sturdy, or tightly woven fabric to shield you from them, you just make sure to affix them in the correct direction and bury the ends snugly between two layers.
Thanks for posting this underrepresented example of clothing from a neglected period. The contrast between this and your "Dressing the Tudor lady" video is quite telling. It strikes me that this is a transitional style between late medieval and early renaissance clothing. I love the predecessor to the gable home.
Fashion from 1480s up to 1510s, is neglected indeed. Just recently I found on pinterest brass depicting lady which wears fashion, which is between style of portraits of Elizabeth Woodville(70s) and Elizabeth of York (late 90s), so it is most likely 1480s fashion. And such intriquing headwear! The transitional piece between short henin and gable hood. I've seen hundreds of brasses on PInterest, yet it is the only one I'd say is from 1480s, and proving almost unbelievable theory that gable hoods evolved from henin.
This was a wonderful twist on your usual getting dressed video. I love not only seeing all the layers, but also seeing how accessories were used to give variety to their wardrobes.
I believe Mariah Pattie has some videos about historical capsule wardrobes, and also one of about this time period! You might be interested in watching those
I fondly remember finding your videos in late 2016/early 2017 when I had just given birth to my daughter. Watching you dress in gorgeous historical attire was a great way to pass the time while nursing or rocking her to sleep. Now she's four years old and runs around in dresses like a little princess 🥰. So glad to see you still dressing up! Love all the context and explanations!
I watched this for the headdressing, and you surpassed my wildest expectations (as usual). My biggest takeaway lay elsewhere, though. I would never in a million years have thought of stuffing the back pleats, and the effect is so striking. I may have to borrow that for my own (non-historical) designs.
At last, someone covers this period in fashion. We all know the mid and late Tudor/Elizabethan styles, but we never see the early period. When I binged The White Princess, I was disappointed that none of the costumes remotely looked like yours. Well done and beautiful choice of fabrics and colors!
Yeah, I've seen some other people do 14th century and earlier and late 16th century and later and almost nothing in 15th century or early 16th (especially outside of England) so always nice to see late 1400s-early 1500s, would love seeing more (especially Italy)
I love that kirtle! I would wear that everyday. I actually prefer dresses. I'm short and pants just do not fit in the crotch or the length. The fabrics are just do die for and that metal belt, wow. You looked amazing in this. The headpieces are so flexible in what you make them depending on the occasion. Really loved the video!!!!
I'm with you. For medical reasons, I change weight frequently (with over a seventy pound range, back and forth) - so trousers, with their dependence on stable and normative proportions, are almost an impossibility.
One of things I deeply appreciate about you is your sense of humor and your truly lovely smile! All of your information and your demonstrations are also terrific. Thank you.
One of the reasons I watch your videos is honestly because we're nearly the same size (I'm a 34G), so it's wonderful to see that we chesty ladies can look amazing in every era. (I'm also here for Merlin content lol)
Loved this information, especially about how the headwear was changed up for different looks. Also thank you for the comment on how supportive the kirtle was as a well endowed woman, I also find support from underneath and not pulling on my shoulders much more comfortable.
That wool satin is gorgeous! I had no idea it was a thing - though I imagine anything can be made into satin - and the colour in particular is stunning. PS: You'll find those rings much later like you found those stockings in some pockets a while back :))
I love this video! I wondered for years how they went from regular medieval front-lacing Kirtles with just wool lined with some linen, to all of a sudden full tudor super stiff bodices with buckram etc. Most reënactors I come across choose one or the other, medieval period or full tudor, but never this weird transitional era from 1490-1500. I always wondered how the transition happened. These bodices with a few layers of stiff thick linen makes so much sense! And this in-between early tudor-like hood that slowly transitioned from the medieval woolen hoods. It makes me so happy that the puzzle is more complete now in my head! :D
It makes a lot of sense for a woman and I guess a man also to have adjustable wardrobe in case of weight gain or weight loss due to either pregnancy, a food baby or just diverse body shapes. i'm sure they were as diverse then as they are now. I wonder tho... How would a mother breastfeed her baby if she breastfeeds at all? I don't see how those clothes accomodate any sort of breastfeeding except maybe for the first layer, the chemise. Maybe they did the breastfeeding only in their private chamber or had wet nurses if they had access to that?
Peasant women wore gowns like this, just with cheaper materials. The ideal wear for breast feeding would be to have the kirtle lace up through the centre, so you could easily undo and redo the laces as needed.
I absolutely love you. It feels like a friend and I are playing dress-up together and you're telling me about life back in the day. I hope you have time for many more of these. You are appreciated.
I really like your more recent videos where you talk, like this one (though there is some strange interference in this one, like wind noise?). My favorite videos are the ones that have both - where you talk & have words on the screen at the same time. I really like how you went into detail about everything, and showed some of the different variations.
This is such a great and informative video!👍👍👍 Thank you!!! ❤️ And the outfit with all its possible varieties to wear turned out absolutely stunning!!! 😍😍😍 The period around 1500 is really interesting and your video made me very much aware of the fact that it was a time of transition, i.e. the link between the medieval Burgundian gowns and hennins and the later Tudor/ Elizabethan fashion. Especially the "pixie hat"/veil combination reminded me of the hennin+veil looks. It's really fascinating! ✨🤩
Another great video! though whomever was the camera opperator seemed to like to bash the microphone quite a bit which made it hard to hear in points. Something to keep in mind for next time
This is why it's advised to have a mic separate from the body of the camera! Usually it's better for the audio anyway to have the mic closer to the speaker/subject. In some camera models even the zoom makes enough noise that travels the camera body to be heard over all the audio from the body mic
Bravo! As usual you have done a great job of not only showing your hand at making a lovely dress, but showing us how the period look is achieved. I would have have thought there was a precursor to a bum roll or a bustle. And did you call them Sausage Rolls? lol too perfect. Thank you for another informative and beautiful video. Your location looks great.
Wonderful, as always. I can't believe that it's five (or possibly six) years since the first one. I've enjoyed them all and learn something every time.
I applaud you, not just for the dress but for headwear too. Too many times we see frontlets and bonnet, without actual bonnet part. (I don't know if bonnet was separate from paste or if it is a synonym, however, the way you have it, it creates the desired shape at the back, so thumbs up!) By 1500, unless you were an older lady keeping to old-style, or child, you would wear bonnet, and not have flat back as with French hood. And so many TV shows and recreators never bother to create the correct shape at the back. Just a little note, yes timeframe for the dress is correct, however, in c.1505-7, ladies started to pin back the veil under the bonnet(under paste). And that style of gable hood continued to be most popular for the entire 1510s. The best example of that style is the Westminster Tournament roll from 1511, depicting Catherine of Aragon, probably Princess Mary Rose Tudor(Henry VIII's sister) next to her, and then a bunch of court ladies. And some of them have their hoods with a colourful back veil. But it is the only example I've seen. I also sympathize with you about the fabric available for recreation. With how it is hard with getting high enough quality of linen, how hard it would be to get such a thing as gold brocaded velvet?
Thank you so much for this lovely video! I really loved reading The Queen's Servants and it's wonderful to see the sort of early Tudor gowns they described leap off the page into reality and motion. The entire ensemble is so gorgeous and well made, it's such a delight to see how it all comes together. Thank you for sharing your work!
I didn’t realize that tawny was orange, I had always assumed it was a sort of light golden brown, as in an animal's fur (or my hair, come to think of it, often described as a pale mink color).
I'm a 32g and I love my kirtle! I can jump up and down, run up and down stairs, bend over... A normal or sports bra is no where near as good for any of those
Beautiful outfit ...have you ever thought of dressing as one of the Turkish women like the ones in Ertrugal the series? The beaded veiled caps and stuff, that would be interesting.
Huh, I had just assumed that the hoods would be pinned onto a cap to protect them from hair oils. Neat! As I always do anytime you post a video for the older fashions, now I want to expand to this period, lol!
Lovely video! I love that you started filming in landscape, so the whole frame is filled. Something I noticed though: instead of zooming in, (which was a little shaky at times) you could shoot the entire video in a wider angle, and later crop parts of the video, where you want a more close-up effect. Anyway, I really love all of your dressing up videos!
Was watching Britain's Tudor Treasure A Night at Hampton Court and I think you might have been the one carrying Princess Mary's robe. (Hopefully I haven't confused you for someone else if I did my bad). Your outfit was splendid!
I love this version of things, though i always liked you dressing ups even if other people did them as well. One request I have, you used to have written commentary before you had voice recording, any chance you would be willing to add it back in? It just helps a lot for people with hearing difficulties.
Just goes to show that there are very few truly new ideas. All the modern fashion stylists, talking about making 45 different outfits from 9 items and "accessorise, dahling" as if they just came up with the fashion and the Tudors were doing it 500 yrs ago! :-)
Would you be interested in creating a 1480s gown and headwear? I found great inspiration! St. Mary in the Marsh, in Kent: Matilda Jamys brass. She died 1499, but without doubt, she ordered her brass years prior. The headwear is a transitional piece between henin and an early gable hood. Marvelous to look at. Would not be surprised if it was in style when Henry VII became King.
Wonderful video. I enjoyed all of the detailed information you gave on each piece! I also love The Tudor Tailor! Oh, and I adored your background for the video. The Unicorn tapestries are breathtaking! I had the privilege of seeing the reproductions at Stirling in 2019. They are awe inspiring!
I love how the dress moves and the form of it (love panniers, crinolines etc. as well) and its definetly a weird like in some aspects, but its my favourite thing about the dresses, but I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Also generally, enjoyed the video, it is lovely with such interesting information, especially the furs, though I would've loved if you had displayed the first belt for a bit, is it just 2 different pieces of cloth? is it two pieces connected to the 1 piece with hooks on, didn't get to see that one as much, but besides that wonderful, I always enjoy your videos :)
Love this! And can I comment on that fabulously full skirt? I wanted to say “clasp your shift betweenyour knees so it doesn’t rise up” as you shimmied out of the kirtle.
I think your "dressing up medieval lady" was the first of your videos I ever saw and I've loved learning bits about historical dress with you ever since. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these videos! I really enjoyed this video as well, though the microphone fondling is frustrating and detracts from the experience
Oh my gosh, the pointed bonnet is absolutely adorable! I've half a mind to make one to use as a winter hat. Is the pattern included in the Queen's Servants book? Thank you!
After hearing how comfortable the inner dress layer is, I wish there was a modern version of these dresses with lace up on the sides! Are there similar but more modern garments for sale out there?
This was fantastic! As a busty lady, I support the notion of bringing back reinforced kirtles as daily wear!
I’m not busty but I just LOVE my longline bra from Freya. Most of my bra bands are nice and tight to give the most support (and even more important for me, stop the bra from moving around and needing adjustment), but the longline feels like a nice hug as it wraps around your whole ribs! I’d love another one.
@@twobluestripes I've got a Freya Longline as well, and I absolutely LOVE it!! Looks great, stays in place, and super supportive.
I never knew, until I started watching this channel, how much they relied on pins in the old days to hold their clothes together. Really surprising.
That's why money for a woman's personal use was called "pin money".
Sounds dangerous too lol!
I think it came out if fashion with the end of the corset era, though the safety pin continued on as a way to fix clothing in certain arrangements without stabbing yourself all day. Straight pins were no big deal to use against your body when you had several layers of thick, sturdy, or tightly woven fabric to shield you from them, you just make sure to affix them in the correct direction and bury the ends snugly between two layers.
I still do use safety pins to hold my handmade winter skirts. And it works as a charm... No problems of stuck Zipper, Or lost button...
Pins and wire. Pins I get, but amount of wire used for woman's headwear in Tudor times-it's unbelievable!
That was so interesting, thank you. You know what they say, "often copied, never beaten"!
I love the dark green colour. It's really pretty.

Please show us your tudor capsule wardrobe and how many outfits you can make by mixing all you kirtle sand gowns!
I believe Mariah Pattie has some videos about historical capsule wardrobes, and also one of about this time period! You might be interested in watching those
it's a "historybounding" capsule wardrobe if that's what you're looking for!

No one does the "dressing up as" historical period videos like you Ms. Isabela aka Prior attire! :)
One of things I deeply appreciate about you is your sense of humor and your truly lovely smile! All of your information and your demonstrations are also terrific. Thank you.
That dress is an absolutely lovely shade of green.
I love the red gablehood ❤❤❤ the clothing from this time period is simply lovely

"It's much heavier to hold than to wear." I have said the exact same thing about my plate armour : )

A lady of this status would certainly have had a wet nurse, yes.

Thank you so much for the stills at the end. The understructure of the rounded pleats at the back were especially interesting.
I enjoyed your take on tudor undergarments accomodating your figure , better than today's .
I can see ehy noble ladies had such fair skin! So many layers...
This is such a great and informative video!👍👍👍 Thank you!!! ❤️ And the outfit with all its possible varieties to wear turned out absolutely stunning!!! 😍😍😍 The period around 1500 is really interesting and your video made me very much aware of the fact that it was a time of transition, i.e. the link between the medieval Burgundian gowns and hennins and the later Tudor/ Elizabethan fashion.

I second bringing back the kirtle!
Yup! Let's bring back the kirtle! I think 21st century women are ready for it!
Yeah they are fat
16:09 yes, please, let's bring this back 🙏😂
You might wanna look into a longline bra, i love those for that reason
Agreed! Let’s make this happen!
I loved the kirtle fabric. Beautiful!
Another great video! though whomever was the camera opperator seemed to like to bash the microphone quite a bit which made it hard to hear in points.

Oh my gosh, I’ve been hoping for an early Tudor video 😁
Thanks for sharing love the colours. The spin at the end is my favorite part
For some reason this reignites the desire to create Merida's dress
Bravo! As usual you have done a great job of not only showing your hand at making a lovely dress, but showing us how the period look is achieved.

I am currently working on a design for an early Tudor Selkie costume and this has BY FAR been the most helpful video in the design process!!!
Like the designer or the mythical creature? Either way I am fascinated and need to know if you succeeded!!!
Stunning green gown! well done you!
Your videos are fascinating, you bring those old pictures alive. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this lovely video! I really loved reading The Queen's Servants and it's wonderful to see the sort of early Tudor gowns they described leap off the page into reality and motion. The entire ensemble is so gorgeous and well made, it's such a delight to see how it all comes together. Thank you for sharing your work!
8:30 that orange shade frontlet is so gorgeous
Lovely video...just had to pause to buy the book!
Wonderful video. The "getting ready for bed" format is so clever and refreshing!
I didn’t realize that tawny was orange, I had always assumed it was a sort of light golden brown, as in an animal's fur (or my hair, come to think of it, often described as a pale mink color).
wool satin you say? Well thank you, now I want some gown made from that material.
The dress and the fabric are really awesome and you look amazing!
We say that imitation is the truest for of compliment
Lovely as always. The green is beautiful, and the choice to use the wrong side of the brocade was spot on!
I'm a 32g and I love my kirtle! I can jump up and down, run up and down stairs, bend over... A normal or sports bra is no where near as good for any of those
Imagine this kirtle in historybounding. Would love to try out this type of bust support.
The combination of pink and green in this dress is amazing!
Beautiful outfit ...have you ever thought of dressing as one of the Turkish women like the ones in Ertrugal the series? The beaded veiled caps and stuff, that would be interesting.
Oh, how I love your videos! Please keep them coming! And, don't wait so long to offer them! KUDOS to you & your channel!!!👋🤗🥰
The twirl is necessary to see the entire look.
:)
Head gear closet was interesting.
Total aside, but whatever you are using for skin care is fantastic. You look so fresh!
Very lovely. I really like the pointy hood aka pixie hat,it is cute. See you next time,take care.
Thank you! This was fun, but I like your dressing up videos, too. They're the best ones out there!
Oh, I love that dress soooo much!
I always get SO excited when I see you posting a new video! Thank you so much for doing what you do!! You make my day! 🥰
I learn so much from your work! Thank you! What a great idea to alternate the hooks and eyes!
The fabric for the kirtle is gorgeous! Thanks for the information on the hairdo, too! 👩🦰
What a wonderful presentation! Thank you so very much for explaining it all such detail!
That deep green color is so beautiful!
I have made now three outfits from that same book! I love it!
Just ordered their Early Tudor Commercial Patterns! Drafting oatterns is difficult for me but I’m using their book for construction refrences.
Huh, I had just assumed that the hoods would be pinned onto a cap to protect them from hair oils. Neat! As I always do anytime you post a video for the older fashions, now I want to expand to this period, lol!
It was during the Little Ice Age so the lining of fur would come in handy.
Beautiful dress and so many layers
Loved the head dressings too
Thanks for sharing video

I was working there , yes:-)
I love, love the little.the fabric (yes that side best!) The reinforced bodice (I need that!) And just, the overall look. I'd wear that. Fun outfit.
Loved the video! I was especially drawn to the shoes worn during this period. ❤️
The interior is very beautiful,thanks a lot!
Ready to bestow your colors upon some brave knight as he enters the lists!
I love this version of things, though i always liked you dressing ups even if other people did them as well. One request I have, you used to have written commentary before you had voice recording, any chance you would be willing to add it back in? It just helps a lot for people with hearing difficulties.
just switch the caption on, everything is written down :-)
@@priorattire
The captions were a bit weird when I watched, as if you’d just put the automatic transcript as the captions.
I like this different concept..
Just goes to show that there are very few truly new ideas. All the modern fashion stylists, talking about making 45 different outfits from 9 items and "accessorise, dahling" as if they just came up with the fashion and the Tudors were doing it 500 yrs ago! :-)

Thank you for very, very interesting films, as usually 👗👑
Loved this! So informative, especially the section about all the different styles of headwear. Thank you!!

If I were going to are a gown made, I think I’d like this style as I too am “well endowed”.
If you designed that comfy dress with side ties and post it on your site I would CERTAINLY buy it.
Love this! And can I comment on that fabulously full skirt? I wanted to say “clasp your shift betweenyour knees so it doesn’t rise up” as you shimmied out of the kirtle.
This is by far your best filmed video
Bless you! Beautiful gown!💖
The camera upgrade! The quality is BEAUTIFUL!

The chemise is always there. But it's always ignored
Oh my gosh, the pointed bonnet is absolutely adorable! I've half a mind to make one to use as a winter hat. Is the pattern included in the Queen's Servants book? Thank you!
Yeah, I've always found Gable hoods so striking, and am always sad they aren't used enough in historical dramas.
I really love the gable hood, so pretty and you don’t have to have a hairdo
I love those gable hoods
After hearing how comfortable the inner dress layer is, I wish there was a modern version of these dresses with lace up on the sides! Are there similar but more modern garments for sale out there?
Try Holyclothing!
Try Armstreet.
I found this so interesting. Thankyou.
I agree- I love my Kirtle. I wear it all the time!
So well done.
