sew_through_time
Добавлен 17 апр 2009
Hi! I'm Maria, a historical costumer and sewist with a passion for recreating historical silhouettes. My main focus is the 18th century to Edwardian fashion and most of my content is from those eras. I have some professional training in modern clothing construction but most of my skills are from a lifetime of sewing, knitting and other crafts. I started historical costuming in 2019 and have been ever since deep diving especially into 18th century construction and technique. Most of what I do I try to stay faithful to historic technique but I do occasionally make things faster but I try my best to always do my homework and keep it a conscious decision when I deviate from historical accuracy.
18th century hairstyle a la Colombe
In this video, I talk about how the high hairstyles of the late 1770s evolve and about the different shapes they take, and we do a hairstyle called coiffure a la Colombe or hairstyle of the dove. We also discuss 18th century hygiene and the practice of pomading and powdering the hair for both creating the hairstyles and for cleaning the hair.
To create this hairstyle you will need:
1 big round hair cushion
2 smaller hair cushions like hair doughnuts opened
at least 2 wide hairpieces or more if your hair is finner
one ponytail type bigger hairpiece for the back flip
pomade either historical or modern
hair powder or corn starch (with essential oils for added scent)
hair pins and bobby pins

Supportive regency corset made easy
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.21 день назад
In this video, I go through what actually is the regency silhouette and how it is achieved through corsetry and we make a regency corset for the lazy. I troubleshoot how to get enough support for a larger cup size to get that correct silhouette. I sewed these entirely by hand because they are such a quick and easy project but you can use a machine if you prefer and I highly recommend that for y...

Wonderful! Another thoroughly enjoyable and informative video
Panties over the girdle/garters, thank you!!! Love your videos ❤
So incredibly interesting. I adore anything historical so very happy I found you! Such pretty hair too ☺️
🥰🥰🥰
How can you bend forward with that wooden busk?
Hip flexors
So elegant!
Thank you for this. I love your channel
I will definitely try 😍
Great! ❤️
Wowwwwwwwww ❤❤
Very cool!
I love this ! Thank you so much for posting it.
I just recently got a corset cover from a antique store. Good to know they were worn in the 1880s.
I hope you do the advent calendar again this year. It was fun waiting to see which decade you dressed up in for each day.
@@beaniebear1122 I intend to 😊 and hopefully don't get sick so I can't finish it like last year 😅
do you ever get slightly worried when you start cutting that you've not measured right? I always have a little heart in the mouth moment when I first start cutting my fabric
Cutting into anything this expensive is slightly terrifying but I just repeat to myself that piecing is period so if a cut would go wrong I can always just piece and fix it 😊
😃😍🥰👏👏👏👏👏
I love that outfit! Where do you get your stocking for colder weather?
Mostly vintage ones I've found throughout the years and the thicker ones I knit
Were you a model in a previous life?!🔥
Haha I'm short
@ The best things come in small packages!
Beautiful outfit
I love your videos. I'm especially impressed by your ability to create updos and period hairstyles. They add authenticity to the whole look. Sometimes I even think you've cut your hair and look closely for your little tricks to hide it! 😂
Haha yes the hairstyles really make the eras and honestly it is getting a bit tricky to make work for some styles 😅
gorgeous look!
I love the way you turn to show the clothes. Stunning outfit as usual.
Thank you so much!😊
Will you please make a tutorial for a Victorian wrapper it would be greatly appreciated 😊
Wrapper styles change quite a bit during the victorian era 😅
Given the hairstyles and clothing worn by Victorians and Edwardians, it is little wonder that the affluent women and men needed ladies's maids and butlers. As a young woman, I always spent a fair bit of time each day shampooing, blow drying, and curling my hair. I needed to look nice for my office, but I never enjoyed it. It was a lot of work each morning. Now that I am old, all I do is make sure my hair is clean and combed. I wear it reasonably short now, and I much prefer it this way. I do love the Edwardian styles, though. I loved the ladies hair, clothing, hats, etc. on Downton Abbey for example. Love the Gibson Girl look. I would never have the patience to try to create that look for myself, though.
Out of curiosity (since my circumference measurements are similar to yours but I’m long-waisted): what is your waist to underbust measurement? Also, what about your high hip (hip bone) circumference? I also found the Ballerina Corset to be a great base to modify.
@@ShakespeareDoomsday my high hip is 40 inches. Waist to underbust I don't remember off the top my head and I'm traveling this weekend but since there isn't a clear cup in the Edwardian era I'd just measure from the waist to the apex and add height if needed, the bust will do it's thing 😜
Thank you and no worries about the other measurements! I’ll also definitely rewatch your Ballerina Corset video since I know what length adjustments I did to that one. I’m not going to start on making this one until after the Christmas present grind is over (or at the very least, after the musical production I’m currently playing in is over). I’m going to audition in April for a musical that’s set in that in this time frame. I’m confident I’ll get it, though, especially since the roll is specifically written for someone with my rare voice type and I know the show very well. If I don’t get it, I’ll have another good back support option for playing in the pit orchestra.
These tutorials are great. Love how you go through and explain the reasons for what they did.
You never cease to amaze. You seem to be able to turn your hand to anything! Love the asymmetrical swathing. Nice!
Thanks 🥰
Bring back hats ❤!!!
I really like the relaxed filming style you’ve been doing recently, feels like we’re on face time lol. The noir style hats are sooo particular and very dramatic and angular compared to earlier decades. Very very cool.
A fantastic project for anyone’s skill level. Just beautiful
I love it! I never considered making a hat before, but this one looks simple enough to try!
How is your hair so long, my hair is similar in texture and thickness to yours but only down to my hips. Do you have any tips on how to make it grow faster😊
Interesting! Now I just have to get an outfit that suits this style of hat... (Been wanting one for quite some time, just haven't got to making it yet.)
Love it! A sort of bastardised wimple. Definitely having a go at that: a great way to cover the ears in cold weather without totally squashing the hair.
Yes fashion always goes around and and around in endless cycles 😅😂 and if you make it out of a tightly woven wool it's surprisingly good at keeping the wind off your ears too! The rest of me was freezing when we filmed the reveal (because I was vain and didn't want to wear a coat 😂) but my ears were fine despite the strong cold wind
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Breathtaking
Love the pillow sleeve dance! 😂

I know this video is old but you're sooo underrated... Best historical costuber by far
@@lilyn7497 thank you 🥰🥰🥰
11.11 is the independent day in Poland 😊 Where can I get the knitting instruction for your knitted items? You look great in this outfit! 👍🏻☺️
The hat I think is on ravelry 🤔 the sweater is too but honestly that pattern was a trainwreck 😅 but there are a ton of original knitting pattern books on archive
Thank you 😊
I like the hat, it gives witchy vibes. 😊❤
Such an awesome sweater! Did you make it yourself?
Yes 😊
Do the combinations you're wearing allow for easy bathroom access I wonder?
Those stockings!!!!🤤 🫨 Great voice over and editing as always!
Thank you 🥰
I love the explanations.❤
So good to see this lovely nod to the 11th, especially something more relaxed and everyday.
The sweater is beautiful! Did you knit it?
Thanks yes I did along with all the other knits in this 😊
I wonder if this kind of outfit was considered provocative. It is quite transparent.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love that over coat! Wow. And of course, stunning as always. Okay..sweater..oops. 😅
