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.
dressing reform vs fashion 1908
In this video, I dress in two vastly different styles from the same year 1908, in reform artistic dress and mainstream fashion. Reform dress took its queues from fashion but interpreted it to a much looser softer silhouette that worked better for its ideals of unrestrictive clothing that freed the female form from its tight bindings. There were philosophic, political, and even health-based reasoning behind the style, and the reasons why an individual would choose to wear it or mainstream fashion varied but here are examples of the two styles to give you an understanding of how they differed from each other.

history of the swimsuit, 18th century to modern
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.14 дней назад
In this video, I go through the history of women's swimwear showing items that I have made using historical patterns and original vintage pieces. We go through both the development of style as well as materials. For more examples I've made a pinterest board cl.pinterest.com/sew_through_time/swimsuit-history/ Videos on making some of the suits: ruclips.net/video/pWsOu7fN3hY/видео.htmlsi=jWPg2NBr...
1924 swimsuit, free pattern!
Просмотров 918Месяц назад
In this video, I make a bathing suit using an antique pattern that I've digitized and made available for personal use. It is a single-size pattern meant for a 40-inch bust but can be easily altered to fit a wide range of sizes. The original instructions are a bit vague as sewing knowledge was expected in the era but in this video, I show how I made mine to give you a better idea of how to make ...
making the 1930s body, girdle from a free pattern
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Месяц назад
In this video, I explain the different shapewear options of the 1930s to create the correct silhouette and make a girdle from a free pattern. I go through the fact that a girdle is basically just a rebrand for the corset, giving it a new more modern name but the function of creating the correct shape is still the same. For my girdle, I used 1/2 yard of cotton twill fabric, 3 yards of linen bias...
One braid 100 years of hair! 1840-1940s easy hairstyles
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.Месяц назад
In this video, I go through easy hairstyles from the 1840s to 1940s using only one long braid. These are great for a daytime historical look or for adding a bit of vintage flair to your everyday look. All you need is a long braid, some hairpins and for the early 1900s look some sort of hair cushion. All of these can be easily done in under 5 minutes.

I've never seen a reform dress but it makes sense that countercultural fashion was around then as well! I will always be a sucker for the more structured mainstream silhouettes but the reform outfit looks really comfy.
If you are interested in learning more about reform dress I have a video on making it and I go into much more detail about the styles origins 😊
@@sewthroughtime thanks, I'll check it out 😊
Wow! What a lovely gown. You look fabulous!
❤❤
I've never heard of a Reform Corset before, thank you for doing ths comparison. Have you done a tutorial on the Reform Corset previously? I'd love to know how to make one.
It's an antique so no, I haven't made one 😅 but I probably will some time in the future 😊
I loved this video! I have to make a polonaise later this year.
I haven’t heard of reform dress. Very interesting. Both are very nice but the reform dress doesn’t seem too practical to wear out and about. It might be nice in the salon or art studio. Your videos are so interesting, and I love how you explain what all the different items of clothing are called and their function.
I had never seen or heard of the reform dress movement. Looks very caftan-like.
Fascinating - they loved to ruin their clothes by pinning it? 😂😂😂😂 No.
That dress looks beautiful on you.
I'd actually wear this today. I'm all about comfort & warmth ☺️
Reform/artistic dress is my fave era ever!
Beautiful ❤
The over dress seems almost pointless as you're pretty much already dresses by the time you get to it. I guess it's more like an apron/ dress to keep everything else clean 🤔
Love them all.
I can feel the clsterphobia as soon as I saw the corset 😮
Great video. Beautiful dresses.😊
Is this outfit tuck friendly?
Stay away from muddy, slick surfaces and bodies of water, ladies!! I know, I know!! You can’t go out to do your washing without the proper number of layers of clothes on as that would be scandalous in any season and deadly the 11 months of cold weather; only three of which are technically, winter. 😉 I remember my eldest daughter employing a very similar..(and similarly uncomfortable looking to me-back then and now-as an “old” woman in the throes of…”The Change” lol!! 😂)..”style” of a layering technique with camisoles, tank tops, t-shirts, long sleeved shirts and hoodies in her late middle and early high school years. This after her grade school years of seemingly, needing no coat in January, never mind layers of clothing. So funny!! I do realize that the layering you’re showing was for warmth…meaning functionality. But, ladies? Remember to also, avoid situations which may require that you run. Thanks for modeling the dress. I find textiles and clothing (and the processes involved to get those items) from earlier times so fascinating. They’re a very little recognized way to assess many different cultural cues that were happening in those specific years/timeframes. It’s really cool. 🙂🕊🫶🏼
both so lovely! but based on my personality, I would most likely be a reform dresser if I lived in that era, being an artistic type that likes to be different 😊
They are both pretty. I can't believe all the layers worn and you still look thin and shapely. I think I would melt in 4 layers of clothing on my top half. Although I like the idea of the reform style of corset. It looks comfortable and still supportive.
It really isn't all that hot, the layers insulate you so your temp stays much more even. But as far as corsets go I'll choose the fashionable one if I'm doing more than lounging 😅 I prefer proper back support 😜
Wow, never heard of the reform dress. Im guessing that all the slightly more “healthy” women preferred the looser gown.
Health enthusiasts and artistic types
Your period clothes are so gorgeous!
I love them both. I dress a bit like the reform style sometimes :P
I wear the reform instead of sweats at home all the time 😜
To be more specific, this is a style that was common in eastern finland :D (the clasp shapes are round in the west and longish in the east!)
Your content is incredible good. Congrats 🎉
Funny to see how big the difference between eastern and western Wiking fashion. ❤😂
I love your speaking voice and narration! this is a great channel
How did they pee?
Screaming in Texas because I would pass away just wearing the first wool dress. Cold climates must be so fun though since you can wear all these layers!
Looks like precursor to crochet
Wonderful, thank you ❤
I’m curious about the necessity of the yellow over dress layer (fashion/beauty?) and is the apron for all the time or just work (I guess work was pretty often tho 😅)
poor women. that's awful.
I think you mean a "carry-over" from the 18th century. A carry-on, is a bag that you take with you on a plane.
Eastern? 😂
Stunning!
The overskirt is fabulous.🎉
How does that scarf stay on. My hair is the texture of silk, nothing stays on. I mean, great its healthy, but bonnets come off, scarves come off - everything. I braid it- but I would love to cover it.
I feel lucky living nowadays!!
My apologies I gotta ask..is it difficult to use the loo in the crinoline cage? I wouldn't even know where to begin😅
A full explanation of the process is coming either at the end of this month or early September depending how a few other projects go
Found this fascinating but I don’t know the thing about the bobby pin! No wonder my hair has fallen out so many times!
I just realized that a slip might help me feel better when wearing dresses
That's a whole other kind of ridiculous. I appreciate the aesthetic, but honestly, there is no way I'd ever go back to putting on torture devices like waist cinchers, girdles, or whatever. That girls today put that crap on to shrink their waists is a sad testament to the lack of education for our struggles. Don't they know the answer is not to suffer for a fake expectation but to actually 1) change the expectation, or 2) genuinely meet it.
I love this one!
You looked out that window two minutes in and my Thalassophobia was already over it XDD
I want morw viking decades~
When did we start pronouncing it corSET? Like we're all French. It's always been Corset corrrrrset in the US. Not trolling, I'm legit curious about this, I'm an 80's kid, Madonna's corsets were the thing and that word was popular
Uau! Beautiful
Beautiful little vignette
East europeans looked very different. They wore vegetal fabric clothes ( mostly white with red and black decorations) and they used fur clothes during cold seazons. Look for "ia româneasca/romanian blouse", "bundiţă" & "cojoc"
