A note on the hairpins . If you type in Amish made stainless steel hair pins you will come up with hair pins that are very similar to wig pins, in straight and crinkle,and they are wayyy sturdier than your drug store u pins. I know some ballerinas use them if they have like especially long hair . I have hair down to my hips and use them every day and they hold all day , hope this helps 😊
I really like the "tortoise shell" pins. They come in 4" 5" and 6" on Amazon. They can be tucked in completely so they do not show or they can be left slightly loose to add a decorative look. I have Auburn hair (bit darker than yours) and I like either the "natural" color or the dark mahogany.
It looks like a delicious, if fuzzy, loaf of challah bread. :) I've been studying making hairpieces and wig styling for a while now, but your tutorials are SO informative! Just found your channel, and girl, I'm all over these videos like a cheap suit. You inspire me in a way the smaller girls don't, because you just go for it and work every INCH of it. Cheers, darling!
My grandma has this same tool it was given to her by her grandma and it was beautiful it also has a seperate attachable peice made of turtle shell but hers was a little smaller. Unfortunately the tool got lost only the turtle shell was left and she hid it in her cabinet cause its very important to our family history.
Excuse my lack of costume knowledge, but how is a crinolette different to crinoline? I really enjoyed watching this video, especially the getting ready part with all the layers!
Thank you! A crinolette is kind of the in between evolution from a crinoline to a bustle. First, you have the totally round crinoline (about 1855-1865ish), then the elliptical crinoline (about 1865-1869), then the crinolette (about 1870-1874), and then the bustle, which did overlap a little with the later years of the crinolette too. The crinolette helps to keep the rounded shape like a crinoline, but also gives the bustle shape, so it's kind of a hybrid.
I love watching your vids. As far as wigs & hair goes, I love doing pipe curls & the more closed type curls like on your hairpiece. Way back in the day we wore BIG hair! I learned to do them on perfectly straight human hair & hairpieces, at that age I knew it was one thing I excelled in & eyeliner designs lol. One thing I can't get used to in the historical hairstyles is the look from pomades, I just don't like it. You don't use as much as several others I follow do so it looks nice. You always look so polished in your finished looks.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions it's almost as if I walk the boardwalk there about 4-5 times a week. I was watching the video and had this moment of...wait, wait, wait, and then I rewatched. :-)
Another absolutely fantastic video! Might be my favourite one yet! I love seeing the hair and getting dressed. You look fantastic and the whole project turned out beautifully. Where did you get the hair for your hairpiece? I'm a redhead and find it really difficult to get braiding hair in a nice auburn, rather than fire engine red. Just a little note, there is some parts of the video where the music gets a bit loud to hear your voice over. It's fine for most points, but the parts where the music has a bit more gusto it gets a bit loud, especially with headphones.
Thank you! I buy my hair at the beauty supply stores that mostly cater to African American women. I find that they tend to have a lot of 27s and 30s, both shades of red whose colors really run the gamut, so you never really know what brand will match (esp since my hair always seems to be different shades of red). And thank you for the comment on the music - something must have happened in the exporting -- I'll see if it's something I'm able to fix.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions Hi! Large hair pins can be found online from Dancer websites - or like Margaret said look for Amish made. Amish Hair pins- www.lehmans.com/product/amish-made-stainless-steel-hair-pins-3-inch# Bunhead hair pins www.discountdance.com/dancewear/style_BH440.html Capezio - www.capezio.com/hairpins Bloch -us.blochworld.com/products/three-inch-hair-pin-pack-brown These can also be found on Amazon if you like to shop there.
Do you know if this was meant to harken back to older styles? The design on the sleeves really mimics the slash and puff from the Tudor Era, as does that ruffled chamisette. So pretty!
Love the choice of music! Question - it looked like you were using hair pins and not bobby pins. Hair pins are not closed and made of a bit lighter weight metal, while I could see your bobby pins I could not see if you had used hair pins to keep the curls together. Wow, cool, I like your wig pins, they’re just overgrown hair pins, and I could have certainly used them back in the 50’s!! I loved the style you came out up with and the color blended so nice with your own hair! With all that said, I can see why it was great if one could afford a maid back in the day!! Great outfit! Guess my period is not the large bustles, more smaller is more my style , but you look adorable! Great job
Thank you! I think I was only using the larger hair pins and wig pins, with all the smaller ones as bobby pins. I tend to have a hard time getting the smaller hair pins to work.
Thank you for your comment. I couldn’t see the smaller hairpins, only the larger ones. I got a real chuckle on your last sentence! I can hear my Mother yelling at me “you’re going to break your teeth doing that!” You see back in the 50’s we opened them real quick with our teeth! Just put the pin up to your top tooth and pull it open, easy easy. Now I did loose teeth too early, but it wasn’t from opening Bobby pins!
Thank you! I hate to say that I didn't use a pattern for the chemisette at all. It's just a few rectangles basically. I go into the construction in a bit more detail in the video where I talk about the making of the dress. I'll try to link that below, or I think it's in the description.
Have you tried Amish handmade hairpins. I know that they don’t come in a 4” size but I have fine hair and can secure it with 2 of these 3” pins. Amazon has a few 4” pins. Good Luck
I haven't tried those yet, but if I ever lose any of mine, I'm going to get some of those. I found out that mine are made/sold only in Europe, so shipping is really expensive.
Is there a video tutorial or any Videoes you can recomend for more 1874 dress making cause I don’t know what to search for and don’t know how to make one thank you 😊
You may be able to get the extra long (3 inch) wig pins at Amazon: Marilyn Faye's U Shaped Hair Pins --- set of 12, 3 inch pins for $8.00 Hope this helps! Great video --- Beautiful gown!!
Thank you! I lower the necklines. Especially with late 1890s-early 1900's stuff, when they got so high. I just can't do that because it makes me uncomfortable. You have to do what makes you feel good!
Yeah, finding an exact match is a real challenge. Sometimes you just kind of have to go with "close enough," and use a hat or hair decoration to hide the join between your hair and the hairpiece.
I can now understand why women didn’t do much work in those days because of all those layers, the corset doesn’t give you much room to move I am glad that we don’t have to dress like that anymore however those outfits were beautiful in there own right, and anyone who can sew like you can is amazing.
Thank you! Honestly, the corset is not very limiting. With this outfit, the most limiting thing is just the size of the skirts, and the fact that the bottom skirt is white, which makes me paranoid. Otherwise, I can still do almost everything in a corset that I could do in a modern bra. Though lacing your boots does become quite difficult!
Lovely,you look beautiful in your fully finished dress, but I'm sort of glad we don't have to dress like this everyday, but it would be nice to dress up sometimes.
Thank you! And this was back in February, so it was a lot cooler then. In fact, I remember being actually a little cold on my arms outside during our pictures.
Its never too late to learn a new skill. And blacks who could afford it indeed dressed like this at the time. It was simply the fashion of these times so of course everyone had a part of it....from the lowest of classes to the wealthy elites. Look up blacks in Victorian times.

So many layers! What a great final result; you look amazing 💖.
Thank you! The crazy thing is, I could easily have added 1-2 more petticoats too!

Rebecca! I love your make-up in this video, you look so fresh!
Wig pins at cosplay supply
I absolutely adored this, sooo many layers and they're all amazing
Thank you! I'm personally a hairpiece fan as opposed to wigs, but yeah, I can't imagine doing this all with my own hair!
Gorgeous! You know, I think this has a bit of an Elizabethan feel! Your hair is fabulous! What a lovely ensemble.
Holly cow, that's a lot of work getting ready. Thank you for sharing, very beautiful.
Thank you! And it's funny - if you think about it, the thing that takes most of the time is the hair! The getting dressed isn't actually too bad.
What a beautiful dress. You are so talented
Thank you!
Wow you doing those wigs was amazing!
Perfection! I’m so impressed!!
Thank you!

@@LadyRebeccaFashions It was, thank you!
i love that dress, thats a super lovely colour! and great job tying the corset, i'm never able to do it properly on my own back
Thank you! I'm sure you can do it with a bit of practice - just make sure you have your loops in the middle and it shouldn't be too bad.
Absolutely love this! That wig tool is amazing and I need this in my life now. :) So interesting to watch
Thank you! And yes - it is super handy to make nice, complicated looking styles!
What a gorgeous outfit! Very Empress Sissi!
Thank you!

What you call a wig pin i call a u pin maybe a different search term would help?
Which recording of the clarinet concerto is that, please?
I think it might be the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra?

I cannot find hair pieces in my hair color :(. Also I have very fine hair.
Yeah, finding an exact match is a real challenge. Sometimes you just kind of have to go with "close enough," and use a hat or hair decoration to hide the join between your hair and the hairpiece.
