- here we go again, hope it is better this time!
Another one in the series and another a bit experimental one as am grappling with the Premiere Pro software. This video has fought me tooth and claw every inch of the way!
What do you think of the narration and text options? that was the feedback we got from the previous in the series...
It is also a bit sentimental, but Italian renaissance has a special place in my heart - mostly because the fashion elements discussed here appear in my native Poland as well, in the 16th century, a costume heritage brought by Queen Bona Sforza! a truly fascinating historical figure:-)

I quite like the voiceover! It means I can look at your gorgeous work more closely and not worry about missing text.
Is the narrator Italian but learned English in Britain?
@@PurnceNMe She is Polish. She says so in the description below the video. Always try there, first.

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Love that you included the breast binding. Everytime someone says. "Oh no they didn't wear any support garment" I'm really annoyed. Women with smaller breasts maybe. I'm rather big busted myself and not having a support is unimaginable even in tight clothes. For practical reasons alone, as well as just cosmetic reasons.
I enjoyed the narration and larger video size very much! Please continue this format. I think my mother will now be able to watch, she has macular degeneration and could not read the script and see the smaller picture. Really just the narration and larger video size would be great for me. I will continue to watch regardless because I find it fascinating to see how people use to dress. You are an amazing seamstress. You, and your husband, are a great joy to watch.
I am comenting only to say THANK YOU. I am a History of Dress professor, and you can´t imagine how much your videos help my students when it comes to really understand clothing in its material dimension. You changed completely how they feel in my classes and I will always thank you for that.
Hi. I suscribe ti your channel i hope can learn alot.
Loved the narration and seeing some of your personality near the end! And the dress, of course.
How do you store your historical clothing? With all the many dressing videos I just imagine a huge wardrobe of the dresses hanging in order of time period 😅
Thank you for still having the writing along with the speaking. I don't like listening to narration so I love that I can just read the captions on the left while enjoying the video itself. I also love the little bit of silliness at the end!
Thank you for leaving the text in the video even if you are narrating it! English is not my first language an I find it easier to read than to listen, esp. when you are using words I don't know yet ❤
I like that you made the video bigger!
Thank you so much for making the video larger! It's so much better to watch ♥️
Fun fact in Italy we still use the word camicia for a shirt usually a men's shirt while a woman's would be called blusa (blouse)
When I saw this had been re-uploaded, my first thoughts were that "those of a delicate constiution" had made YT force you to remove the last shot! But no, just an improvement in the video quality :-)
Thank you for making the video so much larger and easier to the eyes.
Definitely better, this one.. Since the dress is the main subject its always better to have the footage larger or up close at least. Thanks so much and for taking viewers' feedbacks. Cheers from Borneo!
I think it's really thoughtful and sweet as to how you take people's feedback into account for your videos!
I always liked the medieval Italian and Italian renaissance style more due to the pretty hair braiding and styles that weren't too extreme like the northern European looks.
I loved to hear how the garment sounds when you move, it gave the garment kinda more dimension or something!
Now you have enlarged the picture to your usual, crisp standard we can see that Red/Green silk in all it’s sumptuous glory. I really love these garments they are so cleverly constructed and look amazing on you. Those fabrics must have been amazing to work with. I am fascinated by how quickly costume takes you back to the original period - and then you start doing batman! 😂😂😂😂😂 There’s just no hope 😉🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the glimpse into another world - I’m self isolating on my own due to health conditions so any relief from the sheer tedium is most welcome. it’s so lovely to have a glimpse back in time - and back to the normality again of sitting with a lovely cup of tea and a Hobnob watching you do your wonderful thing.
You may not realise but you are providing a valuable social service to people like me who can’t get out - at all - and need a little uplift and reminder that there are beautiful things in this world and amazing people who carry on regardless (and of course keep calm) and make them real for the rest of us to enjoy.
Thank you and take care of you, Lucas and yours ✌🏻❤️🏴🌹🌹🌹🇬🇧
Is it possible that those women shown in unsecured sheer veils in contemporary paintings only wore them when they were setting for their portraits, and used some kind of fastening when they were being active? ;-D
Absolutely! Youd need security to go out and about!
Love the narration. Added so much personality to the video. 🙂
I laughed out loud when you whisper-yelled, “BATMAN!” Only the best historical Batman!
I do enjoy when you narrate your little videos. The witticism comes to life and I feel as if I have a sister from another country.
KateandZena there is city name Batman in Turkey. Imagine they asked where are you from and you are from Batman😀
Much, much better! The video was a nice size this time. The narration is quite tinny-sounding so you might want to look into a better microphone. Or perhaps adjust the settings in your audio capture program.
Yes, this is much better! Now the video part is actually large enough to see.
Much better! Thank you for the re-upload and listening to your viewers! ♥️
Also, the Oracle has wonderful taste. The Jade beads really accentuate the dress and gown so much better than the Amber did. 😍
Thank you so much for listening and fixing the ratio! The dress is so beautiful :)
I really like how the green necklace contrasts with the red dress!
Honestly I am SO glad that you changed to this setup! Yeey! Narration and text is ideal for me since my nearing is not that well and since English isn't my first language and reading, well, I was too slow and had to pause every time the text changed.. but I thought I will not complain ( I think I lie now, I might've done it a few times I believe 🤔 ) because this is the way the channel is and I loved it nevertheless.. because.. just look what you made over the years!!! 💖
But I am totally happy with the way it goes now! I know (I read in the description box, it is a struggle and a half... and I'm sorry for that.. ) but I love the way it is changed to.. 👌
And then the garment... Beautiful! And now I understand what those puffy pieces on the sleeves are! The chemise! NEVER saw that coming! 😲😁
And again you make me chuckle when you did the Batman move, lol!
And who doesn't twirl or even tries to resist the temptation to twirl in all the gowns that you made and make 🤗💖😎
I love this! Thank you for the reupload.
I really liked the voice over of the video it made it easier for me to see the parts you were talking about.
Thank you for all of your lovely videos
Thank you for another great video! As an "armchair historian" the details of clothing are so often not even considered by historians. Your videos help bring these time periods to life for me. As a person who sews much of her own wardrobe, I cannot imagine the amount of research, skill and time that goes into these ensembles. I've actually just ordered your first book, but don't think myself clever enough by a quarter to sew the outfits you sew. I do want to start sidesaddle lessons this summer.....so, maybe a riding habit? I appriciated the end where we could hear the beautiful "swish" of the silk as you walked. Sending much admiration and awe at your skill from America.
This looks waaaaaaay more comfortable than the French and English dresses from the 18th and 19th Centuries!
I love how expressive you are with these demonstrations, you're a riot with the faces and reactions! 😂😂
That batman exit was so funny! 😂
I love the 15th century Italian Renaissance gown! Years ago, in the mid 1990s, I sewed a gown like that for myself to wear to Medieval Dance classes. I used to be a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. My dress was a lovely emerald green, and my sleeves were lined with a lovely deep pink silk. I still have the gown, but, alas, I am too fat to wear it, now. I loved the cloak thingy that you wore over your dress! You are a very good seamstress! Thanks for sharing this! Stay safe, and stay home! Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly! ~Janet in Canada P. S. We are all in this together!
“I’m Batman!” Immediately to “how dare you breathe in my direction, peasant!” Lol
Thank you! I really wanted to watch this but the picture in the previous upload was to small for me to see. So much respect for listening to your fans and adjusting the video. Have a great day!
What always fascinates me about these historic outfits is how little time it actually took to get from undressed to out the door, even for only one person doing the dressing. Yeah, it's more time-consuming than now, but the looks of some of the ensembles made me think it would take two people at least half an hour to get the look together. But that wasn't the case. Nobody had time for over-complicated dressing, no matter what the era.
COOL! Whenever I see Italian Renaissance clothing, I can't help but think of Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. I see many similarities between this look and some of the costumes in the film, particularly the high-waisted silhouette.
I love the voiceovers, they free my eyes to really pay attention to which piece goes where!xD
Ever since the “500 years of medieval fashion” video, I’ve been waiting for a late 15th century video because those headdresses looked absolutely fascinating!
Thank you so much for sharing all the fashion history that you do. Through your videos I have found so many other people who also share their sewing of historical clothing. Its been amazing. Why it even lead me to Townsend and Son's 18th century re-enactors and cooking. You and all these other people who share history with we viewers help enlarge our world. Thanks!
Beautiful, as always. Thank you so much.
I just found your channel and I love it! It is very interesting to see in a real person what the dresses of those times looked like. I didn’t know that they included many pieces. Very interesting, also impresses me a lot to know that you sew them too! Wow, good job!
Batman! that was superb. I always enjoy your videos
You're adorable (and very informative)! Thanks for the vid. Im considering this now for my local renfest.
Your videos are always both interesting & so educational Izabella, thank you! The point you made here about slashing providing air circulation in hot Italian weather is one I'd truly never heard before - other sources always seemed to just dismiss it as fashion. Intriguing to see how open the gamurra remains even after lacing (with quite a gap at the bottom of the lacing placket) so that'd no doubt provide additional ventilation too? Fascinating!
No, just me getting fat!
@@priorattire 😂 All too many of us can relate!! (I loooove sewing skirts that combine an elastic waistband with their hook+eye closure - you still get some shape, but they're way more forgiving of lunches, periods, & generally getting-middle-aged! 😝)
I like the Batman comment. Actually, you could be a new breed of superhero, Pope Girl!
This outfit reminds me of the costumes used for Romeo andJuliet directed by Franco Zeffirelli.
... I love your work bringing dress styles from the past with class, beauty and a fine lifestyle, you are unique!!!
Beautifully done as always. The costume is amazing. Will you be doing more Florentine lady looks? The Italian renaissance costume are one of my favourite eras 2nd to the victorian eras.
Why don't we dress like this anymore? Seriously, these dresses are gorgeous!
i know right ...
Most people didn't dress like that even back then.
We like polyester and spandex now. :(
Barbara K speak for yourself
Lovely! "suitable for a warmer climate..." NOT Houston TX in the summer! OH, that's right! Houston summer weather is not "warmer" it is outright SWELTERING!
I lived in East Texas for 13 years and I can agree its to dame hot.

Outfit looks both gorgeous and comfortable! 😍
Didn't upper class ladies have maids? If so, kirtles would be done up at the back for a neater appearance esp when wearing a gown or cloak with it. That gap beneath the lacing is just asking for 'trouble'.
lacing up the front was a very intentional fashion choice, in that time, especially with the more open lacing featured on this gown. but lower class or primarily day gowns would have had the lacing start from the very bottom of that gap, to close it completely - at least, that's how it's done in the styles of the mid-1400s, which I assume would still apply at this point in time. this day gown was probably made with the intention to wear it with an overgown, and the lacing style follows that. however! i'm not priorattire or a published historian, merely a sca reenactor, so take my words with some salt
I came here after watching "Arte" an anime about woman artist in early 16th century in florence. This video helps me so much about understanding the dressing culture then. Thank you!
I love your channel and I love watching your model historical clothing!
I have been watching "Magnificent Century" a Turkish drama set in the first half of the 16th century. I have read that the women's costumes are too European and not accurate. Do we have any good records of the kinds of clothing women in the harem (the mothers of the Princes and the daughters of the Sultan) wore during the Ottoman Empire?
Mary-Patricia Foy I am Turkish and did watch that drama. I agree with people it’s kind a too European but it’s drama and I am sure mostly for viewers that made for. I also think it might accurate since Sultans harem mostly from Europe . Those girls bring the palace when they are very young age.
Love the voice over!!! I love watching these videos it's amazing how fashion as changed over the years!
This was fascinating! Interesting how there are still elements from much earlier "medieval" fashion in evidence (I'm thinking from 1100 - 1200?), just cleverly updated to suit the times and climate, as in the Giornea and the veiling.
What a great "day-to-night" look! Very elegant and beautiful. It looks rather comfortable too! Fun video and Ioved the narration!
Being as I'm vision impaired, I get a lot more out of your videos now that you narrate
I'am Batman...LOL...Loved that!
How do you make the curls stay put ...ugh ...My hair is a nightmare...fine and silky lifeless ,but long to my waist red/blond ..and refuses to hold a curl...and if it's raining ....forget it...not worth the loosing battle..I mostly wear it braided...And I refuse to cut it..
if I remember correctly, she says the same thing about her hair, and just uses curled hairpieces.
@@kitty-pm2md Thanks hun....I am kind of new here...Well at least I know I am not alone in the hair war...lol
I remember my Great Grandmother with her long hair ..She wore it in a bun..always nice and perfect..
@@racheallange2056 well, welcome then! all the women in my family had short hair as they were working women. my English great grandmother worked in the Lancashire mines as a child. I personally shave my head -- tuberculosis chic in historical fashions! the other side of my family is not from Europe, and here, women grew their hair out and then periodically shaved it off, and the hair, coated in beeswax, would be used for sewing and other craft work.
back before perms and electric hair tools, working women who could not afford hairpieces used metal rods heated on the fire (or later, the stove) and applied to the hair. much more damaging to the strands, but much more effective than modern tools. the curls were usually sprayed with some sort of solution (sugar dissolved in water is the most common, I think), wrapped on the rod, and then wrapped in papers or scraps of fabric until the curl cooled and set. hair would be maintained in these curls for sometime by wrapping or braiding at night.
have you tried curling your hair with non heat methods, like rollers/pin curls from damp hair? I have curly hair, but it's very unruly curls, so that's what I used to do!
@@kitty-pm2md Bless your great grandmother ..I am from Kentucky ,but I live in Bavaria,Germany now...I know that is a hell of a hard job..I am a rockhound ...I have a high respect for anyone who is a miner .No matter what they mine for ...I would guess it was a
coal mine she worked in...
I am a mix my great great grand mother was half Cherokee and she is not the only one.. Cherokee blood runs on both my mother's and my dad's side of the family I also have European blood...Just today I told my husband ..who is Bavarian...I have European blood,but I think like a Cherokee..I may look more European ...But he knew that ..He knows me all to well..
I know how to pin curl ..I saw a vid on sock curls I may try that they can't be far from rag curls ..lol ..I do braid my hair for some body ...
@@racheallange2056 I have actually been to Bavaria! I lived in Germany for a few months in 2015, with a friend who was doing their PhD in Gottingen, Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). We travelled to Rothenberg for a week with their university. I loved Germany, but wheelchairs and cobblestones do not mix, and I don't speak German, so I was glad to come home when I finally did! I spent the whole time there in the countryside -- never visited Berlin or Frankfurt!
I love your humor while showing this interesting kostuming. ^^ awesome vid!!
The gamurra and giornea are stunning!! The only think I am not sure of is the hair net. In the paintings from the 1480/90, hair nets never pop up. It's more of a 1500s thing. The usual hairstyle sported in paintings were torchons or braided hair taped with silk ribbons and then the veil. The portrait of lady Tornabuoni shown at the beginning clearly shows the hairstyle without the veil
Beautiful video as always, and I think it is really good idea to put both subtitles and voiceover :)
And I cannot resist to ask: are You from Poland?
Great channel. Great video. Splendid humor. Very enjoyable.
I lost it at „I am Batman“ 👍🏻😂
I would love to see a real time video of you putting on a dress at your natural speed instead of slowed for a tutorial! 🥰🥰🥰
It is nice to hear your voice, and let's one enjoy looking at the clothes instead of reading. Thank you for sharing your talents.
It would be great if you did a guide on how to do the breast binding!
PLEASE KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMING!!! You're added slice of humor, make them even more enjoyable! 😊
And the hair, I love the netting, so pretty. You look like a princess.
Thank you for another beautiful video ❤️ I love when you explain extra historical info on each piece, please do keep educating me!
Serious question: How did the larger ladies of the period deal with the dreaded "Chub Rub". does any one have any information on that?
I love to wear historical fashions (granted this is not my era) but I generally wear knee or mid thigh leggings under. Is there a historical cure for this?
Not sure about the historical solution, but for many historical fashions involving long gowns and hose, I'm sure you could get away with wearing the right pair of tights. You could even 'cheat' by wearing the garter bands below the knee - that way even if the skirt rides up a bit no one will be the wiser.
As a fellow larger lady I will leave aside for the moment the argument that being large is a fairly modern phenomenon (obviously balderdash, we just didn't make it into the paintings until Reuben). In a lot of her other styles, from around the 1600s you can see "split drawers" by a multitude of names - essentially knee length linen shorts with a split at the unmentionables for bathroom purposes and some ties at the knee to stop riding up. I'm sure that even before these were common undergarments (and i'm not sure when that is) they were a practical solution not only for this problem but for the draughts of more northern european castles.
there is evidence of drawers from around this period, especially in italy! so you could try out some linen drawers! I'm seriously considering making a few pairs of weird drawers-tap pants hybrid in nice light linen to wear under my every day dresses lol
that being said, if the knee length leggings work for you, there's no inherent need to change them. taking care of your health (a category under which avoiding chub rub definitely falls) is important!
@@Blue_Caribou It's not balderdash, lol, we have clothes from this period as well as records of measurements taken by dressmakers and cloth merchants. It is a fact the preponderance of very fat people is a modern phenomenon. Split drawers weren't invented to deal with chub rub but that being said, I bet they'd be good for it.
Thank you for the video!
That batman scene made me laugh out loud on my chair!! Most hilarious one! Loved this whimsical plot twist in your storytelling, also should be perfect for a tiktok or a GIF :D
That's some fancy Batman 😂
Your work is amazing as always. Thank you for inspiring me and for all that hard work! ❤❤❤
Not a Batman at all, but a very fetching Batwoman!
I'm from Brazil, it's too hot in here to wear these clothes. It's so sad!
(sorry for my English)
I love these videos. And you look wonderful in whatever time you place yourself in ;) your talent shines through in every beautiful made dress!
Absolutely stunning, I think this is one of my most favourite outfits you have shown on this channel. I enjoy every upload!
"Batman" 🤣😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻 Excelente !!
Those are the kind of sleeves I had on my Renaissance Faire costume. Except there were buttons fastening up the sides and it had the same long ribbons at the shoulder but with rolled pads as well
Batman 😂
I love that you’re doing the voiceovers!
see what bothers me about these videos is like, the chemises are so loose and unfitted and the corsets and kirtles are so fitted that i can just,, feel all that excess fabric bunching up and it lowkey makes my skin crawl
Nope they feel fine
You haven't worn them then. They feel like nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@elirchi9214 k
Miss, you deserve an award! The outfit was amazing, and the Batman comment at the end topped it all off with a bang!
Thank you so much!
Oh thank you!! I had such a hard time seeing the last one that I didn’t get to finish it 😭 this is wonderful!
Looks so beautiful!! I'm so glad I was born in the 20th century! (Too much hassle in the olden days!) ;)
Wow I was absolutely not expecting to laugh this much at a historical fashion video, this is amazing. Subscribed at ‘allegedly’ 😂
watching this while making face masks for me and my family, then hopefully making some to donate. coronavirus lockdown has really gotten me interested again in sewing/costume-making after nearly a decade since I last did any sewing! i'm hoping to eventually, in the far-off future, create my own 18th-century costume, and youre videos have been so fascinating and informative! thank you so much, and keep up the good work!
Perfectly done as usual. You teach us so much. Thank you
Is there no evidence of the veil being anchored in place by pins, as seen in other eras and regions?
OH NO the face you made when the cuff wouldnt button xD precious!
I've been hoping for more videos of styles earlier than the 18th century!! Yay!!
If they wore veils wouldn't they probably attach it to their head somehow with pins or something?
my goodness imagine how many women lost their veils as soon as a light breeze came their way
They probably all used pins.
Glad to watch it again. I love the sound the fabric made when you were walking in the glorious outfit at the (almost) end of the video.
I agree with the oracle husband. Jeje. The green jade pendant was my choice too.
I can't even imagine, how much work and silk are in those?? so may long seams from the ground to the shoulders and hems for the voluminous skirts! How many yards went into this, how expensive?? I kinda wanna make something similar but probably not silk.
Kentario
I’m sure Izabela is quite aware: She made it!
But yes, all that weaving and stitching at the time, wow! Clothes were quite incredibly expensive before the industrial revolution, and I think I can see why.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious that this was for the upper classes only, perhaps even depended on the class division being of a certain size.
I just looked into ordering some silk to make a full slip and the total cost was like $100 before shipping and not including lace and other notions AND excluding labor. Even this reproduction must have cost hundreds JUST in materials. And that's with modern machine woven silk!
There is something satisfying in the swishing of ur skirts...only someone that dresses like this would know lol
One of the most beautiful gowns
I’m so glad this is a thing. As a half Florentine I am obsessed with this era and Florence😍🥰
I love this look but I hate the camicia. All that waded up fabric under my clothes. It makes me feel like a stuffed animal. And when I take it off I have all these weird wrinkles. Yuck.
That's your voice! Wonderful😃 I really like your vlogs
