I am that kind of person who would love to wear this casually, like walking with the dog wearing a 16th century dress
Nuria Geijsel same here. i love this style of clothing.
Nuria Geijsel why can't we? Besides the fact it would cost us an arm and a leg to have the funds to purchase the materials to make the dresses. I would love to dress like this every day
Sidney Fox it would be worth it
Same! 😂
Come to nyc you very well might see that 😂
I wanna wear Tudor dresses 24/7 and not be judged
Laurel Salter-Dimma The biggest of moods
I agree... Would be awesome!
agree
Same
While we cannot guarantee 24/7, would you consider joining the SCA, attending Renaissance fairs or even Comic-Cons (when they resume)?
Whenever I saw pictures of women wearing these dresses I always thought they were one solid dress and figured they must have been complex to put on. Now I see that they were layered and put on in sections leading up to the appearance of a beautiful complex dress.
So I click on these videos because the thumbnails are interesting, and I am a history fanatic! But then I see the next video on some Victorian dresses, so I click on that one! Then it turns into a cycle of clicking on videos to see how people dressed up in the past... This turns into a couple of hours of just sitting and staring with the most focus in my life, but my eyes strain. Anyways love your videos keep it up!
Same! I'm supposed to be asleep by now! haha Dangerously addicting...
This era have the most beautiful and classy gowns, especially the French fashion.
Not I now why Anne Boleyn loved French fashion, these gowns looks gorgeous with the Spanish farthingale. Your outfit is gorgeous as well, especially with the gable hood ❤
hey can gen-z help bring back this style of dress cause it's so BEAUTIFUL and elegant i would LOOOOOOOVE to just walk aroundin gowns like this on the reg
IKR! Bring back classic history! It would be so cool!
I can't believe that your clothing (with fewer means than a TV production) is much better and more accurate than clothing in some TV historical series...
Historical movies and series are aimed at entertainment above all else. With that in mind it’s pretty impressive that some did as well as they did.

This is so cute the personality you showed in showing this. I wish things like this were shown in schools as part of history. It makes it so memorable. Lovely execution.
you mean like making history actually interesting? nah let's keep it boring.
A very talented lady and I love your sense of humour. Very much enjoying this series, thank you.
Thank you for the in depth details of period dressing. I love the attention given to every piece and placement of the garments. I love to make costumes, period pieces are my favorite to make. Seeing how they are put together helps me tremendously.
I honestly think many women must have pricked themselves while dressing with all the pins that were used in attaching garments together.
I feel even though the clothes of times long ago seem quite exhausting to put on, I guess they were definately kinder to a persons figure, because they gave pretty much anyone a nice silhouette, even without restricting corsets, depending on the time.
I think when you look at European clothes, they must have been dressing for warmth. There are so many layers.
Of course it depends on what period in history, but actually a lot of women said that corsets were comfortable and helped their backs
The open pins of old English and French dresses will never cease to worry me. o_o
No kidding!
if you look back - the part she pinned was pinned to her kirtle - the pin itself doesnt touch her skin - well except for the cuffs & i have to agree there! i would just wear a chemise with cuffs to get around that problem lol
Thank you SO MUCH for these videos. I've run out of period drama to watch, and I've realized that half the reason I watch those is to ogle the period costumes. These are so educational, interesting, and informative! LOOOVE these videos!
I just found you! I am obsessed with the Tudors especially Anne Boleyn. Thank you!
Your obaessed too? My personal fave is Elizabeth and Elizabeth England!
This was delightful. I’m a sucker for Tudor gowns.
I've watched all of your videos over the past year, and it amazes me every time that not all of the outfits are simply a dress on top. I never thought the looks were a skirt of some sort with a top! I've always thought they were one piece!
I've seen several of your videos and they're all beautiful and educational. I had no idea that women wore so many layers over the corset to look so thick in the end after all the pressure... I feel so lucky to wear leggings and loose jumpers.
I remember dressing like a Tudor Queen when I was 8 and took a school trip to a small Tudor village. It's ever do full having someone else dress you up 😃
wow! So many layers. Thanks so much for your videos. They are quite educational. With so many clothing pieces it seems like a lot of opportunities for a wardrobe malfunction. After seeing these videos I can really see what a ladies maid was so important! To clean and keep track of all of those items and help you put it on and off. Imagine packing for a trip!
Love the gable hood, such an attractive shape. You look beautiful, your outfit is simply amazing! Very talented seamstress. Well done, Madame! A real treat to see! I would love to have such beautiful things..thank you for sharing it.
These are some of my favorite types of videos, my favorite type of movies and shows are these eras! I just love the costumes!! Can't wait to see more!!
Beautiful! Let's go back to that style!
the kirtle mishap makes me wonder about the women all those years ago who may have had the same laugh about the same situation :)
I love the French hoods, the fabric in the back looks like hair
I wish my entire room was decorated in that purple and gold fabric. I would die to get my hands on a bolt.
These are soo cool!! just watching it gives me a small taste of what it was like back in those days
Thank you for this. I am creating two sets of Tudor outfits, because I can't decide which color teal or royal purple. 😅Both colors I picked as fabrics match beautifully with my bright copper hair. Anyways this video has helped with the layering of clothing I need to make to make the whole outfit as genuine as possible. Thank you so much again for this.
Nice! I love Catherine of Aragon she is one of my favorite historic figures.❤
I love all the little flourishes you do after items go on, great sense of humour, and makes me want to try these kinds of outfits!
add a high collar and a crown, and it would actually make a pretty neat Evil Queen costume.
Black+ purple does the trick
The clothing on this channel is always beautiful with great instruction on how to put on the layered outfits....but you sense of humor is why I keep watching....totally hilarious.
Catherine of Aragon is my favourite historic person ever and I really love all those clothes. It's fantastic, thank you!
Thank you for your videos. They really helped me nail down what time period the story I'm writing is in. 1360-90s. Thank you!
i've been looking for ways to lace a gown for the longest time.
everyone and their mother has told me that front lacing gowns weren't a thing back then especially in the court dresses.
you SHATTERED ALL OF THIS BY SHOWING THAT THE DRESS COULD BE LACED IN THE FRONT WITH THE PLACARD
i thank you so much
and i'm in love with the idea of not wearing the farthingale. i hate that thing i wore one once and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever. there was too much space between my body and the dress and it drove me insane.
thank you so much :D
I love how there was comedy in this most routine and getting dressed vids are very serious but I absolutely loved this
I can't imagine just pinning my clothes in place. I'd feel like my whole outfit would fall apart without warning!
once pinned properly, it stays in all day!
I love the French hood. I sometimes wish our modern clothing was fancier, like these gowns are.
Your videos simply amaze me!! As a child I had so many questions regarding clothing as I watched, and still do, a lot of period dramas. You have unlocked all the secrets, thank you!!!
Great videos. I majored in British History and loved social history. I believe that understanding the clothing styles and social history makes the pol
itical history more understandable.
This makes me grateful for the ease of contemporary dressing. Good video!
These videos are a delight to watch, I would have adored to watch them when I was still at school, this kind of thing was so interesting to me back then!
That gown is gorgeous!! I’m making a dress inspired by Anne Boleyn so this is very helpful!
I read a book based on Bloody Mary's childhood, and apparently a freckle at the base of the throat makes you a witch. I should probably figure out how to make my furniture serve me.
Fabulous! I think the gable hood is what we most associate with Catherine of Aragon from the paintings we have. Loving your videos! XXX
Actually there are several images of her in a french hood too!
Cripes!!! The dresses are beautiful, but I am so glad I don't have to put on a hundred layers to get ready in the morning!
Women today spend way more time putting on layers of makeup.
I'm so happy I found this channel. I love it!
not sure how i landed on your channel, but i must say you are wonderful and I like learning about how people dress in different time periods.
I studied fashion for a brief time and it is interesting... The idea that the more fabric you wore the more important you were... And today - the less fabric the better... Great video and - I think I would have had more fun dressed like a boy - than like a "lady"...
What a falafel lol, Tudor one of my favourite era’s for dress,but golly gosh!Couldn’t get up to much mischief wearing all that,just stand around like a statue looking elegant.Forgot your shoes!😁😍✌️
I think I might get a heatstroke from all that fabric if I were to wear it here in this tropical weather. I really love your videos. I didn't know much about early fashions in the west and it amazed me. Lovely dresses and detail explanations. Thank you.
Tropical weather? Where? May I come?
I have just binged watch so many of these videos! I love them! Well done!
I'm having a little mini marathon of your videos and they are so fascinating. And, the clothes truly shouldn't even be called clothes because they are really works of art. Obviously, a lot of time has gone into these gowns as far as physically making them, but the amount of research that must have been done also is amazing. You're work is truly amazing!
I'd someday go to Italy dressed like this and twirl in the mountains.
Wonderful video! I've always been fascinated by clothing from the Tudor period.
You have to marvel at the wonder of the zipper!
AMAZING. I just watched a video on how Henry VIII got dressed so it was great to see the female counterpart of Tudor attire. Thanks for sharing
I have worn Tudor court dresses and undergarments for years as part of SCA and as a Cast member of Scarborough Renaissance Faire..I made my own reproduction ( not costume) clothing and truly loved the elegance and grace. However, warmer weather was always a challenge as this clothing was not originally designed for the conditions of current summer temperatures in Texas.
of course not - people living in texas in 16th century wore somehow different clothing. English summer however, it all works just fine
From the 14th to the 19th century there was a "mini ice age" on Earth, meaning planetary temperatures where much lower. We didn't have snow all over the northern hemisphere all year, but the climate was definitely cooler, so these people dealt with colder summers and spring. Plus, the fabrics they used were always natural. These fabrics tend to be way cooler. Even today, in hot tropical places, the locals always recommend you to wear natural fabrics for the same reason.
WOW! I love the Tudor lady styles. Those separate sleeves with the beads and other decorations were great! I like the way you left in the part where you got lost in your kirtle! LOL! It made me laugh,and realize that even anyone can get stuck in their clothes! : ) I love watching your videos! Keep them coming! ~Janet in Canada
Again, another glorious view into period costume, and very funny! I cant get enough of the Prior attire posts.
LOL, I was laughing with you when you tried to get that navy blue heavy under garment on,, you gals are so much fun,,
I love these Tudor clothes. So beautiful. Kind of a lot of work though.
so very well done , thank you for posting and keeping history alive !
That wiggle at the end, I died!!
Me too!
Beautiful! I so enjoy watching your videos, and listening to the music. Thank you for what you do!
Really beautiful music and video!👌 . Thank you for share! Liked! Have a pleasant time 😀
Just found your channel and I'm Absolutely fascinated by the history of clothing .Will definitely be watching your vids for more .
Beautiful. Very informative. Though I doubt any of my grandmothers going back to this time period would have dressed like this. Our family was dirt poor.
i love your videos, the music you use, and your sense of humor. thanks!
Love these videos. Many questions are answered, and you really get an appreciation for history. Thank you for educating us!
Love this! Just got done watching documentary on Queen Jane who reigned for 9 days. Seeing the layers helps to see what they went through then.
Thanks for these. Loved the 'stuck' bit! Fascinating, but so cumbersome!! X
Very cool video, all the layers make me thankful that my fair is Medieval, so I don't have to deal with them in the heat! I adore all of the dresses, and you look like you would be a fantastic Cathrine of Aragon!
I am portraying Catherine regularly at Peterborough Cathedral, where she is buried. have been doing so for the last 6 year i think!
I'm using your videos as part of my research on a Tudor novel I'm writing.
This gown and headdress are gorgeous! 💖🌷💍💎
I agree!
Omg thats a beautiful dress! You look lovely.
I love this!
I do have a comment about the jewels around the neckline. From what we know, jewels weren’t sewn to the gown directly but to velvet tapes called billaments which were in turn then sewn to either the neckline of the gown or, more commonly, the kirtle. The same billaments could also be sewn to the hood and even draped around the waistline, as in the famous 1546 portrait of the young Lady Elizabeth, the future Queen.
I suspect it was simply easier to sew jewels to cloth tape than to have someone sewing and “unsewing” jewels directly onto large, unwieldy items of clothing, but it also made it easier to wear the same jewels with different gowns.
depended on how many billiments you had! if you could afford it, you could sew jewels directly on the items of clothing, and remove oy for clean. if you had just one set, then it was asily emovable and swapped between the gowns/ headdresses
Man, it would be cool to be reincarnated as a 16th century English tailor for the aristocracy I think. These are all so beautiful, and I imagine it's very satisfying to create outfits like this and see them in action.
I wonder how expensive and difficult a hobby to have this is? Making outfits like this for my gf would be too much fun I think, whether she's into it or not lol. But looks like OP here has an enormous amount of skill, talent and knowledge and not just anybody could produce such amazing work. Just think - if priorattires could convert these outfits into their relative worth from the era, she'd be enormously wealthy - no? Not that I can really tell, but these look like top of the line stuff, and I'm sure her collection would be worth a small fortune in the 16th century, and her skills sought after by nobility across the land.
Historical seamstress here! Its a VERY expensive hobby, but so satisfying! I'm working on a dress like this on my channel soon, and it is so gratifying to have a beautiful gown!
I like the history of the clothes,what men and women wear during the centuries, l think dresses in the XV to the XIX,the beginning of XX century are beautiful to wear
i don't think i would go out much in those times lol. the thought of putting all that on just to do anything would make me say forget it!
Just amazing! What a beautiful gown, that fabric is stunning.
The jumping you do tickles me especially in the video set in the 1800's. Guess it's pretty helpful for getting the fabric where you want it to go.
I watch videos like this and then start to question myself on if I could last longer than an hour in this many layers... And if I could last longer than five minutes without tripping.
You’re so sweet....that hopping thing you do! Love your videos and your sense of humour, great fun to watch 💜
Imagine people from back then seeing how little we wear in comparison now
2012endofanerror our lives are much more hectic and sped up. I think we started dropping clothes as we spent less and less time getting dressed.
Ok, that blue or black? kirtle is amazing. It’s a beautiful dress all by itself. It’s absolutely gorgeous
And the gown and kirtle could be left unlaced during pregnancy.
I read that the French hood was considered racy at the time bc you could see a woman's hair better. That Anne B. frequently wore them (though at her execution she wore the traditional English gable). She was able to walk the fine line of being flirty and yet demure
Most noble ladies would have had a couple of attendants or more to help them dress, wouldn't they? They would have been very skilled at getting the lady dressed rather quickly, I would think.
Thankful for my t-shirt and jeans.
I never realized that the forsleeves were separate in some gowns!
i always wanted to experience wearing something like that
the green one at the beginning was beautiful
You should honestly change these video title names to "Getting ready with me: Tudor edition"
I love your videos! Please keep uploading!
and they say women nowadays take long to get ready... Awesome video, beautiful gown :)
I can definitely see the advantage of all those layers during the fall, winter and early spring since the castles and estates were drafty and lacked any central heating. But, I can’t fathom how they managed during the spring and summer. There must be lighter versions of these clothes or they would have suffocated. No wonder women got the reputation for being fragile creatures who were always fainting. It was heat stroke!
Remember that England was much colder in the 16th century. They were going through a mini ice age, so these layers made sense even in warmer weather!
Men in this period wore head coverings and layers of clothing as well (legs were exposed but still covered) and they didn't have a reputation for being weak and fainting, a reputation that largely comes from the Victorians, who invented "fainting couches". Other reasons for fainting include dehydration, (restrictive Victorian corsets necessitated drinking as few fluids as possible, and low blood sugar, which can come from missing a meal. For the Victorians, fasting was necessary in order to lace a corset tightly. A final reason for the "fainting" reputation might be connected to the fact that some women had heavy periods which created iron deficiencies and pain.
The nobility would wear fine silk layers during the summers (which were colder than today in northern Europe) and the middle class could wear silk under layers, with a top layer of fine wool or linen, or linsey-woolsy (due to sumptuary laws that defined what you could wear). The layers would also have an insulating effect, keeping the worst of the heat away from the body.
there must have been a lot of accidents with all the pins they used
Gosh the gown is so beautiful !
I'm making a miniature outfit inspired by this one for a challenge-of-the-month thing. July is Sleeves, and I just loved the long fur cuffs and the fancy foresleeves!
I love the clothing upto Tudor Era after that I hate all exaggeration came into France and Italy and followed by England in Elizabethian era.
