This is SUCH a niche thing, but I really appreciate that you use vaguely period-appropriate background music for these costuming videos. I'm a music historian and it always distracts me a bit when creators put, say, Baroque music over their 19th-century costume videos lol. I know I'm literally the only one who notices this but it's still refreshing when someone does it right!
Believe me, you are NOT the only one that notices.
I agree about the music. Another creator had music on for later 1800,s and she was making 1950, clothing it really messed my brain up lol.
But not everyone knows every thing. Maybe she should have got a( B+) effort to try .
I love the compilations! Great to watch while i crochet or knit
I wonder how many poorly sewn chamises were made by women who weren't skilled at sewing. I'm confident that not every women of yore was sewing with finesse, quality fabrics, or careful, beautiful stitches - any 'shortcuts' you are taking are probably still historically accurate and your sewing is actually done well!
I recently rewatched this whole series, but would it stop me from watching it again? Nope 😂 I love those compilations, they're perfect for knitting.
Same😂😂😂
My idea exactly!
I'm a huge fan of these compilation videos! They're the perfect thing to put on at the end of the day when I just want to knit and wind down before bed. I hope you're doing well and I'm sending lots of good vibes from across the pond!
Have I watched all the videos separately? Am I going to watch this entire compilation in one sitting? Also yes 😆
Thanks for your support!
The long compilation is wonderful to get everything in proper order! Everything looks amazing even the last minute dress!
Re the "shitty chemise": i wonder if it wouldn't have been quicker to just wing it based on a historical pattern as you have enough knowledge on construction.
This is so great to work on the dress that is dragging out forever for me. It feels so close to being done but not and more problems are key arising. Sigh at this point I just want it finished. Then I can start something new. I know if I stop I won't start on it again. So finish it I must.
Just sat down for a long day of weaving and this popped up - yay! Love the long videos for project days 🤓
I really love all your compilations, they are excellent for knitting/crochet time or as background for playing my silly farming sims.
OMG, i love how you demonstrated all the same problems I have for mine too! I am so short waisted, that I need a totally different corset- I am also in the place of trying to make my own as well! Thankyou!
I'm such a big fan of the comp videos, they always give me a push to keep working on my own projects! Hope that you are having a good Easter, Claude. :D
Your chemise making is inspirational - this is how sewing actually happens
It’s lovely to see all the Prior Attire Victorian ball / event videos together. I couldn’t wait for this series since I realised you were at the ball. ❤
I'm loving the compilation videos! ❤
So glad you're enjoying them!
Hey Claudia thank you for this compilation I have enjoyed watching it! Isn’t undertaking any historical sewing project about creating an illusion and you have created a lovely illusion of this period dress here! Well done ❤️
didnt have any experience when the video first came out in standalone form but as someone who also has an s scoliosis (probably not as severe from what i can remember of my xrays) ive been working on nonshaping support corsets for (nonhistorical) costumes and it made my back feel like it didnt have to do all the work. i also dont use a mobility aid (aside a crutch i got off mom after she broke her ankle for when my hypermobility syndrome limbs dont wanna try enough)
i can understand how following historical precedents might give me a different experience but i guess it all really depends on how big of angles you have and all that. things are just weird like that lmao.
I really love, in all your videos, listening to you talk to yourself -- it's what my husband and I both do as we're working! :-) Also, I seriously appreciate your talking through what's good-better-best for the corset, and I totally agree that it is NOT lazy -- it's prioritzing where you want to put your time.
I saw all the individual videos when they came out and I am ABSOLUTELY also watching this compilation 😂
I love your quilted corset! I have Celiac Disease and my abdomen can bloat making tight fitting clothing extremely uncomfortable. I've decided to make a quilted long line bra like the upper part of your corset. I'm very short waisted, too. To get the hip spring, my going to make hip padding attached to a petticoat that ties on so I can adjust for my bloating. A fabric lobster cage bustle might do for over the hips and across the back. Having a two piece corset-y arrangement might be more comfortable for you, too. Love the knitted emotional support duck and chicken!!! Sending a big hug!
I think some people forget that certain conditions make corset wearing difficult if not painful. There are anecdotes regarding people who couldn't wear corsets for various reasons. My scoliosis is mild and I ca make adjustments to account for that, but not everyone can. Ignore the idiots who can't grasp the fact that people sometimes simply can not wear corsetry comfortably.
Thank you for all your hard work. I hope your day is as happy as I feel when I see you've released a new video.
Everything from the sh1tty chemise (TM) to the banging ballgown ❤❤❤❤
Once again I enjoyed the long compilation :) I made lots of stitching progress!
"That's bollocks" earned my sub hahaha.
Looks like you were feeling much better when you made this, glad for that. Why not use an old chemese?

these compilations are incredible for tedious tasks like washing the dishes
A couple of corset thoughts for the future:
The longline 1910s corsets didn't have their busks (and bones) extend all the way down to the hem of the corset, and instead had big hooks and eyes at the lower front/unsupported eyelets at the back (backstitches or flossing at the bottom of the bones to hold them in place). Could something like this help with making the corset more wheelchair friendly? You could also "lace" the unsupported eyelets with 1/4" elastic so that section can flare out when you sit then draw itself back in when you stand.
I personally experience almost immediate pain when I have straight steels at the back, which doesn't happen if there's plastic boning there, something about the plastic curving to match the curve of my back? The lacing gap doesn't bow out to create a () or )( shape with the 10mm plastic boning that I use, so it must be fine structurally.
I also had a thought about riding corsets, maybe it would work as well? They were made to be sat in them so it kinda makes sense, but idk if it would work in wheelchair. Your idea is probably smarter 😊 I wonder what people with scoliosis back then did, they couldn't be in pain for their whole life, they had to work around it, especially working women (and I'm saying working women as the richer working ones. Not the poorer, because I know for sure that in my family no one would wear corset or anything like that, no one would be willing to spend money on it, they were all too poor, just to be honest). Maybe they just said fuck it and didn't wear corsets? But then also skirts were heavy, so they had to wear something.. Oh to be able to travel through time and ask people what are they wearing and why.. And scoliosis isn't a new thing, I know it's in my family for generations, apparently my Granny's grandma complained about her spine hurting and her spine was shaped weirdly like ours as Granny remembers, and her grandma was born in 1885.
Valeu!
Thank you so much 😊
there is an ad for a button front corset on Wikipedia, it depicts an entire family wearing them from child to adult could you give that a shot for a more wheelchair friendly corset maybe quilted only with cords in stead of bones or elastic panels?
I still cut with scissors. It’s just how my mother taught me and what I’m comfortable with. I can always picture going around a corner with a rotary cutter and chopping off my fingers!
That chemise looks nice. And comfortable.
Simplicity patterns have a bad reputation for a reason. I avoid their patterns like they have the plague.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis between my shoulder blades, and bone spurs on my neck and spine. That being said, I've made corsets and stays and pair-of-bodies. Wearing these undergarments aren't always comfortable. I wear them under my historically accurate outfits when I can but don't when I'm in a pain flare, outfit shape be damned. Do what's best for you. And your corset doesn't look bad, it really doesn't.
SWEETY DONT LET ANYONE ANYTHING STRESS YOU. SERIOUSLY NO ONE IS JUDGING YOU BUT YOU. And if anyone says anything bad r mean block them. Good people night suggest a better way when this happens that bell rings in your gead im not good enough and sweety thats just not true. We are our own worst enemy your work is awesome. But theres always someone more exp but that dont mean your is not good. I see so many creators sewist doing the same thing. So put big girlpants on and have a great day. Sweety you do so much helping others that means more then a pot of gold . As time goes on u will only get better but u will still think neg.

good sense has an ad for an bicycle corset that can be used as an everyday corset(biking work tennis and everyday so claims there ad) with elastic straps for sides. maybe that would be one to try. It sounds like that's what the 'invalid' women were wearing along with the knitted corset. cuase there were wheel chair users and even more fragile women in the 19th century they had to have solutions for this. my guess it might have been a 'good sense'. Edit: I used the phrase invalid because that was the term they used at the time not in reference to you specifically or anything.
😊
This might be a stupid question but have you tried contacting Bernadette Banner? She also has scoliosis, has been wearing medical corsets for half of her life and also has struggled with historic corsets. Maybe she could give you some inspiration for making them more comfortable for you personally.
And I don't think she does mind others winging it a bit more than she does. The historic accuracy she follows is just how she does it. 😉
