• 16th Century How To
This video has been a really emotional one for me to go back and edit. I started this project 2 years ago when I was offered to join the SCA Order of the Laurel based on my research into fashion history, specifically the 16th century in Europe. Its interesting to look back now and see how much my skills are still growing since I started this project. My elevation took place in that strange pandemic reopening time, and ended up being sent out virtually while I was in person with the Crown for the ceremony.
The emotions got even more layered with this project when I went to film reveal footage of it. It was packed into the car so I could change at the event I was going to and film/ photograph the reveal footage for you all, and fell to break my leg less than 5 minutes after it was packed.
Fast forward to fall of 2023, I've lost most of the weight I put on with this injury and I'm ready to take some photos in the dress and finally show you all my dream dress made in silk jacquard. To one up my past self, the location and situations for filming and shooting my missing reveal footage for you all was way more challenging that the original plan I had that never came through. If you are curious about why I am wearing 6th century shoes, it was a safety thing. I brought my heels with me, but the footing at the location we went to did not make me feel safe to wear them. Last thing i needed was to fall an break my other leg in the mountains.
A few thank-you's on this project:
Hannah and Rob for getting me to start the dress, and helping me document its completion.
Tatiana for helping me to understand fitting these garments better and making me the beautiful Zimmara worn over it in a few of the reveal shots.
Bri , Iago, Eric, and Helena for being sounding boards on the process of getting the thing done.
Eza, Jennifer, Jerusha, Maria, and Asta for working on accessories that went with this dress.
Mom and my brothers for driving so far to see the crazy thing in person.
And all of you for your support and thoughtful questions over the years.

Tell me about your own dream dress!
With that amount of scraps, you could make matching turn shoes.
I've been debating making covered chopines
Yes, I would like to see a get ready video of you putting on this dress. 48:34 Also any other video you want to make. You looked stunning in the dress. Congratulations on your elevation.
Jackie, you've been here since the beginning. I will totally do one for you
@@MaridithSmith thank you!😊
my dream dress project is currently Buttercup's red dress from Princess Bride...i have plans to attempt it later next year!
That sounds like an awesome dream project. You can do it!
Glad to have found you! Always happy to support other SCA peeps.
Same here. Thank you for watching!
@@MaridithSmith if you know anyone who is interested in herbal remedies or crystals, please consider recommending my channel to them.
I’m going to get back to producing videos in the next few months. Had to take a break to study for my national Natiropath exam. Passed that! Yay! Now just catching up before o can get back to creating videos. I’m going to try to cater the herbal videos a bit more to SCA when I start back up.
Love the videos your making and soon I’ll have the time to hinder watch. :-)
So glad your leg has healed. We're you able to eventually have your elevation ceremony?
I was thankfully. In a park and live streamed for our kingdom
