    I love the 14 century dresses, it really was the beginning of tailoring. West Europe expressed luxury in tailoring, while the East did it through lavish embroidery on traditional zero waste clothes ❤❤❤

    The two dresses go together so well! Not only because of its cut, but also because of its colors. The colors are very beautiful! The long sleeves which hang down are elegant, good idea. The cap whith the long thing is curious. Well done!

    A thought for maybe a future video. When you read books set in this time period, they talk about the dressmakers coming and doing measurements, pinning, cutting, etc. for the upper class ladies. However, when it comes to TV shows or movies, it's basically just a bunch of fabric thrown around. Would it be possible to demonstrate how dressmakers from this time period came up with the designs and patterns for their benefactors, especially since it's not like they could go to the nearest sewing store and pick up the McCall or Simplicity pattern :)

    • @priorattire
      @priorattire  Год назад +13

      There were very few dressmakers per se- clothes were made by family mama Wes for most people. The clothes were simple, didn’t require a lot of measuring and you measure with a string where you tie knots to mark lengths. Then you draw the pattern you like ( still very geometric so easy).

    I think this period of clothing, with a slightly shorter skirt, is eminently more practical than what we women wear today. I love the adjustability for the waist and b00bs and the ability to be warmer or cooler by the different layering and headware possibilities. Wool is so much better for so many reasons than polyester, which is plastic made from petroleum! Oh Prior Attire, how I wish the fashionistas and designers would adopt this style, and then it would work its way down to us plebes!

    a little detail i really liked on game of thrones was the front lacing doublets a lot of the men wore. at one point we see an older sea captain in such a doublet, laced across his chest and sort of giving up across this gut, clearly because he had gained weight since acquiring the garment. it was just a neat little detail for the costumers to actively give him an undersized piece

    I made a kirtle based on Morgan Donner's drafting video and am surprised how comfortable and supportive it is.

    It very much seems that the 14th century was the height of utilitarian, functional, as opposed to decorative, clothing. I honestly don't think, from the 14th/15th century until the early 20th, you see clothing, especially female clothing, as plainly utilitarian...and, honestly, rather flattering. It's chaste, and yet, still shows off a figure, without the unnecessary ornamentation you see in late 15th to late 19th century clothing.
    Very well done!

      I wasn't saying that practical and simple clothing didn't exist...rather that the expectation of "fancy" was a lot more involved in, say, the 16th and 17th centuries than it was in the 14th.

      I can imagine that keeping hair covered also keeps it clean if you’re doing dirty work…especially around smoking fires.

      @@ruthspanos2532 Yeh, that makes sense. And washing your hair would have been a time-consuming process: water would need to be brought in and heated.
      So if your hair is uncovered, it's a show of how you don't need to do dirty work or travel through dirty streets. You show off your wealth by wearing a completely impractical fashion.

    The information and presentation is so good but...the background music can be quite frustrating. Sometimes it's quiet and then it gets very loud, so I find myself constantly adjusting the sound. No music or soft in the background would be good.

    Your videos are superb and very instructive, It may simply be the tech involved, but it is a pity that only three or four words get through your talking, as there is so much echo in each site you use. Maybe if you put more furniture in place, out of the way of the camera, to break the echoeing?

    I live in Arizona. You DIE in the summer in wool. When it gets to 112F + you don't want to wear wool. You might be able to wear it in early spring or late fall and on cold days in the winter, but that's it. Depends on what part of Arizona as well.

      Hopi, Navajo and Pima in that region wore wool for eons, but they did so seasonally and their clothing patterns reflected the need for both warmth and ventilation. They never adopted poplins and triggers until the US military showed up wanting treaty materials.

      @@RestingBitchface7 You do know that white man gave them the sheep right? And Navajo Churro sheep wool is very coarse is only good for making rugs and heavy coats? Think how pleasant it would be to wear an Army blanket next to your skin. Around here (and I live right next to an Apache reservation and used to live in Flagstaff) the Navajo woman even today were cotton and velvet tunics and tiered skirts, and men wear tunics and cloth leggings if they weren't wearing buckskin. Oh, and BTW, I'm part Native. Not enough to be in a tribe (too low of a blood quotient), but yeah. If you go to a Pow Wow, you will see less fancy styles, that is what they used to wear. You really don't know what you are talking about, so be quiet.

      Actually superfine wool is quite cool. I come from Australia, and from an area that gets quite cold in winter (subzero Celsius). We breed merino sheep to grow superfine merino wool.
      I have a superfine merino t-shirt that I wear in Australian summers. Although once the temperatures hit 37 degrees (that’s 100 degrees in the old money)I would probably swap it for bamboo, cotton or linen. However it is cooler than synthetic fibres.

      @@olive8742 Do you really think indigenous people called themselves "the United States of America"? The continent existed, but it didn't have a name until Columbus discovered it in 1492 (i.e. 15-th century). Only then the continent was called "America" in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer. The American continent was British colonies untill colonisers fought for independence and called themselves "the United States of America" only in 1776. So, the US didn't exist until 1776.
