I love all your videos, but the ones featuring the Middle Ages or even just historical periods before 17th century are my favorites. 😍😍
Not all fur was real fur even back then, there is ways of weaving bear fur, wolf fur, spotted fur and stripe fur, this fake fur was still made in 1920-, my great-grandmother used to make it, she was really good , it made of wool and it doesn't age well but looks stunning for few years. I think there is only one example of her bear fur left in museum.
wait really? wow that is such a cool thing to know
I am also skeptical of a claim of leopard skin only based on an historic image
I'd love to see that done.
Wow, that makes a lot of sense. Especially considering when things become fashionable there’s often a higher demand.
Love seeing my country’s historical fashion! All your videos are really good ☺️
Will there be a menswear version? 😅
I propose to use kanekalon hair for braiding to recreate hairdo from tapestry. It's pretty cheap, lots of dark colors, will hold its shape and volume beautifully. Since it's not a wig, can be sewn to hood directly.
I believe not all braids, especially very elaborate ones were real back on the day. I've seen two braid formers owned by my granny that was made of short pieces of real hair attached to a string, kind of like extensions today, but vertically instead of horizontally. When braided this short hair got hidden inside the braid. This was made from scraps left from cutting hair. Only downside of it was weight, it was really heavy. Kanekalon is much lighter, fluffier, so I think it will be better choice. You can also permanently curl kanekalon by putting it boiling water to conceal the ends if needed.
Those colors are fantastic on you: absolutely lovely.
Lovely garment as always.
Those sleeves are beautiful.
Thank you for pursuing your wonderfully unique interests. You are bringing everyone a wonderful historical document of how we have all dressed. I hope you enjoy it as much as all of us! Just wonderful!
Well done!!
What a wonderful video
I applaud the sewing skills required to make such a beautiful outfit and your research skill is also commendable. One can see why ladies required maids to help them dress - it is fortunate that your videographer has such a talent. Lovely video once again! 👏👏🥰 - Patricia, Florida, USA
If you are "hunting with a hawk" ... you probably stick to open spaces and since it is "flemish style" there arent going to be that many forests around.
I love the big sleeves on the chemise. 😁 Beautiful clothes. I wish I could purchase them. Maybe one day, if I win lottery, and I am quite serious about it. It is expensive to have a proper replica clothing custom made. I can see why. Great job! I wish I had your sewing skills myself. I absolutely love all your historical clothing. I would love to wear it and feel like a princess... 😁🤓 🕊️🌹🕊️
I agree I have issues with my hands so I can't sew. If I had the money I'd have period clothing made, but in the meantime I can still enjoy these videos
Absolutely beautiful❤
I'm myself german and always wondered how the gowns for example on the cranach paintings are constructed. I would really enjoy such a video of you.
As usual a very informative and interesting video. I wish I was 50 years younger may both do some of this. One of the things I'd enjoyed the most is how much fun you seem to have doing all of it.
I am 48- costuming is for all ages!
@@priorattire I'm 80 and can't do the things I once was able to. No complaints. Just explaining why I wish I could see well enough to thread a needle. Bless you.
Something i always wonder: I live in a colder winter climate and key to staying warm is keeping my neck covered; but i notice on many historical dresses, the shoulders and neck are relatively uncovered until the outwear is put on, or things like scarves or fichu or shawl. I am curious why the neck covering wasn't more intrinsic to the main garment _ i know there has to be a good reason!
It wasn't particularly necessary. There are portraits with coverings on the neck, but because the linning was made of warm materials like wool or fur and many many layers, most women were warm enough. What she wore in the vid would be more appropriate to the summer or spring, which still had quite a few layers. In winter velvet was more common for fabric instead of say silk, and it would also be lined with wool or fur. Hope this helped 😀
So pretty! I've never seen a French hood like that, but it makes sense given the earlier hood styles... Also, your kirtle and gown textiles are stunning!
The ways of life get more fascinating to me the further in the past, maybe because we know less and less about them. More mysterious. Love what you do, thank you.
Im so excited to hear you are doing an equestrian book. Your comment about those sleeves and branches made me smile, they'd be a complete nightmare.
Wow, the red underdress was already very smoothing and snug, but then you also added that luxurious outer layer on top. So fancy! I like the contrast of the loose, puffy sleeves against the neatly wrapped torso and stiffly flowing skirt.
Beautiful!!! I'm flemish and it's so interesting to see the historical fashion of my region ❤️
My spooky gelding would not be well pleased by all the fabric! But we are working on it! The side saddle would also be problematic. I would lovebto dress up and ride though.
Sounds like your "ladies maid" is a gentleman!😁❤❤❤ How scandalous!😂❤❤❤❤❤
In that time you could get help from a maid, sister, mother or in this case, the husband!
Those Flemish maids did have quite deep voices.
How did it feel riding? I'm really fascinated by that hair/headdress in the unicorn tapestry. How would one get it up like that?
Pretty sure you start by growing (or fakeing) at least hip length hair. Better mid-thigh.
Such an interesting video, as always. Thank you for making them.
I have a hard time finding thing from the Germanic medieval times garment wise. but damn what I did find was gorgeous,.
I love your videos, and your work, your knowledge and your talent ! And special thumbs up for your maid/husband/photographer/videographer/carrier/guardian angel who stays in the shadows !
You just brought history to life for me! For some reason, I was in the mindset of seeing you and the horse hundreds of years ago. It really humanized it for me (if that's a word?). Thank you for your attention to detail. I look forward to seeing your hairs (or wig) wrapped around the headdress in the painting!😊
I'm guessing if they had a maid, they would have put the oversleeves on after the top gown, and then laced them onto the kirtle. That way you're not trying to squeeze those sleeves through the overgown, nor do you have the same issues with getting into the kirtle.
I’m amazed at the amount of fabric- heavy fabric - that women would have to carry on their bodies!
Today where I am it's around freezing with lots of wind making it colder -- I'd love to wear an outfit like that outside! Especially the nice snug cap to keep my ears warm, but really the whole outfit.
It looks so warm, with how the thick outer layer wraps around
Love the movement in the kirtle and gown. Laughed out loud at "bint"!
Do you have any videos on 1540s style? I recently started doing some digging into my ancestry and found a relative born in the 1530s if you can believe it! So I'm very curious about the world he may have seen when he was young. It's especially shocking I found this man at all considering they only started taking records of common people in the 1530s in England, although I'm not sure on that fact.
Yes, published a few years ago
@@priorattire Thank you! I will look for it tomorrow :)
I always love the different equestrian looks that you make, hopefully you'll put out a video on the riding habits from the 1840s to 50s. :D
Absolutely stunning. Thank you.
This is such an underrepresented era and you nailed it👐
You looked wonderful Isabella, but you would look wonderful in a sack.
True.
very elegant ❤
Another excellent video. Thank you kindly!
I love your channel, immensely.
The dress - and you - look amazing on the horse!
Loved this video: it featured an earlier style gown from outside the UK. As much as I like all your videos, this combination is perfect for me.
Absolutely amazing again Izabella. I always love to watch your videos, because I do learn every time !!
Longtime subscriber here. Izabela, you never cease to amaze and amuse. You are truly "ageless." ❤
Another awesome video! The riding gloves really finish the look :)
I love historical Dutch fashion during the 16th century and you have demonstrated very beautifully on how they have worn their clothing. I have a question for you, what is your favourite type of horse breed?
Any that serves their funtion well! I mostly ride TB, cobs, ID and IDxTB, but rode Pre and shires etc. depends what you want to do on a horse I suppose
If you ever decide to study the German styles of that time or a little earlier, it would be interesting to see the analysis of the costume and headdress, from the engraving by Albrecht Durer "The Lady riding and the Landsknecht"
She did actually! It's in the Equestrian dressmaker book! Highly HIGHLY recommend buying it. I love my copy so much
Spring started last wednesday here ... at least according to the birds, which were chirping and singing with a lot of intensity.
the video was filmed in the first week of january...
The prepanty era of women's fashion is so much more interesting
You should definitely get a maid to help you get dressed!
Cannot afford one - and to be honest I don’t like being served so much rather get by on my own with Galo from family and fiends
Friends. Not fiends :-))
@@priorattire fiendish friends 👍
Stunning!
A bit surprised that there is no petticoat under the kirtle. Wouldn't that make things more comfortable?
No need- and separate petticoats are just slowly starting. To creep in, usually partially bodiced too. Wont make the slightest difference to the comfort
Very chic and feminine for its time.
I love this! Now I must make one!
A video about horse tack and accessories deepening on the era would be so cool. Loved seeing the outfit used while riding 🥰
Thanks. I'm interested in what the Germanic people wore in ren times. I like the Italian style dresses of that era!
It's very interesting. Thank you!
WHERE did you get the saddle? I had to zoom forward to see it. It's incredible! I wish more movies and programs could attempt to be a bit more accurate.
See the credits…
One of my favorite styles of the renaissance!❤
How lovely! The gown is amazing.
Fantastic video as always!
I#am deeply sorry but:
I don't understand most of the fashion of the 16th century. don't know why, but mostky I just dislike it.
I love many historic fashion periods, but not that Century.
Чудове відео, але було б набагато естетичніше, якби вам допомагала умовна покоївка.
Woudl you like to sponsor one for me?
Incredible clothes, and loved the side saddle! I was waiting for the jacket, seems like the sleeves a little exposed, for winter anyway?
These videos remind us of how to style, and just not the "old" days!
Thanks! I think you need to listen a bit more attentively, I addressed the sleeve issue- not winter clothing…
@@priorattire I stand corrected! x
What a beautiful dress! And I love the French hood. Please forgive me but is there a record of what the lower classes wore day to day during this time period? Thank you for making these lovely clothes and videos!
Plenty. Check my other videos
@@priorattire Thank you so much!
First!!
When no nylon fabric what material was made of the stockings?
Wool, linen, or silk
There was a knitting machine made in the 16th c, I think...
It's a pain in the butt to construct, but you can use woven fabric that has been cut on the bias
Nylon did not exist in the 16th century. Nylon is a synthetic was was invented in the 1930s!
The "hook and eye" or "crochet and loop" fastening has been a thing since around the 14th century for men, yet women were still having to use pins for clothes?? 🙄
Just more convenient for adjusting sizes. 18th century garments are also often closed with pins…
