Hi! I'm Maria, a historical costumer and sewist with a passion for recreating historical silhouettes. My main focus is the 18th century to Edwardian fashion and most of my content is from those eras. I have some professional training in modern clothing construction but most of my skills are from a lifetime of sewing, knitting and other crafts. I started historical costuming in 2019 and have been ever since deep diving especially into 18th century construction and technique. Most of what I do I try to stay faithful to historic technique but I do occasionally make things faster but I try my best to always do my homework and keep it a conscious decision when I deviate from historical accuracy.
Deadly Victorian fashion lets talk about it
In this video, I break down deadly Victorian fashion trends and go through how dangerous they actually were.
I talk about arsenic green used to dye fabric for both clothing and upholstery and in wallpaper and about how deadly was it.
I talk about uranium glass used both in jewelry and in dishware, how to recognize it and how dangerous is it.
I talk about hoops skirts catching fire and how big of a problem it actually was.
And lastly I discuss the deadly corset. I talk about how the myth of the corset being dangerous came about and why.
my video on the history of the corset:

I like the middle outfit. It’s actually my favourite of the three ❤️💖🌸
Where is your sweater from? And if you made it, is there a pattern? I don't know what that style is called with the color block near the neckline. Love it!
Spectacular!!! Please Maria, make some more 1930s, it looks stunning on you!!
Love the video. Very informative. 😊
but I've seen antique newspaper articles and references of kids and even whole families who died back then in green rooms .. fireplaces heating the nearby wallpaper and putting particles in the air ( maybe it had been damp in the house before the fire was started .. who knows )
Since I read historical manhwa in webtoon, I started to learn about British history, including about the social classes. Then I found your video, it helps me a lot! Anyway, I love your explanation, thank you🤍
Cheer~~~a stiffened or hooped petticoat worn to make a long skirt stand out.(beautiful)😊
Parece los sombreros que hacía mi abuela materna, la señora hasta se parece a ella vestida así, aunque ella ya usó los ve todos un poco más cortos.
Move over lead paint! Arsenic wallpaper is the new (old) trend! As fun and beautiful as radium tipped watch hand dials! Not deadly to the end user, just those pesky under paid people handling it in the factory. On the subject of arsenic wallpaper and not doing well with water I wonder how well they did for scrubbing the wallpaper as it got suet covered from fire place and candle smoke.. and let’s not forget the gentlemen of the house having a smoke as well. edited to correct element, thank you sewthroughtime
That's radium though not uranium 😏
@@sewthroughtime pfft your right.. close (but really not), fixed post
Just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the biggest risk of toxins in clothing and household items really was borne by the people who worked on the manufacturing side of things! I feel like sometimes that gets lost when myth-busting because the focus is so often placed squarely on the risk to the consumer.
Love your videos. I'm an amateur "historian." It's a hobby with me.
love your videos!!
At one time in my life, I had a HUGE hat collection! I had a beautiful 1920s Cloche Hat. It was a Bright Green in color. Every time I wore it, I got a headache. If I perspired a little, I would have a trace of the green on my forehead... So I stopped wearing it. I finally asked a friend who was an old Milliner, why I had a headache after wearing it? That's when he explained to me about the green dyes that were used in fabrics and hats! 😮 I now watch out for antique hats and clothing that are green in color... Great Vid.. 😊
Oh no! I love 20s clouches but I have such a big noggin +the hair that antiques never fit me 🤣
I always love your videos - I also enjoy reading about the practical history behind fashion design as it applies to everyday life - I think one point that you really presented well is that people in the past weren’t stupid - they had common sense just like ordinary people do today - 💖
Glad you enjoy them 😊
That’s so pretty… Can you do a video on selecting vintage clothing: how to know your size/where to source
I love wearing knitted skirts in winter and I didnt know ladies used to wear these as inner petticoat over their actual skirts (so many skirts!!)! No wonder why they were able to stay super toasty under their skirts!
Omg you would have to prepare for your cycle weeks ahead 😮😢
Not really once you've made em you'd just wash them after use and dry and they are ready to go the next time you need em 😊
Beautiful colours!
subbed from youtube search recommend by finding your video using the search term "history of heels"! <3
I do not want to go back to the Middle Ages at all I am a woman, but I don't like skirts at all🤦♀️🙏 Your video is very beautiful, don't be tired❤👏
WOW this was so informative and everything you said makes so much sense. It all makes sense why people wore things the way they did in the past. In modern clothing wearing practices, we skipped many and we arent really caring and wearing the clothing the way we should be. Thank you so much. I learned a lot and this is super helpful life knowledge.
very informative
so pretty! so floofy!
Interesting question
Выглядит очень просто, но так красиво, сочетание цветов восторг
So very useful! What fabric(s) did you use? You only corded the gussets? No where else? Where do you start the gussets...with the point at the root or below, and are squared off gussets (rather than points) useful for those of us with a big difference between underbust and bust measurements? Thanks for this video 🙂
I have a nearly 10" difference between my bust and underbust, the gussets themselves are slightly squared off but the opening isn't so it's just so that the cording reaches the bottom. The gussets need to start exactly at the root otherwise they are not going to lift you as far as you physically can go and then you risk nip slips in your dresses 😝 And no other cording since these don't come lower, the later 1820s and 30s has it to give that waist definition 😊
The fabric was just a random piece of cotton twill I had
@@sewthroughtime Brilliant! I, too, have a small back and 9" difference, and though I have many extra years and pounds on you, it's great to see that this very practical type of corset works for someone with similar proportions 🥳
And thanks for the tip about pinning the centre of the dress (one of your other videos) That alone is going to save me a ton of grief
I’ve gotten into slow fashion and I want to nalbind hiking socks that will last me 5 years or more.
Its like an old timey spiderman dress! I love it! Its really gorgeous 😍💖
I love the French twist too
This is great. I’m tanning a large beaver hide and wanting to make a muff with it. Once that is done I’m definitely using your guide as a new sewer.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Beautiful ❤
Love the dress so much, so feminine yet you can move and work in it
Wonderful, thank you.
And they worn no underwear.
I love this video and have been inspired to try this for myself. Do you know how heavy your final cage crinoline is? I have a feeling the sewer tape I found is much too thick and heavy, and I might need to look for other options. Thanks so much!
It's fairly heavy but since you are wearing a corset that carries it it doesn't really matter 🤷
Knitting with ONE big needle lolol
Why is this color of stockings? Should it be silk or similar?
Absolutely gorgeous!
Oh, the gathered drapery from the shoulder to the front and back is gorgeous! And the buttons! Really benefits from the shoulder pad as a base for them, too.
Happy new year. Looking forward to your posts 2025. Cheers
Omg 😮 you look so cool, as a young designer I love the structure of the 40s ❤ very flattering and powerful, greetings from Argentina 🥰
What a stunner!
The silhouette of that dress is very flattering on you. And I'm sure you'll find an opportunity to shine in it.
Stunning dress!
How are you telling us history and then telling us that you had no idea that the Advent calendar had religious context? Kill the advent theme.
These colors though! Beautiful and you look fantastic in them.
Shoes and stockings before corset. I learned that the hard way. 😂
I've never done that since I don't wear shoes on my hardwood floors unless filming and have zero issues with putting on my shoes last 🤷
We need knitted petticoats back. What a clever idea. I wouldn’t mind a muff that’s between the large and small. You look beautiful.
That sweater is stunning!
