      @@TheCoutureCourtesan It's great until it's 100 years later, and you're trying to figure out how the damn dress was worn on a mannequin cause you can't tell the front from the back, and wait what is this strap for and why is there a hook there omg how did I get stuck inside the dress and why is there still a gaping hole over here?!?😂 jk...kinda...😂

    "Every historical wardrobe should start with accurate undergarments." So true! I just did a mens Victorian video and had to have the undergarments. The Edwardian era is one of my favorites too. Great video!

    daywear from this is era is such a rare thing to see recreated when it's still so elegant and honestly would make such a great intro for people dipping their toes into historical dress. Especially those beautiful dresses. I'd 100% wear these.

      This is why I'm looking into the 1910s for making my first historical-ish garments. I like the late 1890s and early 1900s but the silhouettes are intimidating and the lengths are too long as I prefer below the knee and shin length.

    So very beautiful. It brought me back to my early, early childhood when my grandmother would get dressed in just those undergarments befor putting on 50's styles! LOL She was just stuck in her time period, but it worked! She was always ramrod straight and smooth.

    I still have little metal snaps on their original cardboard cards from the turn of that century. Being born (1971) to an older Mom (b. 1934) who was the child of really old Parents (b. 1874/1889). It intrigues me to see their daily dress style "come to live" in such informative videos. Showing your 😍beautiful creations. Truly love this👌🏻.

      Just like me. I was born in 1971, my mother was born in 1928 and my grandmother was born in 1888. I love this era of clothing. When I was young I liked Victorian and my mother never understood why I liked ‘old fashioned’ stuff!

      @@AntelJM oh my, your dear Mother was even older, then mine, when she gave birth to you. I totally understand why we both like "by gone times". Was your Mother the last/youngest in a longer line of siblings? (My Mom was the first & only child of my Grandmother and 5th child for my Grandfather - who had been widowed twice before. Never got to know my Grandparents). Is your Mother still around to share your interest & hobbies and are you able to listen to stories from her youth and her Parent's earlier life?

      I don't have the patience for sewing, but I would try at least once (with a historically-accurate hand crank or foot peddle sewing machine and hand sewing-thanks Bernadette Banner). I would love a historically accurate wardrobe of different time periods to help me get in the mod for writing each day, and of course, all the research it would provide! Samantha looks gorgeous in the Tudor and 1910s and '20s looks! I'm currently in a Tudor era phase and have binge-watched all her videos.

Old I am now 72 yr. old She was quite a lady she was a milliner She made hats She was always dressed up in a dress , hair earrings and all. She was a high society lady from Nebraska I miss her still😍

We have some pictures of women's work dresses, skirts, blouses and aprons but it would be so neat to see a video that we could show volunteers of what a farm woman would wear. The big pockets in the aprons, mostly from what we see are the dark skirts and light colored blouses. Do you have an suggestions? We do have all of the catalogues.
