Hello, I'm Kathy in NE Oklahoma. I have been sewing for about 60 years and love all these videos. I learn something new every time. Can't wait to try something.
Yessss, thank you for spreading the knowledge of these truly bonkers headdresses! It is on my list of future projects for sure. I can't imagine what working women must have thought, watching the wealthy walk around in these quivering towers of starch!
You're so welcome, I'm THRILLED someone else shares my enthusiasm for these things! 🤩😁 They must have had some pretty good chuckles. I know I would've 🤣
Stunning! I need to make one now and yes please post a video of the hairdo! I’m thinking it’s a crown of braided hair, supplemented with a large donut of hair, with ribbon woven through it to really anchor it into place. Easy when they all had maids and dressers to handle the mounting. How did you do it solo?
I think the working class women probably thought they looked like complete idiots. Same for the men with their enormous periwigs. But you didn't dare laugh at your betters.
OH MY GOD NOW I WANT TO DO THAT SO MUCH. (Although I'm more of a Frank than a Magenta in style preferences...) Phew. Sorry for the capslock. But it was merited! 🤣😍
I love crazy, over the top eccentricly gorgeous things! and this beautiful piece is up my alley! I am for sure going to make one of these in the future possibly a variety. and thank you for the links the 30 yards of cotton lace for just 13$ is a super awesome deal for my sewing budget. I'm definitely going to take advantage of that price offer. the lace looked very lovely and i love that it's a small size and would be perfect when i do my miniature costume project pierces or tiny cute details
Fellow future fontange maker, whoohoo!! Glad the link was useful! I was surprised, actually, at how many cotton lace options were available over there. It's definitely handy for a lot of things!
Definitely yes for the hair do video! But I also want one for the weird cinderella‘s step sister hair do, I love that one 💖 you know what I mean right? 😅
@@FantasticalFolliesCostuming yes! I read it in a comment on insta under a pic of yours and I thought it was so fitting 😂 I‘m not good in remembering dates but that stuck 😁
I absolutely LOVE it!! Thank you so much! I always hated those things until I actually got into reading 17th history, now I think they're great (if still weird). Your Marie Angelique silent was fabulous though poor Marie Angelique didn't stay in favor with Louis for long. The Roi soon put her in a convent and she died not long after. 🥰 ❤ 💚
Whooo! I had an inkling you would ;) LOL yeah, they are totally weird, but like the 1830's, that's part of the charm for me. I'm glad you liked the silent bit, I had a lot of fun with that 🤐 Her story is actually kind of sad :( I'm glad that at least she has a legacy.
I’ve seen some depictions of this sort of cap having ties that you wrap around your head. The tension keeps it up. Prior attire has a video with that soft of construction.
Hehe, I love how ridiculous this is. And how ridiculous you are about it. More people need to be silly, I think it would improve life for everyone if more people took themselves less seriously. I giggled the whole time too.
I AGREE 🤣 Honestly, I used to censor myself a little because I was afraid people would click off if I was too "weird," but it makes filming (and editing!) these videos so much more fun...I'm glad you enjoy it 🧡
I am wondering something… (I am neither a history nor a hair expert) but my first thought was - I wonder if there were two hats/layers of fabric?? 🤔 Like this - attach mad hat thingy, pile some or all of the hair on top to secure (with pins etc), then add another plain (unfanned) hat/piece of fabric on top of that? And pretty up that for show, hiding the ‘foundation’ underneath? Do you see what I mean? You are such fun! 😊 And fun is so very, very important. 🤡Thank you for all you share. 🙏🫶💝
Thank you for your kind words, and for watching! As far as your question goes, all the extant examples and primary sources I've found have described it as one piece. That being said, it's not a bad idea 🤷♀️
these are totally ridiculous😂. I can see the whole church analogy, and it kind of looks like the pope's hat (yeah, I have no clue what that's called). but from the pictures at the beginning, I thought it looked more like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! well, that's another bit of knowledge in my noggin, that I'm never likely to need again😂😂😂
I mean, there were definitely some points where this thing WAS the Leaning Tower of Pisa! 🤣 And yay for more useless knowledge!! That's the only kind I have! 😁
I love the idea of historical hairstyles, especially ones that aren't the usual 18-19th c stuff. This video gave me so many giggles - thank you!
Great, noted!! Thanks for your feedback! And yay, I'm glad 🙃 Had one or two giggles myself while making it!

If Rocky Horror was more baroque-ish rather than victorian-ish, this would be part of Magenta costume

Absolutely justified!

LOL!!! You're the second one who's said something along those lines 🤣 But noted. 1680's AND 1830's hair tutorials, check!

Nice Fontange. You should also check the Breton headdresses, some of them are really, really tall.
Thank you! And I will--I've never heard of those, but I'm always eager to explore some new (and weird!) historical accessories! Thanks for the tip!
Love early 18th century portuguese fashion, and these are really pretty.
Thank you!
Truly a work of art. I learned something new, I laughed and was gifted with joy. 💜💜💜
Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I had a great time making it!

Thanks, I'll check it out!
Please do the actual hair style. I would really love seeing it. And great funny video!
Thanks, noted!! 👍
loving the wackyness as always
Whoohoo! Thanks for watching. This was a fun one to do 😁

Thank you! And that's so cool you can trace your family back so far! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching 😊

@@FantasticalFolliesCostuming Ah, one piece! 👍😄 I hear ya! Just a thought then about the multiple parts. 🤷🏼♀️😁 Thank you for the fun. 😊💝XXX
