- When you're staying home, why not dress however you want? History bounding is practice of including historical clothing, or influences in your every day wardrobe. If ever there was a time to be creative with your clothing, it's now.

Something that I love is wearing more historically inspired footwear and skirts and then incorporating a bit of a modern twist with the other portions of the outfit
Im obsessed with the cycling sweater and I want one! I think puffy sleeves are coming back in style. Check out some Russian designers that are really bringing those back. Only issue with those is layering! Its hard to wear puffy sleeves with a coat since the massive amounts of fabric get stuck.
I really disliked the sleeves until just now. in blouses I still do not like them but after seeing this sweater I deeply desire one . . . damn
let's bring hats back! let's bring those huge, ridiculous ones back 🤩
I'm on board!!! Let's do it!
na, I would vote for bringing the practical ones back. I am half blind when there is sunshine and I despise sunglasses. Socialy acceptablility would be great ^^
I'm already wearing hats every day, we need much better hats!
For the second part: I would love to see you mix and match your lovely history bounding pieces with totally modern clothes! 😊
Oooo!
The orange fabric makes me think...britches!
I'm not sure if that is the correct name for them but definitely I can visualize poufy leg top trousers 🙂
Also, loving your aesthetic 🥰
I would love to see how you made that sweater! As someone who is hopeless at knitting (believe me I've tried) I would love a different way to get that puff sleeve look!
Agree, I want one too
. . . funny, long before I got into historical garments I already had a thing for very long skirts, the only point against them for me are the fabric costs. I would struggle way more makeing thoe poofy sleaves look natural on me, but they look stunning on you ^^
I find it always very interesting how different things work for people and how everyone ends up with a very different and very destinct styl, even if inspired by the same periode.
History bounding is so rich and creative ^^
I adore the odd practicality historical garments offer, like pockets for example, or how cloths often where adjustable in size, or pockets, not just in you got any and they are decently sized, but also haveing them seperate in the 18th century means you do not have to add them everytime piece so no matter which pattiecoat you chose and how many you layer fo added warmth or extra poof, you got pockets.
Also corsets, they improve posture, prevent me from getting back pain and I can avoid wearing a bra with them. I wore the working in a wood workshop and they also proved to be a valueable aid in lifting and carrying things ^^
I try to get into stays, but to little sucsess up till now. Fitting them is a pain, especialy if one does it themselfs and got no clue what the goal is. It is frustraiting and weird, that I can very comfortably wear a corset laced thight enough for 4 inches of waist reduction( I do not usualy wear it that thight, I just tried once out of curiosity and found it beares me no disscomfort at all), but am getting back pain once the stays are pinned in a way that gets them to lay flat how they should.
I need a bicycle sweater so badly. Even though I live in the sun tropics and might be able to wear it maybe three or four days a year. Doesn’t matter. Still want one.
Oh, also- for history bounding earlier eras, I tend to ask two questions- “what would a working class woman wear?”, and “will this fit in my wheelchair?”
I’ve found that working class styles are far more likely to be easier to wear every day. An 18th C jacket and petticoat, maybe with a small bum roll, in fairly natural or dark colours (think season 1 of Outlander). Or a Tudor kirtle, but adding a placket to cover the gap from the waist down, again, not in anything too fancy, and with a plain shift underneath. An 1860s work dress, no crinoline, but maybe a few petticoats.
I’ve found those two questions really work for me. I do prefer 1890-1910 as my favourite style era, but I also love incorporating other eras in every now and then. Those two questions make it so that I’m pretty much always going to end up with an outfit that might be commented upon, but won’t be so incredibly out of place. No robe a la francaise for me- the panniers wouldn’t fit in my wheelchair even if I wanted to. But a working class 18thC outfit isn’t anywhere near as noticeable. So that’s my trick.
I e also noticed- that 1890s cycling sweater is now in fashion. There are a few brands (mostly just higher end ones at the moment) that are making almost those exact sweaters. I’ve seen them on Nordstrom’s website while searching for something like that, that I could afford to buy.
I think I’ll have to make one myself, though. But I already have a huge list of projects, and it is currently summer where I am, so it is pretty far down on the list. Maybe by the time winter rolls around, some cheaper brands might be naming them. Hopefully.
I'm also planning a historybounding wardrobe, but I have no functional sewing experience so I'm expecting lots of learning experiences (aka massive f-ups) in my future.
I'm aiming for very very late 1890s (eg 98 ish) through to 1905 but with a gothic twist. Basically peak gibson girl era with s-bend corsets and many lace insertions and bum pads but not bustles.
My colour palette is black, wine, red, and ivory, with silver fastenings and occasional embroidery.
I'm super excited and also terrified 😂
You're gonna do great! Don't get caught up in variety. Variety is over rated!. Find like one good skirt pattern (Scroop modern edwardian walking skirt is fantastic) and one good shirt waist, and just make them in a ton of different fabrics and colors.
@@thesewloartist yeah that's my though too. I have a bunch of colourways planned and maybe some soutache and embroidery to make some peices look different, but I'll use the same basic skirt, blouse, and jacket patterns to build the main part of my wardrobe. I really like the Truly Victorian 10 gore princesses skirts so I may go with one of those, and I found a lovely blouse pattern by Folkwear.
'I fail utterly at making casual clothes' is such a mood. I feel you!
This video is so legit, as an artist and a sewer I feel it so much! I think it's pretty awesome how it goes from the video to the postscript with you in the history bounding clothes & you look more deeply yourself. It's so clear history bounding suits you. That green is incredible on you too!
I love the way you have styled your looks. The outfits you have created really work in both worlds. I think you have achieved your aspiration! Thanks for the great video. Look forward to seeing your creations and how you make them reflect your favourite era in the 21 century.🌺
I loove the carroty fabric. 😍 But if you don't, maybe just dye it? You could dye it with natural materials like coffee, tea or walnut (more historical and i guess better for the environment) or with synthetic dye from a drugstore or so (more predictable). I'm curious what you will come up with! 🤗
I was about to suggest the same thing!

I enjoyed your ideas for vintage touches. I've been looking for some ways to incorporate more into my wardrobe. I'm with you on the hats though. I was at church once and there was a young lady wearing a beautiful hat with a long feather. I thought it was gorgeous and remember feeling jealous, thinking how I wished I could carry it off. I was in the hall later though, and after she walked by I heard a couple of young men saying, "Well, there goes the congregations's peacock," so I guess she didn't carry it off as well as I thought she did. Unless I'm out in the sun or at a costuming event, I'm afraid I'm too self-conscious to wear hats too. Maybe if I could find the right hat...
Ah, yes, unfortunately, hats catch a lot of backlash. A lot of the gals in the costuming community catch crap for wearing a hat. It's sad.
With the orange fabric, use it to make the 1910 cape and have the flip side be black and it would look quite stylish. If the straight black is too Halloweenish then maybe a black check or plaid to give a knod.
I really love the puffy sleeves on that cycling sweater! I think that if you choose where to use it on carefully, you can totally get away with more garments
I love all your looks so much ! They really suits you ! I am working on a historybound wardrobe, so your video is very inspiring and helpful. Thank you !!
Your wardrobe is very lovely. I have been doing something similar for several years with Russian folk clothing. My figure is a true pair shape which means that modern styles just make me look like a frumpy old lady. My Russian jumper solves this problem and I pair it with different shirts and tops s
would love to see the whole brownish skirt... (with the jacket with the puff sleeves). The skirt looks like what I have been thinking about making.
Great looks! They suit you well!
I agree with the comments. You really need to dish on that lovely sweater.
That’s the fresh frippery 1890s cycling sweater! She has an awesome tutorial for it and I made mine out of a cable knit throw blanket 😍
@@thesewloartist YES! FOUND IT!! Thankyou!
I adore the knitted cycling sweater and the knitter in me is trying to figure out how to make one. The sewer in me is impressed with the upcycling of a blanket to make it.
Omggg love your trousersssss
Okay I'm late to the party, but that outfit in the intro was amazing! I want it now:)
Your video's are awesome, but this is my favorite! I'm totally going to try to recreate some of these looks, you're an icon
That’s SO nice of you to say! I can never tell what kind of content people like to see so I appreciate the feedback :)
@@thesewloartist I wouldn't worry about it too much, you obviously love what you do and that passion is what drew me to your content. I'm hooked :)
New sub here, that green skirt is gorgeous!
Oops!hit the wrong button! As I was saying, I pair the Russian jumper with different tops. High waisted belts give me a feminine figure without all the emphasis on my booty. I get many compliments on my look and it's really comfortable. To all you history bounders out there, keep up the good work. One style does not fit all.
outstanding !
I have to laugh at the idea of super long skirts being old fashioned; whenever I’m not dealing with ponies I regularly wear ankle to floor length skirts, all of which (currently) I bought as regular day wear! Most of mine are tiered / “gypsy” style, but be reassured that very long skirts are not necessarily old fashioned!
This wardrobe is going to be so cute! I am already inspired by these pieces to make some similar items for my wardrobe :) I absolutely love that brown plaid fabric that you used for your skirt and jacket--may I ask where you got it from?
Can you believe that it's just cotton flannel from Joann? It doesn't seem to be on their website any more, but they still had it in store the last time I was there.
@@thesewloartist oh wow! I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks!
you might be able to overdye the carrot fabric. your plans sound good. :)
That sweater....
I need to know where you got your shoes from! 😍
i absolutely loooooove the sweater and really want to make one. is there a pattern you could recommend? thank you!
Where do you source your fabric from? Very pretty work!
omg! those cycling bloomers look perfect, not too tailored but also not too voluminous. Where did you get the pattern for these? they look different from the ones you made in the historical trousers video.
They are a different pair. I did a tutorial for them a little over a year ago? The video is called “Pattern Hacking for Historical Costumers”
Do you have an upcoming video about the AD cape? It looks like you may have added extra material to the front to get more coverage? If so, I NEED more information on that!
I did have to add extra fabric! I thought the problem was that I used too heavy of a fabric but I’ve heard a lot of people have had similar issues. It might make sense to add the fabric to the piece before you cut them out, but I just added a strip on either side and it worked in a pinch!
Ok, but the real question is - where did you put the pocket? Does it ruin the swoosh if smth is inside it?
I love the orange but you could always overdye it?
Oops! I did not hit the space bar in that last comment! Well it's one of those days.
