This is an overview of 16th century German women's clothing covering peasants, Trossfrau, and speculative dress from the Freydal by the Emperor Maximillain.
The outfit minus the Italian jacket, you are wearing, is similar to the Rhenish (Lower Left Rhineland area) traditional folk costume. However the guards would just be black and bodice and skirt would be two different garments. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely cannot sew but your video was interesting & fun to watch. I remember hearing that certain colors could only be worn by members of a certain class. Was that rule still observed in that century or could the commoners wear whatever color they wanted?
I haven't done research into the 1700s, so I can't really answer that. However, peasant fashions moved very slowly, so likely, that wouldn't change. Also Landsknecht was a "fashion moment in time" so to speak, and I don't believe that fashion would have moved forward into the 1700s.

I could listen to you talk about German sleeves for days
Amen
Perfect for the project I'm working on, thanks a ton
Thank you for your insight! This is incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much, i was literally resurching trossfrau for 12th night
That was incredibly clear, and very informative.
Thanks!
Well that was nice to see other than English or French Attire. Thank you.
The peasants dress is a forerunner of the Dirndle! German women have been wearing them for centuries.
And still do! Or again?
Yeah. Basically nothing changed during the last 500 years. 😁
Very informative! Could you link your website in your video descriptions, please? :)
Also I noticed that the bodice is basically a long dirndl.

i know its a bit late for a reply haha, but certain colors were restricted to the nobility eg tyrian purple, royal blue, scarlet red etc
Are there any sources you could suggest to read in this topic?
What is your website?
