- Join librarian Genevieve for this online video as she takes you through a step by step historical costume demonstration of what three different women would be wearing during the time period of Outlander.
A well-fitted corset or stays are not at all uncomfortable, they provide support and you feel like you’re wearing armor👍😊. And I LOVE my 18th century pocket!
Sounds convincing
I cannot imagine wearing petticoat and pockets without stays on sounds like a good way to have to have the ties slowly saw me in half
Corset myth-busting, yay! Bernadette Banner & Abby Cox would be proud 👊🏽
Thank you so much for addressing the costume inaccuracies that bug me about Outlander. I'm a huge fan, but in particular, the actresses constantly dragging floor length skirts through the mud drives me crazy. That's for two reasons. Firstly, as you commented, it would not be practical (or comfortable when wet) and secondly, as women used to wearing mini skirts in the 1960s, I think they would have found it difficult to adjust to wearing long skirts. I've always thought they would have tried to get away with as shorter skirt as possible, simply because that was what they were used to wearing. Rant over!
This video was WONDERFUL! THANK YOU!
I wondered how they kept the sun off of them, thank you for answering that question
Excellent video, loving the clothes
"...fit my body, it is not designed to constrict my body" Truth!
Wonderful. Thank you for this video
Yes - I certainly did enjoy it! How it doesn't have more views I don't know, it really deserves them. Thank you for making this video for us. :-)
This video deserves more views. Also I really like the working jacket. Looks very comfortable and wearable!
Brilliant! Thank you
you have a lovely collection of garments for this presentation! my guess is that you made some or all of them.
Loved seeing a library presentation, you did a great job!
'maybe it's her... maybe its a bit of horsehair in a bustle' XD
That orange and blue is gorgeous! I love this! It goes so well with people working on genealogy. I like to imagine what they would wear. Also, how many garments were average per person.
I have found one knitted jacket and one knitted petticoat from that era one or both seem to have been dutch (i have a feeling that in the low countries knitwear were a much bigger trade than we remember today, i just learned last month that the big city i live next to was renouned as the knitting centre of the low countries at the turn of the 19th century) the two pieces were not a set
The jacket was most likely part of a maternity kit and might have been worn as a pair of jumps facilitating the recovery after childbirth and was in white coton, so more easily washed than wool. It's style is reminiscent of gentle men's knitted undertunic of the previous century and is certainly an anomaly at this point.
The petticoat was a jewel of knitwear, knitted with more than a thousand stitches, no sign of paneling a wide variety of animal and plant subjects created with the texture of moss stitch, none of them repeating and with no sign of tiredness or irregularities as if it was knitted by one person in one sitting and most likely knitted in the round with none of the trait of double pointed needles. it was common for professional knitters to show a series of knitted pieces as part of their final exams. I see that petticoat as the equivalent of couture for that era like a petticoat where someone actively tried to push the limits of what a petticoat was and what could be done through knitting
Thanks you so much for sharing all of this information. It’s remarkable. Cheers from Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
I love this demo! Thanks so much! Need to look up what a cape with ‘luxurious shag trim’ means!
Would you mind sharing the pattern you used for the first bedgown, and 2nd middle class jacket? I love how those fit you! Very nicely done.
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. You did a great job, thank you
Wow that was great.thank you.
I'm somewhat familiar with clothing of this era, but I don't know everything. I learned a lot from this presentation, thank you! I enjoyed it.
It doesn't look uncomfortable at all, but quite practical.
Thank you! This was very interesting!
Thanks so much. I sound have liked to see the shift and stays better without the first petticoat. Great video!
I appreciate your demonstrations
Chất lượng, Sỹ Luân chắc thích bản Cover này lắm này! Chúc mừng em cùng toàn thể Ekip F. Studio
I'm curious about the busk, does it dig into the pelvis when sitting? I've worn corsets that were too long in the torso for me and I couldn't sit comfortably because of the boning digging into my pelvis.
Thank you. That was very interesting!
If really abitious there is another book on hadstiching by Bernadette Banner called Make Sew and Mend
I loved the costumes but I tried to find out something else. I would like to know if there is a pattern for the quilt that was on Jamie’s bed when he had the snakebite. It was blue and white and awesome
Loved it thanks
In all those paintings of 18th century women in those beautiful clothes, who knew it was all just tied and pinned on? But there's just one question you haven't answered. Did they wear what we would call underpants? If not, wasn't that kind of breezy in the winter?
This was very infomative as I dont care for this period but its interesting to know. In outlander the first season a kid does remark that Claire is without her fescue or neckerchief . In other Scenes they do show other women with them or sheer ones. But as majority they are boobs out for modern titulation. Fascinating that you recommend reading the American Duchess book as Abby Cox who was a coAuthor worked as a reenactor at colonial Williamsburg .. and then the next book is from Colonial Williamsburg😆.
Very practical
May I have the hooded cape?
Was the corset capable of protecting against a musket ball or arrow.? These corsets seem to cover all the vital organs.
Its unlikely they could have protected against a musket ball or arrow. The stiffening is usually whalebone or reeds(heavy grass) not metal. They might have given some protection against a sword or knife cut but any kind of stabbing/focused attack would probably go right through unless the wearer got extremely lucky.
Have you bought or made the stays you´re wearing? If bought, where?
There’s a few really great sources of stays and corsets.
Redthreaded is one. I’ve sewn a set of Regency long stays from that company and they’re amazing. They offer patterns and ready to wear, as well as custom made!
Where is Wilson County? Tennessee?
We are in Eastern North Carolina!
Please, could you make subtitles in English so that foreigners can better understand what you say. Far distance distorts the voice, and little knowledge of the English language and misunderstanding makes it indistinguishable. I have to guess all the information from the context and just admire the outfits.
Thank you.
you forget apron
