Getting dressed: 1903 summer vs winter

In this video, I dress in Edwardian fashion from 1903 both for a hot summer day and a cold winter day and show the difference in layers and explain the different layers needed to complete the Edwardian pigeon bust silhouette.
While most of everything I wear in these is made by me, the hats are vintage, the hat pins a friend made, the parasol, coat and jewelry are antiques and the winter boots as well as the gloves are vintage and the oxfords are reproductions by Memery.

I had no idea you could make faux fur out of wool, we really should go back to that! I love watching your videos and how accurate they are!

[@sewthroughtime]

There was silk faux fur too! 😊 Btw if you watch the recording of the live on my channel (I really should get around to adding a proper picture and description on it) it is about an antique 1910s coat and it is mohair plush 😊

Love the difference between a private body and a public fashionable body.

I can't believe how much the styles changes in the twenties. Love your channel. You look beautiful as always.

[@ZipZipInkspot]

Delightful and skillfully presented! Love how spot on your explanations are and the ensembles are lovely. This is a favorite era of mine, and a many happy evenings have been spent with the era's women's magazines, from the stories and fashions to the advice and ads :)

[@sewthroughtime]

I often read the fashion magazines too! 😊 There's always something new to learn

I did actually wear a similar outfit for that -20 degree winter. My co-workers were very confuse about the outfit, but hey, they had 5 layers and were still cold, and there I was with 4 layers, feeling just fine

[@sewthroughtime]

Yes air in-between is the best insulator 😊

Thanks for the great illustration of '03 fashion, really helped my understanding!

[@user-nr9yq2ri7b]

Surprisingly many layers of undergarments they wore!

[@PsychoKat90]

"Ultra fashionable, ultra groovy" 😂 I love that!

[@beaniebear1122]

Great video! It'll be cool if you did ones for other decades.

[@sewthroughtime]

I have done a few getting dressed ones from other decades but not one comparing a single years summer and winter styles if that's what you mean specifically

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

You look gorgeous in both outfits 🙂

[@sewthroughtime]

Thanks 🥰

Thank you for these wonderful videos! I would like to learn more about wedding dresses (because I am engaged and would love to sew my own) - may this be possible some time soon? Greetings from Germany.

Some old magazines i have would tell you gloves are 100% necessary and they should be properly put on BEFORE you exit your home. (The must be stated part right?)
It was part of a whole article about girls who went to collage and started dressing sloppily. Untied shoes and gaping plackets were also among the complaints.

[@sewthroughtime]

Yes they would, but like with any etiquette rule they wouldn't be making a big deal about it if people didn't break it all the time 😜 there a tons of pictures of women outside without gloves on

[@sparker4614]

😊🥰👏👏👏👏👏

Where did you get the cotton lace fabric and the cotton velvet I’ve been looking for some but everything is polyester

[@sewthroughtime]

The cotton velvet is thrifted and the cotton lace I bought years ago. It's one of those fabrics that kind of comes and goes depending on how much lace is in fashion, hopefully it'll come back into fabric stores soon!
