I have an acquaintance who has also mastered this ...."comfortable in her own style" thing by simply using color. She only wears purple. I never knew there were so many shades and combinations of purple, violet, plum, etc. But she is, as you say, altogether a bit intimidating, and NO ONE would ever, EVER say anything to her about her clothing.

I'm an Asian teenage girl but I really love historical style in Western countries. So it's obviously weird if I dress like an Edwardian or a 40s/50s lady downtown, also I live in tropical weather so some types of clothes are not very suitable to wear, and it's hard to find these vintage clothes too. But your video really inspired me to dress in historical way ^^

As someone that lives in a hot and humid place like where you're from, linens, cottons, and surprisingly, lightweight wools are your best friend. Lightweight wool is good because it breathes and wicks up moisture without making you feel wet but it's gotta be lightweight, not regular weight wool. Cotton and linen breathe as well and are perfect for tropical weather. Even if you choose not to dress historically, those three fibers will make your life so much easier in hot and humid places, but you can definitely dress using western historical clothing. In fact, that'll make it more accurate because we do have hot and humid weather in some of the west! I hope you're following your heart and doing what makes you happy and I hope that this little bit of advice helps :)

I find it very interesting how each woman uses slightly different terminology! Bernadette, who mostly creates her own clothes using period-accurate materials and techniques, calls it “historical dress”. Rachel, who mixes genuine 20th century clothes with reproductions and era-inspired modern clothes, calls it “dressing vintage”. And Morgan, who seems to mix reproductions with more modern clothes that evoke a similar feel (I haven’t watched as much of her content yet, please forgive me if I am wrong), calls it “Historybounding”!
@katherinec2759
@katherinec2759 2 жыл бұрын
Technically, "historical costuming/historical dress" is wearing fully accurate reproductions of historical styles, while "historybounding" is paying homage to elements of historical styles, while also utilizing modern styles. So Morgan is correct that what she does is historybounding, not "true" historical dress. What Rachel does is also primarily historical dress, but because she does a specific time period that is often referred to as "vintage", saying that she "dresses vintage" is a good way to specify what sort of historical dress she does. So yes, interesting to hear the different terminology, but it's different because they mean very specific things by it. Which in my opinion, is even more fascinating. :)

As a larger woman who has *never* felt comfortable in my clothing the pure liberation of making my own clothes has been life altering! I do not go for the “historical” looks but I feel the same concept applies of finding and sourcing fabrics that speak to me and finding/altering preexisting patterns to fit me perfectly has completely changed how I feel In my wardrobe and how I feel about my wardrobe. It is much less disposable and I feel pride in know I made this! And I look amazing in this because it is made specifically for me and my body

100%! 👏 I reckon at least learning how to mend & to alter garments is super-useful, just to increase the level of comfort and confidence we can achieve in our own clothing, and how long things last for? Learning to adjust clothes is a great combo with thrifting/op-shopping too - those kinds of sources can provide items in better fabrics that just need refitting, which I've found is a helpful in-between step while still learning to sew more complicated things entirely from scratch?

That is so amazing!♥️ I envy the people who get the privilege of being around you. When I worked in a DIY warehouse many years ago, there was an older gentleman that dressed to the nines, walking cane, hat, the works!...it was such a thrill to see!!! Sadly, he didn't come in often, but when he did I secretly wanted him to take my arm and stroll me around. I would have felt like a million bucks! I never asked him to do that, but I did tell him how much I appreciated his look. You don't know how much your effort means to people, so I just want to tell you, thank you.♥️

It is interesting Bernadette that you mention the "respect effect"...as you probably know there have for great chunks of time actual laws blocking talented seamstresses and working class people from wearing materials and styles which were outside their actual CLASS! These were called sumptuary laws and we're designed to prevent talented working class people from class jumping or "dressing as their betters in order to social climb." The effects of this are still very real when for instance Oprah walks into Hermes in Paris and is treated like a shoplifter...or AOC gets criticized for wearing second hand Chanel...(even though in NYC ESPECIALLY) you are judged mercilessly by your wardrobe and consignment shops full of lux garments exist everywhere!

I think teenage girls are still exploring styles and they have a lot of time to try new makeup new outfits, and that's why they're so welcoming? (or maybe they watch too much TV, and want the clothes from there. I certainly do) I was attracted to your channel because of how unique, beautiful yet familiar historical clothing is in this world of fast fashion, same-ish clothing. I totally want to make the spencer once I have time to. Also I realise that it would be so awesome to see a photoshoot album of all the looks you girls have, like srsly it's so unique.

I have to agree with Bernadette on her sentiments regarding becoming disinterested in "high street" fashion- once you've had the pleasure of wearing a garment you designed, with it's perfectly finished seams and all natural lining, maybe even hand embroidery....it's difficult to be enthusiastic about a mass produced, machine embroidered top, of a blended textile content, with serged seams inside. It may not be a bad top....but it lacks a certain gravity and joy.

I think that is the point some people still try out their own personal fashion senses, it's because nobody cares, and nobody would care. Unless those people just have nothing to do with their lives that is. But so long's it doesn't physically hurt people to dress in your own fashion, then go for it, there's no saying it's a crime. Think of it like cosplay, except you wear your fashion not only in conventions.

@@jessica7263 Hi! So... In her video about "Buying a knockoff of my own dress" Bernadette mentions her scoliosis. She explains right around 9:30 or so that her scoliosis is "Severe" and so the dresses she makes for herself "No longer fit any sort of standard size of human" I was not intending to make a generalization about scoliosis but about *her* scoliosis which is apparently sever enough to significantly alter how fitted clothes should be cut and made. In a situation such as hers, it would be a nightmare to purchase things off the rack if a body is looking for a fitted item. Both my aunt and a work friend have moderate and severe scoliosis respectively. They both purchase all their clothes, though the work friend has to have her clothing altered and neither of them wear particularly fitted clothes. I did not mean to offend, I was simply opining on how I totally understood wanting to make your own clothes when off the rack clothes do not fit you like you want them to.

In my 30's I collected and wore a lot of 1920's clothing. I even wore it to church. I don't remember anyone asking me any questions about my clothing, which was strange, but my friends accepted me. I used to participate in vintage fashion shows and wore my own garments, hats, shoes, and accessories. I was married in a 1912 white linen dress which I repaired and slightly enlarged under the arms and the sides of the bodice, and the neck, and wore the correct undergarments. I have always sewn my own clothing and only rarely--in the early 1970's--made anything out of polyester. I avoid it like the plague it is, but it is becoming harder and harder to find anything new to wear made of natural fabrics. Fortunately, I no longer go out much so can wear (cotton) jeans and t-shirts most of the time. One concession I have made is fleece. A necessity in MIchigan winter.

My mom gave me her jeans from the early 90s and it kickstarted my love of wearing vintage, I'd always admired clothes from all decades but had never had the confidence to try anything. Now I have ALL the confidence to wear whatever the fuck I want, I've never been more comfortable in my skin. I was shocked at the quality difference in modern clothes compared to vintage.

She also dyed her hair all sorts of bright colors. This was a big international tech company and she was a well liked people manager and also very good at her job. I always wondered if she dressed 'normal' at first and then once landed the job switched to what she loved. I admired how she was so willing to put herself out there as obviously not a wall flower. She was a big girl too so not a size 3 which I found (as an obese woman) admire totally (though no amount of $ would make me wear fancy stylish clothing).

When Bernadette ever mentions hand sewing over machine, it brightens my day. I am the only left handed person in my immediate family and I could never learn from right handed relatives how to use their sewing machines or much else. So, I got really into stitching once I found my great-grandmother's sewing primers. Yes it takes a lot of patience (and sometimes it's ten at night and you'd of had it finished two hours earlier), but it's also calming and an art. Bernadette's knowledge of stitching patterns never fails to impress.

My best “vintage clothes” reaction I ever got was when I was working in a school. I typically find “business casual” very stifling so I would make up for that by dressing very vintage with a sort of vaguely late 50’s early 60’s flair and I used to wear and love clothes by a particularly kitschy Dutch brand of vintage inspired clothes. Apparently my clothes struck a chord with the little girls at the school because they started the rumor that I was a secret Disney Princess. Of course I took this as a high compliment coming from six year old girls. They especially loved my t-strap shoes and circle skirts.

I had just gone on break, waiting for my lunch to get out, and she heard one of my co-workers ask me how long my hair was getting (it was down to my backside) and make a joke that I was going for Rapunzel length. This little girl absolutely loved Disney princesses and asked to see my hair. (I had it braided and tucked up under a bandana at that point.) She wanted to see if I was blonde like her, and how long my hair really was. Thing is, I'm a red-head with blue eyes, and I was a little afraid of disappointing her. But after she asked again, I pulled my bandana off and unpinned my braid, frizzies flying all over, and I wish I'd had access to a camera right then because her eyes just lit up. Apparently, Merida was her absolute favorite. The little girl begged me to have lunch with her (I was happy to oblige), and spent the rest of my break speaking in a Scottish accent. Before long, I had to go back on the clock, and she asked me why I was working. I told her I was saving up to buy Angus a new saddle. Her mom snagged me as they were leaving and thanked me for playing along. Apparently, the last person the girl had mistaken for a Disney Princess had been very rude about it and her daughter had been inconsolable for days afterwards. I saw that little girl three or four times after that, and she was always bouncing-off-the-walls happy when she left. Kinda wish I knew how she's doing now...

@@theostheories6548 , learn to sew. Not everything is difficult to make. Most people equate beauty with being complicated but that just isn't true. Simple designs can be gorgeous when made from the right fabric. Even the choice of color can make a difference. Take for instance the Little Black Dress. They are black and usually just a simple sheath. They're always awesome even though there are few garments simpler than that. It's hard to screw up an LBD. If you don't have room or money for a sewing machine just sew by hand. Bernadette's video on basic stitches and seams is all you need to get started. I personally prefer to sew by hand. Stooping over a sewing machine all day kills my back. I can sit in a comfy chair and sew by hand while watching videos. To me that's an ideal afternoon. And finally the best part of making one's own clothes is that they fit perfectly. It's amazing how much better correctly fitting clothes feel to wear. You don't get that feel from off-the-rack or vintage. Well-to-do people pay astonishing amounts of money for hand-made, bespoke clothing for special occasions while people like me get to wear bespoke every day. There are so many good reasons to learn to sew that I can't recommend it enough.

David Patterson absolutely! My daughter is 12, and it’s interesting to see the difference between the teens of my generation (mid millennial) and hers (Gen Z). My generation did grow up with the knowledge of the importance of the environment, but Gen Z is on another level entirely. Thrifting (or Op Shopping as it is in my country), was still only something that the poor or the very eccentric did (I was both as a teen, and I’ll never forget my first big op shop find- a vintage fur coat for only $20. Expensive for an op shop, but very worth it. And while I’d never buy for brand new, I’ll happily buy it vintage). But now, op shopping is considered the cool thing to do. My daughter would only buy brand new if she couldn’t find it secondhand. And as she prefers a very 90’s style (1990’s that is), she’s usually able to find what she’s looking for secondhand. And I think because of this embrace of second hand, there’s also a lot of acceptance for wearing styles of bygone eras. That, plus the romanticisation that naturally occurs when looking back. So it’s not surprising to me that teens are far more accepting of vintage styles these days. Except for my daughter, who grew up with a parent who has always worn 40s and 50s style garb (as far as she’s concerned, at least), so it’s all rather pedestrian to her.

Alx Romero I think (as a teenage girl) it’s because we are facing the pressures of society’s ideas of beauty, we are very inclined to fit in but also explore what’s under the surface. So many young adults find that these spaces comforting and non-judgemental. I hope there’s a massive boom of teenagers exploring what styles they actually like! I know many friends from school who have found what they like and they gain this certain confidence you don’t see in high schoolers, whether that be their general appearance, how they walk or speak, or how they feel about themselves, it’s just so cool!

Actually, there were two classifications of mid nineteenth to early twentieth century photography. There was the studio photography, which conformed to the rules of formal painting. These were the photos that were publicly displayed in the house to convey status. Those were stiff and formal. But, people also had portable cameras which they used for candid shots. These went into photo albums and were only shown to close friends and family. In these candid photos, people did goof off and show their whimsical side. However, it’s only the studio pictures that show up in books and museums. We don’t see the private ones, usually.

To everyone complaining that they don’t have money for clothes- I think the thing is, that clothes were always expensive, and it used to be that quality was always the standard over quantity. Modern identity has deceived everyone into thinking that we must have a large amount of clothes, that we must consume constantly, when all you need is a few good, quality pieces. If you want quality, save money for quality, instead of buying those $10 t-shirts. As Bernadette has shown in her videos, it takes A LOT of work to create those beautiful pieces; you get what you pay for. 💁🏻‍♀️

This is very true. Clothes back then were an investment that can be used for years, unlike fast fashion. Also, the rise of technology has made spending on clothes decrease during the past decades. When someone spends up to $1000 on a phone it's normal, but you can also spend that much money on 2-3 well-tailored suits, and some would call that an extravagance. We live in a society...

Sometimes the cost is simply prohibitive to lower budgets. If all you can front for a shirt is that $10, you're almost certainly shopping at the thrift stores so you can buy two or even four shirts so you can be assured to have enough for your needs. Ten bucks is nowhere near enough to buy decent quality fabric, even. It also depends on the time leniency for the need of new shirts. I know what you're saying too, and that's also true. I just wanted to lend another perspective here, because I would like certain historical pieces, but there's just not money in my budget to even buy the fabric and sew them myself. And no, I'm not going out and buying a bunch of shirts. :)

I've found deep-diving at thrift stores also allows those with a smaller budget to find higher-quality items for a reasonable price, and even imperfect pieces of clothing can be altered to last longer or work better. (I have no idea how many women's dress shirts I've sewn top buttons onto so I can wear them with ties...) The sheer variety thrift stores display allows you to never 'settle for less' when it comes to things like style vs. material, and often a little digging turns up a high-quality shirt or shoe you otherwise would never be able to afford (or even find, sometimes).

You can look it up for more detail but basically, if you invest in expensive clothes/ shoes that last many years, you will save more money than buying lots of cheap stuff. However, if you are on low income fronting the cost is harder so you need to settle, so you've spent more and you still have crappy boots that let the water in

Loved this video! You are all so inspirational and so lovely. As a woman of colour who loves western clothing styles and designs from the 1930s, I did try to make it my style, as I feel so comfortable in that "look", I even learnt to knit and sew so I could recreate, I particularly love knitwear from the era. However, I lost confidence a few years again when I was looked at as "weird" or "but in your country people didn't wear that stuff". I am not brave, I couldn't take the comments anymore, I couldn't fight again both prejudices, "a woman of colour who wears weird clothes", so I just stopped. I still knit and try to incorporate details into my look, so it's "modern" but "different". I conformed and blended in. So I look at you lovely ladies and feel so happy, I feel all is well with world :). You are all so beautiful!

I'm so glad Morgan mentioned the need to dress for work! I'm in mortuary school, and as much as I wish I could dress like a Victorian Lesbian Doctor (aka Can I Please Be Bramwell), I can't very well do that at a funeral, or in the prep room. What I can do is wear a nice skirt and my AD shoes and use a ribbon instead of elastic in my hair. So while my goal for my non-work wardrobe is to eventually be 100% historical, I'm completely satisfied with being around 20%-50% history bounding in my work clothes (especially considering I need to be able to wash things in the machine). It still feels Me, and it still feels Right. And I'll add to it! I'm eventually going to make a "modern" walking skirt, and a new jacket-y blazer thing, and it'll be excellent. And you're so right about historical fashions often being completely practical! My next sewing project is actually a petticoat to help keep me a little warmer in the cemetery. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who needs to get to know their clothes before being comfortable, haha. ANYWAY sorry for rambling ily bye

I feel the “climatizing yourself” to your style thing. I wear dresses nearly every day to school because it’s what I feel comfortable in. I will wear all sorts of modern style dresses along with a cape in the winter when it gets too cold or my leather jacket in the slightly warmer seasons. I walk through halls looking like a rich and fancy woman or a classy biker chick as I pass by students in sweatshirts and yoga pants. I have been stared at, catcalled(?), and had many many people come up to me and ask what the occasion was or give me compliments like I’m wearing a ball gown at a royal party or something. I specifically remember a time where one of my classmates leaned over and said “you’re so brave for wearing dresses all the time. I’d never have the courage to wear one to school.” It really caught me off guard because I had never really thought about it that way, it had always just been ‘yeah I’m covering my flesh in a way that I think looks cool and I like’. I was so completely thrown for a loop that I just told her I didn’t think about what it looks like compared to other people just how comfy it is to me and flapped the fabric of my cape a bit. She gave me a look like she’d never thought of it that way before. It’s really strange how everyone says that how you dress is a way of self expression but feel too confined to actually express themselves. I saw that same classmate a few days later wearing a very pretty blue dress and when I complimented her she was smiling the rest of the class period.

Everyone at my school wore the same thing. Didn't have a choice. Girls wore skirts, boys wore trousers, but apart from that the shirts were the same, the jumpers were the same, the ties were the same, the blazers were the same. There wasn't a different cut for the girls compared to the boys, just generic box. lol Its always strange to me to see people talking about school and classmates and clothing choices, because school uniforms are just a normal thing here and I forget they aren't a thing elsewhere. The home clothes days for charity were always interesting though because then you learned what peoples styles actually were. The first time I was told it was weird I was wearing a skirt the one time I didn't have to. It was my newest item of clothing so something that didn't look too worn out by that point and actually fitted ok in a way I'd be happy being seen by everyone I knew. By the time sixth form came round and we were allowed to wear "business" style clothing I'd got to the point of fed up with playing by the rules and kind of just went fuck it. So I wore sheer black shirts with a camisole under with a mini skirt, but still with the required suit jacket. And the skirt was a pleated mini skirt in tartan so it looked like a shorter stereotypical school skirt (though ours were plain navy blue). Or on the days when it was actually home clothes day I'd just wear the sheer black shirt and a pretty bra under. Because I was so done with it all. lol And then by university when I didn't have to try in any way I just ended up in tshirts and jeans.

It's less "You're not allowed to wear this" but more "I don't like the way that looks. Do what you want with it but I do not approve." and my own insecurity does with that reaction what it wants. One day, one day. Might go to a thrift store and see if they happen to have some nice, special stuff there that's actually comfortable. Anyone else bothered by modern clothing for women always having sleeves that are too short or just not fitting right in general? This is just why I insist on buying men's shirts.

13:00 - I WAS in a play, but I went to McDonald's across the street in my costume, which was Tzeitel's day dress from Fiddler on the Roof. A little girl came up to me at the drink machine and asked if I was Amish, lol.

I find judgement for clothing to be incredibly apparent when you are a mother, I am a 20 year old mother of a 2 year old, love those early 60's cigarette pants and bullet bra styles- but find myself being looked at differently for it. At doctors appointments, going out with my son etc, time and time again I'm asked by other mothers "How do you find time to do your hair like that? I just throw on jeans and a t shirt and a bun!" Like I can't also care for and put my son first WHILE also wearing a style that makes me happy, it's silly. Thank you ladies for showing us how to do it in style :)

Sounds like Laura Petrie meets Ann Margaret. I love that era too, since I was a little kid in the 60's and i like the Elizabeth Taylor/Hollywood flowered dresses and pearls. I think an intelligent and creative person can ALWAYS find the time to do things that make them feel good. You go, Mommy!

You can never win as a woman. You’re always too much for some and not enough for others. That’s why you’ve got to do what makes you happy and forget about what other people think

Cigarette pants are ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. I don’t personally like wearing clothes that draw attention to themselves, so I don’t envision ever “going vintage.” But there’s a timeless elegance to Audrey Hepburn’s cigarette pants and mariner striped shirt combos that will never go out of style.

I don’t dress historically, but I would wear a floor-length cape to school every now and then because capes are rad. People would give me compliments and also ask me what I had dressed up for. :0

I just love this video, you are a true inspiration to me. I'm 19 now and I've always wanted to dress in a vintage/academia way but I feel constanstly judged by a member of my family which is quite annoying and just breaks my self-confidence in many pieces. I want to learn how to sew my own skirts and more, get dressed like I'm a time-traveller from the 40s or even before because that's what I love but I really feel like for now it's not possible, I feel trapped in this "conformity". I had a modern clothing for Christmas and the person who gave me that said to me: "So now and finally, you'll have something *modern* in your wardrobe" and they said it with a fake smile. They are tired, of who I'm trying to be and how I am trying to look like, they don't like it because it's too "old-fashioned". It makes me really sad but this video gives me hope and costubers like you are just giving me so many reasons to embrace what I admire in sewing and vintage clothing. Thank you for this video.
