I quite like the voiceover! It means I can look at your gorgeous work more closely and not worry about missing text.

Love that you included the breast binding. Everytime someone says. "Oh no they didn't wear any support garment" I'm really annoyed. Women with smaller breasts maybe. I'm rather big busted myself and not having a support is unimaginable even in tight clothes. For practical reasons alone, as well as just cosmetic reasons.

I enjoyed the narration and larger video size very much! Please continue this format. I think my mother will now be able to watch, she has macular degeneration and could not read the script and see the smaller picture. Really just the narration and larger video size would be great for me. I will continue to watch regardless because I find it fascinating to see how people use to dress. You are an amazing seamstress. You, and your husband, are a great joy to watch.

Thank you for making the video so much larger and easier to the eyes.

Thank you for still having the writing along with the speaking. I don't like listening to narration so I love that I can just read the captions on the left while enjoying the video itself. I also love the little bit of silliness at the end!

I am comenting only to say THANK YOU. I am a History of Dress professor, and you can´t imagine how much your videos help my students when it comes to really understand clothing in its material dimension. You changed completely how they feel in my classes and I will always thank you for that.

Thank you so much for making the video larger! It's so much better to watch ♥️

Now you have enlarged the picture to your usual, crisp standard we can see that Red/Green silk in all it’s sumptuous glory. I really love these garments they are so cleverly constructed and look amazing on you. Those fabrics must have been amazing to work with. I am fascinated by how quickly costume takes you back to the original period - and then you start doing batman! 😂😂😂😂😂 There’s just no hope 😉🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for the glimpse into another world - I’m self isolating on my own due to health conditions so any relief from the sheer tedium is most welcome. it’s so lovely to have a glimpse back in time - and back to the normality again of sitting with a lovely cup of tea and a Hobnob watching you do your wonderful thing. You may not realise but you are providing a valuable social service to people like me who can’t get out - at all - and need a little uplift and reminder that there are beautiful things in this world and amazing people who carry on regardless (and of course keep calm) and make them real for the rest of us to enjoy. Thank you and take care of you, Lucas and yours ✌🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹🌹🌹🇬🇧

Loved the narration and seeing some of your personality near the end! And the dress, of course.

I laughed out loud when you whisper-yelled, “BATMAN!” Only the best historical Batman! I do enjoy when you narrate your little videos. The witticism comes to life and I feel as if I have a sister from another country.

I loved to hear how the garment sounds when you move, it gave the garment kinda more dimension or something!

Thank you for leaving the text in the video even if you are narrating it! English is not my first language an I find it easier to read than to listen, esp. when you are using words I don't know yet ❤

I think it's really thoughtful and sweet as to how you take people's feedback into account for your videos!

Much better! Thank you for the re-upload and listening to your viewers! ♥️ Also, the Oracle has wonderful taste. The Jade beads really accentuate the dress and gown so much better than the Amber did. 😍

I like that you made the video bigger!

Definitely better, this one.. Since the dress is the main subject its always better to have the footage larger or up close at least. Thanks so much and for taking viewers' feedbacks. Cheers from Borneo!

Thank you so much for listening and fixing the ratio! The dress is so beautiful :) I really like how the green necklace contrasts with the red dress!

Glad to watch it again. I love the sound the fabric made when you were walking in the glorious outfit at the (almost) end of the video.

I love how expressive you are with these demonstrations, you're a riot with the faces and reactions! 😂😂

Fun fact in Italy we still use the word camicia for a shirt usually a men's shirt while a woman's would be called blusa (blouse)

Love the narration. Added so much personality to the video. 🙂

I love this! Thank you for the reupload.

That batman exit was so funny! 😂

Thank you for another great video! As an "armchair historian" the details of clothing are so often not even considered by historians. Your videos help bring these time periods to life for me. As a person who sews much of her own wardrobe, I cannot imagine the amount of research, skill and time that goes into these ensembles. I've actually just ordered your first book, but don't think myself clever enough by a quarter to sew the outfits you sew. I do want to start sidesaddle lessons this summer.....so, maybe a riding habit? I appriciated the end where we could hear the beautiful "swish" of the silk as you walked. Sending much admiration and awe at your skill from America.

I love the 15th century Italian Renaissance gown! Years ago, in the mid 1990s, I sewed a gown like that for myself to wear to Medieval Dance classes. I used to be a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. My dress was a lovely emerald green, and my sleeves were lined with a lovely deep pink silk. I still have the gown, but, alas, I am too fat to wear it, now. I loved the cloak thingy that you wore over your dress! You are a very good seamstress! Thanks for sharing this! Stay safe, and stay home! Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly! ~Janet in Canada P. S. We are all in this together!

I really liked the voice over of the video it made it easier for me to see the parts you were talking about. Thank you for all of your lovely videos

I always liked the medieval Italian and Italian renaissance style more due to the pretty hair braiding and styles that weren't too extreme like the northern European looks.

Beautiful, as always. Thank you so much.

What always fascinates me about these historic outfits is how little time it actually took to get from undressed to out the door, even for only one person doing the dressing. Yeah, it's more time-consuming than now, but the looks of some of the ensembles made me think it would take two people at least half an hour to get the look together. But that wasn't the case. Nobody had time for over-complicated dressing, no matter what the era.

“I’m Batman!” Immediately to “how dare you breathe in my direction, peasant!” Lol

Thank you! I really wanted to watch this but the picture in the previous upload was to small for me to see. So much respect for listening to your fans and adjusting the video. Have a great day!

I love the voiceovers, they free my eyes to really pay attention to which piece goes where!xD Ever since the “500 years of medieval fashion” video, I’ve been waiting for a late 15th century video because those headdresses looked absolutely fascinating!

This looks waaaaaaay more comfortable than the French and English dresses from the 18th and 19th Centuries!

It is nice to hear your voice, and let's one enjoy looking at the clothes instead of reading. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Thank you so much for sharing all the fashion history that you do. Through your videos I have found so many other people who also share their sewing of historical clothing. Its been amazing. Why it even lead me to Townsend and Son's 18th century re-enactors and cooking. You and all these other people who share history with we viewers help enlarge our world. Thanks!

Honestly I am SO glad that you changed to this setup! Yeey! Narration and text is ideal for me since my nearing is not that well and since English isn't my first language and reading, well, I was too slow and had to pause every time the text changed.. but I thought I will not complain ( I think I lie now, I might've done it a few times I believe 🤔 ) because this is the way the channel is and I loved it nevertheless.. because.. just look what you made over the years!!! 💖 But I am totally happy with the way it goes now! I know (I read in the description box, it is a struggle and a half... and I'm sorry for that.. ) but I love the way it is changed to.. 👌 And then the garment... Beautiful! And now I understand what those puffy pieces on the sleeves are! The chemise! NEVER saw that coming! 😲😁 And again you make me chuckle when you did the Batman move, lol! And who doesn't twirl or even tries to resist the temptation to twirl in all the gowns that you made and make 🤗💖😎

... I love your work bringing dress styles from the past with class, beauty and a fine lifestyle, you are unique!!!

I’m so glad this is a thing. As a half Florentine I am obsessed with this era and Florence😍🥰

Outfit looks both gorgeous and comfortable! 😍

Miss, you deserve an award! The outfit was amazing, and the Batman comment at the end topped it all off with a bang! Thank you so much!

PLEASE KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMING!!! You're added slice of humor, make them even more enjoyable! 😊

What a great "day-to-night" look! Very elegant and beautiful. It looks rather comfortable too! Fun video and Ioved the narration!

I love the ruffling of the materials. And the final result is simply elegant.

COOL! Whenever I see Italian Renaissance clothing, I can't help but think of Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. I see many similarities between this look and some of the costumes in the film, particularly the high-waisted silhouette.

Yes, this is much better! Now the video part is actually large enough to see.

I came here after watching "Arte" an anime about woman artist in early 16th century in florence. This video helps me so much about understanding the dressing culture then. Thank you!

Batman! that was superb. I always enjoy your videos

Oh thank you!! I had such a hard time seeing the last one that I didn’t get to finish it 😭 this is wonderful!

Love the voice over!!! I love watching these videos it's amazing how fashion as changed over the years!

When I saw this had been re-uploaded, my first thoughts were that "those of a delicate constiution" had made YT force you to remove the last shot! But no, just an improvement in the video quality :-)

This was fascinating! Interesting how there are still elements from much earlier "medieval" fashion in evidence (I'm thinking from 1100 - 1200?), just cleverly updated to suit the times and climate, as in the Giornea and the veiling.

Your videos are always both interesting & so educational Izabella, thank you! The point you made here about slashing providing air circulation in hot Italian weather is one I'd truly never heard before - other sources always seemed to just dismiss it as fashion. Intriguing to see how open the gamurra remains even after lacing (with quite a gap at the bottom of the lacing placket) so that'd no doubt provide additional ventilation too? Fascinating!

I just found your channel and I love it! It is very interesting to see in a real person what the dresses of those times looked like. I didn’t know that they included many pieces. Very interesting, also impresses me a lot to know that you sew them too! Wow, good job!

It’s so much easier to see your craftsmanship, thank you!!!

Absolutely stunning, I think this is one of my most favourite outfits you have shown on this channel. I enjoy every upload!

Much better! Thanks for fixing the first round. Much easier to see with these old eyes. Beautiful gown as always.

How do you store your historical clothing? With all the many dressing videos I just imagine a huge wardrobe of the dresses hanging in order of time period 😅

One of the most beautiful gowns

I love your humor while showing this interesting kostuming. ^^ awesome vid!!

Those are the kind of sleeves I had on my Renaissance Faire costume. Except there were buttons fastening up the sides and it had the same long ribbons at the shoulder but with rolled pads as well

I love that you’re doing the voiceovers!

That's some fancy Batman 😂 Your work is amazing as always. Thank you for inspiring me and for all that hard work! ❤❤❤

Thank you for another beautiful video ❤️ I love when you explain extra historical info on each piece, please do keep educating me!

Much, much better! The video was a nice size this time. The narration is quite tinny-sounding so you might want to look into a better microphone. Or perhaps adjust the settings in your audio capture program.

Great channel. Great video. Splendid humor. Very enjoyable. I lost it at „I am Batman“ 👍🏻😂

And the hair, I love the netting, so pretty. You look like a princess.

watching this while making face masks for me and my family, then hopefully making some to donate. coronavirus lockdown has really gotten me interested again in sewing/costume-making after nearly a decade since I last did any sewing! i'm hoping to eventually, in the far-off future, create my own 18th-century costume, and youre videos have been so fascinating and informative! thank you so much, and keep up the good work!

I've been hoping for more videos of styles earlier than the 18th century!! Yay!!

You're adorable (and very informative)! Thanks for the vid. Im considering this now for my local renfest.

Wow I was absolutely not expecting to laugh this much at a historical fashion video, this is amazing. Subscribed at ‘allegedly’ 😂

Being as I'm vision impaired, I get a lot more out of your videos now that you narrate

OH NO the face you made when the cuff wouldnt button xD precious!

Looks so beautiful!! I'm so glad I was born in the 20th century! (Too much hassle in the olden days!) ;)

I love these videos. And you look wonderful in whatever time you place yourself in ;) your talent shines through in every beautiful made dress!

Thank you for the video! That batman scene made me laugh out loud on my chair!! Most hilarious one! Loved this whimsical plot twist in your storytelling, also should be perfect for a tiktok or a GIF :D

Why don't we dress like this anymore? Seriously, these dresses are gorgeous!

The voice overs are great, as is the authentic sounding music

Perfectly done as usual. You teach us so much. Thank you

Beautiful, like all your creations.

"Batman" 🤣😂😂 👏🏻👏🏻 Excelente !!

I just adore the rustle of silk

So lovely! And I loved the combination of the voiceover with the text!

Is it possible that those women shown in unsecured sheer veils in contemporary paintings only wore them when they were setting for their portraits, and used some kind of fastening when they were being active? ;-D

The gamurra and giornea are stunning!! The only think I am not sure of is the hair net. In the paintings from the 1480/90, hair nets never pop up. It's more of a 1500s thing. The usual hairstyle sported in paintings were torchons or braided hair taped with silk ribbons and then the veil. The portrait of lady Tornabuoni shown at the beginning clearly shows the hairstyle without the veil

Beautiful costume and informative video. I have been looking at so many Victorian pieces that this Florintine lady has brought my mind back to why I liked Renaissance fashion so much! Thank you 🙂💖🍁

This outfit reminds me of the costumes used for Romeo andJuliet directed by Franco Zeffirelli.

Omg your content is so wholesome!!!! I love these videos so much

Wow. Great job on the period costume and hairstyle. You look like a living painting.

Thank you. I so enjoy this. So glad I did'nt live then.

Gorgeous! And I like the voice over, it makes it a bit easier to follow.

Fabulous. Your commentary is lovely and the gown is beautiful. Thank you.

I like the Batman comment. Actually, you could be a new breed of superhero, Pope Girl!

Beautifully done as always. The costume is amazing. Will you be doing more Florentine lady looks? The Italian renaissance costume are one of my favourite eras 2nd to the victorian eras.

Thank you for fixing the video ❤

Love the sound of the rustling silk so satisfying

Beautiful clothing. Simple but elegant.

Batman, hahaha! Beautiful as always.

I agree with the oracle husband. Jeje. The green jade pendant was my choice too.

Thank you so much for such a great video !

Love getting to hear your voice!
