Wow! So cool to hear it :-) am quite flattered!

I can’t imagine wearing that much fabric….. I’m menopausal….gorgeous but not sustainable 😊 13:22

Could you occasionally make some videos about men’s clothing?

Handsome attire on a handsome man.

Isn't it? Wow!

Meus Deus... quantas sobrebosições feias, mas o final é lindo.

We go from simple, peak into caricature, then back down into ultra simple lol

😂😂😂

Agree

Ah yes very good comment I feel the same way...😂😂😂😂😂 So weird to me that human beings perpetuated this nonsense😂😂 and still do.

Once getting dressed was pure art. Creating unique shspes is the meaning of fashion infustry.

I always wondered how these kind of skirts worked in Las meninas :D I think the support circle got even bigger by that time.

@@akechijubeimitsuhide The Spanish court wore something different. You can see how in the painting the front is flat. They had some crazy fashions in the Spanish court.

Lol, you are so right.

The clothes made today are ment to be disposable, unlike clothes in the past. Even when I was a kid, in the 60s, clothes were made very well.

So glad we get to see a vid on his outfit as well! 🥰 These Prior Attire episodes are SO helpful in understanding how the quintessential look of an era was constructed... When looking at portraits etc we often just see outer layers, which are pretty remarkable in themselves but hard to understand how things like the enormous ruffs or sleeves were engineered without seeing underlayers donned first? The thing I find remarkable is how light & flexible things like the French farthingale actually were! I guess you can see how (despite added weight of skirts & bling) a woman might've been able to dance the era's pretty athletic dance steps in that get-up? Would still take impressive degree of coordination to manage circumference of dress & sleeves, though, I imagine!

From my younger years, I wanted to understand the evolution of clothing. Your videos satisfy this longing!

I disagree - these artcles of clothing provided both functionality and also se4ved as a reminder if your status in society. Tudor England was a society based on hierarchy and status. The more expensive clothes material like silk, damask, and satin were reserved for the uber rich of Tudor England.... the more expensive your dress material was, the higher you were at the pecking order of society. Also, the royalty of those times were expected to showcase their wealth and power through the manner they behaved, ate, wore, etc. They were ambassadors of the country they ruled, and by dressing in expensive clothing and having expensive furnishings and food, they displayed the munifice to all the visiting dignitaries, diplomats and the Royal Court. Also, remember that Tudor England was much colder and wetter place than the United Kingdom of today... These dresses played a functional role in providing warmth and insulation through their multiple layers...

@@danielmathai4780 well yes that's what means dress to impress for a royal or government official in all times = show their status in a way thats acceptable in their society , hollywood stars impress in galas with a different style than p.e. european royals in same occations today , the first with tight provocative haute couture the latter with more conservative couture and ridiculous hats but still both have nothing to do with what we simple mortals wear . Peasants wore multiple layers too for warmth yes but neither me or the video said the layers were ridiculous what is ridiculous and only for status is the farthingale and the tons of lace on neck and sleeves = status= dress to impress = not like me or my peasant anchestors

Poor snobbery is just as bad as any other. If you don’t think that those you deem ‘poor’ are more noble or didn’t dress to the best of their ability, you are sadly mistaken

@@debbylou5729 seriously can you read ? did you even read what 'I wrote ? second best of their ability and had to follow sumptuary laws which forbade any not royal to wear purple and gold thread, any not noble to wear crimson a series of colors velvet damask silk much emroidery many buttons farthingales too much lace too much fabric , a very long veil and lots more to say it plain if you were poor and wore those you were in for fines and jail , a tailor wore too many buttons on his breeches and they police of the time ripped them off put them ripped on the person which otherwise left in underwear and paraded him in underwear and ripped breeches before put him in jail for breaking the sumptuary laws so no best of their abbilities is not equal the ridiculous best of the rich and nobles even if they could somehow have one such garment they werenot allowed to wear it .SUMPTUARY LAWS!! In the times before French Revolution a woman with a fairy like cinderella but without the birthright would only get herself arrested !!!!

​@@annavafeiadou4420 I do remember being taught that purple was restrict only to certain people. I had no idea they could get arested fo wearing it! Thank you so much for sharing.

I made a Disney Belle for one of my offspring, with an absurdly large cage crinoline and it’s a favorite costume for conventions for this exact reason. It’s lovely and admirable but also keeps the creepers off. 😅

I believe Izabela is usually more the sporty and comfy dresser in daily life 😊

I am a bling person and would love to wear these period dresses with assorted costume jewelry of the time.

That's the energy of someone who got into historical costuming for the intellectual challenge of garment construction and I'm here for it because that's basically me, just nowhere near as accomplished. 😊

Looks very dramatic, very powerful.

So much thick fabric, but also so fitted to the shape of the body and so elegantly arranged.

There is plenty of undergarments here!

😂😂😂

The roll supports the shape of the farthingale - especially if heavier skirts are worn

Right?! Says the woman who did more work than called for! :)

They did costumed walks in their then neighborhood nearer the beginning of the pandemic. It entertained their neighbors, and got a lot of coverage.

It is very light. Also- natural, breathable fabrics will keep you much cooler than modern synthetics…

It really isn't that much more: shift (t-shirt), bodies (bra), and bodice (jacket). The bottom had more layers (petticoat and skirt), but skirts are airy and far more comfortable than jeans. And no knickers. But those foundations !!!!

You can go to the loo in seconds- no knickers…

Interestingly, she would be if it were cool out. The entire ensemble is basically made of satin which is not warming in the slightest. Had she been in wool, with only linen under layers and lots more petticoats, then yes she’d be quite warm!

I would have been terrible living back then, a real rebel, probably would have stopped at the chemise!

I am hoping to put a video on his outfit next weekend:-)

​@@priorattire can't wait ! :)

Me st stuff next week. All this is actually very light silk- would need much warmer r layers for colder weather!

@@priorattire !!!!! Whoda thunk it. 😊
