Wonderful video as usual! Thanks for sharing your “failure”, aka the perfect replication of an existing garment without tweaks 😉 And thanks for being vulnerable in sharing your disappointment with the outcome. Something all makers experience now and then, right? I liked the bonus content at the end too. Can’t wait to see the video with the newly arrived corset, whenever that might be. So grateful that you keep producing such thoughtful content ❤

❤❤❤

I'm excited for the other corset pattern! I have a handmade replica corset I bought when I was more of the first body type, but my body has changed and it really fits weird now. Glad you made this so I know it's not just me. 🙈

I’m afraid what you’re calling a stew of _misogyny_ is actually a _neurodivergent pie_ of literary representation and it has a bitterly ableist aftertaste.

What she said 💯. Everything that these goofus “sciences” are parsing like a sentence, is a product of dna. These are inherited physical phenomena, that have zip zero zilch to do with the actions or proclivities of the person possessing them.

All those accessories...I may have squeed myself!

Frances and Cora remind me of these two elderly ladies I saw getting matching haircuts at a Supercuts in Texas, and the hairdresser was like "wow you two are such good friends" and they said "yes we're BEST friends we've lived together for 40 years" and then KISSED ON THE MOUTH and the hairdresser was like "ahaha such great friends"

In Russia there is an analogue of almond mom. They say to you, “Eat an apple. If you don’t want an apple, that means you’re not hungry.” And we also have a fermented milk product called "kefir". That's why they say, "If you want to eat, drink kefir."

Hi Abby, love your Channel. also love that you tackled revamping your 1898 machine. I am curious, was 1898 a specific year choice or was it only it's the one that was available? Also what products did you use to clean the pieces with? Thank you

Loved my Lady Jane, such a fun show

Just because something is made by a woman does not mean that thing has not been directly or indirectly influenced by misogyny / the patriarchy. Women are a product of their environment / conditioning and upbringing, like everyone else. Women in the last 1000 - 1500 years have been influenced by patriarchy. Direct and indirect influences of oppressive systems are still byproducts of said system. That’s the nature of systemic oppression, especially as it relates to and is compounded by time and thus history. Misogyny can exist even in the hearts of women. Thus, internalized misogyny… like internalised racism, internalised homophobia, internalised transphobia etc… the Margaret Atwood poem “Male Fantasies” speaks perfectly to this. “You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”

Hate the pigeon breast look. Weird!

LOL. Party pillows? JLo must use glue. Everything but the nipples is on display. Love your channel.

My grandmother told me she used rags folded to fit. Cold water removes blood. You would have a set of "rags". An apron would hold it in place.

I'd add a folded over pad below your belt.

"i'm not that thrilled" me after every single thing i manage to sew for myself lmao

I think we should bring back the hair jewellery - its not gross at all, i actually find it incredibly moving. Its bizarre but when you said 'funeral biscuits' i knew exactly what you meant despite never having been to a funeral with them or having heard of that custom. Makes me wonder if i came into contact with it as a child too young to consciously remember but it lodged deep down somewhere because it did feel familiar. As for the gloves - i wear day gloves regularly and my white kid gloves are the most practical, easiest to dress up or down and prone to getting dirty. If someone gave me a replacement in a goody-bag, even at a funeral - i would be very happy! I always need/can make use of white leather day gloves.

I am a quilter. I am interested in all sewing issues. Thanks for your channel. It interests me. PS my grandma had a treadle Singer. My Aunt inherited it. Thankfully she is an avid sewer. I'm okay with that.

Washing internally for women prevents staining of underwear. This only requires water, not excessive douches. Normal excretions are normal. Smell only occurs when excretions sit with bacteria for a time. Herbs are quite effective, but require extensive knowledge. Let's hear it for witches! Herbalism is a lost art. We need to study this.

I'd probably want to wash in beer😂!

Didn't Egyptians shave their heads and wear wigs for this reason? Having lice is very uncomfortable. I can't imigine our ancestors accepting this. Herbs, probably known to old women could have cured them.

Can you share you recommendations of fashion history and garmet skills books? I'm a recent subscriber.

I recently watched a video the on English Queen's Milner (Camilla). Her wedding hat used wheat. Plants can take the place of birds.😊 I only have 1 hat. It is a canvas explorer type hat. I really enjoy seeing hats, but I don't enjoy wearing them. I am 68 years old. 😊

Just recently, I've learned to appreciate the art involved in fashion. Previously, I saw entitlement, classical, etc. I won't buy a garment without pockets. Old hippy here. Function and comfort are how I select my clothes. I'm learning a different point of view. Men's wear is more functional and sturdy. I love men's cargo shorts.

I live in the county that was Lady Jane Grey's family home. Beautiful country park that is open to he public with the house ruins

Why couldn't Kim have worn a copy to fit her body? Her lack of styling was also a travesty. Her coloring and hair did not do the garnet justice. Kim is beautiful, but she needs to dress for her shape.

Thanks!

Her silhouette is horrible. It looks like she is deformed. Do her stylists hate her? The designer was blamed. Sad.

Interesting that Mother Goose, a nursery favorite, wore a witch's hat.

Loved the ending transformation!

PS, I think the corset you made is really beautiful. Finding the perfect bra takes a lot of effort (and then it gets discontinued and you have to start over). I assume finding the perfect (pre-made) corset would also be challenging.

Do you really think that working is all that much better today? I have permanent health issues due to my previous employment and so do many many people (most?). Would you enjoy moving heavy furniture all day or delivering heavy packages all day long? Would you enjoy missing your children growing up or your aging relatives end of life due to travel or risk of spreading disease that could kill them? working 2 - 3 day shifts (I used to work 16 -18 hours per day every day at least)? exposed to the rain, snow, excessive heat and temps well below freezing? kidney injury due to dehydration? I have only had one job that was not some version of Hell, honestly, and that was a temporary one only lasting a few weeks sadly. Life is just hard and work is the extremely high price we pay to survive, today, yesterday, and all the days before.

I wish that at least someone would tell us about the wedding traditions of the 1700s. There is no information at all about this. Nowhere!((((

Mom used to ask me, "And what are you up to, Lady Jane?," which I never understood until I saw one of my fave movies, Lady Jane, with Helen Bonham Carter. I'm loving this show, too. Much different and I'm liking the twists.

Abby is cosplaying as Morgan? Love it!

is there a tutorial or pattern for that blouse? I really love it!

Female beauty is closely associated with long, luxuriant hair and facial and bodily symmetry. This is biological the bias towards it is of evolutionary origin -- means that a woman is healthy, and more likely to produce healthy children.

It's giving jealous ... spend your time doing something better than dissing

"Red-heeled shoes" were a thing at the court of King Louis XIV and continued until the French Revolution to denote male-only royal favourites. As late 1830-1834 French Ambassador to London Prince Maurice Talleyrand sported red-heeled buckled shoes to formal functions at the English court and at his own Embassy. He powdered his long, luxuriant wavy blond hair from youth to the end of his 84 years. He only used white powder, but it heavily scented with amber (= ambergris-- a heavy, earthy scent). When wearing court dress, he favoured dark red, shades of plum, or blue embroidered velvet or satin coats with knee britches with white silk stockings, although he would wear fashionable trousers and cutaway coats and top hats for daily wear. Even in old age, he was elegantly slim and only slightly stooped; it was said he even limped gracefully (HIs nickname was "the lame devil," as he was a shark of a politician & negotiator) -- all his life he wore an iron brace on his right lower leg to correct a congenital club-foot.

Sounds like a fun summer watch 🙂

I powder (white bentonite clay + cornstarch or arrowroot starch) my naturally fine, flyaway hair to make it thicke,r and find that the natural oil in my hair is sufficient to hold the powder satisfactorily without pomade. I have (and like) grey hair so love the natural pale colour; this makes my make-up more vivid, so I use paler colours; I really like the effect. To prevent hair loss, I comb well (with wide-tooth comb) and massage my scalp each night before I go to bed.

I literally made a pocket to wear at home for my phone and whatever odd things I need. I tie it on. I added pockets to some of my dresses. It’s ridiculous. I do hope that we can continue to have them, instead of what will probably happen, which is they will stop giving men pockets, too.😂

Johnson and Johnson Baby Powder still used talc until 2023. Reprehensible bustards. I have ceased buying all products from them as of 2021. They lie and lie and lie.

22:09 This explained this so beautifully! Thank you and your friend! And yes, a 14 inch waist is crazy small. She looked pretty active at the shows. She doesn’t seem to be unable to breathe. I wonder if she had ribs removed or if it really was just her mother keeping her cinched up to the size of a child 24-7? I do think she was a pretty woman. And I hope the African American gentleman just agreed to that silliness so he could visit Paris, where, no doubt, he had a grand time. It’s sad we don’t know what happened to him.✌️♥️

Not you listing off my exact measurements for the second antique corset and me considering turning on native youtube notifications just for you

I actually wondered if she had ribs removed. Which would not surprise me. ✌️♥️ Kim has said blatantly that she has body dysmorphia, so it’s no surprise that a tiny waist was more important to her than breathing.

Very cool video! Beautiful work as always. Having recently acquired a White treadle machine, it's a little weird to watch you on a Singer treadle. It rotates backwards! Ahhh! hahaha

oh yay! i remember the garden tease from when you shared about the home when you moved in, it's looking lovely ^_^

I love these! And yes, those are the perfect gloves for it!😂🐩

I kept thinking about this video, specifically your comment about how some technical fibers are just chemical versions of wool. I needed some clothing for fall/winter hiking, but new wool was way too expensive. I ended up going to the thrift store and buying some old 100% wool mens suits to "harvest" the cloth for new pants (or see if i could modify them to make what I need rather than buying new.) I'm a woman but men's clothes seem to have better cloth. Thanks for covering this topic. I've been thrifting natural fibers for years, but feeling a bit self conscious that my versions of things look funny sometimes. (Last year I wore a thrifted business style 100% silk blouse as a baselayer hiking. It was perfect. But hanging on a line outside my tent, it did stand out😂.)
