Are These Victorian Sweatpants? | Comfy Historical Fashion #Shorts

The Victorians of course didn't have sweatpants, but could this historical fashion garment be the closest equivalent?

This is one of my all-time favourite garments, and for historical clothing, they're also fairly easy to sew and beginner-friendly.

The example I made in this #shorts is all completely handsewn, created with a Scottish wool tartan and lined with linen. I could live in this thing forever, it's so comfortable.

Have I convinced you yet to make "Victorian sweatpants" aka the wrapper? 🥰

Can we bring these back? And make it socially acceptable to wear them in public too? They seem like blankets, but wearable and honestly pretty cute!

This looks so comfortable and I can't wait to make one for myself at some point!

Can we bring this back? I would love to lounge in one of these.

it's nice to see more historical casual wear! I feel like most fashion history content focuses on more fancy clothes

[galacticbutterfly]

I need this in my life!! its like an everyday acceptable robe that won't make you look lazy or stuck in chill mode ....unlike traditional house n bath robes

This is what Cinderella should be wearing as an everyday outfit in the castle rather than her rags.

Reminds me of my grandmother and her many beautiful house coats. I actually have one of them. I love it so much. I can't wear it anymore. She is finally hit that point, a falling apart. I have her perfectly folded up, with a beautiful doll that my grandmother made. Put away in a box.

That 1860-65 one is an absolute must! It looks so feminine wow 🤩

[luellapenvennen]

So beautiful! I had no idea the shape was created by a belt, I thought they were actually fitted to the body/restrictive. Awesome!!

[MsFeline]

I also love that even the historical ones have pockets!

I LOVE THIS, I was wondering if there was a dress equivalent to sweat pants and this fits the bill perfectly! Will definitely be trying this one day, even if I don't make it myself

[morganfreeman]

Dude. I want one. I’m a stay at home, homeschool mom of 3, and this honestly looks sooo comfortable.

Would love to see you make more informative videos on Victorian daily life fashion absolutely enjoyed it, subscribed too 🥰

[carolinemaluca]

The more I see it the more I convince myself that I need one! 😍

[idhika]

Would love it if you d make a mid Victorian period style wrapper. It looks much more flashy and elegant ❤️❤️ although loved this one too seems so comfortable to be in

[tiearakennemore]

I loved the addition of cat hair!! My absolute favorite part of the dress. Lol I too accessorize with pieces of pet fur from time to time. 🤣😂

[samsmom]

The Victorian version of the mumu or house dress. Exquisitely sewn. Kudos!

[DNRG]

This would need to be made of gauze in the tropics!

[caspenbee]

The white laces and orange quilted bits on the one wrapper could totally be seen on designer athleisure today!
