Imagine fainting at a convention and waking up to a Victorian doctor! I think I’d panic thinking I time travelled for a second 🤣

I would love a medical history off shoot! Maybe collabs with other channels? Off the top of my head:
- Victorian apothecary
- Modern drugs that were herbal (i see you metformin)
- Anesthesia through the ages
- Healers witches and wise women
- Outlander reaction video
- Star Trek doctor ranking!

‘Sexy Centaur Lady Look’ actually sounds fabulous 😂 (P.S. Happy to see glimpses of ‘The Gilded Age’)

I would love to hear more about both medicine and bustle dresses! Bustle dresses are my favorite style from the Victorian era and I would love to learn more about them!

Yards and yards of black fabric, and a fluffy white dog. Here is a lady who likes to live dangerously!

This dress is absolutley spectacular!

Also, for repairing the case-- Adam Savage has several videos that feature building or refurbishing cases of various kinds. Might be useful for ideas!

This outfit makes you look like you should be investigating Victorian crimes alongside an eccentric detective. I am loving the Dr. Watson vibes.

Beautiful! I would love to hear more about medical history and their supplies, while covering maybe the reason for the changes over history to when women were allowed "masculine" look and wore pants scrubs. Maybe a historical coverage over a few videos? That would be really awesome!! As a newer subscriber of your channel, enjoy your videos! Thank you for your time and effort to make!

[elisabethnoorduin]

I love this ensemble! All those buttons give it a serious and "don't mess with the doctor" vibe. While still being fashionable for the era.

[amauryy]

Stunning doctor-centaur outfit....I vote yes for more historical medical informations, thank you!

[aprilh]

This old nurse would love old medicine content, and bustle dresses. Love your content

[cindabearr]

More Historical Doctoring, please!
You look fabulous in this, and did such an amazing job on it! If ever someone calls for a doctor at a convention where you're in attendance, there had better be cameras rolling (and hopefully no serious injury)! How freaking cool are you?

[seriliaykilel]

The only Youtuber who can talk intelligently about BOTH bustle dresses and medicine. Not usually topics that overlap, but awesome

That was also an insane amount of buttons to hand sew (though it turned out beautifully).

More MD content is always welcome

[TheOmNomGirl]

Would love a series on historical doctoring!! Your insight on how practices have changed would be really unique I think, especially if you try to explain what the old and new techniques accomplish. So much of the existing content for this topic omit the concepts/reasonings behind historical medical decisions.
A video about hospitals in particular could be super interesting!

[sarahwatts]

Yes to medical history! Plus all those buttons were so worth it, I'm glad you put all that time in

[tracybartels]

I love that you made that- there are so many bits and pieces that go together perfectly. Your biggest risk is people thinking it is so cool that they fake being sick to get the full Victorian doctor experience and see what's in the bag!

[lolajl]

The buttons REALLY makes the dress! Congratulations on finishing the dress ensemble.

[andeehirano]

There is something so satisfying seeing you in this dress. It is like two of the main aspect of your being have come together. Congratulations on finishing this project.

Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman is one of the things I credit for my interest in historical dress (Jane Seymour's loooong hair, tiny waist, and huge skirts *chef's kiss*) so yes, I'd love more doctor stuff videos.

[martamoreira]

If people ask if you are truly a doctor when there is an emergency happening right there, just swing the bag in their face and then offer Tylenol 😆
