I read an article recently about how Indian historians are working with places that used to make Dhaka muslin to bring it back! The plant is not extinct, it was found wild and is being grown again but it's still very rare. The knowledge used to make the muslin has pretty much not survived, but they're trying to recreate it. Super cool fashion history.

That chemise gown style of dress could very easily work with today's fashion trends. And those pink ribbons and stockings! Cue lots of yearnful sighing. Also, a big *THANK YOU* for mentioning the _real_ purpose of the stays - to support the bust, not restrict the waist like the movies suggest!

Great video, I really enjoyed it! Something worth mentioning about Dhaka muslin - there's now a project called Bengal Muslin that aims to recreate the plant ("phuti karpas") as they managed to DNA sequence preserved leaves in the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. Dhaka muslin had a thread count of 800 to 1200, and their project has currently achieved a 400 thread count muslin. The BBC actually did an article on it earlier this year called "The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make
", it's a really fascinating read into the history of Dhaka muslin and the attempts to recreate it!

Nothing gives us more comfort in difficult times than an outfit that starts with tights sewn up at the top with a clock pattern and tied up with a silk ribbon.

I live in Florida where it is ridiculously hot and humid for 9 months of the year. This is one of the few dresses I’ve seen on this channel that I think I could wear here without passing out from the heat! ❤️

The inhuman SCREECH that came out of me when I saw that Crows Eye posted another Getting dressed in video is between me, my phone, and the small dog in my lap that I spooked....

I like that in addition to showing us this beautiful dress from history, you’ve paired it with the reality that its fabric also brought the exploitation of colonized people.

Could we get an Edwardian Era video? And some more gentlemen's clothing too. I've noticed that when it comes to historical clothes it's mostly focused on the women, in my experience.

Welcome back!! I was sad to see your absence but it was worth it for safety reasons. I can't wait for more videos, and hopefully an Italian Renaissance look!!

The toile de jouy detail is so chic (and fashionable in 2021!)

I watched this woman put on 50 different articles of clothing after deciding I was too lazy to wear pants today. We've come a long way, baby.

"The purpose of stays was to support the bust more than reduce the waist" SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

The fabric on that bum
Also anyone else looked at the maids garments? No just me. I'll be over here in the corner fangirling over the green petticoat and apron with a bib.

Hello! I was just wondering if the Dhaka Muslin originated in Dhaka which is the capital of Bangladesh? I know that it was also the place where artisans made lawn cotton fabric as well before the British stole all the looms to take back to England.
