Thank you for showing the French hood being worn properly and not just as a headband. Hollywood gets it so wrong with Tudor dress. I also love that the lady in waiting is the same lady from The Girl With A Pearl Earring video!

I love the amount of black fabric used, even for the maids! Black was the most expensive color of dye for centuries and that amount shows how wealthy the royals really were, that Catherine Parr could outfit even her maids in black fabric.

Great production. It's strange to consider that so much of the clothing came in seperate pieces such as the sleeves and the cuffs, but designed to give the impression that it's all one single or two-layered garment.

The maids using the shift from thr day before as their nightgown is making me feel better abt wearing the same sweatpants for 3 days lol

As I sit here in my worn jeans and plain cotton shirt, I am amazed at the textiles and amount of fabric that used to go into clothing. Just beautiful all around!

I always struggle finding good references for non-noble historical clothing before the 18th century, these videos are a godsend!!!

Pinning the decorative panel on a regular kirtle is smart- that way they can look like the have a full brocade underdress without needing one made of a lot of fabric

You can't even imagine how excited I was to see this pop up! Your films are so interesting, entertaining and beautifully executed. Thank you so very much for producing this content for all of us to see and absorb.

[Spoonishpls]

I'm so glad you guys are producing again!

[marielaperriere]

I hadn’t appreciated that these looks were made up by assembling so many separate (and adjustable) components and not continuous garments. It makes good sense for movement at the joints and adapting to body changes in pregnancy etc. So interesting!

This is so much more complex than I would have expected. The partlets, the neckerchiefs, the false sleeves. Amazing.

[maemccleary]

The first one is so simple yet so beautiful. And the lady in waitings clothing is simply exquisite. I can see that this style of dress must have been the inspiration for some of Cerci Lannisters costumes.

I think it's more eco friendly to have clothing made in pieces like this actually; for size changes or needed new parts but not discarding the whole garment like modern people do.

It is great to see a video where the servant dress is included and put into context

[mermaidwannabe]

I'm glad today's clothing styles allow me to get my bra off in 5 seconds soon as I get home from work.

[terrfomp]

I absolutely love this style of Tudor dress! They are gorgeous ❤

[Charlotte-gvto]

we need to bring that front lacing kirtle back lol. a simple throw-on dress with a built in corset/bra, and a nice silhouette too. i want one for myself

[monmothma]

I love those wide bell sleeves matched with the girdle/jewelry "belt". They highlight the waist so nicely and are two of my favorite features of the Tudor silhouette.

[moonargentum]

Lovely as always! I like how you show people of different social statuses, and how similar clothing items could mark those differences in their materials and ways of wearing.

This is awesome! The models all are gorgeous and i love how they 'hid' so many little ties and pins (oh my, so many pins) to make it appear as one tailored dress back then, so clever!
