Hello! My name is Victoria, I'm a historical cosume maker and reenactor. I describe my style as historical couture - because I pay special attention to tiny details which make a dress special and dignity. I like to work on achieving a perfect fashionable silhouette of an epoque, including all of the historical underwear with its little secrets. And I also have f strongest passion for awesome dress decor! So join me on my dive into the world of historical haute couture! ---- Here you can find handmade and processing things, tutorials and atmospheric videos, and of course, historical costumes and accessories made by me. ---- Historical periods I am interested in are: Victorian, Edwardian, rarely - Biedermeier and Twenties. ---- I also invite you to join my instagram: instagram.com/victoria.shelg
I found an elliptical crinoline a pain because i'ts not even like a fully round one, because there is more going out backwards, the front of the crinoline cage kept wanting to hit my legs a lot at the front becuase the force keeps wanting to move everything backwards. no wonder they weren't in fashion quite as long. i can see from your video it's kind of doing the same thing.
I would have loved to see the dagger fans opened up. The Parasol fans I think I've seen in Little House on the Prairie. The Pistol fan? 😱 One can shoot an eye out! Um, the fan with the thermometer scares me. The fans with the opera glasses, optical lens, and the monocles, I'm calling them peeping fans. I'm going to go put a tiny mirror and stylus on my fan now. Wow! This was fun!
Simply lovely. I wore a gothic gown vampiress of Versailles for Halloween. Definitely not as graceful, but I managed and got lots of attention. I wore stiletto platforms which might not have been the best idea for this type of costume:)
how do you store those dresses? I'm trying to make myself a ballgown with a similarly full skirt, but my previous ballgown got crushed from uneducated sitting (a situation I won't face with this new dress), and I don't know how to store the dress in my average modern wardrobe
The best way to store crinoline, as I see it, is not to fold it at all. If you have a large enough bed, you can place it on the floor underneath (you can also stretch it out a bit to an oval shape). But here's the second option. Gather the hoops to one side of the circle, pressing them together if possible. Tie this place with a ribbon and hang it on the wall at this point. Hope one of these will work for you! Although, of course, a lot depends on the material of which the hoops are made.
There is also a hoop bag to protect them also. I used to be a civil war reenactor. I used mine a lot. Off season it was easy to store it. I had a hook & placed my hoop bag up so no harm came to my hoops. 🌻💕🌻💕🌻
The point is a couple could have tgeir oun menings of gestures. So that only two can translate it. But, yes, youbare right. Since the fan language was published as a primotion trick it most likely turned out just into romantic game
In the perspective of someone who is obsessed with the Edwardian era there was a copious amount of things in that room that are mid-century at the oldest not to mention the maid currently dusting while the lady was in the room having tea
Your passion for history and love for the hobby of hidtoricsl reenactment makes you a woman twice more interesting and feminine than 90% of women out there. Kudos.
