Let's make some historical skirts for lazy historybounding! Want to try historical dress, but also laze around the house? This is the video for you! In a single day I made five historically inspired skirts specifically to be lazy and keep on historybounding while staying cozy at home. It's essentially cottagecore meets 90s gamer. I'm pretty excited for you all to see them.
These skirts are modeled after skirts and petticoats from different historical eras, and so you can feel your best Victorian self, romp about in 18th century fashion, or take on variations throughout history! The world of historybounding and historical petticoat fashion is at your fingertips!

I’m a big fan of lazy Historybounding. Given that I’m disabled and mostly bedbound, I wear nighties all day every day. So I just switched to wearing shifts and chemises. Fully historical, fully comfy. I also made a wrapper using an 18thC banyan pattern that I (using extra fabric I added there) pleated over the shoulders from waist to waist, which gives a very 1860s silhouette. It’s made out of thin cotton bedsheets that used to belong to my great grandmother, and it’s perfect for chucking on over my shift or chemise for those times when I need to be a bit more presentable, but I don’t want to get dressed (like for when support workers or delivery people come in). I’m also planning on making some warm petticoats for next winter (it’s currently almost summer here, and I’m not happy about it), because what’s better than wearing a blanky? Well, I usually can get away with wearing an actual blanket on my lap- perks of being a wheelchair user. But still - blanky attached at the waist seems like a nice idea. For those days when I can’t be in bed, but I’m not actually out of the house.

@LizCapism 2 года назад

@@mikilaylar97 eh, I find the middle of winter to be pretty nice. It’s never cold, but at least it’s not hot. And this morning, before it got sunny and ruined it, was also not hot. Drizzly and grey, which I’m a particular fan of. I really am not made for this weather. I belong back in Scotland where my family came from. Unfortunately, I’m just far enough removed to not automatically get a visa, and no way is any country willingly taking on someone who can’t work and needs to be supported in very expensive ways. So I’m stuck here. I’d move to outside of Toowoomba again, but while the weather is better, the people are most definitely not (no offence, but there’s a reason I moved back to Brisbane, and it wasn’t because I missed humidity). I do miss the fog though. Very impressive fog at Highfields. If I knew anyone and could afford it, I’d move to Tasmania. But that’s unlikely. Looks like I’ll just have to deal with the atrocious weather and bloody awful heat. It’s like trying to live in soup- hot and wet. Ugh.

@varinajones7444 2 года назад

I love these lounge petticoats and aspire to such advanced loafing as the backwards ottoman pose. I prefer my loungewear not have a waistband, so my favourite historybouding loungewear is (are?) extremely floofy chemises, such as Italian Renaissance or Tudor-style, made of bed linen from a charity shop. Flannel sheets are superb for cosy warmth. Dinosaur sheets are excellent for amusing yourself and any delivery people you may encounter that day. I recently found dinosaur princess flannel sheets and I will probably live in these until April

@MiffoKarin 2 года назад

I often find myself walking around in nightgowns, dresses and skirts, so this is an excellent idea and I will definitely make myself some simple loafing skirts. My way to determine if a skirt is lounge worthy is if I can sit with my legs crossed without fighting the fabric, and if it can cover my feet when I curl up for warmth.

Yes! The video games were my “cross-legged” test. Hurrah for sitting cross-legged freely!

@Rozewolf 2 года назад

The petticoats are delightful. I've long realized that my garb (sca 950's norse) is far more comfortable than modern clothing. For my lazy history bounding, I've been making tunics for daywear, and undertunics as sleepwear. I have plans for banyans in the spring, unless of course i decide to make one out of the thickest flannel I can find.

@LizCapism 2 года назад

That sounds great! One of my favourite "cozy" items is my Herjolfsnes dress, but that wasn't "easy" so I didn't talk about it in this video. Perhaps another time? Stay cozy, my dear!

@krysab6125 2 года назад

YES! Historical loafingwear! This is extremely relevant to my interests/level of sewing skill! I made a Skjoldehamn-style norse-era hood out of unlined polar fleece (because it's what I had - hey, wool is bloody expensive, and this is practical and waterproof!) It's easily the comfiest thing I own, is pretty fool-proof to make (all squares and rectangles), and apparently 'screams Viking' according to my horrified mother!

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 2 года назад

Don't feel too bad about using polarfleece.... I'm still working on the "historybounding" part of my loafing wardrobe so currently most of my loafwear is polarfleece (storebought PJ pants in ridiculous patterns and homemade sweatshirts in the most ridiculous patterns I could find at the fabric store, or sometimes leftovers or remnants) because 1) it wears like iron, I've seriously worn garments of that stuff for a decade and they're still fine long after I've rotted through cotton, 2) stretchy = comfortable, 3) machine washable, and 4) unless you get it full of sawdust or cotton lint from washing it with towels, it is ALWAYS soft against the skin, which I find especially important since I haven't worn a bra in almost two years now! And if it should start getting a bit pilled on the interior, two minutes with a hairbrush and it's all nice again. Flannnel also makes for pretty awesome and inexpensive loafwear, I have done two rectangles-and-gores housedresses in purple flannel and if I find more flannel of an appropriate shade I'll make more!

I love that Loafing Skirts are now added to the lexicon along with Secret Pants. I tried to explain to my mom why I wanted to make Victorian split skirts and all I said was "It's Secret Pants!" As for shirts, Folkwear has some tops that look lounge-worthy like the Cheesemaker Smock, Ghanaian Smock or Romanian Blouse.

@rachelboersma-plug9482 2 года назад

Sensationally good content. Lazy history bounding is everything I want. I don't own sweatpants. My lazy uniform is a wrap skirt over whatever I wore to bed (t-shirt and undies, or thermal top and leggings), so switching over to petticoats will be easy. My teenaged daughter sleeps in a linen shift, and she rolls out of bed and into her "hobbit skirt", and calls it dressed. If she wants to be warmer, or fancier, she puts on a bodice (somewhere between stays and a waistcoat).

@LizCapism 2 года назад

This sounds magical. All the props to your daughter! (And you.)

@ragnkja 2 года назад

“Somewhere between stays and a waistcoat” sounds like the 18th century garment that the English called jumps and the French called a corset.

@rachelboersma-plug9482 2 года назад

@@ragnkja It's somewhat like a dirndl bodice, with front buttons, deep square neck at back and front, high armholes, a straight bottom edge at the natural waist, and quite a lot of shaping due to lots of panels. It's wildly inauthentic but it looks very hobbit-y.

@melissat7307 2 года назад

This was perfect! Last winter I made a modified 18th century bedgown out of cozy flannel with giant patch pockets after doing a "proper" one from the B&T sew along. It definitely improved my loafing.

@katherinemorelle7115 2 года назад

Yes! I made a wrapper from a banyan pattern, but I added extra fabric worth at the shoulders. Then I pleated over the shoulders, back waist to front waist, and it gave me an 1860s silhouette. In very thin cotton bedsheets that used to belong to my great grandmother, so it’s light enough that I can wear it even in a Brisbane (subtropical Australian) summer. Highly recommend. It’s so swishy too, and it’s the perfect thing to chuck on for when I don’t want people to see me in just my nightie (a chemise or shift), but I don’t want to get dressed. I’m disabled, so I don’t get fully dressed unless I’m leaving the house, and I only do that once a week. The wrapper is amazing and I recommend everyone have one.

Fun!!! So many good lounging skirts! My goal for this weekend is to make a reversible circle skirt that ties on like an 18th century petticoat. I need to cut my circle skirts as two half circles anyways, so having it split into front/back halves doesn’t change seam placement at all.

@ragnkja 2 года назад

If you make the waist measurement a couple cm too large, you get an overlap in the sides so that there’s no visible gap (but still access to whatever pockets you may wish to wear under the skirt).

Thank you! I was looking for some easy ways to make a skirt with flexible waist that isn't elastic, mainly because it's getting unreasonably cold and I hate layering pants. This video showed me, that I don't have to worry about openings in the bach or on the sides showing what's under the skirt. Thank you again!

@LizCapism 2 года назад

I’m so glad! With long sweaters, coats, shirts, or extra layers, the opening doesn’t matter. I hope you have a great time with the ones you create.

@ragnkja 2 года назад

If you make the panels of a skirt with side openings slightly wider than half your waist each, they overlap so that you don’t have to worry about anything being visible through the side slits, and you can also access tie-on pockets through them, which means you don’t need to make pockets in each skirt.

Indoors I wear second hand velvet skirts from Monsoon to sit about reading or knitting.

I was not allowed out of the house without wearing a skirt/dress - to the extreme event that when I was living with my G-ma in Iowa in the early 60's when elementary aged girls were allowed to wear pants on PE days, and low temp days, my mother, who had come to visit over the holidays that year, upon finding out that I had worn pants to school brought a dress to school and told my teachers that I was not to be allowed to get on the bus home without changing into a dress. I graduated from high school in 1971, left home for college, moved into blue jeans, and have not looked back.

Just revisiting your video after working on my 18th century plaid wool petticoat to reminisce about how easy this 100% handsewn project was going to be for me. I lament asking my husband about the waistband which he thought would look better in self fabric. Matching plaid stripes from a pleated skirt to a waistband is tedious. Trying to keep the waistband from being floopy or bulky is mind boggling. So, here I am several days past when my lazy project would have been wearable had I just used a ribbon tie waistband instead. The moral is, don't ask for opinions and keep it simple when you want an easy lazy skirt. Alas, I expect the finished petticoat to be gratifying. Thanks Liz for all of your fun content!

This is also perfect as is or shorter hem for HB-ing options for yardwork or even light landscaping. I'm bummed when I have to choose between wearing my warehouse job clothes on my day off or ruining my nicer clothes.

I love the idea of petticoats as loafing attire 😁👏 I'll have to figure out if I can make one that would work for my own needs!

@chaotic-goodartistry3903 2 года назад

I made myself an 1890s wrapper, closed with snaps and a ribbon belt, giant pockets, and made out of this wonderful minky fabric which looks like velvet but is so cozy. I look fancy yet am so comfortable and have what is essentially just a blanket-robe. It's great. I wear it all the time.

@LizCapism 2 года назад

That sounds ideal in just about every way.

@barbaraferron7994 2 года назад

I like circle skirts easy to wear and make and with the recent fashion innovation of high low hems you don't have to get the hem perfect.

@LizCapism 2 года назад

I love that perspective on high-low hems! I hadn't thought of that.

@barbaraferron7994 2 года назад

With my build if I make or buy a skirt that is equal length all around on the rack it hangs low in front and high in back when I put it on, so I put the waist hole towards the front of the circle not in the middle.

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 2 года назад

This is just what I needed, since the plague started I've been sewing again and the historical stuff really gets my attention but my rule is whatever I make must be everyday wearable, since I already have a closet full of pretty stuff I never wear because I'll wreck it or it's not comfy for lounging and I never go anywher fancy. I've got a handful of sweatshirts I've made from polarfleece (it's comfy, washable, durable and doesn't grate my nips off if I'm not wearing a bra which I haven't done in almost two years now), a linen tunic style tshirt that I'm going to make more of cause I wore it all summer (both copied from purchased garments), and I made two medieval-style rectangles-and-gores flannel housedresses that I use for loungewear. I've also got a linen dress in the same style and two short linen shifts I wear as undershirts. I'm onto second mockup of a half-corset to try to use as a sports bra in the hopes it'll be more comfortable than a bra, and I've made a few shirts and blouses and before summer, i need to finish the linen medieval summer kirtle pinafore to wear over those blouses... I aim for fabric efficiency, durability and comfort. Thank you for giving me more ideas!! Also, Hawkins Cheezies are BEST Cheezies!!!

@LizCapism 2 года назад

I was waiting for someone to comment on the Cheezies! Are you Canadian by chance? I thought they were a Canadian thing… maybe I’m wrong. But this sounds like a FANTASTIC wardrobe - and I quite agree with you about the need for nip protection!

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 2 года назад

@@LizCapism Eheehee, we eventually find each other, whether it's through our half-assed use of metric or our unique snacks! I'm in Ontario. Another good reason for polarfleece. And now that I have a princess seam bodice block, I am invinceable! And will make all the things out of all my scraps!

I plan on doing the same with some leftover fleece fabric and making a sort of mini-cape out of it. I can't wear some modern sweaters (especially the ones with tightly woven fabric as the top layer) because they feel too restricting.

@cd2street Год назад

My go to loafing clothes in winter is woollen Herjolfness type dresses. They have plenty of swish and they are loose and so comfortable and warm. I have 4 and have been living in them ( its winter in Australia). Two are pure wool two are wool rich blends with just a touch something synthetic in them but they all wash like a dream in the washing machine with wool wash, using a wool cycle set with cold water. They are fine every time. I spin all the water out of them, give them a shake and hang them on a supportive hanger. They dry so fast too!! I do love the 18th C type 'expanding' skirts too and I have a couple made of pure wool that also go through the washing machine with no problems at all. I do prewash all the wool I use to ensure there is no shrinkage post construction but my test swatches reveal that there isn't much shrinkage anyway. :) If you had a remnant of your skirt Liz then put a 10cm square in with your next woollen wash load and you will probably find it survives just fine. It means you can wear your wooden skirt stress free as if there is any spills then you just head for the washing machine :)

I swear you were talking to me. I, too, want skirts that are sweatpants. As someone else commented, this is very doable for a beginer *points to self* and as you said, low risk because it's just for the house. Let's all make cozy lazy blankets for our legs. Thank you for the inspiration!
