Wow! This 1910s vibe really resonates with me. I like your capsule wardrobe videos, but this one is my jam. I already have some similar pieces in my wardrobe. Now I can find/make pieces with more intention. Also - I saw a dress at Bloomingdales that is very similar to your July 4th dress. I was on the escalator so didn't see the price. Anyways, your is prettier.
I'm glad everyone is liking it. I was worried that since it's more on the modern spectrum, it wasn't creative or original enough. I guess I forgot that basic pieces are a lot more practical for the majority of people.
I'm loving the way your client briefs are taking you in different directions. You consider all their needs and preferences so well and this is a lovely outcome 😊
I live in South Texas. We tend to avoid man-made fabrics since they tend to not allow the skin to breathe. Most of the clothing I make has been cotton, linen, cotton-linen blend, silk, and light and mid weight wool.
Such a lovely capsule! I love the 1910s, especially the loose, drapey feel. I'm currently pregnant, and I often wear a size XL viscose dress from my thrift shop (I'm a size S usually) of which I tie the side ties over my bump. It looks super edwardian because it's long and all the extra fabric drapes so well. The oversized sleeves look really edwardian too. Also, it's super breezy so I think the loose silhouette is the way to go in the future. Bonus: I didn't have to cut into the dress so when I'm done wearing it, I can put it back in the shop for a plus size lady to enjoy.
Central Texas, here! I bet a skirt in poly chiffon with a linen lining would be a very practical part of any Texan's wardrobe. Linen's comfort on hot humid days is astonishing, which I only came to fully appreciate after wearing some recent sewing projects. My versatile double-gauze cotton dress--Gaul with sash or Regency with short stays--is no-where near as cool as my Italian chemise in shirt-weight linen or my bias sheath made from IKEA's upholstery linen. So impressed with the difference, I made a linen slip to wear under my modern wardrobe and made a linen liner for bras, which has been a revelation in how much more comfortable a support garment can be.
Thank you for sharing this capsule wardrobe. I had wanted to incorporate history-bounding into my daily wardrobe but felt intimated by all the other eras I'm interested in. It comes down to wanting to maintain the modern underpinnings but getting the aesthetic. I had narrowed my focus to the 1910s/Titanic era as well as the 1890s-early 1900 before the pigeon breast look. This definitely gives me a jumping-off point of how to adapt all of my truly victorian, wearing history, black snail patterns, and the victorian dressmaker patterns into history-bounding looks.
I happened on this video after watching the one on what to wear on your legs in the winter if you wear skirts, a topic close to my heart right now. I will be watching all of your wardrobe videos, I'm sure, and rewatching this one. It's just about perfect. I love the clothes you put together and the section on doing the digital versions. I'm a big fan of both wardrobes and drawing them digitally. This one has a bit of an Ivey Abitz vibe which I just love.
Lovely! Watching this, and the previous capsule, kind of feels like cheating. Like someone watching someone workout through the window of a gym to get tips from a personal trainer. LOL! Because I love so many of these pieces, I'm sitting here like "Yup! Oh, and that one. And definitely that! Don't I already have a pattern for something like that? That fabric looks like one in my stash!" ...so even though these capsules aren't for me, I'm getting a lot of inspiration.
I like that sewing machine behind u, its cool. And that secretary cabinet, u don't c many of those around, and my mother owns one, inherited from my great grandfather.
I really love that you share these. It really shows the thought process well so even if you have really different clothing requirements you can still get useful information from these videos.
I really really love these capsule wardrobe videos of yours. The art is so pretty. Unfortunately for me, they're very inspiring, and they make me want to add even more projects to my ever-growing list.
If Kenzie is looking for patterns she could use the (free) American Duchess cape pattern taken off of an original cape from the 19teens. And check out Folkwear, they have an early 1900s shirtwaist pattern and a 1903 split/riding skirt pattern (which I highly recommend) which could be kept as is or easily hacked to be either a skirt or trousers and give a lovely shape
19teens is my absolute favorite era and I think it is one of the eras easier to history bound. This is a really fabulous capsule, and it gave me some great ideas! I hope your client is able to put together all the looks. I think your ideas on fabric choices were pretty spot on. I lived in TX for half my life...linen, rayon and cotton were my gotos year round. Even very light poly chiffon I found intolerable.
I love this series. Whatever era you make it always gives me inspiration on how to plan more vertisile pieces when I plan my sewing and spot the key elements that gives of different vibes.
You are marvelous, your process is outstanding and seeing the possibilities on the computer would be addictive for me. Thank you so much for this video.💖❤️
I have an idea for a historybounding video that might useful to a lot of us : Exploring ways to make skirts convertible in length. (to go from socially appropriate knee length/midi to historical full length). My ideas so far : cut a skirt from a historical pattern, but shorter (like Bernadette did) and hem it with a sturdy facing, adding binding to the very edge. Cut the remainder of the pattern out of the same fabric so that they'll overlap, sew it & hem it too. Then lots of small buttons can be added to the inside of the skirt hem, and buttonholes or loops to the top of the 'extension' ! Once buttoned, a quick running stitch will keep everything flush and the contrasting biais should hide the 'seam'. The conversion wouldn't be instantaneous because of the running stitch, it would need to be planned in advance, but you'd still end up with a 2-in-1 garment ! I figure it might work with a discreet zipper as well, but it would need to be crazy long. What do you think ? Given your expertise in sewing, you might already know it doesn't work... But if it sounds like a worthwhile endeavour, I would love a video about this 😉
I love these! So inspiring. Super tempted do do one for myself, just can't settle on a time period. Currently debating whether to do an eclectic capsule wardrobe that combines an 18th century jacket with an Edwardian tea gown or to make 7 mini capsule wardrobes 3-4 pieces each for individual time periods...🤔
Check out Karolina Zabrowska, her new video is The Problem With Its All Been Done Before. Looks, details are repeated over time. I expect that the details you like have been combined already. What makes an outfit work is what is demonstrated here in Mariahs video. Getting the proportions balanced, considering pattern, colour and texture. Before you follow through with real pieces, try on similar items together to make sure the proportions suit your body. I like the 1930s but the 1970s interpretation can be easier to wear.
@@michellebyrom6551 Thank you, I love Karolina, she's amazing! True story, it's all been done before. I love the 1930s as well:) I have experimented a bit and the most successful outfits were either adaptations/historically inspired or combinations between one genuinely antique piece and a few contemporary items. It's all about playing and having fun, isn't it? :)
While I am not really attracted to the teens, I really love watching your capsule wardrobes for inspiration. In fact during this one, I started to think about a capsule wardrobe, for summer, inspired by ancient Rome! Interesting, don't you think? My colors would be whites, blues, spring green, and because I want to be bougie, deep purple. What do you think? I don't have your skill with digitizing, but I am going to do some research and see what I can figure out.
I appreciate the thought that goes into mixing time periods. If I were the client, I would pick more muted, as opposed to earth tones. That is not a criticism of this client. It does make me wonder how to incorporate various chromas into history bounding wardrobes. Would other elements of your designs have been different if the inspiration colors had all been tints?
I really enjoy your videos. I like the capsule videos more when you explain the inspiration as you go. Instead of the explanation before we see the process. I really enjoy your videos
Oh, wow. I NEED that long lines sleeveless jacket. Just yesterday I was lamenting not having something I could wear for a slightly chilly morning that is going to get hotter in the evening (typical later summer-early fall, late winter-mid spring days where I live.) I settled on a zipper front jacket, but with sleeves, it was very warm by the evening. That jacket you designed is PERFECT, and I especially loved the drop details in the front.
PLEASE do more of these videos! This was SO inspiring and exciting! I loved everything about this content and its presentation. You have a new subscriber 😊
🤩Mariah: Truly impressed how you developed this 🚢Titanic inspired 📚HistoryBounding Capsule Wardrobe. 🤗Enjoyed watching your creative process. 💕 Love the flexibility of your pieces, attention to detail, color palette, and responsiveness to your client needs (incl. 🥵climate requirements). 👏 🦋Those long vests are beautiful & completely enraptured my feminine sensibilities. 😉Not a cosTuber, but do love fashion. ✅ Thx to the algorithm bringing you to my attn, I'm now going to check out more of your content. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
This is incredible! I got so excited when I nears about the compression - I have to wear it daily too! It’s both my favorite and most frustrating clothing item! Absolutely love this video👏🏼👏🏼
Everything about this project speaks to me! I've been wanting to incorporate some more historical-ish pieces in my wardrobe. I even bought a Redthreaded 1910's corset (I was lucky enough to snag a sample in my size!) when I started becoming interested in historical dress. The problem is...I had no idea where to start. This color palette is perfect for me. I live in Florida and prefer layering. I always wear pants or long skirts (with tights underneath) because I work in an office, and some maniac always turns the AC down way too low. Like, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you'd designed this wardrobe for me, lol.
Hi, I am a new subscriber- your channel just popped up since I am interested in the history of fashion- I have, in vain, searched for and asked two other You Tuber's a question about Medieval or Renaissance, a film, Romeo and Juliet, the ONLY VERSION FOR ME, 1967, concerning the helmet like head coverings worn by the older women- Juliet's mother wears one at the party where the lovers meet. The "helmet" appears to be decorative plastic which they didn't have! Nitpickers who love film, point to the multi-use of grommets! on the men's wear- you really have to search, press STOP, etc! I figure, Shakespeare's poetry and Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whitting do tend to keep one's attention! Maybe you know- they aren't made of gold and silver, costly thread- I used to sew and also adore the Edwardian Era clothing- even hobble skirts! I love vintage but, being older can't find what I regard as vintage or if I locate an item, it's damaged or too expensive. Your site and business are the ideal solution. I'm keen to catch up on older posts! Namaste from Canada ( where I live you can't find much in the way of fabrics, even sewing stores and much of it is "chintzy" now- not real chintz which is wonderful for lots of projects - I use the word in the old fashioned sense, as in poor quality- but the prices are ludicrous, even end of the roll...So I'll be interested to see how you interpret historic silhouettes for modern women so used to jeans and tees!
I love these videos it’s so fun to think of the wardrobe like this it’s something I’ll keep in mind in future as I get better at sewing. I’d love to have a whole me made wardrobe one day xx
Wait, you’re in Illinois? Me too! The heat wave has been outrageous this past couple weeks. Love this capsule! It looks like it could blend in with everyday clothes but be fun enough for the wearer to feel like a little bit of history.
Interestingly enough - I have a dress/vest similiar to the swooshy blue vest/dress but different and cream/med. brown/gold - cross over/sash, that can be worn as a dress, a top, a vest and I've loved it. I tend to pair it with straight black pants, and a black jumper for winter, and wear it on it's own or over a thin pair of trousers for summer! I've been looking into doing some history bounding - and this particular one is really, really up my alley.
Oh and I had a pair of those swooshy pants in georgette - unfortunately the fabric disintegrated within a couple of wears because it wasn't hardy enough.
@@MariahPattie thanks! I've got them saved to my playlist now! love the styles in your video, maybe Kenzie could get some palazzo pants if she didn't want to add to her complicated sewing as they look similar to the wide-leg pants
Me : faint at seeing the title of the video because it's just my favourite time period in term of clothing and I want to incorpore more clothe from that era in my wardrobe !
I’m in south Texas. Right now 9-2021 It feels like 95* 79% humidity beach weather On thanksgiving we are still wearing beach weight clothes It’s hot and humid at least 345 days Bring on the natural fibers!!
very cool video. I found your channel cause of the world building but I've always wondered how people come up with clothing styles for their worlds & characters.
I love these videos and could watch them all day. The only bad thing about this playlist is that it's not longer. Have you ever done a video on your Outlander Capsule? I feel like I've seen you mention it in a few videos and I've even seen the mock-up graphic, but I'm missing the video on that! Also, I loved this one! There were so many parts of this capsule that resonated with me and has got me thinking hard about what to sew next! Do you have any pattern recommendations to replicate some of these?
i get a little fascinted watching you making the sketches in adobe illustrator, along with the changes to create new pieces, all from the same base shapes. once upon a time many moons ago, i could easily learn new programs. not so much anymore. how long did it take you to learn to use the program in this manner?
i took a community college graphic design class somewhere around 2014, and I've been developing and simplifying how I use it ever since. I might do a tutorial someday. I did a long time ago, but it wasn't focused on clothing specifically and it got almost no views. So maybe someday, but it's not high on my priority list right now.
As someone who lives in Louisiana, you're definitely not overdoing the heat considerations. Nearly every building here has air-conditioning, but it's absolutely miserable here if you do anything outside.
I've thought about it before, but I don't think I will, except to make a male base mannequin if I ever need one. One, because the pieces are somewhat interchangeable between the different wardrobes, and that is useful. And two, because it would make the art process double or triple time consuming, which I just don't think would be sustainable.
It is electric but it is my daily machine. It’s as smooth as butter and it doesn’t have a harsh built-in light, which looks terrible on camera, but it doesn’t zig-zag, so I break out my modern machine for buttonholes.
Pure imagination - it is dressing in a way that calls to mind a different era, by silhouette or color or materials, but blends enough with modern attire esthetic to not be blindingly noticeable. Morgan Donner coined the term and has a great RU-vid video about it.
