Getting dressed in the 14th century 

2500: ‘getting dressed in the 21st century’

historical fashion is just so interesting to me i don't know why

Oh thanks. I almost forgot how to dress. Haven’t woken up in 700 years. Life saver

What clothing store sell: shirts and etc What i really want to wear:

Why am I watching this, I don't even live in 14th century

Only 1400s kids will remember.

I am Japanese middle aged man, I don't know what English speaking sounds good or bad, but I think this woman's narrative of this video is tender, heartwarming, and remarkable!

I like how they film for the peasant women as well.

In the olden days women had things and belts specifically to hold pockets now we don’t even have pockets

This was not only extraordinarily fascinating, but also stunningly filmed and produced. The lighting, the music, the angles, the narration all worked together flawlessly. This is what I would call a piece of art as well as education. Fantastic, thank you very much!

My brain: Lets go to sleep now, Me: OoOoOh let's learn how to get dressed in the 14th century!

No one: Literally no one: Me ar 12am: watching how 14th century people dressed

For those of you saying that it would basically take a millennia to get dressed: the video is literally 7:08 minutes long.

I like these videos where they show how regular women, not just the super wealthy, lived and dressed.

Why is it that the whole outfit just looks so comfortable? Lol

Not gonna lie but of all the eras, this is by far my favorite one. It look so soft and comfy not to mention very practical. If it were still in I would totally wear it. I cant say the same for the hair though

Oooooooh baby. I saw some ankle.

Somehow I read this title as "getting stressed in the 14th century"... xD Ok, moving along

OH SNAP...I thought I was the only one who builds campfires every morning on the bedroom floor and get dressed as the smoke surrounds me.

I feel like I’m at confession because of that music

This video series is just so beautifully done. Looking forward to more. ❤️

Those outfits could block bullets.

Am I the only one who watches these incase I travel back in time and need to fit in without being noticed?

I come back to this video like once a month. I'm so obsessed.

beautifully filmed!

Very good video with an emphasis on detail and atmosphere. :)

This is an excellent video, beautifully made. The light coming through the window, the realistic simplicity of the furnishings, the natural appearance of the two women, the music, and most of all the beautiful voice of the narrator - all make for a video not only educational but a pleasure to watch and revisit. For some reason it always gives me a feeling of recognition, as if that time was familiar to me.

I told y'all Muslims weren't the only people who wore headscarves throughout history

Asmr- 14th century version

Oh my god, I wish I could just tell all the people who think that they'd overheat in those clothes that linen and wool is much more breathable than modern clothing. Essentially today we're wearing plastic bags over our skin. Think about it, when you sleep in your beds, you place the blankets with the most polyurethane plastic on top because that is much more heat reflective than the cotton blankets. Also, for all of you people saying that it must have been dreadfully uncomfortable and hot, think about it for a minute. Do you really think that your ancestors were so stupid that they'd go about wearing clothes that would give them heatstrokes? Really? No. People haven't changed since then. We always preferred comfort to discomfort. One more thing to consider. Ever heard of Muslims? Look at how they dress in Saudi Arabia. You understand it's pretty hot in Saudi Arabia, right? See, when you don't wear polyurethane plastic all the time, your clothing is much more breathable. They're not dropping dead from heat stroke in the desert, your ancestors in Europe wouldn't drop dead either.

I live in the old Saxon market town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. King Raedwald is still respected by many who have seen copies or pictures of his grave goods at Sutton Hoo, West Stow Anglo Saxon village reconstruction and the real treasure in the British Museum. They are fabulous in design and quality. One of our housing estates has roads named after Raedwald and several other Saxon heroes. Thank you for showing this excellent video, please continue to make more videos about how the Anglo Saxons lived.

Geez why do I get nostalgia from every video related to history

Thank you for these videos, one of the main reasons I became a fashion designer is my fascination with the history of fashion. It is so important to preserve the history and to show people the old fashion way, unfortunately most people take clothing for granted and don't even care about how garments came to be what they are today.

beautiful and informative, well done! the smoke made everything look so lovely and dreamy

everything about this is so relaxing. even the way the narrator pronounce the names ('linen smock' 'pleats', etc) sounds relaxing

It’s cool how they were able to find video from the 14th century and restore it so we could see it today.

I would truly love to try a medieval experience week where you have to dress, cook and live as they would have done back then. I think it would be an incredible and very humbling experience....

It's so interesting how we have alternated between comfortable and simple dressing and uncomfortable complicated dressing throughout history.

Wow, at least we know they kept warm! I prefer this type of outfit, way more comfortable looking.

Weirdly this is one of my favourite decades for dress it looks so practical and comfortable!

Fun fact: The more curved and fitted surcoat with the larger side openings was not considered proper by some folks, especially the clergy. They dubbed this garment "the Gates of Hell".

Could you possibly do a video in the 9th century? Perhaps with Anglo-Saxon women versus Viking Women? I love these videos

Her underwear is already what modern women would call, “fancy”

The narrator's voice and the background music was just pure magic!!!

700 years later: OMG, I have 98 Yoga pants and none of them are comfortable.

I was born in the late 1940s in England and nobody would go out or be seen dead, without their heads covered by a hat or scarf, this carried on and ended in the 60s for whatever reason I don’t know, but I still love to wear a hat or headwrap/scarf.

The maid’s outfit was so much more structured. I love it!!! It is very flattering really. And seems comfortable.

The music in the background is so lovely. I always come back to this video- something about it draws me in

This was incredible, but I wasn't expecting a fire hijab tutorial/style in the middle :p I'm absolutely going to style my hijab like that this week!

If I could do so without standing out I’d totally dress like this

This channel needs to be required viewing for anyone working on a Hollywood period piece.

Another, excellent, atmospheric film. Well done and thanks.

Imagine travelling back in time and just show up in modern time clothes. Their minds will blow up from us wearing less than that.

Do you have a video or would ever make a video for the dressing of higher born women?

OMG This is SO good! Thank you so much! I was looking everywhere for a realistic description of medieval clothing (unaltered by today's fashion standards). This is exactly what I needed!

I can't stop watching these, I find these videos super fascinating and I'm able to learn a little bit more about how they would dress in the past!

If they keep making pants without pockets I’m gonna start dressing like this

Not having to wear a bra and panties sounds fantastic

This is one of those odd great video topics that make RU-vid so great. Imagine pitching this as a TV show, even to the History Channel when it still had shows on history.

I could watch these videos ALL DAY LONG. It's so interesting and fun to learn and watch. I'm obsessed with history. If I could choose to go 100+ year's into the future, or 100+ year's back into the past, I'd chose the latter EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I don't wanna know what this world will look like in 100+ year's from now. However, I'm a huge history buff, and if I can learn, I'm there. 😊😊

They must’ve dreaded laundry day......

When they say they didn’t wear underwear for practicality, I get it. But then I’m like, what happens when she has her period? 👀

6:17 is like how my aunts do their hijabs😃😃 I'm like wait that look is familiar😂😂

Linen is fantastic, more modern clothes need to be made out of it.

It would be great if you do a male version for these getting dressed in different eras. And maybe, do some for different cultures 😃

The way the actresses look and move really makes it seem like theyve done this a thousand times

i missread the title and i thought it was about being depressed in the 14st century

Oh my gosh my mother used to do those very braids for my hair. Exactly like that and we would tie them up behind my ear. Wow cute. I had hair always past my lower bottom mid thigh area sometimes it would hit the back of my knees. The first time I had it cut I thought it was so short it was to my tailbone. People looked at me like I was crazy when I said look at my short hair. My mother did so many intricate wonderful braids and different hairstyles with my hair. What fun. Such lovely memories

I wonder if the smoke irritated her eyes during the video

i keep seeing comments on the many layers of clothing seeming redundant.. It was a very Logical and Necessary thing to do --- and actually if you have ever worn linen you will find it quite cool to wear (& if it gets wet its COLD) - in a world of No central heating & not even heated stoves - just open fires meant it got Seriously bone chilling COLD even indoors. Linen, unlike now was Much less expensive so layers were then as now, a way to stay warm. the more layers or adding layers of wool was designed for warmth and welcomed. The covering of hair had great practical reasons as well. again having to do with warmth more than much else. when it was a major production to heat water to wash long hair you did what ever you could to keep it clean as long as possible head coverings did that - protected from dirt and ash (from open fires) etc & the laborious act of washing the hair was needed less often have seen/done this myself so i know these things work - far more comfortable overall than modern clothing

6:17 this look became the standard image of Muslim women in the 21 century

This is such an amazing and informative video! I have been fascinated by the medieval period since I was in high school at age 16, and I am now a university student working towards a history major, and the medieval period continues to be the most fascinating to me, with the 14th century being my favorite century.

Can you do one for the 1200s?

... I’m now tempted to start carrying my fiber pouch, drop spindle, and distaff on a belt. That’s actually one benefit to the days I need to use my wheelchair - no need to drop my knitting when I need to move! Just plop it on my lap and go.

These outfits look warm. Great video 😮.

I love this video! Exactly what I was looking for !

2:11 *sees ankle *starts sweating

You can just imagine how everyone must have smelled like smoke all the time.

Seeing her body, throught her clothes, thank to the sun without revealing much is beautiful ! Like art !

I loved this video so much that I made the first outfit. This was a great and informative video! Thanks for making it!

Getting dressed in 2050 : NO CLOTHES

for the people who ask, what did they do when they had their periods: 1. there was probably more female underwear around in the middle ages than is generally shown. Male researchers don't like the idea of it and there's very little research into it. 2. Consider that women in the past were on their periods FAR LESS OFTEN than we are today. A woman has no period when she is pregnant and neither when she is breastfeeding a baby (for a certain time, after which fertility returns and the possibility to become pregnant and with this periods start again even if she can keep breastfeeding the first child). There was no contraception available then so women would have had babies very often. Also when your nutrition is lacking, girls mature phyisically later in life than today and if the nutrition situation is very bad and you're starving, your period stops. this effect is known in modern women when they suffer from anorexia. Frequent times of starvation might sadly have been a regular experience for many people in the middle ages. 3. underwear, also for men, could be constructed in a very simple way (a cloth and a string...) and it's not far fetched to say that women could fashion something to wear a rag between their legs during the period.

Thank you for this video, it was really helpful in visualizing what every clothing piece was for and how it was put on

Beautiful! I found that clothes have been changing. That's interesting to me.

so the belt is really just a 14th century fanny pack

This is educational and the narrator has an soothing voice 😍

Looks really comfortable and simple. I love it.

3:09 lol indian schoolgirls wear a similar style of looped braids as part of their uniform. We jokingly call it karelas which is Hindi for bitter gourd as it resembles the fruit

So happy they had the time to film this in the 14th century

Can we take a second to realize the unique loveliness of the maid? All of her movements and expressions were so delicate!

I am loving these videos so much!

Thank you so much for this video! I loved it!

I know my husband would love to see some videos geared towards men! He just finished his 13th century maille suit and is looking to complete it with linen cloths.

I feel like some Catholic/Anglican religious sisters dress in the same way today.

I love watching these. So interesting.

It kinda amazes me how far we've come but makes me anxious as well thinking these people existed.

Beautifully filmed. The clothing looks very comfortable and easy to maintain.

There is something in this voice and the background choirs that make this so soothing, harmonic, peaceful and relaxing.

Absolutely amazing ❤️🙏

This so fun and interesting to watch even though I’m Eleven I still find watching historical fashion fascinating ❤️
