You have saved me from goggling costume dresses of Florentine renaissance dresses and very pixalated images to actual accurate ones!!! Do you have any more?? I am achingly trying to fine references for my characters clothing in the correct period
So pleased you are finding the video helpful! Have you seen the full-length video of which this forms part? Also, I have hundreds of hours of me in various combinations of Florentine attire from this era, including dance videos, etc. Have you seen any of those? 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glL7gy7CQvU.html
In fact this is an excerpt from a longer getting dressed video that's about 20 minutes long and shows the dressing process from the skin out with history for each layer. :-)
This is a long shot, but do you know if at any point you could make a video on specific sewing techniques of the italian renaissance? (also, was velvet a thing?) I want to sew a dress very similar to this one (and an overdress) and while I've made one in the past, and a few pieces for other periods, I'm still very inexperienced in this area of history. I will also like and subscribe and see if you have any other relevant videos!! This was very interesting and informative!
Thank you for your support and compliments! And not a long shot at all - in fact, I was planning to do a video along these lines at some point soonish. The sort of conten that will make my modest pool of Patreon patrons happy. :-) Velvet was absolutely a fabric choice for the cioppe and giornee, and their is evidence for figures velvets being used for gamurra sleeves and bodies (although the Florentine records feature mostly wool and non-three-dimensional silks for the gamurre). Did you discover that this is part of a longer video on all the layers? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glL7gy7CQvU.html
@lisacalegari I have now started rolling out a multi-part vlog on making such a gown. Have you seen it? 🙂This is part I, and there are two subsequent parts thus far. :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F6jgMY76e4A.html
HI! Italian renaissance reenactor here! I'm having a lot of problems finding eyelets for my gamuura, and loved yours, please, could you tell me where did you get them?
Really appreciate you taking the time to post this question here! 😊The eyelets can be purchased from Billy and Charlie's Finest Pewters. I have many of their products and can recommend for both aesthetics and durability! www.billyandcharlie.com/product/pointy-eyelet/
@@francescanappo6489 That is always the danger. Just imagine how dangerous it is to frequent their booth in person! (they set up at a two-week medievalist festival in the US called Pennsic, and I always end up dropping serious change...😅
@@thecreativecontessa I've always wondered but never looked into how people would avoid getting dirty on the outside - especially the wealthy and the fashionable 🤔 I've only recently found out that there were ornate skirt holders during the 19th century and I assume bottoms of the skirts/petticoats meant for the outside were made with that thought in mind, but I've never seen shoes :D
@@DariaElGrellPozina I actually have several videos on the pianelle, including one thaty documents me wearing them all day in Florence (dressed in full 1480s finery). Here is that vlog: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PtL-YOOx21A.html
@@DariaElGrellPozina And if you were unaware, this video is part of a video that gets dressed and documents every layer in this ensemble. 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glL7gy7CQvU.html
