@elfieblue3175 2 года назад

They'd carbon-date it pre- and post-World War Two to definitively decide whether it was made in the time of its construction techniques. I would love to see those historians' theories as to WHY someone of our era chose to eschew contemporary clothes, especially to the extent of acquiring the machinery and materials needed to DUPLICATE these garments as faithfully as possible. The personalities of entire communities are lost when only silent artifacts remain. Can you imagine trying to piece together a lost civilization based only on a few structural bones of what could have been public eating establishments, and your only written data were the Yelp reviews?

Pockets are a much-needed addition to modern clothes. My 2-year-old has already realised the travesty that is poor pocket storage and is not shy in telling me when I mess up and provide pocketless clothes for her! (Where is she expected to keep her cuddly toy bunny and her "phone" aka dead online banking card reader?) I think I'll make her an apron with big pockets as a Christmas gift, so she always has bunny/phone/snack storage no matter the outfit she wears.

You truly have a very good "hand" when it comes to handwork. My mother trained as a seamstress for a time in the "old country". She taught me a lot! She had a beautiful "hand", too; but I was always anxious to hem a skirt I made. The hand stitches started neat, and with precision. By the time I finished, the stitches became basting stitches! She made me take them ALL out!! In Greek she said . . . "what are you going to do; hang ladles on it?" Thanks, Bernadette! 😊😊

That was when I was little, and without going into detail, something bad happened, and she and I don't talk to each other anymore. Your content is warm. It is deliberate, diligent, and fascinating. I can sit with a cup of coffee or tea, snuggle with my cat, and watch/listen to it in the background and it's genuinely wonderful. Even a couple times, I feel like I can relax like I did years ago.

It was sometimes hard to tell how the stitches looked because of the white balance in the shots where it was mostly the fabric on screen, but it might also be my computer (and I'm sure black fabric and diaphanous white light don't like to work together).

I truly enjoyed this video. I particularly enjoyed -- I am NOT weird -- the sounds of the tailoring activities: cutting, marking, snipping, stitching, swishing, what have you. The soundtrack music, which was, as always, a perfect accompaniment to the visual experience and narration, did not obscure the delightful sounds of the intricate work being accomplished. Somehow this added auditory dimension just struck me, today, as being especially satisfying. The single most accurate descriptive word for Bernadettian content is "intimate," i.e., the immersive experience of Mistress B. performing her gentle and graceful art for our enjoyment and edification, and I think these little, barely noticeable sounds kind of make it feel like you're watching over our good-lady's shoulder, rather than just viewing a RU-vid video. Well done, Miss Banner, well done!

Re: the faded cotton twill skirt, when I lived in England there was a product sold in the laundry section of some supermarkets that was essentially black dye suitable for cottons designed to be used in a front loading washing machine to refresh faded black clothing. I only used it a couple of times but it did work quite well, though of course anything not-cotton may not take the dye or might take it oddly, like buttons or zippers or similar. So either remove anything you don’t want to end up being dyed in advance, or accept some adventure. (Though of course something like a black button isn’t going to show much color change anyway since it’s black.) I believe they had a navy blue option also, but I can’t remember for sure. At any rate it might be worth looking into? It’s by weight so I’d guess you could probably do the skirt and maybe one or two tops or the equivalent.

@elizabethclaiborne6461 2 года назад

People overdye faded black regularly. What you describe sounds like Rit dye. Which is in grocery stores here, and fades. You want to use procion dye, in a bucket.

@Msmeohmy52 2 года назад

I’ve been over dying my black clothes for years, washing, drying, ironing and typical wear and tear takes a toll on all fabric. My older clothes of Quality fabric are much better than what’s on the market today!

Dylon? I know you can just pop it in the washing machine but I think it depends on the fabric.

@karycantowe9207 2 года назад

When I was in college a hundred years ago, all my friends were urban hipsters (a category of person I had never met before and was entranced by) and wore nothing but black. Every few months a bunch of these girls would get together with several boxes of Rit to overdye their black clothes and bring them back to life. It worked really well. Everybody stayed super-hip for longer! (Later in life, at a Catholic university, I met a European philosophy professor who wore elegant, all-black suits every day....somewhat spoiled by the fact that, quite regularly, he would be walking to class and kids he'd never seen before would respectfully greet him, saying "Hi Father"!).

The final shot against the ornate gates was superb! Remembering back to when you first learned about the pocket hanging tapes (and why they are necessary). Your channel definitely shows by example the benefit of practical costume history--showing the why behind certain practices (also, e.g. hem tape or brush tape).

I haven't seen if she mentioned the pocket hanging tape in a video between these two . . .
