Fun fact: Bette Midler actually said she styled Winifred's hair after Queen Elisabeth I. So yes, the movie is set a century after Elizabeth but as many have pointed out it fits the narrative because we don't actually know how old they are. Assuming they have been regularly steeling youth they could be centuries old.
I find it really interesting that Winifred's hair is an older style to 1690, as she is supposed to be an old woman in 1690, and stole youth to look that young, meaning her hair style could be a throwback to her youth.
People at times, kept hairstyles from their younger days & that shouldn’t surprise us - just like fashions didn’t change as rapidly, pre-19th c- hairstyles were probably even slower to change - I read about a woman, who was a old lady by the time the English Civil Wars rolled around- but she stubbornly kept her high roll hairstyle from the later Elizabethan era... I think there might have been a lot of people a bit like Violet in ‘Downtown Abbey’...
@@OcarinaSapphr- For old women to keep their out of fashion styles was also a good sign that she wasn't too concerned with her appearance as that might mean she was on the lookout for a man.
just love that not only are you as historically correct as you can be, but you are having so much FUN in that outfit. I just love people acting goofy in gowns. Makes people of history seem more alive and... real? Although, of course Winifred Sanderson wasn't REAL, thats just a fairy tale so scare little kids........ or is it? mwahahahah
Im just picturing satan owning a fabric store. "Bah! You! Girl! Leave that blend and come hither unto me for I have silks! It shan't cost very much, but your mortal soul. " ... Let's face it, endless free silk...We would all be damned! Lol
Your Winifred cosplay turned out amazingly!!! Love the stomacher! You three get up to the best shenanigans! ;) Thanks for taking us along on the dress journey!
wasn't just young woman, there were rules for many ages. Just depends on which era you look at. And all of them penalised woman who were not "of means" like we often still do today.
Well, it wasn’t just women- & it wasn’t just the poor, either- rich commoners were probably more affected by sumptuary laws, than ‘the average Joe’... but I get what you’re saying.
I adore watching Abby and Christina lose track of the choreography and just slowly turn to each other while Nicole is too busy living it up to notice Loved this series and can't wait to see whatever you have in store next
Well that was awesome! The gown was already spectacular, but the embroidery on the stomacher shot it completely out of the park! Delightful play companions! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🖤
This entire process was incredible from start to finish and the end result was, of course, beautiful. Also, incredibly educational! I feel a keen interest to go do more research into this specific era of fashion. Thank you for sharing your efforts!
I’m always so cautious when engaging with unknown-to-me costumers. Some of them can be downright mean if not just pedantic and stuck up. YOU are a treasure and I waited far too long for the pleasure of “meeting” you. ❤️
YES! It looks AMAZING! I love it so much; the embroidery on the stomacher is so cool and definitely ties it all together. I desire nothing in the world but friends like yours:)
This wondrous bit of historical hocus pocus made my day. You guys are fantastic and I love how the costumes turned out. Also thank you for the hilarious acting.
Basically Winifred had kept the hairstyle of her younger years (Don't forget they are elderly women that only appear young because they steal the lives of children), the other two just went and had some fun with their style. Do love the Silk info. Did not know that before. You did seem to have had a lot of fun. :}
I watched Hocus Pocus for the first time last night and not only does this video now make a lot more sense, but I had fun spotting the iconic moments you three reenacted here!
Very well done! I love how you kept your composer on the bridge (?) and the other ladies were like “what’s happening”. I love the stomacher with the book inspiration. Makes me want to do a 1950’s version. Next year... hmmm.
This is fantastic!! That stomacher is bad ass!!! Great job!!! And you really kinda look like her with that wig and the way you did your make up!!! I love it! I also love your partners in crime. This made me smile and giggle. Thank you.
This is Fabulous! Winnie is my favorite and she is my favorite to go as besides the bride of Frankenstein. Love that Stomacher. Fabulous Embroidery. I need to get my head out of..... and get to work. I also need to learn to do all my stuff right handed since I'm going to have to have surgery on my dominant shoulder soon. This was Wonderful!!! Absolutely Wonderful My 'Mary' and 'Sarah' both Fabulous friends, passed away within the last 4 years. Too Young and very missed. So we haven't done them in a while. I'm so glad you have these people in your life.
I just watched all 3 parts and found it to be delightful and entertaining to watch. I loved the attention to detail and historical accuracy in the costume. I definitely appreciated her letting us know what she did that wasn’t entirely accurate or what she changed and what she would change if she had to do it again. Can’t say that I will make one, but it’s nice to know that if I ever do want to all the information is here.
OMG! This brought me so much JOY! and AMAZEMENT!! Why is everything you do so awesome?? And three wonderful ladies together whom I love. Perfect. Must have been made by magick!
not really. its just a dress in an allegorical painting, it likely didn't exist and i heard one historian say it would be more likely for them to just be painted on rather than embroidered. ironically there is also a snake embroidered in that same portrait I think?
I may be watching this 2 yrs later but it’s just so much fun as the first time you played. I need to come up with a Winnie costume for this years Halloween so I’m getting a jump on it now. So I have 4 months, give or take, to do the costume, wig, which I’ll buy, sorry. Shoes makeup and everything else. Should be able to manage that. Famous last words. Great job girls, I loved this 🇦🇺❤️
I still don’t know how I’ve never watched this Hocus Pocus project series!?! So fun and delightful! Brought me a lot of joy today. I also loved watching you style the wigs. That could be fun around Halloween. So many people getting dressed up and super fun to show us what kind of wig to purchase or order and some basic styling suggestions for a few different time periods, themes etc…. Might be fun. Hope your capsule cruise wardrobe is going well. So looking forward to seeing the results.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!! Nicole you make the perfect Winifred!! Both your cohorts were fantastic, and acting out some of the scenes from the movie were hilarious!!A+++ - this was just so fun :)
Amazing. You all looked fabulous. Still trying to work out that stitch you used on the snakes. I love it when you 3 get together. It always seems to end up with Shenanigans 🤣🤣
I always wondered what they would be like as historicaly acurate. Wonder no more , that was fabulous and Kudos to you for the Mantua it turned out lovely
