Is there any way you can ask thredup for return buyer discounts? i think most ppl have already looked into them if they were ever going to so their code isn't nearly as useful as you'd think...
Hi tiffany! We have the same sewing machine 👁👄👁. Thank you so much for the mention/mini-analysis. And I can’t believe I’m on the thumbnail too???? I’m truly flattered 😭! Also, great video as always and amazing channels all around 😌✨
aaaah I'm astounded at how many people seem to enjoy our little realm of nerdery! 😭♥️ Fabulous video as usual! x (also can confirm, Raissa Bretaña who does the Glamour fact check videos is an actual independent fashion historian and glorious human who shows up with the research!)
Your videos, along with so many from the costumer community, have helped me take more risks in my wardrobe and feel more at home in my own skin than I have in a long time! I am so grateful to you and all costubers for your time and care in these topics! Thank you!
@@Renfield9 100% true, also, her videos and the community's content have helped me to stay calm during anxious times of my life. Thanks for the awesome work ♡
Those creators helped me learn about the dangers of fast fashion and the importance of buying good quality clothes instead of throwing my money at huge corporations that hand me shitty quality garments made by overworked and underpaid people.
Yes! whether we want to shop secondhand or sew our own pieces, it helps you appreciate the true value of clothing instead of thinking of them as expendable
@@tiffanyferg yes! I never thought or appreciated fashion and the hard work that goes into making a single garment (I was basically Andy from the beginning of The devil wears Prada) but now I do. I’m definitely buying less clothes that I’m problem gonna wear once and instead buying things I could see myself holding into for years.
I love your videos! You're the one who made me realise that focusing on fashion isn't shallow and how much thought goes into it. Thank you so much for making these videos!
I thought I was the only one going through the (historical) fashion commentary rabbit hole but I’m glad to see it’s a phenomena. Those creators really deserve the attention in my opinion, especially more than the bland corporate giants.
She was the first one to show up for me, I've always loved historical fashion, but was not at all aware of the communit. She showed up and I was instantly in love with her and her subscribers
Rachel maksy is a great historical costuber too! I think the rise of cottagecore is definitely a factor in the popularity of period costuming recently.
I think overall theres been a huge rise in historical reenactment/ educational content on youtube. Food history is another area that has grown greatly. And as a history major, I’m loving all of it.
I used to live history. Then I got to high school and hated it. It was either very dry facts about dates and some white dude, or (thanks to an obsessed hit not in a good way teacher), ancient Egypt. and that was it. And then I got back into it through things like dress history. Because I find the average lives of people of the time far more interesting than what battle some old dead white dude won. And getting into historical sewing myself... it just gives you this hands on experience of history that is so interesting and encompassing. You can get a feel for history and the actual lives of people of the time. I’m not a fan of Great Man Theory (to put it lightly- I hate it), but learning about everyday average people, wearing what they wore, eating what they ate, recreating those hands on things (to the best of my ability) has really made me fall in love with history again. Also, as far as videos that are just amazing for teaching history, Not Hour Mommas History (mentioned in this video) has a new series going through a day in the life. And her video on a day in the life of an enslaved lady’s maid was just so good. I forced my brother and teenage daughter to watch it. And my daughter showed her history teacher to try to get the rest of her class to watch it too. Of my high school history had been taught like that, I wouldn’t have hated or so much. Also, I still really dislike Ancient Egypt. That one teacher ruined it all for me.
@@LarnieRadek Townsends really good all around channel for 18th-19th century cooking and daily life, tasting history does many different recipes with no specific time period, English Heritage for english victorian cooking.
I liked her until her trip to a southern Plantation which has historical tours and the original slave quarters still standing. And she went into the slaves outhouse (which I know outhouses are her quirky thing) and made jokes. Laying with her face in a whole saying how it was perfect to receive a massage, and how there were 5 or 6 holes (with no barriers for privacy) and how she thought it was so cool they could all sit around and talk while going to the bathroom. Many people in her comments told her how incredibly disrespectful it was and she completely ignored them ( and she definitely saw them as she responded to many comments, even ones made a long time after the video was posted. She knew what the building was as there was a plaque and it’s a plantation where they educate people about slavery. That she never apologized or even acknowledged that people found it insulting made me unsubscribe. And I’m white. Very disappointing to say the least.
To be honest, when I started watching Cathy Hay's Peacock Dress series I didn't think I would learn so much about self-esteem, confidence, getting out of depression and even historical revisionism. She's great and I'm glad she's been recognized here!
As someone who has been dabbling with sewing and dressing more vintage for the last couple of months I think it's so much fun to see you talk about so many of my inspirations! There are so many talented and knowledgeable people on here it kinda amazes me bigger productions haven't caught on. Then again, maybe it's all just matters of fragile egos in the film industry or that all these scathing youtube videos are looked on as a part of "all publicity is good publicity"
@@Alice-gr1kb her captioning is just so incredibly good! I really appreciate when creators put effort into being accessible. I’ve found a lot of costubers do, maybe because there seem to be quite a lot of disabled costubers.
@@Alice-gr1kb if you’re after another costuber with perfect captioning, check out Juul Thijssen. She’s deaf herself, and doesn’t speak during her videos, so her captioning is literally perfect. And her videos are just so relaxing, the sound and visual quality of them is just... I don’t have words. It’s my ASMR for the eyes and the ears.
one of the worst ‘100 years’ videos was one of the Condé Nast ones on drag queens! you can tell that the magazines don’t have the capacity or will to do the proper research or pay people with the know how. but they are such a fun concept and lovely when they’re done with nuance
Karolina’s are the best. Her Polish one was just... it got to the 1970s and I just started bawling. Why major studios haven’t picked her up as an actress is beyond me. Because not only sis she research it all, do all the styling and the shooting and the video editing, but her acting in it was just perfection. Hit me right in the feels.
even though I spend my whole life, every hour of the day on youtube, it was still surprising to me that I basically know and watch all the channels you mentioned... please someone tell me I'm not alone .-.
I want to give some love to Nicole Rudolph (not sure if her channel got a screenshot or not). As well as Dixie DIY, Retro Claude, Abby Cox, and Cat’s Costumery, Lady Rebecca Fashions, Juul Thijssen, Snappy Dragon, Bella Mae’s Designs and Opus Elenae.
one of my favorite channels is Elin Abrahamsson, she sews historical garments, mostly medieval, and she also dyes fabric with natural materials. she lives in a beautiful area in (i think?) Sweden, her videos are beautiful and super relaxing. she has chickens and a cat that make frequent appearances as well. i highly recommend her channel
Yes!! Btw another small costuming/historical sewing RU-vidr is Mariah Pattie who focuses on patterning and creating pieces that can be functional in historical and modern wardrobes. Your comment made me remember her because one of recent videos involved baby chicks.
I don't think I can emphasize enough of how proud I am that Karolina Żebrowska represents Poland in the youtube global community. She's our national treasure
my sister is obsessed with historical fashion channels (including all the ones you mentionned) and don't get her started on corsets, you will never hear the end of it! i'm more into the modern fashion commentary channels, they're very informative considering i spent my life actively avoiding fashion bc of internalized misoginy
I love this corner of RU-vid: I have been garment sewing as a hobby for a long time.... with no community around me irl. Finding so many creative people creating geeky content on RU-vid in this area makes me feel like I’ve found my people. I love putting on a long 40min costuber video while they work on their project (and challenges!) while I work on mine ...
I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one who has kind of recently fallen in love with the fashion historians in RU-vid. They’re so knowledgeable and funny, and also so skilled in their trade, it’s amazing! They’re doing a great service bringing this subject to life and making it accessible to wider audiences, especially now that many museums are closed due to the pandemic, or limit access to certain historical garments and documents due to their monetary value, fragile condition or historical relevance.
some know what they're doing, others just copy what they see and pass it off as knowledge based on obscure sewing blog's info the people who run the big channels are too young to know as much as they pretend, so if you want info, look for the blogs
@@seabreeze4559 Really? Do you think that people like Nicole Rudolph, Abby Cox, Bernadette Banners, Karolina Zebrowska, Cheyney McKnight and others are pretending to know about fashion history? Have you seen their resumes?
These videos are so consistently well done. I’m 23, and sometimes it’s hard to continue to put everything into projects and make them the best they are as the world seems to reward quick and reactionary content. Whenever you upload, I’m reminded that researching a project or even an argument with empathy and follow-through is always worth it. If I focus on quality and put in the effort, there’s potential that my project could feel like the curated care that one of your videos feels like. An approach that prioritizes curation and, at the same time, care is how I wish we could all engage with things. Please keep up the great work.
Aw this is so kind, thank you! Believe me, I definitely second-guess my work through the whole process but it is satisfying to finally complete a video, enjoy it a little, and just move on to the next hahaha
I found costube through Bernadette's historical halloween costumes videos in November 2019 and my life changed completely. I was always into historical and vintage fashion but I never felt like I could achieve that before I started watching Bernadette and other costubers, and then eventually falling in love with sewing. I'm so grateful for them and the confidence they've helped me gain
The Closet Historian! She's sewing with a history/vintage lens and she's SO underrated, I can never believe the amount of knowledge she shares for free on sewing - she's done a few styling and lookbook and q&a's, she's fab and would highly recommend to all
Agreed! She also has posted some excellent videos of herself going through old catalogs and looking at styles with commentary of how those styles could be reproduced. She has excellent vintage accessories collections videos. She is so instructive with each video whether about actual sewing, pattern drafting or just styling that I recommend her often!

You just look freakin' stunning in that black dress!! And that little necklace makes your eyes even more beautiful. 🥺♥️
what’s the name for the phenomena where you find a new rabbit hole to go down on youtube and then a week later tiffany makes an internet analysis video on that topic? cause it’s happened more than once 😂 she really do be reminding me that my watch history aint anything special
Yes, I love her! I first found her through one of her Cicada Gown videos and was simply blown away by her work, in that video and all her other ones. Love that she does hat work as well!
the rise in the fashion community is like bread and butter for my soul. i was obsessed with project runway as a kid and seeing people talk authentically and gush about great clothing and costume designs... it makes me happy 😌
THIS IS THE CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR! But in all seriousness I love literally everyone in this video. Historical Costuming has changed my life and has had me rethink so many things.
Honestly fashion youtubers have helped me enjoy fashion for the first time. It's fun to see different looks and find words and analysis for things I wouldn't even know how to describe
I’m really appreciating Nicole’s ongoing fabric series. Even though I’ve been sewing for a while now, and only use natural fibres (yay for living in a hot and humid climate- polyester is the devil as far as I’m concerned), I’m learning so much from her. And her technique is just *chef’s kiss*. She has the neatest sewing I think I’ve ever seen, and I want all of her fabrics. Their quality just jumps out of the screen. And here I am, stuck with sewing together secondhand bedsheets. I’d kill for her fabric stash, I really would.
I love learning about historical fashion, the clothes are beautiful, so much detail and care was put into them, fast fashion cannot compare - I think that is what makes it so interesting.
It was fun to see you talk about costube! I'm also a costuber, and the whole community is excellent, and produces such great historical costuming content. 🥰
It really is just the most amazing community. And because of CosTube, the Historybounding community has also taken off, and it’s been a literal lifesaver for me. So my appreciation for your participation too- I love your videos, and it’s so good to see a woman who looks like me (except for the fact that I’m short) doing the things that I want to do. It’s really inspiring, and always kickstarts my motivation.
I'm glad you brought up YTers who comment on "inaccuracies" that actually serve the narrative. I love facts, but I also love character design, and to an extent successful design will always build off what people are currently familiar with in the culture, and the signifiers a contemporary audience will understand.
"Do you ever get stressed about not keeping up with your hobbies? Like, hobbies are supposed to be fun, not stressful" Hey anxiety, how's it going? Still living rent free in my head? I'm gonna get you evicted, just you wait
Just FYI… I found Karolina from Jenna Marbles. Karolina did a video “Jenna Marbles but she’s an Edwardian lady” that came out in June 2019 and Jenna mentioned it in a video!
The accent Bernadette Banner has is called "homeschooled". I know this bc I was homeschooled and grew up around ppl who spoke exactly like BB. I'm not saying she was homeschooled, just her accent. Listening to her videos really takes me back :)
Micarah Tewers actually was homeschooled. Have you seen her content? Do you think she has that ✨ accent✨ too? I'm curious to hear what you think Disclaimer: she also kinda copied the narrator voice from a Barbie movie so it might not be what you're referring to
Darling, Bernadettes accent is called trans-atlantic or Mid-atlantic. It's a mix between american and british way of speech. It was used for example by actors in early 20th century.
@@spectre9340 I have no idea. I was homeschooled and don't sound like her. I imagine that home schoolers have a variety of accents, like public or private school. I'm merely saying that her accent reminds me a lot of ppl I grew up w who were all homeschooled. It always makes me nostalgic when I hear her speak.
I love the costube community 😊 'Some' channels I recommend for more fashion and sewing information: - Cathy Hay, who does a lot of general life advice, but has recently started filming her sewing projects - Rachel Maksy, who has many videos about many things, but her vibe is very 'vintage cottagecore as a hobbit' - Costuming Drama, does mainly vlogstyle videos but also interviews with other costume channels, so through her channel more can be found - Sewstine, does a lot of different projects from vintage to historical to cottagecore - Nicole Rudolph, has a lot of in-depth historical knowledge of all types of eras - Juul Thijssen, has more asmr sewing videos - Marius Lee, does more historical mens fashion of the 18th century - The Welsh Viking, does a lot of videos about vikings and their native culture/time period - Pinsent Tailoring, is a tailor for historical fashion and has videos mainly on regency era - Evelyn Wood, has a lot of tips on sewing in general and has great vintage style - ScifiCheerGirl, is currently working on a historical princess Tiana project - Jill Bearup, is focussed more on stage combat, but because of her experience with that has some great analysis videos on the practically of certain clothes - Ash L G, has just a great combination of chaos and random projects that always turn out great - Enchanted Rose Costumes, has great historical projects with a lovely pastel vibe - PrettyShephard, has a lot of knowledge of Hungarian folkdress and hair videos, also has great skits *there also some great costubers in the comments here if you feel you still don't have enough to watch 😂
There's something about a fashion that just makes me feel happy and cozy. I don't love my body most days and I have some eating issues that just skyrocketed with my current emotional state but creating outfits in my mind and wearing them brings me joy in the gray days where I feel usually dissapointed in myself. Fashion can be an outlet for my creativity even when I feel useless lol. And even though I don't like to bring attention to me, I just enjoy too much wearing bright colors and my short skirts that I think look cute to me (but I do enjoy the ocasional and rare compliment about my outfiit by strangers). And I also enjoy so much all the styles and fashion pieces I see people wear in the streers... It may sound shallow at first but it's not about people's looks to me, it's about how they look with the colors, shapes, styles, etc. they choose and like to wear. It's amazing and so interesting to look at! Fashion is a little haven to me, so thank you for keeping the conversation going about fashion commentary. I love it! :)
I think one of the reasons why this kind of content became more popular in recent times is that it can be super interesting while at the same time very escapist (and I mean that in a good way lol). Personally, Bernadette's videos especially became a sort of solace during the beginning of quarantine, and I could watch visually engaging and aesthetic content that distracted me from the madness that was going on while ate the same time still feel like I was learning stuff. Also, they just look very cozy and nice on the eyes, with the great editing and dramatic shots of sewing shenanigans.
LOVE the video! I'm so glad these creators are getting the attention they very much deserve. I know you could not possibly include everyone, but I want to mention Nicole Rudolph. OMG. Her videos are packed with so much historical information, like, how do we get this much info for free lol! Plus she's very inspiring and just fun to watch!
Costume designers on shows have a budget and people who sign off on their designs. It may not be that they are uninformed on certain aspect of the historical accuracy but don't have the budget to be more accurate or the studio executives don't like what historical accurate looks like. These people got their jobs for a reason and I do not enjoy when people bash them not knowing what might go into making decisions that we see as the final product.
I think this is the first time I know every single person you've talked about in a video. I'm always a little lost when it's tiktok stars, this feels... oddly satisfying
Yay, you're back. Thanks for introducing me to Karolina, Mina, and Bernadette. And yay for shouting out Cheyney's channel - Not Your Momma's History and Shanspeare.
I absolutely love the Costube community! Their videos have singlehandedly inspired me to get into sewing and costuming and historical dress over the past year!
I love that you're plugging all these Interesting RU-vid channels to discover!!! But this just means that I'm gonna spend more and more time binge watching Yt videos 😭😭😭😭😭
When it comes to fashion content, here's a recommendation for y'all: check out Justine Leconte! She's an indie designer, and does a bit of everything (mostly modern) fashion related, she gives sneak peeks into her work, she makes seasonal trend analyses, talks about ethical fashion, reviews specific brands, gives personal style advice, she had a series on capsule wardrobe, and she sometimes does commentary on timely events (e.g. Kate Middleton's wedding dress at the time)
All these creators are frickin awesome! I would also like to recommend Justine Leconte because she is actually a fashion designer and she taught me a lot about how to spot really good quality clothes. She also has her own sustainably and ethically made jewelry line.
Yes! And she also gives update on the dark side of the fashion industry. I particularly liked the series she made on the process of creating her own sustainable collection...
Meme Mom led me to Bernadette, Bernadette led me to Cathy Hay, Cathy is building a freaking peacock dress...I died. These costubers are so bloody talented, it's insane. Great video, Tiffany.
Oh man as a reenactor/interprenter, someone who collects antique&vintage clothing and also sews it's very interesting to see the outside of the community perspective on the current historical fashion personalities(i use personalities as they're also very present on instagram which is where most of the community is located online atm). I really enjoy watching their content but at the same time I often find myself conflicted with the constant circular discourse on 'historical accuracy'(and what's allowed to be historically inaccurate vs what isnt, it often comes off as quite arbitrary and antagonistic, most costume designers do in fact make informed choices on what to exclude/include but I rarely see this addressed) as well as corsetry, which is currently also in a weird area where we've circled back round to 'corsets can never be bad and no one was ever uncomfortable in one' when reform dress movements were massive at the end of the 19th century(as well as youtube dress historians taking a nuanced view to dress history while presenting a backwards and whiggish view of medical history at the same time) BUT I DIGRESS I do think most of these channels, esp Banner and Zebrowska started within the community and speaking to the community, and then on finding success outside of it did pivot a bit to explaining more to a more general audience, which makes sense because it obviously works incredibly well on their reach. I know Banner has also mentioned how she puts out the less time intensive/clickbaity vids so she can keep up her channel while not burning out on her big projects, and it's hard to blame anyone for trying to get by even if I find the surface level critiques of historical design in film/series to be incredibly circular at this point
😳 I didn't expect to be given a shout out by such a cool person in a video with so many amazing channels, thank you!! And as always what a great video, it was great to hear your take on this bc I've been curious too
Normally when I watch your videos, it’s about a trend/story that I am unaware of. This is the first time that I was watching going “oh yeah, I remember that!”
Once again Tiffany making me realize I love a genre of RU-vid videos so much. Everyone mentioned in this video lives in my heart, and I'd also like to recommend KarenBritChick's series where she stops people in the streets of NYC and talks to them about their outfit, most of the time she shows people with really unique and personal styles, I love these videos so mucjjj
"These are supposed to be fun..." Omfg yes. I think I've rounded it out to the fact that my hobby is to just try new things because I always seem to get bored with things after I've tried them for a while. lolol. Bernadette is the greatest! So is Cathy Hay. Karolina is freaking hysterical, and Rachel always deserves a mention. lol. I love watching all of the crazy amazing things people can create, and especially when you watch a Bernadette video, you always feel like you are learning something worth while.
