The Minoans were a Bronze Age civilization on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea and what is now Greece. What did the ancient Minoans wear? Today we are exploring exactly this topic! I've been studying ancient Minoan / Mycenaean clothing, aided by the research of archaeologist Bernice Jones, and I've attempted to create two capsule wardrobes: one feminine and one masculine. I think this is such a cool era to study, and attempting the clothing gives such a robust connection to the very intriguing civilization itself.
*Note: The female tunic can be sewn closed in front as well.

Which outfit was your favorite?

@cynthiadugan858 2 года назад

My fav was the red tunic with the three layered kilt❤️

@HomeWithMyBookshelf 2 года назад

I loved all of them, but the red tunic with the three layered skirt was my favourite. Close second was the red tunic with the light blue skirt.

I love them all! I wish I were built to be able to wear that, but my bust is a bit.... well, I’m not a fan of completely baring my chest in public and it’s not yet socially acceptable. :) I’d need some serious clothing glue... :)

as a greek i really like it that people start to learn and appreciate the minoan culture. it was an important part and influence of greek culture but gets overshadowed by the classic and Hellenistic period. not that its not as important but other parts of our history need more appreciation as well.

To recreate the famous "bare breasted" look, a lightweight knit undershirt or camisole in a tone similar to your skin would work beautifully, and the typical small bolero could be added, to complete the look. And don't be hesitant about more "gold" jewelry - the ladies loved rings, earrings and bracelets. There are reproductions available online. It would be fun to find some appropriate sandals to finish off the look, and do the dramatic make-up of the day. What a great project, and it looks like the clothing was very comfortable to wear in that warm, seaside climate.

@jlworrad 10 месяцев назад

It suddenly struck me watching this that the multilayered skirt thing makes sense given that Crete was at the very centre of the Bronze Age trade network. Cloth of every kind and from all over the Mediterranean would be coming into port. What better way to show off the latest materials than in wrap skirts etc? I imagine the average Minoan woman built up quite a collection she could mix and match and swap with friends. Thanks for this vid. It really brought things to life.

@HomeWithMyBookshelf 2 года назад

I love how this became a Minoan capsule wardrobe!

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

Totally! I started out thinking I'd make one outfit, but then I had to try some more skirt ideas, and, well...here we are with a new and actually quite comfortable wardrobe!

@keeganwallace5106 2 года назад

Minos was actually a decent stepfather. Instead of killing the Minotaur at birth, he created a containment facility where he was safe, fed him, and tried. :) now, maybe it was guilt as his actions were what created the circumstances of the Minotaurs birth, but at least he tried. Did better than a lot of people now..

Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful perspective! We can learn so much from the legends of the past if we listen.

@danielscallon7515 Год назад

These are really classy! Your renditions of Minoan clothing look like works that women and (possibly men) actually sat down at a loom for days on end weaving into the fabric expressions of themselves that they would show to the world. Comfortable, practical, stylish, and what people would wear to market, a social gathering, or a feast, or an event. Beautiful!

@TheAdeybob 10 месяцев назад

they look pretty wearable for day to day in a hot climate. I love your interpretation, although I think belts for both sexes were worn much broader, to make the waist look smaller. Thanks for this

@bc7138 2 года назад

Those costumes look fantastic! I'm fascinated with the Minoans & Mycenaeans and the Bronze Age in general. It's an era that's really not covered by historical reenactment societies much, but that's been changing in the last few years.

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

Thank you! I love the Bronze Age too! It's really nice to see it more widely represented and researched.

@sharlaidrey7898 2 года назад

These are absolutely bombastic!!! I visited Knossos and the Heraklion Archeological Museum in 2019 and I couldn't stop looking at the paintings and statues. The hair, the clothes, they could walk on streets of any big European city in summer and no one would even blink (well, unless they went "tits out"). The 3-layered skirt with the red tunic looks outstanding, like you just stepped out of one of the paintings. Congratulation and thank you for your work and research.

@undeadgoat 2 года назад

Minoan is definitely a culture I associate with bare-breasted looks so it was interesting to see it attempted at all, and I'm curious how you plan to style these at events when you can't just edit out any clips that show a little bit too much for modern standards!

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

We surely have a more modest standard now! They stay pretty well, but there is always top stick for certainty! 😅

@lenabreijer1311 2 года назад

Oh great job researching and creating the outfits! I did a costume based on Catal Hyak back in the 1980s for costume con. I also looked at a lot of Minoan paintings and sculptures but chickened out. I was too busty (34DDD) to feel comfortable. I documented wearing my bra under the costume as a way to get my body to the shape of the statue.

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

That sounds super interesting! Hey, we do what we have to do to make it work and feel comfortable! Even I have some fairly high tech modern pasties on under here.

@anna_in_aotearoa3166 2 года назад

Was just introduced to your channel via a CoSy21 panel on Opus Elenae's channel, and when you showed us you were working on a Minoan project, I just HAD to come look for this asap!! It's such a fascinating & still fairly mysterious period of history, and I've never seen anyone actually trying to practically reproduce any of the styles in 3D...? They're not very compatible with modern Western standards of modesty for streetwear, so it was interesting to see how you adapted for that too. So wowed by how it all turned out and how much the trim & tassel accents elevated these gorgeous garments! 😍 The natural makeup look with your outfit was very flattering, and the number of variations possible for you both by layering items was super-cool. Just from a sewing standpoint these seem remarkably accessible even for non-expert sewers so I hope your PDF patterns see lots of play! Oh and I'm with your boyfriend - if one is wearing tassels, then twirling them is absolutely de rigeur!! 😂 Good on him for helping with the modeling...

@ooloncolluphid1339 2 года назад

The trim and fringe is so ideal! Is there a source for it? Really brings them all together.

@quanyintv 2 года назад

Hi Daisy, Ifellow scadian here. I'd love to see a hair tutorial for the outfit and a series on here would be awesome. It's easier to find patterns for historical purposes. Less so for hair and makeup

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

Thanks for saying that, and totally agree! Hair is often a hard part for me too. Do you follow Loepsie? She does a lot of historical hair tutorials that help with sca periods. For this one, I sort of pinned the hair up with a clip and bobby pins and wrapped the trim around it as closely as possible to the paintings. There's also some insight via ancient Greek hair tutorials.

@janetchennault4385 4 месяца назад

Great work. I will definitely make use of your examples. I especially like the wrap-around layer skirts (as opposed to flounces). I have been experimenting with a construction that is not-t-tunic, because of the amount of wastage that is involved in cutting out and throwing away large pieces of fabric. If you have further insights on this, please advise. Are you willing to reveal your trim source? Hand woven trim in the quantity needed to adorn a Minoan robe is difficult to find.

Did I miss how you reinforced the neck opening of the man's tunic? Do you have any plans on fashioning a Minoan lady's corset or waistnipper?

@DaisyViktoria 2 года назад

You did not! It's just hemmed, and the trim adds a little reinforcement. You could always reinforce more if needed! I tried more of that "corset" idea before with the snake goddess attempt. While I made that one more complex, I now think it makes sense to pattern it more like this one with the added lacing. Would love to try more!

What a coincidence that you made this video. I have recently discovered that there are animal shelters on Crete. So I have been watching the dogs on RU-vid, dreaming about adopting one of them. 🙂 There is an ancient dog breed called Cretan Hound. It is thought to be the oldest European dog breed, dating from "perhaps before 3200 BCE". (Wikipedia). So it would have been the Minoans' dog. Takis has over 400 dogs for adopting right now (various breeds). 🐕

I could be wrong,but as far as I know the cut of bodies should be really tight one ( at list three sizes smaller),sleeves should be shorter and much tighter,waist and breasts should be supported by kind of “corseted” belt and it goes without saying that breasts themselves should be widely exposed 😜 ✌️

A small detail: the Spartans (Lakedaimonioi) themselves traced their ancestry to Doreans as well as Minoans. This was one of the reasons that their clothing varied significally with respect to the rest of Greek City States and somehow more close to the Minoan.
