I Tried Ancient Roman Menstruation Underwear V. Birchwood 2024-09-14 | AD This video was sponsored by June’s Journey. Download June’s Journey for free now: cherrypick.gg/VBirchwoodThe further back in history we go, the less evidence there is for what was used during menstruation. During one of my amateur research rabbit holes, I came across an intriguing ancient Roman undergarment, the subligaculum. This led me to suspect that perhaps this garment may have been worn during menstruation, effectively making it the equivalent of modern-day period underwear.I decided to make my own subligaculum and try wearing it for one of the heaviest days of my menstruation to see whether or not it works for the task at hand.

I Made an Ancient Greek Bra V. Birchwood 2024-07-12 | At 2AM one morning, I went down a research rabbithole: what did the Ancient Greek people do for underwear, more specifically bust support? That led me to learn about the Ancient Greek "bra" (it's not really a bra, well it sort of is. I guess that could be the closest modern equivalent). In this video, I discuss my research and findings, as well as do a little experimental archaeology by recreating the "bra" (strophion) and wearing it myself to see if it actually works as bust support.🕯 Support my art on Patreon - patreon.com/vbirchwood✨ Leave a donation: ko-fi.com/vbirchwood🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood🪡 Follow me on Instagram - instagram.com/vasibirchwood📖 Business inquiries - vbirchwood@helmtalentgroup.comAncient Roman replication: reddit.com/r/ancientrome/comments/wzgf4n/replication_of_a_roman_strophium_ormamillareFurther reading:Department of Greek and Roman Art. “Ancient Greek Dress.” In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History.

Get up to 60% OFF your subscription ➡ Here: bit.ly/42T7aevA huge thanks to Babbel for sponsoring this video!Often when people think about fashion, it is seen as more of this superficial, vanity-oriented topic, interest, or even profession but I think that is a very limited glimpse into what fashion really is. And the same is often thought about historical fashion, that it is just this fun, aesthetic-oriented hobby, unfortunately deemed unnecessary by some, when in reality historical fashion and fashion in general mean so much more to so many people. Not to mention the fact it can give us profoundly deep insights into various societies and cultural practices.Over the past years wearing historical fashion every day, I have learned some surprising deeper things about life. And I want to talk about those realisations in this video. 🕯 Support my art on Patreon - patreon.com/vbirchwood✨ Leave a donation: ko-fi.com/vbirchwood🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood🪡 Follow me on Instagram - instagram.com/vasibirchwood📖 Business inquiries - sofie@helmtalentgroup.com

How I Survive Winter Wearing Only Historical Clothing (ft. Some VOLGA TATAR FASHION!) V.

Why I Started Wearing Historical Fashion Daily & Answering Your Other Questions! (Q&A) V. Birchwood 2023-11-17 | At long last, a Q&A!

Why You Should Wear Your Nicest Clothes (If You Want To) V. Birchwood 2023-09-29 | Choosing to wear your nicest clothes every day (if you want to) can feel like a scary decision, but these are the reasons why doing so has played into an even bigger shift in my life. Wearing my nicest clothing, and by nicest I mean the clothing that is the most meaningful and significant to me, has taught me endless lessons about living in the present moment, connecting with that which we love now and today, and also letting things go when it is their time to go.Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you all in 2 weeks for another video!🕯 Support my art on Patreon - patreon.com/vbirchwood🌲 Schedule a 1-1 call with me: calendly.com/vbirchwood✨ Leave a donation: ko-fi.com/vbirchwood🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood🪡 Follow me on Instagram - instagram.com/vasibirchwood📖 Business inquiries - sofie@helmtalentgroup.comSources:-commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Ladies_Gazette_of_Fashion,_The_newest_Fashions_for_February_1860,_RP-P-2009-2666.jpg-commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sand_Mandala_2017_Festival_of_Faiths_(34514453232).jpg-commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sand_Mandala_2017_Festival_of_Faiths_(34676105715).jpg

I'm a Volga Tatar, and these are the traditional Volga Tatar undergarments that my great great-great-grandmother would have worn. I've been heavily researching Volga Tatar historical fashion, even though a lot of information is very challenging to find, and I thought it was time, now that I recently finished sewing a Volga Tatar historical dress, to also sewing some matching historical underwear.Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in two weeks for another video!🕯 Support my art on Patreon - patreon.com/vbirchwood✨ Leave a donation: ko-fi.com/vbirchwood🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood🪡 Follow me on Instagram - instagram.com/vasibirchwood📖 Business inquiries - sofie@helmtalentgroup.comFurther reading:-M.

What 625 Hours of Hand Stitching Created: Everything I Made in My Third Year Sewing V. Birchwood 2023-09-01 | It's that time of year again, where I share everything (well most things) I made during my third year sewing! August 2023 was my 3-year sewing anniversary and probably my proudest year of creations yet.Like always, everything is 100% hand stitched, and all within the realm of historical fashion. I also mention the approximate hours it took for each ensemble to serve as a reminder of how labour-intensive sewing can be (and to pay homage to all dressmakers of the past and present).This year I gained a lot more confidence in my ability to sew clothing even without a pattern or no instructions. I also dove into sewing some of my ancestral Volga Tatar clothing.Thank you so much for being a part of this journey. Can you believe my channel is over 2.5 years old now?!

Why I Stopped Wearing a Corset Every Day V. Birchwood 2023-08-18 | Earlier this year, I stopped wearing a corset every day. But the reason why might not be what you think. In this video, I get honest about some of the things I've been navigating in my own life with regards to my creative expression through clothing and also the deeper themes that have been coming up for me. I feel that, although this is a change, it's a beautiful (and most of all more authentic) one, because now there are endless possibilities in the realm of historical fashion and I'm looking forward to showing you all what I have brewing content and sewing-wise.

What Irish Working Women Wore in the Late 19th Century | I Made the Clothing of My Irish Ancestors V. Birchwood 2023-06-23 | This video has been 6 months in the making, but at last, I show the process of sewing a late 1800s Irish working women's clothing. In part 1 of this series. I took a DNA test to find out about my adopted father's ancestry, as one of my goals is to make historical clothing I can wear day to day from each of my ancestral origins. My father's side has always remained a mystery, but the test revealed that his father was Irish/Scottish, and his mother was most likely Ukrainian. If you'd like to watch part 1 of the series, here's a link: youtu.be/1Ri2ZM3HMeIIrish fashion in general, especially working class fashion, has very limited information, so I felt this was an incredibly important project on many levels.If you'd like to follow Laura Fitzachary's work, here are her socials:Instagram – instagram.com/seekthehistoricTikTok – tiktok.com/@seekthehistoricTwitter – twitter.com/LauraFitzachEmail – seekthehistoric@gmail.comWebsite – seekthehistoric.comAnd a YouTube channel coming soon @seekthehistoric If you'd like to purchase the working class fashion book I mention, "Making Working Women's Costume" by Elizabeth Friendship, here is an Amazon affiliate link to do so (and I get a small commission!)

Drape a CUSTOM FIT Victorian Bodice Block ft. @LiljaHusmo (Easier Than It Seems!) V. Birchwood 2023-04-23 | In this video, the amazing @LiljaHusmo teaches us how to drape a Victorian bodice block, so you and a friend can make a custom-fit Victorian bodice block to utilise for your historical ensembles! The entire process of draping a historical bodice block is covered, including how to drape sleeves which is often a part that gets left out. Being able to fit historical fashion patterns, in particular mid-Victorian, can be quite complex, and this method is meant to serve as a guide to get you started on a well-fit pattern that you can then make a mock-up of and adjust subtly as needed before making a Victorian bodice or the bodice portion of a Victorian dress. A big thanks to Lilja Husmo for doing this demonstration! Be sure to go and follow her YouTube channel as she makes amazing videos.

The Problem with Modern Fashion V. Birchwood 2023-04-07 | Just a heads up, I open up about my struggles with body image and self-worth in the past in this video.My problem with modern fashion isn't the fashion in and of itself, it's actually the way the commercial modern fashion industry is run. I feel it lacks compassion, from mistreating garment workers to polluting our beauty planet with immense amounts of waste, and even to calling people "consumers." There are so many major challenges with the modern fashion industry as it stands, and in this video, I open up about my own experiences with how media and fashion has influenced my self-worth and body image. I also share a practice that helps me feel more connected to myself, to my clothing, and to the people who made the garments I'm wearing. At some point in my life, I decided to reject the modern beauty standards altogether. Wearing historical fashion as everyday clothing is one of the ways, and finding clothing practices that I could connect deeper with. My individual fashion choices, in addition to my amazing therapist, have allowed me to feel more accepting of my own body, greatly boosting the way I view myself and even the world around me.As I was about to record this video and had already scripted it, Karolina Żebrowska released an amazing video on a similar topic, so I highly recommend watching it for another perspective:youtu.be/cpdxKp8nDfcMy intention with making this video is to encourage you to find ways to become more connected with your clothing, regardless of whether it's historical, vintage, or modern (or whatever else), and to become curious about what your clothing means to you and how it really makes you feel.

3 Easy Victorian Hairstyles for Daily Wear (Tutorial) V. Birchwood 2023-03-10 | The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/vbirchwood03231In this video, I demonstrate how I do my three most worn every day Victorian hairstyles.The first one is a simple mid Victorian hairstyle, a braided bun with an option to either place the hair over the ears or behind the ears.The second look is one of my favourite historical hairstyles, a mid Victorian updo that features braided pieces at the front that then drape into a braided bun in the back.The final look is a braided crown, which you saw throughout the Renaissance Revival period (1880s hairstyle).I do not consider myself someone that is good at doing hair, but with quite a lot of practice, I've managed to complete these looks and get results I'm happy with.

I Tried Sleeping Like a Victorian for a Week V. Birchwood 2023-01-20 | I'm loving my Brooklinen sheets! You can get yours using my code BIRCHWOOD to get $20 off any order over $100. Link: bit.ly/Birchwood_BrooklinenJan23In this video, I take on a week-long experiment. Since I already wear historical fashion, I thought it'd be fun to try sleeping like a Victorian for a week. Victorians (and many other people throughout earlier history) slept in two parts – known as biphasic sleep. In fact, sleeping monophasically is actually a relatively new construct. The week had its ups and downs, and I document the realistic journey of what it was like.If you'd like to support me on Patreon and join in on all the fun, check out what I have to offer for each tier here: patreon.com/vbirchwoodIf you'd like to read the full interview from Professor Roger Ekirch, it can be found here: news-medical.net/news/20170517/History-of-sleep-what-was-normal.aspx🕯 Support my art on Patreon: patreon.com/vbirchwood✨ Leave a donation: ko-fi.com/vbirchwood🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood🪡 Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/vasibirchwood📖 Business inquiries: sofie@helmtalentgroup.com

Why Ill (Probably) Never Sew a Corset V. Birchwood 2022-12-08 | A big thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring this video! The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/vbirchwood12221Thank you so much for watching! This is just a little rant about why I will probably never sew a corset. I say "probably" because in life, you often never know what might happen.There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing to sew a corset, including cost, experience, materials, and more, and I think it's perfectly okay to never want to sew a corset. In fact, for some individuals, it may be more feasible to set aside a little money each month and purchase a custom-fit option made by a professional. I discuss some factors to consider so you can make an informed decision on whether you'd like to jump into making corsetry yourself or if it would be more feasible for you to instead commission a professional. It's a very personal decision!I'll be back on Sunday with another video, a much longer one.

A big thanks to NordVPN for sponsoring this video.You all enjoyed part 1 of reacting to bizarre Victorian fashion so much, and many of you asked for a part 2, that I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to release a follow-up video. Historical fashion continues to challenge our understanding of history, with so many weird and bizarre items appearing throughout my time researching antique garments and going through museum collections. These videos are always so much fun to film as a lot of the items can be quite comical too.Please note: It has come to my attention that the use of the term "skin-coloured" to describe the buff gown in the video was a very harmful and poor choice of words on my part. I'm incredibly sorry for any hurt I may have caused and have educated myself on why that was a hurtful choice of words (and will continue to educate myself). I have removed that section of the video so that it will not continue to do harm and I will work to be even more mindful of my language and microaggressions in the future.If you'd like to see even more bizarre historical fashion items, I regularly post my findings on my alternate Instagram page: instagram.com/bizarrehistoricalfashionI'll be back next week with a very special video.

How Historically Accurate Are Enola Holmes 2 Costumes? | Ft. @Vintagebursche V. Birchwood 2022-11-11 | AD This video was sponsored by June’s Journey. Download June’s Journey for free now: cherrypicktalent.cc/VBirchwoodJJEnola Holmes 2 was released this past weekend, and I decided to give the Victorian detective movie a watch in order to review how historically accurate the Enola Holmes 2 costumes are. A few things to note; the film isn't trying to be historically accurate, but it can still be fun to examine the looks and see how they may have been made more "period appropriate." I'm also not a fashion historian, but I am a daily wearer of historical fashion which means I have first-hand experience with historical clothing, so I'm approaching the costume review from this perspective. I hope you enjoy watching both @Vintagebursche and I go through some of the looks throughout the film.Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you in two weeks for another video.OH!
