I made a 1950s Bullet Bra! Vintage Underwear gets a Psychedelic Makeover Emily Snee 2021-04-30 | I made a vintage style bullet bra MYSELF! WITHOUT a real pattern! Vintage undergarments and retro underwear are something I LOVE so I wanted to challenge myself, as a person with a fuller bust, to make a bullet bra (also sometimes called a torpedo bra or conical bra). I wanted to get that iconic pointy shape of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s to really round out some of my retro style looks, and I’m so happy that I finished it! It was really interesting to research and learn about! I had obviously seen what bullet bras looked like under clothing and seen pin up images of just the retro lingerie but the history was fascinating! And even though I was thinking the rockin’ fifties when I decided on the project, the bra I actually made was closer to the earlier bullet bras because of its lack of underwire.Although the closest cousin to the modern underwire bra was invented in the late 1920s, with one of the earliest patents for an underwire brassiere filed in 1929 by Helene Pons, the original bullet bras of the 1940’s were not underwired!During World War II, many ‘peace time’ industries stopped production and repurposed their business and factories towards the manufacture of weapons and military equipment to aid the war effort. The enormous need for metal for these purposes lead to shortages of metal and interruptions to the import of rubber from Asia. This coupled with the patriotic propaganda around salvage drives on the home front for materials like metal (which had minimal impact economically but significant impact on citizen morale) meant that the availability and wearing of corsets declined significantly. To fill the void left by the absence of their usual lingerie and the need for adequate support in the new jobs that many women were working the bullet bra, or torpedo bra, quickly gained popularity.The rise of the ’Sweater Girl’ in the popular culture of the late 1940s and the 1950’s, the increasingly dramatic shape of bullet bras because of improvements in technology and the addition of underwires, and their association with sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield kept the bullet bra in fashion well into the 1960s.I really enjoyed the challenge of creating this bra! I love the look of vintage lingerie and undergarments, but this was the first time I’d considered making my own vintage underwear!You can see that Victorian walking skirt I mentioned making here: youtu.be/nl1bwW7Vm1YCheck out the other clothing and garments I’ve made, there’s a little playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8RMHenfAjWg11XwJQB2LLI_DaECoJK_SUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

I made a MUSHROOM DRESS inspired by Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Vintage Pattern) Emily Snee 2023-07-21 | It was so much fun to make this 1960’s mod dress inspired by Cece’s mushroom designs in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!

So, I’m team Cece all the way!I was really excited to use my 1962 Singer 306k vintage sewing machine and one of the vintage sewing patterns to make this dress.

What I Learned from this 1949 Dress Manual: Clothing for Moderns (a dramatic reading) Emily Snee 2022-08-13 | I read through my Grandmother's home economics textbook and OH BOY, was it hilarious! Saying that, I did learn a lot about fashion and sewing techniques of the late 1940's and what was thought of as right and proper for college women at the time.It's always fascinating to look through books like this that give so much context to the time period of the vintage clothing, sewing and fashion that I love! Even if some of what Clothing for Moderns and Mabel D Erwin had to say does sound pretty stuffy and strange by today's standards!But for my Grandma, in her house craft and domestic science teacher training of the early 1950's, I'm sure this book made at least a *bit more* sense!If you enjoyed this video, you might like my other deep dives which I’ve squished together into a handy playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8RMHenfAjVGGha6rDjcV9VzHJ4tX3lY SUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content like the Patreon only extended cut of this video and an Aftershow for every project I make!patreon.com/EmilySneeFollow me on the Social Medias!http://instagram.com/emilyjsneepinterest.co.uk/emilysnee

It has a fantastically diverse cast in terms of race and body types, tonnes of strong female characters, complete acceptance of all orientations, polyamorous representation, and more humanity than I think i've ever seen in a fantasy show/film.Thanks so much to Ariel and Bernadette for taking time out to be excited about this project with me!

And why did everyone go mad for mauve?I always enjoy researching fashion history and clothing history, but I think that looking into the history of fabric dye (and the history of chemical and synthetic fabric dye in particular) has been one of my favourite little history deep dives to date!Between Paris Green arsenic wallpaper, Scheeles Green arsenic dresses, William Henry Perkin’s aniline purple mauvine dye, the death of artificial florists, and all the other ridiculous, tragic and bizarre confusions, impacts, and inactions - this was an absolutely fascinating subject to dive into!If you enjoyed this video, you might like my other deep dives which I’ve squished together into a handy playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8RMHenfAjVGGha6rDjcV9VzHJ4tX3lY SUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content like an Aftershow for every project and occasional freebies as thanks for your ongoing support!patreon.com/EmilySneeYou can check out my various art prints and merch-like goodies here: etsy.me/3EzCzVRFollow me on the Social Medias!http://instagram.com/emilyjsneepinterest.co.uk/emilysneeSOURCES:Taaadaaah!

Because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Making a Medieval Kirtle (but like, really queer and TIE DYED 😱) Emily Snee 2021-08-14 | Whew, making this 14th Century Kirtle was an adventure! I did my best to do Herjolfsnes 38 and do any other medieval cote / cotehardie I had info on justice! It’s definitely not historically accurate or a historical reconstruction, but I am thrilled with the result!I also loved incorporating aspects of my queer identity! As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s important to me to be open about who I am because before I was out, I felt the people I saw being unapologetically themselves gave me permission to do the same! 😊You can check where I got my info for this project by checking the links in this post:emilysnee.co.uk/post/my-14th-century-kirtle-homeworkSUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

Easy NO SEW Thrift Flip! #shorts Emily Snee 2021-05-08 | I thrifted these summer clothes because I liked the shapes, but yellow isn't my thing. So what do you do with cute clothes that aren't your colour? DYE THEM! They were both made of polyester, so I needed to use a synthetic fibre dye.

I made a Discworld Book Nook! A ✨Magical✨ Nighttime Forest Bookshelf Insert with GLOWING STARS ⭐ Emily Snee 2021-04-10 | I made a book nook/book insert *thing*! I had no special model making supplies or experience making any kind of diorama or miniatures, so everything in this was a DIY! And I made almost everything you can see in the nook out of foam clay and household objects!I wanted to pay homage to my favourite Terry Pratchett Discworld books and my favourite character from them, Tiffany Aching. I’m really happy with how it came out and really proud of myself for making something this -cool- and this *pretty* with minimal materials. Seriously, apart from foam clay and a few tiny pieces of fake plant, I only used cardboard, paper, wire, paint, a teeny bit of sand, thread, PVA glue and hot glue (LOOOOTS of hot glue)!I LOVE that the stars glow, and it’s been so nice in the evening to pop on the little fairy lights and see the stars inside the little world I made twinkling away 😊If you enjoyed watching me go on creative adventures, then check out the other things I’ve made on this lil’ playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8RMHenfAjXaIKMO20Ykn_C_7jM3bxqJOr, if you *specifically* want to see me make Nightmare Before Christmas masks you can check that out here: youtu.be/2xfyk30afw4SUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

VINTAGE HAIRSTYLES // 3 Ways I Style My Short Hair for HISTORICAL & RETRO LOOKS Emily Snee 2021-03-26 | Lil’ baby tutorial on styling short vintage hair 3 ways! Short vintage hairstyles can be really tough to find tinstructions for, so I thought I’d create the tutorial I wish I’d had when I started playing with vintage style and make something that looked at vintage hairstyles for short hair.This video tackles a 1950’s, 1920’s and an Edwardian look! You could also use the 50’s methods to do short 1940s hair by switching up your curl set pattern, and there’s a link below to a Pinterest board of set patterns for different looks!Also for the 20’s I looked at finger waves, which are actually different from marcel waves (who knew, hey?)! So I think my next vintage hair challenge is learning to marcel wave my hair. I think I have my finger waves and my vintage brush out nailed, so it’s time to move onto the next technique and master that!Links are down below!SUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

£15 Bedroom Makeover// THRIFTED *COSY* COTTAGECORE w *aesthetic* -artsy- Vintage Vibes ON A BUDGET! Emily Snee 2021-03-12 | I did a budget bedroom makeover! I wanted to give my tiny UK double bedroom a new look and I was lucky to be able to thrift and upcycle almost EVERYTHING I needed, so spent less than £20/$30!!! Is there anything more satisfying than an extreme makeover or a complete transformation? I don’t think so!Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little cottagecore bedroom makeover and the baby bedroom tour at the end. I loved giving my space a vintage makeover and having the chance to give those gorgeous pieces of antique furniture some love made me so happy!I’ll be back to sewing shenanigans in my next video, BUT if you want to watch me makeover another room I transformed our barely used office into a sewing room at the start of the year: youtu.be/s22_3mTNpzgSUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

I made an Edwardian Bustle Pad: Bringing a 1903 Patent to Life. Reconstruction w Recycled Materials Emily Snee 2021-02-19 | I took on making an Edwardian bustle pad to make sure I had the right undergarments for a full costume I made. It was inspired by my favourite book The Night Circus by writer Erin Morgenstern and constructed for the Foundations Revealed 2021 Contest. It uses an expired 1903 American patent from one H.H. Taylor and I used the drawings as the basis for my pattern.I used scrap materials and it was a nice short and simple project.

Making an Edwardian Gibson Girl Blouse from OLD BEDSHEETS and OFF CUT Lace (w no pattern 😬) Emily Snee 2021-01-22 | I made this Edwardian inspired blouse out of an upcycled bedsheet and some end-roll lace. I tried a historical 1903 shirtwaist pattern without success, so ended up draping and drafting the shirtwaist myself to get the size and shape right. I really wanted to achieve and emphasise that iconic Victorian/Edwardian pigeon chested silhouette, so used a lot of gathering in the front of the blouse and with the gathered puff sleeves. I wanted to go for some slightly gothic, dark academia vibes and I think I achieved what I set out to do (even if there were MANY hiccups).I'm making this blouse/shirtwaist for a full costume inspired by my favourite book The Night Circus by writer Erin Morgenstern for the Foundations Revealed 2021 Contest.If you'd like to read The Night Circus, you can pick up a copy here: amzn.to/2NdTat7You can see the videos about each piece I made for this outfit in this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8RMHenfAjWZjuoNMTIdrpIrfuqCKJWzSUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.

Dyeing My Hair with BLACK Henna (Ive Never Used Henna Before...) Emily Snee 2021-01-18 | Well, it was an interesting process. For anyone who's concerned about henna smelling bad - I personally find it more pleasant than the ammonia and peroxide in commercial hair dyes. As for the mess, it was messy but not that much messier than standard box hair dye (although that may just be me...)I’m happy with the results, and before anyone yells at me in the comment section - I now know that black henna can be dangerous and WHY it can be dangerous. However, the dye that I used very clearly states that it's free of PPD and heavy metals, and that the formulas have been tested under medical supervision. Also its only ingredients are Indigofera Tinctoria Leaf Powder, and Lawsonia Inermis Leaf Extract (or in plain English, Indigo and Henna)This is the dye that I used for those who are curious: amzn.to/3sBJxEASUPPORT ME:By becoming a patron and getting additional content as thanks for your ongoing support of my and my work!patreon.com/EmilySnee Or if that feels like too much of a commitment right now, don’t worry.
