Historical Fashion

Nice!
I have just ventured into this but haven't finished anything or participated in a reenactment yet. I'm currently working on a pair of stays and a shift but I'm so slow x__x The group I'm apart of does Rev. War and I'm excited to try it out when I can finally finish sewing XD

I'm starting small but I also have stays to make, as well as an apron, pockets, cap and bum roll. Then I plan to make another outfit with historical native garb so I can choose 

That's fantastic! I wish you a fun process with your work! Which tribe do you think you'll plan to rep?

Well for the specific reenactment group I'm in it's southern cree natives so cree

Oh I'm not a reenactor but I do adore historical fashion! I'm making an 1898 Symington corset from the digitalized Symington Collection patterns, and I've drafted an 18th century stays pattern as well. 

Love this! I am looking at changing my wardrobe to have more historically inspired pieces. If anyone has an idea or tips, I'd love to get share some inspo! 

I like to dress as a mob boss from the 1940s

I don't reenact but I love learning about historical fashions :-)

I don’t reenact, but I have a special interest in historical fashion, and really enjoy learning about clothing and fashion trends from different points in history!

not a reenactor, just a lover of historical fashion !!

i recently finished making two pairs of 1810s stays (one is an ill-fitting mockup, but it still works) and i'm currently patterning out a shift !!

not a reenact or but hoping to get into medieval clothing soon hopefully! i have a burda pattern for a shift, now i just need fabric

not a reenactor, but i LOVE historical fashion! a lot of my designs are inspired by different points in history, especially the medieval and victorian eras

Sorry for going MIA life has been wild! If any of yall are interested in getting into 1700's reenactment, I can give resources on how to get started!

I want it to be something that lives on, a lot of reenactors are getting older, and passing. It's also full of a lot of conservatives and I think there needs to be more progressive people in history telling, so we can understand the true scope of history, outside the colonizers lense.

please do not advertise in this forum. (if it not about reenacting, such as sharing events or legit places to buy things) 

John's comment above leads to some sort of drop shipping store with presumably shitty cosplay clothing

oh yeah i love historical fashion sm, i'm working on a Norman tunic from around the 10th century, all by hand :) i love studying general European fashion from before the industrial revolution and the sewing machine

@mementomorisys 

Thats so cool! please share when you finish it!

vintage is the way to go xx

quiero un vestido victoriano para mis 15 años, pero no han arreglado mi maquina de coser, aunque es como de los años 40´s

i dont dress in historical fashion (yet!) but i love learning about it

I really love historical fashion!!! I'm actually on my sewing journey right now, currently making a 50's inspired top, but I hope to do some medieval/renaissance stuff soon! Still having trouble with patterns and things...

If anyone's still active I'd love to be friends ^^ xoxo

Love historical fashion!!

I tried making a french court outfit from the late 18th century but failed lol.I do enjoy old money and vintage styles since i think they look far nicer from todays fashion like niketech

I also do cosplay as the Philippines Revolutionary War Era Soldier
