I am historical reenactor. I reenact the 18th century French and Indian war (not a war between the french in the natives, it was the french and southern natives fighting the British)

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

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.

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 !!

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.

A historical reenactor is a dedicated enthusiast who meticulously recreates and embodies characters from bygone eras. They immerse themselves in the clothing, customs, and culture of a specific historical period, offering a window into the past for education and entertainment. These enthusiasts breathe life into history, preserving and sharing its rich tapestry. Click Here

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
