🍂 Since autumn is upon us. It is time to sit inside with a cosy book and a cup of something warm ☕.
Reading costume history books, or fashion history books, is a great way to learn something new or to get in the mindset for making your own creations. Whether connecting with primary sources to learn the authentic tips and techniques; or utilising the convenient compiled knowledge of secondary sources.
This video is a list of some of my favourite historical costuming books. They are a mix of primary and secondary sources. A variety of sewing instructional and reference books covering a wide range of history. Mostly covering 18th to 19th century with some Victorian reprints but with a sprinkling of Medieval Norse. Hopefully they will aid you in your journey to sewing the past.
Below are a list of the books in this video with bookshop.org links to each. Bookshop.org support local bookshops and are my preference when buying books and avoiding certain mega-corporations.

Do you love historic costume? Will none of your friends watch Costume Dramas with you because you spend all your time screaming at the screen about how inaccurate the clothing is? Yeah... me too!
Don't you ever wonder why they don't just ask someone like us? We'd love to show them how to do it right!
I've been a consultant for historically-costumed movies and TV shows for around 15 years. In this video, I explain the reasons why they get the clothing so very wrong in historical movies. It isn't what you think?

I've been wearing historical fashion daily for a number of years now, and throughout this time, I've thought of a number of surprising benefits. These are all just my own opinions, and I consulted a couple of friends who also wear historical clothing, so your opinions might be different, and that's totally okay.
I hope you enjoy this little bit of a rant, and I'll see you all in 2 weeks with another historical fashion video.
Thanks so much for watching!

Burnt Cork: Traditions and Legacies of Blackface Minstrelsy, edited by Stephen Johnson
SCRIPTED SEGMENT ON OFFENSIVE COSTUMES:
When it comes to costumes like Blackface, Redface, Brownface, and Yellowface: these costumes are all about establishing white supremacy through making fun of people of color. These depictions were only funny to white audiences, and were harmful, demeaning, and insulting to the victims.
In the early 20th century, minstrel shows were incredibly popular, so it unfortunately was not surprising that Blackface would be used as a popular Halloween costume as well.
Clip of Loni Love speaking on The Real Daytime Show:
"Back then, Blackface was something of a caricature for Black people. They exaggerated our features, it mocked us, things like that. It's a really sad time in American History, and that's the reason why when people say, "Well, I wanna be Diana Ross!" You can be Diana Ross, you just don't have to be the brown Diana Ross. You the white Diana Ross."
Redface is still upsettingly popular for Halloween today. Redface dates back to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when protesters dressed as Mohawks. And because of white supremacy and colonialism, Redface continues to be popular for centuries after.
Clip of Jenny Marlowe:
"You're not dressing up as a Viking or an Ancient Roman. Those people aren't around anymore. This is still very real to us."
Clip of Sheila Chalakee:
"Because it's so inaccurate, it almost feels like a joke. Like someone's making fun of me and all the things that my people fought and died to hold on to."
Of course, back in the 1930s, racism was a lot more mainstream and ethnic costumes were not viewed as a problem among the white community. I came across tons of newspaper clippings that had lists similar to this, with offensive costume ideas such as “Aunt Jemima" and "Chinese Princess”
If you want to read more about offensive costuming, I'm going to leave a couple resources in the description box. I'm just not qualified nor do I have enough time in this video to really, fully give this topic the full coverage that it deserves.
Also. Irrelevant, but when are we going gender blind and getting a woman playing Hamilton?
*I’m referring at this point to the stays in Hamilton providing a vertically flattened silhouette, eliminating bust curve in the bodice that would not have been apparent in the 18th century. This was poorly worded (‘flat front’) as stays technically were not entirely flat down the front at all; particularly as the century progressed, stays became more and more rigid down the front, the center front peaks more prominent to the point where busks were used to push the center front seam out away from the body and into a point. See for example the extant stays on pages 106 and 110 in ‘Patterns of Fashion 5’ by Janet Arnold, et al.
