watched damsel on netflix and ngl that scene where the handmaidens put elodie into her wedding dress was one of the best dressing scenes ive ever seen in anything. she wore a chemise under her corset, the garment had structure to it, there was no scene where she gets tightlaced in and has to hold a bedpost for support and it's treated like a torture scene, we got to see an actual hoop skirt, the bodice was separate from the skirts, so many LAYERS, they even gave her like that bit of whalebone they tuck into the front of the chest!! overall the whole thing reminded me of this video detailing how a lady in the tudor era would get dressed!! can't speak on any historical accuracy cause it takes place in a fictional fantasy kingdom but yeah that was cool

#would loooove to see someone like bernadette banner review that scene #the queen's gowns also reminded me a lot of tudor gowns #the movie itself was very fun #also i couldnt help but imagine the main girl and her sister as sansa and arya

I made Tudor shapewear out of fabric scraps!

This is part of my ongoing project to make a Tudor French gown for the ren faire. While I'm not super concerned with historical accuracy for things like fabric fiber content and dyes, I *am* trying to be as accurate as possible with the silhouette, and that classic Tudor noblewoman silhouette requires some very specific undergarments.

This garment was commonly called a "bum roll" and was worn around the hips to add width. Sort of like 16th century butt pads.

I used this pattern from The Tudor Tailor by Ninya Mikhaila and Jane Malcolm-Davies, which I resized to fit my hip measurements. This was my first time resizing a pattern!

(Ignore the Magic: The Gathering playmat, my sewing table is also our card game table.)

Since this is essentially underwear, I decided to make it as cheaply as possible by using scrap fabric. The roll itself is made of leftover muslin from an embroidery project, the ties are made with fabric leftover from a quilt, and the roll is stuffed with scraps from various projects!

The next step of this project is to make a farthingale (similar to a hoop skirt), which will be worn on top of the roll to complete the silhouette.

Should your glance on mornings lovely

Lift to drink the heaven’s blue

Or when sun, veiled by sirocco,

Royal red sinks out of view –

Give to Nature praise and honor.

Blithe of heart and sound of eye,

Knowing for the world of colour

Where its broad foundations lie.

— Goethe

Often associated with bloodshed, the color red can trigger feelings of sorrow and defeat. It can also be a fortifying presence, letting us know that we’ve endured another painful scar. In Greek mythology, the red rose was a symbol of the cycle of growth and decay, but also for love and affinity. Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage. 

The color red has represented many things, from the life force and the divine to love, lust, and anger. Up through the Middle Ages, red held a place of privilege in the Western world. For many cultures, red was not just one color of many but rather the only color worthy enough to be used for social purposes. In some languages, the word for red was the same as the word for color. The first color developed for painting and dying, red became associated in antiquity with war, wealth, and power. In the medieval period, red held both religious significance, as the color of the blood of Christ and the fires of Hell, and secular meaning, as a symbol of love, glory, and beauty. Yet during the Protestant Reformation, red began to decline in status. Viewed as indecent and immoral and linked to luxury and the excesses of the Catholic Church, red fell out of favor. After the French Revolution, red gained new respect as the color of progressive movements and radical left-wing politics." - Red: The History of a Color by Michel Pastoureau

[image ID: a digital portrait of queen berúthiel and her white cat from j.r.r. tolkien's legendarium standing against a dark blue background. the queen is wearing a black tudor-era gown with red accents, a red gable hood with a black veil, a girdle belt of pearls and rubies, and leopard print sleeves. she is holding up her fur-trimmed outer skirt in her left hand, revealing a red farthingale skirt underneath. she is pale skinned with a furrowed brow and teal blue eyes. her yellow eyed white cat sits to the left of her. the artist's signature is visible in red in the bottom right. it reads "LEN '22". /end ID.]

why does this costuming book’s scale patterns have exactly the right chest measurement for me …….. im so lucky

#jordan talks #it will be a lil too short but like one less thing to resize #im also using a tudor pattern to make a very late 16th century italian gown . #they are not the same but there are not a lot of patterning resources for this specific style #but the tudor structure bust line and waist like are close . so #im using that as a jumping off point #rip to me getting into late 16th to 17th century fashion bc it is Not popular

Adjusting Period Costumes for Practical Wear

As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm working on a Tudor-era French gown to wear to renaissance festivals. French gowns aren't a very practical garment, since they mostly existed to be big displays of wealth by using as much expensive fabric as possible. This is probably never going to be something I wear everyday. That said, I am making some adjustments so I'll be more comfortable in my costume.

Here's the thing: Tudor gowns were worn in England, a place that is famously cold and wet. And, as Ninya Mikhaila and Jane Malcolm-Davies point out in their book The Tudor Tailor, Tudor England was actually colder than modern England because of The Little Ice Age, a global cooling phenomenon that happened in the 14th through 19th centuries. (And that's not even getting into modern climate change.) Because it was generally cold, Tudor-era English folks wore a lot of layers and used a lot of heavy fabrics in their clothing.

I do not live in Tudor England during a global cooling event. In fact, I live in the Southeastern United States, where summer days routinely get up to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. Most renaissance festivals fall during the late spring, summer, or early fall, which means it is HOT. And although I love wool and velvet as much as the next guy, I'd rather not have a heat stroke while waiting in line for steak on a stake.

Obviously, some adjustment is needed to make this costume appropriate for the climate I'll be wearing it in.

I'm not super concerned with historical accuracy, but even if I was, Mikhaila and Malcolm-Davies say that Tudor women did change their wardrobes in different environments. Clothing would be made from material appropriate for both the temperature and the lifestyle of the wearer. Noblewomen specifically would add or remove layers depending on how hot or cold it was. This means adjusting my costume plans for Southern summers is more historically accurate than you might think.

With this in mind, I'm making a few adjustments from a typical reenactor's Tudor noblewoman costume:

I'm wearing fewer layers. The plan is to just wear a farthingale, kirtle, and gown, without bothering with a chemise, stockings, or a petticoat. Hardcore reenactors will be gasping in horror at me leaving out the chemise, but no one is going to see it and it doesn't provide any shaping, so it really is just an unnecessary layer. Same with stockings. Petticoats and kirtles were used interchangeably even in the Tudor era, so leaving out the petticoat is actually period accurate!

Whether/how often Tudor women wore stays is hotly debated. I am not wearing stays because they aren't strictly required for the silhouette I want. I may add some boning to the kirtle if I feel like I need it, but we'll see.

I'm choosing fabrics that are lightweight and breathable. I'm sticking to natural fibers as much as possible, and because I'm on a budget, that means this baby will probably be mostly cotton. Was cotton fiber widely available in 16th century England? Nope! But it's cheap and comfortable and that's what I need for this project.

Being picky about fabrics means I will be spending more on materials than if I was willing to, like, use thrifted polyester curtains, but I think it'll pay off. I'm hoping sticking to natural fibers will help keep sweat and BO to a minimum.

We know this has already been posted. It was accidentally posted early. Enjoy it again. Cheers to those seeing it for the first time!

This blue Tudor-inspired gown was created for Charlotte Hope’s portrayal of the first wife of Henry VIII, Katharine of Aragon, in the second season of the Starz! series The Spanish Princess. The piece was spotted again on an extra as a lady in waiting in the 2024 Netflix original movie Damsel.

Read a little more about what we think about the costumes in Damsel here.

Wedding dresses!!!

Cersei! Seylse florent! Cateyln and Lysa Tully! And maegery pleasssseee

Cersei wore red and gold to her wedding absolutely no question. I couldn’t find any gaudier Tudor-esque gowns but just imagine a skirt two times bigger, a waist three times smaller, and about a thousand more embroidered lions. Sleeves that drag the ground and big shoulder puffs, and a thousand little rubies stitched in

Stanlyse probably had the most flop noble wedding in all of Westeros. Seylse was allowed to pick one plain fitted kirtle and a loose sleeveless surcoat/tabard to go on top of it and that’s it. And everyone in the Sept saw her in her wimple/veil and was like why is she getting married she should be at the motherhouse

Do you guys think Cat and Lysa had matching dresses during their dual wedding…cries. Typical flowing riverlander gowns with long trumpet sleeves and knotted belts, with a white veil and circlet to top it all off, but each dress is quartered with Tully colors and the house they were marrying into.

Margaery is soooo wearing the latest fashion from the reach to her wedding. Not just to assert Tyrell dominance over the Lans she just thinks they’re cuter. High high waist and puffed sleeves and so much skirt, and all of it has floral patterns or embroidered in silk trim if the dress isn’t made of pure silk already. Princess Diana of Westeros

#asoiaf #asoiaf hair and clothing #they should all be at the club instead of getting married actually #actually Cersei should be a terrible corporate girlboss #Lysa and Cat should be at the Facebook mommy bloggers page #Seylse SHOULD be at the motherhouse #and margaery should be at the club ☺️
