Some historical clothing enthusiasts who AREN'T White because I'm sick of seeing White girls in 19th century clothes:

SewRena: specializes in 1950s American sewing & clothing, she is Black

Cosplay Queen: Chinese youtuber who does stuff like makeup, Hanfu of various time periods, Chinese classical dance, & cosplay. Also does a lot of Mukbang vids

MochiHanfu: another Chinese youtuber who specializes in Hanfu

NamiSparrow: Indian cosplayer who has some vids up about historic Indian fashion & sewing

Notyourmommashistory: Black reenactor who does vids on 1800s fashion, slavery in the 1800s, racism, vintage clothing, & also some cool video essays.

Cheon-Shik Yang: he is a Korean tailor who talks about Hanbok & traditional Korean clothing

Fashion & Culture with Kingsley: focuses a bit more on contemporary African clothing & fashions & geared towards fashion designers, but inspired by traditional African designs (from different countries and cultures, such as Ghana, Ethiopia, & Senegal) and clothing & a bit of historic ones as well.

The Couture Courtesan: mixed race Asian reenactor and historical fashion enthusiast who talks about fashions of various time periods, as early as the Tudor era up to the 1910s.

Eccentrik: Jamaican youtuber with vids focusing on fashion, & in particular either vintage fashion (I believe 1940s-60s), pinup fashion & hair & makeup, or vintage inspired sewing

Ora Lin: a nonbinary tailor (who I believe is Asian), they make videos about sewing & historical fashion of different periods & places, including Regency England, Jin & Ming dynasty China, the Edwardian era, & more.

Honorable mention: Snappydragon not a person of color, but she is Jewish & focuses on European historical fashion & Jewish historical fashion (including time periods the Jewish population would not be considered "White")

So I made another c0rset, and it comes stuffed with fancy pillows

Apparently I am now on a quest to recreate an early Edwardian summer dress/historybound...in the middle of winter. The last time I made a c0rset, it was an under bust design meant to go under my modern clothes, and I drafted it myself--so this time I decided to be lazy and used Aranea Black’s Tulip c0rset pattern with a few minor alterations for fit.

The great thing about these straight front c0rsets is that they aren't actually supposed to fit to the contours of your body. As long as the waist size is right for you, you can pad out the bust and hips to fill out the areas of the c0rset that you're too small to fill. A foundational undergarment with wider hips and a lower, fuller bust instantly creates the illusion of a smaller waist, even if (like me) you aren’t able to lace down more than an inch before getting too close to tight lacing territory.

I made it in size D (which gives the c0rset a 23 5/8" waist, which means a ~2.5" lacing gap on me), but the cotton twill I used must’ve stretched a bit because it ended up closing all the way in the back again (but I did put in a waist tape so maybe I used a twill tape that stretches?). Come to think of it, I really should have started with size C instead. I ended up having to shave off an inch and a half off the two back pieces to get back some semblance of a lacing gap, and then let out 3/8" from one of the front seams where I have a weird rib that sticks out more on the right compared to the left (thanks, scoliosis) and only makes its presence known when I wear tight clothing that contains plastic whalebone.

^Closeup of some the flossing detail because this is the first time I've actually been happy with the result.

The fashion layer is an iridescent silk shantung that my phone camera keeps trying to make appear purple. It's made from black warp threads and cornflower blue weft threads and actually looks a lot more blue in real life. (Also, my skin is not this pink irl either. I think my phone camera just tints everything slightly pink.)

Also, here's the bust improver:

I self drafted the pattern pretty much directly from the extant in the LACMA collection. It’s stuffed with fabric scraps that I save specifically for stuffing, but it could still use a little more volume since the stuffing must have flattened down a bit from being worn. It’s probably going to need an entire extra inch of thickness, if the discrepancy in the lacing gap in the c0rset is anything to go by.

Speaking of padding, at the moment, the hip spring in the c0rset isn't quite up to Edwardian standards because it's just my natural hip spring since I haven't gotten around to making the hip pad yet. But I did take a page out of Snappydragon's book and made the sides of the hips adjustable to accommodate a hip pad in the future. Also, not entirely sure when I’m going to make the hip pad because everything I’ve read has advised against using fabric scraps for those because they’re too heavy, so I guess I’m going to have to invest in some cotton fiber fill.

As always, yes I can breathe. I think I got lucky and this c0rset pattern just works really well with my personal skeletal structure with minimal adjustments. Nothing is digging in in uncomfortable places. That said, this is not going to be something I'll wear in my daily life because the silhouette is just too exaggerated for me to get away with, and it doesn’t really provide that much back support since it is so loose around the entire circumference of my bust. 

Update: I did end up adding a lot more stuffing to the bust improver and now the c0rset actually laces up evenly, so yay

[barbiegirldream]

Did you happen to watch snappydragon's most recent video about corset's in period dramas? bc I just watched it and it had so many good points about storytelling and how movies/shows use the corset as a plot device basing it on assumption the public has about corset nowadays instead of what they actually were

I haven’t heard of this channel ! I will check it out. I was watching some Bernadette Banner videos and it got me thinking.

Hey, I really loved your ‘writing Jewish characters’ ask. Do you know if there’s anywhere I can read more about the do’s and don’t’s, media studies, etc.? Just curious and wanted to see! Thanks!!

Hi! Sorry this took so long, nons. Unfortunately I can't think of any, but I'm not huge on listening to other peoples' media studies 🙃 lol. You can always feel free to ask, though (me or whomever). The jumblr community is pretty open and willing.

If you would like more specific help on one thing or another, there are plenty of Jewish sensitivity readers over at @sensitivityreaders , of which I am one if you want to dm me.

One thing I do know though, is that we Jews love talking about ourselves so I suggest you google Jewish youtube creators, I'm sure there are plenty that are more media analysis focused. Of course, there are always Jewish blogs and newspapers (many of which are accessible online, ofc be aware of any cultural/religious biases, I'd suggest reading columns from multiple groups and take everything you read with a grain of salt, you know, two jews three opinions and all that).

If you're looking for historical stuff I do recommend SnappyDragon on youtube who does historical costuming and has a few videos on tropes, and historical Jewish culture etc.

@/koshercosplay also might be able to help. Their blog is full of Jewish/fandom wonderfulness.

But yeah, again, feel free to reach out on tumblr if you have specific questions. Many Jews on here are willing to answer questions.

#diana replies #i made that post yu're referencing specifically cuz i didnt see many things like it. other people may have done things similar since but- #-idk who #nonns #nonnie #i love analysizing stuff but i hate watching video essays lol sorry

It's almost Halloween, which means that that post about witch hats being based on British Alewives is going to be making the rounds again.

It's not true. There's no proof, aside from a single (comical) illustration of a single alewife, who is supposed to be dressed as just a generally older woman.

The witch hat is most likely a fusion of the hats Quaker women used to wear, and the hats that 13th century German Jews were made to wear as identifying dress (Judenhut)

If you don’t believe me, Abby Cox and V from SnappyDragon have both made wonderful videos on the topic, with many a source.

Thanks Kanye, now can we get Jewish representation? Jews and antisemitism in period dramas

Time for Jewish representation in period dramas! Go to https://establishedtitles.com/SnappyD... and help support the channel. They are now running a massive Black Friday Sale, plus 10% off on any purchase with code SnappyDragon. Thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video!

Thanks to Kanye West and his blatant anti-semitism, the internet seems ready to talk about the issues facing the Jewish people. As a historical costumer, I want to know : When are we getting good Jewish representation in movies and historical shows? I don't mean Jewish stereotypes, antisemitic dogwhistles, Holocaust misinformation, or non Jewish actors in Jew-face. I want costume dramas that actually show Jewish history and Judaism, because Jews have been a part of history for nearly as long as history has existed. And no, sorry, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel doesn't make up for every other show that's got Jewish people wrong, and it has its problems too!

Studying fashion history while Jewish can be really upsetting, because I'm running into antisemitism all the time. It can suck all the fun out of dress history, to only see the most traumatic moments in Jewish history shown! Historical movies and historical shows aren't helping by refusing to include Jews or accurate Jewish history. Jewish representation in TV is fraught with problems, and historical dramas are no better. Blatant anti-semitism has become rarer in these shows, but antisemitic dog-whistles like in Red Joan are still an issue. So are Jewish characters whose Judaism is invisible, like in Downton Abbey. Too many Jews in period dramas are only around for one episode, which will never make up for the lack of Jewish main characters. WWII dramas may be willing to show Jewish history, but it's always the most upsetting period in Jewish history and the Jews never get to be the heroes of their own stories. And even in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and many other shows that center on historical Jews, it's rare that Jewish actors are cast. Sometimes non-Jewish actors will even wear fake noses to play Jews, a practice called Jew-Face. And too many shows forget Jews exist entirely, pretending to historical accuracy when it's actually innacurate to exclude Jews from the settings of many popular period dramas.

Let's use Kanye West's antisemitism to wake us up to all the ways that antisemitism is a real problem, including in historical costuming and in the shows and movies we love. Jews and Judaism, just like all other marginalized peoples, deserve better representation that we're getting
