Period-accurate clothing, in the flesh

[resourceress7]

Period-accurate clothing: What did people wear over their bits, how did they put it on, and how was it constructed?

Here are some great YouTube channels and playlists:

CrowsEyeProductions: Getting Dressed series
LOTS of brief (2 to 15 min) historical documentaries that show British people of various social classes, occupations, and historical periods (starting in the 14th century) getting dressed for their day, starting with what they slept in. Includes narration about what they wore and why.

• chronological order playlist (mostly women)
• men's clothing playlist

Two very informative channels about historical clothing, how it was made and worn, and which movies/shows that got their costumes right vs. wrong:

• Bernadette Banner
• Karolina Żebrowska

Bonus: All of these channels have accurate closed captions, written by a live human. Yay!

Enjoy!
