About

Hi! I'm Maria, a historical costumer and sewist with a passion for recreating historical silhouettes. My main focus is the 18th century to Edwardian fashion and most of my content is from those eras. I have some professional training in modern clothing construction but most of my skills are from a lifetime of sewing, knitting and other crafts. I started historical costuming in 2019 and have been ever since deep diving especially into 18th century construction and technique. Most of what I do I try to stay faithful to historic technique but I do occasionally make things faster but I try my best to always do my homework and keep it a conscious decision when I deviate from historical accuracy.

Video Description

In this video, I go through the history of women's underpants and how they managed to use the restroom with all those layers. The idea of modern panties is a fairly new one. For most of history, women's underwear looked vastly different, so I decided to demonstrate how it all actually worked. For a better look at what all the layers involved were: https://youtu.be/sML6xn-hMzE?si=2btfRiSV6crr6yeh
