What Volga Tatar Women Wore in the 19th Century

@vbirchwoodAbout
I'm a daily wearer of historical clothing and a Volga Tatar. I’m also passionate about experimental archaeology. I show how these aspects can intersect, by glimpsing firsthand into what it may have been like for people historically, applied in a modern context. I also discuss historical fashion and hand sewing and how we can interact with the world in a more compassionate, sustainable, and connected way. For business inquiries please contact: [email protected] For my own everyday clothing, I wear Ancient Greek, Viking, Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, and other eras, as well as incorporating more of my Indigenous (Turkic) dress. All the garments I make for myself are 100% hand-stitched and are slow to construct! I feel working by hand is a wonderful way to connect with the process of sewing and to show the durability of hand-sewn garments. This is a welcoming space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and any other marginalised groups.

This was an incredibly fun video to put together, and I hope that it will help to preserve this information for future generations of Volga Tatars. 🕯 Support my art on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/vbirchwood ✨ Leave a donation: https://ko-fi.com/vbirchwood 🪡 Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vasibirchwood/ 📖 Business inquiries - [email protected] Further Reading: -K.
