Belle Mode, Belle Histoire. Sewing fashions of the past. Chemise a la –wah wah…. Chemise a la reine. Asymp; 2 Comments. Chemise a la reine. My chemise a la Reine/Oberkampf was not.

The underbust channel sits between my waist and underbust in the 18th century stays, so it has to be shifted up by about 2 inches. These aren’t insurmountable problems, but I only had 1 day left to m...

Men Like War. Women Like Dancing. – Our Girl History
https://ourgirlhistory.wordpress.com/2016/01/23/men-like-war-women-like-dancing
Men Like War. Women Like Dancing. January 23, 2016. January 25, 2016. I got into a conversation with a friend yesterday in which we found ourselves bemoaning the disparity in the degree of historical accuracy to which male and female reenactors are held at military living history events. [Note: I have this conversation with someone at least every two weeks. Because it’s still a problem, and I have nothing better to do.]. This is of course true. Like I said, I rant about this approximately fortnightly.

Belle Mode, Belle Histoire. Sewing fashions of the past. The never-ending 18th century stays. Chemise a la reine. Asymp; 2 Comments. They’re further along than shown here…. But at least they’re getting to the stage where I’ll be able to try them on and make sure they’re going to fit correctly. I’m still a tad worried about the top edges overlapping in back, but hopefully it won’t be a problem. Fingers crossed. Larr; Previous post. Next post →.

https://ourgirlhistory.wordpress.com/2016/08/12/the-pretty-problem
The “Pretty” Problem. August 12, 2016. You go to a museum to learn a story by means of the objects they have on display. You go to a zoo to be entertained by the animals. You go to a living history museum to to see people bring the past back to life. People who, in their historical clothing, are part zoo animals and part museum objects. They are also, quite often, knowledgeable historians and talented craftspeople, but perhaps you do not notice this. You. The “pretty” problem is a part of thi...Sad The o...

To be or not to be historically hairy. March 26, 2016. March 26, 2016. Mom: “I noticed you stopped shaving your legs, and I was wondering-“. Me: “-If that was because of laziness, or history, or feminism? Mom: “Yeah.”. Me: “All three, I guess”. Truly, history, feminism, and laziness will all play a part in my choice. However I fear that no matter what I choose, I’ll be called out on it. Either a tourist will noticed (and comment on! On Guard 3/19/1775: A Photo Essay. Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History.
