What Irish Working Women Wore in the Late 19th Century | I Made the Clothing of My Irish Ancestors

This video has been 6 months in the making, but at last, I show the process of sewing a late 1800s Irish working women's clothing. In part 1 of this series. I took a DNA test to find out about my adopted father's ancestry, as one of my goals is to make historical clothing I can wear day to day from each of my ancestral origins. My father's side has always remained a mystery, but the test revealed that his father was Irish/Scottish, and his mother was most likely Ukrainian. If you'd like to watch part 1 of the series, here's a link: https://youtu.be/1Ri2ZM3HMeI Irish fashion in general, especially working class fashion, has very limited information, so I felt this was an incredibly important project on many levels.
