Revealing How Often I Actually Clean My Daily Historical Clothes

There does not seem to be much information on Youtube regarding the way dressmakers clean their historical clothing, and how often. There's even less information about how someone who wears historical clothes every day keeps up with their garment care. For this reason, I thought it was important to have this resource available not only to those who might be curious but also for those who are overwhelmed by the mysterious process and perhaps would like to know how to clean their own historical or historically-inspired wardrobes. This garment covers every single layer of my daily wardrobe; from shift/chemise to corset/stays, to petticoat upon petticoat upon petticoat. I explain my personal process, along with frequency of cleaning. People have had to develop systems for cleaning their clothes all throughout history, and while cleaning historical clothing may seem time-consuming and inconvenient, in reality, the process isn't so much more complicated, it is just different. By creating a routine, it is possible to make cleaning a historical wardrobe systematic and therefore straightforward. Thank you so much for watching and for your continued support and viewership!
