09 Do you see the difference?

We know that our readers do not conform to a stereotype. People who reconstruct and wear historic dress come in all shapes and sizes and from all creeds and colours. The Tudor Tailor is a staunch supporter of Reenactors of Colour, a welcome initiative on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Reenactors-of-Color-2403031296590550/) which aims at better representation of all people in the past and the present. We have invited the originator of that group Harlie Des Roches (aka Harls Barkley) to test patterns for new garments and model them in The Typical Tudor. In this clip Harlie fits her coat toile over the kirtle bodice mock-up.
