Historical Fashion Lookbook: The 18th Century Forest Traveller

I hope you enjoy Chapter 1 of my latest "Historical Fashion Lookbook" series! I will be posting new episodes occasionally, which will include one look per video, on either a Monday or a Tuesday, in addition to regularly scheduled weekly Thursday content. About this chapter: An 18th century forest traveller is exhausted after a long day's journey. With darkness creeping over, she must find a way to rest before beginning her trek anew. Sitting down to catch her breath at the base of a tree, she awakens to find dawn has appeared and she has slept through the night. She examines the plants within her surrounding, admiring a gorgeous bush of holly and discovering edible crab apples. Picking one sour fruit to briefly stunt her hunger, the Georgian traveller collects her belongings and undertakes the journey once more. This historical fashion lookbook features a homemade and hand sewn circa 1780s redingote, along with a similarly made wool cape for warmth. The garments are adorned by a series of accessories, all affordable antiques from my collection. The redingote I made from a pattern by Black Snail Patterns. The cape I made from a Reconstructing History pattern. The white petticoat and fichu are made by other dressmakers. 🕯 Support my art on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vbirchwood ✨ Leave a donation: https://ko-fi.com/vbirchwood 🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood 🪡 Follow me on Instagram: https
