Taylor Swift but make it Historical | Tortured Poets Dept costume analysis and dress history

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Technically, I've been thinking about this project since July 2023, when the tickets went on sale for the international dates in the UK of the Eras Tour. It's been a long time coming. I hope you enjoy this quick dive into 18th century fashion and how it can relate to Taylor Swift's stage costume for the Tortured Poet's Department set on the Eras Tour. As I mentioned in the video, the costume was designed by Vivienne Westwood, and there's a cool post about it on the Vivienne Westwood website (linked below) that shows a couple of behind the scenes photos. As soon as I saw it on a shaky live stream of the Nanterre/Paris shows, I knew this was the costume for me! Initially, I had been toying with the idea of re-creating one of her folklore dresses, as they appealed to me the most aesthetically - but I held off on the idea, as I was uneasy about the wearability of it (particularly, it's re-wearability) and having to get so much new fabric. Once I saw the TTPD dress, I immediately associated with 18th century style lines and as I've been meaning to dip my toe back into it, it seemed perfect (not to mention I have what can only be called a toxic relationship with stays - I love them, they hate me, I'll keep making them). So stay tuned for a making of costume video! P.S. I had to remove the audio from my footage of the TTPD set in the Eras tour at the end due to copyright :( -- RELATED CONTENT -- 18th century Stays Mock-ups https://you
