Making Petticoat Breeches: The Most Hated Garment in History!

Petticoat breeches, the quintessential masculine garment of the 1660s, are the most loathed garment in fashion history! So let's make some 😉 In this video, we'll explore why petticoat breeches are so despised, and attempt to make not only a fancy pair of them, but the drawers and canons that go underneath! These over-the-top trousers are so much fun to wear and I'm so excited to share this process with you! Like most garments of the mid-to-late 17th century, there is very little information available on their construction, and so there is a lot of guessing and educated assumptions involved in the construction of these garments! This is the second video in the 1660's Peacock series, where we are constructing an entire masculine outfit fit for the most fabulous and flamboyant of fops!
