If you want to ease your way into mens fashion I would HELLA appreciate a video about turning historical mens clothes into a women's wardrobe for all the ladies like me who like masc/androgynous clothes more that dresses and blouses

You could totally make a regency modern wardrobe that has both masculine and feminine fashion, because I think the masculine fashion would translate to women clothing quite well (the coats, shirts, etc) 😍

I NEED THOSE SHOES! The whole capsule is glorious, but those shoes! Due to medical problems, the only actual ‘shoes’ I can currently wear are horrible ballerina style flats - absolutely nothing with structured sides or uppers. Now I need to research those shoes/boots, and make myself a pair along with the felt liner to make them into boots for the winter. Amazing!

I feel like shoemaking is one of those things where I'm still a little like "wait am I allowed to do that?". But yours turned out so good, I might just have to give it a go!

EXACTLY It's sort of world-shifting tbh.

Since I started watching your videos I've become really interested in historical clothing and designing clothes for my worldbuiling projects. I recently bought a book called "Viking Dress Code" by Kamil Rabiega, which has helped me a lot with my designs. It shows a lot of reconstructions of scandinavian clothing from the 8th to 11th century, as well as fotos of surviving garments, and it goes into detail about their construction. Just as a little recommendation for anyone interested in viking fashion.

Two years ago I found two massive old earrings with gem inset that would look rediculous on anyone. They are about 5cm in diameter. So obviously I bought them because... crafting? But now ive seen the brooches.... yes. That is going to be it! Thanks so much for the inspiration once again, this wardrobe episode is a gem!

I'd wear it all! I think the skirt could be a little fuller, more a-line and less pencil.

@MariahPattie

That's it, that's what I didn't like. I imagined the skirt fuller, then I drew it narrow to fit beneath the other layers and it looks slim 🤷‍♀️

You mentioned the broaches and beads and that you thought they were called "Birka". Birka is the location of one of the grave sites that have been excavated by archaeologists, so you may see a lot of things saying "the Birka [this or that]". You'll see this a lot with Scandinavian graves being named after their location, so it isn't to be confused with the name of the item itself :)

My first thought was that I would wear viking inspired clothes without the modernasiations, but it turned out better than I expected. You are really good at picking out the features that makes the feel. Also love the shoe-making! This gave me many ideas. In my head, I really want to wear both viking and medieval styles as they are in modern day. But in reality, I will not do it. I actually need thoes modernatiations to be able to use them in everyday life.

I’m so in lOVE with your channel right now... Your capsule wardrobe videos are absolutely stellar, fantastic explanations of how to create unique and versatile pieces and I just 😭 I adore how you think like a worldbuilder when designing, rather than focusing on pure ~aesthetic~ you take function and practicality into real consideration, drawing upon the inspirations for answers to problems. 💗💗💗 (also eee!! the apron top is fantASTIC, i’ll have to make something like it for myself!)

Bringing back the beautiful!! Today's styles are jeans and a tshirt. UGH....been in mourning over our current fashions for years; couldn't take it anymore when I saw flower pots and plastic blow up for clothing going down the runways of Paris. I am also making a modernly styled victorian/edwardian/scottish full wardrobe for daily and seasonal wear. Thank you for this. My family is scottish & my husband's is norse so everything has to be styled for the benefit of our two cultures to pass on to our children, all as a cohesive past. I want them to know where they come from so it might help them figure out where they are going, and maybe they won't get lost along the way. I'm totally justifying making this wardrobe as it's all expensive, is by thinking that I am investing in the future of my family. As they will have a fantastic wardrobe to wear or copy or whatever AND if anything ever happens there will be hundreds and hundreds of yards of usable fabrics, furs, laces, silks & linens for my great grandbabies to use for their clothing if need be. I mean wow, we have never had access to such an extensive array of fabrics of every kind, laces of every style and thread, and furs from the farthest reaches of the earth (that have access to etsy or google) in history, Not to mention I can get ahold of just about every pattern you could dream of! It's amazing & very exciting! Sewing to my heart's content is bad for my wallet. Btw my dream turns into a horrible nightmare at the thought of doing all of this without my wonderful electric sewing helpers. The devil is in the details haha.

Yes! I'm so happy the algorithm is recommending you to others, as well. Your videos are made with a ton of attention and work and it shows! Hope to see you grow even more soon.

Watching the collar being made was like watching fireworks!

It is wonderful seeing the excitement and enthusiasm literally bubbling out of you! Excellent video! You truly have an amazing talent at creating capsule wardrobes, and doing then for particular time periods is truly next level! Incredible talent! Congrats on the channel going nuts! That's so awesome!

Your fluency with Illustrator is part of what makes this such a joy for me to watch.

I've been thinking of making my own wardrobe for a long time now and gathering ideas of what would be practical in my life and also looked cool and then I found this video and... this is it. This is literally the stuff I'd dedicate myself to make and wear. I'm too amazed right now to express how lucky I feel, but anyway THANK YOU!!!

I'm thinking of giving up on something I've been doing a long time today, and I was really glad to see this in my feed today, it's weirdly comforting

Please, gosh, you NEED to make a tutorial on those shoes! I need them!

I want it all! I'm looking forward to more sewing videos, although I would LOVE LOVE LOVE an Outlander themed capsule wardrobe so much!

I absolutely love this--I need that grey and red shirt. And I'd be really excited for more sewing videos! I love that you do different things on your channel--and everything I've seen so far is right up my alley :) Anyway, I'd love to see what you'd do with some Regency-inspired clothing.

Your digital skills are amazing! Ive never designed with a program, only the old fashioned way on paper. It’s such a joy to watch you create and it inspires me to keep on sewing!

Keep up the good work. I have always been a rebel when it came to clothing. My parents were constantly on my back to "dress normal" and would stress continuously about "what people would think". Finally, in my thirties, I decided I could dress how I wanted and sod what people thought. Being a part offirst a re enactment group, then a LARP community have given me sooooo much leverage to take my wardrobe where I want. I now encourage my grown children to do the same, and make garments for my grandchildren. I am pleased to see they dress how they feel, not always how convention suggests. Well done.

I've been so excited for this to come!

I’ve been waiting for this one 😊. You did not disappoint.

I made 3 apron dresses, very similar to the one shown at 3:28. One is inauthentic but TOUGH red cotton duck cloth, the other two are more-authentic linen (a blue one & a green one). All three are mid-calf length. Worn with a linen shift, tablet-woven belt, head kerchief, cooking knife & keys, boots & 10th century repro bling, I am all set to cosplay. Over a tank top or sleeved T-shirt, with slip-on sneakers or Mary Janes, these apron dresses are fine to wear to town. Of course my apron dresses have capacious side seam pockets. ALL my clothes have decent pockets, lol.

Just perfect. Such an interesting and original content. I love it.

I love your capsule wardrobes, and those shoes are amazing! One of my favourite things about this one is how much layering you can do, I would never have considered layering two dresses together before but it looks great! I'm pretty tall and always have trouble with dresses and skirts being too short, maybe this is the answer. Looking forward to your new sewing videos!

OMG that green tunic and the brown tunic. I need those in my life and I think the sewing wouldn't be too hard and it would just become an embroidery project that could be so cool.

Love this!!! I've been wating to make a wearable apron dress for a while now...this has give me all the ideas! and also THAT FUR COLLAR!!!

I love this video. From your design process to the narrative to the end result, and o.m.g. those shoes!!! Please make a tutorial, that is, if you are so inclined. I'm absolutely certain I wouldn't be the only one who appreciates it. I'm not even sure which item of clothing I like best; they are all awesome and I would probably wear them all quite happily. Thank you for sharing it all.

I’m a Viking period reenactor who has a huge bug about historical accuracy. However, before you sigh and roll your eyes, I love your capsule wardrobe. Very cleverly done! Just in case it influences you in any way, those flaps down the front are a total historical misinterpretation and the overdress was more tube shaped with loop straps. BUT as I said...beautifully done. Burka is the place where a lot of clothing was found in graves.

I'm so glad your channel is doing well! Your work is fantastic as always :)

You just made shoes! What! They turned out soo good! And congrats for your channel taking off! You deserve it! My favourite pieces were the tunics, to be honest! The contrasting cuffs and collars have given me some ideas for future projects! Your videos are so inspiring!

You just gave me an idea! I have a pair of those - we call them "Bundschuhe", "drawstring shoes" - that got ruined due to a heavy rain on a medieval festival after which they were not dried properly. They molded and deteriorated in the sole area. I killed the mold with chlorine, but the sole is still damaged. I might make new soles for them and sandwich the damaged area between a thinner inner layer and the sturdy outer sole. I happen to have sole leather, because I once planned on making my own medieval shoes, but then ended up buying a pair.

These capsule wardrobe vids are so helpful it helped me so much as Im currently slowly sewing my own historical inspired capsule wardrobe.

Can we talk about how fantastic it is that you just casually cut to *making* the shoes??

I was kind of sceptical about this video because norse and viking culture has never been my cup of tea but I thought "Come on, it's Mariah Pattie, even if it's bad it's going to be good!" and then I saw that apron t-shirt with laced sides and I fell in love! Tho I will also admit that I was disappointed when the fur collar went from colourful to brown, it's just so unfair they didn't have colourful animals to make collars out of...

@marinary1326

Lol, I was actually worried when I saw the colorful fluff in the collar before she changed everything to the brown gradient. To me, the bright colors read more like parrot feathers than fur :P I suppose the most colorful natural fur option they would have would be red fox fur... now that would have been really interesting to see as a collar! Though for the purposes of a capsule wardrobe it would make it slightly less versatile I guess.

I’m very inspired by your modernization of Viking style. I’m going to use my LL Bean split neck 3/4 sleeve tee and embroider a Nordic design around the neck and bottoms of the sleeves. I’m also going on the hunt on EBay/ThredUp for the Everlane “Japanese GoWeave Picnic Dress” because I think I can embellish it with the broaches/necklace detail and get a bit of the Viking flavor into my wardrobe. So fun! Have you watched the great Viking documentary on the British Museum’s KZread channel? I watched it last night. I think you will love it.

The green tunic is my absolute favourite. It's so beautiful, I need to make a similar one. I think it will blend into modern outfits just perfectly, but adding a special twist. Love it! And your other videos as well, they are so inspiring to watch. Thank you a lot

So I finally got around to watching this. I do medieval reenactment with an emphasis on Norse/Viking. I've been needing to update my work wardrobe and the red dress style is so going into my rotation (as soon as I have a chance to get to making it.) and you've inspired me to up my game on the skirts I'm going to make. I'm going to adding trim/embroidery to some of them.

Loooove the shoes! And everything else also. Pretty and versatile

Lovely! I personally would lean towards a less fitted style for the skirts, but that's just what I like. I love the embroidery and the detail you put into that. I do Viking-era living history events and all of my outfits are a bit of a work in progress. I finish an apron dress, wear it, add embroidery as I go. They're never completely "finished" in that sense because I can always add or change trim and add on to the embroidery. I do the apron dress style that is closed up the sides, with triangle gores for fullness. The lighter-coloured blouse was very reminiscent (for me) of the Rus styles, from the more eastern end of the Viking world. The shoes are fantastic. The modern version of those are called ghillies, and are used in Irish and Scottish dancing. I've thought about making or buying a pair because I love how they look.

Wow, I love this concept (and video!!) so much!! I would love to see a capsule wardrobe for ancient greek / roman inspired wardrobe :)

You made me realise what I needed in my life. Viking-style embroidery on modern clothing. Oh gosh, yes. Though it may prove a bit difficult to carry out because I can't draw a simple clear line in the right direction for the life of me, which is also why I watched the process of you drawing the fur with rising awe and my jaw totally dropped to the floor at the end result. This is magic. And then you actually made shoes too :O I'm so glad you made this video! I happen to have some nerdy knowledge of the period and place in question, and I'm gonna share because this is what one does with nerdy knowledge, and maybe it's even going to be of use to somebody ;) This tablet-woven band with a braid pattern you used on the neckline edge of the red dress is actually based on a find from Birka, IIRC, although the original one was brocaded with gold (or silver?) wire, hence it survived. The pattern on the trim you added to the green apron dress is called kivrim or 'running dog' and is traced to... 19th c. Turkich or otherwise Arabic carpets ^^" But it's a beautiful pattern nonetheless and fitting for Viking-inspired clothes. The deer antler pattern is not historical, and the previous applies to it as well in my opinion. On an unrelated note, check out this blog post on a full reconstruction/interpretation of one grave from Birka, I think its super interesting: cheyenneolander.blog/2020/06/01/an-attempt-at-recreating-grave-507-from-birka (its not my blog, not my work, this is not an ad)

Coming back to this thread because as I was pondering over the idea of adding tablet-woven trims to modern clothes, I realised one important thing. Tablet weaving produces very thick and sturdy bands (as for every thread you see on the outside there are 3 more hidden beneath + weft), and therefore would be very cumbersome to use. There is, however, a technique called missed hole in which you use only two threads per tablet (and it's period-accurate - apparently the Vikings didn't like their trims too bulky either ;) ) But then there is still the problem of it very possibly behaving differently than the rest of the garment (shrinking)... I think faking it by replicating the patterns with embroidery on a regular contrasting cloth trim would be the way to go about it in modern clothing. P.S. I think you did quite solid research for this video, after all nobody can be an expert on everything :)

I was so eager for this one ^-^
