Thank you for the video. It’s good to be reminded of the dignity of my ancestors. It’ll help me take a little more care in my every day dress.

My favorite era for clothing. Beautiful, practical, and comfortable.

Very interesting. And finally I know why pins, not buttons!

Great description of the apron's practical uses. The shoes are a very good representation of 18th c shoes. And people love to see how women used pins to hold it all together! But then... Sigh... A woman would put her stays on over her shift - Chemise and fichu are French terms that weren't in common use until the early 19thc. Nor were pockets worn on the outside, even with the most exquisite needlework. The haversack was a military item made of heavy linen. And if women in the Wyoming Valley could afford it and were of a sufficient social status they would have dressed fashionably, even showing some 'skin' for more formal occasions. Thought it over and over again before posting, and decided to because people learn from videos like this. Best and current research has updated and given our knowledge of clothing more historically accurate terms. Sure the docents and the historical society want to present this lovely historical house to its best and most accurate advantage.

There are some great sew along videos on KZbin by Burnley and Trowbridge that'll take you from fabric to finished pocket in now time. And not just pockets.

Is this how they're doing it today or is this just a costume of what it was back in the old days can you please tell me

Oh my god whoever did the audio in the beginning of this video please do not do any more audio work. Either you were heavy breathing in the microphone the entire time or the person who corrected the audio to lay over the video did not edit those parts out which they should’ve and it is so annoying to listen to.

[@annieoscillator2833]

Maybe they should have asked you to do it then.

[@distaff2935]

Didn't notice it at all. I thought it was a beautiful and informative presentation.
