First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching!

I personally LOVE the lookbooks! These would kill as YT shorts too: a great way to get more eyeballs on your awesome videos.

[@Eloraurora]

Seconding this! I know she puts in a lot of effort into the lookbooks, and it shows. She mentioned a while back that she was concerned that having such long videos as her usual might be limiting her audience, and I think these epic looks (combined with a "BTW I made this") could help gain more viewers.

[@emilythomas6776]

Agreed!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Teri! If I had any time/sense I would figure out how to clip these things into tik toks, but I am old and not hip 😂

[@susansmith8602]

It is such a pleasure to support your work. Everything you put out is of the highest quality, classy and artistic. I always enjoy seeing the combinations you put together as I wouldn’t think to pair some of the colors you use and it always works for such a glamorous punch! I think you were singing at one point and you do that well also! You are a gifted individual, Bianca.

[@annguglielmino8989]

Indeed you are. I was watching this thinking your talent will take you far and one day we will all say 'I remember when she was on KZbin'.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you so much Susan ❤

[@hyyariima]

The music, props, setting, lighting, scripting, graphics, fashion, accessories, editing and most importantly YOU makes your look books a decadent treat to Savour. My favorite is the lace dress with glitter.shoes & complementary accessories.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Can't go wrong with rhinestone spider web shoes 😅🕸✨

[@ladytaliastorm8882]

The editing and special effects on this Look Book are superb! And you look absolutely fabulous as always. I really can't pick a favorite... but those vests - I do truly love a vest.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Talia! Got to love vests 🖤

[@kirsten4211]

Love these looks. I LOVE that you kept the echo-y voice effect for the second part where you were explaining things. Also lol @the star wars t-shirt making a cameo.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kirsten! Got to test that lighting with a Star Wars pajama outfit first 😂

[@nataloves]

I thought nothing could beat putting faux fur collars on clothes, and then you whipped out the sparkling shoes... I'm dead and buried. I'm so glad I'm able to throw money at you! Beats Starbucks any day!

[@kayemcmullen]

I’ll drink Italian coffee to that!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!! ❤ I spotted those shoes by accident last year and was so excited 😍🕸🖤

[@violetteplague3043]

I love how you did the look book and then explained each outfit in the second half of the video.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thanks! I was trying to figure out a bit of a styling plus how-to style situation, may experiment further with it in the future!

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Very nice! Like the half cinematic, half informative format in this lookbook! Best of both worlds!

[@waterbitten]

+1

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rebecca!

[@staceyking5350]

The black rayon gown is just sublime. I love your lookbooks; the outfits, the alliterations, the sets, the atmosphere and the stories you create...just glorious! But it's especially interesting to hear the reasoning behind how you put the outfits together and accessorised them.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Stacey! Putting the outfits together is one of my favorite parts of doing thee, I just love styling from the clothes to the set so it's great fun for me ❤✨

[@raylin1596]

Living (or at least undying) for all the fantastic alliterations.

[@slothburglar]

The editing on this is RIGHTEOUS.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Casey!

[@laurierogers8538]

I'm so glad you did a look book. I was so needing one. I love that you showed the outfits in detail at the end. Love your new things. Really like the brighter gloves.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Laurie!

[@StephanieCanada]

WHA?! We get Bianca doing some outtakes?! I am HERE FOR IT!!

Amazing look book & that vintage suit with the scalloped pockets was an unexpected detail that I love. Wow

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@kjtherrick4031]

Thanks for this wonderfully stylish treat! The faux fur and the glittery spiderweb heels are terrific, as was just about everything.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! 🕸

[@kirstenpaff8946]

That last black dress is so elegant. Definitely getting some serious Morticia Adams vibes.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kirsten!

[@tiamatmichellehart6821]

When I saw that thumbnail I thought you might wear it with pants, but the pencil skirt & heels give it a higher level of class, I think!

[@chaeburger]

I've been looking forward to this lookbook! It's phenomenal!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Chae! ❤

[@lauriepelayo296]

The look books are one of my favorites!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

This was super fun! You're making me want to put together fun looks to wear to karaoke. I need to get back into sewing for myself rather than just for my dolls. 🙃

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Siansonea!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Dawn!

Obsessed with the super bright glove accents!

[@kckazcoll1]

I am forever in awe of your work, Bianca! The attention to detail, the set complete with jack o' lanterns that must have taken a long time to prepare, the special effects and of course the clothes! Your styling is sublime and as always, you look utterly gorgeous! Thank you so much for this 😍

As usual you present us an array of beautifully arranged outfits, thank you for the inspiration! Also, I appreciated the final more in depth description of them too, I would have totally missed the gorgeousness of the spiderweb shoes otherwise!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Andrea!

[@evatrostlos]

So I just finished my to-sew-list for the next couple of months but now I need both the dress with the gathering detail as well as the last one. Loved the look book, everything looked amazing!

I don't wear dresses or skirts, my only gloves are gortex or fingerless woollens and my most glamorous shoes are a pair of black Mary-Janes with a 1.5" platform heel... but gosh, I really enjoyed this video.

"Have you ever seen a monster?" "No." "Have you ever caught a movement out of the corner of your eye but when you turn there is nothing there?" "Yes!" "Then, you have seen a monster."

[@lesleyharris525]

Thank you for the warning, vertigo treated and I can totally enjoy watching you, it's lovely to see another look book, it gives ideas for how to style clothes in different ways, nice to see you goofing around and boping to the monster mash.💖

That gold suit is breathtakingly 😍

[@Zeppylvr]

Oh my goodness you have outdone yourself with this production! That gold suit is to die for and looks amazing on you….I love the lace overlay do you have a video out for that …maybe I missed it…anyway …you are a master at design, production and editing …well done! Your work is so important ! Happy All Hallows’ eve! It sounded like you singing…was that you ?? It was amazing!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Margo! I don't have a video for the lace dress, though I do show how I sew darts in lace in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aobRhmekfNeGmac This black lace dress is an A-line skirt, and my basic all-in-one sleeve bodice, and then hemmed with silk charmeuse at the hem and as bias to finish the neckline and sleeve hems. And it was me singing yes 😅

[@suzanne529]

This is a really fun Lookbook! The brooch I like the most is the saber! I liked the gold gaberdine suit (doesn't wool gaberdine sew up nicely?), the lace dress with the spiderweb shoes, and the long black dress. All of them are wonderful and the video is top notch. Love your jammies!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Suzanne! Sadly I have never had the pleasure of sewing with wool gaberdine, the golden suit here is vintage from the 1940's ❤

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I’m awed. Everything is fabulous. You are fabulous. Color combo: raisin, rust and pickle. Genius!

[@TheClosetHistorian]
