Dressing up in a 1886 hunting dress

[@theedwardianwriter]

It is my unending contention that the Victorian editions of this season should just be called “Priorattire versus Buttons”

[@astrothsknot]

"Travels without my button hook"

[@MisterCynic18]

The zipper was mankind's greatest invention

[@otterheart3844]

As a seamstress I would rather sew 10,000 tiny button holes than 1 zipper. 😅

[@elle8953]

It was also invented in Canada

[@pay1370]

Gaiters should make a comeback, those things are hella cute

[@sadiemcc9363]

"No animals were harmed during the *shoot"* I see what you did there.

[@mamadeb1963]

That skirt looks very practical - the length won't get in your way, or get too muddy, and even the bustle adds a lot of fullness, which means it won't get in the way of walking or running. It might catch on branches, though.

[@nelegrund5041]

I noticed two things within the first minute: 1. You never seem to habe a button hook when you need it. 2. Your smile while putting on stripy stockings. Its cute and fun and just what my expression was upon seeing those 😆

[@UYTRELLO]

The construction of this beautiful attire must be one of the trickiest ever!, specially the all-in-one bustled skirt. Congratulations!

[@SuperDolly64]

I love waistcoats too-there was a shop called Droopy and Browne -they had really long line waistcoats in all sorts of tweeds-to be worn with long skirts, I loved them , I think that was the 90's-1990 not 18 or 17!! love your videos xx

[@vandas5613]

Lovely ensemble. Love how the corset provides the perfect foundation to show off the waistcoat. Boy am I glad I don't have buttons to deal with when I dress for work...I'd never be on time!😁

[@tjw9985]

Buttons are also the bane of my existence. My wedding dress had it down most of my back. A mistake I have never made since. However they do look very smart on your hunting dress. Is your next video using a black cat accessory? I enjoy that particular accessory very much.

[@rosieanox7557]

Will we be seeing any 17th century ladies in the foreseeable future? I love all the extra information packed into the text during your videos, and anything you could teach us about then would be super appreciated!

[@lindafredtrauffer8175]

“Darn, I lost some weight!” Well......hurrah!

[@ellaisplotting]

I was so fascinated by this entire ensemble, my only thought throughout was 'i want to make that', so I audibly gasped when you mentioned a second book!! Your first one is on my bed rn so i have it in reach at all times, and is one on my most treasured (and definitely one of the most useful) books.

[@priorattire]

Thank you! :1))

[@Lic021]

I love that red and blue combo!

[@susannahallanic1167]

I love everyone of your videos or vblogs or whatever they are called. I like the way to play with the camera as if the viewer is sitting in the same room sipping a cup of tea while you're dressing.

[@Sam-wi2he]

I love this channel it is so creative and fun to see what clothing was like all of those years ago! Keep up the amazing work !! ❤️

[@dariazajac3496]

Izabela, you should wear hats on everyday basis. They look amazing on you in every video. You look fantastic in this outfit, beautiful one.

[@priorattire]

Oh thank you!

[@cassievanbrunt7791]

Part of me loves that your videos are so quick, but the other part has to go back and read, because actually watching the reality of dressing for the period, for some reason is totally fascinating.

[@rebekahfowler2958]

That waistcoats is gorgeous.

[@AdelaideBeemanWhite]

If you are without your buttonhook, a hairpin can perform double duty.

[@sheep1ewe]

Ah, i realy look forward to add it in my pattern collection! I was about to say that the first one is on my shelf, but that's not true since it has newer realy left the workbench... :)

[@lightheidi9009]

Striped stockings are everything.

[@agypsycircle]

Honestly, you railing at the buttons just makes these videos even better! Love the new look!

[@ranthropologist]

oh my gosh I'm so excited for the next book! I hope that includes swimming stuff - I'd love to make a swimming corset!

[@priorattire]

yes, it does, several in fact!

[@ranthropologist]

priorattire ahhh hooray!! you’re a genius and I’m so excited 💕

[@onespiceybbw]

Zippers were an amazing invention.

[@lynnpangburndc2062]

The fit was absolutely flawless! (Loved the music too!)

[@kated8119]

Reminds me of Jane’s yellow ensemble from Disney’s Tarzan!

[@bananiadhikari7116]

Yes☺

[@adriannegentleman83]

such a stunning hunting outfit, love it. especially that waistcoat. but oh those buttons, what were the Victorians thinking lol

[@jaimejohnesee]

Thank you so much for these videos. It's so interesting to see the different types of dresses from different eras.

[@jilledmondson6894]

BEAUTIFUL sporting outfit. Love your videos.

[@vikinglonghairdediconichai3935]

Amazing as always !!! Thank you for another window in history .lots of love and respect from Germany

[@canucknancy4257]

YAY! I was hoping for a video with this outfit. Great colour combination The burgundy and blue are fabulous together! Love the sneaky stripey stockings under the whole thing! I wonder...if you fell down on your bottom whilst hunting, would that bustle bounce you right back up? Just kidding. A stunning look all 'round. Thanks for sharing.

[@amberwebster83]

So beautiful and the color combination is perfect.

[@jtkesler164]

Lovely lady and a lovely dress as always, girl you and your mad sewing skills give me life

[@beth12svist]

That's a fabulous outfit done in fabulous fabric. :-)

[@type2280303]

This is again an absolutely stunning video, I always love to watch them. Would be stocked if women would get dressed again like this, absolutely love it !! This is far more elegant and nicer then the way people dress now :(

[@maryburger1232]

Jean it is not possible for most working women to wear this kind of clothes, I work in an engineering company and drive a pick-up truck for deliveries and material pick up , I wear jeans, safety boots/shoes , t-shirts or jumpers at work

[@emmacarter6033]

I love your videos so much! They really bring history alive for me.

[@nyotauhura7412]

6:30 "Pardon me, madam, your arse is askew."

[@cmickie3296]

These are the best videos on youtube. Mesmerizing.

[@kck9742]

1880s bustles... one time in history that a woman who asked, "Does my butt look big?" would want to hear "yes."

[@sdraper2011]

lol

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

Yes, it is fair to blame the dress, this time.

[@kateg7298]

Your comment made me laugh. The Kardashians may disagree though =)

[@linskeptikat9069]

Very beautiful! So practical for outdoors. I love the colors.

[@melissahubbard5039]

I came across your videos recently and absolutely love them. I love the old fashions and your still photos are amazing

[@morgansparhawk8410]

So beautifully crafted. Your talent never ceases to amaze me

[@natashabenjamin4222]

Those stockings are awesome!!!!! I love stripy stockings

[@AlexYorim]

One of the few times where showing your ankles, aside from beach and performing at the theatre, was acceptable. Is there a video that debunks the myths of the Victorian ankle taboo?

[@mtokurow]

The best dress to hunt the snark! ;)

[@billiejomcmillan7632]

You look amazing dear! And the weight loss is a positive-you look great! The outfit is super lovely💖

[@Hudson1910]

I would love some socks like those!

[@priorattire]

see the credits - you can order them in their shop!

[@clairebrent8546]

Ngl kinda looks like Star trek/SciFi with the asymmetry, cut, and the color blocks. Could see this in the background of any number of movies or TV shows. Almost looks... Imperial? Idk

[@sisuguillam5109]

The stockings!!! 🥰

[@125ams]

Lovely ensemble! The gaiters look similar to the half chaps I ride in now.

[@captaincrunchiii158]

I want waist coats to come back into fashion

[@priorattire]

who cares about fashion - wear them if you like them!

[@ccaffie1231]

they've always been in fashion and still are

[@lonahansen4990]

Why follow the transitory fashion industry? Wear what flatters you.

[@djahant]

I love it!! That waistcoat! Wow! Fits perfectly.

[@jerrywilkjr.6698]

That’s a great looking skirt. It has a lot of movement.

[@zentierra7803]

Interesting , how we often forget that upper-class women of that era were, in fact, quite active and "sporty", just as women from the lower-classes did, indeed, work very hard in often physically demanding jobs. Not what any could term as 'fainting couch shrinking violets' types ...

[@zentierra7803]

@saitar1337 Yes...that was _exactly_ my point.

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

@saitar1337 In addition to all mentioned by you above, people in 19 century had very poor diet. Working women&men in England often just ate bread (sometimes with a little bit of jam or dripping) and drunk tea through the day. Rich ladies&gentlemen, to the opposite, ate enormous amount of different dishes, consisting of lots of meat, fat, sugar,- and very little fiber, which kept them permanently constipated and caused many serious diseases. Corsets, which were pressing on the stomach, did not help to improve the digestion either. Also, if a lady wanted to be fashionable,- and most of them did wanted to be fashionable! - they laced their corsets (with the help of maids, of course) comparably tight. Which meant increased pressure on the lungs,- which, after a while, was resulting into pulmonary congestion. It, in turn, was "opening the door" to problems with breathing and also created a base for development of different pulmonary diseases. Bacterias&viruses were thriving in squeezed lungs, where the proper ventilation was compromised. Also, pulmonary congestion was one of the factors, playing role in the cases of acute heart failure. In order for the corset not to cause any health issues, it had to be laced very loose. It's also necessary to remember, that many girls were wearing corsets from the tender age of 5, and their lungs never had a chance to fully develop. Maids or older relatives, who were lacing the corsets for the kids, often did not pay much attention to the child's comfort and wishes, and laced as tight, as - according to adult opinion - would be "proper".

[@juliawagner1930]

I would love to know how you made that hairstyle! And the waistcoat looks amazing, 10/10 would wear this style in my normal life. Greetings from Germany 😍

[@priorattire]

Just rolled my hair vertically and pinned....

[@irismeyer9143]

Love the music!

[@beth12svist]

I loved it at the beginning but had to turn off sound halfway through because it got too repetitive. :P But yeah, it is nice music. :D

[@nancyvolker3342]

LOL! I love those stripey socks

[@katerinaaqu]

You and people like you make history learning much more fun! How awesome would it be if history teachers had historical attires matching the Era they are teaching at that lecture? Keep up your great work!

[@lilylovely4716]

Gorgeous!! Stunning fabrics, and great shapes and details!! And that hat is to die for!!

[@knoophouse]

Brilliantly done!

[@sadiemcc9363]

Could you do some more videos on the medieval period?

[@nikosgallery]

the socks are nice, a shame that by putting your boots on no one can see them after !

[@daalelli]

You did such a beautiful job of recreating that fashion plate!!! Truly lovely work.

[@karenwright6479]

Just lovely,I'm very impressed. Happy hunting,dear.

[@tinhola]

The waistcoat is so so beautiful! Wonderful video ♥️

[@AnnieNYC1]

Lovely work! That ridiculous bum booster thing, though...what a silly fashion that was. Did it at least keep the draft off of the lower back? 😉 loved the whimsy of the socks!

[@Lutefisk445]

Both beautiful and kinda badass. I love it.

[@debbieboring3422]

This is very smart I love the look. And you highlighted my two favorits at the end the garters and the waistcoat. I didn't know that Jersey fabric was used. When and how was it first used?

[@NaraelNico]

love the color combination!

[@rusteshackleferd8115]

Excellent video as always. Fun, educational, entertaining, and shows how easy we have it nowadays. 🤓😍🤓

[@ContrastY]

Lovely shade of blue

[@JadeStrawberry]

Great video of your latest outfit. You looked lovely as always. Congratulations on the new book.

[@saccharinesilk]

Wow, REALLY not the outfit to forget a button hook on!

[@Cory_Dora]

With how much some “hunters” want to return to the good old days, maybe they can start making these dresses in camo and will be sold at the local Walmart! Hahahahha!

[@survivalinwonderland5277]

Well done! Thank you for your videos! And your book too for that matter. I’m looking forward to your new one! 😃 when do you anticipate it’s publication? Being that I am also into making Victorian dresses 👗 and my other hobbies are shooting, hunting and bush crafting skills. 🏕 I will definitely have to make one of these dresses to see how it works out for actual shooting etc. You’ve just added more to my bucket list of sewing projects!

[@priorattire]

Probably another year or two!

[@survivalinwonderland5277]

priorattire Excellent! I will buy it as soon as it’s out! Thanks

[@crystalfabulous]

Absolutely fabulous. Thanks

[@dean8842]

She is sooooo dang cute! A big 'congrats' to her husband for landing such a prize catch. Gosh!...

[@priorattire]

thank you, i think. There was no catch involved, I am not property to catch and hold.....

[@dean8842]

@@priorattire Of course you're not, and I apologize if I came across as sounding crass or a 'throwback' when women were thought of as possessions. I was just trying to complement you on being you and as someone who I find attractive, as well as the good sense your husband obviously has in choosing you to share his life (and vice versa). No disrespect intended, honestly. I'll climb back into my hole now...

[@mikitta47]

Very beautiful garb. You did amazingly :)

[@piercecaitlinm]

SKS 17873 Or the “don’t” before it fell out. Personally I distinguish between hunting for food and population control and hunting for sport/trophies. (Guess which one I disagree with.)

[@catwhisperer7655]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed that very much.

[@ecclestonsangel]

Beautiful outfit, Izabela! I'm entranced! Could you tell me what the purpose of the gaiters are? I am very much afraid I couldn't quite figure out what they are nor what they're supposed to do. Your educating me would be most appreciated. Thank you!

[@brianneensign53]

As a pregnant woman it gave me anxiety to watch you button down that waistcoat. I would love to see a maternity ensemble from any period.

[@priorattire]

Have a look at our Georgian videos- maternity options were inbuilt. People often didn’t have specific garments, just used the ones that had normally

[@Tina06019]

My figure would look so much better with a decent bum roll under my skirts. I really like this ensemble.
