For everyone questioning how long it takes to get everything off: As someone who has to dress this way every day for work at a museum, let me tell you that after wearing this stuff for 8+ hours rain or shine, it is very easy to get everything off if you're desperate enough (only a couple minutes max). It's like watching the wicked witch melt

Following for deats

[@lt.dundee2127]

@Honeymoon. It only takes a few minutes to get everything on once you get used to it, and it's actually pretty comfortable so long as you're wearing everything properly. If you're wearing historically accurate fabric (nothing synthetic) it breathes really well, so you won't feel any more hot than you would in shorts and a T-shirt. Plus, it protects your skin from the sun which keeps some of the heat off too

[@wakinglucia]

[@arthas640]

@@FabulousCthulhu yeah, wool and pure cotton actually breath REALLY well, it's synthetic fibers that trap in moisture and make you feel sticky and hot. their cotton would have been extra breathable since it was a looser knit and was natural rather than treated and close weaved like ours. This is especially true with fabrics like wool (which is warm even when its wet) and silk (which sheds moisture when its too hot). After wearing some clothes similar to this outside in layers you'll realise how limiting our clothes are, since they're really only comfortable in a narrow range on temperatures, which is why so many people complain about being hot when alot of others are too cold.

[@idontknow_idkguineapigs]

[@Hannah-nl5qq]

for all the people who have mentioned the heat, and those who I'm sure will continue to do so, let me save you some time. clothes then were made of all natural fibers, wool was warm for the winter, and linen is very cool for the summer, linen breathes extremely well, so you're not as hot as you'd think, we're accustomed to clothes that have polyester, nylon, rayon, ect in them, synthetic plastic based fibers which do not breathe well at all, they trap the sweat to our bodies, which is why we think they'd be hot, but they weren't because of the linen worn in the summer. working women did not lace their stays tight, they were just used to hold the breasts in place while working to keep them out of the way since there were no bras the number of layers is for several reasons. 1, it gives the silhouette that was fashionable for the time, 2, it provides the modesty they valued, 3, it protected their fair skin from the sun before the invention of sunblock, and 4, (in my opinion, most importantly), it provided layers to absorb sweat and dirt and what not so the outer clothes didn't smell, just like our underwear nowadays will stink much faster than a pair of jeans. same reason really. believe it or not, they did know that they smelled bad and really didn't like it, they tried to avoid it when possible, they did value cleanliness, filth was for the devil. they did not get naked for sex, since there were no panties, the skirts were just lifted and that was it, so no it wouldn't take that long getting dressed only took a few minutes, especially once you're used to the routine now for an example from personal experience, every summer I volunteer for a weekend at a living history museum doing a 1815 reenactment as a pioneer farm woman. I wear layers like hers, but the jacket sleeves are longer and it closes with ties instead of pins as that was more fashionable then. I do this weekend in July or August and i work a farm, I do so in a shift, petticoat, set of stays, stockings, work boots, skirt, jacket, cap over my hair, bonnet when I go outside and an apron. all the clothes I wear are made of natural fibers EXCEPT my modern day stockings which have polyester in them and I will say my lower legs sweat the most of any part of me. it's not as hot as you'd think, and the stays actually prevent you from hurting your back while doing work like tilling soil this is a topic I know a lot about, if I've forgotten anything and you have any questions, I can probably answer them.

Well, this is specifically about working class women, they didn't have plenty of food, they usually weren't fat I think, I'm not an expert.

[@SamanthaMooney]

Contrary to many opinions found in the comments, eighteenth century attire is extremely comfortable and fairly cool. I worked as a historical interpreter for Colonial Williamsburg and expierenced hot summers. These outfits were designed pragmatically. The shift helps wick away sweat and reduces the need to wash garments. Thought stays can cause some heat retention, they are fairly flexible and help support posture and aid in lifting. In the summer, petticoats and other garments are made of linen which is breathable and cool. I often found my historical more comfortable then modern clothing. The apron makes a great pocket, and petticoats allow for a wide range of movement. Other than the stays, nothing is stiff, and as the video highlighted, your clothing could be adjusted easily on a day to day basis. Once you get used to it, it would take me ten to twelve minutes tops to get fully dressed. This outfit is much more comfortable than you would think! ☺

something i learned from bernadette banner (shoutout) is that because only the layer worn closest to the skin was washed regularly, outer clothes actually lasted much longer! also this makes me want to wear big skirts so i can fit GIANT pockets under them! modern fashion silhouettes just don't accommodate space for books/food/secret items storage

How so? Every piece of clothing has a practical purpose. What we percieve as impractical is largely due to the work women would usually do back then, as well as the technical limitations of those days.

[@kamym4937]

Happle Jr well actually Shift: protects you from the stays pinching your skin and wicks away sweat. Linen is very breathable Stays: provide support for breasts and back, and aren’t restricting at all, making sure they fit will. Petticoats: provide warmth and keeps bugs and scratchy plants away from the legs, and aren’t heavy st all. They have loooots of room for movement, and are usually at about the ankle or a bit above so walking and working is easy. Jacket: modesty, keeps sun and bugs away from arms, just like a jacket or shirt today. Kerchief: keeps sun off chest. Hat: keeps sun off face and eyes Apron: I think this is obvious.

[@catwoman1263]

FlyingMonkies325 That's because the clothes we wear today are mostly made of synthetic materials that don't breathe and hold in heat. The natural materials they used (wool and linen mostly) were very breathe-able. The white under gown was the piece that was changed daily; our version of underwear. In summer time, the more skin you cover, the cooler you will be (if you use natural materials) because the blood under the exposed skin gets heated and when it returns to the core, it makes you hotter. There's a reason desert tribes cover up. :-D

I'm sure you are a brilliant person, but I'm sure it has to do with the fact that women want to show their bodies more off to show they're sexy and beautiful.

Marissa Hettinger: Oh I disagree. I bet you've never worn anything like it, so you're just projecting how uncomfortable it would feel to wear several layers of the type of clothes you wear now. I have worn a well fitted corset before, and I guarantee you it is pretty comfortable. It provides good support, and feels like a snug hug, rather than feeling pinchy or restrictive. Helps you keep good posture and look your best too! And full skirts are really fun and give a very feminine feeling. I recommend you try it someday before you decide it can't be comfortable.

if it was natural then people would just walk around naked haha your presumed attractiveness level of women and what clothes you think she should wear is completely dictated by the society you live in

Kathryn you are stupid, relgion is stupid, the world is stupid, and you are missing the point, all of the clothing items are there for *practical* purposes not religious purposes! Is she wearing a wooden cross (denoting the Christian faith) ? No she isn't!

Wow - isn't there another way to disagree other than calling someone "stupid". Please a little respect - James Goldring
