YES! Lol Imagine it’s the 17th century, you aren’t upper class, you’ll never have your picture painted and of course there are no cameras - HOWEVER you go skating one day, and see a man painting the scene. You really want to be memorialized in this painting - it’s your only chance of a lifetime. You decide to show off your best moves, skating in a spin. Only you face plant onto the ice, the wind blowing up your skirt and - voila! You’re memorialized, all right! Forever caught in a face plant that people will be talking about literally hundreds of years later, and the worst/best part? Your face doesn’t even make it into the painting.

[@arwengrune]

Love it! FYI: walking on skates while still on land, is called "klunen" in Dutch. We take our skating very seriously :)

[@pumpkingrantaire3861]

i was wondering, do waters freeze over in the netherlands anymore so you can skate on them? it's so interesting to see these old paintings, but seeing how the weather changed so much with climate change it also makes me sad and nostalgic... for example here in germany the last time a lake froze over so much you could skate on it was when i was a child probably 16 years ago. since then winters have been increasingly warm with a few exceptions but even then it was never cold enough or enough snow for all these winter activities

@@pumpkingrantaire3861 Yes, but only for a week or two. Mostly in February, so hopefully soon. But yes, it's been getting warmer. We hardly ever have snow in the Netherlands, now or in the past. It's cold that makes ice, anyway. In fact snow isn't good for making smooth ice, so if it does snow, people here sweep the ice before dark each day, so the snow doesn't freeze into the ice over night, making it uneven. In the 17th century, there was a mini ice-age, of about 100 years.All of those paintings that are in the video, are from that time, too.

[@maanlicht8583]

Many of dutch traditional dresses have the halfish sleeves. The half sleeves were probably just practical bc women worked hard and didn't need their sleeves in the way with washing, cleaning and cooking. And then for the sun- and festive days the pretty sleeves (or a jacket) were put on, (sleeves maybe would've been easier to be warmer without another layer that a jacket would add) I'm Dutch but to be honest I don't even understand the why of half of our traditional clothing🙃 Edit: spelling errors

[@elainestokes2787]

A half sleeve jacket called a ‘betgwn’ is part of the Welsh national dress so it’s not surprising to me that they’re found elsewhere in Europe too.

[@HolandaChiquita]

Hi, ook een Nederlandse hier :) I was told that it was also a way to wear your clothes longer. Especially for girls growing up and for younger women getting pregnant and having babies. Because their body shape would change so much, this style could accommodate this a bit better for a longer time. Poor people often didn't have more than two or three full sets of clothing.

As a Dutch subscriber, I loved this project. I've always loved these old paintings so much, they're often soo busy, so many people are depicted on the ice and all the things that were going on. The Dutch painters loved to put humor in it like falling people and peeing dogs, playing children. You can stare at those paintings for a long time and still discover something new.

[@lestranged]

I love that style of old paintings, not kings and queens posed stiffly in their finest jewels, just normal people doing normal things we still do today. They have such a warm, relatable, humanist vibe to them.

12:25 sew-ception; I'm sewing something while watching/listening to Karolina sew/explain a sewing project 😂 anyone who's with me? 🤗😁 P.s. I'm pretty sure you tied those skates incorrectly, usually there are loops at 4 points ( which these seemed to have ) and then you take the long strap/cord and feed it through all 4 loops, leaving you with the loose ends at the back of the skate. This would then be brought to the back of the ankle, where they'd be crossed and then brought back to the front of the ankle where you'd tie them. Though some of these skates have a leather backing which eliminates the need to wrap the strap around your ankle. These skates are called "houtjes" or "Friese doorlopers" in Dutch you should find pictures if you Google that 😊

[@marijeb278]

This was amazing!! I learned to skate on these as a small child (which sounds very long ago but it was the nineties, so...) Terrible in every single way to skate in, they usually ended up all askew under your feet or even on top of it, and you basically became a maniacally, uncontrollably gliding toddler with machetes on her feet, but still, such fun! The design is called "Friese doorlopers" (Frisian run throughs) and a lot were tied with thick cotton or linen straps, so that's not too historically inaccurate, I'd guess?

I'm going skating with friends and planning on wearing a long dark green coat and long brown skirt and I'm Dutch! This couldn't have come at a better time

[@martaszymanska8759]

Thank you so much for doing a 17th-century outfit! I'm writing my PhD thesis on the first half of this century, and I love to see it coming to life thanks to your excellent skills. Also, "Kitty, co ty robisz?"

The feminine urge to start sewing a 1600's outfit at midnight after watching this video

[@ohrats731]

What a cool recreation! I like the partlet, I would wear that lol. Also super jealous of the house you stayed in for your winter vacation! I looooove houses with wooden walls like that. Idk it just calls my ancestral DNA lol. Supposedly I do have Dutch ancestors. I wonder if they ever wore that outfit at the time 🙂

[@Porouskilldeathratio]

hey dont diss your colour palette, it comes off as sophisticated

[@cyberneticwarmachine]

So surprised to see Dutch fashion "deep" dive! Always English/American fashion but Dutch is underrated! - my girlfriend who is a big follower of your content!:)

[@christineg8151]

That outfit was adorable! I think your pure speculation bits seemed very reasonable.

[@lazykitten12]

I like to imagine that the artist that painted that woman falling over was debating whether or not to paint up her dress. He probably was like "No that's wrong I shouldn't BUT I must in the name of ART!" and Karolina is like thanks for showing me the underside bestie now I can construct the dress.

✨Pure Speculation✨ but IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD ! ♥️ plus green and red are my favourite colours so I love it extra much😌♥️🌿

[@carolyngriffith9793]

I love this! I also really love the paintings as references. As a painter, it would be so cool if you guys in the historical costuming community could pair up with painters and do some portrait and life paintings. I think it would be interesting from a painting perspective and a fun use of all your costumes. :)

I love it when you recreate scenes from paintings.

The absolute mood of switching the language mid sentence

[@kfries1282]

I love watching you work on historical pieces that take guesswork. And that partlet is awesome *wonders if I should make a partlet for everyday wear*

[@eoinoreilly9817]

haha, i only started the video and already loved it. also, my history teacher was complimenting me the other day and in real life i was like 'oh stop' but in my mind i was 'tyty, ik im obsessed with history, i have posters of it'. like is it just me or when the history teacher compliments you it just hits different? anyways ty for reading bye.

[@EfeFlet]

I'm na archaeologist now but when I was in high school and my history teacher complimented me it really hit different and I blame them for fueling my passion for history! What's you favourite period?

[@eoinoreilly9817]

@@EfeFlet im a huge ship enthusiast, so my favourite period would have to be like late 1800s - early/mid 1900s, mostly because that's like the time of the most iconic ocean liners aha. what about you? also its so cool that your teacher fueled your passion! :D

[@crystilmurch5659]

You say "cringy," we say "awesome!" Loved watching the process. Loved that you used other items that were close enough to approximate the look. Historically, they were all about using what they had so this was a wise choice. :)

[@pawakin]

Its really neat something dutch specific! Rather then broadly english / french, variety is the spice of life!
