Victorians in the Snow // The Toasty Warm Qualities of Wool, Fur, and Layering

[@tracieeaton1082]

"I am a Lady, and Ladies can get up!" LOL I have never laughed so much, thank you.

[@sunshine-b3m5o]

"I'm a lady! Ladies can get up! I just gotta get some momentum..." Girl this was the most relatable moment lol 🤣 Y'all looked like you had so much fun!

[@thesuckyseamstress]

If only the momentum had worked! Lol!

[@rd6203]

@@thesuckyseamstress I shriek-laughed so much, so hard! My roommate came in all grumpy like "Nothing's *that* funny!" And i was like "You have to watch!" and he tried so hard, but he too laughed at "I'm a Lady! Ladies can get up." I genuinely haven't laughed so well in a very long time. There is no way in a million that I would have laughed in that situation. I would have been sullen and spiky before I fell in. Snow is *Not A Thing* for me

[@theplussizecostumer]

Sorry that Emily fell, but it was so much fun watching you both have fun in the snow. I laughed so much. Hope the only thing she wounded was her pride.

[@soileilkkala8831]

Looks like you had really good time . Your friend Emily seems to be great fun as company . You looked very elegant shoe skating out in a snow , I could picture you wearing skates on actual ice ,your movements were very lovely .

[@Anopano3000]

"I think it's weight-bearing" *immediately falls through* still laughing XD

[@ladygray6522]

So it’s midnight here and about 5F, but the fire is glowing and everyone is asleep and I’m holding my hand over my mouth and nose to keep from guffawing aloud! Hilarious! Emily’s a keeper! 😂

I LOVE Emily's fur-lined cap, I stan SO much and Rebecca, you look so elegant and pretty.

Omg when you were wearing your mask and with your hair colour and style in the snow you looked so much like Penelope in bridgerton! Like normally I don’t see that, so I think it’s really your eyes and the hair of the day! And also the smiley eyes you can see even when your face is covered ☺️

[@roxiepoe9586]

I am first! Just dumb luck, but I'll take it. :) You are so blessed in your friend. She wants to play. I love Emily. (I hope she wasn't wearing split drawers.) I'm currently living through the worst snow spell Texas has ever had. I am cold. (I layer : panty hose, tights, socks, then the things that can be seen.)

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you - she truly is such a wonderful friend! (and don't worry, I think we were both wearing leggings!) I feel for all of you in Texas right now - I'm guessing you at least have power? I know a bunch of my friends have been without power for a long time down there, too.

[@GiraffeLoverJen]

You and Emily remind me of me and my best friend and the fun adventures we have when we're together! I'm glad you guys had a great day and that you conquered your fear of the ice. Omg, I'm so scared of frozen lakes too. I live near Phoenix, Arizona where we have nothing frozen (😂) and it's still mostly warm enough outside to wear a short sleeve shirt!

[@veronicahuffines7707]

Did you get enough snow this week? My children were snow shoeing in our back yard north of Seattle.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I really liked it, though I wish it had lasted a bit longer. It was enough for me to go take some fun snow pics in various costumes, at least!

[@Chibihugs]

The length adjustment buttons on your petticoat are a brilliant addition.

[@RachelLee-fw2oe]

This was so cute XD You both remind me of my interactions with my sisters. Emily stuck in snow was definitely a highlight for me haha

You may be dissapointed by my KZbin. Rebecca keeps trying to motivate me to make videos. Maybe I'll do one about not having motivation lol

[@quicksilvertears921]

I totally get your adventure as a Portland area person. No.. its raining 🌧 maybe it will have snow? Yes! Snow! And that caplet is gorgeous.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

"Because I'm 5..." made me laugh. I do snow removal at work and I leave the occasional snow angel hiding on the properties I deal with... I know people who can't get up in their full plate armour if they go down, and even when you can, it's about as elegant as you'd expect... :) "I live here now!" made me laugh hard enough to scare the rabbit away.... thank you so much for not editing that out. I've also never been brave enough to try driving in my armour, about the only thing I'm reasonably sure of is that the plates would wreck the car seat. And it was -18C this morning here (0F), so I need my earmuffs and ski gloves... However having done outdoor medieval events where we were getting snowed on all day when itwas just around freezing, wool is all kinds of awesome and even stays warm-ish when wet, unlike cotton.

[@digitaldgirl4459]

You girls tickled me so much on a bleary winter day. Almost spit out my coffee when Emily army man crawled out of the drift. You both looked so wonderful in your winter garb. I love your winter day antics. The view was magnificent. Thank you so much for this fun time.

[@ruthhorstman9155]

Every year my friends and I go ice skating in our Victorian clothing. It is so much fun.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

That sounds so fun! I got to do it on my Minnesota trip, but we don't have pretty outdoor rinks here (and it's a little less aesthetic in an indoor hockey rink.) 😉

Having a snowy day here in NM, perfect! You went to Lake Pepin? Were there any Little House historical sites to visit???

Yep, we went there to visit the Little House. I think it's a repro of the house she was born in, but it was still neat to see!

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

What fantastic outfits! That skating dress is just gorgeous. I’d get dressed to docent at Herman-Grima House in New Orleans on cold days in the kitchen/courtyard and be so happy for central heat! I did thermal long underwear, corset, their kitchen issue meh dress for 1840s, with Doc Martens boots and a big hat. Docs are fabulous with an ugly black dress 🤣 we didn’t know about quilted petticoats and such... Good god it was cold, we huddled by a roaring fire all day with the visitors all wedged in between the docent cooks.

You guys are having so much fun and It's so good to see you two out and enjoying yourselves. I almost forgot to tell you how beautiful you look today. I think it's time for you ladies get a hot cut of tea and something yummy to go with it and heat from a nice warm fire place.

[@DOSBoxMom]

I'd be happy to ship out some snow to you in Washington state! We got several inches' worth here (past my little dog's tummy, so she refuses to leave the sidewalk to "do her business"). If I could ship a lunchbox-full to my daughter in the Chicago suburbs (or she could probably find enough snow there herself), and we could talk an Amtrak employee into duct-taping the lunchbox of snow to one of the Empire Builder's cars, it could be in Seattle in only 3 days. (On the other hand, that does sound like a rather convoluted plan. Perhaps if you were just to travel far enough east in Washington to see snow, and wave at the Empire Builder as it goes past, you can probably assume that at least some of the snow clinging to it came all the way from Chicago!)

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

We actually got some snow this weekend! It's all gone now, but it was nice for the couple days it lasted.

[@thesuckyseamstress]

It sounds like an awesome plan though! Then there could be a secret password in order to retrieve the box and we'd have to dodge snow stealing goons that suddenly arrive with tommyguns but we escape by tying ourselves under the train by our petticoats and...um...or we can drive to snow... *le sigh*

[@k2lar]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions Yes, way way up on Highway 2/Stephens Pass. Some of the historical things aren't quite as obvious these days, of course, but there are some cool old storefronts and chalets -- and they've got a big ol' rail yard that I've always wanted to see used in a Victorian shoot (if something like that can even be arranged with BNSF or whomever, I don't even know) since the lines of the rails would be such an interesting setting/compositional element. Maybe another historical town would be better than Skykomish proper; it was just the first one I thought of!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

@@k2lar Good to know! I've been wanting to do an eastern WA exploration trip in general, to find some of the ghost towns or older pioneer towns and such out there. As far as railyards go, a couple years ago for Snoqualmie Railroad days, they had the train ride (which has a car from 1912) stop at their depot museum, so we got to take some pictures with historic trains in there). Plus the Snoqualmie station in general is very aesthetic looking, too.

[@emholmes1]

You didn't mention having these, and they're a little late for what you were wearing, but I have the Alpen retro winter booties from American Duchess, and they are the best snow shoes I've ever owned. I've spent a lot of time in the snow, and I was even a ski patroller at one point, so I've spent a lot of time in snowboots, and they're the only snowboots I've owned that I actually like and keep my feet warm (including the most expensive ones that were equivalent in price to the AD ones). Because they're made of velvet, the snow sits on top of the pile and brushes right off, even the 'cascade concrete' we get up here in WA that's super wet and dense. Because they're not rubber or plastic, your feet actually stay warm. They're not super tall, so in deep snow you'll get some down the back of the ankle, but because they're lined with wool, it's fine as long as you get the snow out pretty quickly. I've worn them now three times in 2' or deeper snow while clearing snow and walking a lot, and they haven't been damaged in any way from it. I totally get not wanting to risk expensive shoes, but I would think the carriage boots, of they're also velvet might actually work better than modern snow boots. I know my AD boots are waaaaaay better than even the most expensive modern style ones I've owned. It might be worth a try next winter. :)

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Do the Alpen booties have rubber soles? I think the carriage boots are just leather soles.

[@emholmes1]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions yes! They do have rubber soles. I have the 'imperfect' brown ones, but I can't find any imperfections. I should have tried my camilles in the snow to see how the leather sole does, but I'm sure they probably aren't as good as rubber, so that's too bad. Dang! Either way, I was really impressed with the ingenuity of the design, and I was so surprised by how effective they were.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

@@emholmes1 That's good to know! I don't think I'll wind up ordering the Alpens at any point, but they are cute! (and I've never found any imperfections in my imperfect AD shoes either)
