If I could rate this higher I would. The most interesting series I've ever seen on clothes in the old, Old, OLD days. She takes you through five different outfits. First she shows an old popular painting of someone famous then she takes you step by step to remake their clothes! First you have to figure out the fabrics. If it's wool you're taken through the wool making from sheep to finish. Uf it's leather, you go thru that process. Then you get to watch seamstresses work on cutting a pattern out of the fabric; everything done EXACTLY how it would've been done back in the day when the painting was done. Buttons, trimming, embroidery, leather, bone stays, hoops, even a suit of iron! No short cuts or modern tools. No sewing machines, all hand stitched. No electric irons, no electricity! They even dye the clothes the old fashioned way. For example to get a lovely shade of green a blue was boiled into the fabric with old urine to get green. Just unbelievably fascinating stuff & great lengths were taken to be authentic. In the final scene of each outfit, she puts the clothes on & tells you if the outfit feels heavy, light, soft, stiff, etc as she walks & turns modeling it for you. She even wears a suit of iron. If this kind of historic stuff interests you, then I highly recommend this. I couldn't take my eyes off & didn't want it to end. She needs to do more of these!
