@@kat-vp8qu Glad it was helpful!

@cindycox969 Glad this was helpful! Thank you for your suggestion. I'll keep that in mind for the future

@@LynneFairchild Happy to help! I learned this well over 20 years ago and I STILL struggle with it because our society has taught us to think in the negative, but oddly our brains don't particularly care about what we were taught! lol.

@@LynneFairchild I haven't been to Pennsic, but it is definitely on my bucket list! I'm kind of hoping maybe next year!

@AyeAyeThwe-mv4hg Yes, they are the same. The English hood is also referred to as the gable hood.

I'll tell my husband.

My husband said, "Smart!"

You can use an iron, if you want to.

@@TheTudorgirl Thanks! With the Anne of Cleves portrait, I absolutely loved the details when it was restored.

@@Warriorking.1963 Thanks!

@owly33 You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.

What device were you using to watch this video? It is better viewed on a computer, instead of a cell phone, to read the words. Some pictures are enlarged (and therefore a little fuzzy) because it's part of a much larger painting, such as the Field of the Cloth of Gold at 1:58. However, the other picture shown at 1:58 (the Aertsen painting) is clear to see the details.

If it helps, the names of the artists and the titles of their paintings (where the historic examples of 16th century aprons are found) are listed in the video description.

Thank you! I love her dress too!

Why do you think this?

Here is a tutorial on hair taping: ruclips.net/video/hjIiUMcMyBs/видео.htmlfeature=shared Mainly, it's a long ribbon that's braided into your hair with 2 braids, then weave the tail ends of the ribbon on your head to secure the braids around your head. This type of hairstyle can still be found worn at Octoberfests.

Yep! 🙂

Looking forward to being home!

Thanks!

That works.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are correct that Eleanor of Aquitaine ended her days as a nun. However, in medieval times, a veil would not specifically indicate that a woman was a nun. Medieval Christian views were based around scripture that a woman should cover her hair. In 1 Corinthians 11: 5-6, "5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head." Here is an article about the Veil in the Middle Ages: yvonneseale.org/blog/2016/10/09/the-veil-in-the-middle-ages/

@LynneFairchild Unfortunately the article is highly politically charged, and I feel they miss many nuances in order to fit their modern political views. The past is a different world, and should be treated as such. But thank you for the response. My motivation is simple. Wife wants to understand more about headgear, and fashion is not my forte. Been going down a rabbit hole. By the 12th century, was corinthians really taken too literally? When you see depictions of woman showing their hair. Liberal coverings. Quite free given what people expected from the day and age. As I say, quite the rabbit hole.

In my opinion, rabbit holes can be quite fun! As for 12th century and women showing their hair, one of the first things to consider is if the woman was married or an unmarried virgin. For example, Queen Elizabeth I (16th century) wore her hair down for her coronation, emphasizing her unmarried and virgin state. As for if Corinthians was taken too seriously or not, during this time in history, their lives centered around the Church. What they ate, when they ate it, how they prayed and when they prayed, what they wore (modesty), etc. all circled around the Church. Here is another article on the veil in the Middle Ages: mvstconference.ace.fordham.edu/MVSTconf2018/the-paradoxical-story-of-the-veil-in-the-middle-ages/

@LynneFairchild I understand about the middle ages. I'm a reenactor with a history channel. What I don't understand so much is women's fashion. Mainly the high middle ages (not so much the renaissance, as fashions change dramatically as does the culture). Im currently looking up things like. Barrette, torque, fillet etc. Hair nets, pins. Hence the rabbit hole. Really interesting to be honest. Wife used to play more lower ranking, with some scarf like headgear (you'd understand 👍). But now she's joining me among the magnates and likes the Barbette and fillet.

Given the earlier century (my primary focus is 16th century England), painted portraits weren't a thing, but illustrations were. Here is Queen Isabella of England (Isabella of France) on a page from a 14th century volume containing the Book of Psalms. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Isabella_Psalter_-_BSB_CodGall16_f7v.jpg She is wearing a veil with a crown. This page has multiple illustrations of various medieval headcoverings on women: postej-stew.dk/2016/12/female-headgear-in-the-1300s/ Then there's Rosalie's page with more information about veils, wimples, and gorgets: rosaliegilbert.com/veilsandwimples.html Hope this helps with the rabbit hole!

Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have not done Civil War reenactment, but I've had friends who have participated with it. A friend from high school did pioneer reenactment with her family (specifically focusing on 1780 to 1810). I went with her to a pioneer event and she went with me to a SCA event. So, I know what you mean about the differences and things that would be frowned upon! In the SCA, as long as an attempt is made to look medieval-ish, you're good. And even that depends on the event. Go to Pennsic and you're bound to find someone wearing a t-tunic, modern shorts, sandals, and drinking a modern drink (like Gatorade) from a modern plastic bottle. With my friend at the pioneer event, clothing had to be made in a certain style, using specific types of fabrics and colors of fabric, and nothing modern could be visible (it could be hidden under a blanket or something similar, but not visible). One big difference is that the pioneer event charged admission for non-reenactors to come and watch, just like one would when attending a Renaissance Festival. For an SCA event, admission is charged, but you are considered a participant and not a spectator.

This way, people could still be within the confines of the sumptuary laws, but also display blackwork embroidery on their clothing.

@@LynneFairchild Exactly. And, I have no doubt that there were many borderline cases that snuck in silk, figuring that they probably wouldn't be fine and, even if they were, it was just another bit of social status enhancement: "I'm doing so well that a fine doesn't really matter to me."

Wool takes dyes better than linen.

Gracias

Old habits are hard to break. I've been using my fingernails while making lucet cords for over 20 years... However, I appreciate your concern!

I think my husband bought this board at Pennsic some years ago. Looking on Etsy, I currently see 2 different game boards for sale.

@@LynneFairchild That's a good pointer. I'd prefer a cloth one. They are hard to find. Yours is pretty much perfect! I'll attempt stiching one myself.

Thank you! Yes, my daughter. Shortly after this video was made, she chose to donate her hair.

@@LynneFairchild hav you noticed any change in hairfall when you do this hairstyle? im worried if keeping it long would backfire.

I typically wear this hairstyle at events. My daughter's hair is thick and wavy, while my hair has always been thin and baby fine. It works for both of our hair types. I have not noticed any change in hairfall when compared to any other hairstyle that I wear (ponytail, bun, braid, etc).

Thanks for sharing this. I hope you never delete this video. Today I tried this exact style , but using two strands of wool as I didn’t have ribbon and thread is just too thin. Since I have a sensitive scalp and easy hairfall, I used very light hands and didn’t do it tight. It feels like I haven’t worn a hairstyle at all, it feels super light and no tugging. And I’m amazed how well it holds too. I wonder if I can go days without touching my hair with this on. I’m all for as little fidgeting with hair to reduce hairfall. Although I’ll have to come back to this video every time I do it cuz it’s kinda confusing sewing hair, and a bit unusual for modern day too 😅

Yes

Glad this was helpful! Yes, a pair of good walking shoes is great. Years ago, I used to wear black ballet flats. My husband called them my impractical shoes. There are areas with gravel... and I couldn't walk on the gravel with my flats (I could feel every rock through my thin soles). My flats also had no arch support, no padding, etc. He finally convinced me to buy a decent pair of shoes that could handle lots of walking. If you wear a pedometer, don't be surprised if you walk double your normal amount (especially if parking and then walking to the bog).

Good to know about not cutting it too soon. When I made this video, I made this for a friend who was being elevated to Pelican on the following day (so it had plenty of time to cool before being cut on the day of the event).

That's interesting. However, with wearing a leather glove, wouldn't the rings worn on the index finger also get in the way?

Some fighters wear tunics over their armor.

​@@LynneFairchild Tunics on armor looks different. Legs of this two guys do not have a armor... and why you use practicse sword?

Their leg armor is underneath their pants. Both are knights with the Society, as evident by their white belts. Plus, one is a former Kingdom Earl Marshal. Fighters fight with rattan swords, so as to have fun fighting with their friends without doing injury to their friends.

​@@LynneFairchild Armor under pants ? It no senes in this historical age. Hide armor was use in XVII and XVIII centures They look like VII - VIII ages warrior with one and half hand sword or like comic-con cosplayer :( You know there is a lot of steel save-sparing swords, right?

You're welcome!

@@LynneFairchild ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Ur explaining like so well! Ty!

Let me know how it turns out.

You're welcome!

You're welcome. Happy to help with sending you down a rabbit hole on hair brushes! Personally, I enjoy going down rabbit holes and doing research!

If you have issues with sewing machines, have you tried hand sewing? It's historically accurate! 😀

@@LynneFairchild Not a accurate in my case but I sew only but hand right now but I might get a simple portable one as apparently they are the only simple sewing machines around. My sisters have same issue that the more complicated sewing machines with many strings, usually two… Are just pain in the arse. My sisters friend… Has old brother machine industrial that is from the 1960’s. One string, no fuss, no cutting string while sew but just basic sew. Dream come true. Easy to use but NOT COMPATIBLE IN ORDINARY HOUSES. Electric wires so can only use it at her place. As she has industrial electricity.

Hi!

Hence why I made the video to hopefully help out people when they're new to the SCA.
