evaelisabethI've started really delving into some YouTubers that wear historic or semi historic clothing in their day to day lives, one is a laurel in the SCA and does amazing medieval and renaissance outfits. They all also blog about hairstyles which is amazing. The ladies I'm following, in particular, are Morgan Donner, Bernadette Banner and Rachel Maksey. They all gravitate to different periods, Donner is the SCA Laurel who favours a semi historic way of dressing, Maksey does amazing stuff from the 40's and 50's, and Banner dresses in the Edwardian style.
Wearing historically influence or just straight our historic clothing in your day to day life really really appeals to me. Mom does a version of this, her dresses are basically modernized t-tunics and she's happy and comfortable in them as well as feeling attractive and well dressed. She gets a ton of compliments on a regular basis.
Thinking about what time period I would favour myself, I think from a comfort point of view I could do worse than my Mother. There's a part of me that would love an Edwardian style which I adore but I would need to lose significant weight for that. I would love to try fitting and making a corset from scratch again so you never know. Another style that I favour is the loosely middle eastern style you see in the SCA, very comfortable and pretty, loose pants, flowy top, structured coat.
