I Tried Wearing an Ancient Greek "Bra" for a Week

@vbirchwoodAbout
I'm a daily wearer of historical clothing and a Volga Tatar. I’m also passionate about experimental archaeology. I enjoy glimpsing firsthand into what it may have been like for people in the past, applied in a modern context by exploring historical fashion and hand sewing, and how we can interact with the world in a more compassionate, sustainable, and connected way. For business inquiries please contact: [email protected] For my own everyday clothing, I wear Ancient Greek, Medieval, Renaissance, Prehistoric and other eras, as well as incorporating more of my Indigenous (Turkic) dress. All the garments I make for myself are 100% hand-stitched and are slow to construct! I feel this is a wonderful way to connect with the process of sewing and show the durability of hand-sewn garments. This is a welcoming space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and any other marginalised groups. My account is supervised by the Dutch Media Authority.

If you'd like to learn about some of the research behind the strophion, I'd suggest watching this video: https://youtu.be/KTb0kGlLYEo And if you'd like to see me wearing ancient Greek fashion for 30 days, I'd suggest watching this video: https://youtu.be/R5BDyBvB2c4 This was a fun experiment to conduct!
