Medieval queens wore wool. I wear thrift store curtains.

Video Description

Hello! I made a princess dress out of curtain, but I promise this video will be a very solemn and rigorous exercise in historical communication (as you've come to expect from this fine channel). Notes, Corrections, Clarifications: 1. There is a later gown at the national museum of Hungary that is Burgundian-ish. But it really is a different sort of gown and wasn't about to offer me clues to the construction of earlier styles. 2. English broadcloths were apparently legislated to be 1.75 yards wide, but I can't find where this legislation actually comes from. Just tons of references to it. 3. 30 metres is not a standard bolt of broadcloth. More like 20. The exact numbers can be found in John Munro's works online. 4. The pattern I ended up using has a different amount of big skirt triangles...but for ridiculous piecing reasons that I didn't really want to detail. Just for the observant of you who noticed something different was going on. Its still a big cone.
