I Tried 1400-1800s Inspired Clothing!

The Allure of the Wig: A Journey into Eccentricity

Halo semuanya! Today, we embark on a journey filled with excitement and flair. It all begins with this enchanting wig that sparked our curiosity over a year ago. Do you still remember it? We fell head over heels for it—a wig that made its debut in my adventure exploring peculiar Etsy finds. There was an undeniable mutual fascination between us and this wig, leaving us pondering about the emotions it stirred and how to experience more of it.

But here's the twist—getting more of that feeling involves delving into the world of historical clothing. The path unfolds as one thing leads to another, and before you know it, I'm knee-deep in the treasures of Etsy. The options for custom-made historical garments are staggering, covering every period imaginable, from the 1900s to the 1600s. Sure, they come with a hefty price tag, but the craftsmanship and the array of choices justify every penny spent.

A Dance Through Time: From 1800s Elegance to 1600s Splendor

As I browse through Etsy's plethora of options, I'm struck by the expertise of the shop owners in historical periods. They seem to possess an uncanny knowledge of which skirt belongs to a specific era and what complements each outfit. Meanwhile, my understanding of these time periods is, well, a work in progress. Today, attempting historical hairstyles and makeup for the trial of these garments ended up in a delightful chaos of braids—serendipity, or so I'd like to think.

Now, let's talk about these boxes behind me. I placed the orders a year ago, some taking up to four months for production and design. The challenge? I haven't the foggiest idea of my body measurements or how much weight I've gained since then—12 pounds, to be exact. Fingers crossed that everything fits like a glove!

Unboxing Extravaganza: A Peek into 1860s Ball Gown and More

Let's dive into the top box. Voila! I haven't a clue what's in it, so let's explore together. Ah, this dress! A magnificent ball gown from the Civil War era, priced at $858. The sheer beauty captured in the photos has elevated my appreciation for historical fashion on stage and screen. The intricate corset, the buttons, the lace, and the splendid ribbon—it's a masterpiece. Putting it on, however, will require some maternal assistance. Corsets, buttons, and delicate lace—I'll definitely need Mom's helping hands.

As I continue unboxing, there's a delightful complexity in each garment. Ruffles, bows, and layers that transport you back in time. One dress, in particular, has me excited, and it's the chosen companion for our beloved wig. Brace yourselves; it's going to be a fashion fiesta!

Dressing Up: A Symphony of Layers and Elegance

Some of these garments boast about seven components, and I think it would be amusing to share the process—starting from undergarments, then the skirt, followed by the corset, and so on. It might just become the enjoyable highlight of these historical fashion escapades. I've got this stunning nude bodysuit that maintains a level of modesty suitable for a 13-year-old audience—no standing here in the buff. Mom, you're going to be my dressing accomplice. Hmm, I'm not entirely sure how this will go, but it's bound to be an adventure.

In conclusion, these garments are not just about donning clothes; they're portals to another time, a chance to experience the elegance and complexities of bygone eras. Stay tuned as I navigate this journey through time and fashion, bringing you the highs, the lows, and undoubtedly, a dash of unexpected humor.

For now, let the historical fashion extravaganza begin! 🕰️👗💃
