Bloomsbury Historic Dress in Detail Videos

Subscription Required Subscription Required

Watch immersive videos exploring garments, featuring both menswear and womenswear, in detail, spanning across a vast historical timeline and aimed specifically at an academic audience. They explore historical context and materials, fastenings and garment details, as well as how garments were made. A key aspect of each video is the act of getting dressed; they clearly demonstrate how the garments were layered and worn in real life.

Topics include Roman, Tudor, Regency, Victorian and Modernist dress as well as workers in the 1850s, many of which are perfectly aligned to designing costume for performance. Get practical advice with learning material videos on how to research historic dress and how to create garments without patterns.

The videos have been created by Crow's Eye Productions, specialists in media content on historic dress and costume. All content has been reviewed by leading dress historian Valerie Cumming.
