Making a Historical Victorian Witch Costume | 1830s Witch

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

I'm so excited to finally share this costume with you. This was based on an illustration for the 'Eclectic Witch', an 1830s design from @chloe.z.arts Historical Witches illustrations on IG (https://www.instagram.com/chloe.z.art.... I'd never tried the 1830s before, but I had all the needed undergarments from my 1840s endeavours (links below) and the perfect fabric in my stash. However, big projects like this often take a long time to make, and after it was done, October was long gone, and it was Spring 2021. I couldn't get motivated to do anything with it, so I put it in my wardrobe... until now. A big thank you also to Madi, of @madidoescosplay (https://www.instagram.com/madidoescos..., for sharing her hat experiences! I will be posting some more photos of the costume, taken by the awesome Eugene Artjomenko (https://www.instagram.com/eugenesart_...) on IG, and a getting dressed in the 1830s video next week, featuring this costume. Hopefully I'll get to wear somewhere someday! Checkout #whimsicalwitches for more witchy costumes :)

Happy Halloween!
