Inquiring readers,
Kevin Lindsey, who frequently comments to posts on this blog, forwarded the link to this 5-minute YouTube video. He writes:
As a long time subscriber to your blog, I thought you might be interested in this. It’s from a British group called Crows Eye Production. They create excellent, tasteful, and informative videos on historical clothing. They released this one on Jane & Cassandra Austen today. I thought it really well done, and thought I would share it with you, in case you wanted to pass it along. Below is a link. If you would prefer not to use that just got to YouTube and look up “CrowsEyeProductions”
Enjoy!

I have never before so appreciated being able to dress myself! And I do love the fichu (scarf) — I have several and wear them often. Lovely video — many thanks for sharing.
That is so interesting. I always wondered long it takes to get dressed in the morning or through out the day. Thanks for sharing.
charming little film, very like my short theatrical entertainment “Getting Dressed With Jane”, except I have to put everything on layer by layer on stage without a “Cassandra” to help! thanks for sharing
This was excellent – thanks!
Fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing this.
I’ve always wondered just how an apron-front dress worked. Now I know! Thank you.
This emphasizes the use of ties, not buttons, on the gowns, as seen in the majority of museum pieces. Those bodice rippers where the gentleman has dozens of tiny buttons to deal with are not well researched!
Forgive me, I’d comment on the relevant post if I were able, but it’s several years old and the comments are closed. One of the other commenters on the skeleton suit post requested information as to how a child wearing such a getup would use the facilities and you replied, but the underclothing pictured in the post doesn’t appear to have similar openings. Is there something I’m missing?
