Continuing transcribing the parts containing women's clothing in probate inventories from rural Skaraborg (a region in SW Sweden) in the 18th and early 19th century. It is both tiresome AND fun.

So much pain today.
Psoriatic arthritis: 0/10 stars, do not recommend.
I am mending a blanket from Greenlandic wool that I bought in a charity shop, and watching a conference on Historical Clothing and Textiles in Northern and Eastern Europe.

Morning all! I want to generate a word cloud for use in teaching about the history of corsetry.
If you'd like to help me, please reply to this comment with five words that come to mind that you associate with corsets. Thanks!
You don't need to know anything about corsetry to answer. And, because this is about associations, there are no wrong answers :)
Historian Laura Fitzachary (SeekTheHistoric) presents an hour-long online lecture on the connections between St Brigid, beauty history and Irish folklore today from 12pm. Tickets cheap and cheerful from the link below.
I love that the Tudor Tailor have shared this:

Dr Susan North examining a C16th dress fragment from the Missing Persons conference in 2022 (the now-famous farthingale sleeve), and gives a brief talk beforehand touching on the clothing life cycle and how pre-industrial historical textiles have survived.
Any scholar of #MaterialHistory or #DressHistory or #FiberArts can tell you the value of antique textiles, and how most humanities scholars can tell you about how archives conceal as much as they reveal.
Well, the same is true of recreation. Looking at an object, even using an object, cannot give you the kinds of knowledge that comes from making and remaking.
That work is hard as fuck and there is so much failure along the way. So, so much failure, and so much reward.
I am new here and hoping to introduce myself to fellow #histodons. I am passionate about #CaptainMarryat #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory and also men's #DressHistory! A long time #FranklinExpedition and #polar enthusiast, also interested in #MilitaryHistory including the #Warof1812 and the #NapoleonicWars. Another American deeply fascinated by the #RoyalNavy and related topics of #imperialism and the #AtlanticWorld.
