How I Survive Winter Wearing Only Historical Clothing (ft. Some VOLGA TATAR FASHION!)

Winter is definitely here for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and wearing historical clothing daily means I need to be quite deliberate about how I layer my garments. It's taken me a few years to really solidify how to dress historically for winter weather. In this video, I show you two of my go-to historical fashion winter looks layer-by-layer – a Victorian working-class ensemble as well as my Volga Tatar fashion, as well as offer some tips for how to stay warm in winter wearing historical clothing (some of which can also be applied to modern clothing). 🕯 Support my art on Patreon - / vbirchwood 🌲 Schedule a 1-1 call with me: https://calendly.com/vbirchwood ✨ Leave a donation: https://ko-fi.com/vbirchwood 🌙 Books I read, supplies I use, gear I film with (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/v.birchwood 🪡 Follow me on Instagram - / vasibirchwood 📖 Business inquiries - vbirchwood@helmtalentgroup.com Clothing list: Victorian chemise - https://www.etsy.com/shop/LadyJanesCl...
