I’m not busty but I just LOVE my longline bra from Freya. Most of my bra bands are nice and tight to give the most support (and even more important for me, stop the bra from moving around and needing adjustment), but the longline feels like a nice hug as it wraps around your whole ribs! I’d love another one.

I think it came out if fashion with the end of the corset era, though the safety pin continued on as a way to fix clothing in certain arrangements without stabbing yourself all day. Straight pins were no big deal to use against your body when you had several layers of thick, sturdy, or tightly woven fabric to shield you from them, you just make sure to affix them in the correct direction and bury the ends snugly between two layers.

Fashion from 1480s up to 1510s, is neglected indeed. Just recently I found on pinterest brass depicting lady which wears fashion, which is between style of portraits of Elizabeth Woodville(70s) and Elizabeth of York (late 90s), so it is most likely 1480s fashion. And such intriquing headwear! The transitional piece between short henin and gable hood. I've seen hundreds of brasses on PInterest, yet it is the only one I'd say is from 1480s, and proving almost unbelievable theory that gable hoods evolved from henin.

I applaud you, not just for the dress but for headwear too. Too many times we see frontlets and bonnet, without actual bonnet part. (I don't know if bonnet was separate from paste or if it is a synonym, however, the way you have it, it creates the desired shape at the back, so thumbs up!) By 1500, unless you were an older lady keeping to old-style, or child, you would wear bonnet, and not have flat back as with French hood. And so many TV shows and recreators never bother to create the correct shape at the back. Just a little note, yes timeframe for the dress is correct, however, in c.1505-7, ladies started to pin back the veil under the bonnet(under paste). And that style of gable hood continued to be most popular for the entire 1510s. The best example of that style is the Westminster Tournament roll from 1511, depicting Catherine of Aragon, probably Princess Mary Rose Tudor(Henry VIII's sister) next to her, and then a bunch of court ladies. And some of them have their hoods with a colourful back veil. But it is the only example I've seen. I also sympathize with you about the fabric available for recreation. With how it is hard with getting high enough quality of linen, how hard it would be to get such a thing as gold brocaded velvet?

I love this video! I wondered for years how they went from regular medieval front-lacing Kirtles with just wool lined with some linen, to all of a sudden full tudor super stiff bodices with buckram etc. Most reënactors I come across choose one or the other, medieval period or full tudor, but never this weird transitional era from 1490-1500. I always wondered how the transition happened. These bodices with a few layers of stiff thick linen makes so much sense! And this in-between early tudor-like hood that slowly transitioned from the medieval woolen hoods. It makes me so happy that the puzzle is more complete now in my head! :D

It makes a lot of sense for a woman and I guess a man also to have adjustable wardrobe in case of weight gain or weight loss due to either pregnancy, a food baby or just diverse body shapes. i'm sure they were as diverse then as they are now. I wonder tho... How would a mother breastfeed her baby if she breastfeeds at all? I don't see how those clothes accomodate any sort of breastfeeding except maybe for the first layer, the chemise. Maybe they did the breastfeeding only in their private chamber or had wet nurses if they had access to that?

She died 1499, but without doubt, she ordered her brass years prior. The headwear is a transitional piece between henin and an early gable hood. Marvelous to look at. Would not be surprised if it was in style when Henry VII became King.
