TheClosetHistorian's video: ROASTING Some Historic Costumes A Tour of My Costuming Closet

Time for some sass? Today I'm tearing into some very questionable "historic" costumes and explaining what I would have done differently, or what I would do differently now I am older and wiser. That's right, I'm nitpicking my own attempts at historic costume, not anyone else's! Images from (ahem) various films...and also the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MFA Boston, the V&A....Party City...

A PO BOX finally wahoo! First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
