Back in the 1960s I discovered ethnic garments and embroidery. (Any
ethnic garment that survived into the 21st Century is strongly
historically based, because nowadays "ethnics" all over the world wear
things like t-shirts.) So nowadays I use ikat from Guatemala, saree
fabric from India, and mud
The corsets looked wrong to me, because they covered the hips, which is a
Victorian thing. And the lines were Victorian also, although I have seen
some things in Moda a Firenze that show a less stiff bodice line in Italy.

Don't assume that it presents an accurate picture of life in post-War Guernsey.
It names addresses that have never existed; mis-spells Guernsey names; and to

Tempera paint & crayon masks, cutting holes for eyes in sheets. I
think I learned to crochet about then to make bridles for my Breyer
horses. I was a small kid in the 60s.
PS. Really enjoying stories of what the college kids were doing in the 60s.

I had a Barbie doll dress kit. You cut out the fabric, but instead of
sewing, they had little, tiny, thin, twisty, hard to work with (can you tell
I hated it) double sided tape, which you were supposed to use to put the
thing together with. It never stuck correctly. I was bummed.
