Do anyone else fw Wobots

Hello, thanks a lot !! There are a lot of historical periods that inspire me clothing-wise and it really depends on what my current hyperfixation is. Obviously, I'm really into musketeer stuff these days so I'm deep into 17th century fashion.

When it comes to middle ages, I'm not super knowledgable about most of it but I love early medieval craftswork and jewelry and I use it as an inspiration a lot like in this. I also love late medieval/early renaissance clothing, so mostly 15th century stuff.

There's also a big chunk of time from the 1790s to the 1830s more or less with a huge variety of styles that I really like, it's kind of vague but what can I say !! They kept on serving ! I also love the 70s lol

As for references, I use online museum collections a lot. These days I often hang out on the Victoria & Albert Museum website for example, they have a good chunk of the collections digitized and tagged by era/type of garment, etc. I have a few exhibitions catalogues in my library that I use sometimes, as well as Racinet's Costume History, which isn't perfect but can help with grasping changes in silhouettes and so on.
