Whilst doing research and finding sources for my own historical fashion reconstruction, as well as for the videos on this channel, I've come across some fairly odd items. From strange Victorian fashion trends that need more explanation to items that perplex our understanding of historical fashion, there can be a lot of exciting antiques to discover in online museum archives.

These are just a fraction of some of my favourites. If you'd like to see even more bizarre historical fashion items in the future, be sure to go and follow my alternate Instagram account where I post them @bizarrehistoricalfashion   / bizarrehistoricalfashion  

Thanks so much for watching and see you all in two weeks for another video!
