No, I'm Not a Time Traveller... (8 Misconceptions About Wearing Historical Fashion Daily)

When you wear historical fashion every day (or even just regularly) a lot of misconceptions tend to come your way time and time again. I figured it'd be both fun and educational to talk about the misconceptions I hear the most throughout my experience of wearing historical fashion daily.

I should say that this is really only my experience and I can't speak for other historical fashion wearers. Additionally, those who perhaps wear other periods instead of Victorian fashion or Georgian fashion, are likely to have different experiences with misconceptions as well.

This is, however, what I tend to hear the most either when speaking with someone about wearing historical clothing, or what I've heard on the internet.

There are bound to certainly be other misconceptions, but these are the ones I could think of. I hope you also all enjoyed the title, I promise I'm not a time traveller ????

If you like to wear historical clothing regularly out and about, what misconceptions have you heard?

Thank you so much for watching and see you all on Thursday for another video.

Yours, etc.
