Welcome to LizCapism! I am Liz, an amateur Costuming and Material Culture Historian and Costuber. I make videos about historical sewing and clothing, as well as the ways you can incorporate the historical into your everyday life, known as Historybounding! Sometimes I'll make a (mostly) accurate Victorian style gown, other times I will teach you how to give your modern clothes a retro flair! I use these things as a way to explore how history is shaped by the everyday and the ordinary.
I always try to put an intersectional lens on anything I talk about as way to remember those who are not often talked about in history.
My official qualifications are literary in nature, so I talk a lot about Jane Austen and bookish things too!

Some stuff is cooking and there will be videos coming soon. In the meantime, thank you so much for all your lovely words and comments! I will see y'all soon.
Cheers,
Liz

There will not be a normal video tomorrow because I am going to be in airports and airplanes for the next 26 hours! But the modern world is a magical place with in-flight WiFi and I will likely have something to show you all tomorrow anyways! See you all soon!

Check out the newest video from âª@VBirchwood⬠This gameshow is a great way to quiz yourself on historical fashion in the 19th century! When I talked in my Block Printing video about studying images this is exactly what I was talking about!

Hey folks! This week is going to be a âbehind the scenes adminâ week. I wonât be releasing a video and instead I will be taking the time to write, reset my space, and plan some upcoming projects.
Iâm also thinking that I might start posting some #shorts as an algorithmic experiment. In the meantime, have a great week!
Cheers
