Funny Moments in Time 

Even history isn’t perfect! At Indian Creek Historical Fashions, we love sharing the lighter side of our work. From Victorian dress fittings that go hilariously wrong to mishaps during living history programs, our bloopers show the fun behind creating authentic 19th-century clothing and hands-on workshops.

Bottoms UP!

Over 20 years ago, when I first got into living history, I’ll admit—I cut a few corners with my undergarments, especially during those blazing hot Nebraska summers. I’d talk all day about how important historically accurate undergarments were, but let’s be honest, sometimes I skipped them. I convinced myself they weren’t always a big deal. I figured our foremothers were just being overly modest! I thought, “Who’s really going to notice what’s under my dress anyway?” Boy oh boy, was I wrong! As the video shows, every single piece of those undergarments actually served a purpose.

It’s little moments like these that remind me—when you’re chasing authenticity and professionalism, history has a way of throwing in some surprises (and a good laugh). No matter how much you plan, there’s always room for a bit of unplanned comedy to keep things interesting!
