Fabric Mart's YouTube Fabricista, Marty (), is taking viewers behind the seams of another incredible historical sewing project!

After years of recreating 1540s Florentine court gowns, Marty set out to explore the practical garments women may have worn beneath their finery. In this fascinating video, she hand sews a historically inspired wrap skirt while testing period construction methods, padded hems, silk guards, and historical finishing techniques.

The biggest surprise? How dramatically the padded hem transformed the skirt's movement, structure, and silhouette—offering new insight into how Renaissance gowns may have been supported.

🎥 Watch the full video to see every stitch, every discovery, and this remarkable historical garment come to life.
