Bernadette Banner

With her brown hair often pinned up in period-appropriate style and a wardrobe that favors Edwardian silhouettes, Bernadette Banner looks like she stepped out of the era she studies. She is an American writer, YouTuber, and influencer. Her work focuses on the history of dress, especially English clothing from 1890 to 1914, researched and reconstructed by hand or with period machinery.

Banner began her career in costume design for Broadway, then graduated from New York University with a degree in theatrical production. She later moved to London to work with the School of Historical Dress, which shifted her focus to historical garment study. Her YouTube channel started in 2018 as a side project to document personal reconstruction projects. It has since grown to over one million subscribers. Her 2022 book, "Make, Sew and Mend: Traditional Techniques to Sustainably Maintain and Refashion Your Clothes," became a New York Times bestseller.

She is 32 years old, born in New York City, and currently works as an educational content producer in London. She has an average build, with brown eyes and natural breasts. She has been active in her field since 2018, spending eight years building a substantial online following. Her Instagram audience numbers 487,000.
