    All information included in this video is historically accurate. Although her circumstances were unusual for the time, Dido Belle lived at Kenwood, and you can find out more about her fascinating life here:

      Well, according to your own source, Dido didn't quite wear your typical Georgian gowns… At least not in her only surviving portrait (which is very beautiful by the way)

      ​@@ююю-ч9д it's just a single portrait. Not unlikely that she usually dressed like the people around her.

    Beautifully done videos on the history of 18th and 19th century fashion. The clothing is as fascinating as it is beautiful. I hope to see many more of these.

    And Dr. Dyer’s modern dress is beautiful too - the print on that fabric is incredible and interesting.

    I've been to Kenwood--what a lovely place! Who would have thought 18th century dresses had more pockets than 21st century dresses! 😅😑

    omg the dress is so pretty on shanice! and what a informative video, honestly wish it was more socially acceptable to wear this style more often lol

      Take a look at the latest womens fashion trends- thanks to shows like Bridgerton, you can see influence from recency and early georgian fashion (and some Victorian/"historical peasant").

    As shown, the stomacher and dress (or robe) were pinned to the corset with straight pins. It was expected that a Lady would either lose or bend the pins periodically, therefore she was given "Pin Money".

    I spend 15 hours in a stays and let me tell you it’s more comfortable than a bloody brassiere

    This is stunning, that color is INCREDIBLE on her. I loved seeing how the gown was put on like a jacket, very informative!

    Imagine how dirty those trailing hems got. No matter how clean you kept your floors, those dresses would have a rime at the bottom by the end of the day.

    • @MegM0221
      @MegM0221 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      Dresses were actually equipped to deal with this, historically! The hems had durable trims/tapes on the bottom, often wool, which would take the majority of abuse from floors and outside. These could be taken off and replaced as needed.

    • @pheart2381
      @pheart2381 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      There were walking outfits without the trailing hem.

    What a lovely video. I'm normally not interested in fashion but there is some thing facinateing about seeing it in a historical context. I wish you had the actors deliver some of the lines and gave a bit more about their characters history though.

  • @black_nerdy
    @black_nerdy ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The fabric almost looks like plastic or polyester. Not complaining just making an observation.

    • @pheart2381
      @pheart2381 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Silk taffeta I think. Its very crunchy and rustly.

    • @traceej4685
      @traceej4685 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      This fabric is silk taffeta. Polyester is a modern fabric that is used as a dupe since it can simulate silk very well but is a plastic fabric where silk is a filament fabric. So silk is the real OG. If you felt the two side by side you'd definitely notice the difference in quality so remember, looks aren't everything.

    It's good to remind us that black people also lived in Europe at that time ! Great concept, great models !

    I feel like they left out a few layers on Dido's dress.

    The model being dressed in the pink Francaise gown makes me think of Angelica Schuyler from Hamilton. Im a broadway kid so I know my references

    You stated that the Balleen stays were an important part of 'every' 18thc womans wardrobe - you really cannot state that as a historic fact. Sure it may have been extremely common for the upper classes but for the poor there is no way this was common place

    • @briannawalker4793
      @briannawalker4793 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Those that could not afford baleen stays used reeds or wood bents. Stays were absolutely part of EVERY woman's attire in the 18th century, the same way underwear and a bra are indispensable for modern women. The class differences showed not in have-vs-have-nots, but in things like straps (poorer women wore strapless stays for ease of movement), fabric choice, and restrictive lacing.

      There were also “charity” stays given to working class women made of leather. Over time and with body heat it would mold to your shape.
