These cloths are absolutely fabulous. Definitely, some styles are better than others. I love the gigantic hats and the dresses with flowing fabric on the ground.💕
@Boodi Boodi Yes you can see that, at first I thought they were middle class then someone pointed out they are actually working class. Seems clear that our standards have slumped.
Hey! Check out Abby Cox here on TH-cam. She and her buds did a video on historic clothing vs modern clothing standing in the Nevada sun a while back. You won't regret it!
The more I see pictures and videos from the 1900s and up the more I go deep in understanding the way those people lived in those days.i mean if I put myself in their shoes in my imagination I can live there for a second or two. Imagination is an amazing human power
The thumbnail and first image is not typical at all for that era. It was in fact absolutely scandalous back then. The French designer Margaine Lacroix dressed a few models in her latest designs and set them out at the horse races in Paris to flaunt their garments, since that's were all the high society ladies did exactly that. It was absolutely shocking to these high society ladies, because the models did not wear corsets and seemed to wear no undergarments. As well as that, there was a glimpse of leg to be seen. This look became more popular after the edwardian era, in the late 1910's, with this exact event dating from 1908. Luckily it indeed caught on, because it's simply beautiful. But there it is again, research is everything!
Old-style fashions of that time weren't always uncomfortable.There is always some lady out there that loosed her stays( corset strings) and still looked fine in those fashions,sparing herself breathing problems,etc.Wearing two petticoats is not uncomfortable if you have the right material! Silk more expensive,linen,2nd,and cotton least expensive.
I see you refer to the laces as stays, but stays are a type of shaping undergarment, comparable to a corset. The difference is that stays are tube shaped, and corsets an hourglass shape. Also, in the Edwardian Era only corsets were worn. Stays went out of fashion after the 19th century. None of these caused breathing problems, unless very tightly laced. Tightlacing was only a fact after 1850 and wasn't popular under the common folk, but only with the high society ladies for special occasions like balls.
Modern day feminists can screech all they want about the torturous man -made corset, but THIS is just gorgeous, elegant and showcases how beautiful the feminine physique is. We've lost a LOT of style and class since these days.
corsets, when worn properly, aren’t painful at all and i speak from experience! they actually work wonders to support your posture, not to mention helping to hold all the layers of skirts and petticoats. they distribute that weight across your torso instead of just on your hips. the myth that corsets were painful and body-altering was created by men of the era who wanted to diminish women and is perpetuated today by hollywood refusing to portray corsets accurately and placing modern fashion standards over the health and safety of their actors. also, in reference to losing style and class: the victorians could be very crude as well, they just did it differently. i watched an interview once with a woman born in the 1890s and she recalled watching a group of men leering at women crossing the street, because the women had to lift up their dresses to avoid the mud, thus showing their feet and ankles. one thing that you learn when you study real history, not just wars and politics, is that people have always been and always will be people. we’re complicated, and no one generation is better than the next.
Great photos but the music is so out of place.

The earth must have been cooler then, so many layers. Some of these dresses are very stunning even by today's standards.

It was called femininity
Natural fibers are more breathable than synthetic. A few TH-camrs who dress in historical costumes did a video on that.

Fantastic!
What struck me is how form-fitting a lot of those gowns were. I’m amazed it wasn’t considered indecent! Nice video. 👍👍
hot jobs now: lawyers, doctors
hot jobs then: hatters, florists
Can you please let us know who the soundtrack is from? Love the music.

It’s now that I understand the rebellion of the 1920s flapper…total opposite.

Simply ravishing my darling!

Cultures that didn’t wear much clothes or shoes showed it off more with less pain and body deforming side effects.
@@winebox As stated above...
@@shotgunbettygaming im talking about indigenous cultures. What are you thinking?
Isn't it ironic that unless you're naturally hourglass shaped...
