    Not sure this is not going to be interesting for anyone... but in the nov 1897, where there was that weird sleeve pattern... turns out, what that was, was a pattern on how to turn the sleeve of the original dress (fig 6 - smaller image) to the remade dress next to it.
    Both dress on that page and the one on the next page where dresses for younger girls at that "awkward" age from 12 to 15, where they are not children anymore, but should not look like young ladies yet.
    So, they are transforming the dress as the girl grows... and so that sleeve got made smaller but they added a "jockey" (that's what the extra part on the top of the sleeve is called) made out of velvet. Tons of more stuff in there but that's what jumped out at me.

    In regards to handling antique paper, you're absolutely right- clean, dry hands are the industry standard, as wearing gloves makes people accidentally apply more force and lose tactile feedback.
    (Also, "Transformation d'une robe ancienne" means "transformation of an old dress"- presumably offering advice on how to upcycle older out of fashion clothes.)

      Well said. Here's the full text for anyone who wants to look into it further:
      A travers la mode
      Une dernière création
      Le corset est la poésie du corsage.
      On s’inclinera toujours devant le charme d’une taille souple, fine, ronde, pleine de grâce et d’abandon.
      On peut avoir un joli minois, mais si la taille laisse à désirer on n’obtiendra jamais un brevet de belle femme.
      Trop longtemps, la finesse de la taille a été obtenue aux dépens de la compression de l’estomac: de là les maladies sans nombre qui ont fait fulminer les médecins contre le corset.
      Aujourd’hui il en est tout autrement, les principaux membres du corps médical faisant exécuter par Madame Desbruères [her address], un corset sans busc et à fenêtres, admirablement combiné pour proteger les organes de la digestion, de la rewspiration et de la circulation, en même temps qu’il moule le buste et lui donne d’exquises proportions.
      C’est l’art venant au secours de la nature pour accuser harmonieusement les contours et répondre à toutes les exigences de la coquetterie la plus rafinée.

    • @roecocoa
      @roecocoa 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Sounds totally in line with the trend of "health corsets" and "corset alternatives" from the era, which were generally indistinguishable from existing corsets and often less comfortable.

  • @mounabenchetti
    @mounabenchetti 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Hi, I translated for you the article about the corset. Keep in mind that I'm not a native speaker.
    Through Fashion
    A new creation
    Corset is the poetry of corsetry. One will always bow down in front of a souple, narrow, round waist, full of grace and abandonment. One can have a pretty face but if the waist is left to be desired, one can never be called a beautiful woman.
    For too long, the narrowness of the waist has been achieved at the expense of the compression of the stomach : from there come the multitude of ailements that have had the doctors fulminate against the corset. Today things are different, the main members of the medical profession having had Mme Desbruières (the lady's adress) make a buskless corset with windowes (couldnt find what that is), admirably combined to protect the organs for digestion, breathing, and (blood) circulation while moulding the bust and giving it exquisit proportions.
    It is art coming to nature's rescue to harmoniously bring out shapes and meet all the requirements of the most refined coquetry.
    Hope this helps

    17:43 transformation d'une robe ancienne means refashioning an old dress. It seems the dress in the front is what can be done to make an old dress (the one in the back) fit with the new standards in fashion.

      @@raraavis7782 Well the French version is quite fancy/old fashioned too "transformation of an ancient gown" would be a closer translation if you want to get the tone (yes, using the word "transformation" seems a bit odd to me in French as well and " robe ancienne" makes you think of a precious historic thing, nobody would use that phrase to talk about their old clothing now)

  • @skirtedgalleons
    @skirtedgalleons 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Thanks for this, love when you do catalog videos. These years are for me a confusing mix of the craziest fugly I've ever seen and images of design desire which I want to make immediately. Also, very good for us big boobed gals. I would love to see you pattern the deflated puff sleeve. Took a screenshot at 32:03 for that jumper/pinafore dress with a deep V to the waist "en drap castor." A costume dictionary says: "Beaver cloth: Heavyweight, woolen fabric with soft finish and thick nap used to make overcoats." Wiki says: "Castor was a cloth lighter than beaver cloth, but otherwise similar. It was produced by using fine wool." Gonna make a modern version.

    Very cool! 17:43 They're showing you how you can restyle an out of style dress. I spent a lot of time going through these types of materials when I was researching artists doing embroidery patterns. This made me look up what Russian green is since it appears a lot (vert russe). Seems like it was an oliveish green.

    I love, love, love your channel and I am probably one of your biggest fans. I am 72 years young and have been sewing most of my life. You inspire me so much and I wish I could give back to you as much as you give to me and others. I am on a fixed income but I am happy to give what I can to be part of your patreon community. But more to the point is….. you mentioned in one of your patreon videos that you should get a table for your 99K. My grandmother left me an old “White” sewing machine that was in a cabinet. I’m sure you have seen those. The machine folds down into the cabinet. When you lift the top of the cabinet up the machine is then exposed and it creates a table top to the left of the machine. I would gladly give you that cabinet if you wanted it. I am downsizing and need to get rid of things. I will send it to the good will if you have no use for it. I would even drive it out to you. That’s how much I feel you have given to me. I just want to give back. Enough said. Let me know. I’m sorry your house hunting did not go so well. Your choices are amazing and I loved them. Best of luck!!

    Yum some of them had some really nice shapes to them, but some too much frills. I have been buying a woollen/lining fabric just lately and there were a couple of skirts that my fabric would be perfect for. I’m so glad I bought more than I really needed after all lol (I do that when I’m not sure what I want to make but fall in love with the fabric)
    I will have to visit your Pinterest to have a closer look at the few outfits shown.
    Thank you for sharing them with us.
    I have some very old magazines from the 1940’s to 50’s they are packed away at this time, but they were of a time when they were all about the home sewer and knitter some of them still have the original pattern pieces that came with the magazine and they had never been pined to the fabric so I expect they had been copied onto old newspapers first. All of the text on them were not printed but rather were punched out of the paper.
    You have inspired me to get them scanned and uploaded once I find them from amongst my many stored boxes. 🤗

    Hi, So nice to spend some time looking through fashion magazines with you. As always it comes down to hats to begin with. These aren't my cup of warm beverage of choice, as I take issue with not going with material that otherwise would be waste. No endangered animals plase, but other decorations are bonkers enough to warrant a second look if I can be let in on your Pinterest this time. I have not succeeded thus far, but who knows maybe tis time is the one where I make I in there.
    Thank you so much for the entertaining run through of what was fashionable in the late 1890's. Yours, Ann

I think some combination of the two styles, the lapels from 28 in the places of the patterned yoke of 26 kind of thing, with some exaggerated points... would be very nice especially in a hallowe'en theme or something spider-web aesthetic. with some moths "caught" in the "web" for accent? 😂 Very interesting and informative video and it piqued my curiosity about the french since I can only half-understand what's written. So of course I sent this video to my (French-Canadian) mother. 😊 I'm sure she will enjoy this greatly as well!

    6:02 Love the shape of this bodice but more so: I need a fabric like this (in various colors, black and gold or green and gold would be perfect)
    (apparently the color of the "toilette" (old-fashion word for "ensemble" in French) is light blue/lavender and is meant for a teen/young woman)
    8:45 oh and this one in blue-green Scottish wool

    I’d love to see you create in these styles. The hats especially seem very dramatic, and I’d be interested to see how your adaptations would make it look. As you say, delicious!
    I’ve always been confused by the shapes of the fronts of the torsos depicted in these kinds of catalogues or magazines. It always seems slightly ballooned to me, disguising the bosom essentially. I know corsets achieved certain shapes, but it does seem so unnatural that I wonder how that shape is structured in the clothing. (I may be showing my ignorance of clothing construction here! 😂)
    And yes, I would LOVE to see your collection of antique jewellery and buckles. It sounds heavenly.
    I think a full ballgown is in order - with the Dracula cape at 28 minutes…

      Shaping was achieved as much by padding than forming of the actual body through the corset.
      In the case of the chest area not so much firm padding, as we use today, but floofy layers of fabric and lace, that would help fill out the outer layer and make it appear nice and rounded.
      And, of course, fashion illustrations were as exaggerated back then, as photoshopped images are today.
      It was the fashionable silhouette to try and achieve...but it's pretty safe to assume, that most women did not have a waist barely wider than their neck, for example, even corseted.

    Thank you for the excellent content. You never fail to impress! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Of course, I would like to see your review of the Delineators as well as your antique jewelry collection. Who could turn either of those options down?😳🥺😳 I don't need to see the front to know I want the fitted Dracula Dream Cape, timestamp 27:55 December, 1897. It is spectacular! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I'm all in if you can design something with that look. Also the jumper, pinafore, dress with the "V" to the waistline, timestamp 32:03, would be lovely in a modern version. I don't know what to call it exactly. No matter, thanks for the video. The information is great.

    I've been wondering what to do with a roll of lovely grey plaid pure wool I got on sale at my local dead stock fabric shop and that last check ensemble with the check on the bias might just be it! Yes, to the other magazines, jewellery and trialling that sleeve. Also the book Mrs Pankhurst's Purple Feather is an excellent account of the issue with birds/feathers and the formation of what became the RSPB (British society for the protection of birds). The statistics are eye-watering - both for the birds and the women and children who processed them.
