“Antique clothing just fits me I don’t know why, they weren’t made for me, but they still fit” Meme mom trying to cover up the fact that she’s been buying back all her old clothing from the past
@@fitzyfitz95 have you looked at Ms Bannermans chanbel? Shes an American fashion historian who reproduces clothing from old pattern books and pictures. Under corsets, she found that most young women had 26" waist rising to 30" after children and menopause. Pretty much the same as today. The extra padding at bust and hip makes the waist seem smaller. Very short women would have been slightly thinner but not much due to the necessary sizings for giving birth. We are taller with slightly bigger feet on average.
You can buy well made and fitting clothes that will last forever. You have to go out of your way to do it. Fast fashion will fall apart soon after buying it and they will never fit as well as it could.
Programmed obsolescence. Evens the clothes I sewed myself now last ever longer than costom marketing's ones ... And this dress and clothings wear made correctly, with correct materials and techniques, and were made to last. It why they costed a good part of monye too. Cause people aloed it to materiel for that it saty long as at the investissement they made for.
Regardless of how much she paid for it, it's worth every single penny!! The garment is incredible! The workmanship, a long lost, never to return skill and art.
This Chad dress: Still wearable after 110 years, made of breathable fibers, hand sewn with exquisite care and love. My Virgin tank top from Forever 21: Falls apart after two years, made of suffocating polyester, mass produced by child slaves overseas.
i KNOW it’s insane how garbage our clothes are now. a couple weeks ago my cheap pajama pants ripped across the knees and my mom was like “oh let’s just get new ones” and i went “nO these are two years old mom i’m not buying anything else” and then stitched them up so yeah imma wear all my clothes to death
That was funny! I need as many laughs as possible today, thank you. :0) I think I clicked on the first of her videos because I saw the thumbnail and thought "Katharine Hepburn. Yay!" I'm a film historian (who usually can spot real Kate Hepburn, a bit blind lately) so this is all very cool.
The Titanic was started (as like, construction started) in 1909 ! They could be twins ! ... As far as a, you know, boat and a dress could be related. I mean.
Whenever I see super old clothing I always think of the original owner like this one, when did she buy it? for what occasion? how did she live? and how the dress ended being in your hands....I get carried away with history I love this stuff.
I'm sure it was treasured and handled with care, probably very rarely worn to be in such good condition for being over 100 years old and not rotting. Makes me wonder, how the dress made the original owner feel. Like did she feel as confident in it?
Well she was probably more wealthy (definitely because if she wasn’t this would be worn out from wearing and because the fabric of nice), and probably thin. But she didn’t wear it a lot, so maybe she was either very fashion forward, and wore it once on a special occasion or just something casual, then never wore it again because maybe she wasn’t confident in it, maybe it was too simple. She was probably not older, but not a child, so a younger adult woman (because it’s so fashionable and well made). She probably didn’t have children because the waist is so so so small. Since the cape is so light maybe it’s a spring dress? That’s just me trying to piece things out, as you probably can tell this is super duper exciting to me!
I am sure Karolina herself actually bought this back in 1908 in Paris for like 500 Francs and just doesn't want to break the news by admitting her immortality and that's why it's in such good condition - she forgot she had it.
I love how 90% of the comments I see are about how this was her dress 110 years ago and that shes either a time traveler or immortal. I agree, its wonderful she found her old dress after giving it away 100 years ago
Hey there, here is a translation of the tag : "In Louvre Paris, Section 51, size 11" I might know where the dress comes from too! (but I'm not really sure) : In 1880, the large building that was originally "Le Grand Hotel du Louvre" (a very huge hotel with 700 modern rooms and 1250 workers. It was very famous in the Capital City then), was turned into the department store called "Les Grands Magasins du Louvre", and so it stayed this way until 1974. There could be found numerous luxury shops, and I'm sure haute couture shops too. It has now been converted into an antique mall called "Le Louvre des Antiquaires". I'm just guessing it, but maybe was it made in one of those luxury shop ? Anyways, even if not, the dress still looks gorgeous ! It's the first video of your channel that I watch, and I got to say : you've found yourself a new subscriber ! 😊 - with much respect, a radom French boy
It's currenty occupied by "le Louvre des Antiquaires", which is dying for years. I guess that due to its location in one of the most expensive borough of Paris, this building will soon go back to selling luxury clothing.
I bet the colors on that dress were so vibrant and lovely when it was first made. It's amazing how fabric fades overtime. It still looks nice now, but I can imagine the bolder blue/purple color it would have been 100 years ago.
Yes! Maybe even a purple/green/black like the suffragette colors! I wonder if someone like Bernadette Banner could study the dress and recreate it with new materials?
Im baffled at how much clothing quality has decreased over the years. I still have some of my mother's clothing from 1924 and they are so well made! The quality of today's fast fashion can't compare to that.
It’s cause when people made clothes back then they were made to last, unless you were extremely wealthy you would not have different clothes for everyday. After mass production companies knew they could earn more money with decreasing quality, then people come back after clothes fray and break. And I think it’s become almost frowned upon wearing the same clothes multiple days not like years ago.
That's the case also with "modern" "fast-fashion" clothing from some years ago : I have inherited a robe from my great-grandma and a skirt from my grandma, both are synthetic fibers because they costed less and we have always been poor on all the generations I'm aware of (I think I must be the first person to have a tiny little bit of disposable income on my bloodline), and even these 40 or 30 years-old clothing look almost in pristine condition compared to my mom's or big sister's hand-me-downs. Also, they fitted clothes for REAL women back then : I'm short and wide and these robe and skirt fit me so much better than what I've been able to buy for myself… I've worn them repeatedly and only the buttons attachments are getting wear marks. I wish I could have ask to "inherit" more of this clothing but back then I had no sense of my own fashion and just disliked old things so that's all I could save from the donation bin. Also I love the cut and lightness of old sleeping wear garments but DAMN are they see-through !!! They clearly never walked outside of their bedroom with it, and I cannot be bothered to use my great-grandma's robe during the unbearable heat of nowadays summer.
I think about things like that a lot. Like those 2000 year old mummies being unearth and studied. I wonder what they would think. It could happen to us in the future. You never know. 🤔 😂
Tracy imo being immortalized & remembered as lonn as possible is often the motive behind why things are built to last so im sure theyre spirits/souls are content
I have no idea who you are. I have never showed interest in Edwardian style or era. I have no idea why you were in my recommended. But I love your passion and you taught me some cool things today. Keep up your passion! 🖤
my mother was born in 1913. She said her mother wore a morning dress for shopping on the avenue and then an afternoon dress for shopping in the afternoon. If you didn't change your dress, you were "looked down upon".
That would entirely be a function of how rich you were. Both my grandmothers were born just before 1900. I guarantee neither they or my greatgrandmothers ever had any dresses like this, let alone separate one for different shopping times. If my greatgrandmothers ever did shopping it was primarily for food items and household necessities they couldn't make or grow at home. I'm sure this is true for rhe vast majority of viewers. That said, Karolina looks terrific.
Hello! I know this is quite an old comment, but I do hope you have the notifications on! Would you mind telling us a little bit more? For example, where was your mum from and what social class did she belong to?
@@musical.theory Hi! My mother was first generation Irish. Her mother came to work as a maid or a waitress for a wealthy family. She never got the "chance" to work. My grandfather met her at her boarding house just as she had arrived to the U.S. . She was napping and she left her skirt draped over a sofa. He saw the skirt and asked the chaperone of the boarding house about the skirt's owner. She (the chaperone) said "Oh that skirt belongs to Bridget who is asleep upstairs". "I'll wait until she wakes up" , he replied and he did. My grandfather was a custodial engineer who repaired heating systems in NY public schools so he made a nice living. He bought a couple of houses before settling in Woodhaven, NY. The avenue to which I refer is Jamaica Avenue and the time of my grandmother's shopping expeditions would be about 1910-1930. She died of ovarian cancer at 49 in 1932. Thanks for your interest! a
100 years from now.... *tries on low-waist skinny jeans* oh my gosh I can't believe women actually wore these, I can't really bend over wearing these because the waist is so low and too much would show. What an awful design.
Don't underestimate the historical fashion nerds of the future. "See, this one I found the other day has a PRE-2015 NORTH FACE LOGO. Now, MOST people think there isn't a difference, but THOSE people don't know what to LOOK for in antique north face shit."
and the dress is Euro 44 or US 10 to 11.5 so it's an amazing find. EDIT: This comment is from another viewer and takes into account modern day "Vanity Sizing" Moth Noises I’m french and I can tell you sizes have changed. She says her waist is 65 cm/25,5 inches. That’s a size 36 in france and a size 4 in the us. A size 44 would fit a 82cm/32 inches waist.

@@jennyboldrini7330 did you actually just say that? Those dresses were literally created to fit a woman but only if she was cinched the fuck up in a tight corset.........I'd call that being produced to fit an ideal body instead of a real one
Y'know... If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you could always take a pattern off of this dress and recreate it so you'd have a guilt-free wearable version
@Will Langstroth I'm sure it would take MUCH longer than just 100 hours! With all that embroidery and pleating it would take anywhere from 500-1000 hours. I know how long handmade garments take, its so much time and work. Edit: I mean to say I’ve MADE handmade garments, that’s how I know the time it takes
mom to her vintage clothes: I'd rather have it dirty than not have it at all me when I drop food on the ground: I'd rather have it dirty than not have it at all
I can't possibly be the first to suggest that you get In touch with Bernadette Banner!!! You could collaborate on a project to recreate this gorgeous garment using historically appropriate methods and textiles. Imagine having a recreation of that beautiful dress, made to fit your exact measurements that you could wear out and about! Wouldn't that be a dream come true!!!
That dress, remade is a lavender dress, with cream lace and a cape in beige (tan) with silver buttons and hooks......and I concur, Bernadette Banner would definitely do justice to a redo of that dress!!! I love her work!!! Her Lady Sherlock is inspiring!!!!!! Good luck!!!
@@SwimmingInSunlight After watching Bernadette Banner's video where she talks about the historical costume community, I'm pretty certain that they are acquainted with each other.
Just a thought. As you appear to believe the cape and dress to be of mildly different styles/years, perhaps the owner bought them separately a few years apart, but liked the look and just kept them together. Also as others have said, you should look at perhaps having it copied by a historical garment recreator. A guy here. You do look amazing in that outfit.
I literally gasped when you first pulled the dress out. I'm so jealous...and the fact that it fits! Just to be able to handle that dress and study the stitching and sewing techniques, heaven. I am so thankful for TH-cam and it's ability to connect nerds of our level, lol.
Guys, how do we _not_ know if Meme Mom is actually immortal and is trying to revive the fashion of her favorite eras????????? -do I smell a conspiracy theory?-
This is what the tag says : "Au Louvre Paris Rayon 61 Taille 44" Which is French for "At the Louvre Paris Rack 61 Size 44" So it's a French dress, yay I'm a proud French lady ;)
Cool! I knew "taille" but I only knew the word, Louvre because of the museum. Thanks very much for sharing. A French dress of this age. And beauty makes the most sense. I always thought French women could seem elegant if they were covered in mud and standing in a junkpile. Something about the way they carry themselves, because it's noticeable even if she looks like a hag.
Beautiful! I love seeing clothes from this era, my father was born in 1915, so my grandmother would have worn clothes just like this. I would add, I think that the length of the dress is perfect, from photos I have seen of this era, the skirts were ankle length, rather than floor length. Ladies were much more active, and needed less encumbrance. Thank you for this lovely video.
It's a very good comment. Kept me in suspense, because I had no idea how you were going to rhyme with "protecc, attacc" when I started reading the last sentence.
My grandma (father's side, born in 1880) used to be a professionel ironer and worked in noble swiss hotels in the early 19hdrs. Now I know why you had to be a professionel to iron this kind of garments.
That's the way i feel. I understand the desire to preserve history, but clothes are meant to be worn & move & be seen, not kept secure & static & probably stored out of sight. It's kinda sad.
That is a once in a lifetime find! The dress is in pristine condition! I am in awe! It is like some kind of "dress destiny" where the dress was waiting all these years to put her on and be admired for the beautiful details . I am so glad you had the money to buy the dress and I know for collectors wearing a dress like that is taboo but the dress looks like it was made for you! I am shaken(in a good way)! This video made my day! I subscribed! Good Day and kind regards
@@noomre9105 OMG..It is Dresstiny! your such a genius! I love hybrid words! We should submit this a new word to the Webster dictionary...Believe or not that is a thing! The truth is all words are Hybrid or are words derived from other languages! I hope this catches on.LOL
The ‘pigeon chest’ was an attractive look then- it spoke to motherhood, an adult woman, a female character trait which was held in high regard. .it was a fashion statement but one that also spoke to a raised familial tradition
It looks very gracefull too. Very pleasing to the eye as there are no harsh lines or angles. I honestly wouldn't mind that comming back instead of the push up bra look. I swear corsets look way more comfortable than what those bras make my boobs feel like.
Honestly your enthusiasm when handling and describing this garment was so infectious! I felt so hyped about this dress too and then the full reveal?! Yessss STUNNING!
I can't be bothered to read the 1000 comments to check if it's been said before, but the reason why it says "Au Louvre" on the tag is probably that it comes from the "Magasins du Louvre" which were one of those big department store the likes of the Galeries Lafayette or the Bon Marché. With a bit of research you could probably find that dress in one of their catalogues ;)
I agree with what Lolita says. As for the rest of the tag, "rayon" means "department", so this dress was for sale in "Department 61". Yes, "taille 44" means that it's a "size 44". @karolina, this is an amazing dress, and you are stunning in it! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
I agree with Lolita and Cynthia, although the first number is probably not 61, since the "Magasins du Louvre" had 52 departments at its prime. The building still exists, but it is currently closed for a huge renovation.
That dress is in stunning condition, and I think it's so exciting to see how they used the under layer to achieve the silhouette! I'm tucking that one away for future projects for sure.
Au Louvre Paris was a one of the first department shops in Paris, full name was Grands Magasins du Louvre, I've seen a Au Louvre catalogue, that was mentioning full name inside, so I'm almost sure. :) Taille is size, and as to rayon, at first I thought maybe it says it's made of rayon fabric, since fake silk was already invented, but name rayon wasn't in use till, I think, 20s, so no. I asked a friend, who speaks French, and he said it can also mean "department" or "section" in a shop, so that could be indication of the department it was bought in. :) Anyway, amazing find, and suits you perfectly. :)
5 ปีที่แล้ว +15
thank you! yeah, I don’t think “rayon” refers to the fabric.
That dress is exquisite and you wear it beautifully. I also really love the hat and shoes you chose to pair with it! It always makes me unreasonably happy when vintage pieces, be it clothing, furniture, or objects, find their way to people who appreciate them for what they are, recognize the artistic merit, and respect the historical significance. How fortunate that that dress found its way to someone who will preserve it with care, and wear it with unbridled joy!
As a French speaker I confirm that "taille" means size in fench :) it's pronounced "tai" / "thai", because the "lle" is silent at the end. The dress looks super gorgeous and fits you so well!
it would actually be pronounced thai-yuh, the "lle" is definitely not silent (unless there's a specific dialect of french that i've never heard of in which it is)
@@hybridfuckingcomplex Another french here, nah not really, thai is a pretty accurate way to pronounce it... Thai-yuh sounds like those english trying too hard to sound french x)
@Lola Montez rayon is just like... where they have put the clothe so you know where to find it again or get a refund if defective it has nothing to do with the material and the rest is in french so if it was targeted for the foreign market everything written would be in english not just one word
Definitely you can tell how well tailored it is, when you are standing the skirt has the proper weight so it falls gracefully and the puffy chest gives you an extra of elegance. I wonder if you the original owner had more shoulders or it has to look like very loose. Anyway the dress is stunning and a worth invest! The lavender color is so nice! Love it. Amazing!
Honestly, everyone should be passionate about what they do as much as she is. She is freaking fangirling for an old dress and seems so dang happy about it
@T M There's no doubt about it.. she's definitely a time traveler from the Edwardian era! The dress fits amazingly well, without any alterations or adjustments?? hmmmm.. yup, time traveler, not a bit of doubt, to be sure!
Oh no, that dress WAS made for you. Seriously. Some crazy time travelling seamstress came to the future, saw you, went back in time, made that dress, and then fate. Just fate. It.is.so.yours! What an amazing investment, thanks for sharing!
Off topic, but I’d love to hear your opinion on the costumes in Outlander (a series available on Netflix, set in the 1940s, 1740s and 1970s). They felt realistic enough to me, but then again, I am no expert. And I believe it would be fun to analyse, as it spans over 3 very different time periods!
@Gooblyful I am no expert, but I once saw a youtube video that said Claire's clothes are often sort of a mix of famous items/silhouettes from the era Claire came from (60's I believe?) and the 18th century.

500 Fr in 1908 would be ~2,000 € today, the price of a high-end gaming computer or a cheap used car.
Ie: half as much as you’d currently pay for a handmade dress in Paris.
500 then is probably pretty accurate.

Hey there, here is a translation of the tag : "In Louvre Paris, Section 51, size 11"
I might know where the dress comes from too! (but I'm not really sure) :
In 1880, the large building that was originally "Le Grand Hotel du Louvre" (a very huge hotel with 700 modern rooms and 1250 workers. It was very famous in the Capital City then), was turned into the department store called "Les Grands Magasins du Louvre", and so it stayed this way until 1974. There could be found numerous luxury shops, and I'm sure haute couture shops too. It has now been converted into an antique mall called "Le Louvre des Antiquaires".
I'm just guessing it, but maybe was it made in one of those luxury shop ?
Anyways, even if not, the dress still looks gorgeous ! It's the first video of your channel that I watch, and I got to say : you've found yourself a new subscriber ! 😊
- with much respect, a radom French boy
Exactly what I was going to say. It definitely comes from this Grand Magasin.
It's currenty occupied by "le Louvre des Antiquaires", which is dying for years. I guess that due to its location in one of the most expensive borough of Paris, this building will soon go back to selling luxury clothing.
Hi, super interesting information however I believe the tag says “taille 44”, doesn’t it?
-with respect a random Spanish girl lol ☺️😹
@@sikeko "taille" means "size". It also means waist, but in this case I'd go for size.

I bet the colors on that dress were so vibrant and lovely when it was first made. It's amazing how fabric fades overtime. It still looks nice now, but I can imagine the bolder blue/purple color it would have been 100 years ago.
Yes! Maybe even a purple/green/black like the suffragette colors! I wonder if someone like Bernadette Banner could study the dress and recreate it with new materials?
@@polymathica Ohh that would be amazing.
@@polymathica oh my god yes
im not impressed until your merch is hand sewn to this quality honestly
The close-ups show that the seams of this 100+ old dress are in better condition than H&M/Forver21 etc fashion when it's brand new.
I have clothes that are a year old with ripped seams and holes, and all that mess. I'm super impressed with dress.
Rue 21 is the WORST with that. The lines aren’t even straight half the time so the shirts look awkward and then random strings hanging off ugh
They're fast fashion and made not to last, unfortunately.
:whispers: thats because in a hyper capitalist society, things are made to break so you buy them again more often.
@@kalebh3419
:whispers: yeah, let's dismantle capitalism.
I love how everyone in the comments thinks she’s a time traveler
They are correct
Im baffled at how much clothing quality has decreased over the years. I still have some of my mother's clothing from 1924 and they are so well made! The quality of today's fast fashion can't compare to that.
Definitely! You are so right! The clothes back then were made to last.
I have a wool box jacket my mother wore in the 1960s , l wear it now and then
@@lindawinchcole9962 you make me wonder if I can wear my grandma's wedding dress from the 60s...hmm
It’s cause when people made clothes back then they were made to last, unless you were extremely wealthy you would not have different clothes for everyday. After mass production companies knew they could earn more money with decreasing quality, then people come back after clothes fray and break. And I think it’s become almost frowned upon wearing the same clothes multiple days not like years ago.
That's the case also with "modern" "fast-fashion" clothing from some years ago : I have inherited a robe from my great-grandma and a skirt from my grandma, both are synthetic fibers because they costed less and we have always been poor on all the generations I'm aware of (I think I must be the first person to have a tiny little bit of disposable income on my bloodline), and even these 40 or 30 years-old clothing look almost in pristine condition compared to my mom's or big sister's hand-me-downs.
Also, they fitted clothes for REAL women back then : I'm short and wide and these robe and skirt fit me so much better than what I've been able to buy for myself…
I've worn them repeatedly and only the buttons attachments are getting wear marks. I wish I could have ask to "inherit" more of this clothing but back then I had no sense of my own fashion and just disliked old things so that's all I could save from the donation bin.
Also I love the cut and lightness of old sleeping wear garments but DAMN are they see-through !!! They clearly never walked outside of their bedroom with it, and I cannot be bothered to use my great-grandma's robe during the unbearable heat of nowadays summer.
I bet the woman who wore this dress never imagined a hundred years later, a woman would be wearing her dress, in a video, on youtube 😮😮😮
Imagine going back in time and trying to explain people what internet is and how TH-cam and everything else works...

I think about things like that a lot. Like those 2000 year old mummies being unearth and studied. I wonder what they would think. It could happen to us in the future. You never know. 🤔 😂

Get out of my head.... Also, hang out near the morgue at the local hospital...lol
Yeeeeees
Omg yesss!! 😂😂😂
Erin gemini OMG! YES!!!! Brilliant idea 😂😂😂
my mother was born in 1913. She said her mother wore a morning dress for shopping on the avenue and then an afternoon dress for shopping in the afternoon. If you didn't change your dress, you were "looked down upon".
That would entirely be a function of how rich you were. Both my grandmothers were born just before 1900. I guarantee neither they or my greatgrandmothers ever had any dresses like this, let alone separate one for different shopping times. If my greatgrandmothers ever did shopping it was primarily for food items and household necessities they couldn't make or grow at home. I'm sure this is true for rhe vast majority of viewers.
That said, Karolina looks terrific.
Hello! I know this is quite an old comment, but I do hope you have the notifications on!
Would you mind telling us a little bit more? For example, where was your mum from and what social class did she belong to?
@@musical.theory Hi! My mother was first generation Irish. Her mother came to work as a maid or a waitress for a wealthy family. She never got the "chance" to work. My grandfather met her at her boarding house just as she had arrived to the U.S. . She was napping and she left her skirt draped over a sofa. He saw the skirt and asked the chaperone of the boarding house about the skirt's owner. She (the chaperone) said "Oh that skirt belongs to Bridget who is asleep upstairs". "I'll wait until she wakes up" , he replied and he did. My grandfather was a custodial engineer who repaired heating systems in NY public schools so he made a nice living. He bought a couple of houses before settling in Woodhaven, NY. The avenue to which I refer is Jamaica Avenue and the time of my grandmother's shopping expeditions would be about 1910-1930. She died of ovarian cancer at 49 in 1932. Thanks for your interest! a
Why stuff your undergarments when you can add FRILLS TO YOUR DRESSES' CHEST. Genius, honestly.
i was thinking the same thing! Honestly they should bring that back in style! Looks way more comfortable than a padded bra!
My sister made my wedding dress. She put frills on the bust and the butt. I loved it, and everyone else did, too.
Yes it’s a boob bustle!!
You should find a really good tailor and get a copy of this dress that you can actually wear because it looks amazing on you
Simplified, if course...
agreed
do you know how much it would cost to make a dress like this today? at least 1000 dollars.
monjiaitaly I mean I can’t imagine how much her 100 year old dress was. Vintage stuff is a lot of money. Probably about the same lol
Definitely
You may be homeless but the dress was worth it
I feel this statement on a cellular level
Karolina FEELING herself in an antique dress is such a wholesome mood
This...flexing on fat plebs🤣
Something tells me that in 110 years nobody is going to faun over the amazing craftsmanship in my gym shorts and pizza stained t-shirts....
Or Pants without pockets
100 years from now.... *tries on low-waist skinny jeans* oh my gosh I can't believe women actually wore these, I can't really bend over wearing these because the waist is so low and too much would show. What an awful design.
Jacey King or wearing pj’s to the supermarket or running errands!! 😉 we are progressing backward in fashion in my humble opinion💐
Don't underestimate the historical fashion nerds of the future. "See, this one I found the other day has a PRE-2015 NORTH FACE LOGO. Now, MOST people think there isn't a difference, but THOSE people don't know what to LOOK for in antique north face shit."
You're right. But they'll still be screeching over this same dress, now 220 years old 😂
Everyone make a donation page so Karolina can buy more 1,000,000+ year old dresses so we can all enjoy watching her nerd out.
YES.
I'd be happy to donate!
I can't even find clothes that fit me in 2019 how you finding shit from 1909???
Well shes like 40kg
and the dress is Euro 44 or US 10 to 11.5 so it's an amazing find.
EDIT: This comment is from another viewer and takes into account modern day "Vanity Sizing"
Moth Noises
I’m french and I can tell you sizes have changed.
She says her waist is 65 cm/25,5 inches. That’s a size 36 in france and a size 4 in the us.
A size 44 would fit a 82cm/32 inches waist.

These clothes were made for real women, not mass produced to fit an ideal of women's sizes
@@jennyboldrini7330 did you actually just say that? Those dresses were literally created to fit a woman but only if she was cinched the fuck up in a tight corset.........I'd call that being produced to fit an ideal body instead of a real one

Y'know... If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you could always take a pattern off of this dress and recreate it so you'd have a guilt-free wearable version
That is not an easy dress to make... the pleating is hell
@@purplerobin92 The 100 hours would be worth it.
@Will Langstroth I'm sure it would take MUCH longer than just 100 hours! With all that embroidery and pleating it would take anywhere from 500-1000 hours. I know how long handmade garments take, its so much time and work.
Edit: I mean to say I’ve MADE handmade garments, that’s how I know the time it takes
@@maddieschaefer Oh, I was saying 100 hours for the pleating alone. Yes, it would definitely take way more time for the whole dress.
Will Langstroth oh yeah that makes sense. 100 for pleats actually sounds pretty accurate

ChocoCondos i love your pfp so much
I can't possibly be the first to suggest that you get In touch with Bernadette Banner!!! You could collaborate on a project to recreate this gorgeous garment using historically appropriate methods and textiles.
Imagine having a recreation of that beautiful dress, made to fit your exact measurements that you could wear out and about! Wouldn't that be a dream come true!!!
100% agree!
Now I need this to happen.
Bernadette has mentioned Meme Mom in her previous videos so I assume they're at least acquainted 😊
That dress, remade is a lavender dress, with cream lace and a cape in beige (tan) with silver buttons and hooks......and I concur, Bernadette Banner would definitely do justice to a redo of that dress!!! I love her work!!! Her Lady Sherlock is inspiring!!!!!! Good luck!!!
@@SwimmingInSunlight After watching Bernadette Banner's video where she talks about the historical costume community, I'm pretty certain that they are acquainted with each other.
8:26 "Damn, Downton Abbey. Hell yeah. Lady Crawley move away 'cause I'm coming for your man." 😂😂😂😂
"I see remains of silk lining so I'm guessing it was there."
Lies, you know the lining is missing because it was your dress!
Just a thought. As you appear to believe the cape and dress to be of mildly different styles/years, perhaps the owner bought them separately a few years apart, but liked the look and just kept them together.
Also as others have said, you should look at perhaps having it copied by a historical garment recreator.
A guy here. You do look amazing in that outfit.
Agreed. She looks do pretty
That’s what I was thinking, she should try and have it recreated
Yes she is
'I invest in art' - literally what I say every time I tell people how much I've spent on antique books 😂

omg I found a couple books in an Antique store that were published in 1906
Plot twist: it's your own dress from your past life.. 😁 fits you really well!
Cool idea!
Totally plausible... 👍🏽
Yeah, and she got it made so she secretly wouldn’t have to wear a corset and no one would ever know
the joy on her face while standing in full outfit outside is so adorable
I literally gasped when you first pulled the dress out. I'm so jealous...and the fact that it fits! Just to be able to handle that dress and study the stitching and sewing techniques, heaven. I am so thankful for TH-cam and it's ability to connect nerds of our level, lol.
Guys, how do we _not_ know if Meme Mom is actually immortal and is trying to revive the fashion of her favorite eras????????? -do I smell a conspiracy theory?-
This is what the tag says :
"Au Louvre Paris
Rayon 61
Taille 44"
Which is French for
"At the Louvre Paris
Rack 61
Size 44"
So it's a French dress, yay I'm a proud French lady ;)
So 6 becomes 9 in French?
Lmao jk
@@rangercynth Just corrected, thanks!
French dress... That explains why the waist was so small...
Cool! I knew "taille" but I only knew the word, Louvre because of the museum. Thanks very much for sharing. A French dress of this age. And beauty makes the most sense. I always thought French women could seem elegant if they were covered in mud and standing in a junkpile. Something about the way they carry themselves, because it's noticeable even if she looks like a hag.
It's taille 44, there is a number 1 on top of the L in "taille" and you can see the difference between 4 and 1
Beautiful! I love seeing clothes from this era, my father was born in 1915, so my grandmother would have worn clothes just like this. I would add, I think that the length of the dress is perfect, from photos I have seen of this era, the skirts were ankle length, rather than floor length. Ladies were much more active, and needed less encumbrance. Thank you for this lovely video.

"who cares? I invest in art." Me living in a shack made entirely out of photobooks
My grandma (father's side, born in 1880) used to be a professionel ironer and worked in noble swiss hotels in the early 19hdrs. Now I know why you had to be a professionel to iron this kind of garments.
I'm sure the dress was happy to finally be worn again.
That's the way i feel. I understand the desire to preserve history, but clothes are meant to be worn & move & be seen, not kept secure & static & probably stored out of sight. It's kinda sad.
I never thought my life would come to watching a woman drool over dusty fabric but MAMA IM HOOKED I LUV U

Well 1910 is where the dress is from soooo 🤷♂️
Seeing that dress in natural light made me realize how pretty of a color it actually is!
That is a once in a lifetime find! The dress is in pristine condition! I am in awe! It is like some kind of "dress destiny" where the dress was waiting all these years to put her on and be admired for the beautiful details . I am so glad you had the money to buy the dress and I know for collectors wearing a dress like that is taboo but the dress looks like it was made for you! I am shaken(in a good way)!

The ‘pigeon chest’ was an attractive look then- it spoke to motherhood, an adult woman, a female character trait which was held in high regard. .it was a fashion statement but one that also spoke to a raised familial tradition
It looks very gracefull too. Very pleasing to the eye as there are no harsh lines or angles. I honestly wouldn't mind that comming back instead of the push up bra look. I swear corsets look way more comfortable than what those bras make my boobs feel like.
@@MissCaraMint feel like squashed melons, right? I tried a push up bra and I swear I must’ve looked like a pin cushion, but only once. . .

Lol, yeah me too! I think I'm in "time passing denial"...
Ha! Right?
Omg you should totally do a "fashion blogger clothing haul" video, but from a 1900s/1910s perspective 😂
Bahahahha
I can't be bothered to read the 1000 comments to check if it's been said before, but the reason why it says "Au Louvre" on the tag is probably that it comes from the "Magasins du Louvre" which were one of those big department store the likes of the Galeries Lafayette or the Bon Marché. With a bit of research you could probably find that dress in one of their catalogues ;)
I agree with what Lolita says. As for the rest of the tag, "rayon" means "department", so this dress was for sale in "Department 61". Yes, "taille 44" means that it's a "size 44". @karolina, this is an amazing dress, and you are stunning in it! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thank you! I'm googling that now 💜💜😍
It's adorbs.
You can get patterns from that time and have the clothes to wear now.. or have a pattern made from the dress
I agree with Lolita and Cynthia, although the first number is probably not 61, since the "Magasins du Louvre" had 52 departments at its prime. The building still exists, but it is currently closed for a huge renovation.
I have no interest in fashion of any era, but this woman's enthusiasm makes for great viewing
That dress is in stunning condition, and I think it's so exciting to see how they used the under layer to achieve the silhouette! I'm tucking that one away for future projects for sure.
Au Louvre Paris was a one of the first department shops in Paris, full name was Grands Magasins du Louvre, I've seen a Au Louvre catalogue, that was mentioning full name inside, so I'm almost sure. :) Taille is size, and as to rayon, at first I thought maybe it says it's made of rayon fabric, since fake silk was already invented, but name rayon wasn't in use till, I think, 20s, so no. I asked a friend, who speaks French, and he said it can also mean "department" or "section" in a shop, so that could be indication of the department it was bought in. :) Anyway, amazing find, and suits you perfectly. :)
thank you! yeah, I don’t think “rayon” refers to the fabric.
Thank you for this! I was wondering about the rayon labeling.
Rayon as the fabric material in French would be Viscose. In this context, rayon refers to the shop’s department
Karolina: says she's thick
Also Karolina: literally has a 26 inch waist 😂😂
Leah Youngquist ...Right?!?!
This is me before my morning constitution...🤰🏻🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Oh thick means dumb where I'm from so assumed she meant she was too dumb to do the back up herself
Wait is a 26 inch waist considered small? Woooot
@@yukiii1680 in America (where I'm from, idk about you) an average waist size is in the mid 30s! So 26 is very small from my poomt of reference lol
Leah Youngquist oh wow I’m American as well, I always thought a small waist was 22-24 inches
That dress is exquisite and you wear it beautifully. I also really love the hat and shoes you chose to pair with it! It always makes me unreasonably happy when vintage pieces, be it clothing, furniture, or objects, find their way to people who appreciate them for what they are, recognize the artistic merit, and respect the historical significance. How fortunate that that dress found its way to someone who will preserve it with care, and wear it with unbridled joy!
As a French speaker I confirm that "taille" means size in fench :) it's pronounced "tai" / "thai", because the "lle" is silent at the end.
The dress looks super gorgeous and fits you so well!
it would actually be pronounced thai-yuh, the "lle" is definitely not silent (unless there's a specific dialect of french that i've never heard of in which it is)
@@hybridfuckingcomplex Another french here, nah not really, thai is a pretty accurate way to pronounce it... Thai-yuh sounds like those english trying too hard to sound french x)
@Lola Montez rayon just means alley in a market there is no such thing as the word "rayon" for a fabric material in french
@Lola Montez rayon is just like... where they have put the clothe so you know where to find it again or get a refund if defective it has nothing to do with the material and the rest is in french so if it was targeted for the foreign market everything written would be in english not just one word
@Lola Montez i am french so... It does make sense to me but i'm not quite sure i can explain all of it properly in an understandable way to you
Definitely you can tell how well tailored it is, when you are standing the skirt has the proper weight so it falls gracefully and the puffy chest gives you an extra of elegance. I wonder if you the original owner had more shoulders or it has to look like very loose. Anyway the dress is stunning and a worth invest! The lavender color is so nice! Love it. Amazing!
My crops are watered and my cows fed just from looking at this dress omg
The sheep are sheared, the stables are clean, the horses are brushed, the lawn is mowed d: .

That's not a farm wife's dress.
Honestly, everyone should be passionate about what they do as much as she is. She is freaking fangirling for an old dress and seems so dang happy about it
Absolutely beautiful dress. Your very elegant long neck. Kind of eerie to see an Edwardian lady in real time. Perfect.
@T M There's no doubt about it.. she's definitely a time traveler from the Edwardian era! The dress fits amazingly well, without any alterations or adjustments?? hmmmm.. yup, time traveler, not a bit of doubt, to be sure!
Celia Jarvis I agree! She does look as if she stepped out of the Edwardian era!!
Oh no, that dress WAS made for you. Seriously. Some crazy time travelling seamstress came to the future, saw you, went back in time, made that dress, and then fate. Just fate. It.is.so.yours! What an amazing investment, thanks for sharing!

Off topic, but I’d love to hear your opinion on the costumes in Outlander (a series available on Netflix, set in the 1940s, 1740s and 1970s).
They felt realistic enough to me, but then again, I am no expert. And I believe it would be fun to analyse, as it spans over 3 very different time periods!

@Gooblyful I am no expert, but I once saw a youtube video that said Claire's clothes are often sort of a mix of famous items/silhouettes from the era Claire came from (60's I believe?) and the 18th century.
