Eee! I'm seventeen and just got into it last year! Admittedly I'm more into the Edwardian era, but I also really like the Regency era (probably second or third favorite). I really love the general shape and silhouette of both eras. :)
"their journey to the north" is hands down the most hilarious way anyone has ever described the regency boob migration. also i know a shop that sells originals of exactly the journal you were talking about, have been eyeing them up for so long, though sadly they cost like 300 euros **cries**

"Pockets didn't really fit under the new silhouette" so this has been a problem for 300 years, good to know... also, my favourite fruit is raspberries :)
NB: In art history red coral necklaces in paintings could represent health & well being, familial ties to sea trade or were a leftover from the Renaissance where they represented the blood of Christ and were a symbol of protection (I'm so glad my art history degree stands me in good stead for TH-cam commentary). Also: apples, pink ladies in particular, cherries and sharon fruit
I love the high waist line of Regency. It's flattering on most figures and looks more comfortable than styles that came before and after it. P.S. Banana or Pear
As I understand, when travelers would write back to families about the fashions they saw going through cities and towns they would describe the type of fabric used. One of the fabrics in use was a water pattern silk transposed in the writing to watered fabric. As the receiver of the letter had not seen such a pattern before they then, as chinese whispers go, diseminated the information through talking with other people and the imperfect understanding of others thought people wetted the fabric. But no, it was actually a water pattern on very lightwight fabric which gave a drapy clingy appearance.
As someone who has a long time regency obsession, I LOVE that Bridgerton is giving my weird, niche interest a moment in the sun! Also give me ALL the berries, but fresh picked blackberries are the absolute best.
That's a tough one. Pineapple, blackberries, and blueberries. Just remember to get your citrus in, no scurvy! And yes, there are cases of scurvy in this day and age. I've seen it as I'm in healthcare!!
I've encountered a few men who when first moving out of home decide they are going to eat steak and potato every day because there's nobody to make them eat their vegetables. And then they end up with scurvy and gout and hopefully repent of their life choices (though not always).
It's true! I had a friend describing how they felt unwell to me recently -- malaise, cuts taking forever to heal, sore teeth, sore joints... it was indeed scurvy. Some things never truly go away, apparently!!
My roomie in college developed scurvy and as an employee of food services she had free run of anything she wanted to eat! She consistently chose Wonder bread, turkey, and mustard plus a Hostess product.....for every single meal! Roomie almost lost some teeth! This was around 1989, too.
Omg I remember reading about those empire waist pannier gowns, I always thought they would be fun for masquerades or crazy new-year party event I wish we had either a replica or an actual garment that survived it would be amusing to see how it looked compared to the illustrations. I wonder how many of those poor courtly dressed women looked like their arms were position in a chicken stance lol.
@@thenerdybunny1296 she was referring specifically to the regency court gowns from england. which im about 98% sure they didn't because those high wealth ladies either gave them away to their servants or had them altered to suit the wild 1830's look.
"I don't want the video to be 20 hours long"... I do! More, more, more, please! Favourite fruit - raspberries; like eating sugar bees, sweet & fuzzy with a sting at the end...
Seriously...20 hours on textiles, underpinnings , styles in different regions, how one region influenced another, readings/pictures from various primary sources...basically a full on master class sounds about perfect to me!
Veronica Vatter they were very good! It’s been like a year or two since I’ve had any. Although, now I wonder if I should search the farmer’s market in June to taste them in their prime.
You know, I generally say that Regency era is my least favourite when it comes to historical fashion. I’m a Victorian girl, all the way (which Victorian fashion? Why, all of them!) But a lot of my favourite books are set in the Regency period, and I do at least like to be able to put together an accurate picture in my head of what people look like. And honestly there really is quite a bit to it. I am endlessly amused that the new “please don’t chop my head off, I promise I’m not an aristocrat” fashion actually came from the woman who most exemplified the very aristocracy that was so hated. That’s just funny. Hilarious, actually. About as hilarious as those weird Regency court gowns. The regency bodice really doesn’t go well with the huge hooped skirts of the 18th century, does it? Also, banana, because I am boring.
I see your point with the whole regency thing. It’s not my favorite either (I also like Victorian fashion as well) HOWEVER I cannot forgive the 1830s with its ATROCIOUS sleeves. Although I normally say you can never be too extra, I ABHOR those sleeves
I’ve found that I usually prefer the fashions during a transition period - like phase 1 Regency, and my absolute favorite: turn of the century going into the start of the early 1920s. I wonder what that’s about?? 🧐
It’s really funny because when I was little I couldn’t stand regency era fashion either and preferred the tight corseted fashions of the Victorian period. It’s strange now that I’m older and I’m starting to like regency gowns, which I never in a million years thought would happen, I think it’s the Grecian look that’s appealing.
Strawberries! I love how you conveyed the changes in fashion and silhouette from year to year -- the rise and fall of the empire waistline... and the drawers anecdote :D
I'm so glad you actually brought up Regency Court Dress, it's so ridiculous and over the top, lol. My friends and I were talking about it on Bernadette's Discord not too long ago. I currently have severe Chinese food cravings
This was really interesting. I guess I have a very fixed vision of the Regency fashion because of the Jane Austen adaptations I've seen. And, strawberries.
that was really interesting, I really want you to do something similar for 1860-1890 and the crinoline-bustle era, but I realise you are regency. Fantastic, though.
will you do a version like this for the victorian era? Not the whole thing, of course, but like a video for the, crinoline era, and then one for the bustle era, etc.
Omg please make this a series where you take us through as much of fashion history as you can get sources this detailed for! I'm not sure what my favourite fruit is. Strawberries? Green grapes? A really good divinely sweet and juicy peach? Depends on the quality of the fruit!
Actually I have a pineapple waiting to be prepared right now! I like it baked in cake as fresh does terrible things to my tongue. Yes, I do like looking and hearing about the progression of ladies fashion. Thank you for doing all that research for me! Blessings on you and your family and friends.
So informative! There's so much more than what's portrayed in dramas and movies. This era has never been my favorite, but going through the details and history makes me want to research more Those court dresses...my eyes feel like they feasted well Also I love me some raspberries
Thank you for sharing your primary reference resources! So many fruits: gooseberries & mulberries, when we lived on a piece of land that provided them...apples from Grandfather's orchard, strawberries from Grandmother's "patch"...cherries from barter from the woman next door...Meyer lemons from my brother & sister in law's tree. My favorite fruits have to do with connection, love & community.
Omg! Thank you for sitting in front of your books. I have read most of them, but the Poison Study series is new to me. Happily spent all afternoon reading book one. AWESOME
Wow I didn’t realize that there were so many looks. My favourite is peaches though I enjoy most fruits. I rarely get much without effort and deception!! Grandson loves fruits and veggies I find myself hiding them so I get some before he eats them all!!
I love that you love to laugh! (But really, who could look at those Regency court gowns and keep a straight face??? Those are wild! Imagine having occasion to wear one... I'd die!)
🥭 There is nothing better than a tree ripened Raposa mango!! 🥭 Thank you for the history lesson - just enough detail to make feel I can identify the eras, & not so much that I think I do not need to dig deeper into the nitty gritty. Many thanks! I wish you many ripe 🥭
Can't beat a nice ripe orange. I'm very much enjoying the machines they have at the supermarkets here in the Netherlands that juice whole oranges for you, so you can get freshly-squeezed OJ whenever you like.
in Spain we call that period "independence era" because it happened jus after the defeat of napoleon bonaparte in 1812, but the spaniard fashion was pretty different, just in case you are interested you can check washington irving's "tales of the alhambra" (1829) for some descriptions of spaniard fashion 😁
@@jackih5502 well, here in spain we name them after spaniard wars or spaniard kings, but I guess if English is the new lingua franca, it's normal to use "regency", so everybody can understand the same thing hehehe
I downloaded a book of Goya's portraits just to get some details of what was happening in Spain at the time. All my regency era plans are very much Duquessa de Alba inspired and anyone who criticizes it as not historically acurate will be getting an education ;)
Oranges are a fave this time of year. There in season and so fresh and full of flavor and nutrients one seems to need in the cold winter months as we are spending more time indoors out of the sun 🌞 So yes of course I stayed until the end it’s an awesome lesson in Regency fashion. Just saw Bridgerton and yearned for more insight !
All the fruits honestly are my favorite. I haven’t had durian but I would be willing to. I do have to say that I absolutely love the out takes at the end, I use to make phone calls for a living to remind people their RX was expiring and there were days when words were hard... a lot of days lol.
Blue berries, and tiny native persimmons. Thanks for explaining the thirty year span. That explains a lot! I have a simplicity pattern I want to make and there’s no companion pattern or even an explanation on undergarments.
wow those court dresses! my favourite fruit is mango. i always felt regency was such a drastic change from the previous century, but it was so cool to see it was more gradual than i thought
Those drawers came back into fashion briefly (!) in the 1970’s. They were worn with calve length wide skirts, and showing underneath. I can remember having an outfit like that! Oranges, always!
I about dropped my phone into my dye vat when you showed the court gowns. Oh my god, they're utterly ridiculous and absolutely delightful! 😂 thank you for such a lovely and informative video, and my favorite fruit is strawberries 🍓
Thanks for showing how regency was a broader era than commonly portrayed. There is enough variety that it suits quite a good range of body types. Cherries, blueberries, nectarines, watermelon...can't pick just one and looking forward to summer's bounty!
Right now my favourite fruit is Strawberries, which thankfully are currently in season. I always loved Regency style, but have only recently found that I actually like late Regency most. So this video was great in reaffirming this. Thanks.
East coast black raspberries, also known as black caps, are my favorite. I moved from upstate New York to mid Arizona 8 years ago and being a desert they don't grow here. I miss them terribly!!!!
I have to say that tomatoes are actually my favorite fruit... Yes, they are a fruit! Just a savory one. But if I had to pick a more traditionally recognized fruit as my favorite, then I say lemon 🍋. I love lemon desserts, candied lemon peel, a squeeze of lemon in your iced tea... such diversity!
I'm working on a historical Rapunzel that's set in the 1820's so im doing my research on these right now. I do agree that if you want to start historical costuming Regency is a great start as they don't require a whole lot and if you don't have that much sewing skills it's an easier start then earlier or later periods
I lov regency, because it point 100 years forward by the short hemlines and scandolous sheer fabric, resemblence of underweear, and the idea of free body movement. Somethings don't change.
I had a dress and apron based on an 1814 dress (which I scandalously did not wear with stays) and I need to make a new version of. I keep looking at going full bore, with stays etc. I've hard the hardest difficulty finding pictures/sources for middle class day wear. Thank you for the magazine sources. I love muscadines when I can get them.
I have too many favorite foods to pick just one, but my favorite Thai dish is green curry soup. I like to make my own curry paste for it which makes the finished dish taste phenomenal.
Hmmmm.... either peaches or cherries. Definitely. And looking at the embroidery on some of those evening gowns makes me want to up my embroidery game. I'll... probably just stick to knitting. And damn it, now I'm going to end up in one of my 'trying to figure out where knitting/crocheting entered fashion' binges again...
You have a wonderful collection of Tamora Pierce!! Her Lioness quartet was my North star growing up. I very much give her credit and thanks for who i am today, because of those books.
As soon as I left here, I went and checked another favorite channel. Amazingly it is titled "1800’s life hacks! What were they thinking?!? " The channel name is Curiosity Incorporated. It is a recorded live feed that lasted over an hour.... no telling what else they will talk about. The topic centers around an 1800's cookbook. Alex is reading a newspaper clipping and the first tip is how to remove mud splatters from your clothes.... I expect this will be interesting... back to the video.
I have to say "greatly resembled undergarments" is exactly what I thought when I first saw the dresses and did not feel comfortable with the idea of adding that to my wardrobe, but I always wondered what the entire fashion trends were. Some of the more "covered" and less "risque" dresses seemed more like my style and quite pretty. Grapes (raw or fermented) mainly, but I am partial to the occasional canteloupe. Pineapples are amazing. They contain much vitamin C, manganese, fiber, and bromelain. Bromelain is useful for reducing pain and swelling of the nose, sinuses, and gums after surgery or injury and may even help with the treatment of burns (if applied topically), osteoarthritis, cancer, digestive problems, and muscle soreness. That last little bit came from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) which is part of the National Institutes of Health.
Thank you for this extremely interesting vlog about my favourite fashion era. Favourite fruits, peaches and raspberries and I love the outtakes at the end lol. “Stiffles”🤣🇬🇧
My favorite fruit is the apple, more specifically types that are tart and snappy. Thank you for this lovely condensed overview of Regency fashion. The out of focus moments gave me a chance to admire your book collection.
I honestly eat so many apples that it's hard to keep them in the house! Thank you for this great overview. I had always noticed that there seemed to be variation in the so-called "regency" styles, but had never taken the time to research the period in depth. I'm starting my historical costuming obsession with the late 1910s, but regency is next on my list after that. Can't wait to follow along with your regency adventures!
I don't usually comment but I loved today's video. I've been fascinated by the fashion of this period since I was a child. Plus, for me happiness is a bowl of fresh strawberries.
My favorite fruit is lingonberry, but I'll have to try making a pineapple reticule. I'm allergic to them and a reticule seems like a perfect way to enjoy them. This video was so good. Thank you!
Wonderful tour! Thanks so much. The court gowns seem to be an awful mishmash of the high waistline over the bowl skirt! 🙄😲 That is so funny about losing the one pantalette leg! "My lace!" 🥝 My favourite fruits are mangoes, kiwi, raspberries and apples.🍎
I remember from Costuber reviews of the Bridgerton TV series that the characters wore French court dress when they appeared at court, which was much closer to "normal" Regency evening wear, but VERY different from Regency court dress at the English court.
“Caused quite a scandal as it greatly resembled undergarments”... some things never change
To be fair, that dress was hella nice
The og string from low rise jeans 😂
I’m 12 and very Into historical fashion, I’m new to sewing so I’m starting at the regency era. This video helped me so much, thank you.
Eee! I'm seventeen and just got into it last year! Admittedly I'm more into the Edwardian era, but I also really like the Regency era (probably second or third favorite). I really love the general shape and silhouette of both eras. :)
I'm also 12, new and starting on regent fashion LOL😁 What a coincidence
Good luck all of you!
I'm 12 too!
Wow, you legit just described me, except I'm not very new to sewing.
"their journey to the north" is hands down the most hilarious way anyone has ever described the regency boob migration.
also i know a shop that sells originals of exactly the journal you were talking about, have been eyeing them up for so long, though sadly they cost like 300 euros **cries**
😆😆😁
Regency boob migration does not sound bad either
Haha... Love it.

"Pockets didn't really fit under the new silhouette" so this has been a problem for 300 years, good to know...
also, my favourite fruit is raspberries :)
They came back once the skirt started getting fuller again! Even ball gowns had hidden pockets in the 1890s 😁🥳
The dresses are beautiful
NB: In art history red coral necklaces in paintings could represent health & well being, familial ties to sea trade or were a leftover from the Renaissance where they represented the blood of Christ and were a symbol of protection (I'm so glad my art history degree stands me in good stead for TH-cam commentary). Also: apples, pink ladies in particular, cherries and sharon fruit
Cool share Ruth, thanks!😁👍❤
Pink Lady apples were developed in Australia in 1973. Perhaps it was some other cultivar.
@@timesawasting7532 and I grew up in Australia in the 80s, still one of my fave fruits :)
@@timesawasting7532I thought she meant cool toned ladies. Like women who are slightly pinkish.
12:49 is anyone else in love with beautiful embroidery on the white dress? I am in love with this 😍
It was literally breathtaking!
Definitely my favorite!
Yes! I had to find it. Its on her regency pinterest board and is in the V&A museum!
I want it!!!
Learn to embroider your own👍 It's good for de-stressing, and would look amazing
I love the high waist line of Regency. It's flattering on most figures and looks more comfortable than styles that came before and after it.
P.S. Banana or Pear
As I understand, when travelers would write back to families about the fashions they saw going through cities and towns they would describe the type of fabric used. One of the fabrics in use was a water pattern silk transposed in the writing to watered fabric. As the receiver of the letter had not seen such a pattern before they then, as chinese whispers go, diseminated the information through talking with other people and the imperfect understanding of others thought people wetted the fabric. But no, it was actually a water pattern on very lightwight fabric which gave a drapy clingy appearance.
So interesting!
Me: [listens with interest]
Also me: [stares over shoulder at bookshelf with growing approval]

I've encountered a few men who when first moving out of home decide they are going to eat steak and potato every day because there's nobody to make them eat their vegetables. And then they end up with scurvy and gout and hopefully repent of their life choices (though not always).
It's true! I had a friend describing how they felt unwell to me recently -- malaise, cuts taking forever to heal, sore teeth, sore joints... it was indeed scurvy. Some things never truly go away, apparently!!
This is a good list. I'd have to agree and in that order too.
My roomie in college developed scurvy and as an employee of food services she had free run of anything she wanted to eat! She consistently chose Wonder bread, turkey, and mustard plus a Hostess product.....for every single meal! Roomie almost lost some teeth! This was around 1989, too.
I’m so glad you talked briefly about the Regency court dress, it’s such a fabulous fashion abomination; I love them haha 😄.
Perfect modern work wear, I thought….. 🤔😆

There are a couple regency gowns that have survived.

Seriously...20 hours on textiles, underpinnings , styles in different regions, how one region influenced another, readings/pictures from various primary sources...basically a full on master class sounds about perfect to me!
Those court dresses kind of look like if someone took the classic regency era gown and filled the skirt up with air like a balloon. Great video!
I just ate a huge bowl of fresh cherries, they are my favorite at the moment. However, I’m ready for pineapples, cause they are the best.
Hahaha
I don't eat cherries til June or july when they are in season. We're they good?
I totally forgot cherries!!!?? How is that possible. Cherries with dark chocolate -cherries marinated in rum...or something...Dying here.

Just not English grammar though!
I think this is one of the pretties era's in fashion history, I really like the long , slender and kind of flowy and minimal look
I love mangoes! I had a fresh mango every day for several months when I was doing my study abroad, and it was so lovely.
Acceptable mangoes are hard to find here (don't even get me started about edible fresh apricots), but I do love a good dried mango.
Strawberries!

I have plans for bustle gown in the future! You can thank @costuming_drama for that 😂
Enchanted Rose Costumes the Blessed Noelle!
That's a tough question. Apricots and cherries are up there tho.
Totally not taking a screenshot of a historical fashion video for fiction book recommendations... 😇
You are not the only one xD
will you do a version like this for the victorian era? Not the whole thing, of course, but like a video for the, crinoline era, and then one for the bustle era, etc.
Karolina has a great video on the Victorian era!
Omg please make this a series where you take us through as much of fashion history as you can get sources this detailed for! I'm not sure what my favourite fruit is. Strawberries? Green grapes? A really good divinely sweet and juicy peach? Depends on the quality of the fruit!
I'm so glad you threw in regency court dress at the end. They're so much fun - mainly because... WHY??? I love it.
Actually I have a pineapple waiting to be prepared right now! I like it baked in cake as fresh does terrible things to my tongue. Yes, I do like looking and hearing about the progression of ladies fashion. Thank you for doing all that research for me! Blessings on you and your family and friends.
The second phase, 1806- 1817, is at 8:41
So informative! There's so much more than what's portrayed in dramas and movies. This era has never been my favorite, but going through the details and history makes me want to research more
Those court dresses...my eyes feel like they feasted well
Also I love me some raspberries
Thank you for sharing your primary reference resources!
So many fruits: gooseberries & mulberries, when we lived on a piece of land that provided them...apples from Grandfather's orchard, strawberries from Grandmother's "patch"...cherries from barter from the woman next door...Meyer lemons from my brother & sister in law's tree.

Twenty hour class. Yes, please. I cannot express the delight given to me by that thought! Details are Queen! Pineapple!
I love that you love to laugh!
(But really, who could look at those Regency court gowns and keep a straight face??? Those are wild! Imagine having occasion to wear one... I'd die!)
They were in court for looooonng stretches of time and as there were no babysitters the ladies hide their children under the tent sized skirts. maybe?
Those court dresses...wow...I love them...also, blackberries.
Raspberries are where it's at, but I'll take a pineapple reticule any day!
You amaze me with your knowledge and ability to communicate the era.
Absolutely love this video! Incredible research!

Sumo oranges. Although that pineapple reticule is amazing and I want to make three.
There is a free pattern from an extant one online!
Not only are you deeply knowledgeable, you have *excellent* taste in books!
Why thank you 😁
Grapes and cherries by far. Oranges too, though they're a hassle to peel.
Grapes and cherries are far more of a hassle to peel.... (joking)

Best historical dresses ever😍😍. The regency/ empire waist dress are my favourite style. I would so wear these dresses today.
Lychees, starfruit for exotic fruit and clementines for everyday fruit. Really enjoyed this!
Dark chocolate (80%). Delightful introduction. Out-takes are so fun!

Thanks for showing how regency was a broader era than commonly portrayed. There is enough variety that it suits quite a good range of body types.
Cherries, blueberries, nectarines, watermelon...can't pick just one and looking forward to summer's bounty!
Right now my favourite fruit is Strawberries, which thankfully are currently in season.
I always loved Regency style, but have only recently found that I actually like late Regency most. So this video was great in reaffirming this. Thanks.
Woww... Even if your video was 10 hours long I could go on listening to it.. Soo interesting, and your voice is so soothing too!!
Sable grapes are my fave right now.
I learned a lot about Regency styles from this video. The image I had in my mind was only a tiny part of the era.
East coast black raspberries, also known as black caps, are my favorite. I moved from upstate New York to mid Arizona 8 years ago and being a desert they don't grow here. I miss them terribly!!!!
I have to say that tomatoes are actually my favorite fruit... Yes, they are a fruit! Just a savory one.
But if I had to pick a more traditionally recognized fruit as my favorite, then I say lemon 🍋. I love lemon desserts, candied lemon peel, a squeeze of lemon in your iced tea... such diversity!
I love grapes! Thank you for this wonderful video. I had no idea there were so many styles in the regency era!
I'm working on a historical Rapunzel that's set in the 1820's so im doing my research on these right now. I do agree that if you want to start historical costuming Regency is a great start as they don't require a whole lot and if you don't have that much sewing skills it's an easier start then earlier or later periods
Rapunzel is perfect for Regency!
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes I'm basing it off of Claire Hummels historical Princess series and she does fit perfect into that period!
I lov regency, because it point 100 years forward by the short hemlines and scandolous sheer fabric, resemblence of underweear, and the idea of free body movement. Somethings don't change.
I had a dress and apron based on an 1814 dress (which I scandalously did not wear with stays) and I need to make a new version of. I keep looking at going full bore, with stays etc. I've hard the hardest difficulty finding pictures/sources for middle class day wear. Thank you for the magazine sources. I love muscadines when I can get them.
I have too many favorite foods to pick just one, but my favorite Thai dish is green curry soup. I like to make my own curry paste for it which makes the finished dish taste phenomenal.
Hmmmm.... either peaches or cherries. Definitely.
And looking at the embroidery on some of those evening gowns makes me want to up my embroidery game. I'll... probably just stick to knitting. And damn it, now I'm going to end up in one of my 'trying to figure out where knitting/crocheting entered fashion' binges again...
You have a wonderful collection of Tamora Pierce!! Her Lioness quartet was my North star growing up. I very much give her credit and thanks for who i am today, because of those books.
I absolutely adore grapefruit and cherries. But I'm partial to a humble apple at times as well.
Litchi has always been a favourite of mine as well as lemons.
I love this video, and I will surelly watch it again.
This era is also known as the "Napoleonic Era", and in this part os Europe "The Peninsular War".
I love strawberries, and blueberries! This was very informative and helpful for me as I have not ventured into Regency yet but want to soon. Thank You
Most illuminating video, I have just begun making a Regency shift and this is just so helpful. Love me some mangoes!
As soon as I left here, I went and checked another favorite channel. Amazingly it is titled "1800’s life hacks! What were they thinking?!? " The channel name is Curiosity Incorporated. It is a recorded live feed that lasted over an hour.... no telling what else they will talk about. The topic centers around an 1800's cookbook. Alex is reading a newspaper clipping and the first tip is how to remove mud splatters from your clothes.... I expect this will be interesting... back to the video.
I have to say "greatly resembled undergarments" is exactly what I thought when I first saw the dresses and did not feel comfortable with the idea of adding that to my wardrobe, but I always wondered what the entire fashion trends were. Some of the more "covered" and less "risque" dresses seemed more like my style and quite pretty. Grapes (raw or fermented) mainly, but I am partial to the occasional canteloupe. Pineapples are amazing. They contain much vitamin C, manganese, fiber, and bromelain. Bromelain is useful for reducing pain and swelling of the nose, sinuses, and gums after surgery or injury and may even help with the treatment of burns (if applied topically), osteoarthritis, cancer, digestive problems, and muscle soreness. That last little bit came from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) which is part of the National Institutes of Health.
Thank you for this extremely interesting vlog about my favourite fashion era. Favourite fruits, peaches and raspberries and I love the outtakes at the end lol. “Stiffles”🤣🇬🇧
Stifflewaffles - delightful! I definitely love mangoes and strawberries, but there's nothing quite like a fresh peach when they're in season!
My favorite fruit is the apple, more specifically types that are tart and snappy.
Thank you for this lovely condensed overview of Regency fashion. The out of focus moments gave me a chance to admire your book collection.
Strawberries are my favorite fruit! Thank you for covering the differences in styles over the years during the Regency era!
I honestly eat so many apples that it's hard to keep them in the house!
Thank you for this great overview. I had always noticed that there seemed to be variation in the so-called "regency" styles, but had never taken the time to research the period in depth. I'm starting my historical costuming obsession with the late 1910s, but regency is next on my list after that. Can't wait to follow along with your regency adventures!
Very enjoyable talk. I was listening but my eye kept straying to your book shelves lol. Strawberries, peaches and watermelon 💖
I don't usually comment but I loved today's video. I've been fascinated by the fashion of this period since I was a child. Plus, for me happiness is a bowl of fresh strawberries.
My favorite fruit is lingonberry, but I'll have to try making a pineapple reticule. I'm allergic to them and a reticule seems like a perfect way to enjoy them. This video was so good. Thank you!
Oo I’m a sucker for pomegranates and star fruit, also most berries especially red currants!😋
I watched to the very end... twice! Favourite go-to breakfast is greek yogurt with blueberries and fancy pants granola with chocolate lumps in it. ;)
Oh this was such an interesting video. Those court dresses are indeed funny.
Favorite fruit are melons and peaches !
Berry fruits 😘
And my petticoat is definitely going to be ‘stiffled’ with ruffles! 😁
Great series - thank you so much. 🙏 You are a real sweetheart. 😊💝
Wonderful tour! Thanks so much.
The court gowns seem to be an awful mishmash of the high waistline over the bowl skirt! 🙄😲
That is so funny about losing the one pantalette leg! "My lace!"
🥝 My favourite fruits are mangoes, kiwi, raspberries and apples.🍎
I remember from Costuber reviews of the Bridgerton TV series that the characters wore French court dress when they appeared at court, which was much closer to "normal" Regency evening wear, but VERY different from Regency court dress at the English court.
A perfectly ripe apricot! Very interesting! Thank you!
I totally love Pumkin spice cake with a nice cup of tea. Stiffled rupples are my favorite petticoats
Blueberries!
Thank you for the great summary of regency fashion trends!
I really enjoy what is in season. Strawberries in season are probably my favorite though
Thank you! This helps me to decide what to make for my regency ball dress for this spring! Also, raspberries forever! 🤣
