Pockets “for maximum snack storage”. 😀 “Cursed concoction of ammonia and regret.” Your word choice is, as always, impeccable in its ability to produce a laugh. Closing shot against those beautiful gates, chef’s kiss!
“Cursed concoction of ammonia and regret” was such perfect sentence! Bernadette really has a gift for language
I wonder, are the gates st James park, or am I stabbing in the dark there 😂
lol
See, when this is the first comment of a video, that's a sure sign to be an excellent video.
@@abacaxipineapple9147 Close, but I believe they are the Green Park gates, near buck house
Can we all just take a moment to stop at appreciate what a good cinematographer Bernadette is? She’s so talented with all of the sewing stuff, but I think we forget that these videos are put together so beautifully, and that’s a whole separate skill that she also has. It’s amazing.
I know! I was just thinking that too!
I can't even believe that the ridiculously amazing quality of these videos are just... Available for free online now. It's here bc of the patreon and such, but i feel like this kinda thing would've *required* direct payment in the past to be able to cover the costs
I watch her channel for the videography and imagery. I hate sewing
Yes! I accepted a gothic movie drama to start in the beginning.
I loved the scene of her dressed in all black sewing on her white couch.
aesthetic game is strong with this one
10 longing stares into the distance out of 10
Here here!
Periot 😌
She is very gender
well, i guess i watched this thrice yesterday, and came back for more today, so...
Ok who cares about these 'statisfying slime tiktoks', can we all just agree that crisp scissor cutting is the most statisfying thing ever?
😍 *cronch*
I want one hour of scissor cutting through fabric ASMR
Indeed! 👍
There is someone who made “tailor roleplay” asmr with scissor cutting and amazing cinematography!
Watching her cut thread so easily made me want to sharpen every pair of scissors i, or my family, own
Pockets are a much-needed addition to modern clothes. My 2-year-old has already realised the travesty that is poor pocket storage and is not shy in telling me when I mess up and provide pocketless clothes for her! (Where is she expected to keep her cuddly toy bunny and her "phone" aka dead online banking card reader?)
I think I'll make her an apron with big pockets as a Christmas gift, so she always has bunny/phone/snack storage no matter the outfit she wears.
There were these roomy "vests" (for lack of a better term!) that women used to wear over their good clothes - they had big patch pockets, too. Think some may have called them 'housecoats' ?! Something like that might be good for her ?!
@@m.maclellan7147 that is worth looking at because they sound like they will be easy for her to put on herself. I think we call them tabards over here.
I think your 2-year-old has her priorites straight! 🐰 You could make her a big pocket, that can be worn around the waist.
this is adorable
Pinafores are the perfect accompaniment!
Also going to add, being back in London has made the Bernadette Banner Cinematic Universe somehow even more soul-stirring than it already was. These videos give me the same feeling of adventure that a good book does, and that is rare let me tell you.
Not that it was ever bad, but the *sound* of your videos and the way you use it to create an atmosphere (The raindrops! The crinkly paper!) these days is sublime.
You are too kind; it has definitely been bad in the past. 😅
Not to mention impeccable music choices. The “unspecified school of magic music” is just divine and now i wanna know what its is also the last shots showing her put it on and walk around in it is also just divine
I totally agree and just commented almost the same. This video was beautifully shot… new videographer or editor, perhaps?
@@bernadettebanner Your sound has never been bad as I see it. Bad is when you can not understand what is said or going on. Bad is when there is annoying sound like constant scratching on the mic that are louder then the voice. Even if your sound have not always been perfect, it has never been bad.
@@TheCatWitch63 - unless I’m mistaken, filmography is yet another of Bernadette’s multiple talents. This film is simply exquisite.
It’s the way she live the aesthetic so naturally without it feeling try hardish or cringy 😭
You truly have a very good "hand" when it comes to handwork. My mother trained as a seamstress for a time in the "old country". She taught me a lot! She had a beautiful "hand", too; but I was always anxious to hem a skirt I made. The hand stitches started neat, and with precision. By the time I finished, the stitches became basting stitches! She made me take them ALL out!! In Greek she said . . . "what are you going to do; hang ladles on it?" Thanks, Bernadette! 😊😊
Ah ha ha fellow Greek!
I need to take frequent breaks, to stay neat and accurate with my handsewing as well. Even though I do enjoy it and want to do it right. It's a simple task, but it does require a lot of focus - unless you do it often enough, for it to truly become 'muscle memory'. But who has time, to do so much sewing, right?
Kalimera :) I don't have the patience for handsewing, but I do think that it's a really good skill to have :)
😂
I'm so confused
Great parting shots.... You Really Blend in there quite well...
SHE'S NOT A COLOR PAINT YOU WEIRDO, SHE'S A HUMAN AND WE DON'T BLEND HUMAN OMG
@@DietPepsi-dh8kt gorl what?
... not to mention her brilliance to blend storytelling (the visuals, just can't look away!!!) with creating her garments ... a master for certain!!
@@DietPepsi-dh8kt seems like you’ve had too much diet Pepsi. Perhaps have a snack your not you when your hangry.
@@LaDivinaLover This is why it's so important to have pockets that provide "Maximum Snack Storage" (TM).
I missed “tailoring” in the title and thought this was going to be 20 minutes of aesthetic walking in the rain. And I was here for it!
misty afternoons and miss banner's sewing endeavours simply go hand in hand
I can't be the only one who nearly cried from hearing "post-plague".... What a time to be alive.😅
hold onto your papers!
Yeah.
Mid plague, maybe ? Eye of the cyclone plague?
**unspecified school of magic music**
friends, if you have not yet discovered the wonder that is the captions on bernadette’s videos, what are you even doing with your life? i know she doesn’t do them herself but they certainly fit her brand very well
I am not hearing impaired, but I have captions on all the time and love reading them ^_^
Antique sewing machine click clack was my favourite from this video.
What? Never thought of turning on captions. Have to re-watch!
"Auditorially pleasing steam noises" 🤣🤣 Thanks for tipping me off about this. They're great 👍
(inquistive violin music) is my new favourite kind of music.
As a connoisseur of fine captions I must thank you for your additions to my favorites list: “Music to lightly bop to,” and “Unspecified School of Magic Music.” Both gave me a hearty chuckle and left a smile upon my face.
Bernadette: Another lovely walking skirt!
Everyone: yaaaay
Also Bernadette: *runs in it*
Made my day, thank you :D
And to top it all, in slow motion. Cinematic perfection. 😌
i never seen anyone so bravely and confidently make buttonholes
"a brave buttonhole"
I’m distracted by those beautiful nails, they’re such a romantic color. I thought it was a deep black but when I saw them in the light they’re really a deep wine color? Stunning
Huh. I thought “home clothes”and “other than home clothes” was about preserving my other than home clothes from being coated in cat hair, and avoiding delicate materials which won’t withstand claws.
Having a cat myself
(Houdini) I can surely relate to that. You made me think of old fashioned garment bags! I don't think it wouldn't take too much time to draft a pattern and find some good material to make it from. I wonder if Victorians and Edwardians had garment bags?
Saaaaaaame, my "outside" clothes have 80% less cat hair on them than my "inside" clothes XD
We have an American Bulldog, can confirm. Anything worn around the house gets covered in ‘glitter’ aka tiny stabby white hairs that resist all dog-hair-removal tools. Everyone has ‘house’ clothes and ‘dog walking’ clothes and ‘normal’ clothes. 🤣
@@TrappedinSLC try masking tape. Always use the "name brand" - I like 'Scotch' brand - it does make a difference in masking tape. I use it similar to how one uses a lint roller and it is MUCH cheaper and lasts longer! If you want WIDE tape, check your hardware store in the paint section. Normally comes in 1/2, 1 and 2 inch sizes at my big box store.
@@m.maclellan7147 I’ll try that. His hairs are very short and coarse so they just stab into things. Like I’ve actually gotten a ‘splinter’ from a stray hair. Felt like I’d stepped on a needle.
I wonder how many hearts fluttered seeing you in the grounds of that rather fascinating church - and agree - the sounds of your videos are SO soothing
Because she looks like a Victorian ghost?
"unspecified school of magic music" "inquisitive music" i love the subtitles
I'm sorry but I was incredibly distracted by the nail polish color in this video: it suits you very well!!! The skirt looks gorgeous and durable, I shall look into this worsted wool fabric in the future (I wonder if it could be used for a 1890s frock coat, or if the texture is too rough). It was sometimes hard to tell how the stitches looked because of the white balance in the shots where it was mostly the fabric on screen, but it might also be my computer (and I'm sure black fabric and diaphanous white light don't like to work together). Nonetheless, this was a lovely and informative video and inspires me to find some free time to sew again.
Ah yes exposing for ghost hands and black fabric is a special sort of torture; if I ever decide to make a tutorial, I shall not be using black! 😅
The only thing I noticed about the dark nail color was that against black fabric it was difficult to see your fingertips holding a needle - if that makes sense. I enjoy watching your exquisite hand sewing and it was rather difficult to see your technique in detail at times.
@@bernadettebanner Please, please can you tell me the name of that nail polish? It's the perfect shade that embodies my dark academia fantasies.
@@unusualInferno This I can relate to!
yesss
“Victorian roguery of recent yore”
“Maximum snack storage”
Bernadette, you’re amazing, sis!
It says a lot about me that my first thought at seeing the huge Victorian pockets was "wow, you could fit a book into those".
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you by sharing something personal.
I'm not the kind of person whose into sewing or quilting, but my mom was. She made blankets years ago for kids who had none (part of a non-profit thing), and when she'd make those blankets, I'd curl up on the couch or somewhere nearby, drink some tea, and relax. That was when I was little, and without going into detail, something bad happened, and she and I don't talk to each other anymore.
Your content is warm. It is deliberate, diligent, and fascinating. I can sit with a cup of coffee or tea, snuggle with my cat, and watch/listen to it in the background and it's genuinely wonderful. Even a couple times, I feel like I can relax like I did years ago. It's funny how someone else's hobby has a crazy way of making you feel like you're at home.
Weird, I know. I still hope this made you smile, that your day is amazing, and whatever you're doing, I want you knowing that the world is better for it. Thank you for everything you do.
Tammerin S. I feel Bernadette's presence is a Balm for the Soul
@@grizeldaxxx4568 this is absolutely apparent lol
@@tammerins.3313 and just what the Dr ordered hahaa x ps thanks for sharing Your memory and Your vulnerability x I have buried a lot of my memories because of trauma ..including the good ones ...so I too find Bernadette is helping to shift my brain pathways for the better x
A few weeks ago I was sewing a stuffed mouse for my cat and my mom came by and was shocked to see I was ironing the hem. I just thought "well of course I have to iron it, I want it to look nice!"
She might think I'm crazy now 🤷
People are always surprised when I show them how big my Victorian pockets are in my more recent projects. I refuse to make another wardrobe project without pockets ever again thanks to learning better from you!
All of these fabulous additions to your wardrobe, I think we definitely need an updated wardrobe tour! I'd love to see which one of the more historical construction, or costume type pieces, you've kept for everyday use, along with the old wardrobe staples that are still hopefully trucking along! 😊 (Also, that Edwardian wrap cape is giving me EVERYTHING right now 😍)
This is style of walking skirt is definitely on my next project list. Beautiful job as always with both the sewing and video! ❤
That cape is awesome! she has a video on it and the pattern was free!
@@laurathornton8588 Yes!! The video where she partnered with American Duchess, love it! :)
That music! So hauntingly beautiful, with those witchy vibes. You’ve outdone yourself with that intro. I love how the train takes the skirt up to a whole other level, it looks so elegant, and the silhouette is just perfect. *chef’s kiss*
This got me in the mood for autumn like nothing else. It has turned me into a ghost. We are all Victorian witches now. Let the turnip carving begin.
Oh, watching you work and narrate it all is so relaxing! Plus, the sound of your sewing machine in action is so nostalgic. A gorgeous skirt for going about, too. And glorious pockets for snackage.
I love how you achieve so much gothic aesthetic within earshot of one of the busiest roads in central London!
It's official, I want a vampire movie starring Bernadette Banner and directed by Bernadette Banner. It will be a film of mystery, romance of the long forgotten past, and magical nostalgia as history is explored and lore uncovered. I will not accept anything of lesser quality.
(I edited to play with the wording a bit but the original point is the same)
Tremendous work! Beautiful cinematography, atmospheric music, fascinating storytelling, witty and informative script, perfect editing....and, almost incidentally, a lovely and useful garment. Sigh 😍!
This came at a very opportune time, as I needed a break from hunching over a desk for hours.
Wonderfully aesthetic video as always. I love the addition of new music. The wrap cape and skirt combo seems like a good substitute for that ultimate witchy vibe, until you inevitably make your own McGonnagall robe to twirl in and scold errant wizards
I forgot to say this on your last video...I have a treadle from the early 1920s and the small flywheel (the ribbed silver one inside the one that the belt turns) can be unscrewed so that the needle doesn't move when you're winding the bobbin. Helps save some wear on the machine 🙂
me, reading the title, in the tone you would use with a 5 year old who took the last cookie from the jar: Bernadette, did you sew another skirt...?
😂 lovely video as always, madam! 🥰 oh, and your nails are adorable! very October 🎃🖤
Bernadette makes me want to live a more productive life, she's so inspiring in her own, pure way, love you ❤️😭
Your videos always makes me feel so safe and out of the world. Between the music, the colors, the light and the slow hand stiches... it makes me want to start 3000 new projects while being cosy next to a fire with a tea and cookies. Thank you for your work!
That shot of you walking away in that field, while your skirt and cape flow in the wind, is my aesthetic. Speaking of aesthetic, I don't know how practical those nails are for you, but they are very aesthetically pleasing.
I actually think they help keep the fabric in line and are used like tools (just from watching these videos) ...not too long as to get in the way .
The way the skirt and capelet flow when you run, makes an ethereal effect that causes it to look like you are floating rather than running!
The curious twinkly music speaks to my soul! Definitely expected you to disappear into the ether at the end of that running away shot - off on more time travel adventures ✨
The automated CC called your background music "(inquistive violin music)" which is a description I kinda love. :)
I only just discovered Bernadette 1 week ago because of the hair experiment video. And I've nearly completely watched all the videos. Love it.
Same
Welcome both to the Bernadette appreciation society :)
Here in wet and windy Wales and I've just sorted out my fabric pile for my next bunch of projects. On the list for tomorrow actually dig out the patterns I need, redraft the bits that need adjusting and finish the dugaree assembly before I can move on to corset and petticoats.
having a really rough day at work, only to find one of Bernadette's calming video's is just the perfect turnaround for my Friday afternoon.
I’m headed to London in May for a browse through the fabric district! A dream come true for this 75 year old and it will be my first solo trip to Europe! So excited to get my hands on all those yummy materials!
The reveal twirl was my favourite moment of the many wonderful shots. I don't have a purpose for a black walking skirt, but if I do find myself in need of one one day, I'll know which TH-camr to go to. 🤗
The sound of the scissors pulled me back to my childhood, when i used to watch my auntie working, she was a taylor, like her mother before her and so on, back to 2 more generations. So many hours spent watching the art, and i can't even fix a sock, lol.
You appeared like a shade of a Victorian lady strolling through the church yard. I wonder if you gave someone a fright. You looked simply elegant.
Can I thank you for existing? When I made a crochet picket shawl commission, I wanted to line the hood. The best/easiest way was with hand stitching. After having watched nearly all of your videos, I felt confident in the process, and I am flabbergasted at how well it ended up. You are a wonder, inspiration, and a light in tbe dark times. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
i love reading the subtitles for the music description: “unspecified school of magic music”
Although human sized projects are too intimidating for me, I love to make historical inspired clothing for my 12 inch dolls!
Alas, I can only attach stray buttons and mend seams. I think this is why I love watching your channel. I have learned to make my seam repairs much neater, however, watching your hand sewing. Thank you Bernadette!
I love the way this particular pattern and material hang. It has a heaviness about it that is very elegant yet sturdy. The type of skirt you look elegant in but is comfortable and practical. Ah the things that are lost in our progressive age.
This cinematography is *chef's kiss* 🤌🏻
Every time I see these shots of you, dressed as you do, I wonder what kind of confusion it causes for the old souls who never 'crossed over' and still haunt the old places. Beautiful as always. 🧡🍂🎃
I feel like Bernadette hid an entire story about a sleeping vampire who wakes up and goes in search of her usual spots in the future. I need the rest of the story, with a sequel and a prequel tv show.. omg this video was so well made!!!
One of the more satisfying parts of this video is watching Bernadette working with those black nails, it just feel so powerful.
Rainy Days are for watching Bernadette Banner.
Which makes them somewhat like fair weather days.
I came to learn sewing and stayed for the the ASMR like qualities that is your voice and music choices, set with the soft thunking of your sewing machine.
I just went to the fabric shop today but now I have a strong desire to acquire some high quality tailor's chalk. Those clean lines are so satisfying
This video was so visually pleasing. I always love playing your videos in the background while I knit. Your dark nail color really popped with all the dark fabrics.
Appreciated the "French seams" commentary. I haven't used them myself, yet. To hear your work in progress thoughts, and to see the outcome (vs reading it somewhere) is the content I need. That you encase this education in your ambient mood confection cinematography makes it a joy to learn about sewing/hand sewing/historical fashion. Thank you! 👏
I am a beginner. I wanted to make my sister a satin pillowcase. My friend suggested french seams. I had to research them. They are wonderful and not difficult.
*ambient mood confection cinematography*: perfect! TH-cam should use it an official video category that one could browse and sample at will. Brilliant genre identifier!
Love that skirt! Plus the tip about the removal of the hem when worn out is awesome! Also the photographer who films you outdoors does such a nice job, love how he, she adds in little shots of this n that! Ok, now that I've completed your video, I am totally relaxed!😊
This is one of my absolute favorite videos of yours now, the reminiscences of sitting by the window on rainy days by fire embroidering and sewing with my grandmother….thank you for walking back into the past and bringing back beautiful memories.
If you're doing this alone I am immensely jealous of the patience to move the camera , the probably several takes and the specific shots
st Pancras churchyard is one of my favourite places in London
@Mistress Komakino, thank you for noting that location! 🌿🌷🌿 Much appreciated! 🌿🌷🌿
I lived in London long ago, but could not remember the name of that place. 🤔
Your note is helpful.
🙏🌿🌷🌿😊🌿🌷🌿🙏
Watching your craft always made with such love and care + all the aesthetically pleasing composition scenes... It's just so relaxing. I love your work. And I love your witty remarks while narrating.
Thank you the beauty you make and share with us. Everything - images, lighting, editing, and music are so gorgeous! I have a question. I've never understood how the dragging on the ground skirts and dresses thing works. How do you keep your walking skirt hem with train wearable? It cannot be laundered with the Tarleton can it? I, too, love how it looks.
Washing tarlatan isn't advisable as the sizing will dissolve and it won't be stiff anymore. If you want a skirt which can be thrown in the wash, I'd recommend lining with a heavy linen or cotton, which will still give it stiffness (although will also make the skirt much heavier). You can protect the hem with that wool hem braid and add an additional facing layer on the inside to protect the tarlatan layer if the inside will be touching the ground as well as the hem; that way this can be ripped out and replaced when it becomes too worn or dirty. Otherwise, I just embrace the dust. It can be shaken out and brushed clean enough, but I do have to be careful not to wear my trained skirts in the rain (or else pick up the hem when walking), and to avoid sticky things on the ground. When I get home, I change into a house skirt so that I'm not wearing the dusty train around the house. Black wool hides a lot of sins. :)
Bernadette, where do you buy your wool hem braid? Plymouth seems to be suffering a distinct dearth!
A lovely skirt, thank you. I've yet to make my first. Due solely to the loft ladder shearing away just as I stepped off it. I was lucky, it could have been very nasty. So, I'm now working out how to get the replacement into the loft safely! Maybe if I put that big piece of hardboard on the bed and top it with the big cutting mat ..........!
Will we be seeing His Lordship running about any time soon?
@@carolempluckrose4188 I use my bed for a cutting table it's better with the mat lol
The music in this video was so "adventurous successful " and "whimsical" that it just felt a little extra awesome today
Who splendid person has made the captions?! ”Music for subdued jamming” Absolutely fabulous! xD
Can I just say, I LOVE this video!! The aesthetic, the videography, the music editing are all outstanding, this is what top quality video production looks like
As a metric person, I swear I did not cry. I promise. You believe me, don't you?
The Victorian architecture. Suits you so well. The Gates at the end are everything! Xxx
What an awesome, atmospheric and cinematic opening. And good choice of music as well😁 Great video!
This video was an actual movie.
The skirt did have a speaking part what with all the sighs and whispers of the cloth.
You always give us romantics something to look forward to.
Keep doing you.
A visually stunning video, as always. My favourite bit is the moment right near the end, when your head and the gilded wrought-iron leaves on the fence align, just long enough to suggest the horns of a fey creature.
With such large pockets, you can also do something men's pockets sometimes get: a pocket inside the pocket. My old phone used to fit perfectly, leaving it free of the jumble at the bottom of the pocket. (Alas, now I have a larger phone that doesn't fit)
Oh gods, really!?
We really need a womens clothes revolution..
I think you deserve to star in period short film at this point, the visuals are so amazing
Love! ❤️ You're the reason I'm learning how to sew. My goal is to ultimately make my own walking skirt. Thank you for such amazing, informative, detailed, and relaxing videos.
Brilliant how you continued your video while reading the sponsor. I didn't want to fast forward through it like I do every other ad on YT.
I literally looked at her fancy lamp then looked at my fancy lamp and thought “mines better”. We love making good decorative choices for ourselves!
I love the sound the fabric makes when rolling it out...just ASMR loveliness!
Oh Bernadette, I enjoyed this wonderful video so much. The turning of the wheels on your Treadle and the lovely sound of the needle stitching. I love hand work too. I find it relaxing..looked like you do too. Love seeing you walking in the beauty of nature in your gorgeous comfortable flowing soft wool. Ahhhhh meeeee. Thank you, Sher Oh and I adore the color and shape of your perfect nails. So pretty.
Another walking skirt, yay! I want to try one in the future for a historically accurate Steris cosplay (from Mistborn Era 2) so these videos are a lot of fun
I love Steris so much! This is such a cool idea!
@@ivyscott6716 thanks. apparently several people like the idea
music to lightly bop to... I started bopping and the stress melted away right then! 😂😂
You stitching by candlelight looks somewhere between that Jean Jaques Henner portrait of Madame Paul Duchesne-Fournet and a gorgeously shot movie. Just saying. I too wish to be glamorous while doing tedious work! *Off to light candles to hand stitch by*
I could honestly watch this for days
well maybe not, i would definatly drift off ta sleep could Bernadettes voice is that soothing
Such a lovely little movie. Just love how you set the mood!
Can I just say...your attention to detail when transcribing the captions is lovely. They make me smile and even though I wear headphones to watch you, I still turn them on ;)
the editing/shots in this video is amazing! when you walked up to that gate it looked like either the start or end of a movie (something about time travel?)
Words cannot describe the feeling I got when this video started. The sounds…the music…the scenery….everything….
I mended a dress earlier this week and I just bought my first embroidery ring today after watching you create beautiful things by hand for so long! I'm excited to start trying (and probably making a few fails on the way) and thanks for making videos that drew me in long enough to start trying more hand sewing myself. (I'm currently loosing weight so I don't feel like there's much point making clothes until I know what size I'll be ending up- but I've already been eyeing up patterns and I *might* have splurged on some really beautiful fabric that's got me excited to start!)
I find the way you present your videos so beautiful and relaxing :) (but I also love the more fast paced informative ones too- I think my most favourite Bernadette Banner video is whichever one I've watched most recently because I love them all 😂)
Nah, part of the psychological process should be that you deserve nice things to be wear whatever your size. So, why not start making things in say, less luxurious fabrics so that you: 1) feed your imagination in using simple patterns and shapes that are easily modified later, like B's Pirate Blouse - a deliciously feminine blouse, that is forgiving on the wearer and the maker because it works well in lightweight polycottons as well as in more expensive lightweight cotton lawns and linen, but is easy to draft, make and remake if needed and 2) hone your skills over time. If you do that, you can reward yourself periodically with something new and unusual to wear. It's what our ancestors did: for example, having a child meant having to adapt existing clothing rather than buying new clothes for most people than the very wealthy. And you don't have to jump in straight away with the highly engineered and complex patterns. You could make a Dickie for instance, to jazz up a simple blouse under a jacket; a simple, but stylish walking Cape for the cooler months; a Victorian Pinafore, Apron, Tabard, Tunic or Housecoat to wear in the house. Or make accessories... In other words, start sewing ASAP, and just keep going. Don't wait until you are "perfect" to begin. You are already perfect in that you are you. You are a work in progress and you deserve to celebrate all your victories, all your milestones along your journey. All you really have is now. Enjoy it, and remember that if need, be you can visit other eras than the late 19th/early 20th century for fashion that is beautiful and feminine, but more forgiving of "imperfection". The era of Bridgerton combined exquisite fabrics with shapes that could hide a multitude of sins. The Empire Line dress, for example takes all attention from the waist and hips, and emphasises the Bust and Shoulders. And no stays. Lol. Think Audrey Hepburn in the Ball scene in My Fair Lady, wearing that drop dead gorgeous gown that called back to the Bridgerton era, but had Edwardian touches that made her look like an empress. Even without the budget of a Hollywood studio, you can have fun. That's pretty precious right now.
Bernadette, I don't watch your videos in order, so I'm not sure when you said this, but I remember you talking about taking an online class to learn more about film-making-type things. I've loved pretty much all of your videos, but I have to say I can see the way you are using that skill lately and it's LOVELY!
I just love the sound of fabric shears cutting through fabric!
The filming quality is insanely good!
sometimes i think i take for granted how bloomin TALENTED YOU ARE!!!!
Absolutely perfect timing, as it's positively pissing down today where I am!
That running shot in between the trees and the gate shot is literally Hollywood film qualityyyy
