People need to remember that the average women would have been getting dressed like this all their lives! Like most modern women have their makeup routine down to an art form. Dab this, highlight that. Smear this, brush there...we don't think about it anymore. The same applies to getting dressed. If you've always done it, it isn't hard for you.
i do love my simple shirt and jeans but danggg, sometimes i wish i could wear something like this normally...i'd be twirling around the dress nonstop haha
me: it's past midnight, i have tutoring tomorrow. the year is 2019, i'm not going to need to know how long it takes to get dressed in victorian engla- my brain: but what if your whole life has been a dream? what if you wake up tomorrow and find yourself in 1800s england? what if you're the first victim of a sleep-time-travelling hybrid phenomenon? you'll have to adapt. you can't take that risk. watch the goddamn video. me: yes chef thank you chef
To everyone that says "i wish i could dress this way" do it. Nothing is telling you that you absolutely can't. Yes you may get weird looks but I think a video I watched on Lolita fashion said it best. They dress the way that makes THEMSELVES happy. All these people part of alt cultures like goth, punk, lolita, rockabilly, that you may even give weird looks are doing it because they like it and they've mastered the art of idgaf what people think about my style.

@@thebananaowenslippedon7095 then go to the police? Household bullying is a form of domestic abuse, be that mental or physical. Alternatively, talk to your youth counselor or have a private talk with your parents. Be direct and firm and tell them how their inaction when your brother bullies you hurts you. If you can't do that, write it down and hand it to them. Important: document EVERYTHING your brother does to you, with dates and times. Alternatively, go buy the clothes you like and ask a friend to keep them for you. If you want to dress up, go there, get changed and then you can go out. Or have the change be gradual. Incorporate elements of the styles you like into your "normal" clothes, like accessories or bags or shoes and gradually switch out your wardrobe. And if he still gives you shit, ask him to explain why. I'm not really into egirl coulture but heavily into lolita fashion and goth, had an emo phase and my brother mocked me for that too until I asked him why and just because he doesn't like doesn't give him the right to police what you do with your apoearence. If it makes you happy and doesn't harm anyone, do it and fuck anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. If all of the above doesn't work, I have some news that you might not like. Wait. Wait until either your brother or you move out. Wait until you can be absolutely sure he won't bother you anymore. It alao helps to wait until you guys are older and more mature because kids. Fucking. Suck.
awesome video! i love how you jumped and such to straighten out the skirt, it reminded me that our predecessors aren't as stiff as they were in photos :)
Speaking of, did you know that there are photos of, e.g. couples that broke down laughing because they couldn't hold the serious mask they were expected to hold for the photo? A photograph, because it was expensive and because of the culture at the time, was seen as Serious Business and people were expected to hold "dignified" expressions for this reason.
@@Sigart i thought part of the reason they had straight faces is because early cameras took minutes to take the photo and it was hard to hold a smile for that long.
@@LiveManga37 They didn't take that long. They did take longer than the fraction of a second modern cameras took, but compare it to paintings of earlier times; no one smiled for those either, even if it would have been just as easy to paint a smile as not.
@@LiveManga37 that's correct. Long exposure, so long time to hold an expression to get a clear image - which one wanted, given the expense. Easier when not a smile, which can waver, or turn into grimace ruining image.
Now that I think about it, a lot of times people still wear a lot of layers of clothes they're just not as big looking. Like a lady will wear a bra, undershirt, shirt, and sweater the materials are just a lot thinner and lay thinner.
Uh... Not really sure what you are talking about. I wear a sports bra when working out but other than that I do not want brass I've never with an undershirt, and unless it is cold I don't wear sweaters.
@@julyajohnson4787 this person is obviously talking about cooler months. but our fabrics today are about 4x thicker than their fabrics were. depending on the fabric ofcourse. wools and linens could get thick. but their cottons and silks were so thin they were damn near see through. back then they could control how thick the fabrics were as they made them by hand. so they made certain fabrics for certain seasons. we still can now, just most companies don't bother with all that. just get the cheapest most efficient fabric they can. they obviously weren't talking about summer when everyone walks around trying to wear as little as possible since about 80% of the earths clothes are now made of plastic. ahem, polyester, rayon, spandex etc.
I absolutely adore how educational and straight-to-the-point your videos are! If I might make a suggestion, then please film horizontally! But even if you don't, this is amazing, and I'm for sure checking your channel out!
Petronella Wessman I was thinking that but I figured she probably films vertically because it's much easy to get her whole body and she can fit her commentary on the side without it blocking any part of the actual video process
Jule Caesara The crinolines help a lot by holding the dresses away from the body and allowing air underneath so ladies didn't overheat so much ... Also this fashion would have been popular in more temperate European countries and northern American states. The style was not designed with places like Texas in mind!
you might find this to be unrelated, but where i come from (India) we had a whole different thing going on... SAREES... If you make me wear a saree it'll take e half an hour and at least 5 youtube videos to help me manage that. But my grandmother, or even my mother would take nothing more than 2 minutes. of course, sarees had lesser complexity involved, given the lack of industrialization and climatic conditions in India.
I wear sarees quite often, especially on Sunday programs that we have in the temple or other festivals...or sometimes just like that for no particular reason, because i like them :)
I am addicted to victorian era EVERYTHING! (Ok, so maybe not the opium or other drugs, lol! btw, I'm now subscribed.) Watching this made me think one thing..... "Can I come play dress-up at your house?" LMAO - I'm in my 30s! HAHAAH!
Since childhood I loved anything Victorian, even before I knew what this word meant. I even dreamed of being a little kid in Victorian wide skirt dress with puffy sleeves. Maybe it's a memory of a past life. Today I choose to wear similar to Victorian or Edwardian looking blouses, I admit, pants are in my wardrobe. Latest trends showcase the bishop sleeve, leg o' mutton sleeve, puffy sleeve or sleeves with ruffles coming back so it's a good time to up(down?)date the clothing.
Dear Tara, You might try to barter with an older more experienced seamstress. Such as by being a mother's helper, you basically play with her little ones while she does other things around the house, you keep her tiny tot's amused and in return she sews for you. Or you could help with cleaning or gardening in trade for someones skills. You might also see if someone teaches sewing in your community and could help you learn more. In the US 4H clubs and Girl Scouts also known as Girl Guides have some sewing programs. Ask if there are books in your local library, there are also sewing clubs and guilds and needlework groups that might be able to help you learn. There are some more modern patterns you might like the style of such as those by Gunne Sax and some by Laura Ashley that might be right up your alley and since they only from the 1970's and 80's they shouldn't be that much. Best of luck. Mrs. K.
Jade Cook she was stating her opinion whether you agree with her or not maybe thats how she sees things....Why does it matter to you why she said that? She didn't call anyone out
Jamie Davis Yea and I gave my opinion too and rather or not u agree with it, it's how I see things also. I'm just as in titled to my opinion just as she is so your wording back fired. I didn't say she was calling anybody out, u did. But I seriously wonder why people care about who people fuck with and how often. And why people have to through out labels to people who aren't restricted by social contructs
Personally, I prefer the Crinoline cage more than the other late Victorian style. But that's just me. I think these dresses and Beautiful and I seriously want one.
Beautiful demonstration and such a lovely look! I well remember watching, in amazement, my Great-Grandmother lace-up every morning of her life (always, however, assisted by a maid, and her corsets were more of a Belle Epoque style of her youth) and she died at a ripe old age of 101. So much for the myth of them being a health hazard! Of course, overdoing anything, even fitness, will have adverse effects on ones health, but women did not generally die killed by their undergarments!
If I remember correctly, most of the deaths related to clothing had more to do with getting caught in carriage wheels, falling into water, standing too close to fires, tightening the corset too tightly, and of course, the dyes for fabrics.
Very interesting. But, now, what did women do when they were pregnant? Did they dispense with the corset? Is that the reason they called it "their time of confinement?" I mean, considering how often most women were pregnant I should think this had a significant impact on dressing.
Also, what was the appeal of the hoop skirt and the bustle? WHY were they popular? I mean, they look pretty but... was there a logic behind either of them? For instance, for the hoop, did that serve to keep street mud away from the body or something?
I think they still wore a corset when they were pregnant. I'm not an expert but believe the corset, hoop skirt and bustle are just a fashion thing. Like we wear bra's and high heels.
Women still wore corsets while being pregnant. If they had the money, they could buy special maternity corsets, which had ties around the stomach area, that could be loosened for the expanding belly - there also was a nursing version. Pictures of both can be found on Pintrest. If you did not have the money, you would have to make do with a second hand corset anyway and ended up loosening the lower bit of the corset, to make room for the baby. Which must have been rather uncomfortable. There where no specialised maternity clothes till quite late in the 1800, most of the time women would wear their regular clothing during the whole pregnancy, which where constructed in a way, that they could let them out, meaning, that they could open the seams of the bodice and skirt to re-stich them to fit their altering shape. Pictures of pregnant women from the 1800 can also be found on Pintrest. Also there was a very practical version of a dress worn over a hooped skirt, which did not have a fitted waist, but fell down to the floor in folds. When the woman was not pregnant, it was tied together with a belt, if they where, it was left to hang loose. Wearing no corset during the Victorian period was deemed unacceptable. Women who did not do so, where considered lewd women and a disgrace to society. There where several attempts to get rid of corsets, but only around WWI that was achieved, as women needed to fill in for the men, work wise. As today, most women tried to go with the fashion and even poor women could either afford a hoop/bustle or make one (out of wicker for example). I have seen pictures of factory workers and house maids wearing hoops, but I have to say, I cannot imagine a farm woman wearing one aside from perhaps to church on a Sunday.
The hoop skirt and bustle had a logic behind them, but it's probably not the kind of logic that would come to your mind right away. I think that to understand the appeal, you need to think about the historical context and the perception of women at that time. In the Victorian era, men were the ones that had all the power and wealth, and women were perceived as the symbol of the men’s power. Of course not in the sense that the more women you had, the more powerful you were :D. But your wife’s clothes were essentially a way for you to show off that you could afford expensive clothing, that you had the money to buy her dresses made out of the best fabrics and adorned the most exquisite jewelry. Now with that in mind, we can start talking about the hoop skirt. Wide skirts were popular for many centuries because they showed you could afford to buy these yards of fabric to make one. And most importantly- it showed you could afford to buy all these petticoats to give the skirt such shape. Before the hoop skirt was invented women had to wear about 7 or 8, maybe more, starched flannel (or horse hair) petticoats to get the fashionable silhouette. You can imagine that is a lot of weight and heat. But regardless of how uncomfortable that might have, a men would still want his wife to wear as many petticoats as he could afford, at least in public, because it gave him a higher status. However the hoopskirt created the fashionable silhouette, was much lighter and significantly cheaper. Now I am sure you can imagine that when you have a very difficultly achievable ideal and then someone invents something that makes that ideal way more achievable and way more practical much more cheaply, people will buy it and it will become popular very quickly. And that is why hoopskirts became such a trend, because it made something that has previously shown everyone you were a powerful person accessible to people of pretty much all classes. This turned out to be ridiculously long, so if you’ve read through this whole thing, let me know if you want to hear about bustles :D PS: I chose to refer to you as a man, so that you can see it through the perspective of a man since they basically had all the power at that time and could dictate what their wife (or possibly daughter) wore. I don’t know your actual gender, so just in case it offended you I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. Also I’m not a native English speaker, so sorry if the grammar is weird :)
I love the fashion of old england. Wouldn't it be awesome if people still dressed like that today? Ive been wondering this since i was a child watching princesses in movies 😄
You would have to change our societies first, because this goes against todays "everyone for him/herself" ultra-competitive and rushed mindset. Oh and I doubt you could drive a car in such a dress ... so you need a taxi or public transport.
had to laugh.. just recently drove in my dress and hoops. slightly awkward but totally doable. now, myself i cant drive easily in corset but i know those who do..
Victorian and Edwardian fashion is so much more modest and good looking, today when I look outside it basically looks like most people r dressed yet naked coz of le skimpy and tight stuff. No hate, it's their choice anyway. Dang I wanna rock some Edwardian stuff.. But sadly I don't think I would be able too... I haven't even learnt how to sew cause I never seem to get an oppurtunity ;-;
Fascinating. Thanks so much for the information. I laughed out loud - I was just thinking, "that's a lot of tiny effing buttons" when "poof" my thought appeared in your caption.
I'm only 12 and everyone is so rude to me but don't mind that I wish that we dressed like that the dresses are so beautiful I don't really care how long it that's I just wish I everyone could dress like that again
Consider the sourse. If they're rude, they are not on a level to be listened to... which means, people without common decency are not worthy of you. Smile, nod and walk away.
I thought I was wierd but dang.. Victorian and Edwardian fashion is so much better looking and modest..if everyone dressed like dat I would have fifty trillion rooms fool of Edwardian/Victorian fashion!
I've been reading about victorian fashion since I was a little girl but this is the first time I've seen that myth debunked in "real time" as it were. Thank you so much!
I imagine. It is still what is more time consuming this days. That and any make up. It can take hours and hours, sometimes depending of what your goal is you may need to do something to your hair during a long period of time. I would LOVE to have my hair done by a professional all the days of my life, wearing it nicely and lovely every day, put on some wigs, etc :)
You are so adorable. Your clothes sure are amazing and all... but your face and your traild as a whole, are so mesmerazing... With all due respect, you are stuning and your working is fantastic. Thanks for this video.
You could literally just lift up the skirt and pull down your drawers. I heard somewhere that very rich people even had a split in their underpants so they wouldn't need to get undressed in the least, though I'm not sure about this one and I'm too lazy to double-check right now.
@@Sigart EVERYONE had slit drawers back then, rich or poor. My late great-grandmother told me ladies used chamberpots that resembled gravy boats for relieving themselves in those huge layers of skirts. They even had maids sneak these to them during church service when needed, because the pastor was rather wordy. Puts antique "gravy boats" at your friendly neighborhood Hyacinth Bucket's house into a new perspective. lol
That corset would do wonders for my back and I wouldn't have to wear a bra; straps dig into my shoulders. And I hate underwire! We need to go back to tunics and leggings.
That means you wear the straps too tight or even wrong size bra! For every two inches difference between your bust and underbust circumstances it's one cup (up to 2 inches - A, up to 4 - B, up to 6 - C, etc). The belt size is one size smaller than the one your underbust circumstance supposes, for example if your measures are 34inch (75cm) and 38inch (85cm) you'd buy 32(70)B. Your should be able to freely run two fingers between the strap and your shoulder.
you can always talk to a doctor about buying a corset or something to help your back. (i know this is 2 years ago) ive heard people using them for back issues!
@@raynatumbeva780 this is not right. if you measure 34 inch under bust, you were a size 34 band. if your bust measures 38 inches, you wear a 34D. I don't know where you got this idea, but it is not true. Back in the olden days they added 4 inches to your underbust measures to get your band size, nowadays you just use your under bust measurement as your band measurement because there is 90% elastic in the bra band nowadays and none in the olden days. It is 1 cup per inch of difference from underbust measurement. A person who wears a 32B should have these measurements: 32 inch under bust, 34 inch bust. A poor women with a 34 inch under bust and 38 inch bust couldn't fit into a 32B if she tried. Her boobs would be spilling out everywhere and she likely wouldn't even be able to close it.
I actually just bought a corset. I absolutely love how much better my back feels in it. After a bit of a reminder to move with better posture, I find it very comfortable - even though I detest wearing a bra and avoid them like the plague. The corset, however, is surprisingly comfortable. Moderately laced, of course.
WOW! Just wow!!! I feel that my generation spends more time trying to find ways to wear less and less clothes these days yet in 10 minutes you are able to completely look mesmerizing. The elegance that this style of dressing is one that I truly wish would come back in my lifetime. Excellent video and excellent dresses!
I absolutely love the Victorian era and it is a certain obsession of mine. I love studying it, reading historical fiction novels set in the period, reading literature from the period, listening to Victorian-esque music, and just researching it! I am actually in the process of writing a historical, psychological novel myself, but with my current studies at University, it's slow-going. In any case, I find the videos truly wonderful and you've gained a subscriber! Thank you! I look forward to seeing more and more content!
Loved this. I've always had an ides of what went into a full outfit back then, but seeing the different layers and how they all fit together was fascinating to watch. When you hopped to get the skirt adjusted was funny, it made me chuckle, but I can see it was necessary and a common practice. Like dancing into a freshly laundered pair of jeans. Got yourself a subscriber!
I've watched several of your videos--the dresses are so beautiful and the material is exquisite. One of the reasons I enjoy watching old movies is seeing how the ladies used to dress! I wish style would come back!
Very educational video. Your dresses are always so stunning, but I'm so very glad we don't have to do this anymore. The videos make you sit back and think how far we've come in the realm of fashion design. A tremendous round of applause for you!!👏👏
The second dress is the style Laura Ingalls (Wilder) would have worn in her mid-late teens. Some of the illustrations in the Little House books show this silhouette, it's very elegant.
In the sweet 16 episode that Laura starts teaching she is wearing a bustle hoop skirt. It's not too wide/poofy nor straight tight. I think bec her figure what so youthful looking she picked a dress with a bit of poof in the back to add to her figure to look more grown up.
It would take me longer to dress. Because I'm plump, busty, and have a screwed up back I would need help the the corset because the front busk keeps popping open as I try to pull the lacing. I have better luck with a solid front or side lace but... And the higher in status you are the more elaborate and confining the clothing. Did you know during late Tudor and Elizabethan times noble and royal women had to be _pinned_ into their clothing? Ugh, the very thought.
pins were very popular for use on clothing for centuries - in medieval, Tudor, Georgian - only diminishing with use in the 19thcentury etc. and not only my higher class, the were used all across the social spectrum. they are actually quite handy - just like everything you get used to things. i resent velcro more...;-)
+priorattire I have been watching your videos for awhile and would love to know when did you find your love for knowledge of the victorian world began? and Where oh where do you but your clothes!
as stated in the clothing - i make them? I am a historical costumier, and have been for the last 20 years, and it is not only about victorian - we do everything from late romans to Edwardians. you will find more info on my website - all info on the credits!
This was an amazing idea for a TH-cam channel. I've always wondered how these types of dresses worked. Thank you for taking the time to share all this information with us!
So the first dress...4 or 5 layers of clothes? How many layers on the 2nd dress...I think 5 or 6? Yeah. not for me. I'm glad to learn about these things though. Thanks for posting these videos.
I’ve only just come across you, now I can’t get enough. You are so entertaining, as well as explaining very well. And of course the clothes are beautiful and debunked my thoughts that the dress was one piece.
Thank you for doing all of this as well as naming each item along the way! Very informative as well as entertaining to those of us who really appreciate this beautiful dress. :)
Just found your channel and have been watching my way through all of your videos. I think, even though I might prefer the look of other eras, this video and others of the same time period are my favorites, solely because it makes me smile every time you do the little hop to get everything to settle itself properly over the cages or bustles. I don't know why, but it just cheers me.
Apparently nowadays people will apply make-up for as long as 40 minutes, so they shouldn't be complaining :) I enjoyed the video very much, keep debunking!
The details on that corset cover (the one with the many effin tiny buttons :D) are so pretty and dainty. I love the dresses too. We never had anything like this during our history since my country has always been of poor people and those who were rich enough usually spent more time in Europe than over here, and when they did come visit, it would usually only be the merchant gentleman, the lady of the house never traveled with her husband. It would have been interesting to know how they would have dealt with the heat over here, we're usually between 30°C and 36-40 °C, and that's on a good day.
That you for uploading these videos (especially the one about going to the loo, I had always wondered). You have managed to be both entertaining and informative. Also, I just love the little hops you do to settle your skirts and petticoats!. I now have a vision of a stately victorian countesses hopping up and down.
The 1883 Day Dress is what I imagine is described in the chapter, "The Brown Poplin," in 'These Happy Golden Years,' by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think her brown poplin was made the same year, when she was 16. One of the things mentioned is her adjustable bustle, with wide tapes that can be buckled in back under the bustle, to make it more poofy, or buckled in front, to draw the bustle down to a less poofy silhouette, which Laura preferred. Lovely video!
I think one thing people often forget when making statements like this, is that the people used to do it daily. Just like modern folks, everyone had to get dressed, so they would be completely used to putting these things on and off every single day, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, where you changed clothes depending on the time of day (morning, afternoon and eveningwear) if you were of the right status. As a historical costumier, you are doing the same sort of thing, so you can dress as quickly as the people from the period would have been able to.
At my school when we learned about Victorian England we got to do activities and got to dress up to school a lot of girls just wore long skirts and boys wore coats and if you didn't dress you could participate but for me I got to renaissance festivals and fairs so rocked it with me dress hoops and bonnet I put everyone else to shame I wish I could do it again.I wish we still dress like this :(
Given how much time women devote to hair and makeup these days, and that women (respectable ones anyway) in those days didn't wear makeup and hair was really only elaborate for formal occasions, I'd say this is pretty quick compared to today!
Cool thanks, but that would have required the effort of stopping the video... and I was kind of in la La Land from the music and the beautiful outfit! 😊
I would love to walk through your closet! All these beautiful clothes!! I can barely manage to make sure my socks match, let alone get dressed as fast as you do with all those layers. Lol!
Edward Smith why is that cancer. It's called cool, practical, and comfortable clothing of which we are privileged enough to have the ability to wear that as women. Sorry not everyone is an elegant hipster wannabe(in your case).
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but is this American Victorian or British Victorian dress? I'm guessing British, but how much difference was there? And was there a difference in the American West, which was still pretty primitive?
there are always differences and not only across the countries but across the regions too. having said som the plain style shown for the crioline was popular across the West world ( though sometimes still worn with just petticoats and without the cage), so a pretty standard combo of a skirt and plain bodice. the later ensemble is based on a fashion print from Harpers Bazar, 1883 - and considering the fast that the fashion magazines were wildly available in both countries, it may be safey assumed that the outfit could be made in either country. again, the basic elements are the same - skirt, bodice and overkirt, it woud be the embellisment, fabric choice et that would be more specific to what women in different countries had available

To everyone that says "i wish i could dress this way" do it. Nothing is telling you that you absolutely can't. Yes you may get weird looks but I think a video I watched on Lolita fashion said it best. They dress the way that makes THEMSELVES happy. All these people part of alt cultures like goth, punk, lolita, rockabilly, that you may even give weird looks are doing it because they like it and they've mastered the art of idgaf what people think about my style.
What if if you do finally dress like this, your brother will use it as another way to relentlessly bully you?

Alternatively, go buy the clothes you like and ask a friend to keep them for you. If you want to dress up, go there, get changed and then you can go out. Or have the change be gradual.

@@LiveManga37 They didn't take that long. They did take longer than the fraction of a second modern cameras took, but compare it to paintings of earlier times; no one smiled for those either, even if it would have been just as easy to paint a smile as not.
@@LiveManga37 that's correct. Long exposure, so long time to hold an expression to get a clear image - which one wanted, given the expense. Easier when not a smile, which can waver, or turn into grimace ruining image.
Now that I think about it, a lot of times people still wear a lot of layers of clothes they're just not as big looking. Like a lady will wear a bra, undershirt, shirt, and sweater the materials are just a lot thinner and lay thinner.
A lot of girls don't wear undershirts. If it's warmer most won't wear sweaters unless it's extremely thin.
Uh... Not really sure what you are talking about. I wear a sports bra when working out but other than that I do not want brass I've never with an undershirt, and unless it is cold I don't wear sweaters.
@@silg7262 i think this person may be a dude. I'm as lady like as it gets and I don't wear that much.
@@julyajohnson4787 this person is obviously talking about cooler months. but our fabrics today are about 4x thicker than their fabrics were. depending on the fabric ofcourse. wools and linens could get thick. but their cottons and silks were so thin they were damn near see through. back then they could control how thick the fabrics were as they made them by hand. so they made certain fabrics for certain seasons. we still can now, just most companies don't bother with all that. just get the cheapest most efficient fabric they can.
they obviously weren't talking about summer when everyone walks around trying to wear as little as possible since about 80% of the earths clothes are now made of plastic. ahem, polyester, rayon, spandex etc.
What's an undershirt?
I absolutely adore how educational and straight-to-the-point your videos are! If I might make a suggestion, then please film horizontally! But even if you don't, this is amazing, and I'm for sure checking your channel out!
Petronella Wessman I was thinking that but I figured she probably films vertically because it's much easy to get her whole body and she can fit her commentary on the side without it blocking any part of the actual video process
now there's only one remaining question. how did they not sweat to death? was there some kind of summer fashion?
I found the video you made about it... shame on me.
Ah, so, that is the secret, they hopped up and down to get dressed. Do women still have to do that in modern clothing?
vanessae e That's me putting on skinny jeans. Then my husband walks in and I'm all, "Don't look at me!" Lol.

The crinolines help a lot by holding the dresses away from the body and allowing air underneath so ladies didn't overheat so much ... Also this fashion would have been popular in more temperate European countries and northern American states. The style was not designed with places like Texas in mind!
Charles Cox sometimes you have to do the leg wriggle too!!
you might find this to be unrelated, but where i come from (India) we had a whole different thing going on... SAREES... If you make me wear a saree it'll take e half an hour and at least 5 youtube videos to help me manage that. But my grandmother, or even my mother would take nothing more than 2 minutes. of course, sarees had lesser complexity involved, given the lack of industrialization and climatic conditions in India.
I'm Someone My aunt still wears her sarees and they're gorgeous
I have a saree, but I'm still very fuzzy on how to put it on properly.
I wear sarees quite often, especially on Sunday programs that we have in the temple or other festivals...or sometimes just like that for no particular reason, because i like them :)

I am addicted to victorian era EVERYTHING! (Ok, so maybe not the opium or other drugs, lol! btw, I'm now subscribed.) Watching this made me think one thing..... "Can I come play dress-up at your house?" LMAO - I'm in my 30s! HAHAAH!
Atraductora omg samee!!
Since childhood I loved anything Victorian, even before I knew what this word meant. I even dreamed of being a little kid in Victorian wide skirt dress with puffy sleeves. Maybe it's a memory of a past life. Today I choose to wear similar to Victorian or Edwardian looking blouses, I admit, pants are in my wardrobe. Latest trends showcase the bishop sleeve, leg o' mutton sleeve, puffy sleeve or sleeves with ruffles coming back so it's a good time to up(down?)date the clothing.
Atraductora same
Tara N Keep up the self expression of your style!! Good job making your own clothing! That talent will serve you in good stead in years to come!
Dear Tara, You might try to barter with an older more experienced seamstress. Such as by being a mother's helper, you basically play with her little ones while she does other things around the house, you keep her tiny tot's amused and in return she sews for you. Or you could help with cleaning or gardening in trade for someones skills. You might also see if someone teaches sewing in your community and could help you learn more. In the US 4H clubs and Girl Scouts also known as Girl Guides have some sewing programs. Ask if there are books in your local library, there are also sewing clubs and guilds and needlework groups that might be able to help you learn. There are some more modern patterns you might like the style of such as those by Gunne Sax and some by Laura Ashley that might be right up your alley and since they only from the 1970's and 80's they shouldn't be that much. Best of luck. Mrs. K.
I honestly wish we still dressed like this
IKR!!! She is very lucky to do the job she does!!
+Amie Owens Why does it matter to you how women have sex or expose their bodys?
Jade Cook she was stating her opinion whether you agree with her or not maybe thats how she sees things....Why does it matter to you why she said that? She didn't call anyone out
Jamie Davis Yea and I gave my opinion too and rather or not u agree with it, it's how I see things also. I'm just as in titled to my opinion just as she is so your wording back fired. I didn't say she was calling anybody out, u did. But I seriously wonder why people care about who people fuck with and how often. And why people have to through out labels to people who aren't restricted by social contructs
+Jade Cook I was not calling anyone out.....I was just wondering......like you....
Personally, I prefer the Crinoline cage more than the other late Victorian style. But that's just me. I think these dresses and Beautiful and I seriously want one.
I do too because I really like the big skirts.
Same
Ditto!!!!!! I want one and a dress to go with it so bad!!!
This is exactly the same as me!
From now on, I'm referring to that as The Victorian Hop. Practical AND adorable. :)
Beautiful demonstration and such a lovely look! I well remember watching, in amazement, my Great-Grandmother lace-up every morning of her life (always, however, assisted by a maid, and her corsets were more of a Belle Epoque style of her youth) and she died at a ripe old age of 101. So much for the myth of them being a health hazard! Of course, overdoing anything, even fitness, will have adverse effects on ones health, but women did not generally die killed by their undergarments!
I cracked up reading "killed by their undergarments" lol
If I remember correctly, most of the deaths related to clothing had more to do with getting caught in carriage wheels, falling into water, standing too close to fires, tightening the corset too tightly, and of course, the dyes for fabrics.

Very interesting. But, now, what did women do when they were pregnant? Did they dispense with the corset? Is that the reason they called it "their time of confinement?" I mean, considering how often most women were pregnant I should think this had a significant impact on dressing.
Also, what was the appeal of the hoop skirt and the bustle? WHY were they popular? I mean, they look pretty but... was there a logic behind either of them? For instance, for the hoop, did that serve to keep street mud away from the body or something?
I think they still wore a corset when they were pregnant. I'm not an expert but believe the corset, hoop skirt and bustle are just a fashion thing. Like we wear bra's and high heels.
Women still wore corsets while being pregnant. If they had the money, they could buy special maternity corsets, which had ties around the stomach area, that could be loosened for the expanding belly - there also was a nursing version. Pictures of both can be found on Pintrest. If you did not have the money, you would have to make do with a second hand corset anyway and ended up loosening the lower bit of the corset, to make room for the baby. Which must have been rather uncomfortable.
There where no specialised maternity clothes till quite late in the 1800, most of the time women would wear their regular clothing during the whole pregnancy, which where constructed in a way, that they could let them out, meaning, that they could open the seams of the bodice and skirt to re-stich them to fit their altering shape. Pictures of pregnant women from the 1800 can also be found on Pintrest.
Also there was a very practical version of a dress worn over a hooped skirt, which did not have a fitted waist, but fell down to the floor in folds. When the woman was not pregnant, it was tied together with a belt, if they where, it was left to hang loose.
Wearing no corset during the Victorian period was deemed unacceptable. Women who did not do so, where considered lewd women and a disgrace to society. There where several attempts to get rid of corsets, but only around WWI that was achieved, as women needed to fill in for the men, work wise.
As today, most women tried to go with the fashion and even poor women could either afford a hoop/bustle or make one (out of wicker for example). I have seen pictures of factory workers and house maids wearing hoops, but I have to say, I cannot imagine a farm woman wearing one aside from perhaps to church on a Sunday.
The hoop skirt and bustle had a logic behind them, but it's probably not the kind of logic that would come to your mind right away. I think that to understand the appeal, you need to think about the historical context and the perception of women at that time.
In the Victorian era, men were the ones that had all the power and wealth, and women were perceived as the symbol of the men’s power. Of course not in the sense that the more women you had, the more powerful you were :D. But your wife’s clothes were essentially a way for you to show off that you could afford expensive clothing, that you had the money to buy her dresses made out of the best fabrics and adorned the most exquisite jewelry. Now with that in mind, we can start talking about the hoop skirt.
Wide skirts were popular for many centuries because they showed you could afford to buy these yards of fabric to make one. And most importantly- it showed you could afford to buy all these petticoats to give the skirt such shape. Before the hoop skirt was invented women had to wear about 7 or 8, maybe more, starched flannel (or horse hair) petticoats to get the fashionable silhouette. You can imagine that is a lot of weight and heat. But regardless of how uncomfortable that might have, a men would still want his wife to wear as many petticoats as he could afford, at least in public, because it gave him a higher status. However the hoopskirt created the fashionable silhouette, was much lighter and significantly cheaper. Now I am sure you can imagine that when you have a very difficultly achievable ideal and then someone invents something that makes that ideal way more achievable and way more practical much more cheaply, people will buy it and it will become popular very quickly. And that is why hoopskirts became such a trend, because it made something that has previously shown everyone you were a powerful person accessible to people of pretty much all classes.
This turned out to be ridiculously long, so if you’ve read through this whole thing, let me know if you want to hear about bustles :D
PS: I chose to refer to you as a man, so that you can see it through the perspective of a man since they basically had all the power at that time and could dictate what their wife (or possibly daughter) wore. I don’t know your actual gender, so just in case it offended you I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. Also I’m not a native English speaker, so sorry if the grammar is weird :)
+Tereza Šišková I want to know about the bustles. Thank you.
I love the fashion of old england. Wouldn't it be awesome if people still dressed like that today? Ive been wondering this since i was a child watching princesses in movies 😄
You would have to change our societies first, because this goes against todays "everyone for him/herself" ultra-competitive and rushed mindset. Oh and I doubt you could drive a car in such a dress ... so you need a taxi or public transport.
Flying V.S. Farm, forget the car - that's baby task, in Bavaria (Germany) girls drive bikes in dirnd'l dresses!
had to laugh.. just recently drove in my dress and hoops. slightly awkward but totally doable. now, myself i cant drive easily in corset but i know those who do..
Me too
Victorian and Edwardian fashion is so much more modest and good looking, today when I look outside it basically looks like most people r dressed yet naked coz of le skimpy and tight stuff. No hate, it's their choice anyway. Dang I wanna rock some Edwardian stuff.. But sadly I don't think I would be able too... I haven't even learnt how to sew cause I never seem to get an oppurtunity ;-;
I have been brought here by TH-cam recommendations I dont know why but I am here
I AM HERE!!
Fascinating. Thanks so much for the information. I laughed out loud - I was just thinking, "that's a lot of tiny effing buttons" when "poof" my thought appeared in your caption.
I'm only 12 and everyone is so rude to me but don't mind that I wish that we dressed like that the dresses are so beautiful I don't really care how long it that's I just wish I everyone could dress like that again
Well, they've no business being rude to you, Melanie. I wish we dressed this way too.
Consider the sourse. If they're rude, they are not on a level to be listened to... which means, people without common decency are not worthy of you. Smile, nod and walk away.
It would be a little hot but it’s so pretttyyyy
Aye slow down
I thought I was wierd but dang.. Victorian and Edwardian fashion is so much better looking and modest..if everyone dressed like dat I would have fifty trillion rooms fool of Edwardian/Victorian fashion!
I've been reading about victorian fashion since I was a little girl but this is the first time I've seen that myth debunked in "real time" as it were. Thank you so much!
Dresses with crinoline look so much fun to wear
When I get dressed in historical clothing my hair takes the most time by far!
I imagine. It is still what is more time consuming this days. That and any make up. It can take hours and hours, sometimes depending of what your goal is you may need to do something to your hair during a long period of time. I would LOVE to have my hair done by a professional all the days of my life, wearing it nicely and lovely every day, put on some wigs, etc :)
Absolutely love your channel!!!
@@syedmazharhasan6803 - Thanks!
You are so adorable. Your clothes sure are amazing and all... but your face and your traild as a whole, are so mesmerazing... With all due respect, you are stuning and your working is fantastic. Thanks for this video.
is it weird i thought it was so adorable when you jumped to get the skirt to lie down properly? XD
great video!
A Goth friend taught me that important rule: boots first, then corset.
I honestly would love to dress up fully like this
Imagine just getting ready in the morning and then saying, “I have to pee”
You could literally just lift up the skirt and pull down your drawers. I heard somewhere that very rich people even had a split in their underpants so they wouldn't need to get undressed in the least, though I'm not sure about this one and I'm too lazy to double-check right now.
Here has video Victorian realities - How did they use a toilet 😉
Sigart everyone had split drawers. It’s hard to get to the button beneath all those layers, especially the corset, on your waist.
@@Sigart EVERYONE had slit drawers back then, rich or poor. My late great-grandmother told me ladies used chamberpots that resembled gravy boats for relieving themselves in those huge layers of skirts. They even had maids sneak these to them during church service when needed, because the pastor was rather wordy. Puts antique "gravy boats" at your friendly neighborhood Hyacinth Bucket's house into a new perspective. lol
Sigart poor people had splits too, but there skirts were even skinnier
I would love to dress up like that, the style is so romantic!
i love this music. it literally takes me away.
Ashley Lynn me too!! Do you know what it is called? It is just stunning!
@@rebeccaholcombe7905 omg yeah! I cant find the names either :/
Summer Days by Kai Engel!!!!!
Me too.
I appreciate the “hopping” to get the skirt to lay right, lol.
I bet you anything that it actually _is_ historically accurate. 👌🏻😂
Both dresses were absolutely beautiful and you looked simply gorgeous! I’m so glad this was recommended for me!
That corset would do wonders for my back and I wouldn't have to wear a bra; straps dig into my shoulders. And I hate underwire! We need to go back to tunics and leggings.
That means you wear the straps too tight or even wrong size bra! For every two inches difference between your bust and underbust circumstances it's one cup (up to 2 inches - A, up to 4 - B, up to 6 - C, etc). The belt size is one size smaller than the one your underbust circumstance supposes, for example if your measures are 34inch (75cm) and 38inch (85cm) you'd buy 32(70)B. Your should be able to freely run two fingers between the strap and your shoulder.
you can always talk to a doctor about buying a corset or something to help your back. (i know this is 2 years ago) ive heard people using them for back issues!
@@raynatumbeva780 this is not right. if you measure 34 inch under bust, you were a size 34 band. if your bust measures 38 inches, you wear a 34D. I don't know where you got this idea, but it is not true. Back in the olden days they added 4 inches to your underbust measures to get your band size, nowadays you just use your under bust measurement as your band measurement because there is 90% elastic in the bra band nowadays and none in the olden days. It is 1 cup per inch of difference from underbust measurement. A person who wears a 32B should have these measurements: 32 inch under bust, 34 inch bust. A poor women with a 34 inch under bust and 38 inch bust couldn't fit into a 32B if she tried. Her boobs would be spilling out everywhere and she likely wouldn't even be able to close it.
I actually just bought a corset. I absolutely love how much better my back feels in it. After a bit of a reminder to move with better posture, I find it very comfortable - even though I detest wearing a bra and avoid them like the plague. The corset, however, is surprisingly comfortable. Moderately laced, of course.
Then get yourself a corset!
WOW! Just wow!!! I feel that my generation spends more time trying to find ways to wear less and less clothes these days yet in 10 minutes you are able to completely look mesmerizing. The elegance that this style of dressing is one that I truly wish would come back in my lifetime. Excellent video and excellent dresses!
YES
Very informative video, thank you!
Although the sped up jumping up and down to settle the skirts is absolutely hilarious
I absolutely love the Victorian era and it is a certain obsession of mine. I love studying it, reading historical fiction novels set in the period, reading literature from the period, listening to Victorian-esque music, and just researching it! I am actually in the process of writing a historical, psychological novel myself, but with my current studies at University, it's slow-going. In any case, I find the videos truly wonderful and you've gained a subscriber! Thank you! I look forward to seeing more and more content!
The fuck me too I'm addicted I just can't stop researching about it
So crazy to think we were dressing like this and it really wasn't that long ago. Fashion has evolved so much since then.
Thank you for this I love this era❤ Beautiful dresses. Shame this fashion doesn't come around again I would love it 😊
This was absolutely fascinating to watch - the concept of the series is genius!
Loved this. I've always had an ides of what went into a full outfit back then, but seeing the different layers and how they all fit together was fascinating to watch. When you hopped to get the skirt adjusted was funny, it made me chuckle, but I can see it was necessary and a common practice. Like dancing into a freshly laundered pair of jeans. Got yourself a subscriber!
Wow and I have been struggeling with just my skinny jeans for the past 10 minutes....
I've watched several of your videos--the dresses are so beautiful and the material is exquisite. One of the reasons I enjoy watching old movies is seeing how the ladies used to dress! I wish style would come back!
The purple outfit is simply gorgeous!
Josi Craig They're both purple...
Very educational video. Your dresses are always so stunning, but I'm so very glad we don't have to do this anymore. The videos make you sit back and think how far we've come in the realm of fashion design. A tremendous round of applause for you!!👏👏
I absolutely adore the music you use. Also, very interesting video!! Thank you for uploading!
The second dress is the style Laura Ingalls (Wilder) would have worn in her mid-late teens. Some of the illustrations in the Little House books show this silhouette, it's very elegant.
I read the books to (if you do)
In the sweet 16 episode that Laura starts teaching she is wearing a bustle hoop skirt. It's not too wide/poofy nor straight tight. I think bec her figure what so youthful looking she picked a dress with a bit of poof in the back to add to her figure to look more grown up.
It would take me longer to dress. Because I'm plump, busty, and have a screwed up back I would need help the the corset because the front busk keeps popping open as I try to pull the lacing. I have better luck with a solid front or side lace but... And the higher in status you are the more elaborate and confining the clothing. Did you know during late Tudor and Elizabethan times noble and royal women had to be _pinned_ into their clothing? Ugh, the very thought.
pins were very popular for use on clothing for centuries - in medieval, Tudor, Georgian - only diminishing with use in the 19thcentury etc. and not only my higher class, the were used all across the social spectrum. they are actually quite handy - just like everything you get used to things. i resent velcro more...;-)
priorattire Velcro has it's uses, but not in those kinds of clothes. Same with zippers-- pre-roaring twenties just NO!
+priorattire I have been watching your videos for awhile and would love to know when did you find your love for knowledge of the victorian world began? and Where oh where do you but your clothes!
+sarah beard buy your clothes

Your lil skirt straightening jumps are just about everything right now. Just found your channel. Subscribed and currently binging.
This channel is absolutely amazing, I was in awe watching the lady get dressed the entire time, going to search for you on facebook!
This was an amazing idea for a TH-cam channel. I've always wondered how these types of dresses worked. Thank you for taking the time to share all this information with us!
So the first dress...4 or 5 layers of clothes? How many layers on the 2nd dress...I think 5 or 6? Yeah. not for me. I'm glad to learn about these things though. Thanks for posting these videos.
I’ve only just come across you, now I can’t get enough. You are so entertaining, as well as explaining very well. And of course the clothes are beautiful and debunked my thoughts that the dress was one piece.
I love your cute little hops to get the skirts straightened out!
I didn't ask for this to be in my feed yet here I am. This is cool.
This is my favorite TH-cam channel so far and I hope it becomes more popular. Awesome!!
Love the bodice on the second outfit!!
Thank you for doing all of this as well as naming each item along the way! Very informative as well as entertaining to those of us who really appreciate this beautiful dress. :)
Clothing looks good at a museum, but it looks ten times better when it is actually warn. All the sudden the style makes more sense.
Oh wow, I always thought the "apron overskirt" was attached to the underskirt as one piece. This makes So Much more sense!
It can be, depends on the design
I love this :)
I'm starting a series debunking some corsetry myths in a few weeks so I will makes sure and include a link to this video :)
Just found your channel and have been watching my way through all of your videos. I think, even though I might prefer the look of other eras, this video and others of the same time period are my favorites, solely because it makes me smile every time you do the little hop to get everything to settle itself properly over the cages or bustles. I don't know why, but it just cheers me.
Imagine rocking up to the office wearing that?
‘Oh hi fam, don’t mind me whilst I check my emails’.
Apparently nowadays people will apply make-up for as long as 40 minutes, so they shouldn't be complaining :) I enjoyed the video very much, keep debunking!
Not sure why this was on my recommendations, but this was a fun video to watch

I love the little hop she does to straighten out the skirt 😂
The details on that corset cover (the one with the many effin tiny buttons :D) are so pretty and dainty.
I love the dresses too. We never had anything like this during our history since my country has always been of poor people and those who were rich enough usually spent more time in Europe than over here, and when they did come visit, it would usually only be the merchant gentleman, the lady of the house never traveled with her husband.
It would have been interesting to know how they would have dealt with the heat over here, we're usually between 30°C and 36-40 °C, and that's on a good day.
see our other video on the hot weather!

Great video! Thanks for demonstrating what it took!
The 1883 Day Dress is what I imagine is described in the chapter, "The Brown Poplin," in 'These Happy Golden Years,' by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think her brown poplin was made the same year, when she was 16. One of the things mentioned is her adjustable bustle, with wide tapes that can be buckled in back under the bustle, to make it more poofy, or buckled in front, to draw the bustle down to a less poofy silhouette, which Laura preferred.
Lovely video!
had no idea jumping played such a vital role in dressing!!
LOL! Even now it can, depending on what you are doing.
I think one thing people often forget when making statements like this, is that the people used to do it daily. Just like modern folks, everyone had to get dressed, so they would be completely used to putting these things on and off every single day, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, where you changed clothes depending on the time of day (morning, afternoon and eveningwear) if you were of the right status. As a historical costumier, you are doing the same sort of thing, so you can dress as quickly as the people from the period would have been able to.
If I had my way I would still dress that way
At my school when we learned about Victorian England we got to do activities and got to dress up to school a lot of girls just wore long skirts and boys wore coats and if you didn't dress you could participate but for me I got to renaissance festivals and fairs so rocked it with me dress hoops and bonnet I put everyone else to shame I wish I could do it again.I wish we still dress like this :(
Given how much time women devote to hair and makeup these days, and that women (respectable ones anyway) in those days didn't wear makeup and hair was really only elaborate for formal occasions, I'd say this is pretty quick compared to today!
Bouncing a little to fix the cloth over the cage was so charming
What music did you use in this video?
I love watching you put on these dresses! I wish I could find some place near me that lets you dress up like this!
those outfits are beautiful
Wow! This was really cool! Thank you for showing this. I had no idea! That lobster tail bit made me giggle.

Lovely! The little hops to get it all settled are adorable, too.
Do you make your outfits? They are beautiful!
Yes I do - info in the credits! Thank you!
Cool thanks, but that would have required the effort of stopping the video... and I was kind of in la La Land from the music and the beautiful outfit! 😊
I would love to walk through your closet! All these beautiful clothes!! I can barely manage to make sure my socks match, let alone get dressed as fast as you do with all those layers. Lol!
So freaking GORGEOUS!

Beautiful. Looks like Mellany Wilkins of Gone with The winds 😍
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but is this American Victorian or British Victorian dress? I'm guessing British, but how much difference was there? And was there a difference in the American West, which was still pretty primitive?
there are always differences and not only across the countries but across the regions too. having said som the plain style shown for the crioline was popular across the West world ( though sometimes still worn with just petticoats and without the cage), so a pretty standard combo of a skirt and plain bodice. the later ensemble is based on a fashion print from Harpers Bazar, 1883 - and considering the fast that the fashion magazines were wildly available in both countries, it may be safey assumed that the outfit could be made in either country. again, the basic elements are the same - skirt, bodice and overkirt, it woud be the embellisment, fabric choice et that would be more specific to what women in different countries had available
