Unboxing a (SURPRISE!) Victorian Clothing Haul from Hello Vintage \\ Part 1of 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2020
- A few weeks ago, Carolyn from Hello Vintage in Oakland, reached out to me to ask if I'd be interested in her giving me some hand-picked Victorian women's clothing to unbox with you all. Obviously, I said yes! 😍She sent me so many beauties, that I had to break the video up into two parts - so the final installment will be released on June 21, 2020! I loved this whole process - I had no idea what she was going to send me, so this week's and next week's videos were *so much fun*!

❤️As a Dress Historian who also loves to sew historical costumes, I love studying antique clothing from all eras - from the 18th-century up through the 1920s (and if I could ever study clothing other than the 18th-century I would probably cry happy tears and then curl up into a little ball and die a little bit, but I digress...). By studying antique clothing, we can learn different sewing techniques, learn more about different fashion trends throughout history, and learn how to be better dressmakers and historians through the process. Clothing is a great connector to the past, and I love sharing with you all how different Victorian bodices or Edwardian dresses were made.
(Note: In exchange for this video, Hello Vintage sent me a selection of Victorian Era clothing pieces to open and share with you all.)

Bernadette Banner Videos : The Victorians and Edwardians were very particular when it came to Sewing.
Abby Cox Videos : Look at how little they cared, it's so inspiring.
Haha yeah!
Pick up 2 threads and pass over 4 for authentic Victorian gathers...
My gathers be thicc!
I like the philosophy that says I can be complete and utter trash at sewing..... but maybe that’s just me😂
Its like BB's videos are the instagram selfies; Abby's videos are the actual party pics!
Bernadette is often talking about the books on historical sewing and I think sometimes these things are a case of do as I say not as I do.
Seeing antique hand sewing look like trash on the inside makes me feel so much better about my own trash hand sewing lmao
I had to hand sew a pillow with a blind stitch yesterday and the only thing keeping me going was thinking about this channel 😂
Yes, exactly. 😄
My hand sewing sucks!
This one actually made me lol, I thought it was just me
IKR?! I feel a lot better about my sh*** backstitch...
I squealed equally as loud when I packed these up! Lol LOVED this episode & can't wait for next week. Thank you for giving this little antique clothing children a loving new home
This is so cool of you!!! Glad to see you in the comments!! (Also, congrats on the business #goals)
You got me *so good* 😂 these babies are going to be very well-loved over here. ❤️
@@roefane2258 Thank you! You're so sweet
Hello Vintage, I am so glad you have crawled out of the rubble that is the Pandemic. Abby was overjoyed at her sussy. I feel for those small business owners not able to, but I am so happy you are surviving. Especially being a woman. Best of luck to you. Can we shop your store online?
@@kimmifer512 Thank you so much for your kind words
Video idea: recreating a piece from your vintage collection.
Yes! Reconstructions are my JAM! 😍
Duuuuude, that would be SO cool
I would so love to see that too.
She hasn’t done that already?
This my literal aesthetic- presentable on the outside, good enough on the inside.
Nothing as exciting as getting super hype for an upload and seeing it's a part 1 so there's another one coming!!
Oh. Just wait. Next week is going to be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I was making animal noises 😂
@@AbbyCox you're so cool!
I don't know if I enjoy seeing these beautiful pieces more or seeing Abby's excitement. I love these videos so much. Can't wait for part 2.
Carolyn @Hello Vintage: Hey Abby, would you-
Abby: YES, PLEASE!!!
Love these unboxing videos! ♥️👏🏼🍾
Did I jump up and down when she emailed me? yes. Did I jump up and down with the package arrived? yes. Did I jump up and down and moan and lose my cool when I opened the box? yes. 😂
@@AbbyCox LOL! Okay so real talk here. My husband was like "Why are you jumping up and down?" And I said, "DUH, it's an unboxing video!" I think I have three heads because that was the look he gave me and BTW, missy....TEASE!!!! UGH I can't believe we have to wait until 6/21. But I sure will! 🤣
Question, in the future could you do a video on how you clean, wash, take care of the historical clothes you have (and wear/wore on a regular basis)? I have some corsets and whatnot and I know to never wash them but... cat hair is annoying and it be nice if there were some tips on how to avoid it smelling since I live in sunny South Florida and even with a cotton undershirt sweating is unavoidable. Thank you and have a great day!
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to create a very helpful video. 😕I never wash my antique pieces & I rarely/never wash my costumes. If your corsets are getting a bit *fresh* I would suggest airing them out for a day or two & spraying them with vodka or Everclear to help kill the bacteria. ❤️
@@AbbyCox but what if you stain them? :o
The Noobest Girl If it’s something you made with modern fabrics, but the construction won’t allow for hand washing the whole garment, your best bet is spot clean the stain. Ideally you did what you could ASAP, after checking the internet for recommendations about the type of stain and fabric. (Having the Internet in my pocket is so handy!)
If that fails you, you can try a dry cleaners. They’ve got a lot of experience and some scary chemical options you likely don’t have at your disposal. But, assume you won’t be able to hold them accountable if it doesn’t work, or causes damage. If they say they probably won’t be able to get rid of the stain - believe them.
For a vintage or antique garment... same options, although just leaving a minor stain, or one that can be hidden under a scarf, sash, jewelry... might be less destructive. If you choose to wear vintage garments, that’s a risk you have to factor in. Or, decide that wearing a bib-front apron while eating dinner, is your style.
As a general note on cleaning clothing:
Any of my clothing that isn’t panties or a t-shirt that got sweaty, if it doesn’t smell, or have something gross on it, I tend to just hang it up to air. Particularly pants and skirts. Assuming you’re wearing underwear, and not doing dirty work, pants only need washed every few wears, or even less. I have pegs for hanging clothes I’ve worn, but can be worn again before washing. It saves a lot of time, less wear on the clothes, uses less water. All around better for the environment, and my budget.
And if you treated a grease stain on a modern garment, do NOT put it in the dryer. Let it air dry and check if the stain is completely gone. Grease stain + dryer will set it, and significantly damage your chances of ever getting it out. If the stain is definitely gone, you can put it in the dryer next time. If it’s still there, do the stain removal thing again.
Good luck all.
Baking soda,or sodium bicarbonate is good for smelly bits sprinkle over smelly bits leave sit for a few hours then brush off with very soft brush,also you can spray with very diluted vinegar in cold water then patt with clean water and cloth but vinegar is an acid so be careful to really rinse it out completely,and only on really bad smells like on mildewed having brushed it well soft brush first .Milk on ink stains just soak the stained bit pat with fingers do not rub then rinse may need to do twice do not let dry between cleanings ,in cold water and air dry or cold hair dryer ,for blood stains if you prick yourself,spit on it,truly your saliva will break it down and then you can pat the stain in cold water maybe add a little orvis soap never use warm water on food stains as it will cook the stain in even further,some times it’s best to allow stain to dry then gently scrape it and then wash in cold water and Orvis soap hope this helps stay safe regards from Ireland
I love how unabashedly geeky you are about your craft, and how “no care-y” you give us permission to be. Looking forward to next week! (Also hi Abby’s mom!)
I came across your video on Colonial type corsets quite by accident. I'm SO glad I did! Liked, shared, and subscribed. Been watching your videos since. With your special mix of enthusiasm and sheer joy, your explanations about how the items were made spill out, in turn exciting others about how these period clothes are made. Thanks Abby!! Looking forward to 2nd half!!!!
I love how you're catchphrase is "If I was a betting woman" in a fun Hollywood southern accent. You are adorable and I appreciate you!!!!!!!
Omg the outtake at the end with the loud vehicle was MY LIFE tryin’ to be a teacher doing distance learning. There’s a dude in my circular subdivision who rides his SUPER noisy scooter around and around and around and so almost every video I made for my students has at least one but usually two moments exactly like that.
I hear cars and give The Look at my curtain. Lol.
Oh you lucky girl! I wish I could study those vintage outfits, they're so amazing!
And they make me realize that even the "perfect" Victorians didn't actually sew each and every stitch with perfection like their manuals said. That back stitching? It looks like the times I don't care and want to make things quicker. It makes me feel so good to know they weren't all that fussed either for every little thing. ❤
Literally the most delightful cliffhanger ever. I can’t wait! I have a collection of pre-WW1 clothes and you’re inspiring me to wrap them up and put them in boxes too! This is just what I needed!!!
I really love your videos, I’m fascinated by antique clothing and can’t believe I didn’t find you sooner (I’m trash for Bernadette Banner, Cathy Hay et al too) these unboxing videos are fab, can’t wait fir part 2!
Thank you! I am also trash for Bernadette & Cathy - they are the best! ❤️
1.Love your sewing room mess.
2.You can never be too excited.
3.What a wonderful person to do this for us
I love that the stitching on the inside isn't perfect. I think we want everything to be perfect when really it was whatever worked .
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's one of the reasons why I love doing these videos - bringing the honest to goodness guts of antique clothing into the public. It's so easy to assume those beautiful museum pieces on display are perfect inside and out, when in reality - they're often hot messes (also...this unintentionally became a bit philosophical...)😂
I think it was just like today. There are people who are perfectionists and every stitch looks identical and beautifully finished on every last inch of the garment. And then there is the rest of us ,some hit and miss do the best with the time you have . And finally the people who want to wear it tonight and if you look too close it's a hot mess.
Now, when I'm finishing the inside of whatever garment I'm making, I can just hear Abby's voice examining my work...
Those are some gorgeous stuff, I can't wait to see the next video. And please, never apologize for your level of excitement. It's uplifting to watch someone love their "hobby" (lol) as much as you do.
I lurrrrrve these unboxing videos!!! Besides the beautiful vintage clothing, we get to see you practically vibrate from excitement...what’s not to love? It’s so cool to see how these incredible garments were actually constructed.
Sad because I can only hit the like button once. So eager for the next episode!
But you aren't wearing your red "unboxing" dress!
It's wool! It's summer! I was too hot! 😂 I need to make a summer version! ❤️
I did miss the red unboxing dress - haaha
That is true!! Please, lovely Abby, wear your lovely red unboxing dress for the next vid!
I came here for the antique goodness and Abby content, I lived for the musical magic. I will forever sing Shape shape shape, shape the gathers when I think of that song. Also woohoo for the uniqueness of each Victorian pieces.
My brain has been forever changed by all those years as a musical theatre kid...😂
@@AbbyCox Me, too! Yass, for musical theater kids!
Abby language, “Butt bow!” ❤️❤️❤️
The equivalent term in British English is “bum bow”. Izabella Pitcher of Prior Attire has expressed her love of bum bows in at least one of her videos.
I know nothing about sewing, and I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about with any of the technical stuff, but I am still having fun listening to this and looking at the pretty clothes.
Never clicked so fast!!! Love love LOOOVE the old cloths! Yaaaass!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAY! I love old clothes videos too!!! They're so fun!! 😍😍😍
Abby Cox THE CLIFF HANGER, GIRL!! I can’t wait for next week!! 😍😍
I love that Abby talks to the clothing like I talk to other peoples dogs, or my kids as babies :P
I had no idea I needed this in my life; ie Abby examining and explaining antique clothing...I was riveted!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious! So fun to watch!
Oh! That fuschia velvet 20's dress of my dreams is hanging out in the background. It made me happy to see it again. I'm excited to see what other goodies come out of this magic box!
I love how excited you get about the clothes, it makes me happy because I get second-hand excited.
Your description of this bodice was excellent! I could really get a sense of scale and quality and style through it. Thank you for sharing this treasure, can't wait for next week!
I’m really enjoying the details you point out in the construction! Surprisingly it helps in recognizing when something on a new or used item has details that will hold up and won’t.
Abby's joy and enthusiasm is contagious.
The pure enjoyment you get out of these unboxing makes me want to hunt up more stuff like these just to send to you and watch you unbox them. :D That is my pleasure, seeing you so happy and excited for the love of your heart.
Loved this! Your excitement and the detailed explanations make it so much fun and educational to watch your videos. I always learn something and it is nice to hear that mistakes or occasional sloppiness is expected. It's also nice to know that I don't have to be 'perfect' each time I sew. I strive to do my best, but my best changes from day to day. Can't wait until next week!
I'm in love with my wired lav mic too, it's improved my audio so much! I really enjoy watching you examine historical clothing, your passion and knowledge is fascinating. Can't wait to see the 2nd part of the unboxing xx
I work with old books (like 16th century) and I COMPLETELY understand and share the feeling of joy at discovering new old things! They are such treasures.
It's Sunday and that means an Abby video. I love seeing how excited you get when you see what's in the box. Plus I could listen to you explain the ins and outs of whatever time the garment is from. Can't wait till next weeks installment of what's in the box.
WHAT A TEASE!!! That cliff-hanger should be ILLEGAL!!! Can not wait till next week
Your excitement is palpable. You're awesome!!!!!!!!
Oh my! Your happiness and excitement is positively contagious...I’m so looking forward to next week - the 21st is my birthday and your video is on my gift to myself list!❤️🥰😃😍
Your excitement is the most adorable thing.
Your enthusiasm for the subject makes you a fabulous teacher. I'm hooked!
Abby!!!! NO!!! Cliff hanger!!! The suspense is maddening! Love your videos can’t wait to see part 2. ^_^
That mourning bodice (I’m sure you are right about that) is just gorgeous 😍😍😍 I love to see your excitement, it’s so infectious!
Heheee- a kid on Christmas morning couldn’t be more excited! 😆
Love the giggles. You're so fun, Abby ❤
I loved this video, Abby. The way you walked us through the garment was wonderful!
Gorgeous piece, I can’t wait to see part 2!!!
Oohhhh mah gossssshhhhh
This is delightful. Thanks for sharing!
.....no thanks for the torture of waiting another week!! Ahhhhh!
This bodice is gorgeous, I love the bow, it's so cute !
I can't wait to see the next video !
I don't feel the same love you feel for these garments, but I still love to watch these videos. Why? Because you're so f... adorable and now I'm hooked for part 2!
I luv your out takes and how real you are!
Ack cliffhanger! 😱
I was watching with my nine year old daughter and we both yelled “noooooo!” when you told us to stay tuned, lol 😂. Can’t wait to see more pretties next Sunday!
Like,like,like,like!!! Nice study piece. Can't wait for next week!!
ABBY!! you are the best! and the unboxing is great too :D
Nice new mic.
Now you have a tail.
More unboxing!!!!
I think I need some hello vintage now.
I don’t know that would’ve managed waiting a week.
Awesome toss!!! It always happens when you’re not trying.
That cliffhanger tho omg
Can't wait to see the rest!!
That is so nice!! I love the opportunity to see these garments with you.
When the prologue of a video is a gasp of excitement, you know it's going to be an even better episode then last. This will be interesting. the inner half of the garments reminds me of how I do my garments. I will admit my insides are raw, but always try to make the outside that is seen look it's best. So it's nice to see even an antique garment is similar when it comes to the inside.
You are such a saucy tease with that ending 🤣
What a wonderful bodice that is. I am currently studying a black bodice, with an assymetrical front, from approximately the same era so your video is great timing. I believe the one I have was made for a preteen perhaps because my 8 year old almost fits in it. But more studying is in order. I can't wait to see what comes out of your box next!
You’ve inspired me to start my own collection of historic clothes. My first purchase (a mid-late 1860s lady’s vest) just arrived and she’s just gorgeous! Already got her in her archival box with acid free paper :3
All so wonderful! Beyond words!
Morticia
That excitement laughter was so cute
That's so cool, my son was living in Oakland until a couple of months ago, and he's mentioned Hello Vintage to me. It's one of his girlfriend's favorite places. 😊✌️
Thank you so much I've been looking for vintage dress store. 🥰
Fabulous ! I'll be back to see the rest!
I love all of your videos, you are so much fun :)
I love your make up in this video. Very smooth gradient. Simply lovely. :)
Abbys videos are every other TH-camrs blooper reel and that’s what makes them so good
I'm watching this while hand-whip-stitching a felled seam (no I don't know why I'm bothering, given that it's cotton/bamboo/lycra jersey!)
Nice to see scruffy insides :)
Y’all Abby has some downright feral energy sometimes and I love it to bits 💕💕💕
Really?
You're going to let us wait a week to see the rest, you teaser.
It will be a difficult wait.
I screamed -- "NO!" at the cliff hanger...scared my poor husband...lol😂
Who knew vintage women's clothing could be so harrowing?!😏😉
I didn't want to click "like" just wanted to pout instead
(of course I still hit the like button😕)
TheBereangirl my daughter and I both yelled too, lol
@@felicitygee381 😂
@@christinajackson2662 😂
I would DIIIIIIIE to see you recreate some of your antique garments. 😍😍😍
I'ts been such a shitty and depressing day, but now I instantly feel better! Thank you❤
Yay you have so many subs now!! 😊😊😊 also love how these are not perfect inside nice to see 🤗
I was so anxious when she cut that package open!
11:47 I started singing along! LOL!
I'm so happy I'm not the only one talking to clothing like they are pets.
I love your videos. They make me feel so much better about my sewing 😭
Power to the butt bows!! 🎀
Always enjoy your videos
What?? I have to wait until next Sunday, not fair! That bodice was beautiful. It was great to see all the detail put into in and how almost everything made it broader in the shoulders and chest or served to create that illusion (like the way the back was cut).
I first saw your video about wearing 18th century clothing for 5 years, and in the title, in parentheses, it said corsets aren't bad. I was wondering if you would do a video on the history of stays/corsetry because that is a very interesting topic.
Antique clothing are amazing!!! I have some. I'm Brazilian. Here in South America we just find in Argentina, maybe in Uruguai, too. I think if you like to wear then for photos or events, or just for keep. I like to mix my antique clothes with modern ones. Like an old coat with jeans, for example. The fabric is very delicate, but I wear then. I love antique laces and I have a hat collection, too.
Love your hair!!
Now i can give up on pretty seams with confidence lmao
I love the asymmetrical front and the pleats! Also, now I know that my level of hand sewing is totally... normal. I just get bored after a few inches!
Need part 2 immediately
Watching these kind of unboxing videos makes me want to try it. I mean if Victorian hand stitching can be a bit rough, mine can be too😁
I wasn't watching the time and am DEVASTATED about having to wait until next week! -- not angry, just-- oh my! Can't wait!
The original intention was to do one video, but it was just *so much* that I had to break it up! But trust me - it'll be worth it! ❤️
@@AbbyCox No worries!! I'm laughing at myself for not paying attention and trying to guess what the next item will be!
I love that when looking at clothes as old as that you can guess so much about the wearer, because the garment is made specifically for that person. impossible with factory made clothes
4:41 That squeal and that smile gives me strong Harley Queen vibes 😃
"I played basketball in middle school" Abby i love you
Hellooooo! Love your videos Abby! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Quick question about your mic: the one you gave linked in the description is not the lavolier mic. Would you kindly provide a link to the new mic? Many thanks!
This dress reminds me of the one That Laura Ingles wore for her wedding. Beautiful!
Nearly cried when you said pt 2 next week 😢😢😢
Angela Walters from Quilting is My Therapy says “finished is better than perfect.” Love that it’s not a new concept! I used to be so much more uptight about my sews. Further proof here that I really don’t have to be.
So cool! I live near Oakland and never heard of this place. Looking forward to part 2. Do you mind sharing what shade of lipstick your wearing for this video? It’s such a nice shade of red.
