Interesting! I’ve never seen a mesh corset. That outfit looks so beautiful and I can believe it’s comfortable. I work in construction and long sleeves help protect against scrapes/scratches, itchy fiberglass, and the sun, so sometimes I choose to wear them even when it’s hot. When I first did it, I was surprised at how tolerable the heat was. I wear all cotton, so the tshirt against my skin wicks away my sweat and the long sleeve button up I wear over it is baggy enough that it leaves an air gap. I don’t know exactly how it works, but I think it facilitates the heat loss from sweating because I end up having to drink a lot but I hardly ever feel like my clothes are soaked through/saturated (other than my work pants, those can be annoying). I imagine you outfit works a similar way, with the layer close to the skin wicking sweat and the outer layer baggy and light enough to allow airflow/heat loss.

Might I recommend linen? It's sorta the traditional work material. Breathes really well. Stains easier but easiee to clean since it is more durable when wet.
Good on you. I refused to wear the women’s work uniform where I work because it is made out of a horrible non-breathable fabric. The men all get to wear cotton shirts. I wasn’t allowed to wear the same as them so I wear my own clothes. So much more comfortable and convenient.
@@MirandaJean88 I worked at Geek Squad and had to wear men's white button ups because the women's necks were all super small, the bust was just below the collar bone, and the waist started at my actual bust. I still believe that whoever made those uniforms had only ever been described what a woman looks like in rough translation and never seen one IRL, like those scientists that used to sketch crazy looking rhinos and such.
No it’s because the women used to use wooden stoves and be cooking all day. So they had lightweight clothing. They’d wear polyester clothes in winter if they lived like us too
@@ro88o000o honestly, polyester makes me sweat in the winter too I have certain clothes I can't wear in any season because although it's thin it's also polyester and traps a lot of heat. Feels like a garbage bag on your body, as opposed to cotton or wool which you can just make thicker to trap more heat for colder seasons.
@@cake94309 Since it's in England, the temperatures are super moderate, so they have cooler summers and warmer winters. It still can get cold but it's not as severe.
Most people don't know that woven fabric is cooler than knit fabric; so a nice linen or cotton button shirt is actually cooler than a knit T-shirt. Knits cling to the body and trap heat, woven fabrics allow air movement and are much more comfortable in hot, humid weather.
She is exactly right about polyester. Most Dri-Fit clothing has a majority blend of polyester, which actually makes you sweat faster and does not breathe well , yet they sell Dri-Fit to be sportswear
I understand the dynamics of how the body removes heat and doesn't sweat as much if there is a constant layer of sweat attached to the skin. However, polyester is the worst method of achieving this. Cotton works far better, keeping that moisture barrier and it breathes at the same time. 90% of my work day is spent in hot attics. This is a topic I'm well versed in.
@@SMFFL100 yes in the stale attic air cotton would be more effective as it wicks the sweat away. In an active setting, the polyester does provide good cooling as the air rushes past. Both pros both cons
@@joepringle3695 And yet the Arabs swear by natural fabrics...as do Southeast Asians...People who've forgotten more about heat management than you'll ever know. Ya keep that worthless artificial junk. I will stick with the stuff proven by thousands of years of use. It's one of the few things the old foggies got right.
As someone living in the hottest part of Texas, let me tell you that if you can find 100% cotton tops/dresses, it will change your summer. Cotton and loose knits/weaves have amazing airflow and will help keep you cool. Also, go for light colors to help deflect that sun!
I have very little polyester in my wardrobe because I don't like how it feels. It doesn't "breathe" . Most of my clothes are cotton and other natural fibers. I work at Ren Faires and everything is either linen or cotton with the one exception of one really awesome leather corset.
i used to work at a ren faire and the clothes they gave us were some of the worst ive ever worn 😭 like the shirt was 100% polyester and it felt like a plastic tablecloth, i never wore it once and opted for my own garb 😂
Two more things: having your skin covered keeps your body cooler because it doesn't heat up from the sun. Also, wearing a hat and staying in the shade also helps a lot, try walking in the sun vs walking under a parasol or light coloured umbrella, it's quite a difference in temperature
I don't know, every time I've kept my skin covered in high heat it makes me feel hotter and traps my sweat. And that's been in both southeast heat and midsouth, Northern Mexico. Maybe I wasn't wearing clothing made of the right material for it though, but I definitely agree with you regarding the umbrella and hat!
@@feuerling Skirts, too. I have a skirt with lots of fabric, and it's mid length, you'd think it would be worse than just panties or very short shorts - but no, skirt wins. And it's black.
@@esmeraldalucio406 If your clothes have any kind of percentage of polyester at all it is going to feel like you are wearing a plastic bag. Because you kind of are. Polyester is the worst fabric in most weather. Lightweight (as in, the weight of the fabric, not the weight of the garment) cottons and linens are great at temperature regulation.
I am a 70's kid. Polyester was everywhere. My skin broke out into rashes from the plastic clothing. Although, modern plastic fabrics, are lighter in weight, my skin hates them. Really wish it was easier to find cotton and linen fabrics
i honestly have the best chance at thrift stores!! after a while u can tell by the feeling but most clothes still have the tags attached, so i manage to find tons of 100% cotton! non stretch denims and t shirts are the best bets :)
Walmart sells cotton shirts, you can find them in packs by the underwear/socks(usually) or in the crafts section(i got a pack of like 5 tshirts for drying my hair from there)
@Josh Skipka I'm 100% sure I read "people" and not "women", Josh Skipka. You should lay off social media for a bit. Women don't need a knight in shining armor.
@joshskipka yea common misconception that is untrue and fueled by radical feminists. corsets were worn by women while still doing forms of athletics something which is both not lazy but wouldnt be possible if their organs were pushed around. educate yourself
@joshskipka don't make assumptions on things you don't actually know LMFAO 😂 😂 I don't know where you got laziness from and ya it is fashionable but you clearly don't know that there are some modern day clothing retailers that sell old style clothes that don't hurt the people who wear them and are very mobile so the person can actually do stuff in the clothing because they realise it's a classy way to dress an people still need to be active. sorry if YOU prefer that women walk around half-naked and that guys walk around with they're pants around they're ankles and graphic t-shirts because for some reason YOU an the rest society decided it better to dress trashy than it is to dress classy (not nice when someone assumes something is it hope it got the point across) but myself and many others like to dress with style. it's not like we are forcing people to wear the clothes because people can wear what ever they want or the lack of it. all I said was "that I wished more people dressed like that because its classy". i didn't say that it's lazy or those who dress like that are lazy or that people should hurt themselves for fashion or anything stupid like that that you THINK I said when in reality what I said was is that it's a classy way to dress and that i wished more people dress like that and that I myself dress like I walked out of a history book that talk about the wild west. so by all means continue to make yourself look stupid by making assumptions about what my opinion is LMFAO 😂😂
yes! I remembered going to festivals where people did a parade in traditional Sardinian attire, often in temperatures of more than 30°C, and people always wonder how aren't they sweating their heads off? It's all natural fibers guys, way more breathable than the polyester T-shirt you're wearing ;) also the light veils protect the head from overheating!
Heat tolerance also depends on what a person is used to, our bodies adapt to different climates over the course of our lives. I wear only cotton and similar natural fibers like viscose (I hate the feel of plastic fabric and my hair sticking from static electricity) and I still suffer miserably at temperatures around 30°C if I wear more than one layer, or clothes that aren't loose and breathable.
In case people are wondering. She's using Fahrenheit not Celsius. 59°F is 15°C. Hence why she was 'alarmed'. You don't see many people walking around in breathable outfits at 15°C unless they'd grown up in the cold like true pasty-people. Now-a-days people bundle up in sweaters the minute the temperature drops below 20°C. 59°C in Europe would mean the world would be a lot "whiter" as the equator, temperate climates, and deserts reached temperatures near or above 80°C. No amount of sweating will save you from that much heat. Forest fires would run amok and millions of species on land and at sea would have gone extinct.
Thanks, wondering what it is in C Although I live in England and rn it’s like 18 degrees C and everyone’s like “It’s too hot!” But ig we’re just used to being cold 😂
@@ashofmeal9453 yep, I lived in Wales and that was the same. Once temperatures were approaching 20°C or 68°F, people started to complain that it was too hot, especially when they wanted to do outdoor activities such as hiking or running. For me, 15°C/59°F is t-shirt weather. Now in Germany, a lot of people wear coats or jackets while I'm out in a t-shirt and I get funny looks. I have to thank the UK and Finland prior to that for making me that hardy
I can most definitely confirm that polyester in any clothing will make you warmer. I started trying to buy and wear pure linens and cottons in the summer and it REALLY makes a difference in how quickly I overheat.
@@crazykuudere No, it’s not. 1906 is very literally the Edwardian era, just as she states, and what she’s wearing is a really basic, classic Edwardian outfit. It is not difficult to fact check this yourself with a quick online search.
I remember wearing an actual handmade corset with a cotton thing under and a cotton thing over it (plus a long skirt) for a Renaissance costume and I was FREEZING. I was so confused and did not expect that.
Also, if you were actually living in a warmer climate, then you would likely be wearing linen or a similar long-fiber plant based material. Cotton is intrinsically warmer due to the shorter fibers requiring plying in order to create a usable thread. Linen, on the other hand, produces a few different grades of fiber during processing and the longest of these is approximately three feet long and can be spun into a usable thread easily without needing to be plied.
Silk (not fake silk, real silk) and wool are great for the cold. Silk of course is also good for warmth. Wool can even be ok if thin...the thing is if it's healthy and regulated temperature it's probably good for both. Cotton is simply not best for close to the skin if sweating in the cold because it won't dry as fast/wick away sweat. I have thin silk long John's for under yak fur for going in the snow and it's wonderful. Have to get it on sale and take care of it though.
Polyester is also toxic. As is rayon/viscose/modal, acrylic threads, PVC/polyurethane (fake leather).... Many people have no clue what phatlates are and what they are contributing to when they buy synthetic.
@@ari3lz3pp rayon/viscose/modal are synthetically produced cellulose-based fibers and should not be toxic to any degree after final processing. Now the actual manufacturing of the fiber does involve quite a few chemicals which need to be dealt with properly to ensure that they don't contaminate the environment, but it can be done. Typically, if you want a fiber to feel slick and offer some cooling quality then you want mercerized natural fibers. Both cotton, linen, and other plant fibers can be mercerized and silk can be polished, which removes any irregularities from the surface, straightens the protein structure, and pre-shrinks the fibers. Wool can also be treated to close the cuticle, straighten the fibers, and additional treatments can be applied to prevent felting and pilling. Similarly to synthetically derived fibers from natural sources like rayon/viscose/modal, the fibers should be free of chemical impurities after the post-processing washing steps. Nylon, acrylic, polyester, spandex, polyethylene, and polypropylene are the primary fully synthetic fibers to watch out for if you are concerned about phthalates, since these are all composed of cross-linked polymer chains which benefit from the use of plasticizers in their production in order to make them softer and more compliant. Since rayon is created through the dissolution and re-linking of cellulose matrices, it does not necessitate the use of phthalates. While the original process for the production of rayon does produce environmentally harmful byproducts, if you want to avoid rayon made in this way then look instead for lyocell, a rayon made with the newer and less environmentally degrading manufacturing process. Fibers made with this new process go by the name lyocell and tencel.
bro if we wore like the proper everyday corsets people used to wear i feel like i would enjoy choosing my clothes way more. it just makes clothing look so nice!
@@bluebeesmarple actually daily corset wearing is likely to make your back hurt even more in the long term. You'd be keeping your back muscles immobilized in a steel-boned cast, thus letting them weaken and lose the ability to support your weight by itself. This is why doctors warn against using back braces and try to get patients with broken bones out of casts as quickly as possible.
@@hewholivesonhearts do you know the fashion history of corsets and how they work? cause they’re nothing like braces or casts, a “steel-bone” corset was not worn for long periods of time, there were home corsets and sport corsets that were a lot more flexible for support during laborious activities, they were custom made for each persons exact body shape and they modified them themselves if needed, especially adding padding, they’re never supposed to be restrictive in the first place, i don’t think the standard practice caused any issues, only the few people that tight-laced which is not the correct usage of a corset and was not a widespread practice
@@bluebeesmarple Yes! I understand that there are different kinds of corsets made for different kinds of activities. I own a corset! I also wish to own stays at some point in my life. However, like back braces, even the more flexible kinds of corsets can be detrimental for the reasons I've already described. I understand that corsets have come under fire for a lot of foolish "health" reasons. However, it's still important to acknowledge that unless you're doing intense manual labor in a flexible corset (which is not advised), it's probably best to give your core muscles some attention.
I live in Florida, so definitely agree about polyester making you hot. I try to avoid it when possible, preferring cotton and linen, but it’s getting harder and harder to find them. It’s in the upper 80s already here, and will be in the upper 90s soon. Would much prefer the weather in the UK. 😅
Yeah, it's really hard to find in regular clothing stores. Often things get labeled in the name as linen or cotton, but then when you look at the actual fiber content it's like 50/50 or 80/20 polyester. It helps to shop at smaller stores, and sadly, more expensive clothing. Natural fibers are more expensive to produce than polyester fibers.
I was born in Florida and being SUPER self conscious of my arms from grades 3-10 has trained me to be able to wear a hoodie in hot weather. At some point the reason went from insecurity to -> I don't wanna put on a new layer of sunscreen every hour
Me too. Last summer where i live in Texas it was 108 almost every day. Even regular cotton t shirts are unbearable in that kind of heat. I wish it was 60 here everyday (with no humidity of course 🙄)
Wool is the best breathable fabric that I have found. Good in the winter, good in the summer. It also does a great job wicking moisture, as well as displacing odors!
That's right, there is almost nothing wool can't do, if you process it right. It also dries very fast, and you don't have to wash it as much, just hang it out and it's fine to wear for another day.
I've been increasing my natural fiber wardrobe for a few years now and I added a few lighter wool socks for summer and they are doing great even where I live (Phoenix). I have noticed that they don't get super smelly too.
We think it's classy because the "classy" clothes we wear today are based on traditional clothes. Casualwear has changed but formalwear hasn't changed as much. Also I probably shouldn't need to say this, but this is the stuff worn by upper class people, i.e. the wealthy. Poor people did not dress like this.
Yeah I don't think she knows what she's talking about historically. My hometown gets to about 100F with record highs in 120sF, probably close to Australia Temps. We have a history from the 1400s and even have photos during the victorian Era, where they're wearing that exact look.
@Erik Perhs Well, go back and learn what a desert is and how long it's been around. In March of 1907, the record high was 91F. Air conditioners were not readily available until about 1915, and in that part of Texas, not a lot of people were going to be able to have one shipped all the way from New York. In 1884, in El Paso, they had 66 days of record highs above 100F. Go learn. It's Global Climate Change, not Global Warming. Yes, some areas will change to warmer, but other areas will change differently in other ways.
I love shear cottons for summer wear... working at a renaissance faire in three layers of clothing, shear linens or cottons are light enough for hot weather but cover enough to protect your skin from the sun.
I have a mesh braless corsage I wear to concerts etc. It looks nice and great back support while standing for long periods of time, and since it has no bra part, it doesn't feel in the least restrictive to breathing. It's also not hot in that at all. Really really useful piece of clothing.
Corset is the word you want. Corsage is the flowers either pinned to a gown, or worn on a wristband, like at the prom, though I think that's out of fashion now!
I always check the fabric of my clothes before I buy it, and mostly wear 100% cotton which is nice and breathable for the first 6 hours but after that it tends to hold dampness directly against the skin and I think that point gets ignored when people say natural fabrics are more breathable
What an absolute beautiful looking lady. You think about it the amount of clothes women were wearing over 100 years ago and it’s scary. Mind back in the day the clothes were beautiful and would have lasted way longer than today
@@Sputterbug You are right, she is demonstrating high class, (&looks amazing!), & I was referring to the poorest. There were, of course, gradations in between. 🌝
That English summer temperature hasn't changed much - it still averages around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I've checked the temperatures since 2015 until now, and the warmest month was July 2018, with a whooping average temperature of 18.7 degrees Celcius (65.7 Fahrenheit)
@@BitterBetty76 more humid than I expected! I'm originally from central Europe and only learned that my hair can curl on its own once I moved to Cornwall. I'm now in London though and it's much less humid here (+ less salt in the air), so it depends on how close to the ocean you are - probably less humid the further north and west you go. Just a disclaimer - because it's an island the weather is really tricky - it changes rapidly + despite the average temperature being low it can still peak very high. Last July we had a nightmarish week with 42°C (107.6 in Fahrenheit) peak and the month's average was still around 18°C (65). What I'm saying is I wouldn't move here for the lower temperatures - in Cornwall even 25°C (77) can feel unbearable and I've never seen a house with AC 😅 I suppose it's good that no weather last long with how windy it is. Maybe it's fine and I'm just weirded out by this since I grew up in the most boring climate ever, but who knows 🙈
I live in England. Last summer we had a heatwave that reached 40c and it caused fires. Our houses are built to keep In heat and air con is very uncommon so it doesn't take much for summer to feel horrible. Maybe this is the year I crack and get air con haha
Not me wearing sleeveless and jeans , and a denim jacket during belarusian winter ( goes upto -35°C sometimes) Making everyone look at me in utter dismay. I have problems.. for sure...
People who were those clothes were rich. Not outside in the sun. As far as temperatures...the notorious heatwave of 1911... 98.1 °F The UK heatwave of 1911 was a particularly severe heatwave and associated drought. Records were set around the country for temperature in England, including the highest accepted temperature, at the time, of 36.7 °C (98.1 °F), Lastly, what you say about "polyester" is generally accepted as true. But the technology and moisture wicking fabrics, including weaves and UV protection, keep us cooler. You're also American. We have humidity. My husband is a reenactor. Nothing is weather suitable. Everything was based on class or in the case of military, often appearances. Research y'all don't listen to these people on the internet. Read books. Look at original sources.
I think they were usually made from a very durable but fine cotton fabric like the one you see in window drapes. The key to making it, is to use not just 1 layer of fabric but 2 and the number of stiches should be at least 10 stiches in 1 cm for it to be able to hold the abdomen together without ripping or the thread falling apart because the fabric will be under much tension.
@@Chirupwnsu I didn't say they were interchangeable. The creator just said 59 degrees. She didn't specify if she was using Fahrenheit or Celsius. She could have meant either of them. Given she was talking about England and saying it was hot in 1911, I assume she is talking about celcius (59 Fahrenheit is only 15celcius and cold) But given she was talking about the weather, that clothing in hot weather and the heatwave of 1911 (it's a well documented heatwave) she absolutely was talking about temperature.
I'm in Arizona and there are many pictures of folks out here in Tuscon in 1906 (before we were a state) and high class ladies did their best to mimic the Edwardian style but with one piece dresses.

Another thing people seem to forget is, when in the sun, it’s actually cooler to be covered, than to have the sun beating directly on your skin.

Don't forget, many people living in very hot climates wear long garments and are covered. The colour and kind of fabric make a massive difference. Cotton, linen, bamboo, silk, wool are all breathable.
Also, the humidity. You see more coverage in arid climates, less clothing in humid, tropical and subtropical climates.
L😢,lö ö😊 b

Most people don't know that woven fabric is cooler than knit fabric; so a nice linen or cotton button shirt is actually cooler than a knit T-shirt. Knits cling to the body and trap heat, woven fabrics allow air movement and are much more comfortable in hot, humid weather.
I was wondering about that, thank you so much!
Yes so true. I live in the hot humid Southern US and learned the hard way over the past few summers.
So if i wanted to look for just woven clothes, what type of materials would i search for? I'm in Phoenix and *Summer Is Coming*
I didn't even know the difference. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the info! I'm definitely going to try that tip!
She is exactly right about polyester. Most Dri-Fit clothing has a majority blend of polyester, which actually makes you sweat faster and does not breathe well , yet they sell Dri-Fit to be sportswear
Its because the sweat is held against your skin so your body cools off faster due to the heat being transferred more efficiently off the skin
I understand the dynamics of how the body removes heat and doesn't sweat as much if there is a constant layer of sweat attached to the skin. However, polyester is the worst method of achieving this. Cotton works far better, keeping that moisture barrier and it breathes at the same time.
90% of my work day is spent in hot attics. This is a topic I'm well versed in.
@@SMFFL100 yes in the stale attic air cotton would be more effective as it wicks the sweat away. In an active setting, the polyester does provide good cooling as the air rushes past.
Both pros both cons
Cotton is terrible at wicking moisture, i have seen it almost kill people
@@joepringle3695 And yet the Arabs swear by natural fabrics...as do Southeast Asians...People who've forgotten more about heat management than you'll ever know.
Ya keep that worthless artificial junk. I will stick with the stuff proven by thousands of years of use. It's one of the few things the old foggies got right.
WWII Reenactors get similar questions like “aren’t you hot in all that” yes but it is mostly cotton and/or wool so it breathe remarkably well.
As someone living in the hottest part of Texas, let me tell you that if you can find 100% cotton tops/dresses, it will change your summer. Cotton and loose knits/weaves have amazing airflow and will help keep you cool. Also, go for light colors to help deflect that sun!
🤔 Cotton absorbs moisture. It becomes like a wet towel in summer
@@brianna094 as someone with hyperhydrosis who lives in texas. Truer words have never been spoken
@Brianna only if you are sweating to begin with 😊
The light colored clothing thing is a myth. Darker, loose fitting clothing actually works better to keep you cool. Look up Bedouins
@@brianna094 wet towels are great in summer wdym
And linen! Wonderful, durable, breathable, flowy linen. Always a favorite in hot weather.

I’ve started investing in linen, cotton and merino wool pieces for this reason. Even a linen blend is miles better.
Lovely idea, but for some reason my body has never tolerated linen, it makes me itch and I get a rash 😔
@@lozzylols 😢
I love love linens. I want more xD
I’m so glad you clarified that it was western fashion. So many people don’t realise that the fashion was different depending on where you were
I have very little polyester in my wardrobe because I don't like how it feels. It doesn't "breathe" . Most of my clothes are cotton and other natural fibers. I work at Ren Faires and everything is either linen or cotton with the one exception of one really awesome leather corset.
Yesss! As someone with high sensory sensitivity, I just can’t do polyester. I get so distracted by the way it feels on my skin!
Polyester is supposed to be the most breathable fabric according to Google which is strange because my polyester bedding makes me really sweat. 🥵
i used to work at a ren faire and the clothes they gave us were some of the worst ive ever worn 😭 like the shirt was 100% polyester and it felt like a plastic tablecloth, i never wore it once and opted for my own garb 😂
Polyester puts strength in ur clothes and makes them not wear out in the wash

@@NoSh1tSherlock its edwardian not victorian
The outfit is absolutely gorgeous! I especially love all the ruffles at the bottom of the sleeve and skirt! Your waist looks so tiny too!
Two more things: having your skin covered keeps your body cooler because it doesn't heat up from the sun. Also, wearing a hat and staying in the shade also helps a lot, try walking in the sun vs walking under a parasol or light coloured umbrella, it's quite a difference in temperature
I don't know, every time I've kept my skin covered in high heat it makes me feel hotter and traps my sweat. And that's been in both southeast heat and midsouth, Northern Mexico. Maybe I wasn't wearing clothing made of the right material for it though, but I definitely agree with you regarding the umbrella and hat!
@@esmeraldalucio406 Harem pants(?) are awesome. Light, airy fabric, natural fibers, keeps out the heat and ventilates your legs with every step.
@@feuerling Skirts, too. I have a skirt with lots of fabric, and it's mid length, you'd think it would be worse than just panties or very short shorts - but no, skirt wins. And it's black.
That exactly what my grandpa always told me growing up on the farm
@@esmeraldalucio406 If your clothes have any kind of percentage of polyester at all it is going to feel like you are wearing a plastic bag. Because you kind of are. Polyester is the worst fabric in most weather. Lightweight (as in, the weight of the fabric, not the weight of the garment) cottons and linens are great at temperature regulation.
I am a 70's kid. Polyester was everywhere. My skin broke out into rashes from the plastic clothing. Although, modern plastic fabrics, are lighter in weight, my skin hates them. Really wish it was easier to find cotton and linen fabrics
i honestly have the best chance at thrift stores!! after a while u can tell by the feeling but most clothes still have the tags attached, so i manage to find tons of 100% cotton! non stretch denims and t shirts are the best bets :)
And cheaper, too..
Walmart sells cotton shirts, you can find them in packs by the underwear/socks(usually) or in the crafts section(i got a pack of like 5 tshirts for drying my hair from there)

@joshskipka yea common misconception that is untrue and fueled by radical feminists. corsets were worn by women while still doing forms of athletics something which is both not lazy but wouldnt be possible if their organs were pushed around. educate yourself
@joshskipka don't make assumptions on things you don't actually know LMFAO 😂 😂 I don't know where you got laziness from and ya it is fashionable but you clearly don't know that there are some modern day clothing retailers that sell old style clothes that don't hurt the people who wear them and are very mobile so the person can actually do stuff in the clothing because they realise it's a classy way to dress an people still need to be active.
sorry if YOU prefer that women walk around half-naked and that guys walk around with they're pants around they're ankles and graphic t-shirts because for some reason YOU an the rest society decided it better to dress trashy than it is to dress classy (not nice when someone assumes something is it hope it got the point across) but myself and many others like to dress with style. it's not like we are forcing people to wear the clothes because people can wear what ever they want or the lack of it. all I said was "that I wished more people dressed like that because its classy". i didn't say that it's lazy or those who dress like that are lazy or that people should hurt themselves for fashion or anything stupid like that that you THINK I said when in reality what I said was is that it's a classy way to dress and that i wished more people dress like that and that I myself dress like I walked out of a history book that talk about the wild west. so by all means continue to make yourself look stupid by making assumptions about what my opinion is LMFAO 😂😂
@Josh Skipka hahaha! You white knighted hoping some keyboard lady would fall for you. Instead you get schooled by your fellow sex. 👏👏👏
@Josh Skipka corsets didn't do this. they helped with posture, supported breasts and were fitted to the body of the wearer.
yes! I remembered going to festivals where people did a parade in traditional Sardinian attire, often in temperatures of more than 30°C, and people always wonder how aren't they sweating their heads off? It's all natural fibers guys, way more breathable than the polyester T-shirt you're wearing ;) also the light veils protect the head from overheating!
Heat tolerance also depends on what a person is used to, our bodies adapt to different climates over the course of our lives.
I wear only cotton and similar natural fibers like viscose (I hate the feel of plastic fabric and my hair sticking from static electricity) and I still suffer miserably at temperatures around 30°C if I wear more than one layer, or clothes that aren't loose and breathable.
@@feuerling nah i grew up in a relatively mild climate and i prefer hot humid areas. depends on your average body temperature and body fat percentage
Cotton and linen for summers over 30C for the win. I miss it when it was only 30C here last month.
In case people are wondering. She's using Fahrenheit not Celsius. 59°F is 15°C. Hence why she was 'alarmed'. You don't see many people walking around in breathable outfits at 15°C unless they'd grown up in the cold like true pasty-people. Now-a-days people bundle up in sweaters the minute the temperature drops below 20°C.
59°C in Europe would mean the world would be a lot "whiter" as the equator, temperate climates, and deserts reached temperatures near or above 80°C. No amount of sweating will save you from that much heat. Forest fires would run amok and millions of species on land and at sea would have gone extinct.

STUNNING! You wear it all so well! That belt!!
I can most definitely confirm that polyester in any clothing will make you warmer. I started trying to buy and wear pure linens and cottons in the summer and it REALLY makes a difference in how quickly I overheat.

@@crazykuudere No, it’s not. 1906 is very literally the Edwardian era, just as she states, and what she’s wearing is a really basic, classic Edwardian outfit. It is not difficult to fact check this yourself with a quick online search.
As if we don't understand science.
YES.... WE KNOOOOOOW
I remember wearing an actual handmade corset with a cotton thing under and a cotton thing over it (plus a long skirt) for a Renaissance costume and I was FREEZING. I was so confused and did not expect that.
Also, if you were actually living in a warmer climate, then you would likely be wearing linen or a similar long-fiber plant based material. Cotton is intrinsically warmer due to the shorter fibers requiring plying in order to create a usable thread. Linen, on the other hand, produces a few different grades of fiber during processing and the longest of these is approximately three feet long and can be spun into a usable thread easily without needing to be plied.
Silk (not fake silk, real silk) and wool are great for the cold. Silk of course is also good for warmth. Wool can even be ok if thin...the thing is if it's healthy and regulated temperature it's probably good for both. Cotton is simply not best for close to the skin if sweating in the cold because it won't dry as fast/wick away sweat. I have thin silk long John's for under yak fur for going in the snow and it's wonderful. Have to get it on sale and take care of it though.
Polyester is also toxic. As is rayon/viscose/modal, acrylic threads, PVC/polyurethane (fake leather).... Many people have no clue what phatlates are and what they are contributing to when they buy synthetic.
@@ari3lz3pp rayon/viscose/modal are synthetically produced cellulose-based fibers and should not be toxic to any degree after final processing. Now the actual manufacturing of the fiber does involve quite a few chemicals which need to be dealt with properly to ensure that they don't contaminate the environment, but it can be done. Typically, if you want a fiber to feel slick and offer some cooling quality then you want mercerized natural fibers. Both cotton, linen, and other plant fibers can be mercerized and silk can be polished, which removes any irregularities from the surface, straightens the protein structure, and pre-shrinks the fibers. Wool can also be treated to close the cuticle, straighten the fibers, and additional treatments can be applied to prevent felting and pilling. Similarly to synthetically derived fibers from natural sources like rayon/viscose/modal, the fibers should be free of chemical impurities after the post-processing washing steps.
Nylon, acrylic, polyester, spandex, polyethylene, and polypropylene are the primary fully synthetic fibers to watch out for if you are concerned about phthalates, since these are all composed of cross-linked polymer chains which benefit from the use of plasticizers in their production in order to make them softer and more compliant. Since rayon is created through the dissolution and re-linking of cellulose matrices, it does not necessitate the use of phthalates. While the original process for the production of rayon does produce environmentally harmful byproducts, if you want to avoid rayon made in this way then look instead for lyocell, a rayon made with the newer and less environmentally degrading manufacturing process. Fibers made with this new process go by the name lyocell and tencel.

bro if we wore like the proper everyday corsets people used to wear i feel like i would enjoy choosing my clothes way more. it just makes clothing look so nice!
and our backs wouldn’t hurt
I agree.
@@bluebeesmarple actually daily corset wearing is likely to make your back hurt even more in the long term. You'd be keeping your back muscles immobilized in a steel-boned cast, thus letting them weaken and lose the ability to support your weight by itself. This is why doctors warn against using back braces and try to get patients with broken bones out of casts as quickly as possible.
@@hewholivesonhearts do you know the fashion history of corsets and how they work? cause they’re nothing like braces or casts, a “steel-bone” corset was not worn for long periods of time, there were home corsets and sport corsets that were a lot more flexible for support during laborious activities, they were custom made for each persons exact body shape and they modified them themselves if needed, especially adding padding, they’re never supposed to be restrictive in the first place, i don’t think the standard practice caused any issues, only the few people that tight-laced which is not the correct usage of a corset and was not a widespread practice
@@bluebeesmarple Yes! I understand that there are different kinds of corsets made for different kinds of activities. I own a corset! I also wish to own stays at some point in my life. However, like back braces, even the more flexible kinds of corsets can be detrimental for the reasons I've already described. I understand that corsets have come under fire for a lot of foolish "health" reasons. However, it's still important to acknowledge that unless you're doing intense manual labor in a flexible corset (which is not advised), it's probably best to give your core muscles some attention.
I live in Florida, so definitely agree about polyester making you hot. I try to avoid it when possible, preferring cotton and linen, but it’s getting harder and harder to find them. It’s in the upper 80s already here, and will be in the upper 90s soon. Would much prefer the weather in the UK. 😅
I ordered some woven cotton pants from Liz Alig which been a life saver for me after moving south.
@@SpicyPickles2024 Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to check it out.
Yeah, it's really hard to find in regular clothing stores. Often things get labeled in the name as linen or cotton, but then when you look at the actual fiber content it's like 50/50 or 80/20 polyester.
It helps to shop at smaller stores, and sadly, more expensive clothing. Natural fibers are more expensive to produce than polyester fibers.
I was born in Florida and being SUPER self conscious of my arms from grades 3-10 has trained me to be able to wear a hoodie in hot weather. At some point the reason went from insecurity to -> I don't wanna put on a new layer of sunscreen every hour
Me too. Last summer where i live in Texas it was 108 almost every day. Even regular cotton t shirts are unbearable in that kind of heat. I wish it was 60 here everyday (with no humidity of course 🙄)

That mesh corset is so pretty. I'd love to have one.
It’s just so freaking pretty, delicate and modest. Sooooooo beautiful!!
cracks me up when people fawn over "modesty"
Wool is the best breathable fabric that I have found. Good in the winter, good in the summer. It also does a great job wicking moisture, as well as displacing odors!
That's right, there is almost nothing wool can't do, if you process it right. It also dries very fast, and you don't have to wash it as much, just hang it out and it's fine to wear for another day.
I've been increasing my natural fiber wardrobe for a few years now and I added a few lighter wool socks for summer and they are doing great even where I live (Phoenix). I have noticed that they don't get super smelly too.
"it's just not warm enough to be wearing something like this right now" no but it looks slay. and that's what matters
Stunning. Clothing used to be so artistic and classy by comparison to today.
Now clothes are comfortable and unencumbered
Can you imagine washing all that nonsense without a modern washing machine?

We think it's classy because the "classy" clothes we wear today are based on traditional clothes. Casualwear has changed but formalwear hasn't changed as much.
Also I probably shouldn't need to say this, but this is the stuff worn by upper class people, i.e. the wealthy. Poor people did not dress like this.

@@candacerain1 Well, you do know Earth was cooler in general at that time, right?
@Erik Perhs Well, go back and learn what a desert is and how long it's been around. In March of 1907, the record high was 91F. Air conditioners were not readily available until about 1915, and in that part of Texas, not a lot of people were going to be able to have one shipped all the way from New York. In 1884, in El Paso, they had 66 days of record highs above 100F. Go learn. It's Global Climate Change, not Global Warming.

I would love to know what material that corset is made of. I want to make my own mesh corset because I dress Edwardian every day but I live in Texas
So cool, do you have an Insta or anything? I live in an Edwardian house in England, love the era x
I think they were usually made from a very durable but fine cotton fabric like the one you see in window drapes. The key to making it, is to use not just 1 layer of fabric but 2 and the number of stiches should be at least 10 stiches in 1 cm for it to be able to hold the abdomen together without ripping or the thread falling apart because the fabric will be under much tension.
The way you hooked that corset up was smooooooth! That takes practice.

@@gameplaygirl3268 59°c is not a physically possible outdoor temperature in England. In my lifetime, the hottest it's been it 30°c
😮😮 I just looked at your blog and DAY 1 QUARANTINE photo is soooo amazing. I love how you do this!! ❤
That dress is so beautiful!
I'm loving that corset so much. I haven't seen a mesh one that actually "does the thing" ❤
My word I fancy you. The fashion doubles that again.
Side note, your hair is very pretty in this video
Beautiful woman! Look fine in just about anything and you are no exception. Thank you for the history lesson and sharing your self with us. 🌷😊👏
That era has always intrigued me.
I love that corset. It looks weirdly practical.
Cotton and linen are the answer to all of my summer problems tbh, theyre life savers
That final waist piece is gorgeous!
I'm in Arizona and there are many pictures of folks out here in Tuscon in 1906 (before we were a state) and high class ladies did their best to mimic the Edwardian style but with one piece dresses.
You and your house matches. Love the wall paper. ❤
Thank you so much for the tip about polyester. I have a lot of trouble with regulating body temperature.
That outfit is gorgeous ❤❤❤
