it's crazy how far we've come....but tbh in 50 years women would probably look at our contour and highlight and think we're crazy
Thats how fashion works I suppose.
M I K A E L A considering the fact “halo” brow is a thing, yeah i would say they’d be disappointed 😂
*I* look at contour and highlight nowadays and think it’s crazy lol
Won't take 50 yrs.
M I K A E L A and our Clothes 😂
Rouge applied back then was like us applying highlight
love ocean yeah our children will probably look at our pictures years from now like mom why is your face so shiny ? Lol
0:13 - 0:18 that's sad bro.
love ocean yeah, Atoo much
Actually rouge was used because many, many more people had generally poor constitution. Medicine has cured so much that now very few people faint when they flush red, but back then many people fainted for reasons a plenty. Anemia, bad nutrition, nervousness, I mean, at this time we had iron lungs.
love ocean it was used more like contour
It's not really etiquette. It's more just presentation, dress, and beauty routines. Etiquette is manners. The closest was probably the elbows on the table but rouge is not etiquette.
I think a better term is decorum
😂 Absolute
Ya
The girdle wouldn’t show as much under the dress if you wore the slip that was also required to wear with dresses
slips are thin though...would it really help? i am not sure
It's an additional layer of clothing (I own a few slips but no girdle) so it may help. I know it covers my bra when I wear a dress with a slip.
@@kaitlynd9324 it does they arent that slim they're a satin material it feels light but that material is actually pretty thick not see through and covers pretty well. I'm only 22 but my grandma made me wear them to church
@@justmandi3571 i didn't know slips were still manufactured and sold.
But was it a college course for men at universities? 'Cause it was for women in the 50's. I don't think so -- and for reason.
I have to ask: what was so wrong with any of these rules?
I hate pantyhose in the summer and stockings in the winter, but when I go to work in an office I wear them.
Sitting up straight is just good for posture and when you're with others it just showing respect.
The blush is basically the same as now. You pick a color that goes with your complexion, you're not getting hooker red blush and putting it on your face, it's a lighter pink and it's a natural look. It was even popular in 2017 with the pinks and peaches coming out.
We call a girdle spanks today.
The thing at the end about it's more important to treat people with respect was a little weird because what do you think Etiquette is?
Eliza Lagonia I just wear a business suit when at work. Wearing dresses and skirts isn’t my style but that’s just me.
because in 2020 people want freedom from everything which is nice in many ways , I agree .
But again certain things though portrayed as rules weren't rules but discipline one should have for their life even when its not a rule.
For example , keeping quiet while eating food might be strict rule in houses and teens might ask for freedom.
But as i grew and started reading ayurveda , my indigestion problems , and just about mindful eating . I learnt one should be very mindful while eating . Its not like u have to zip your mouth but just be silent when chewing food.
But i also agree some rules in the past were too much and everyone is different so we should definitely find a common ground where everyone can live happily with their own disciplines without bashing anyone and showing superiority. 🙏
@@rachelbegmusic THANK YOU
Wearing stockings at all times is more like a proper appearance type of thing and it was very fashionable for ladies to wear them and there were different stockings for different seasons. Rouge and lipstick back then was also categorized based on your hair since reds were more for blondes and brunettes would have cooler colors like pink. I think when sitting up straight, it makes you look more proper and professional because it makes you look your best rather than slouching and looking bad. The 50s were the last year of when manners and how you looked, acted, behaved even just around your children or parents or even by yourself since by the 60s.....everything went downhill. I wish we just brought the 50s style back.
Urm where to buy girdle? I need one
My mom looked pristine every day from sun up until bed time up until she passed. I always thought she was classy and old Hollywood...also, I think Rafa looked lovely with the blush! 😍
Mandy Hernandez I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you had a very classy mother!
Chelsea O Thank you! She was amazing! 😊
"Garbage person who wants to learn manners"
WHY IS THAT ME
I thought the same thing
Same
Crystal M. Lol i was thinking the same thing it also reminded me of Shane Dawson
Bc it will teach you how to present yourself as a lady and not a trashy woman who slouches, drags her feet when she walks, smacks her food and gum.....ect.....
Im the garbage person who has very few mannerrs and couldnt care less
I would like to see men do this as well. It'd be interesting to see what etiquette they were expected to uphold in the 50s.
Seth Ray daydrink for one! 😬
Or better yet, have them do the women's version. Lol
They had just as strict rules, as well as always treating a lady with special attention. The feminists have it wrong, men didn't think women were too weak to open a door, it was just the gentlemanly thing to do.
Yess! I got so annoyed by that feminist talk at the end. I mean, girdles are outdated and so is rouge-ing your face up, but we could all do with a few more manners in this world. So often when I'm at a restaurant or on the train, I cringe at how some people behave. Men had ridiculous grooming "rules" as well, up to the length of their cravatte and length of the trousers. Btw, those weren't set in stone, that's just a book written by a wealthy bored women, but still more inspiring than 50 shades of grey.
Seth Ray Much better manners that many of them execute today.
I think men had strict social rules as well. White collar men, wore well pressed slacks and ties to work, and had their hair slick, and in place, and there were particular ways that it wasn't considered proper to treat a lady, so stringent social rules weren't just limited to females. There was a lot of social pressure on middle class people in general.
sage kath yea but men made all the rules lol
Which kind of nice for ppl to be neatly dressed, mannerly and polite.
Well said. Ridiculous expectations for everyone!!
There’s just as much “social pressure” now to be PC than there was for 50s people to “act proper” quite frankly. Men liked their hair slicked and in place regardless of social class (greasers anyone)? Although you were expected to follow work outfit white collar conventions you were being paid and paid handsomely (enough for a house, wife and kids) to do so it was more than worth it.
Amanda McCullough, yeah I agree. But, I think men didn't have as much pressure as women. Or maybe they did, but different kinds.
As a vintage dresser, this was almost painful to watch.
They didn't do much studying up on the subject, did they?
As a non vintage dresser it was painful to watch too.
Same
As a person that is interested in old dress, this was painful to watch
I don't know how they managed to mess it up that bad.
*Dear young people, please do not base your entire view of history from Buzfeed videos. Not everyone in the 50's was like this. If people looked at current women's magazines in 60 years they would get a skewed idea of what life was actually like too.*
+Lemony Apples Whilst I agree that perspectives change views, especially over time. Not everyone in the 50's thought that this was normal though. Just like today some people think you should go on a juice cleanse to get that perfect beach body but equally lots of people to not hold that view.
+Lemony Apples That was just one example in a multitude of possibilities, I hope you managed to understand the point I was making anyway.
Sammy Ariel good thing this is boldly and not BuzzFeed (I know they're made by the same company I'm being sarcastic)
Current mags and shows aren't every woman either. All of it regardless of decade is a trend or popular suggestion.
But it's kind of true though... How be aspire to be at least.
Literally my grandma still does all of these things on a daily basis
Jamie Campo same
Hahaha thanks for the laugh 😂
Chocolat Tarte
I'm assuming you're a male and you have literally no rights to judge, try doing all the things they did in this video see if you can complain.
My grandma wears the tan stockings everyday too
Chocolat Tarte: also another thing lol you're so sad
"garbage person who wants to learn manners" same girl
I think that everyone should be greeted when coming home still today. When the kids were little we all would greet my hubby at the door when he came home. And we still tell everyone in the house goodbye when we leave. That's just good manners and let's everyone know they are cared for.
Wait, not everyone does this?!
Not feeling sorry for myself, but I can remember coming home from work and hearing nothing but "What's for supper?"
Nobody gave me a proper greeting but the dog.
I do think that in a lot of ways everything was better when people had clearly defined roles like "breadwinner" and "housekeeper". ("Housekeeper" is fine if you're properly appreciated and valued for what you do.)
These days it often ends up with the woman working and still being expected to be a 50's housewife.
You’re acting as if people don’t say hi to each other anymore when they come home...
Stella Waldvogel No, housekeeper is not “fine” if you want a career. That’s why women protested against those roles, they were left without a choice. Today, you can very well be a stay-at-home wife if that’s what you want, just find a partner who’s fine with taking care of the whole family financially by himself. And you can even reverse the roles: the man is the housekeeper, and the woman is the breadwinner. That’s the beauty of it.
Also, if you’re contributing financially, than your partner should do their share of housechores. You have to make yourself respected.
I just wish women would still wear slips because there's a lot of good reasons to wear them. Mainly I hate when somebody gets up and their butt grabs their skirt. If you wear a slip, you grab the slip and your skirts still hangs properly.
Cayanna P try to find one! It’s hard unless you’re lucky enough to find it on line! I found mine in the Vermont Country Store!
@@imra316 look in thrift stores
I needed a slip to go underneath a very sheer summer dress. The only ones I could buy were made from nylon or polyester or something equally inappropriate for the climate. So I bought a metre of batiste and made one.
Very true. I buy mine at kohl’s
@@imra316 Found some slips at Kmart or Vanity Fair website.
Her grandmother wore lipstick even in Pyjamas
Wow you go grandma.
Cleo /// mine too. In fact you rarely ever saw her not dressed up. She stayed up till everyone went to bed and she was up before anyone got up in the morning.
My grandma always wear makeup. Not only powder and lipstick but full face makeup every single day. She can't live without it.
Cleo /// I grew up with all these rules except the corn thing. Still don't get the corn thing.
doesn't she get pimples?
F Dalia you put more make-up over the pimples, problem solved😀👍
"She just wouldn't eat corn"
"But I have to eat corn"
I... I relate
so much
Everyone looks like a heathen eating corn.
Ally Maiten tru
Ally Maiten same 😂
Turn on the subtitles when she says that 😂😂
If you get those things you stick in the end of the cob you won't look so heathenly......lol.....don't think that's a word......:)
I mean you could clean it off the cob that's what my grandma used to do
I go to a Russian Orthodox church to learn Russian and for one month we took etiquette class and guess who was the best at sitting in a chair out of 20 church kids? ME BOI
Victoria Misa
Yea!!! Good job! It doesn't matter if it's a male or female, Good etiquette is a lost art.
Victoria Misa how did u have to sit
If you're going to a Russian Orthodox Church, you're not sitting at all. You're standing. They stand through services.
Why do you stand at church? I'm Russian orthodox and we stand during service.
Yeah we stand but we had to learn how to sit
Okay, so, this is a weird thing to big me, but why don't they know how to put on nylons and tights? My mom taught me to do that when I was six.
Meagan Shupe
Same.But I had to learn because of dance.
Well it may be a shock to you, Meagan, but the world were not raised by your mother.
Meesta Meesta I’m not even going to dignify your horrible comment with a response in reasoning. Hopefully one day you’ll learn about something called equality and kindness. 🙂
Meesta Meesta
Ok boomer
Lizandra Barboza yeah but you should be able to put tights on without looking like a 2 year old
I remember the greeting your parents at the door when they came home. My grandpa (who I love and adore) was at our place every day of the week except for in the weekend, and when he saw that our parents arrived home he'd yell all our names and then all the children would line up in rank of age. My grandpa would open the door, welcome our parents home and then we'd welcome them home ourselves one by one in rank of age.
This tradition came to an end when my grandpa died (I was 16), so I took it upon myself to be the greeter after that until the day I left my family
Can the next one be "People Live in the 1950s For A Week": clothes, makeup, speech, EVERYTHING! #exceptracismtho
look at my hashtag
It'd be interesting to be called "a career girl" for a week, I guess....
TheChicagoCourier what about sexism?
Hope Fick a lot of people say it as a joke because people go crazy when you criticize the beatles at all
They had a show about this on TV for a bit called Wives with Beehives
tbh I think corsets&girdles are pretty comfortable
they certainly help my horrible posture
Corsets are actually fairly often prescribed for people with Sclerosis because they fit under the clothing and can be custom made to a person's measurements. If you know how to breathe from the diaphragm instead of the chest, one can run, ride a horse, shoot a bow, fence, and SING in a well-laced corset. {Speaking from personal experience. Male corsets are glorious.}
My cat has more money than I do I have 2 bad vertebrae. I have to wear girdles because my muscles strain easy. I notice a huge difference when I don't. 20 years bent over beds as a nurse did a number on my lower back😐 it does help alot with the extra support. No different than a knee brace in my eyes.
same here.
skorpia g Why you got a knee brace in your eyes?
You are a better woman than i!lol!I enjoy breathing!
I actually like the rules. I do 90% of them on a daily basis.
Yeah they make the rules seem so ridiculous but in reality it's literally just good manners
I don't mind it at all. I'm old fashioned though... I always wear tights... I dont order certain foods in public. Being kind and not encouraging gossip etc. Are both ladylike attributes that people ignore these days.
being kind is just a good moral quality, not a ladylike attribute
Don't order certain foods???
Finally a true LADY exists in 2019!!!!
If you’re not married by now, any man whom you’ve met is a fool.
Don’t let people deter you from being a classy lady either.
Kudos!!! ❤️
See whay you get by being a 50s lady like, Paige?? Kudos from a stranger who validates you through "good way for getting a man by behaving lady like! and dont give up if you had not got one yet!!" This shoud be a red light for you to rethink this stuff all together. Also, remember where black people were in the 50s??? Its really not a good move for us to be "old fashioned", sister.
Lizandra Barboza when did she say she supported racism? Stop making it about race, she’s enjoying the good things a bout the 50’s, yes there were many and things, we’re ALWAYS reminded of, but start looking at the good things, if she likes the 50’s let her, it’s a cute aesthetic. You can like wearing booty shorts and crop tops? Cool! Don’t care
Me and my wife live that lifestyle. car, clothes, house. even tv. We drive a 1958 Hillman Minx.
Clifftonic Studios how lovely
Sounds cool. Do you all make youtube videos showing your vintage life?
Um... when did not wearing blush become a thing? I feel like I look dead if I wear foundation without blush. I understand wearing blush more than contour and highlight.
Theresa Shores odd , I never wear blush , I feel like a munchkin . 💀 ,
It depends on what type of look people wanna go for
Well it's been switched with glow (Highlight)
My question is why was blush ever a big thing?
I like looking dead and colourless. Lol
I wear light to medium coverage fondation. You can still see my skin through it. Blush just looks like I have a rash. It's not the look I'm going for.
I'm confused did they do everything in one day as the title suggests, or do individual things on separate days? Maybe it was the way the video was edited, but it seemed like it was one thing at a time. Also, they barely showed these ladies going about their day while keeping to '50s etiquette. I dunno, this whole experiment felt off, like not properly handled.
Yeah misleading title
yeah, i agree. This is the 2nd video experiment I'm watching from this channel, and they half assed the expected concept in their other video also. I'm going to try another video, and if they do the same easily avoidable mistakes, I'm just going to give up on this channel, like fkn Talko lol
It’s buzzfeed, so what do you expect? It’s like watching middle school kids doing a class project. Cute, but they don’t really know what they’re talking about, since they haven’t learned any research techniques yet.
Jennifer Mavens - I agree completely. If you're saying you're going to do those four or five things, then do them in the proper context of ALL of them. You don't just pat some blush around your face, call it done, and ask your friends if you look like a clown! You don't just use blush/rouge as 50's makeup, and call that done either.
"I'm not trying to go around the office looking like Stephen King's IT". I LOVE THIS QUOTE.
Candy Art K it's not a quote
his name is Pennywise
Candy Art K his 'It' didn't even have rouge...😒🤣
Candy Art K Just saw the new one! Haha
I'm pretty sure the book exaggerated the application in order to show WHERE to apply the makeup, not as an actual instruction of how MUCH to apply.
I remember my dad would say "Elbows!" anytime that I had my elbows on the table when we went out to eat. He didn't care if I did it at home, but he would scold me anytime I did it when we went out for dinner. I miss my dad.
who highlights in a semi-antique book oh my goooooOOOOOD
she bought it off amazon, she literally said that in the video
Right!?
Unless it's appraised as a collector's piece that's irrelevant.
I've an extensive personal library & 90% of my books are highlighted, have notes & definitions in the margins, etc. My art books are in a separate closed case though - anyone who marks them up gets cut lol. Some are expensive, but their value is to me: either fairly fancy, my favorite artists or gifts.
Books are meant to be used, learned from, referenced - not just decay & collect dust.
The true masterpieces get insured, scanned & hermetically sealed under lock & key. Most of humanity won't ever lay a grubby finger on them...
Thriftbooks.com is a great site. I highlight in many of mine. Also make notes in my recipe books. It's a researcher thing
Who highlights in a book?
We learned this in my school like 2 days ago and all the girls were spazzing
Ew why
Wuttttt
... I leaned how to dissect a pig but not how to wear a girdle... or how I should wear nylons
Naturally Mystique why lmao
Naturally Mystique o
They didn't have pantyhose in the '50s; they had stockings or hosiery with a garter belt or girdle with fasteners.
CECE HUGHLEY NOEL is why it bothers me she kept calling them tights.
Pantyhose actually came out in '59. So technically yeah they did have them in the 50's and types like them. We are the only country as well that called them pantyhose in the UK and most European countries it was called "sheer tights". They didn't become popular until Nylon (brand) redid them and boom they took off around '62
My grandma insists I should wear stockings because they're better hahaha I insist "grandma, the only people I know wears them are like porn actresses" probably a lot of other women still wear them but that's where I think it's more common haha
Nerd
I wear stockings because they are much more hygienic than pantyhose. I buy the ones that do not require a garter. I wear tights for winter.
"Garbage person who wants to learn manners" 😂😂 me
Abi Mitch manners are sexy.
As somebody who dresses in vintage every single day for years I have to say, at least they tried. But they really missed the mark here. To start with the obvious, the girdles are far too modern, and tights were not invented until 1959, meaning that unless they're going for that very specific pocket of time they should be wearing stockings with a garterbelt. Not to mention you should never base your assessment of a time period based on a singular book. It was not as if these "rules" were strictly followed all the time by every single woman. The book simply takes things to an absolute extreme. Yes, it would be uncommon to see a woman without a full face of makeup, but at the same it was not as if women were constantly held to a textbook image of themselves. Not to mention the video they constantly show clips of is from 1946, in which fashion was quite different from the mid to late fifties.
Which book were they using?
Sitting down into a chair in a skirt or dress, especially a very full and/or very long one, definitely requires a surprising amount of technique otherwise you can end up with a major wardrobe malfunction, or a rip, or even falling on the floor really hard. A gentleman holding a lady's chair evolved because the chair needed to be held safely while the lady backed up against it, aimed herself, and lowered onto it. Without someone to hold the it, the chair would go sliding and the lady would end up on the floor.
Very interesting comment. Needs more attention.
What's so bad about elbows on the table? I don't get it...
I get manners, but some of these things are so uptight, unless you're in like a formal setting
trutrue
ikr my mom always scolds me for that
WonderLizzz my mom stabbed me with a fork every time I put them on the table
Crystal M. Omg! Twinsies! Expect it was my tia who did it. 😂
Well it's very rude to put them on the table also very disgusting.
rafa's teeth are so beautiful??how?!!!
Chloe Widman
she brushes them..?
Chloe Widman uhh
xoxo Deb Lol if it were that easy, everyone would have beautiful teeth
Bhawna03 Everyone technically does have beautiful teeth it's just societies idle view that "beautiful teeth" are straight and pearly white. Everyone is beautiful however they were made.
rose968 When we actually know ours individually, and not the ones taught, it all depends on perspective though
Wow that's cool they used to wear tights all the time in the 50's. Everytime I wear a skirt or dress I wear tights with it and people think I'm weird. Irl, I'm just behind the times and also trying to hide my kinda hairy legs XD.
You are not weird, you are classy. I'd never think to wear a dress or skirt without nylons or tights depending on the season, and I think anyone who wears those with bare legs unless they are headed straight to the beach is trash.
Chocolat Tarte wow, someone sure is opinionated! Some of us don’t want to be constricted in sweat tights in the hot summer months and don’t mind having our legs showing! Do you hate shorts, too? Also, no one thinks that OP is weird for wearing tights. They’re very common.
Chocolat Tarte, that's the way it used to be. I remember getting my first office job and being surprised that some of the women did not wear pantyhose/stockings with dresses, even in the dead of winter. My mother and grandmother always stressed the importance of looking well-groomed for school/work/church and believed, as did many who came-of-age before the 60s sexual revolution, that women who did not wear stockings/pantyhose were 'tacky', 'loose', or 'trashy'. It took me a while to get with the times and toss out the pantyhose. Thankfully, women have the freedom now to dress however they wish!
velliekeltri, so it's ok for you to be opinionated, but not someone else? That's kind of odd, and it's also hypocritical.
Chocolat Tarte umm I live in a place where it's hot all the time and I would overheat if I wore them and tights always get ton uncomfortable positions
its interesting.... Being 23 y/o, i was always taught when in another peoples house as a guest including a relatives house, you NEVER slouched and sit straight up.
also the no elbow at the table rule. i mean my parents were never strict with the rules when to etiquette, but it has always stuck to me since childhood.
I wish we could still be like the 50s fashion , morals but not the racism and sexism.
Jessyamber Walker everyone was the same in the 1950s. There was hardly any individuality
Happy Papi yeeeesssss the way it is now is fine everyone with their own style
What's stopping you? I prefer our "You do you boo" culture more.
Rambo Baggins
“Without letting whites uphold and maintain it” that’s a very cute way of phrasing institutionalized racism.
LOL. There's way more sexism and racism now.
a lady should NEVER cross her legs
me: quickly uncrosses legs
What is wrong with being well groomed?
Really!? I never knew any of these. Not crossing my legs like that anymore. I think I should be sitting better at the table or sofa, might help with my back issues then. Thank you
This is not being well groomed its torturing yourself. A shower deodorant lotion brushed teeth and clean clothes is well groomed. Compression clothes not so much
@@strawberryvagablonde7926 crossing your legs at the ankles isn't bad for your leg viens
None of these are about grooming really. You can be well groomed and not follow these etiquette rules.
It’s apparently empowering to be disgusting and impolite now
So...not stockings and not a girdle, since they're wearing pantyhose and...I don't know, some kind of shaper? Not a girdle, anyway. Real stockings would need to be held up by a girdle or a garter, so if they'd actually bothered to get stockings, not pantyhose, that mistake likely wouldn't have happened.
And no, you wouldn't see the undergarments because you'd also be wearing a slip, which would cover them. I've worn girdles and stockings for full days, they're no more uncomfortable than wearing moden-day shapewear.
And pantyhose weren't around in the '50s.
I remember the slip.. I still have one. We used to wear them under our dresses and skirts. And I still wear pantyhose when I wear slacks and dresses. I should go back to dressing like this
You would have to make sure the lines were straight on stockings.
I hate how their titles never match the actual video... This was not a 'beauty routine', the only beauty thing you did was blush!
None of it was done as a "routine" here. And PANTYHOSE have absolutely nothing to do with wearing real thigh high stockings and a girdle to hold them up. Both can still be found in one form or another, especially the stockings, which can still be purchased from practically every major (and even some minor) department stores and women's shops. Yes, I've seen them. You had to have known what you were doing back then to buy them too. About a half dozen factors came in to play when determining size and style. Not just height and weight. But, very little if any of these things were researched or even taken into consideration, which made the whole thing come out more like a farce than an actual well researched project. Brushing some blush on your face, asking your friends if you look like a clown, and calling it done, certainly doesn't a "project" make!
Shari, point understood, but with regards to "Stockings", "Thigh highs" & "Pantyhose"; Pantyhose actually were around in the 1950's, they just were not called "Pantyhose" yet. This can be seen in movies from the 1950's like "stilk Stockings" (where Pantyhose were used because they wanted to show more leg, and "Daddy Long Legs", ... (this can also be seen in the leotard scenes in both movies) & various others. (The year 1960 didn't 'hit' at midnight and then 'Pantyhose' were born) (I know you are not saying that) :) ...numerous companies & loners were trying to make a 'nylon' version of 'tights' (one of them was Ann Miller requesting this to "Willies of Hollywood"). Thigh highs were not popular in the 50's or the 60's as the rubber / silicone grips were not used (i see you simply meant 'stockings'), so stockings (requiring garter belt) were still the most popular. It was approx' 1961 to '63 when Pantyhose (with the name or not) became more popular than stockings.
There's more the beauty than makeup
My grandma used her lipsticks as rouge. And she said moisturizing was always the best for your skin. I wear eye makeup only (when not in stage makeup) and moisturize a lot. Never had a breakout my whole life
not true dude....
I never realized I was raised like that wow. A lot of these 50’s manners I still do it out of habit lol
I must be the only viewer wondering where they got those girdles...
Sammme!
Lily Mansfield I’m sure you can find it online :)
nope
They can still be had from vintage lingerie shops, even online. And I DO mean the styles, not that they are true vintage. It would be highly unlikely at this point that any of the real rubber portions wouldn't have deteriorated by now if they were true vintage wear. Besides, they used to be worn by SOME women in lieu of panties! 🤤 Who'd want to wear that after someone else?? 😲
Back then there were shops that made custom fit girdles , bras and corsets.
We were pretty obsessed with our silhouettes in the 50’s. we never really got rid of girdles, more like adapted them with tight clothing styles.
Rouge was used because pale foundation was common, and being pale was a fad for the rich. Rouge made them look less dead.
Stockings were hard to get since fabric was in shortage, so again a sign or wealth.
Don’t cross at the knee, you cross at the ankles or ankles together and off to the side. Knees always together.
Good manners have really been there for a century or two. Again, a show or wealth. The buttering thing was 1. To protect her makeup that always came off gross. 2. Often you wouldn’t have a lot of butter so it was best to take sparingly and 3. Diets
I know a lot of this seemed pretty ridiculous but men had stupid etiquette too. Maybe not the same style but there was some silly things
Personally I don’t think etiquette was a bad thing and I do promote it, but some things could change. But I find improper etiquette when faced with new people or people of different status to be rather insulting and rude.
I'm not sure about anyone else from the UK 🇬🇧 but I'm sure everyone still does those manners today
Lilly Taylor My head teacher at primary school used to yell at us if we put our elbows on the table, or slouched 😂
Same Americans are so weird
I'm from the Philippines and I grew up with those table manners (taught mostly by my grandmas). In addition we were also taught to not talk when the mouth is full, to not chew loudly and with the mouth open, to not fill up your plate, to only fill your cup/glass 3/4 full, to fold the napkin in half when putting it on your lap... and so many other rules!
I am from the US and these manners were things I learned around 5 years old. Not sure why they were such a big deal in this video...
Jenni Ross most of the people today don't do these things
I love the 1950s💖
Antonia Xo : You probably love the "IDEA" of the 50's. Reality varied greatly depending on race, education, income, neighborhood, region (north south, rural western plains) etc. Hollywood was a nice escape from real life.
@@janeeli “Acted much better than they do now” LMFAOO u gotta be kidding , please learn how to think for yourself
I honestly don't see the issue. Learning to have proper manners is crucial.
These aren't manners, these are etiquette. It's not exactly the same. You aren't necessarily being rude if you don't have etiquette. People would just judge you and think you're low class.
Who’s to say what is “proper” ?
WHO WEARS STOCKINGS WITH SANDALS
with the exception of mothers and grandmums in pumps, every young lady at Easter mass...
TeenDream888 Easter mass?
Milena Flotzinger on Easter Day, Catholics celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ by going to mass. since it's an important religious day, people take care to dress doubly nice. the weather is usually warm, so a lot of younger girls wear tights and dress sandals.
TeenDream888 oooh EASTER MASS hahaha my brain really didn't want to work 🤷🏻♀️ yeah you're right. I was more talking about the fashionable side tho. Religion wasn't really what I meant with that
Milena Flotzinger i suggest you head over to Florida. plenty of people who wear both socks and sandals as well as pantyhose and sandals. and that's the tamer side of the crowd.
I love 1950's fashion 😍
i love the 50’s fashion and etiquette
I lowkey want a girdle.
They sell them at Walmart but get the right size unlike these gals
@@eliza9011 Please dont get Walmart girdles, they hurt, they are uncomfortable and have a cheap feel
@@hannamadsen mmmm not really lol. If you get one that fits and is decently made they are very comfortable.
@@ezzie9167 yeah but I was talking about Walmart girdles
A good way to get rouge or blush right, is to apply it BEFORE you apply a finishing powder. So, light coat of base or moisturizer... then cream rouge or powder blush...then light powder- will last all day.
Many of us could benefit from some attention to our personal habits.
6:05 Turn on English subtitles.
You'll thank me later.
Helga 😂😂😂
Lol that is not what she meant to say
Helga 😂😂😂
Me to man
xD
i doubt teenage girls actually followed these in the 50's unless they were with a table of people or out or something. Just like us today
Kimberly Balgoa I can affirm for a fact - oh, yes they did. Teenagers in those days didn't have the freedom to rebel like teenagers do today. For better or for worse.
Kimberly Balgoa I agree
ThomasFromTN very true!
Kimberly Balgoa Compared to the present, I think women were a little bit more modest in their everyday habits compared with how the average woman today acts.
Kimberly Balgoa they did, i asked all my elder ladies in my fam... every era has there thing
I have something similar to the underwear, it's high wasted and I absolutely love it.
I think it's the clasps that really push on your stomach that they didn't like.
i personally believe theres nothing wrong with etiquette requirements so long as it's expected that people are all expected to uphold certain norms.
there's nothing wrong with wanting a polite society lol
just the part where they say 'do things because it will make you more attractive' is kinda questionable, i think.
We didn't have pantyhose until the late sixties. Before that we wore individual "nylon stockings" held up with garters that either hung down from your girdle, or if you were thin enough you just wore a garter belt. Pantyhose were a blessing at the time! And don't get me started about feminine protection!
Wow the blue dress the blonde woman wore in the end is adorable
As a black woman, I could agree with this my grandma 👵 was classy flawless a time when ladies were ladies and men were men 💯
*gentlemen were gentlemen. the opposite of a woman is a man, not the opposite of a lady
Sophia N that doesn’t mean her grandma wasn’t a classy and flawless woman....the opinions of whites don’t determine the truth/aren’t the most important m.
We had flavor, style, and class back then puuhleeze black culture was poppin' back then. We just weren't as assimilated into white culture as we are now, in a sense we more knew who we were...
RIght.
rip men and women. all we got today are little boys and girls running around being stupid.
It made me cringe that her mom told her she could not feel free to sit however she felt in her own home because she's a girl. Paying attention to manners when you have company is one thing. Feeling like you have to look pretty and proper all the time in your own home just because you're a girl is absolutely ridiculous. Shame on mothers who perpetuate this.
MsZephyra doesn't every mother do this? :'3 sadly gender roles are forced on people
And shame on mothers who tell their sons they can be girls if they want. There's a healthy medium but parenting was better than than it is today. There's a reason there weren't so many people with "anxiety" "depression" and other mental diseases back then.
Chocolat Tarte I've determined that you are a troll xD
Chocolat Tarte i think you also neglect the fact that families didn't see doctors for mental health issues very often, and that most people didn't discuss mental health. it was a closeted issue, so obviously there's less documentation on it. nowadays, people run to a doctor for every little sniffle, it's actually quite sad. as for parenting, you need to look into the factors of religion and morals, as well as the character that shaped post-WWII society in America.
Ik. Let me sit the way I want at home -_- especially after a long day of work or school
I've always worn a steel boned corset probably since I was 14. It's really helped me build confidence and I never see myself going without one
Wow!
"We are more respectful today"....
What world does she live in? People today are mouthy and rude constantly. Just read YT comments sometimes. Apparently she never has.
Serenadesong: Even to the point of bumper stickers being nasty! I agree with you! Is it a lack of brains in some people? or the chemtrails?
Im sure we dont freak out if another race sits next to us on the bus or use the same public facilities apart from extreme cases. At least we dont pour acid in a pool while other people are using it
Honey Maple: I don't get your point...I've NEVER heard of acid in a pool!
i guess that's why u think the 50s was a fine place

Im not saying everything about the past is bad. Im just saying, it was worse. and our loss of memory of it and ignorance is making an effort to glorify such times while insulting the progress we have made today.
I'd take YT comments over all of the examples i gave, anytime, any day
Am I the only one that is annoyed that she highligted in an old book??
yes it was so pretty and antique and she highlighted in it 😑
It made my stomach turn watching it that beautiful book destroyed by that brat
So what
Its still a book
I WAS SO PISSED EVERY TIME AUGH. SHE RUINED IT
Am I the only person who doesn't eat corn with butter?
You savage
Shiro yeah
Bru I get that mayo and cheese 🧀 and chili 🌶 or if not lemon 🍋 and chili 🌶
i dip corn in chilisauce or ketchup but never use butter lol
i also like it just the way it is
Just gonna say: Buzzfeed films all of their videos months before they go up. They really aren't copying anyone. Don't reply to this.
ChirpNDerp I'm a rebel
Mary Bob me too
Safiya said that BuzzFeed doesn't prefilm as much as we think they do. This can't be used to excuse possible copying.
ChirpNDerp replied
ChirpNDerp haha
Women in the 1950s had whole routines for their make up, it was put on in certain ways, with certain products, and was much more involved! If you're going to do 50's makeup, 💄then for heavens sake, *DO* 50's makeup! There are whole books 📚 on the subject, some very well done, with guidelines, pictures and other information, to show you how to do it all properly! *Study* a book 📘 about *how* to do it, before you get on camera 📽and start blathering along about "rouge." My grandmothers both used real rouge almost all their lives, and they knew how to do it well. It never looked flakey, or fake, and it suited their coloring. But then, it wasn't the only thing they did, either. There was a whole multi-product routine they both followed day and night too, to keep their skin nice.
And as far as how the girdle -stocking thing went, it didnt!! They all *CHEATED* with pantyhose!! 😲 There was *NO* Pantyhose until the 1960's with the advent of mini skirts. Stocking tops and garters would always show under those short hemlines, and pushed the mass production of what had been around since the 1940's, but only for Hollywood actresses and dancers! Only if you were a dancer/movie star in Hollywood, and wore them in the movies, so a girdle and garters wouldn't show in short costumes, or of very full skirts that showed your matching panties when you danced and your skirts flew up and out. Thank dancer Ann Miller for that, back in the 1940's! She's the one who designed the dancers silk and later nylon tights just for that. They were a special made garment, and were very expensive, for costumers in the movies to rely on when they designed movie costumes.
It would have made completely perfect sense to tie the wearing of the girdle in with the wearing of stockings. Stockings - thigh hi's some call them - are still available for sale in any women's hosiery department in just about any department store, right down to K-Mart! You absolutely *HAD* to have a girdle of some kind (or a garter belt, at the very least) with garters attached to the special little hooks around the bottom of the girdle to hold your stockings *UP!* You had to put on the bra and panties first, then making sure your garters were attached properly, with usually two garters for each leg, one in the front, and one in the back, and THEN you rolled up the stockings one at a time in your hands until you get down to the ankle part and the foot part is still loose at the bottom, THEN you slipped each one on, one at a time, over your foot, and working it up slowly and carefully past your ankles, up over your calves and up to your thighs, where you get to the top. Then, holding on to the stocking in one hand, you reach around under your thigh for the back garter, slip the stocking top in between the two pieces of the "catch" and fasten it shut, making sure you have enough of the stocking top trapped inside the catch to hold it firmly. Then, you can do the same with the garter at the front of your leg. And you're ready to repeat the process with the other leg. Remember, the stockings of the 1950's weren't stretchy at all, because they hadn't yet devised a way to produce latex fibers that could be woven into the fabric that makes up stockings, so they were made in many different sizes, for the length of the legs above and below the knee, as well as the thickness of your legs, plus shoe size to account for foot sizes! They ALSO were what they called "Full Fashioned," meaning the legs weren't made like a tube, they were flat first, and then turned into a leg-shaped tube by sewing them together, leaving that infamous seam up the back of the legs, as well as a darker reinforced toe, sole of the foot, right up the back of the heel, up close to the ankle! Because the nylon yarn used to weave the stockings had no stretch, they were constantly developing a "baggy" look around the ankles, as well as the knees! Not good, but there wasn't anything that could be done about it until they designed the nylon stocking with stretchy yarns in them to give them some "snap back" properties.
The back part of the heels showed above the back of your shoe, and came in several shapes, each of which had names. Like a "Cuban heel" for instance. Some were blocky, or square, while others finished off the heel in a point that joined right in with the seam, like it was pointing right up the back of your leg! 😉 As for those seams, they could be made in different colors to be worn with different shades of fashionable evening wear, by changing the color of the thread used to mechanically sew up the stockings at the back. And they were definitely meant to be seen, but *never* crooked! Seams were expected to always be "arrow straight," and if they werent, then that made you quite the slob if you did it regularly, like you didn't care.
SO, you had to be able to pick out the proper shade of hosiery for your dress, suit or skirt with which you intend to wear them, or just for regular daily wear; the style and color of the heel and the seam; the "denier" or sheerness/thickness of the material woven to make them, whether they were extra sheer for evening wear with formal wear, up to and including what they called "Service weight" which was a heavier, less see-through fabric for daily wear at home, likely doing housework, cooking, etc. This was affected by how many little sharp needles were used at any given time in the knitting machinery to produce them. Then there is the type of fabric in itself, PLUS the biggie - your size! Short/petite, average, tall, extra tall for length; then junior, average, full or "outsized" (for "plus sized" or heavy, or extra full legs) for the circular dimensions of your legs. Don't forget the shoe size too, for the foot portion to be the proper length! Whew! That's just the shopping part! Since the stockings don't stretch yet, you also had to be worn and handled gently and carefully so as not to pull a run in them, or, in British terms, "ladder them!" That was usually the kiss of death for all but the heavier "Service Weight" variety, which were usually made of rather tough material. Those could actually be mended or "darned" like a sock could be repaired. Of course it wasn't an invisible repair, even for the most talented seamstress, but it did extend the life of the stocking for "Service Weight" wear occassions.
Nurses had special stocking needs, for certain reasons. Their stockings, always in white, and in certain denier or weight, of certain weaves of certain kinds of fabrics, (and not the see-thru variety!) were required for uniform wear. Some nursing schools required that beginning students, (or even students through the whole program) to wear black shoes and stockings with their uniforms, until either they pass the preliminary or probationary courses and become "Full fledged" student nurses, at which point they could change to white shoes and stockings. But, the other courses which required students to wear black until graduation, left the white shoes and stockings to appear with the rest of their new white graduate uniforms at the very ceremony which made them graduates.
In any case, they REALLY missed the boat on the girdle and stockings! Especially considering that girdles came in several styles, the two biggest divisions being the "panty girdle" type with legs to step into, AND the tubular kind, which you also had to be very careful putting on, so that everything aligned properly, since there were no legs to step into to guide you! It was just like wearing a giant sized rubber band, with snaps, and/or hooks and eyes, or straps, eyelets with very tough strings in them to pull and tie. Imagine the load of work ahead of you each time you go to the "john!" 🤔 And they would have found that the problem of all the little "twiddly bits" would not have shown through their clothing, had they gone on to finish dressing like proper 1950's housewives did, and put on a slip, which was worn underneath their DRESSES! 👗 Plus, the proper shoes - with at least a 1-1/2" or 2" heel. 👠? No, not stilettos! But a nice thicker heeled pump, which, in the proper size, width and style, were exceedingly comfortable. 😉
My mom put on lipstick when she went out--no routine, just red lipstick. Almost ALL the moms were like that back then.
What books? I'm interested in 1950s makeup
I love 1950s etiquette and fashion. It's so pretty and classy!
I feel like the 50s were a great time for fashion and manners. Everyone was expected to keep their shoulders back, speak intelligently and hold themselves to a certain standard. I guess it looked cleaner than it does now to me??? Idk, what do you guys think.
I feel like they complained too much, like come on, it's just a few days. Do it right
They're told to review and describe the experience that means going over the negatives
Gynocentrists love to complain as they are rewarded by matriarchal societies for it.
They have #firstworldproblems and are completely self entitled without realizing it
michellemartinez1994 same !
right they didn't even try, poor attitude
This is why buzzfeed is going downhill... because all they care about is getting as many videos out as fast as possible. These 1 day challenges are boring, I want to see the full week or month video challenges
Abby Okarski buzzfeed going down is because of their race baiting videos .
Cast NJ they haven't made one of those in months.
The whole video was bad. I thought they would have wore all the things at once too. The one lady didn't even do half the challenge. Saying she wore leggings anyway. Leggings and panty hose are way different, lol.
penny slone As a Muslim she couldn't have worn the pantihose because Muslim women are not permitted to show their legs.
as a mulsim she is allowed to show whatebver she wants. if shes showing her face and the shape of her body she is already in defiance of several rules of several people. some muslim women dont even wear a hijab. obviously every person makes their own rules since every rule of the quran can never ever be kept by any one person at a time. also if shes going to be in these kinds of videos she should have to do all the chalenges or dont participate in the dan video. its as if she would have been in a hair video and been like: im not going to do this cause my hair is already made - shows hijab. it doesnt do for an interesting video if she wont show her hair cause shes musim or she wont kiss a random person cause shes muslim. be a producer if you cant participate
Rafa's rouge actually looked great! It was just the right amount for a rather discrete vintage look
For the elbow one, my grandpa taught us a chant one Christmas dinner that we would say and its stuck with us since ex. "Sarah, Sarah, strong and able, keep your elbows off the table."
I love the 50s ❤❤❤
*RANDOM QUESTION*
Favorite musical?

Astropony Blast01 2 girls 1 cup it's really pretty
Dear Evan Hansen

Astropony Blast01 I'm tied between "Assassins" and "Sweeney Todd". Gotta love Sondheim!!
I think we all should follow etiquette and not just females...
Not all etiquettes but enough to have manners to say please and thank you and being able to wear white for an entire day without messing up..
Watching this I realised my mum pretty much used this when raising me and my brothers.... except for the dressing and make up.
I love the fashion from the 50s so much. I also love kids, cooking, and vintage things haha, I think I could fit in.
I love the 50's. Everyone is so elegant and beautiful and happy.
Need ladylike back.
I personally think ladylike should disappear. It can cause self consciousness and never knowing if your doing it right. At least thats what it does to me plus its unfair that women should hold onto those things when men never stick to the gym stereotypes and that they need to be built and muscular at all times
Arianna Chase I belive she is referring to the Ladylike Ladies women who work for the Boldly channel. Not the actual lady like stereotype. Correct me if im wrong tho.
They have their own channel.....? Go follow them?
Arianna Chase she was talking about the Ladylike Series
Watch safiya's videos they're 100 times better
I'm a very slouchy and loungey person so seeing these guidelines was really eye opening and dare I say, helpful. Maybe I should implement a few in my day to day life, idk.
You don't put your elbows on the table because you'll get food on em and/or flip plates onto the floor. Common sense, really. As for eating oranges, when questioned how one was to eat an orange, my grandmother always said "in the kitchen", lol. And yes, corn skewers have been used since... since corn, basically. Rules for sitting down are basically so you don't end up accidentally flashing your undies to the room or tripping over your heels/skirts. Bottom line, etiquette rules begin as good ideas for not doing stupid things in public, then get passed down generationally without the benefit of context, until you're just doing them so as not to break the rules, long after the original reason has evaporated.
You hit the nail on the head!
cuban heels are my fav, also i always learned to keep my elbows off the table
The sitting thing helps with posture. Ever notice how old men have hunched backs but old women, while small, for the most part have straight backs? Posture! The sitring up straight does so much good in old age and works super well in offices. It reduces back pain in the long term
I have a similar etiquette book and I think it's proper to be a kind mannered lady . I wear dresses every day already and I love the 50s outfits and manners
I was wearing stockings (not pantyhose) in my twenties with garters. i loved it. Girdles too.
Hopefully you still do!
Minus the racism and sexism the 1950s weren't that bad
Rainia Wright wait then whats left
Rainia Wright minus the racism only
Dana K Stop trying to be a troll. You're really bad at it.
you cant compare the two, thats extremely disrespectful to holocaust victims
the music, the movies yknow in terms of its pop culture, its fashion etc and the social justice movement began back then, look at people like marlon brando and marilyn monroe who really led the way in that because they understood their white privilege, the 50s without its sexism and racism was just like todays society except for its difference in communication, because of having no social media dating and going out with friends was more frequent because it was really the only way other than phone calls if you could afford it
As a historian,I’m crying watching this .
I lived with my grandmother when I was growing up - she was born in 1906, so yeah, there are some things I do that are definitely old-fashioned (everything from loving old-fashioned candy, like jaw-breakers, to sitting with a straight back and my ankles crossed)!
Oh my, I thought Mia was chantel. She sounds exactly like her
Isabelle jean-Louis same!
Do men's version now
Raven Angel sooooo many young men need to learn manners. Don't spit in public. Don't swear in public, or at least in front of someone who could be your abuela! Pull up your pants. I could go on.
Haha there won't be any rules or guidelines then 😂
Jenny Winstrop You're wrong. Men and boys have to follow etiquette, women aren't victims here.
Rylee Johnson Exactly man were raised to basically cater to women as gentleman so they had their standards to keep up with two
Yes and for God's sake stop snorting their snot!!!
Who are these women that don't have to shave their legs when wearing stockings???
🙋
I know then your leg hair poke through! Lol not that it really matters its just hair.
coolsisters DANIEL lucky you
Mel S i were stockings every day but I also shave my legs every day just because.
Mel S The stockings wouldn't be sheer like today's, so hair didn't poke through - especially as you didn't shave your legs that often do the hair was longer as lay flat lol!
Actually my grandma had always teaching me those things with the elbows on the table, with the blush on the cheeks, sitting and eating properly and wearing stockings. She was wearing stockings all the time and had lipstick all the time. I mean, she is a lady both in character and appearance.
“all the kids needed to be at the door waiting for the grandpa to come from work”
what? my little brother still does that and so do i(well, not everyday but..). i feel like it’s just really nice to open the door and see your kids waiting for you ^^
I get the sense that some women today feel more limited than women back then......
Yeah and I dunno why
ive been thinking about getting a girdle just because im small already but just to have something hugging me?? always wanted something like that.
Try the internet under: SHAPEWEAR.
I was taught all of these things and do them all besides lots of rouge & always wearing tights! I’m 25! Lol
Sarah, I absolutely LOVE your style! The outfits you wore in this segment were incredible!!
My family is almost an era behind. My mom learned art and instruments, and i grew up with learning the 50S type of manners (I'm 33) my moms was the first born in America so yea lol. Until 3yrs ago I'd have a nice dress on, heels an be coifed to serve dinner at informal settings (think of an episode of "i love Lucy" before little Ricky was born) but in this I think the blush looked so pretty on RAFA(?)
