My cousin's prom dress from high school 6 years ago was an old dress from 1838 and she wore a corset with it. She was the most popular kid for her entire junior year because of having the best outfit at prom and for her prom date proposing to her in the parking lot of their school after prom was over. Sadly, when she returned to school after summer break, people started calling her "medieval freak" and picking on her for wearing the dress and doing her history project slideshow on the history of Indian women's fashion. She told me that people loved her slideshow too and she also told me that nobody even cared about her dress or slideshow until the next school year. Also, the only people picking on her were the people who showed this much interest in her dress and slideshow. After the school year was over, she completely lost her interest in historic woman's fashion and she now works as a bartender. She could've made a great carrier out of her passion but her classmates ruined it for her in high school.
Here's the thing, those of you complaining that fashions these days aren't to your liking. Great, nobody is telling you to buy what's in the high street. Wear 20's if you like 20's, wear Elizabethan if you like, no one is stopping you! Do what makes you happy, in our era we have the gift of CHOICE, if you choose to lament old fashion but wear high street clothes (that you apparently don't like) you're just being hypocritical.
Unfortunately fashion is dictated by social acceptance more than taste. If one were to wear an Elizabethan attire in public, they would be stared and laughed at by strangers and ridiculed by their close friends and family. Got to love human nature, am I right?
On the eve of the end of the first decade of the twenty first century-it is amazing to see the many faces of women's garments-each decade blossoms into another evolution of it's former self-simply amazing-HAPPY NEW YEAR
Interesting video: I am actually a little surprised that the reactions to fashions came around more often then expected (fashions are always grouped in decades and centuries, you know) - just look at the headgear during this and the other year by year vid. I say that each and every single trend - fashion included - has always had positive and negative sides. The periods included here are no exceptions.
I probably have commented before but I just love this video, it needs to be watched a few times, it is easy to miss the interesting and subtle changes from year to year, especially in the early part of the video, thumbs up to you!
It is amazing to think of the level of change people born in the middle half of the 19th century experienced in terms of fashion alone. Someone who was born in 1850 could've lived to see both the large luxurious cotton dresses of their youths and the simple elegancy of the early 40s, even the early 50s if they lived so long. I feel like we've come so far and now there's nothing else left to do but GO BACK and take from fashions of the past, but I doubt that will happen. Modern fashion is either ridiculously simple and casual, or nauseatingly trite (see 'snapbacks', the strange return of balloon pants, and anything from either Drake or Kanye West's fashion lines).
@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen because after 1910 the world began changing drastically to what it is now, values were changing and aesthetics were and people’s morals, for the better I think.
Well, that's the whole point. That clothes (let's not call it fashion, for a moment) were adapted to war circumstances. So when people had to make clothes, they made them with the available materials, and thus they were less bulky (because of less materials available), and in the case of WW2, square shoulders and no-nonsense look prevailed for women, a more "soldierly" look if you like. That's why in 1947 there was the ultra-feminine New Look by Dior, to forget about WW2.
Fabulous! I think the '40s and '70s were definitely my favorite decades in fashion. I'm the rare person who doesn't care for Regency, and I love the '60s, so the '40s are a good compromise. Same for '70s; I just think the '80s styles were too restrictive. Also, just curious: Which version of Venus is this?
For a better understanding of women's fashion history (there isn't any for panties prior to about 1935 & adaptations much like diapers in the Sears catalogue) try Googling "Chemise" for what women wore under their skirts (the only thing that they ever wore... if anything at all.. under their skirts) ... probably since the invention of clothing or the Time of sewing together a few leaves to newly discovered nakedness in the Garden of Eden (see also Shift),
The 1821 dress with the posies is so cute! And I love the green dress from 1845, and the 1856 white dress with the roses is gorgeous! OOH, and I love the dresses from 1877-81! But I'd have to say my favorites were from 1905,1909,1912,and on. If I could pick an era to live in, I would either pick the 1700's, or the twenties, thirties and forties. They were so glamorous! ( And I just noticed this is a really long message! )
Enjoyed this. Just thanking God that I don't have to wear some of the garments worn by our ancestors. Can you imagine trying to wash dishes, paint your bedroom or hang wallpaper, bathe the baby, milk a cow, plant a garden, work in an office, drive a car .... just add your own thoughts.... it would be impossible to do today and probably difficult back then. Not everyone had servants.. or even sisters, cousins or a mom to help get dressed. Again..Thank God for my jeans and tees.
Best 100 years of fashion - 1810 to 1910 - ladies dress was stunning - long dresses, big hats, exquisite embroidery, bustles, crinolines, corsets and shapely women! KAN 7.19 UK
Sorry abut that but the stuff after 1893 that I dug up was just examples for each year rather than a comprehensive history of design. Personally I think the First World War liberated women from corsets: they were inconvenient for work and governments needed the steel to make guns: women didn't bother to go back to them. It can be seen that most of the women aren't wearing corsets in the pics from about 1919/20.
thank you so much i have always been interested in western culture, i watch classicla movies i love them, and everytime i see women fashion in whatever movie i am watching i try to trace back the date and time of the era. i m not at all into the 20s fashion i love the 30s but 40s and 60s and late 1800s and early 1900s are my favorite. love the 50s as well its very glamorous lots of glitter diamonds and bejeweled gowns.
Beautiful historical clothes, but awfully repressive for women, especially in the 19th century. Even day wear required corsets (worn tight). Women had myriad health problems related to wearing corsets - frequent fainting the least of these. To me, the fashions in the 1950's were the most beautiful, feminine and flattering for women. There was an elegance and simplicity. I agree that we should all dress the way we want (although, what I wouldn't give to never see a gimme/advertising/stupid
me gusta el vida es muy detallado y completo, me recuerda a todas las pelicuals que he visto de esas épocas como Orgullo y Prejuicio y a Downton Abbey porque transcurría el tiempo y la moda.
I'm a fashion designer and I have to disagree with some comments on here. I do not applud designers for elminating the corset. I loved when women were women and men were men. I loved the idea of women having to "dress" daily. The gowns, the gloves, corsets, petticoats...lovely elegance. I do so love Chanel though and what she did for fashion. Poiret- not so much.
the immediate source is given in the 'credits' at the end. Where the main source for the 1795-1893 images obtained them I'm not sure but think it was a book published in the 1890's reproducing old periodical fashion plates.
Agree! Although most women have curvy bodies, it is considered ugly and fat. Today's ideals are sick. Why can't we just accept that women have curves, like they did back in the days?
@FuelledByForties Except Lady Gaga in the meat dress is only representative of Lady Gaga, this dresses while not quite universal were meant to be used on a daily basis (or in parties).
Well, Coco was very wrong to do so. Honestly, the way we women look now, we do need corsets! Women should dress up and take pride in the way we onced dressed with such class and elegance.
Ooh, I agree with you on the bad fashion ideas. I personnally love the fashion of 1819 (for example), but hate 1835 one. I think it looks a little bit ridiculous compared to the simplicity of Regency look.
I'm putting together a something for 1949 to 1980 with three frames to a year - have got to 1977. It's may be that the transition is from winter 1924/5 to winter 1926/7 between 1925 and 1926 - and the same for 1930-1931. Ideally it should have showed two seasons per year the sources I used weren't specific enough.
7:39 : Christian Dior "New Look" but we didn't see any Coco Chanel suit..... Why ? Coco Chanel freed women from the corset... Coco Chanel gave women freedom....
Exactly! It is the fault of the medias because they only present thin models and therefore put into people's mind that this is the only look we should want/desire. And it is society's fault for accepting this. I find it hard to see some of girlfriends wanting to lose weight, going through starvation and other methods to lose weight in order to present themselves the way they're told they should. It's just cruel.
I like how the bell bottom dresses got ridiculously big until 1868. I guess cotton got more expensive so big bell bottom dresses wasn't the norm anymore lol
Corsets that we mostly think of today we’re probably out of style in the 1920’s-30’s. If you look up corsets in the 1920’s you’d see That the became more thin and lower.
Tight lacing corsets didn't really become a big issue until the mid 1890s which led to the invention of the health corset in 1900, which were less restrictive. Corsets were used up until the early-mid 1920s but they were much different than those of the Victorian period.
I agree that one should be free to dress as one likes, each of us expressing his/her personality. In theory you can, but in practice, if you're a corporate businesswoman or a lady lawyer and you appear in a company meeting or in court, I'm not saying in a corset and bustled skirt, but even in a regular contemporary dress (those you see girls wearing all the time) with a flowery print, you won't be taken seriously. It's infuriating, and I'd love to see it changed, but that's the way it is.
What happened in 1911? It looks like 1800's. and it seems women's dress got more activity after then. I want to try corset and classical western dress though it will not looks well on Asian like me. I love these classical clothes.
this is great! does anyone remember the parts in the book Gone With the Wind how Scarlett talks about how Grandmother Robillard used to wear her petticoats soaking wet and then slightly wrung out so it would show off her legs? Did anyone really do that?
The common theory is that if it actually happened that it happened with women who were not considered respectable at private parties. The thin muslin, when wet, goes totally transparent. It's the sort of thing people talk about other people having done but no one actually will ever admit to doing it.
You have the right to like whatever you want, but you got it all wrong about the spirit of those decades. The '80s started an era of complete freedom: there was the official fashion (shoulder pads and all) but you could actually wear whatever you liked! Contrary to the '60s and '70s where everybody dressed the same. I know what I'm talking about, I was there, I was a child in the '60s, a teenager in the '70s and a young woman in the '80s!
you should compile and post more videos all the way u p until now i'd like to see how each era's fashion changes thanks for posting it, those were some amazing images!
@MelanieLouM By hand, with soap that barely was usable :( Though not everytime it a piece of cloth was used. If you had money other people did it for you, if you didn't... :(
The best... 1795-1810 (Looks similar to Early 1910s), 1877-81 nice, flowing, less restrictive... then anything after 1922. The worst.... Late 1820s -1830s, The sleeves were ridiculous. Everything was wrong...then again in 1892-96. Same weird problem, Mutton Sleeves. They returned in the 198Os, another nightmare fashion decade.
Some of these responses are really disappointing... Like people comparing some of these clothes to casual clothes worn today?? I guess people don't understand the concept of high fashion. If you even take a glance at what designers put out on the runway you'll know that our fashion standards are still very high. What you see in the video probably doesn't reflect what the common woman wore at the time... so comparing these costumes to something the average teen wears today is honestly disgraceful.
It does reflect what woman wore at the time, before the 60s/70s woman would have never left the house without a hat and gloves, even the poorest. And it didn't need to come from a catwalk either, today we have no shape or style
wow... those earlier fashions haunts me, I aint comfortable with the style, but i love the victorian era, except for the small waist line aand big bustles. I'm quite surprised that during the 1900's there was a big rise in the hem, don't you think it was attributed because of the war and women's rights? dunno...

The hair style and dress of 1840's were simply the top of elegance.
Here you can see 1840's hairstyle

War and shortages of fabric had a great deal to do with clothes becoming simpler and with less fabric.

You can find pretty feminine outfits today. If that's your cup of tea. Just my opinion.
i have no idea why, but the music together with the mild color theme makes this video really unsettling and i just cant figure it out
I sometimes wonder if the title"Venus bringer of
peace" isn't ambiguous in a wicked sort of way.

High fashion back then was 10 times better than high fashion now, which is mostly trashy with no class or elegance. That's just my opinion.
Gabriella in relation to some of the normal clothing back then a lot of these looks would’ve been considered trashy and even vulgar for that time.
I guess it is quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online?

Women's hems start to shorten in war years, when governments imposed cloth rations and economy in dressmaking.
interesting, it's like a fashion history
look how much the cloth changes, i'm glad it's tshirt time now
I just want to add that bras may not be as constrictive as corsets- they are still binding and we still wear them for society.
I would give up all modern luxuries just to live back then. Women were so elegant and classy.

I wish the images would be left up 2 or 3 times as long, they just go by too fast. Otherwise, interesting video.

The clothes were very stylish and awesome in the past
@NobodysFool001 Seriously though the clothes up until the 1900's must have weighed a lot. Besides only the wealthiest dressed quite like that.
very nicely done!
dra1000 wow your the first comment
what year was the corset finally out of style? looking at those fashionable tiny waists, must have created a lot of health risks
Joye Briggs they never really went out of style, but transformed into girdles.
Corsets that we mostly think of today we’re probably out of style in the 1920’s-30’s. If you look up corsets in the 1920’s you’d see That the became more thin and lower.
And fainting on the streets.

It was obligatory for women till 1905/6

It's infuriating, and I'd love to see it changed, but that's the way it is.
Fantastic video!!!
I think the best styles were between 1890 and 1910
Yay! bring back the hobble skirt
oh thx for sharing very beautiful, I like fashion from 1870 to 1900 best ^^
What happened in 1911? It looks like 1800's. and it seems women's dress got more activity after then.
I want to try corset and classical western dress though it will not looks well on Asian like me. I love these classical clothes.
So many hats!
this is great! does anyone remember the parts in the book Gone With the Wind how Scarlett talks about how Grandmother Robillard used to wear her petticoats soaking wet and then slightly wrung out so it would show off her legs? Did anyone really do that?

how the heck does fashion go from slim silhouette to fat ass dresses then back to ridiculously tiny waists again, we people have no imagination
i really want to be able to wear a corset and dress like that :(
I paused as the empire waist went up, and up until the breasts were located somewhere around the collar bone... that looked rather uncomfortable.
You have the right to like whatever you want, but you got it all wrong about the spirit of those decades. The '80s started an era of complete freedom: there was the official fashion (shoulder pads and all) but you could actually wear whatever you liked! Contrary to the '60s and '70s where everybody dressed the same. I know what I'm talking about, I was there, I was a child in the '60s, a teenager in the '70s and a young woman in the '80s!
what is the song playing in the background?

thanks for posting it, those were some amazing images!
@MelanieLouM By hand, with soap that barely was usable :( Though not everytime it a piece of cloth was used. If you had money other people did it for you, if you didn't... :(
Who's watching this in 2021?
beautiful !....what is the music ?
The best... 1795-1810 (Looks similar to Early 1910s), 1877-81 nice, flowing, less restrictive... then anything after 1922. The worst.... Late 1820s -1830s, The sleeves were ridiculous. Everything was wrong...then again in 1892-96. Same weird problem, Mutton Sleeves. They returned in the 198Os, another nightmare fashion decade.
I love them all....but I think I Love the Regency Period best of all.
Some of these responses are really disappointing... Like people comparing some of these clothes to casual clothes worn today?? I guess people don't understand the concept of high fashion. If you even take a glance at what designers put out on the runway you'll know that our fashion standards are still very high.
What you see in the video probably doesn't reflect what the common woman wore at the time... so comparing these costumes to something the average teen wears today is honestly disgraceful.
It does reflect what woman wore at the time, before the 60s/70s woman would have never left the house without a hat and gloves, even the poorest. And it didn't need to come from a catwalk either, today we have no shape or style
Actually most of them did. There wasn't the freedom there is today.
If you watch videos from 1890 you would see even ordinary women still covered up in their dresses and wearing hats/bonnets.
Even non wealthy women wore better clothes
What designers place on the runway is some weird stuff.
At one time they believed that women with large hips where more fertile, they reason for the dresses - they made the hips look bigger.
wow... those earlier fashions haunts me, I aint comfortable with the style, but i love the victorian era, except for the small waist line aand big bustles. I'm quite surprised that during the 1900's there was a big rise in the hem, don't you think it was attributed because of the war and women's rights? dunno...
Make that 'bringer of peace' from Holst's 'the Planets'.
where can i get the 1st pic from 1797??
well done thanks
Beautiful Video! Applause! :)
Is it me, or that I actually prefer the old fashion rather than the new one.
its not you in the slightest.
