Women didn't tight lace their corsets. That's a myth. while they did wear corsets, the invention of the crinoline as well as voluminous skirts, helped create a "tiny" waist, by tricking the eye. There are several cos-tubers that go into detail about it.
I noticed the same, perpetuating the myth that tightlacing was common.
@@CFinch360 Yup. It's unfortunate, and all we can do is spread the word that that myth was busted. 😉
The hypothetical woman in this video is upper-class, and upper-class women did wear tighter corsets. They were able to, since they didn't have to do physical work.
@@FunSizeSpamberguesa sorry, they did not tight lace as was said in the video. Small waists were achieved by padding, petticoats/crinolines, and the cut of the clothes. Tight lacing is a myth.
@@kirabowie No it's not. It was a rarity, sure, but it did happen (though it was generally done by young, wealthy unmarried women, not mothers).
Cleanliness was very important at the time. Not only was hygiene considered important for health, it also demonstrated morality. She would have washed more than her face with the cold water.
Our idea of cleaniness is very different than theirs. So long as there's no visible dirt, it was good, for home use atleast. A surgeon may do more. Remember, germ theory didn't even exist at the start of the period.
People who enjoyed this video may enjoy reading "Period Piece" by Gwen Raverat, a granddaughter of Charles Darwin, a story of her childhood reminiscences in Edwardian times. It includes such gems as one of her aunts being told as a young lady by the doctor that since she had a cold, it might help if she had breakfast in bed for a few days. She then had breakfast in bed for the rest of her life!
I don’t get what’s so lux about eating where you sleep. Good Lord! The crumbs!
I wish you would use art from the era instead of AI art.
What about the vast majority of women during the Victorian era?. Most were not wealthy, did not have fancy dresses much less someone to dress them. The daily life of the typical woman in the Victorian era was nothing like this at all.
Ok? But they the title is literally the of a Victorian LADY
Depending on what economic class you lived in, you could have it either very nice or very difficult.
Oh really?
Like today haha
I strongly disagree with the use of AI when talking about historial facts. There are countless resources for historically accurate material online, why use a fake+inaccurate depiction when you could show the real thing?
I would like to know more about the maid's life

Me too!
There were always some aristocrat women who.lived differently, up to a point--- authors of novels + poems.
actresses, dancers, authors of travelogues inside.+ outside Europe.
photography.pioneers, political activists---paiament, abolition of slavery
painters. a few doctors, a few.mathema
ticians (Ada Byron, etc. Countess of Lovelace), etc.
You are ruining your videos with AI. Sad to see
Just and FYI: found the background music to be too loud and actually rather irritating. I had trouble hearing the words. Otherwise it was marvelously creative.
What about every day life for a lower class lady?
Just depends on who you're born to.
The didn’t have maids and smelled worse
I watched this is school in History and the whole class feel apart at the cheap AI images, even the teacher.
No hate, this video is very informative
Nice job
The animated woman is so creepy. Please look up Uncanny Valley...
It’s so bad.😮
Right. Who decided that was a good ideal
Yush
Girls just want to kick their feet up on the table and relax, chill with their best buds.
Is this AI video?
What is unclear is when a lady might complete her toilet (a poo). I presume this would be done before she dressed as she probably wanted to wash intimate areas first. Moreover, by being in a state of undress, the lady could poo without the danger of soiling her underclothes. That would be a real stinker and her friends might no longer wish to pay her a visit.
We women are too pretty to poo
@@basm620inbelair9 Basm -- You must have severe flatulence and impacted stools. You must poo every day and clean up properly afterwards, so when you swish past in your pretty silk gown, you smell as fresh as a fuchsia rather than as stinky as a rotten egg! Remember to wash your hands afterwards and scrub your nails!
@@LaHayeSaint ??
This was the best comment
@@JameeWoodard Jamee -- Thank you on behalf of whoever's comment you praised.
Most women were poor and spend their days working long and long hours
Omg dont use AI we can enjoy and learn without AI stop this
Sounds stressful
i APPRECIATE PROVIDING ONLY THE FACTS AND NOT POLITICAL RETORIC.
The part about women being “ the Angel of the house” stay at home moms with the house and children being their main focus… NOTHING wrong with that. Look where we are now. Children being raised by others because women rather focus on themselves , their income , their carrier .. “oh wait I got kids with needs ? “ Stop fooling yourself , deep down you know it’s wrong to leave your kids in someone else’s care. People who tell you not to feel guilty are liars ! Feel very guilty . For husbands it’s so much more relax if they don’t need to worry about these things ( day care.. house hold chores) . Even feminists men ( 🤔) feel this deep down. They are the providers . Even without biblical motivation , it’s biological ! It’s scientifically proven that women have different responses to situations, tend to be more caring . You can’t have it all! Focus on what’s important , your kids.
Lol
Well said!
Why can't the man and women both work part time and share childcare roles. Anyone who thinks only women can care for children hasn't been a parent. This would mean both parties are happier, more independent financially.
I don't qualify I have no kids.
WELL SAID !
And pollution
Corset before stockings? LOL Nope!
Women used to exercise wearing a corset, so putting on stockings and shoes, never mind getting dressed was no problem at all. Very few women, if any, tight laced, so going about your day, especially female servants, who did work HARD, would have no trouble at all.
@@kirabowie It really depends on which century you're taking your corset out of and if you we're under any expectation or obligation to work... Many corsets, in many designs, for many functionalities to choose from!
Most would agree though, stockings and shoes before corset. Why unnecessarily strain yourself or your corset during your 20 years of reenacting and Renaissance Fairs? This fae says nay!
But you do *you* boo!
