Deadly Victorian fashion lets talk about it
In this video, I break down deadly Victorian fashion trends and go through how dangerous they actually were.
I talk about arsenic green used to dye fabric for both clothing and upholstery and in wallpaper and about how deadly was it.
I talk about uranium glass used both in jewelry and in dishware, how to recognize it and how dangerous is it.
I talk about hoops skirts catching fire and how big of a problem it actually was.
And lastly I discuss the deadly corset. I talk about how the myth of the corset being dangerous came about and why.
my video on the history of the corset:

    Move over lead paint! Arsenic wallpaper is the new (old) trend! As fun and beautiful as radium tipped watch hand dials! Not deadly to the end user, just those pesky under paid people handling it in the factory. On the subject of arsenic wallpaper and not doing well with water I wonder how well they did for scrubbing the wallpaper as it got suet covered from fire place and candle smoke.. and let’s not forget the gentlemen of the house having a smoke as well. edited to correct element, thank you sewthroughtime

    Just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the biggest risk of toxins in clothing and household items really was borne by the people who worked on the manufacturing side of things! I feel like sometimes that gets lost when myth-busting because the focus is so often placed squarely on the risk to the consumer.

    At one time in my life, I had a HUGE hat collection! I had a beautiful 1920s Cloche Hat. It was a Bright Green in color. Every time I wore it, I got a headache. If I perspired a little, I would have a trace of the green on my forehead... So I stopped wearing it. I finally asked a friend who was an old Milliner, why I had a headache after wearing it? That's when he explained to me about the green dyes that were used in fabrics and hats! 😮 I now watch out for antique hats and clothing that are green in color... Great Vid.. 😊

    WOW this was so informative and everything you said makes so much sense. It all makes sense why people wore things the way they did in the past. In modern clothing wearing practices, we skipped many and we arent really caring and wearing the clothing the way we should be. Thank you so much. I learned a lot and this is super helpful life knowledge.

    So very useful! What fabric(s) did you use? You only corded the gussets? No where else? Where do you start the gussets...with the point at the root or below, and are squared off gussets (rather than points) useful for those of us with a big difference between underbust and bust measurements? Thanks for this video 🙂

    • @sewthroughtime
      @sewthroughtime 12 днів тому

      I have a nearly 10" difference between my bust and underbust, the gussets themselves are slightly squared off but the opening isn't so it's just so that the cording reaches the bottom. The gussets need to start exactly at the root otherwise they are not going to lift you as far as you physically can go and then you risk nip slips in your dresses 😝 And no other cording since these don't come lower, the later 1820s and 30s has it to give that waist definition 😊
