    And that colourful petticoat...that one is to die for

    If Izabela were a vampire, your only hope to escape her would be if you gave her a handful of little buttons to do up, first. I don't know which I like better, the stockings or the skirt. Once again, an amazing outfit! BRAVO!!! Stay well.

    Hi, in my opinion, you are the boss lady of UA-cam's historical dress corner! You are funny, knowledgeable, good narrator (in text and voice), a talented seamstress, and I love the vertical format which is of a different background in every single video, and the costumes being so colorful and combination of new and antique.
    Thank you for sharing your craft!
    I wore my first petticoat this week (a thrifted cotton skirt I put under my maxi skirt) and I was so happy I knew what it was for and what I was doing! I wore it with a silk shirt and cotton skirt, It kept me cool in the day and warm at night. Now I'm getting the purpose of structured underwear and I am looking forward to finding pieces that fit with my modern lifestyle.

    I think what like best about these videos is that not only are the garments inclusive but also that there is information about the petticoats and what the closers are and the material used for the outfit. Love the skirt and that colored cotton petticoat.

  • @lesleysullivan6458

    I wish I had worn an outfit like that when walking my cat on her harness. We turned heads, but wearing that awesome outfit would have stopped traffic and the dog walkers. Always a treat to watch your videos! 🙂
    PS
    My cat was a big girl, a 22 pounder. We should have been in Vogue 🐈

    @brandonarkell5357 3 роки тому +22

    It's funny that you mentioned vampires, because Dracula was released one year prior, in 1897! This is probably the kind of outfit that Mina Harker would have worn walking the streets of London, and not the outfit she wore in the 1992 film, which I feel is more like the second bustle period, so I think the film's costumes might be a little anachronistic. It would be like confusing 1984 with 1999.

    This has become my time period of interest now, I used to adore earlier eras. I like the modest bump pad, I need one of those and the right period hat to complete my new period walking suit. I like the Edwardian era that followed, but I can't see myself enjoying the pigeon breasted tops. Wonderful video, as always.

    Ahhh, I’m getting old, having recently celebrated my 65th birthday, and have been deathly ill for 2 weeks, so not at my best. You’re inspiring me, again!!!! What absolute frivolity & delight!
    I love yr channel.
    It’s quite chilly w snow on the ground & feeling rather brisk.
    But, what’s ever so delightful..... contemplating new wardrobe accessions, whether made by oneself or indulging oneself through the agency of Fr Christmas!
    On this happy note, I’m off to dream of lovely frocks & shoes.....
    What a delight you are, m’dear! Keep up the magnificence, if you please!
    I truly love this silhouette, as well as one from my last viewing of a young governess (?) going back home, looking very bright & cheery.
    If this were a Christmas cordial, I’d buy it, right now! You definitely brighten the day. “All things bright & beautiful...”

    Everyone and their aunt: Corsets were of course SUPER restrictive, you couldn't move or run or bend over or do anything at all. They cracked women's ribs and moved their organs around and was a serious health hazard. You couldn't even breathe, so women fainted all the time.
