- The second bustle era (yes, there was one before this!) ran from about 1883-1889. Fashion trends in the Victorian era, changed dramatically throughout the decades and super exaggerated silhouettes were the order of the day.

Not only do you have amazing sewing talent, but I love how you educate about the clothes construction, purpose, who used them and what was culturally significant to them at the time (working, bicycling etc). Fantastic job!!!
I enjoy your videos so much. I have a lovely corset collection, which I use thanks to arthritis. They really are comfortable, unless they are pulled too tight. I realized that a long cotton skirt is cooler than jeans for the summer. I live in Texas.

What a gorgeous ensemble !. I have been intimidated to sew with plaids, but I know the royal family had their family photo made with many of the children dressed in plaids or Tartans and that feuled the craze. I made porcelain dolls years ago when I was young, and I drafted patterns for them, and then I made an 1859's-1860's skirt ( for an historical event at the old courthouse) in blue.
I went with Swiss petticoats instead of the cage style. I loved the overwaist with bell sleves.
My other out fit has a barkcloth walking skirt and paisley overwaist , a leg O' mutton sleeved Reddingote with the " tail" peplum.
I was given an old plaid black and white skirt I wear it with a white shirt waist and lace jabot and boater hat. Love your videos !
Author of this video are also very talente in writing of titles to her videos!
You're so good at making this fashion history so accessible. Brilliant work.
Thank you! 😊
I would love it if you would do a video on how completely fashion changed between the years of 1890 and 1920. In that short period, women's clothing changed more than it had in the past 100 years.
This is a really lovely outfit - a semi formal walking or visiting outfit for an upper middle class woman. For someone less wealthy, like an early white-collar working woman or a lady's maid, I would make this in all wool or wool and poplin and not wool and taffeta.
Love the tartan. This is about the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen 🤩
Omg thank you so much! I really love doing winter-y Christmas type looks 🥲
You've helped unlock something in me that I've always loved and passively paid attention to, but I never took the time to research fashion history properly.
I think you're fantastic. You're helping keep history alive in a beautiful, tangible, relatable way, that is SO unique. Your work is incredible and *so* facinating.
Love the plaid & red accent. You look very beautiful young lady. I'm 50 used to dress up in my grandmother's hats & try on her gloves. They were so pretty and intricate they truly made you feel so feminine. Thanks for sharing 💕 😊
I’m so glad that I found your channel! I read a lot of Anne Perry murder mystery books that are set in Victorian to Edwardian times. As part of her stories she often writes about how the women are dressed or how the clothing affects them, as in movement or fashion issues. So to actually see these dresses and different styles on a living person is a real treat because not only are you keeping history alive, you’re also showing the great lengths women would have to go through everyday in getting dressed and possibly even multiple times throughout their day! I also appreciate your skills as a seamstress because from some of your videos I know that you can make some of these beautiful dresses yourself!
Might I suggest the PBS series "Miss Scarlet & the Duke". Set in London, based on her dress in the 1880's.
This silhouette is really top of my favorites. I love the designs of the tops and the double skirt. It just looks so nice to me.
The colour of the corsett is stunning!
Brilliant, you are the most talented and gorgeous in all your creations
Thank You for all your talents
The posing is perfection
I would love to see an ensemble from earlier in the Victorian Era, maybe somewhere in the 1850s or 1860s! I love how you explain the function of all the pieces and reference where it sits in fashion history.
Lovely completed look. I can imagine you walking outdoors wearing this lovely outfit.
The first dress is so beautiful I love to see my wife in this walk around the park on a summer day
What do you mean saying "the first dress"? This video only shows one dress.
I’d love to see late 1890s. My great paternal grandparents were married in 1897 or 98.
I just love looking at all the pieces to an outfit. You rock 4:00
It's adorable to dresses!!! ❤
Thank you for a detailed video! I always get so flustered trying to figure it all out. 😊
This was so educational, and I love seeing the different styles you wear. I'm particularly interested in the late Victorian era, which seems harder to find specifics on for some reason. I would love if you ever do more videos centering around 1890-1892.
Very bueatiful thank you for your explanations! Merry Christmas 2023!
This was great, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the video! I always enjoy your content. I learn a lot and it aspires me to be persistent with sewing historical fashion. I would love to see an outfit from 1860s!
I love your videos, just wish that they were a little longer like you used to do a couple of years ago. They are so enjoyable and these outfits are Beautiful.
My goodness, what a process. You must be wearing an entire acre of cloth by the time you’re all done. Very interesting and informative. I could see wearing all this in the winter, but I’d die if I had to have all that on in a St. Louis summer.
Thank you! Writing a novel set in 1885 and this vid was a dream!
Hi. Your videos are so educational and interesting. Happy holidays.
You make it look so easy❤
That dress is gorgeous!
Love this so much!
Love your videos! What a great way to escape from our world.
Absolutely love that dress
As for era, I've always loved the 1840s through the 1860s.
Thank you so much for sharing these outfits with us. When I was a young boy, I would watch the old motion pictures from the early 20th century. I’ve seen pictures of my family going back 100 or so years. With you I get to see what was involved in how they dressed but also the vibrant colors. It’s like stepping back into time. My family still has an old silk umbrella with a beautifully handcrafted handle. Do you happen to have Silk umbrellas that you can share with us?
Perfect ! Adorable ! Love bustles ! 🎉💖😍👏👏👏
1879, in honor of my relative born exactly 100 years before me. Never knew of her until ancestry but cool to think about. ❤
Amazing! Well done.
aww I've missed your videos🥰
This is very cool.
I have been doing research into the life of Minnie Aumonier (1865-1952). She was a writer and artist from an amazing family of artists and crafts people.
Very little is known about her life but a newspaper article from 1856 revealed that Minnie was studying at the West London School of Art, and was one of five students awarded a ‘Government Free Studentship’ for the excellence of her work.
It is wonderful to see the kind of clothes she would have been wearing at that time.
Thank you for sharing all your sewing and research!
Beautiful, my new friend. We share a major passion - that being a love of the past. ❤️❤️❤️
You are the most amazing costume designer and seamstress/artist
Have you ever tried making Tudor era gown or maybe before or after that time period? If so I would love to see them
very nice! would love to see start of the 19th century next!
Lovely!
Love this outfit!!!❤❤❤
Love those antique door knobs
Greetings from Ipswich Suffolk 🇬🇧🇬🇧
As long as you don't do the 1970s, I'm happy! Do love Edwardian the most.
Absolutely gorgeous! If we could only go back 😊
It was a hellscape of death, disease, disfigurement, and prejudice. Vintage style looks great, vintage values not so much
I wish I could sew. I would love some of these beautiful clothes.
❤2 words totally bueatiful!!
Pffffffffft. I was in the process of writing a "but how do you sit" comment then you explained it.
Thanks, I've wondered this for _years_
LOVE IT! You have a new subscriber--really brilliant work! I recently made an 1860s bustle dress because I'm living in a Western town that was greatly influenced by the Union Pacific railroad, and I was fascinated by how much the fashion changed once the Transcontinental railroad formed a complete link between Omaha and Sacramento. It seems like stylish fashions of the time cropped up overnight when the railroad was finished. Did you make your own lobster tail? Can you share where you got the pattern for it? For my project I used a half-bustle that was loosely based on a patent from the time (and it was way too complex for me to recreate when I was working on a deadline!). Undergarments don't get enough respect--thanks so much for sharing your work. Your whole ensemble looks great on its own, and even better on you!
My mother and her sister were really good dressmakers, but their Mum, my lovely Nan made things to keep food on the table and real leather shoes on her three daughters' feet. She insisted on leather shoes. She made mostly bras and undergarments for sale at a local shop, but there was nothing she couldn't make.
She made most of my cousins' wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses, they were so beautiful. She made me so many party dresses as a kid and all my figure skating outfits. She made my first ballet tutu, white satin bodice, edged in silver, with several layers of pink and lilac tulle. I felt amazing, which was great as I was not good at ballet.
My mother made my bridesmaid dresses and they were really complicated. I've made curtains and a few pieces of clothing, but I never got the bug. My mum made so many clothes and costumes for my daughter that I didn't need to. She made the best costume ever when my daughter played Toto the dog in Wizard of Oz. She was on stage for the entire show bar five minutes. She got gasps from the audience when she came on, she looked like a big, black poodle, I don't know how my Mum did it.
Sadly, none of my cousins or I bothered to really learn from them, my cousin's daughter got the bug and is doing a course at the London College of Fashion.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for you for making what I'm sure are stunning, historically accurate clothes.
You would actually have managed to live on your own terms with such a skill back when the upper classes had dresses made to measure. In those days, certainly in Britain and Europe, that would have given you so many more choices about how you lived and whether you wanted to marry or not. You would have had a profession and one so in demand that you wouldn't get the usual "why isn't she married? " kind of gossip. Sorry this is so long, but I love that you can make your own clothes, from whatever era you choose. I love it.
Thank you. Beautiful :)
I love that year and I would like to see what you just did but for summer
Do you know... When I saw and reading a title "Get Ready with Me..." - I'm immediately begging the watching of this video!..
I like your programs, it occurs to me that if they were to film a new Anne of Green Gables, you would fit perfectly.
That looks so warm. Would a matching cape or a solid color be used on colder days?
Could you please show us how you made your blue Victorian tea gown? Or the pattern?
"Great Scott!"
I can see you stepping off the stagecoach in Dodge City Kansas. Then 2 weeks later in a prairie dress.
You look great. Fantastic silhouette. Victorian and Edwardian ladies certainly had an allure and look that is certainly special compared to today. Parasol de rigueur of course. Not much chance of skin cancer then !
I enjoy the focus on history and trends in your videos and shorts. Have you considered dressing your husband and doing some videos about the history of men's fashion for us guys?
Gorgeous outfit!
Well done, you are beautiful and very talented, B 😀
Nice job
The flapper era would be fun to make!!
Hi , I totally love how you educate social history, costumes of the day etc.
Have you done the period of early 1800 s which is the Jane Austen, Emily Bronte period as in Pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility..could you cover that period too please.
❤
Very nice
I love it!! Great video!! But how can you go to the bathroom if you're wearing that?!?
I love all your outfits! You are a great seamstress! Wow! Do you ever do dresses from around the mid 1800's? Do you ever wear these clothes out of the house?
I love this, could you tell us where to get historical shoes?
Beautiful ❤
I really appreciate your videos and love for the old ways.. to be honest I don't like what girls fashion show now.. something has gone wrong.. back in those days the respect for women fashion was something beautiful ❤️😊..
May I request a. 1890s summer garden tea look? I have an antique lace dress that is impossibly small and desire to create a wearable recreation for a summer lawn party
1920s please! I LOVE the corset era and all those videos but as a big Downtown Abbey fan we get to see flapper dresses but never get to see any 20's lingerie
Could you provide instructions for that floral tea ground of yours it's really pretty
Is there a specific pattern or some such you used for the bustle? I love the length bc it supports the skirt a little farther down than the usual lobster tails I see 🦞
I would like to see you do something from the 1960-1970's , maybe a hippie look?
do you have anything from around 1888?? one of my favourite series is based in 1888 and follows the jack the ripper murders in london in october of that year its called Stalking Jack the Ripper and is one of my all time favourite books!! (highly recommend a read)
Love the work as always. I just have to ask, why the bustle in the first place? Did it serve a purpose? The only one I ever saw IRL was my wife's wedding gown, which I understand was to hold up the rest of the dress. I must've stepped on that at least 10 times BTW. Thanks.
It’s ✨ fashion ✨
So no. No purpose. There is a noticeable motif throughout history of exaggerating the feminine silhouette, so big butts, big hips, small waists, big busts etc have all had their moments and seem to come back in one way or another, and this is just one more example of that.
@@thesewloartist And we can say the same for men's fashion too (although not as much these days). Men's fashion over the centuries has exaggerated shoulders, biceps, calves, thighs, genitalia (codpieces), chests/pecs, slim waists and even pot bellies!
I really like your outfit and I think you are pretty as well.
nowadays, people wear their pajamas to eat mass-produced meals at 32k feet above sea level while traveling at .7 mach. DEVO was right on
I'm constantly staring at the dresses on The Gilded Age trying to figure out how these dresses are put on. Back hooks, front hooks? I'm so confused!
Those are made in a more "theatre" style so if you look closely you'll see a flap on the back of the most of the bodices where there's some kind of closure mechanism. The way it was done in history was typically a bodice that closed up the front, and then there was a little fabric flap that that you would cover the front closure with so it would look seamless. Even more complicated!
Is there some sort of scarf for winter outfit? It doesnt look warm at all for upper torzo anyway...
Show us a summer one
Do you wear your dresses out places or just inside
1916. I have a photo of my g-Grandmother boarding a train in full attire w/ fur trimmings on sleeves, collar & cape.
That's pretty cool. Looks laborious. What does your husband think of your Victorian obsession?
Please do 1810s and 1820s.
what is the name of corset worn? and do you make your own or do you buy those?
that looks lovelyy! i don't see myself wearing a big bustle like you do and i was thinking, do you know if working or middle class women in the 1870s wore them at all? :) because i've just thought that the 1870s clothes are beautiful but i don't like the bustles as much 😅
that outfit suits you very much
Great video! What is the process for going to the washroom in this😅?! It looked like the first layer- the combination- was a closed crotch? Which would mean everything has to come off to go pee?! Maybe this was when they wore several different outfits a day so you just had to wait until outfit change time?
Maam, do you buy these clothes or make them? If the latter, i may have ro ask you for help recreating my great grandfathers suit
❤
Can you please 1870s dress next 🤎🖤🧐😻🎻🔍✒️
Great videos and styles. How about a video of some modern day clothes on you.
Amazing. How about 1940-1950?
So when are we going to start dressing like this again? Please say soon. 🤞
I would love to see you in an outfit from the 1670s...
Have you ever done any work with 1930s or 1940s fashion?
I find the fake butts bustles fascinating for some reason lol
