"the thread has been stressed"
me too thread, me too
🤣
“It’s obviously been put under a lot of tension”
“We must be very careful as we do not want it to snap!”
You guys are too funny I love y’all ❤
😂
Whoever's idea it was to put this lady in front of an ASMR mic - you have my gratitude!! This is wonderful.
I fell asleep to this video 💤 its so relaxing
Agreed! I was thinking how very lovely her voice is, but also how incredibly patient and precise her movements are!
Indeed! I could watch and listen for hours.
She definitely has the best ASMR voice of anyone at the museum that I’ve heard, so far.
I wish they would more and for longer lol
I can't tell if this is how people work at the museum, or if the video team went around figuring out who had the best voice and procedure for ASMR
This is how conservators work 😁It just so happens that Susana here has an ideal voice!
I chose to believe this is real!!!!
It makes sense that they would be naturally quiet, sudden noises can distract a person.
@@vamuseum PLEASE can you tell me what kind of thread is used?
Having spent some time in a museum conservation room I can assure you that this is exactly how it is. The focus and attention to the tiniest detail which is often incredibly fragile requires total singular attention. It is always very quiet as everyone is so focused on their own work and not destroying a (sometimes) priceless piece of art.
It took me 8 minutes into the video to realise that all those other beads were probably sown in by hand...and I nearly had a meltdown just thinking about it....so yeah...
Tambour beading can be done relatively quickly.
@@KaloCheyna Sure, but with such precision and seamlessness?
@@KaloCheyna relatively being the word. Still a hell of a lot of beading hours on this thing!!
Same!!
@@blammela , more than hours, days if not weeks
One of my fantasies is to be one of the quiet, meticulous experts that have just found their niche in the world. I just feel like they're all so content.
Same
god i love this comment
Yes! Me too!
Same maybe it comes naturally when we get older?
Never has anybody articulated anything so well- thankyou.
I want to thank whatever weirdness in the UA-cam algorithm led me to this masterpiece-
Sometimes the algorithm is great
I watch historical fashion vloggers. I watch ASMR. UA-cam algorithm is simple.
@@fighterflight *But, I don’t watch historical fashion vloggers, which is the problem. I have another weirdly specific interest that needs filled.*
I'm glad you came to visit this community! You should stay :))
@@keeshac.7509 well I definitely can’t leave-
Some intern who knows what ASMR is, was with this lady and like nodding off during a tutorial and was like "wait we may have something, here" *struggling to stay awake*
Lol, I am 100% imagining this is what happened. Thank you, sleepy intern, thank you.
I actually searched the Eurovision contest where this dress was featured, is in black and white, so, this video actually was able to show me the beauty of the dress completely ❤
It was the last one in b&w
Curious, you searched Eurovision first then came here? Or vice versa?
@@fighterflight just popped up in my recommendations
i was just thinking about that very same thing. at no point did i ever think that her dress would have been pink. i don't know, just knowing that now puts a smile on my face and makes me want to watch her performance again 😃
@@fighterflight vice versa! I found the V&A videos and started to binge them, then i found the ASMR series and when i got to this video, I got curious of Eurovision, because I wasn´t aware it has been going on for so many years, it was quite facinating to see that part of history.
Seeing the dress being treated gently makes me feel like I'm being treated gently.
Ms. Fajardo has the perfect voice for telling bedtime stories 🌙
Agreed
I agree totally
I totally agree
Yes, super relaxing voice 😴
I would love to see 30~ minutes long videos of her just working to fall sleep... The sounds are so nice.... And as an archivist I can really appreciate the work of a conservationist, so the facts and information are great 👌🏻
Hey, hope you don't mind. Im trying to become an archivist. How would i go about that?
@@craftyasmr3227 study. get a degree.
There is a playlist with 4 different asmr videos from this channel
@@craftyasmr3227 I don't mind 🤗, at least in my country only one university has the degree, is 4 year's long for bachelor degree. I live in Costa Rica.
@@user-yg6wj3hd3s Yes, but all of they are too short, that's why I make the comment. I'd like to see longer videos, I didn't say "more videos".
Wondering how much the dress weighs with all those glass beads..? It seems pretty heavy.
normally dresses and any clothing with lots of stuff like beads or pearls and such distribute the weight pretty evenly, so it would feel heavy on a hanger, but when you where it it’s not really noticable
@@naomig4336 oh yes it can be felt. It may have an even weight distribution; but you can feel that heavy material especially if it's on a small frame like some of those women head.
Remembering Tina Turner in her 40 pound metal dress, in "Mad Max"... decades ago.
The entire bodice of my wedding dress was covered in glass beads. It was heavy.
Salomé's dress was over 14 kgs in comparison (co champ 1969)
Please continue making ASMR. Not only is the quality high, the subject is incredibly satisfying 😍
I fell asleep so quickly after a few months of insomnia. A huge thanks to the creators and the lady.
I'm happy for you, hope you can sleep better regularly soon!
Edna Mode's gentle and sweet sister meets ASMR? How did we get so lucky?
And to think that they could’ve called this “V & A - SMR”
Galaxy-brained thinking right there
I appreciate the work that went into not only teaching us something about conservation, but you all really put in the effort to make a great asmr video, from the mics to the close-up camera, and succeeded! I just wish it was longer :)
Yes they need to put it on loopzzzz
This is wonderfully interesting. Susana Fajardo handles the dress and materials with such grace, perhaps with more finesse than a surgeon!
I thought the clown costume was already right up my alley, but I had no idea there would be more specific cathegory for me: glitter + Eurovision + handcrafts + history + asmr
Imagine how steady of a hand you would need for this. Me and my arthritis could never
this is the kind of job that would fill my clumsy hands with rage
Whoever has the idea to combine museum videos with ASMR is an absolute legend
Not only is she amazing at her craft, but her voice is the most soothing thing in the universe. Going to come back here whenever life feels too overwhelming. I love everything about this video, thank you so much
Such a great way to engage us in the conservation work
imagine 100 years later they will do this with things we wear nowadays
I imagine a person sewing a pair of ripped jeans thinking that it is a flaw
@@angelamonfer lol 😆
"So here we have a pair of worn doc marten platforms, these were worm by a distressed punk/emo teen in the 2020's"
well i feel like only durable sourced pieces will be preserved, since most of what people wear these days is fast fashion
@@angelamonfer no it is
Saw this video at the ASMR exhibition in the London Design Museum today and instantly had to return to it once I got home. This is ASMR perfection.
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure you're subscribed - there's more to come!
I can't get enough of her voice!! And all the sounds are so unique. I love how the camera focuses on the hands and the very small details. It's also really interesting to see her work
This is like Bob Ross but with historical artifacts
As a kid I couldn't explain exactly why I loved watching documentaries about anything and everything. All I knew is that the voices of some of the guests would make me feel so relaxed and sleepy and warm and sometimes send a weird shiver down the back of my neck. This is exactly the content I used to love as a younger person. Unintentional and informative. Brilliant ASMR
It’s good that Sandie performed bare footed. Saved you some extra work there! 💎
this is some of the best asmr ive ever heard omg
What I admire most about this entire process is that we as the audience wouldn’t pay much attention or even be able to see little imperfections such as these on the pieces put up for display, and yet to think there are many conservators out there, working hard to make them look beautiful again, out of love for the piece itself but also for the enjoyment of the audience. It is honestly really touching to me and makes me respect these artists so much more, for what it takes to make beautiful clothes like this, and also the effort to restore and care for them over the years. 💖
This is some Award winning ASMR... If there is such a thing...? The imagery and the audio are sensational... Much appreciated
Can you guys PLEEEASSEEE do more videos with this beautiful woman. Her voice is SOOO heavenly
What is this ✨magic ✨I have come across?
ASMR 😉
Wow, the patience to do such delicate work. 👍🏻
You have to keep this series going. I can no longer sleep without it.
Ms. Fajardo is so talented and knowledgeable!! Thank you for showing us your process
Fascinating.Such careful craftmanship.
We could not see how beatiful this dress was when we saw the contest. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Really, this is how asmr should be made.
this is the best one yet! the audio and the voice are just perfect and the visuals are also marvelous
I never realised what a beautiful colour her dress was. We only had black and white tvs then. I can remember watching it. Puppet on a string was the song!
Conservation may be the perfect ASMR activity. Delicate, slow, deliberate movements, meticulous, quiet, crinkly. I love it. More, please!
I’m living for this! Finally I was getting tired for only watch 3 videos. Thank you V&A team for creating this. Any chance for more? 🙈❤️
These are so good they just need to be longer
It's fascinating to see something beautiful restored!
oh this is EXACTLY the type of content I want, bless whoever came up with the idea
I dont care who you are everyone can agree these moments, noises and overall aura is so relaxing and comforting.💗
I've stared at that dress so many times and I never noticed the underskirt was three different colours 😂
Idk how I came across this but I am so thankful. No words.
Eurovision and ASMR, my two favourite things💕
So much care and attention. She's so good at her job, amazing!
Well now I’ve got to subscribe lol. This is the BEST idea! I love the information, the close-up visuals and of course her amazing voice! She’s totally got a second career in voiceover narration if she wants it.
Wow! To see Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String" dress in such close detail is a rare treat. She scandalised many older people watching Eurovision because she wore a very short mini dress (the fashion of 1967), but she also had bare feet. OUTRAGIOUS. Things have changed so much in the last 55 years ❤️ This is a wonderful video, so relaxing. Thanks to the conservator and her team.
That poor thread. It was pulled, stretched and stressed.
And twisted as well! Had a real rough go
kekw
This one got me so good I watched it 3 times and fell asleep before I could even like or comment
This video is my go-to when I need to slow down. ❤
Please make more of these!!!!
More ASMR videos of Ms. Fajardo PLEASE! Her voice and her soft, gentle movements are perfection!
gotta say? that dress is absolutely incredible and im glad its been preserved with such love and care.
Her voice is insanely relaxing and the soft shuffling sounds are so lovely✨💕
The focus and kindness and care Susana radiates during these...So wonderful.
susana: I'm going to try to put them back in position, tuck the original thread and anchor it down.
me, half asleep, knowing nothing about embroidery: sounds good!!
not only is this a beautiful subject but the camerawork is astonishing. this team really went above and beyond. i love it :)
We want more like this this lady is made for ASMR !!! The Material, the pins, the sewing, her voice it’s all just spectacular
BEAUTIFUL. mrs fajardo has the most gorgeous voice.. what a nice video
This is a meditation..like monks who will spend hours sweeping the stone floors,completely present in the moment(s) of the activity..this is what Eckhart Tolle is referring to when he explains "being in the now"..this is what makes the viewing of this segment,so satisfying. 🙏💖
It’s always amazed me how there’s people that are this gentle
Please do more of these. This was lovely!
the shimmer of the fabric and the superzoom are SO satisfying! this is perfect
She really is the best. Please more asmr videos with susana!
OMG this is pure gold
This woman KNOWS what’s needed for a good asmr video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This series is absolute gold!
Her voice is amazing
Probably the best museum asmr
i think this is the best ASMR video i’ve ever seen and this is coming from somebody who has been watching them for like 12 years
She’s incredible, her soothing voice matches the delicacy of her hands, I could never do something like this, it’s mesmerizing ❤️
I need more of this 😭 her voice is so soft & gentle.
This is perfection. It’s so relaxing and interesting to see this inside view on conservator work!
Oh wow,so many tingles!
Kudod to everybody involved in this,great great job Ms Fajardo and the museum staff👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh so this in fact is a regular thing? This makes me happy.
No background music, thank you V&A !
She's a NATURAL. Some of the best ASMR I've heard and I'm a connoisseur at this point.
The best asmr video EVER! Whoever decided to put this lady's SOOTHING voice over this video with the rustling of the beads and dress is just a bloody genius .absolutely iconic .Please do more wake videos with is lady 💖🙏
5.5 million or so views on the ASMR At the Museum playlist right now. 1.1 million are just this video. You never know what’s going to be successful, but it’s so interesting to see what catches.
This lady is an amazing costume conservator. She is so very gentle and meticulous in her craft. This is quite literal microscopic needlework. I appreciate her fine attention to detail and gentle hand movements. Wonderfully soothing.👌🏻💜 This may not be the most glamor job in the world but this dear lady is enjoying herself to the fullest.
As an asmr fan and also a fashion fan I owe my life to whoever put them together!
This whole video was so mesmerizing, and the dress is gorgeous.
Even the damn beads relaxed for her in the beginning. This is 🤤 so relaxing
This is the best ASMR video I've seen. She is so patient and delicate with the fabric, her voice is calm, the close up camera work. It's amazing to have such high quality content about an interesting subject. I would love to see more of this. Amazing work!
Her attention to detail is amazing 🤩
her voice is like a hug
My thoughts exactly.
Susana is my favourite in these videos. The way she speaks is sooooo soothing
The dress is gorgeous, if you google it you'll agree with me. Also this ladie's voice and the sounds are absolutelly melting
I need a longer version of this. This is amazing ❤️
love seeing the process behind these pieces!
Imagine working with such beautiful garments all day 😍
OK, so this is literally brilliant!
