CrowsEyeProductions Amazing! For your next video, I'd love for you to cover the Netflix Series, Anne With An E! It's based in 1890s Prince Edward Island, Canada. Not only is the storytelling poignant but the costumes are phenomenal! I'd love to know if it accurate!

We have been watching and thoroughly enjoying the series. Perhaps we will discuss it in our Q&A video!
I wondered! :) Glad they are resolved!

It's so cool how the dress s built with all these little cheats to make performing easier, hats off to the costume designer.
it is wonderful the mix of traditional and modern methods to make a stunning gown that is comfortable to wear and move around in whilst maintaining it's traditional look.
They probably just don't want the expense of ordering a custom corset for each singer and just essentially built a weak corset INTO THE GOWN. She also seems to be wear a pretty tight strapless bra (so TWO SUPPORT GARMENTS), but they don't dwell on that and just jump straight to the "no corset."
@@maggiemakgill yeah as much as I love corsets it's probably really expensive to get one done for everyone.
Some opera singers say that corsets improve their singing. But i guess it’s different for different people
abs a thank you for the explanation! It was very helpful. My Auntie is an opera singer, and I rarely ever see her so I never get to talk to her. I aspire to have half of her vocal ability someday.
I was laughing here, because it’s very probable that female opera singers in the 1700’s and 1800’s were wearing corsets when they sang. This idea that corsets have to be tightly laced is not accurate. There were some high fashion women who were doing tight lacing, of course, and that did cause problems, but there were also female farm laborers and scullery maids who were wearing corsets and doing demanding physical labor in which they had to breathe. There are several costuming channels and reenactors that can testify that a well fitted corset properly laced can allow you to do pretty much any activity you need to do. Well, perhaps not show off a bikini, if that is your jam, but most daily activities.
Merindy Morgenson I know! I’m planing on making my first corset pretty soon, once I can buy fabric. (It’s going to be a pair of short regency stays that lace in the front). I died during that, because corsets were really supportive for many women, and yeah, barely anyone tight laced and the “standard sizes” that were preserved, were just the window displays and meant to sell the pre made corsets. And contrary to popular beliefs corsets win’t break your spine, ruin your lungs, stop you from getting pregnant or make you faint all the time. I love fashion history and I’ve probably seen most of the videos from the costuming channels you mentioned.
Corsets can help if fitted correctly. They are like bras if they are ill fitting they hurt and don't support you.
You don't even have to tie them tightly. They're meant to support you. 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful as always, I'm totally in love with all of these , plus the costumes and the women are STUNNING
Thank you, please keep up the good work! Looking forward to more STUNNING IN 2020🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿🥿😺😘
I would be honored to have any of these beautiful women in my life...sigh, double sigh🥰🥰👍
Love that Gown. So Beautiful.
I adore how the fashion designer made this gown like soo close to Sisi's gown in the portrait, I would've loved to wear this to my prom.
The costume designers who work for theatre and film companies all over the world are incredibly skilled and talented, with this dress being a prime example of that. After all, the balance between believability and performer comfort is a delicate one, with modern Health and Safety Regulations also being an important variable in costume design. So, kudos to them for ensuring the dress featured in this video fits the opera's aesthitics, while also being as safe and comfortable as possible for the performer.
Took me a few times of her saying "poppers" before I finally figured out she was talking about what the USA calls "snaps."
Your profile name is very near to my real name Tejaswini. Sorry, but I got excited because my name's very rare, I was the only Tejaswini in my school and college.
I am not familiar with either term (as English is not my native language), but I could imagine, what she means. Thank you for the American term
@@shanayazaveri2620 fun fact, "Tejas" is Spanish for "Texas "
Arabs call them taqtaq basically the sound of the clicks
In Australia we call them press-studs
Forget getting dressed, these days, getting out of bed is an achievement. I work, eat, sleep,watch youtube ALL in bed
I'm baaaack. And still living in bed..
Who is the cat, it is like staring into my soul.
@@aliceangel1066 I know right , but I Just can't remeber where I got the picture
Looks like my cat, to be honest.
Exactly. Story of my life. Its a miracle that I still do not gain weight after all those laziness.
I hope the production will never be considered "obsolete". The dress is a beauty.
What a magnificent gown! So beautifying.
I know! I am a boy and even I would love to wear it.
It's kind of cool how this series has come full circle with a modern twist. Keep these coming!
For my wedding, I’d rather get this than a wedding dress. I love vintage stuff, rather than the clothes we wear today.
La Traviata is one of the most beautiful operas ever written 😍😍 and this dress is just amazing 💕
Wow…. This opera singer is just stunning. The dress is amazing
I love the subtle handles on the underskirt, what a great idea!
I watched the entire playlist for the getting dressed videos and loved every single one. Would love to see more! Thank you for doing these
More are on their way. We are currently planning what subjects to cover this year!
@@CrowsEyeProductions I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’d like to request more ancient styles. I love your medieval getting dressed videos. It would be cool to see Viking/Norse dress or even older would be great! I know you focus on Europe, England specifically, but maybe you could do dress from Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt.
Actually a good corset helps to sing, I used study to sing opera and is good to the breathing and also for the support. But not too tied of course
You never want to tight lace a corset. Even the victorians knew that... Well... Most of them atleast. There were that small percent of them... But... We don't talk about that. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm in choir and we have to suck in our stomachs to sing it resembles a corset to so corsets help sing to.
That’s amazing, I would’ve expected the opposite
Now this is something very different and really cool!
We get to see how historical clothing is worn as an Opera costume! I love that.
The ultimate crossover episode!!
Romantic elegance with a modern touch! Love it!
I saw this production and it was absolutely wonderful - learning more about the costumes was fascinating and somehow makes the whole experience more meaningful
OMG! ! She is so beautiful
Very nice, and so pretty, for 2020. re creating a fashion from the past
That dress is gorgeous!!!!
Crazy how 2020 was 3 years ago already
It's funny: while I know this vid is not from today, youtube still showed today it would be 4hrs old.
Ravishingly beautiful dress!, congratulations!
I know it's tragic and sad....but I really love La Traviata ! I really enjoyed this video about the costumes!
My god imagine if you had to go pee
I wear a hoop, not quite as large, every summer to our renaissance festival. She’s not wearing tights and the hoops flex, so all that’s really needed is the handicapped stall. It’s doable.
Satori Gailunas my wedding dress was like that. I dint have a hoop so I really had to just gather up all the fabric 😂 it’s not very graceful
You just don't
everything is collapsable under there and you approach the toilet from the front, holding up the layers. for a really big skirt like this, you might need a helper to help hold everything up - sorta like how brides do when they have big ballgowns. back in history, dresses of this type would be worn with split trousers as your base layer, so (once you lift your skirt and underlayers) when you pee you don't have to worry about anything getting in the way. otherwise, ladies often used chamberpots - way easier. While standing, you put one foot on a chair and just lift the pot under your skirt. If you're curious, here's some info ua-cam.com/video/NUHeSTDv_24/v-deo.html (it specifies victorian ladies but it's all the same really)
@@kassi3538 oh my gosh how did you manage?
I’m entranced by this dress, it’s so gorgeous! 😭
A stunning dress. As practical matter ,heaven forbid that the performer had to go to the toilet
It's quite easy. The whole dress is collapsible so you could literally lay down if you want to. Plus they wore split drawers underneath so it was very easy to use the restroom. Look at Prior Attire's channel, they have a video on it. ^^
I always wondered how women used the bathroom while wearing huge elaborate dresses.
I've heard that women stop drinking like two hours before to slow down the need to pee.
Wow...... how beautiful that dress is. She should be definitely feeling like a queen after wearing this dress 😊😊😇😇😍😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So glad you did this! I always loved this costume!
I want that drees. Also, I want to see that performance.
@Raqueltherocker you should it's amazing I saw it at the royal opera house
I am a boy and I want it too!
She looks like a queen
Wow o Mein God. Mega. Tchenk You. Danke. Alles Gute.
Would love to see getting dressed as modern ballerina vs ballerinas of old in England and Russia. My guess is the costumes and techniques wouldn’t be too different!
I would have loved this as a wedding dress
Absolument magnifique !
Ohh wowww it's amazing
I will be making a dress from these times, i'm using this for research! Thank you!
Use a corset for the love of anything. They will distribute the weight of the gown and help support your back, chest and hips. They're so comfortable. 🤣🤣🤣
“These times” isn’t it made from 2020 or am I reading something wrong
@@buzzermonkey3213 Yeah, it's 2020. It's 2877 now, I don't see anything wrong with the comment. 🤷🏻♂️
Andres Villanueva oh yes I’d forgotten
Beautiful!
I just love these dresses
i think that dress is beautiful who else agrees?
The painting looks exactly like the outfit Emmy Rossum wore in Phantom of the Opera!
Yes! Emmy Rossum’s dress and the one in this video are both inspired by Elizabeth, empress of Austria’s dress!! I was waiting for someone to comment this, I’m glad there are some fellow phans out here!! 😊
I LOVE the earrings
omg one day i have o wear something like this omg
a little hit of what these types of clothing would look like if we still wore things like this.
I want my future wedding dress to be just like that, wow 😍
I can assure you the dressing rooms at the ROH don't have a grand piano in them
Just giggling over here. This is fun.
So beautiful
I love gowns
Wow 🤩 just beautiful!
she is fit to be a queen
The handles are amazing!
Very beautiful.
Incredible! I love it ♥️
I want that dress 😍😍😍😍😭
Precioso vestido!
God, I love being an opera singer
I want to dress up like this ❤️😘
Every time the lady tried to say something that music just got louder and louder
La traviata was based on the real-life French courtesan, Marie Duplesis, who died at age 23 of tuberculosis.
THANK YOU ❤
So beautifully a dress💕💕💕
Awsome!!
WOW!!!
Soo beautiful, I wish I could wear it too!!
I am a guy and even I would love to wear it.
@@stephenoshea4207 😇😇😄😊
The Royal Opera House thought there would be performances in 2020...
Well the first Covid reports came from China in late 2019/early 2020 and thanks to Boris and his govt nothing was done til it was too late
It's beautiful more
Nowadays royal dress are so beautiful and a little stylish
My eyes: wow her dress is so pretty
My brain: how can I even were it for so long
The sun dress☀️👗 the woman was wearing...I wish I have a dress like that.
With all the boning, structure, and lacing, wouldn't the bodice count as a corset? Sure, there were a handful of upperclass women who tightlaced, but that's a rare few. So long as it's properly fitted and laced according to your personal body shape
Nice dress
If anyone is interested, there's a beautiful movie called "Camille" (1936) starring Greta Garbo that's based on this opera.
Looking so prity 😍😍
My weeding dress was awesome
エリザベートのドレスは永遠に美しい。
I want to dress up like that on my wedding.. 😓❤ hopefully i can..
cooool
Não eram flores, eram estrelas
I too took it during my weeding dress
small note; the background music is a little loud in comprisement with the VO
Does anyone know if she is wearing tights or stockings under her gown by any chance?
Wow now thats interesting
Basically a whole quince dress 😭
Quince gowns are really stunning.
Fr tho😭
How did I end up here
El comentario en español que buscas 😙✌️
Wow even the modern version needs a person to help with dressing. I can fully comprehend now why back then they needed maids to help them dress.
The first dress she wear looks like Roblox royal high dress LOL*
My mum's name is violetta😂just spelt with a w, Wioletta😻
Walk The Moon's La Traviata
This dress is modelled on the famous dress that Empress Elisabeth of Austria wears in one of the famous paintings that Winterhalter made of her, isn't it? She even has the matching star jewelry in her hair; at 04:01 you can see it quite clearly. It may be a little stylized, but you can recognise the basic design quite clearly.
I think that is mentioned in the beginning of the video
2020 is the year worrying
It's good
Where can I buy one ?????
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought 2020 trends were... pyjamas/house clothes? 🤣🤣🤣
