I love how you take measurements and actually take care of the gorgeous dresses you wear. It always hurts to see people abusing, damaging, or disrespecting these gorgeous pieces of history and art.
I have a ball gown that my Great great great grandmother wore to a ball; hosted in honor of the Prince of Wales in 1860, when he came to visit New York. Extant garments leave an imprint of awe, amazement and an internal experience of reverence and respect.
@@patriciatinkey2677 I would love to show it off, if only there was an option to send pictures in the comments! It is made mostly of cream colored silk, with olive green trim along the hem and the shoulders. The sleeves are off the shoulder and short, the neckline exposes the tops of the breasts, much like Meg Marches in the 90's version of Little women . The bodice is lightly boned, likely with the original whale bone that was often used in high class fashion at the time, and the back has several hand sewn eyelets with a string to lace the garment onto the wearer. The skirt is very very full, and requires a large crinoline (I have not yet found a modern hoop skirt to fit it as it is meant to be worn. The modesty bodice is also intact, which is a separate matching garment, kind of like a matching short sleeved jacket meant to be worn over the gown when modesty is more appropriate or to protect the gown in case if rain (even though it is also made of silk and would have no hope of protecting the skirt). It has a higher neckline and covers the shoulders, it also laces in the back and is lightly boned as well. The waist band has a hook for the matching bow to attach in the back of the gown. There are also two fans made of ivory and silk with extremely delicate detail with the garment. they would have been used for both etiquette, conversation, and keeping my great great great grandmother cool. It is believed one of the fans belonged to her sister. They are both falling apart at this point, but one is almost completely intact. If you are interested, the owner of the gown was named Elizabeth Rathbun. The gown has no value at this point , as it is stained and has some tears, which I have repaired by hand, but it means a lot to me.
We did a tiny exhibit of clothing and accessories from 1890-1950, and I was tasked with taking the oldest two outfits off the mannequins. I was so stressed over the thought of accidentally damaging them, it took me twenty minutes to just undress those two. I would have a heart attack trying to put them on myself. So happy to see you take good care of the dress
@@spacebar9733Yes and if I remember correctly Marilyn also specifically asked that the dress isn't worn again. What a way to disrespect the wishes of a dead woman. Normally I don't care about celebrities but I was disgusted when I saw it the first time.
Kim Kardashian should have made a copy of that Marilyn dress. At least two people made error of judgement. First was made by the owner of the dress by allowing it to be worn by others again and the second by Kim Kardashian that she would wear the actual dress and damage it, All the people surrounding Kim should have said that make a copy instead.
@SorbusAucubaria she did tho. She walked the red carpet and damaged the original and then changed into a copy for the rest of the night. She should have stuck to the identical copy thst was indistinguishable from the original to begin with
It makes me so happy that the dress gets to go on a woman again, even if it’s just for a little while. Doesn’t it make you wonder about the girl who wore it back in the day?
You revealed a trick I never considered with the teeniest waisted ladies...the hip structure in the corset is a little wider than the true hips! Ahhh, my brain has been perplexed for decades over the hip to waist ratio!
Most of the outfits were made with padding on the hips to contrast the waist. Tight lacing was a rare and strange thing which is why it was documented, same way we blow up weird things now on social media.
Both hips and shoulders were expanded to make the waist appear smaller. Hip padding, bustles, overskirts, puff sleeve cages and down filled pillows create the sillouette.
@@Sovereignty3Yeah, that makes you think, doesn't it? People talk about how restrictive outfits in the old days used to be, but these days women put the fillings and the padding in their actual bodies instead...
So great to see you in that beautiful gown! Survivor bias makes it so most people haven’t a prayer of fitting into the garments that are left, so it’s nice when someone like yourself happens to be in that tiny minority and is able to share it with the rest of us! Those rosebuds are very sweet. And the great thing is, they are not hard to recreate! You should totally be able to make something quite similar that you can feel comfortable wearing. Yay!
Youre using "survivor bias" wrong Its not like all normal weight people died off and the 1 % of 300 pounders where left to populate the earth . In the last 200 years even
You are SO unbelievably gorgeous, in the most natural and elegant way. Both a traditional beauty and a unique beauty in the same way. To my eyes, your waiste has gotten smaller and smaller as I've followed you on this page. PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, maybe you are naturally slim or struggle to keep on weight but please be careful! You are so stunning and healthy, don't want to see you fade away
That dress is so pretty and flattering on you! The colors of the dress with your hair and complexion make you look like a painting! I think this is my favorite dress you’ve tried on so far💚😊
Gorgeous. It’s interesting to find out how we (women) went from multi-piece garments to one- or two- piece garments in the space of a relatively few years.
Its interesting to see how flat and sort of distress the old one looks like. But when it was new and fresh. It probably had a more lively look, eith less faded colour. I love how simple it looks. But there is a bunch of details going on to catch the eye.
I admire you, and you love for older, antique dressed. I also love that you care about the dressed ( you do not want to damage the dress in any way ). You are such an inspirational person for other people all around the world who like to do things relatively around what you do. You look so good in the dress, too! I love your desperation to show people around the world what one of your hobbies are. ❤
I appreciate your daunting the significance of the garment you’re going to wear. And will check if you actually will fit it versus others who have destroyed the historical garments
I can just imagine how stunning that looked originally. Not that it doesn't now, but I'm sure the color was even better. Impressive condition given age.😊
When I was in HS, we had a heritage day and kids were asked to bring in/dress in costumes of their heritage. Someone brought in a late 18th century court dress. I was the only person who had the right measurements for the dress so they gave me permission to wear it. I was almost sick at the sounds of the silk creaking and the seams stretching, but wow. it was gorgeous. 40 years ago and I still remember it.
I love that you measured the dress to ensure it would fit… The respect for the dress, whose origins may be unknown unlike celebrities who chosen to wear, and damage the dresses of historical figures
I LoOoOvE that dress and you look GORGEOUTIFUL in IT!!! And I sincerely appreciate you, treating that beautiful piece of history, that gift from the past, like the precious gift it truly is!!! I can't wait to see what you create when duplicating it!!! 🗝️💝
It belongs in a museum!! -Indiana Jones But fr i love how careful you are with not damaging old clothes. Id have that hung in a glass case in my closet or smth and wear it once in a blue moon lol
I love how you take measurements and actually take care of the gorgeous dresses you wear. It always hurts to see people abusing, damaging, or disrespecting these gorgeous pieces of history and art.
Especially celebrities, like at the Met Gala.

*cough* Kim Kardashian *cough*
If you have to wear an antique dress, I’d prefer everyone did it like this.
I have a ball gown that my Great great great grandmother wore to a ball; hosted in honor of the Prince of Wales in 1860, when he came to visit New York. Extant garments leave an imprint of awe, amazement and an internal experience of reverence and respect.
That's amazing!
Wish we could see it!😊

@@greaterthanme876 could you post a video of it?
@@minakiel2930 I have never done video, or editing, it is a skill set I admire, but Unfortunately do not possess. I am sorry to disappoint.
I can really see the silhouette of the time period coming out in that dress. So fun to see!

The owner would appreciate your care!
Somebody should have shown this video to Kim Kardashian before she ruined the Marilyn dress
Exactly this is the right way to do this
@@Bewbslol the correct way would be not wearing it. Kim Kardashian is not Marilyn Monroe.

So beautiful! I wish you were able to see what it looked like before it was faded and more worn, but I know that that's part of how cool it is!
I know! It looks sort of grayish now but I think it was originally a pretty robins egg blue.
I’ve seen photos of them when they were new - they all used to be black and white,
@@K1lostream Lmao

Make the outfit fit the ideal proportions rather than how we do it nowadays and force the person to fit the unidealistic proportions.

Christ loves you beyond comprehension, turn to him
It’s amazing that all those little rose buds appear to have survived. It gives me Easter/ spring vibes. I wonder what the colours were like new. ❤
All I can think of is "wow, the dress must be so happy to be worn again after all this time" and now I'm crying a bit it's so pretty

As a historian...I love watching YOU being a historian! So nifty!!❤ I've learned a lot!
You look absolutely lovely in it!
I love how antique people used to dress its so proper🎈🎈
That is absolutely GORGEOUS and i would never have guessed it was a real antique, it's just STUNNING!
Omg, can't wait to see your recreation of this dress!!
I can’t be the only one wondering how those back buttons got done 😂 Beautiful though!
I’m guessing the answer is: “that’s what husbands are for!” 😂😂😂
Gorgeous. It’s interesting to find out how we (women) went from multi-piece garments to one- or two- piece garments in the space of a relatively few years.
I wish I could dress this way all the time also. Women were so classy and beautiful in that era
Wow that dress looks
✨️ B E A U T I F U L ✨️
on you!!! ❤❤
You're a genius, woman, never stop creating ❤❤❤
Even for you, this looks gorgeous.

Mr. Fox in the Fields playing in the background!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic energy!!!!!!
Soooooo sweet with the rosebuds. I’ve seen your work - you’ll do it Justice. Thanks for sharing 😊
I can just imagine how stunning that looked originally. Not that it doesn't now, but I'm sure the color was even better. Impressive condition given age.😊
I love these old styles.. so beautiful.
Wow. All the detail. Absolutely gorgeous.
That is a lovely dress! Looks great on you!
Wow, that's actually so pretty. A lot of detail!
I think that’s the prettiest dress I’ve ever seen! It’s in good hands!
I absolutely love the dress 😍

So beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing!
I love to make dress designs and looking at yours makes me really happy
It’s absolutely stunning on you! The color is sooooo complimentary!
I love that you measured the dress to ensure it would fit… The respect for the dress, whose origins may be unknown unlike celebrities who chosen to wear, and damage the dresses of historical figures
I really enjoy her videos and voice and the way she speaks. It’s all very endearing and un saddled with today’s insanity! Big fan!
Absolutely beautiful!
So glad you said you’d make a new version this is stunning
Oh bloody hell how did you get that beautiful dress??? Of course I could never fit in anything like that but it's so so beautiful ❤❤❤
Omg those rose bud details are amazing 🥺
I’m always wanted to dress like a 1910s between 1912s dresses, especially 1912 I just like the fashion between those years
Would love to see the duplicate when you finish it ❤
I would love to see you wear more antique dresses. 🩷🩷🩷
Just gorgeous! Please film your making of so we can build one with you! I must have one!
This is so exciting! I love this so much. I remember when Karolina was able to wear an antique Edward and dress as well!
How sweet to have an actual antique dress
Imagine how much more gorgeous it would have been in its prim time
that corset is so beautiful

It is gorgeous!
Omg!! That dress reminds me of a mix of Fanny Button and Isabelle from BBC Ghosts
I love this dress! Is so pretty! ❤😊
It looks so beautiful I love the little flowers!🫶🏼
Fascinating how the front of the dress looks like it was almost designed to showcase the lace (which was very expensive for a day dress like this).
Love the dress!!
I can’t wait to see a replica. I bet you could even do it in different colors.
omg what a gorgeous dress. i have to see the one you make, it will be stunning!
You are very unique! I love it!❤
So pretty!!
I love this dress❤ it’s beautiful
I’m just so jealous of her tiny waist.

Gorgeous piece
What a stunning dress 😍
I would love to wear that!! Pretty
You have great talent. I hope your full time job is in this field.
It's so cute!
Would love to see a duplicate in negative like black to the white
You look absolutely splendid in this dress as in everything you show, but I would hate to have to dress like that with all those tight layers.
What an absolutely beautiful dress
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for respecting the measurements of the extant garment.
The gown is lovely.
Love your dresses my wife does as well. Just beautiful
Appreciate the grace that yoi you display 😊
Awe the music is so nostalgic!! It’s from fantastic Mr. Fox, a stop motion film
Beautiful and I'm so glad ive never had to wear one.
They really are beautiful dresses. ❤
Beautiful 🤩 . Just one question: why is the corset deep red if you can’t see it when the dress is altogether?
Looks soo beautiful on you!
I would !DIE! to wear that dress!!!!!! 😖😫😩(mind you I’m not even a teen I’m just obsessed with vintage dresses)
Wow!! I'd love to be as thin and beautiful as you are ❤ you rock that dress!
You have an amazing eye for detail and beautiful dresses. I love your videos.
