One of my favorite historical TV shows is Gentleman Jack, for precisely the reasons Bernadette Banner explains in this video. The costumes transport the viewer into the story and the minute attention to detail keeps us believing in this world, without modern eathetics just "because we can't not put actresses in modern underwear and make-up".
Bernadette: It looks like an Edwardian lingerie gown. The Video: Shows images of Edwardian underwear. Me: Clearly Bernadette was not in charge of the image choices.
Clearly. Also, this post would get a lot more views if they actually used a name instead of "A Dress Historian", although she does not usually call herself that. Also, I like her style of video a lot better, it feels kind off time travel into the modern era seeing her and hearing her slightly antiquated way of speaking in this very stark video style.
I raced to the comments to see how others reacted to this too 😂 I’m afraid it doesn’t improve my already poor opinion of Skillshare, but raises my opinion of Bernadette even more, as usual.
Love anything with Bernadette Banner! I agree that Skillshare could have done better by listing her name in the title and knowing what an Edwardian lingerie gown is.
Oh my gosh didnt know Skillshare was making any of their content available on YT, thats awesome! Anybody who enjoys this vid will love the annual movie & tv costume reviews on Bernadette's own channel, esp. as she's featuring experts from many different countries now!
Clearly someone who has never ever even heard of the term regency. This poor choice doesn't reflect well on "Skillshare" - you are trying to make money by teaching something, for god's sake, then don't put the ignorant intern in charge of illustrating this. It paints a very poor picture of the quality of skillshare
Rita Skeeter was a gossip reporter, so dressed more “fashionably”. She was an Animagus, a wizard who could turn into different things. She turned into a mosquito, thusly the dress mimicked an insect’s carapace (yes, I know mosquitoes don’t have a green, shiny carapace, but, hey, it’s the wizard world). So the costume designer was using the dress to give the audience clues as to Rita’s magic and method of collecting juicy tidbits of gossip. Clever. My personal belief is that wizards feel free to find their own styles from their past and present. Not unlike you, Bernadette. It’s the Muggles who toe the current fashion line. I love the HP costumes.
i thought that rita skeeter changed into a beetle? because krum picked a beetle out of hermione's hair after the second task, which is where skeeter got the information about krum inviting hermione to visit during the holidays. i dont imagine that it'd be easy to pluck a mosquito out of hermione's hair, with the way that it was described in the books
@@CrazyCatBeanie Oh, you’re good! She turns into a flying beetle. I think I “remembered” a mosquito because of Skeeter which is short for mosquito. At least here in the southern US. That explains the shiny green clothes, too, which are indeed like a carapace. Thanks for the correction. :)
Ummmm…. Yeah, Bernadette would be aghast to see random images of Edwardian undergarments instead of actual Edwardian Lingerie dresses 😂😂😂. Come on, Skillshare. Do better!
Which fantasy show or movie has your favorite costumes-and why?

Lord of the Rings. The thought and care that went into production quality and costuming especially. Blows my mind!
Cinderella Live Action. They kept the essence of Original Disney Animation, and also with fashionable silhouette and artistic fab.
Bernadette: It looks like an Edwardian lingerie gown.

Oh my god yes! This is bordering on the level of snaffu as some of the drawings on that series analyzing costumes from TV shows lol.

I came here to make to same comment!

I had the same reaction. 😅 "I get the feeling that they don't know what a Lingerie gown...is."

and also not making Bernadette's voice compete with music
Bernadette!!!💗
I love the costumes in Penny Dreadful! I agree that Skillshare should've checked the images

Too true! It's so perfect that she is featuring people who are experts in these other time periods and cultures!
Bernie mentioning the regency silhouette, the editor chooses pictures of the two characters with the least amount of regency silhouette... Lol.
