@@roocknrollqueen Hi, Corsets were around since the 1500s, and tight lacing was made popular during the 1700s. While not used to define the waist as much by 1813 (Regency), they were still part of the undergarments worn at the time.
@@nushkiewushkie and when were they worn on bare skin? when did they cause fainting? when was it needed to have 3 maids pulling with all their strength? yup, never
@@mykameieretiquette Yay!! I am excited! Looking forward to more table etiquette and tactful wardrobe tips, like wearing heavy jewellery pieces after 6pm (So cool, never knew that! 🤩), at exactly what point to remove the gloves, etc.
Fun! I actually think they intentionally used the etiquette faux pas to convey the crassness of certain characters, similarly to how they represented them with gaudy costuming.
I appreciate your video and Instagram posts. Always a bright light and so much fun. Would love to see another video of your thoughts. Keep them coming :)
About the tea cup being held wrongly I think it's because the featheringtons are new money and actually don't know all of the little subconscious things that marks you as a member of the Ton.
Hello Myka 🙂 It's been a while since I last left you a message. I just wanted to say I enjoyed watching this and hearing your thoughts. Though I enjoy regency movies I never heard of this one. Thank you for sharing🌸
For my wedding day, I was trained to use both hands to puck up all those layers of skirts to ascend the steps to the altar, it is a lot of fabric. Unfortunately, my Dad goofed, instead of putting my hand into the groom’s, he got nervous and pushed me, hard!
So many things missed because she was fascinated by the outfits. The white feathers were a real thing for when you were presented to the queen. The umbrella was actually a symbol of social standing. She’s also applying modern manners, which did not always equate to etiquette back then. The hostess was seated at the head of the table, which was proper. So many more things to catch etiquette-wise as a fan of the show!
This was the time and place that set the standard for elegant male dress around the world, thanks mostly to Beau Brummel. Also, the women’s dresses actually look comfortable, unlike in most eras.
Actually, the corset scene was anachronistic. The Regency Era had corsets, but their dresses didn't have the wasp waists of the later Victorians. The costumes in Bridgerton were fun, but not historically accurate. It kind of drove me nuts.
ladies please don't have conniptions over the tightlacing. stays (pretty much a crop top bra) was what was usually worn during this time. also tightlacing was for edgy beauty queens and corsets are just a kind of underwear not a torture device. please calm down sincerely a corset supporter
In the first 3 minutes: no that is not how they dressed, there was always a chemise under the corset. They were snug, but not THAT tight; this was serving the purpose of a bra as well. No they weren't that fancy all the time, they were going to see royalty.
One should never stand around holding their drink up by their face, as does the lady who holds the champagne glass by the bowl. Hold the drink lower, around the waist or tummy.
So many mistakes. Cross table talk wasn’t correct, one spoke to the person to the left or right Depwnsing upon the course . Elbows never never on the table. Conversation is kept to high level topics.

It's hilarious to see black people in the Court can you imagine a nordic actor playing Martin Luther King role?🤣 That Will be cultural appropiation as well 🙄😂
Thank you for watching!! Comment below if. you'd like to see another reaction video and which TV Show/Movie I should tackle next!
yes, please, I'd love to see more videos like these. Thank you
I shall hold my wine and champagne glasses by the stem; DO NOT WANT to warm them up before sipping. Loved the commentary!
YES! It will stay perfectly chilled (plus you'll look elegant while doing it). Thank you very much for watching!
Loved it! You're so effervescent and fun 😂 I've always been a fan.
Oh my goodness ❤️ Thank you very much! We all can use a few extra laugh these days 😂
2 mins in and your reaction was already hilarious... the ooohs and aaahs.😂😂 Loved this reaction video !
😂 it was hard NOT to laugh and get excited while watching it. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I love when you drop mad history on these subjects! Learnt so much :)
Doing Bridgerton reaction videos really suits you. I enjoyed plus your commentary is educational.
It can be so true about floral arrangements getting in the way of conversation. Nice to hear that "officially" .
Tight lacing was not a popular thing!!!! Most of the regency stays were just good support for the chest!
it was never poplular but it this time it wasn't even invented yet 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@roocknrollqueen exactly... and nothing under it?

I’m so glad you loved it!! 💕💕 YES I would love to do more. I’m taking suggestions for my next one!

@@mykameieretiquette please do the other episodes too!

I think so too
I appreciate your video and Instagram posts. Always a bright light and so much fun. Would love to see another video of your thoughts. Keep them coming :)
Brilliant and fun as always Myka Meier - thank you!!
About the tea cup being held wrongly I think it's because the featheringtons are new money and actually don't know all of the little subconscious things that marks you as a member of the Ton.
Probably. It would make sense.
Agreed. And Eloise is someone who chooses not to be ladylike. 😅
I accidentally watched the whole season in one sitting. Is binge-watching ladylike? 😉 Thank you for the informative commentary.👍
Me too. I accidentally watched it 3 times...😄
@@jolewis2057 😂🤣😂👍
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting. I loved Bridgerton, and you are so right - there are MANY scenes not suitable for family viewing! Whoa!
What I love about my family is the fact that I was raised like a princess and that's why I adore elegance.
Myka I recently subscribed. Love your content! ♥️
Please tell us you watched all the episodes! Would love to hear your comments on The Crown - but accept if that is a bit too close to home.
Hello Myka 🙂

We just started watching this over the weekend!
Oh my goodness yes! I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am!
Really appreciated your take on Brigerton I wondered how accurate they were and I thought they had made many anarchronistic mistakes! Thank you!

I super love this! I feel like you should have been the real queen on the show 👑😉

Ah! I loved this. Can you please share the nail polish color you are wearing? It is so beautiful and
perfect on your skin.
Thank you, Myka❤

I love your vibe 😊
While I liked this video, I found it a bit too short. And not enough facts. So perhaps you could do a part 2?
I would love to hear her thoughts on EVERY etiquette moment from the whole season tbh. She has a really nice voice to listen to!! Very relaxing.
5:18 omg you are right about Anthony Bridgerton :p
I love your video like that drama tv show 😍
Aw thank you! 💕

Very interesting. Thank you 🙏🏽
Lupin? Call the Midwife? I loved this!!
Oooo yes I love these ideas thank you!! ❤️❤️
Could you do Victoria?
Love this idea! 💕💕
3:27 I think that's Eloise Bridgerton's main aim in life. Well one of them at least.
ladies please don't have conniptions over the tightlacing. stays (pretty much a crop top bra) was what was usually worn during this time. also tightlacing was for edgy beauty queens and corsets are just a kind of underwear not a torture device. please calm down sincerely a corset supporter
Wonderful
I think it also shows that you have wealth by the way you dress back then. I think especially the men.
In the first 3 minutes: no that is not how they dressed, there was always a chemise under the corset. They were snug, but not THAT tight; this was serving the purpose of a bra as well. No they weren't that fancy all the time, they were going to see royalty.

One should never stand around holding their drink up by their face, as does the lady who holds the champagne glass by the bowl. Hold the drink lower, around the waist or tummy.
Of course this series is sexed up to appeal more to modern audiences, many people think Jane Austen dramas are stuffy, but I don’t.
I've watched three times, just to criticize what's historically incorrect!!!LOL!!!
So many mistakes. Cross table talk wasn’t correct, one spoke to the person to the left or right Depwnsing upon the course . Elbows never never on the table. Conversation is kept to high level topics.

There were black royals all over europe
@@aw59d3 Nope.
Martin Luther King is a real person. Simon Bassett is not. You learn something new every day :)
