I want to apologize for the portions of the video that are out of focus.
After weeks of research, I have finally completed my video on the changing fashions during the Regency Era! I hope you find this video helpful in your own research journey!

(Sorry, I do not take personal dressmaking commiss
“Caused quite a scandal as it greatly resembled undergarments”... some things never change
To be fair, that dress was hella nice
The og string from low rise jeans 😂
"Pockets didn't really fit under the new silhouette" so this has been a problem for 300 years, good to know...
also, my favourite fruit is raspberries :)
They came back once the skirt started getting fuller again! Even ball gowns had hidden pockets in the 1890s 😁🥳
The dresses are beautiful
I’m 12 and very Into historical fashion, I’m new to sewing so I’m starting at the regency era. This video helped me so much, thank you.
Eee! I'm seventeen and just got into it last year! Admittedly I'm more into the Edwardian era, but I also really like the Regency era (probably second or third favorite). I really love the general shape and silhouette of both eras. :)
I'm also 12, new and starting on regent fashion LOL😁 What a coincidence
Good luck all of you!
I'm 12 too!
Wow, you legit just described me, except I'm not very new to sewing.
"their journey to the north" is hands down the most hilarious way anyone has ever described the regency boob migration.
also i know a shop that sells originals of exactly the journal you were talking about, have been eyeing them up for so long, though sadly they cost like 300 euros **cries**
😆😆😁
Regency boob migration does not sound bad either
Haha... Love it.
someone in the comment section on one of Karolina's videos shared that you can find such resources on archive.org. It's all free; no need to sign up or provide your personal info
@@i.s.s.y7998 Thank you for sharing the information sweetie! 🌹🐱🤠🌱🙏🖖
Me: [listens with interest]
Also me: [stares over shoulder at bookshelf with growing approval]
NB: In art history red coral necklaces in paintings could represent health & well being, familial ties to sea trade or were a leftover from the Renaissance where they represented the blood of Christ and were a symbol of protection (I'm so glad my art history degree stands me in good stead for UA-cam commentary). Also: apples, pink ladies in particular, cherries and sharon fruit
Cool share Ruth, thanks!😁👍❤
Pink Lady apples were developed in Australia in 1973. Perhaps it was some other cultivar.
@@timesawasting7532 and I grew up in Australia in the 80s, still one of my fave fruits :)
@@timesawasting7532I thought she meant cool toned ladies. Like women who are slightly pinkish.
That's a tough one. Pineapple, blackberries, and blueberries. Just remember to get your citrus in, no scurvy! And yes, there are cases of scurvy in this day and age. I've seen it as I'm in healthcare!!
I love citrus fruits! 🍊🍋🍊
I've encountered a few men who when first moving out of home decide they are going to eat steak and potato every day because there's nobody to make them eat their vegetables. And then they end up with scurvy and gout and hopefully repent of their life choices (though not always).
It's true! I had a friend describing how they felt unwell to me recently -- malaise, cuts taking forever to heal, sore teeth, sore joints... it was indeed scurvy. Some things never truly go away, apparently!!
This is a good list. I'd have to agree and in that order too.
My roomie in college developed scurvy and as an employee of food services she had free run of anything she wanted to eat! She consistently chose Wonder bread, turkey, and mustard plus a Hostess product.....for every single meal! Roomie almost lost some teeth! This was around 1989, too.
As I understand, when travelers would write back to families about the fashions they saw going through cities and towns they would describe the type of fabric used. One of the fabrics in use was a water pattern silk transposed in the writing to watered fabric. As the receiver of the letter had not seen such a pattern before they then, as chinese whispers go, diseminated the information through talking with other people and the imperfect understanding of others thought people wetted the fabric. But no, it was actually a water pattern on very lightwight fabric which gave a drapy clingy appearance.
So interesting!
12:49 is anyone else in love with beautiful embroidery on the white dress? I am in love with this 😍
It was literally breathtaking!
Definitely my favorite!
Yes! I had to find it. Its on her regency pinterest board and is in the V&A museum!
I want it!!!
Learn to embroider your own👍 It's good for de-stressing, and would look amazing
I love the high waist line of Regency. It's flattering on most figures and looks more comfortable than styles that came before and after it.
P.S. Banana or Pear
You know, I generally say that Regency era is my least favourite when it comes to historical fashion. I’m a Victorian girl, all the way (which Victorian fashion? Why, all of them!)
But a lot of my favourite books are set in the Regency period, and I do at least like to be able to put together an accurate picture in my head of what people look like. And honestly there really is quite a bit to it.
I am endlessly amused that the new “please don’t chop my head off, I promise I’m not an aristocrat” fashion actually came from the woman who most exemplified the very aristocracy that was so hated. That’s just funny. Hilarious, actually. About as hilarious as those weird Regency court gowns. The regency bodice really doesn’t go well with the huge hooped skirts of the 18th century, does it?
Also, banana, because I am boring.
I see your point with the whole regency thing. It’s not my favorite either (I also like Victorian fashion as well) HOWEVER I cannot forgive the 1830s with its ATROCIOUS sleeves. Although I normally say you can never be too extra, I ABHOR those sleeves
I’ve found that I usually prefer the fashions during a transition period - like phase 1 Regency, and my absolute favorite: turn of the century going into the start of the early 1920s. I wonder what that’s about?? 🧐
Little Princess 1830s is the ABSOLUTE WORST!!!
It’s really funny because when I was little I couldn’t stand regency era fashion either and preferred the tight corseted fashions of the Victorian period.
It’s strange now that I’m older and I’m starting to like regency gowns, which I never in a million years thought would happen, I think it’s the Grecian look that’s appealing.
Omg I remember reading about those empire waist pannier gowns, I always thought they would be fun for masquerades or crazy new-year party event I wish we had either a replica or an actual garment that survived it would be amusing to see how it looked compared to the illustrations. I wonder how many of those poor courtly dressed women looked like their arms were position in a chicken stance lol.
There was a group of ladies who replicated some court gowns at Costume College!
oh wow, I bet they were gorgeous too. :)
There are a couple regency gowns that have survived.
@@thenerdybunny1296 she was referring specifically to the regency court gowns from england. which im about 98% sure they didn't because those high wealth ladies either gave them away to their servants or had them altered to suit the wild 1830's look.
@@bethanyday3471 True. it would be neat to see actual 1820s court gowns.
As someone who has a long time regency obsession, I LOVE that Bridgerton is giving my weird, niche interest a moment in the sun! Also give me ALL the berries, but fresh picked blackberries are the absolute best.
I’m so glad you talked briefly about the Regency court dress, it’s such a fabulous fashion abomination; I love them haha 😄.
Perfect modern work wear, I thought….. 🤔😆
Totally not taking a screenshot of a historical fashion video for fiction book recommendations... 😇
You are not the only one xD
"I don't want the video to be 20 hours long"... I do! More, more, more, please!
Favourite fruit - raspberries; like eating sugar bees, sweet & fuzzy with a sting at the end...
Seriously...20 hours on textiles, underpinnings , styles in different regions, how one region influenced another, readings/pictures from various primary sources...basically a full on master class sounds about perfect to me!
I just ate a huge bowl of fresh cherries, they are my favorite at the moment. However, I’m ready for pineapples, cause they are the best.
Hahaha
I don't eat cherries til June or july when they are in season. We're they good?
I totally forgot cherries!!!?? How is that possible. Cherries with dark chocolate -cherries marinated in rum...or something...Dying here.
Veronica Vatter they were very good! It’s been like a year or two since I’ve had any. Although, now I wonder if I should search the farmer’s market in June to taste them in their prime.
@@michellefromthevoid I don't start buying watermelon until now either. They just don't taste as good
my favorite fruit is lemons, but recently i've discovered sumo oranges, they taste like an orange creamsicle!
Those court dresses kind of look like if someone took the classic regency era gown and filled the skirt up with air like a balloon. Great video!
I think this is one of the pretties era's in fashion history, I really like the long , slender and kind of flowy and minimal look
This was fun, I like this "Imma learn you a thing" type of video
Just not English grammar though!
Strawberries!
I love how you conveyed the changes in fashion and silhouette from year to year -- the rise and fall of the empire waistline... and the drawers anecdote :D
I love mangoes! I had a fresh mango every day for several months when I was doing my study abroad, and it was so lovely.
Acceptable mangoes are hard to find here (don't even get me started about edible fresh apricots), but I do love a good dried mango.
That's a tough question. Apricots and cherries are up there tho.
I'm so glad you actually brought up Regency Court Dress, it's so ridiculous and over the top, lol. My friends and I were talking about it on Bernadette's Discord not too long ago.
I currently have severe Chinese food cravings
that was really interesting, I really want you to do something similar for 1860-1890 and the crinoline-bustle era, but I realise you are regency. Fantastic, though.
I have plans for bustle gown in the future! You can thank @costuming_drama for that 😂
Enchanted Rose Costumes the Blessed Noelle!
This was really interesting. I guess I have a very fixed vision of the Regency fashion because of the Jane Austen adaptations I've seen. And, strawberries.
The styles in Sense and Sensibility make more sense now.
I love that you love to laugh!
(But really, who could look at those Regency court gowns and keep a straight face??? Those are wild! Imagine having occasion to wear one... I'd die!)
They were in court for looooonng stretches of time and as there were no babysitters the ladies hide their children under the tent sized skirts. maybe?
Raspberries are where it's at, but I'll take a pineapple reticule any day!
will you do a version like this for the victorian era? Not the whole thing, of course, but like a video for the, crinoline era, and then one for the bustle era, etc.
Karolina has a great video on the Victorian era!
Those drawers came back into fashion briefly (!) in the 1970’s. They were worn with calve length wide skirts, and showing underneath. I can remember having an outfit like that! Oranges, always!
Fresh raspberries. Totally enjoyed your dive I to Regency fashions.
Omg please make this a series where you take us through as much of fashion history as you can get sources this detailed for! I'm not sure what my favourite fruit is. Strawberries? Green grapes? A really good divinely sweet and juicy peach? Depends on the quality of the fruit!
Actually I have a pineapple waiting to be prepared right now! I like it baked in cake as fresh does terrible things to my tongue. Yes, I do like looking and hearing about the progression of ladies fashion. Thank you for doing all that research for me! Blessings on you and your family and friends.
I'm so glad you threw in regency court dress at the end. They're so much fun - mainly because... WHY??? I love it.
I love the way you described the gradual lifting of the breasts through the change of fashions 😂
So informative! There's so much more than what's portrayed in dramas and movies. This era has never been my favorite, but going through the details and history makes me want to research more
Those court dresses...my eyes feel like they feasted well
Also I love me some raspberries
in Spain we call that period "independence era" because it happened jus after the defeat of napoleon bonaparte in 1812, but the spaniard fashion was pretty different, just in case you are interested you can check washington irving's "tales of the alhambra" (1829) for some descriptions of spaniard fashion 😁
@@jackih5502 well, here in spain we name them after spaniard wars or spaniard kings, but I guess if English is the new lingua franca, it's normal to use "regency", so everybody can understand the same thing hehehe
I downloaded a book of Goya's portraits just to get some details of what was happening in Spain at the time. All my regency era plans are very much Duquessa de Alba inspired and anyone who criticizes it as not historically acurate will be getting an education ;)
I remember from Costuber reviews of the Bridgerton TV series that the characters wore French court dress when they appeared at court, which was much closer to "normal" Regency evening wear, but VERY different from Regency court dress at the English court.
I lov regency, because it point 100 years forward by the short hemlines and scandolous sheer fabric, resemblence of underweear, and the idea of free body movement. Somethings don't change.
Omg! Thank you for sitting in front of your books. I have read most of them, but the Poison Study series is new to me. Happily spent all afternoon reading book one. AWESOME
#EnchantedRoseCostumes, is Lord of the Rings there...by chance?
Wow I didn’t realize that there were so many looks. My favourite is peaches though I enjoy most fruits. I rarely get much without effort and deception!! Grandson loves fruits and veggies I find myself hiding them so I get some before he eats them all!!
I have to say that tomatoes are actually my favorite fruit... Yes, they are a fruit! Just a savory one.
But if I had to pick a more traditionally recognized fruit as my favorite, then I say lemon 🍋. I love lemon desserts, candied lemon peel, a squeeze of lemon in your iced tea... such diversity!
I wasn't completely at the end of the video when I started to read the comments and was sooo confused 😂😂
I love blueberries, strawberries, peaches and many more 😊
Absolutely love this video! Incredible research!
Sumo oranges. Although that pineapple reticule is amazing and I want to make three.
There is a free pattern from an extant one online!
🥭 There is nothing better than a tree ripened Raposa mango!! 🥭
Thank you for the history lesson - just enough detail to make feel I can identify the eras, & not so much that I think I do not need to dig deeper into the nitty gritty. Many thanks! I wish you many ripe 🥭
East coast black raspberries, also known as black caps, are my favorite. I moved from upstate New York to mid Arizona 8 years ago and being a desert they don't grow here. I miss them terribly!!!!
Grapes and cherries by far. Oranges too, though they're a hassle to peel.
Grapes and cherries are far more of a hassle to peel.... (joking)
Can't beat a nice ripe orange. I'm very much enjoying the machines they have at the supermarkets here in the Netherlands that juice whole oranges for you, so you can get freshly-squeezed OJ whenever you like.
As soon as I left here, I went and checked another favorite channel. Amazingly it is titled "1800’s life hacks! What were they thinking?!? " The channel name is Curiosity Incorporated. It is a recorded live feed that lasted over an hour.... no telling what else they will talk about. The topic centers around an 1800's cookbook. Alex is reading a newspaper clipping and the first tip is how to remove mud splatters from your clothes.... I expect this will be interesting... back to the video.
This video is very well done. Quite informative.
In the 1930s, in her novel 'Gone With The Wind,' author Margaret Mitchell makes reference to an earlier fashion era (approximately 2 generationns before the 1860s Civil War) in which fashionable ladies wet the fabric of their white gowns so it could be pressed against their bodies to show off the shape of their legs. In Scarlett's day that would have been scandalous!
Peaches and cherries!! My family takes fresh peaches very seriously 🤣
OMG, the court dresses! They vie with the 1830s for being some of the most out outlandish fashions of the early 19th century! And bananas!
I was crying from laughter when I saw them for the first time several years ago.
I love regency fashion because is has an effortless, floaty and free quality about it, which you can't say about trends either side of it.
Plums and apricots.
As someone who has just recently taken the plunge into studying mens Regency fashion, this video was fascinating. Also, mango, cherries, and bananas.
Best historical dresses ever😍😍. The regency/ empire waist dress are my favourite style. I would so wear these dresses today.
I totally love Pumkin spice cake with a nice cup of tea. Stiffled rupples are my favorite petticoats
Thanks for the history lesson. Things we never really got in school. I love peaches.
Litchi has always been a favourite of mine as well as lemons.
All the fruits honestly are my favorite. I haven’t had durian but I would be willing to. I do have to say that I absolutely love the out takes at the end, I use to make phone calls for a living to remind people their RX was expiring and there were days when words were hard... a lot of days lol.
Many years ago I read a publication by (I think) The Costume Society ( or maybe The Historical Costume Society?) it had a blue front piece, was fairly thick and just stapled together. Anyway in it was a piece discussing the origins of 'wetting' the gowns. The writer had found a letter written at the time to The Times newspaper from an older man complaining about the way young ladies were dressed. That their dresses were so close fitting to their bodies it was 'as if' they had been wetted. Not that they had been which I think is important given that he saw them in person.
Raspberries are my favorite because they are soft and delightful!
I love Calypso Mangos. They are absolutely divine!
It's gotta be something like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Ooh, a fruit themed Regency dress would be fun!
This is my favorite fashion period, thank you for making this video!! And for the outtakes 😆
Thank you for sharing your primary reference resources!
So many fruits: gooseberries & mulberries, when we lived on a piece of land that provided them...apples from Grandfather's orchard, strawberries from Grandmother's "patch"...cherries from barter from the woman next door...Meyer lemons from my brother & sister in law's tree. My favorite fruits have to do with connection, love & community.
I about dropped my phone into my dye vat when you showed the court gowns. Oh my god, they're utterly ridiculous and absolutely delightful! 😂 thank you for such a lovely and informative video, and my favorite fruit is strawberries 🍓
Blue berries, and tiny native persimmons. Thanks for explaining the thirty year span. That explains a lot! I have a simplicity pattern I want to make and there’s no companion pattern or even an explanation on undergarments.
Dark chocolate (80%). Delightful introduction. Out-takes are so fun!
This was a great video! I enjoyed learning more about the inspiration behind the silhouette. Excited for more of these!
Love this so much! ❤️
Cherries!!!! :) Love the outtakes at the end! Thanks so much for this very informative vlog!
Loved this video!
I just want to say that, while I love your content and re-watch every single video multiple times each, I am living for the bloopers at the end. LOL. If I'm feeling down, i just put on one of your videos and by the end I am laughing with you. Much love!!
This is so incredibly helpful - thank you for this!! Wonderful video and examples :)
thanksss i really like the first phase of regency fashion, long before it creeps into the funky thirties
Wow! This was amazing! So much good information and beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing this!
This is so helpful! Thanks!
I really enjoyed the video and how you simplified everything. The Regency, Victorian and Edwardian eras have always been interesting to me and it is nice when one can learn some things she did not know. Thank you!
This was wonderfully informative and super helpful! Thank you for breaking it down ❤️
This was so helpful, thank you!
I really enjoy what is in season. Strawberries in season are probably my favorite though
Wow! Thank you for this wonderfully entertaining and educational video! A lovely walk through the Regency era!♡
Loved this video! Very informative!
I just found your channel and I’m loving it. I can’t wait to see what you do with the regency era. Also, my favorite fruit right now is mango.
That was fascinating. Thank you so much for the links!
I absolutely adore grapefruit and cherries. But I'm partial to a humble apple at times as well.
Your videos are such a pleasure to watch!! :)
This is the kind of friends I would like to have!!
Lychees, starfruit for exotic fruit and clementines for everyday fruit. Really enjoyed this!
Cherries, grapes, watermelon are probably my favorites. I love pretty much all fruit actually.
I loved this - thank you so much.
Strawberries :). And more Regency content ahead?! YES!!!!! Regency is sadly underrepresented on YT, and I am so excited to be able to look forward to more! Wonderful video, and very informative! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable (i.e. TOTALLY OBSESSED!) in Regency fashion, but I learned several new things in your video!
In 10:03 i SCREAM because is the 'Emma' outfit😍
thank you so much for this video! ❤️
Great video and bloopers! And it’s definitely persimmons for me. 🙂
Hard to choose between raspberries and cherries but it’s hard to go wrong with a good apple!
At the moment raspberries are my treat
Thank you so much for this great video! So informative, a lot of research to follow up on. Love the empire pannier dresses on the English court.
Oranges are a fave this time of year. There in season and so fresh and full of flavor and nutrients one seems to need in the cold winter months as we are spending more time indoors out of the sun 🌞 So yes of course I stayed until the end it’s an awesome lesson in Regency fashion. Just saw Bridgerton and yearned for more insight !
