The dresses also show the passing of time. The styles change from the wide skirts with low waists of the 1770s to the higher waists of the 1790s to the Regency era clothing of the early 1800s.
Yeah I love how as time goes on in Hamilton you can see the time impacting what the people (especially the women) are wearing Empire waistlines were very popular for the 1800-1820s and mantuas were popular for the 18th century
the reason for the last one being so high in wasteline and not as big is because by the early 1800s dresses were slimming down! and by 1850 they went back to bigger skirts
Yes, regency era clothing is so incredibly simplistic, especially compared to the eras that sandwiched it. As a side note I would just like to say that empire waists are just ✨impeccable✨
i actually really like Elizas less poofy dress, it doesn't just show that she's grown up, it shows her vulnerability and the hurt that she is enduring, imagine trying to portray that in a pretty poofy dress instead of a flowy, droopy dress. It makes her still seem innocent and kind, yet still reps all of her experience. :3
It just shows the change in time. That’s a classic regency era dress that’s warn in the early 1800s. Versus the panniers and hoop skirts that were worn in the Georgian era.
@@alwaystakemarktwainsadvice4269 yeah that too, but there are so many ways they could have designed her dress. Yet this innocent, melancholy way, was oddly fitting for someone like Eliza.
I know that this video was supposed to be non-educational, and just your own opinion (which I personally agreed with), so you aren’t expecting to know, but I thought it was just worth pointing out that Eliza’s night-gown looking dress is actually historically accurate when it comes to the slimmer skirt and higher waistline (which was fashionable in the early 1800s), while her more voluminous skirts with more natural waistlines were more fashionable in the late 1700s. The change in silhouette was most likely done to show the passing of time, and not the maturing of a specific character (as you can see Angelica wearing a similar style of dress from the Reynolds Pamphlet up until Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story) I loved the video, but I just thought it was interesting enough to point out.
1:09 the reason she wasn’t wearing the neck thing is because the two shots were taken at different times for the play on Disney+ so they probably forgot to put it on.
When I saw Angelica wearing the jacket dress in the movie, I literally out loud said “She’s gorgeous,” and my sister gave me a weird look from across the room.
I understand that they changed Eliza’s dresses to reflect fashion changing (high waistline and slimmer skirt were fashionable at the turn of the century and into the 1800s), but the dress she wears from Schuyler Defeated onwards just looks like a night gown. The dress Angelica wears in Reynolds Pamphlet is a much better example.
does anyone know why the sheer thing is there at all? I too love it but im not really sure why it’s just added sometimes and then taken away during the musical
hello! I guess youtube recommended this to me because I have a similar video on my channel? Idk but I enjoyed it. If you are by any chance curious about the history behind some of the costuming(empire waistlines in the regency era, the little neckline scarf(fichu), and stuff) I would love if you checked out my video! I agree with your costuming ranking though, definitely.

The jacket dress that Angelica wears at the end of Act 1 and beginning of Act 2 is very underrated
Ikr my favorite
@@iAmMadeOfSoup same
IKR it’s awesome

It’s a different century. People dressed like that in the early 19th century
I agree, 100%

Grace Ho that’s what I was going to say lol
I noticed but I didn’t want to be a nerd yay! :)

Same with angelicas rose brooch thing on the front during satisfied
No. That was from Broadway previews. Not the movie. She always had it in the movie

Why did I totally forget Eliza wore a different dress during helpless? There’s so many
This will help you to figure out how many dresses Eliza wore. Haha~

@@billyfredman6865 i just saw this, but thank you so much!!
It’s just the thing you put over top it. You can see the buttons underneath
@@iAmMadeOfSoup Cmon man they have different skirt shapes and they are different colors.
The best of wives and best of women dress is completely seperate actually. :)
Underrated UA-camer

My favorite is her Take a Break one
Edit: ahh I see another *wo*man of culture
Heck yeah
The thumbnail convinced me
they are historicaly accurate
If anybody is interested, the dress designer of Hamilton has a UA-cam video about making these dresses and their designs
the reason that the fabric is their then not their is because in the movie they used different clips from different shows
She had open necklines because that is what they wore in the Rokoko era
AGREE! 100%!!!
The whole sequence of number two is making me laugh so hard
I think Eliza was like :" oh no my son got shot. Time to put my black clothes on
You are my voice twin lol, we sound almost the same.
The costumes in Act 2 are different because it’s a different century not because they’ve grown up or something
Ya don’t say
@@not_quite_clarinet have you listened to that scene
@@margareteedithottilieleonore i watched it
@@not_quite_clarinet well then you would know why I commented that
@@margareteedithottilieleonore s a r c a s m
Her before: I don’t like the high neckline
Also her: I love the high neckline
No I’m screaming please tell me you didn’t say that the waistline is bad 😭😭
Does anyone know what kind of earrings Eliza wears?
does anyone know why the sheer thing is there at all? I too love it but im not really sure why it’s just added sometimes and then taken away during the musical
Please do angelica!
Make one for Hamilton,
The Schuyler defeated dress is supposed to resemble a regency dress.
