wonderful to watch, I agree with other comments asking for more like this, more of her wardrobe to see how she evolved along with fashion trends but please, delete the music, nor needed and distracting.
Agreed. Not everything needs a soundtrack. And after teasing us all with just how many pieces that the V&A has in its collection, you absolutely HAVE to do a series of them all.
Yes, please! Many of us don't have the option to ever visit exhibitions like this, never mind getting to see whatever is stored away in the archives. PLEASE make it accessible to the public via video, at least.
I think the inside of the garments is almost as amazing as the outside. The construction of boning channels and the hand stitching is truly fascinating.
Enjoyed this so much. Love the presentation and the explanations! The historical background and etiquette info! The pieces are incredible and so well preserved!
These pieces are in amazing shape, as well as being stunningly beautiful. . I would love a series where we see everything that you have from her wardrobe. It would be so interesting to see, not just the clothing but the accessories, to see how a complete wardrobe would have been put together.
I love these type of videos. They're so interesting to someone who is just getting into historical fashion. What ai wouldn't give to be able to take a look through the V&A's extensive collection of historical garments. I'd probably just pass out!
Very interesting and enjoyable. Would it be possible to include measurements? especially of the waist and also how much a dress would weigh. Can you do a video on the garments that would be worn under?
I LOVE the looks inside older garments, showing their construction! It's so interesting, and also some comfort if you are a home sewer, to see ways that people used to "make do" with construction. From the patched-in pieces of silk when there wasn't enough fabric to cut one full piece, to some of the hasty basting in the stitching on the inside of the mourning garment, I hope to see more of these!
How fascinating! I'm in the process (almost finished) of making an 1870s-ish orange silk bodice for myself, and the positioning of the boning is almost exactly the same!
In 1890, a cheap pre-made, middle class department store dress would cost you between $10-$30...Which adjusted for inflation is $345 in today's money. High-end Parisian luxury dresses like the ones featured in the video could easily cost between $500-$1000 ($17,000-$30,000+ today), which is why only someone like a wealthy heiress daughter could purchase such dresses (and why they're such works of art).
A perfect video (minus the music) please make some more! So interesting to see the construction and have it explained. I run a U3A History of Fashion group in Bromley and have forwarded it to them. We visit exhibitions (last one was the Marion and Maud dresses at Leighton House) and wonder if you could do a talk or tour for us.
interestingly leg o' mutton sleeves were adapted in Philippine fashion in the 1910's, long after the pattern had already died out in Europe but was due to the "Gibson Girl" silhouette in vogue by the American teachers aboard the USS Thomas (henceforth dubbed "Thomasites") who arrived in the previous decade to "civilize" the natives it was adapted specifically to the sleeves of the _traje de mestiza_ (currently the _terno_ , but even then the term was being interchanged due to the original description _terno bordado_ meaning matching embroidery/appliqué motifs), where they were translated to " _corte de jamon_ "; even though the sleeves were open and not gathered, but the overall silhouette remained
Why were they fixated with creating narrow waists? Does it fetishise the childbearing hips and sexualise the bum (a la Kardashian)? Then they moved on to the bustle (say no more).
Do you wear clothing? Is absolutely every piece of attire you wear made from sustainable sources? That includes zippers, buttons, collar stays, eyeholes for laces, laces, the entirety of your shoes, hooks and eyes. Every single piece. That excludes materials like vinyl and polyester and other non-sustainable materials or items. Do you have furniture that is also only fabricated from sustainable sources? Again, that includes everything, even what forms the welting and the type of cushions they have. Don't point fingers at others if you cannot prove you are not engaging in the same activities. It is called hypocrisy. It is a very long fall from an ivory tower. *caused nrn eod 'bye now
@@queenswillruleuh, people are allowed to criticize the abysmal state of our fashion industry and the absurd amount of pollution and environmental harm it causes without having the extreme privilege of only buying sustainable clothing. What a weirdly elitist comment to make. ‘Unless you can buy absurdly expensive ethically sourced clothing you can’t say anything!’ Lolwhut? That is not in fact how it works. 😂

I loved the music
These pieces have been impeccably well kept! They practically look brand new! 😍
I think the inside of the garments is almost as amazing as the outside. The construction of boning channels and the hand stitching is truly fascinating.
Think of how difficult is was to clean and press these garments! Crazy
We want to see more of her dresses! 😍
I would love to see more of her dresses and accessories! 💖
I love the pintucked velvet ribbon! I'm definitely adding that to a dress at some point

That orange colour is gorgeous.
Great video! Please more of these.
I love being able to see the insides to get some insight into the garment construction

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for creating this fascinating insight into a forgotten era of fashion.
Both pieces are stunning!

Amazing, thank you for showing the construction details, so much workmanship
her fashion was divine. the quality
I absolutely adore this kind of dresses. I wish we could wear this style again ❤❤❤❤

fascinating! Please, bring more fashion videos!
An amazing video with fabulous details.
Gorgeous dress. We're so lucky, to have such amazing extant garment for studying.
So much skill and care went into constructing these gowns.

can you please show some more pllllleeeaaaassse.... so fascinating
Very interesting video. Is it possible to for you to list this video without music throughout?
The music is very distracting
yes would be wonderful to view this without music.
Agreed! It could also be an amazing ASMR video without the music.
Yes, it would be easier to hear without the music
Here for it 🙋🏻♂️
My head quickly wants to imagine Victorian ladies arm wrestle and flexing on those large mutton sleeves.
More victorian and edwardian dresses, please!
Mystery pocket extra fabric for future alter/mend? Like the extra button I get with some shirts.
Incredible video
I hope they'll make a video on Worth gowns
God we need to return to such detail
Thank you
Fantastic!
Fabulous
For historical recreationists - a good substitute for baleen is zip ties!
Very pretty 😀
Wow
I can’t help but think how terribly unbearable those items would have been in an eastern summer when ladies didn’t perspire
Imagine going through menopause wearing all them layers in the sun?
❤❤❤
Love this
Interesting that all the garments could have been put on and taken off without the aid of a maid, despite her being so wealthy.
The music detracts from the narration and presentation.

I’m waiting for an app to be invented to turn music off. It’s just as bad during some films.
Why were they fixated with creating narrow waists? Does it fetishise the childbearing hips and sexualise the bum (a la Kardashian)? Then they moved on to the bustle (say no more).
Another example of how the fashion industry has devastated our environment and cause extinction in our animals. .
