    I got way more interested in this stuff when I found out men actually hated all of it and women carried on despite their protests. In particular, when it was pointed out to me that a hoop skirt is basically a personal space enforcer, I was just like, "I want one..." Anyway, super glad I learned, because this stuff is really cool!

    So beautiful, as always! My grandmother was a seamstress beginning around 1908.
    At the time when sewing machines became popular, rich ladies wanted their clothes hand made. She worked for one such lady. Can you imagine?

    • @SoundShinobiYuki
      @SoundShinobiYuki 5 років тому

      Rich ladies always had handmade clothes- ready to wear fashion only began in the mid-1800's and was usually sniffed at by the wealthy as poor fitting or poor quality. The sewing machine opened up more elaborate handmade clothes for even women of modest means, however, since it was much faster to sew on trims, frills, ruffles and all the other fancy Victorian bric-a-brac that the era is so famous for.

    In a historical article “The sting of a hornet” one can read, which tactics ladies used for self-protection with a help of hatpins. Especially in Edwardian era ( 1901-1914), when hats grew huge, hatpins became especially long&strong,- over 30-centimeters long creations of rigid steel with elaborate, elegantly decorated heads, not unlike a handle of precious antique dagger.

    My house was built in 1894 by a doctor in a beautiful and historic area of St. Louis, MO USA; he and his wife lived here until their death, no children. I can just imagine the clothing that they wore in this house, love it!!!!! I am so blessed to live in Dr. and Mrs. Carson's house 125 years later! Love your show too, the fashion in those days was beautiful and elegant. Obviously, this dress was designed to see and be seen! I noticed that you are in London, love it there too, and some of your historic houses are 500 years old, maybe more, so my old house is "new" compared to many of your houses. I absolutely love historic architecture and am fascinated by the fashions and transportation in the period of time that a house was built, just fun to think about their lifestyles, their friends, parties, food,.... Movies settings in England on the historic streets and in the gorgeous old house are magical, I can watch them endlessly.

    Your videos are always such a joy to watch! I particularly love how you demonstrate the comfort and mobility that was still enjoyed, regardless of the several layers involved in such an outfit. I tend to find it somewhat ironic that the often _much_ skimpier clothing of today - especially when paired with sky-high stiletto heels - is actually _more_ restrictive...just think of women constantly fidgeting/pulling/tugging at their "body-con" clothing. And running in those modern heels...?

      Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always! Greetings
      Miss. Sarah Baartman was a Beautiful Black South Western African woman from the 1800s, who was made out to be a mockery for the sick jealous envious white man, who had an obsession for Beautiful Curvey Shapely Black Women but the white men in the 1800s would never dare to openly verbally admit to Black Beauty of any knid; the 1800s white men, white women would never openly willingly admit to no type of Tan Brown Black Beauty, so instead of the jealous white men just simply stating that Black Women were Physically Beautiful and that they Have The Most Naturally Curvy Attractive Bodies, instead, what the sick jealous envious white men/women did was make a spectacule out of Miss. Miss. Sarah Baartman by making her take off all of her clothing, her being completely naked and they made Miss. Sarah Baartman stand naked on an open stage, where there was nothing but white men AND! white women in the audience where they all took turns verbally abusing her, verbally wickedly taunting her and just a great possibility she most likely got physically attacked behind closed doors, now it would be a good idea, only for those who are interested in this particular 1800s Black History incite, for you to go and look up, Google and research the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman or go the library nearest you and see photos of this Beautiful Naturally Shapely Curvy South Western African women, and very simply pay very close attention to her Beautiful curves, which is the immediate natural physical build of most of the Black Albino, Light Tan, Tan, Light Brown, Brown, Red, Chocolate Brown, Dark Brown, Brown Black, Blue Black communities. There are the African, American Black, Hispanic, Indian, Italian, Hawaiian women who all are well known to have natural physical shapely curvy figures.
      They made Miss. Sarah Baartman, A Literal "Exhibit" on A PUBLIC STAGE "EXCLUSIVELY" for the jealous sick white men and for the jealous sick white women.
      Now to the point of the "bustle" dress in this video, which "IRONICALLY" the "bUSTLE" dress was NUMBERED the number #1ONE DRESS of this commentary of history of dresses; so now, again, if you would just quickly take a moment and go and Google the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE VERY QUICKLY HOW THE "bUSTLE" DRESS IS SHAPED JUST LIKE MISS. SARAH BAARTMAN PHYSICAL BODY SHAPE.
      Now, Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased in the year 1815, Miss. Sarah Baartman age was only approximately 25 years or 26 years old when she was deceased, she was a very young lady.
      The "bUSTLE" dress was created in the year 1857, it was approximately 40 years after Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased is when this "bUSTLE" dress was created.
      You see, the mockery that Miss. Sarah Baartman unfortunately had to endure in the early 1800s, years later became the benefit of the fashion for the white mans forth coming creation and credit of the "bUSTLE" dress. And you know why it became a benefit to the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white men and the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white women, it is very simple, it is because of the deep Jealously and Envy for the Beautiful Women of Color for many many years and for many different reasons they are Jealous and Envious. Even TODAY the guilty will NOT HARDLY FULLY AND COMPLETELY AND COMFORTABLY OPENLY WILLING TO STATE Outloud That They Think People of Color Are Beautiful People.
      Bottomline: The "bUSTLE" dress was a dress that immulated the figure of A Miss. Sarah Baartmans', A Tan/Brown/Black womans physical figure which in fact is what the guilty white men and the guilty white women "Always" wanted, To Look Like Those whom they Envied, so much so that white people began sun/bed tanning and getting skin cancer all while wanting darker skin so bad, butt lifts, lip boosting treatments, braids, they change the tone of voice they spoke in to even sound like the Naturally Tan/ Brown/Red/Black communities, the way they dress, the way the sing and there is much more. But here is the thing, there is Absolutely Nothing At All Wrong With Copying something good of another group of people, the problem comes in at the existance of Jealously and of Envy and The Disrespect Towards The Innocent of Those In Whom They(Guilty White Men AND Guilty White Women, The Guilty, Are Copying.
      So to this video, cool stuff, but now just be more historically educated about the real history behind the "bUSTLE" dress.
      One side note:
      There are many MANY white people who actually have collected black art pieces, paintings and figurines in their homes, in nice display but then walk out of their houses daily with much Jealously and much Envy in their hearts at their jobs at their churches at their social gatherings, it is THAT PART, that is also a problem.
      Just say you love The Tan/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Community and Move On With Life, It Is Okay To Verbally Openly Admit This, Isn't It?
      You go right on ahead and Copy The Tan/Brown/Black Community and Love It, and Then Openly Admit It. Simple.
      And By The Way, No One Is Superior, no one skin color is NOT AT ALL better than the other, God The Heavenly Father created US ALL AND HE Loves Us All No Matter The Skin Color and That Is How We All Should Be. So Let Us All Admire One Another In A Continual Positive Way, Copy Each Other In Fun AND IN BEAUTY and Enjoy Life and Began Genuinely Complimenting One Another Having No Mockery No Jealousy and Having No Envy

    That bustle is a showstopper, ha ha! I do wonder, would all women have such large bustles in this era? Or would it sort of shrink the lower down the social scale you went? What would a schoolteacher's bustle be like? Would a woman doing common labor wear one at all?

    i would kind of like a video or comment on warmth and cold. not just 'cover for the shade, layers for the warmth' but more like imagining a full day and how these rather decisive layers deal with the changing conditions of indoor, outdoor and physical activity. how often would an upperclass woman change outfits? what kinds of situational outfits might be commonly cycled through in these eras? you're kinda stuck in whatever you dress up in, how much can you alter it on the go?
    i also always lowkey wonder how they manage to keep their ballgowns spotless on their way to an evening ball, if its muddy or raining. would they just have to stick to safe paths and cover? im always about the logistical minutia

    I don't really understand why people are talking about it being exhausting to spend 8-15 minutes getting ready. There's so many things that people spend doing on a daily or weekly basis that would add up to much more than that. Manicures/pedicures, shaving, having hair dye and cuts maintained and styled, 15-25 min. makeup routine, etc. All equally non essential, as being so formal and having so many layers. Chances are most people commenting already spend 8-15 minutes or more getting ready to go out and probably more on average maintaining their appearance throughout the weeks/months of the year.

    This was profoundly fascinating to watch! One of my favorite book series as a child was The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are scenes discussing the clothing made and worn by the women in the books (especially once Laura and Mary reached their young adult years) that describe the entire makeup of the dresses, and watching your video brought those scenes to life so vividly for me! Especially concerning the bustle and how it's worn, the hair with the "lunatic fringe" and the switch! Thank you for this, it was very cool to see!

      Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always! Greetings!
      Miss. Sarah Baartman was a Beautiful Black South Western African woman from the 1800s, who was made out to be a mockery for the sick jealous envious white man, who had an obsession for Beautiful Curvey Shapely Black Women but the white men in the 1800s would never dare to openly verbally admit to Black Beauty of any knid; the 1800s white men, white women would never openly willingly admit to no type of Tan Brown Black Beauty, so instead of the jealous white men just simply stating that Black Women were Physically Beautiful and that they Have The Most Naturally Curvy Attractive Bodies, instead, what the sick jealous envious white men/women did was make a spectacule out of Miss. Miss. Sarah Baartman by making her take off all of her clothing, her being completely naked and they made Miss. Sarah Baartman stand naked on an open stage, where there was nothing but white men AND! white women in the audience where they all took turns verbally abusing her, verbally wickedly taunting her and just a great possibility she most likely got physically attacked behind closed doors, now it would be a good idea, only for those who are interested in this particular 1800s Black History incite, for you to go and look up, Google and research the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman or go the library nearest you and see photos of this Beautiful Naturally Shapely Curvy South Western African women, and very simply pay very close attention to her Beautiful curves, which is the immediate natural physical build of most of the Black Albino, Light Tan, Tan, Light Brown, Brown, Red, Chocolate Brown, Dark Brown, Brown Black, Blue Black communities. There are the African, American Black, Hispanic, Indian, Italian, Hawaiian women who all are well known to have natural physical shapely curvy figures.
      They made Miss. Sarah Baartman, A Literal "Exhibit" on A PUBLIC STAGE "EXCLUSIVELY" for the jealous sick white men and for the jealous sick white women.
      Now to the point of the "bustle" dress in this video, which "IRONICALLY" the "bUSTLE" dress was NUMBERED the number #1ONE DRESS of this commentary of history of dresses; so now, again, if you would just quickly take a moment and go and Google the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE VERY QUICKLY HOW THE "bUSTLE" DRESS IS SHAPED JUST LIKE MISS. SARAH BAARTMAN PHYSICAL BODY SHAPE.
      Now, Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased in the year 1815, Miss. Sarah Baartman age was only approximately 25 years or 26 years old when she was deceased, she was a very young lady.
      The "bUSTLE" dress was created in the year 1857, it was approximately 40 years after Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased is when this "bUSTLE" dress was created.
      You see, the mockery that Miss. Sarah Baartman unfortunately had to endure in the early 1800s, years later became the benefit of the fashion for the white mans forth coming creation and credit of the "bUSTLE" dress. And you know why it became a benefit to the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white men and the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white women, it is very simple, it is because of the deep Jealously and Envy for the Beautiful Women of Color for many many years and for many different reasons they are Jealous and Envious. Even TODAY the guilty will NOT HARDLY FULLY AND COMPLETELY AND COMFORTABLY OPENLY WILLING TO STATE Outloud That They Think People of Color Are Beautiful People.
      Bottomline: The "bUSTLE" dress was a dress that immulated the figure of A Miss. Sarah Baartmans', A Tan/Brown/Black womans physical figure which in fact is what the guilty white men and the guilty white women "Always" wanted, To Look Like Those whom they Envied, so much so that white people began sun/bed tanning and getting skin cancer all while wanting darker skin so bad, butt lifts, lip boosting treatments, braids, they change the tone of voice they spoke in to even sound like the Naturally Tan/ Brown/Red/Black communities, the way they dress, the way the sing and there is much more. But here is the thing, there is Absolutely Nothing At All Wrong With Copying something good of another group of people, the problem comes in at the existance of Jealously and of Envy and The Disrespect Towards The Innocent of Those In Whom They(Guilty White Men AND Guilty White Women, The Guilty, Are Copying.
      So to this video, cool stuff, but now just be more historically educated about the real history behind the "bUSTLE" dress.
      One side note:
      There are many MANY white people who actually have collected black art pieces, paintings and figurines in their homes, in nice display but then walk out of their houses daily with much Jealously and much Envy in their hearts at their jobs at their churches at their social gatherings, it is THAT PART, that is also a problem.
      Just say you love The Tan/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Community and Move On With Life, It Is Okay To Verbally Openly Admit This, Isn't It?
      You go right on ahead and Copy The Tan/Brown/Black Community and Love It, and Then Openly Admit It. Simple.
      And By The Way, No One Is Superior, no one skin color is NOT AT ALL better than the other, God The Heavenly Father created US ALL AND HE Loves Us All No Matter The Skin Color and That Is How We All Should Be. So Let Us All Admire One Another In A Continual Positive Way, Copy Each Other In Fun AND IN BEAUTY and Enjoy Life and Began Genuinely Complimenting One Another Having No Mockery No Jealousy and Having No Envy
