That's why I look for older clothing in the resale shops. They last a very long time plus I'm starting to make my own clothes. They will fit better and be made from more durable fabrics
@@ximena15367 I'm just starting and already had to cut myself out of a mockup of the top of the dress I'm making. It went down over the tatas but it didnt want to come back up. It's all about trial and error
I love that you’re talking more in your videos. I know that sounds strange but when you have to read off to the side, it takes away from seeing what you’re doing. Plus you have a pleasant voice.
I absolutely adore this new format. I really like you talking to us instead of voiceover or print--it feels much more personal. And I like how you're telling us about each piece and how it was built and the history of it. Keep doing what you're doing, this is amazing! Also, could we maybe see some 1890s content? It seems to be a trend on CosTube currently (presumably in part because of your 1890s ball --sorry that was postponed), and I'd love to learn more about the era.
My favorite thing about this was seeing the dress in movement! I absolutely love seeing how mobile you are in this. From a picture of a dress with a bustle you might think it was really encumbering and heavy, but it just swings around! I love how you can just get down and ready to be quick in the game. Also, I'd hate to be in an alley at night with you. You have some moves.
i'd love a gallery of historical costumes in motion, too often people take pictures in elegant, still poses but seeing you move around is always my favorite part of a video and theres something dramatic about all those layers in movement
I love this new format where you speak directly to camera, and of course, where you showcase the ensemble of different events, not only ballgowns and the like.💝💐💕
I love that you're doing voice overs now! I think it adds a lot of personality to your videos and really takes them a step further, showing who is making these fantastic outfits. Loved your channel for years and I'm excited to see the things you do next! :)
There should be a “Button Count” at the end of each video. Must have been close to 40 in this one. The way she got her arms behind her on top of the bustle to button up was unbelievable. I would have had joints dislocating. LOL.
28 minutes lenght video, and not a single advertising, people...i think we could all appreciate that. The vast majority of UA-camrs would have filled it. Btw you could add a couple of ads in such long videos, it's only a matter of moderation. PS i really love the relatively new type of videos, they have become even more educative!
A lady in her corset kickboxing, loved it! Thank you for showing the wide range of corsets, and their use, and all things ladies could do in their corsets, and how practical corsets could be.
I just ADORE the line of that corset. I’m not really “up” on the terminology, but the way the busk (or, rather, it’s silhouette,) sweeps straight up under the bust, without any cupping, well.. it’s really very flattering! The whole dress is gorgeous, tbh, and that green stripe really suits you 👍🏼😊.
I have a lot of those boot buttons from my Great Grandmothers button box. I had no idea they were shoe buttons but my Great G'ma apparently cut the buttons off of everything she had when it was worn out.
Sometimes they're not boot buttons. Shank buttons were popular for coats and heavy outerwear too. I quit cutting buttons off when I discovered that I had a box full of them. Now I just cut the fun ones to reuse.
Thank you for another lovely video and for again busting the myth that many ladies of the late 1800s onward did I fact not just sit still and look pretty, but rather participated in all sorts of recreational activities such as cycling, golf, horse riding and in this case tennis.
Watching you do push ups and kickboxing in that corset at the end. . .it's amazing. The only thing that looked like it would be uncomfortable after a long day would be the shoes for me. Thank you for the lovely video.
I would love to see one of these more detailed talk-throughs on that lovely white fluffy early edwardian ensemble of yours. i've been trying to mentally deconstruct it for months to make something similar lol
UA-cam is such a strange place. I'm addicted to this channel, and Baumgartner's fine art restoration videos. I can't get enough yet am not even remotely connected to either community/activity lol. Awesome video yet again! Fascinating stuff. If I ever do happen upon historical actors in real life, my questions will make them think I'm a genius lol Definitely won't ask if they're hot in all those layers.
It is simply amazing at how well you are able to move. I love how the outfits are deceptive. It is this gorgeous dress that seems like it would be restrictive and keep you doing nothing but sitting down. But thanks to the careful well thought out construction of everything from combinations, that amazing corset, and the light weight dress that allows you to have the fashionable bustle, it is indeed sports gear for the well dressed 1885 woman! I wish I could dress in some of these amazing outfits. Your talent never fails to astound me!
Fascinating. First of all it’s a lovely gown. Second of all I appreciate you narrating the entire thing. Third I truly truly appreciate the attention to detail. I have never seen a buttonhook in action or in person. I did not know about tapes holding the flounces in place. I just really really appreciate this thank you very much
Amazing video! I love all the little details and closeups. I've never seen a button hook in action from up close. I greatly appreciate the CC, I could understand everything much better. Thank you for creating incredible content for us ♥ looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much for debunking the idea that Victorian era women's clothing were torture devices invented by men. Clearly, the fabrics were breathable, and the design accommodated normal movement.
I would love to see today's tennis players wear this attire and see how they found it while playing . Beautiful attire for playing tennis and I love the idea of the summer corset so much movement while still giving good support
i used to work in a small antique shop in Manhattan that specialized in Victorian to the mid 20th century Art Deco we sold a lot of those petty coats as skirts LOL! and other pieces of undergarments I wonder what our great Grandmothers would have thought see us wearing their underwear out in public as regular outfits
I love this new format, priorattire. It's nice to hear a real time voiced explanation. Loved the attire as well, like always. Keep up the good work and stay safe and healthy.
I LOVE 1880s bustle dresses! It is my favorite silhouette 💕🤗 and this is beautiful! Also, I love the way you have your hair fixed! I would LOVE to see a video on how you fix your hair for different periods! 😍
This is fantastic! Love the mixture of direct address to camera and closed captions, wonderful to listen to, very informative and fascinating to see all the construction details of such an outfit! Love the sports larking around at the end, and the extant examples at the sides were an incredibly useful touch, thank you!
I just watched a recent episode of The Gilded Age where a game of 1880s tennis was played, and my mind immediately went to this video! I like to think that the costume designers for the show watched this video because the sports dresses looked pretty good!!
Delightful, and one of my favorite dresses you have designed. And that corset! Here in Kentucky USA it would be a necessity. Now to save up for book 2...love the first volume. Happy summertime...
I always wondered how a button hook worked and what it looked like! I was sat with my mouth wide open! What a fantastically handy tool! Also you absolutely SLAYED punching and kicking that bag in a corset to bust those myths.
Love this dress, I wish we did dress more formal like this at times. Imagine if a star stepped out on the red carpet in something like this or an evening version? The late 19th early 20th century fashions are by far my favorite and I love this gown!
Great video, thank you so much for creating such interesting & fun videos. I especially loved seeing the close up of you buttoning the shoes & the corset details. Fashions were so beautiful back then.
Your gown is far prettier than the one in the Met. I’m so impressed and amazed at the beautiful result you attained! I enjoyed watching you play a mock tennis game. It brought back girlhood memories of all my days at the courts. Of course, we just through on a tiny little dress with tennis “panties” for all to see! Oh dear, what WERE we thinking?
The way the music faded in and out whenever you spoke, especially as whatever program you're using isn't always sure when you're speaking, is a bit distracting. But it's worth it to hear your lovely voice over reading cards.
I'll bet some of those tennis movements would be forbidden for deportment! :) The dress was great and the corset is actually a lot less restrictive than I thought
Love the format of this video. I like the explanation of little details and reasoning behind the construction. Also, the ambient bird song is lovely. Well done!
Thank you I so enjoy your videos. Being so much cotton it would be comfy. With the breathable fabric would be wonderful. And the look is very smart. I do prefer the color in yours to the original. I guess it's because it is a favorite of mine. Just so lovely. And of course don't mess with you or your kitty.
Oh, my goodness - you are a fearsome beast in your underclothes! (...no doubt a delightful distraction from your genteel tailoring) ...and your entire outfit is stunning too!
This is one of the best videos I've seen of yours! I love all of the details and the extra time it took. Watching you play tennis was wonderful but watching you do a little bit of kickboxing in the corset was superb! Lol! I loved it!
I love the fact you begun to talk in your videos! Your voice is beautiful and your accent is very agreeable to the ears! Also, I love how women used to dress up elegantly for exercises and sports, I've seem that women used some dresses in gyms during circa the end of the Victorian era, could you do a video about ancient gym clothes as well? I'm also interested about learning more about the clothes from dudes too. Your channel has helped me a lot with imagining the scenario and setting of a book I'm writing, so I thank you a lot for your greatly informative videos.
I love the new videos, hearing you speak and giving all this great information. For some reason you look so much younger. I’ve no idea why. The combinations look super, they look so crisp and comfortable. Don’t you find that the rubberised garters are more prone to cutting off your circulation in a way that fabric doesn’t. I love love love your boots. They are fabulous
I completely and absolutely adore this! Thank you thank you thank you so much for the close-ups; they are vital!! I can't begin to tell you how much I really enjoy!!
I have a pattern for an 1880's kilt skirt! Unfortunately there are no instructions (digital reproduction of an old pattern book) so seeing a finished product is a BIG help! Great videos!❤😉
I loved this video so much! It was so nice hearing you talk, you have such a sweet voice! And I love the summer corset so much! I want one! This was so awesome and informative, it was nice to see you demonstrate both how the layers all go together, and actually playing tennis in it! Its totally different actually seeing history come to life, to see how it works. Thank you!
This is a lovely dress! I love the light green color. Also, I love that you went into more detail about the outfit than you have in the past. More info is good! One nitpick about the video. The constantly changing volume of the music was very distracting. Perhaps you could try using a steady volume that's quiet enough for us to hear you speak clearly. That way, the silence is filled, but you don't have the distracting volume changes.
Yassss. I'm writing a gaslamp fantasy (like steampunk) novel, and my main character is a woman who hunts supernatural creatures. This is oh-so inspiring!
I love the detail that people in Victorian era put into their gowns, this gown will last longer than my last relationship.
That's why I look for older clothing in the resale shops. They last a very long time plus I'm starting to make my own clothes. They will fit better and be made from more durable fabrics
@@jasminehagerman6329 Man I don't have the bravely for that and I don't know how to sew. -_-

@@jasminehagerman6329 Thanks for replying to me, What are you making?
@@ximena15367 it's a 1950s era dress. The cut is very flattering to my shape. Tighter up top and lose at the bottom hiding all my lumps and bumps.
I like the natural commentary much better than the voiceover!
I love that you’re talking more in your videos. I know that sounds strange but when you have to read off to the side, it takes away from seeing what you’re doing. Plus you have a pleasant voice.
Ok, the kickboxing demonstration thoroughly impressed me. This Victorian lady can do some damage!

getting a priorattire notification: 🙂
seeing it's a half an hour: 😀
seeing that Isabel narrates the whole thing: 🥰🥰🥰
My favorite thing about this was seeing the dress in movement! I absolutely love seeing how mobile you are in this. From a picture of a dress with a bustle you might think it was really encumbering and heavy, but it just swings around! I love how you can just get down and ready to be quick in the game. Also, I'd hate to be in an alley at night with you. You have some moves.
i'd love a gallery of historical costumes in motion, too often people take pictures in elegant, still poses but seeing you move around is always my favorite part of a video and theres something dramatic about all those layers in movement

I feel like whoever thought up the bustle must have been quite taken with centaurs.
Am enjoying the new video format where you’re talking to us - easier also to see. Thank you for showing us the lovely old dress styles.

Thank you for showing the wide range of corsets, and their use, and all things ladies could do in their corsets, and how practical corsets could be.
Good game, Isabela! Loved it when you showed your 21st century side. And Merlin, of course! Hugs from USA!!
I just ADORE the line of that corset. I’m not really “up” on the terminology, but the way the busk (or, rather, it’s silhouette,) sweeps straight up under the bust, without any cupping, well.. it’s really very flattering! The whole dress is gorgeous, tbh, and that green stripe really suits you 👍🏼😊.

The drapery,pleating and smocking really make this outfit stunning.Home made lemonade and barley water anyone?😂😍👌
That triumphant music swells as you finally use the button hook 😂
I really don't want to come up against Mme Prior Attire in a fight! :)

Stunning work, love it!
Finally a clear video about layers and proper wear for activities. I have never been so happy to see a video in my life! Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much for debunking the idea that Victorian era women's clothing were torture devices invented by men.

I had no idea the drapes were a separate piece!!! You're blowing my mind!!!
they can be separate or they can be mounted together on the the skirt. lots of options
Lovely dress. Lovely accent. Loved it!!!
Imagine a victorian lady doing kickboxing 🤣 I loved your demonstration of the mobility in the summer corsett 🤭💪
Some women were professionals in boxing in the Victorian Era.
@@EXO-L45 boxing and kickboxing isn't the same though.
