That was awesome! I had to go do an image search after this to see if I could find people like you in history. I looked for "Edwardian beach scenes". There weren't too many people that went out in deeper water.
Really fun and fascinating experience! The awkwardness of getting out of the water makes those little beach houses they used make a lot of sense! What woman wants to look awkward or clumsy on the beach?
Love this video. Like how you were fully committed to it with the wool stockings as well. Wish the water would have been clearer though to see you swim. Strange to think how a bathing dress from 100 years ago would be considered being too covered up now a days by some.
Would people also wear corset while going to the beach? I know certain beaches in England were more “permissive” and popular amongst people with “looseer morality “, there it must have been more common. I wonder if people frequenting regular beaches for the middle class wore their corsets?

Thank you! It was definitely a rare occasion for a lady to venture far out into the water.

Thank you for watching! I would have loved to have one of those little horse drawn beach houses! That would have been amazing!

Thanks! It was a really interesting experiment to do.
@@HistoricalBelle Yeah, I'd imagine swimming in a skirt is interesting, what with the air bubble getting under it and the billowing and what not.
Thank you for the video. It must have been an interesting and enjoyable experience.

There are documented bathing corsets. A special type of corset that ladies would wear to the beach. As to who wore them wear I am not sure.
I just love it when you go under water!!
Thank you. I was really interested to see how the outfit would do under water and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to swim in.
Looked like a blast LOL
Haha It was!!
I like to see ya swimming in any dress! :)
So how is it? Liked?
Love when the dress inflates and makes a huge balloon
