I bought Function of Beauty after seeing an ad for it in a different Bernadette video, and unfortunately I loved it and now I’m addicted to subscription shampoo. 😡
Welcome! I assure you, the rest of Bernadette's stuff is JUST as interesting - I heartily recommend her "I hand sewed a pirate shirt" video - if that doesn't make you want to take up sewing, nothing will! I honestly just bought the materials to make my own within the last month. I'm jazzed about the project, but I haven't had the time to get into it yet!
I've been watching a few years and is a perfect intersection between crafts and history for me, even though I don't do any myself. One of these days though.
young lady here (17) and i feel you.. i wear ripped jeans, plain shirts, and have multiple piercings but i always find myself enjoying watching bernadette's stuff 😭
Imagine you're just hanging out in the park when a woman dressed in full period accurate 1910s style attire shows up and you have to accept that you've been exposed as the absolute casual you are for daring to wear jeans and a T-shirt outside on a bright sunny afternoon.
I think she’s in London. If she is I can report that way weirder things have happened. A lady who dresses like she’s from the 1700s regularly walks through Greenwich park at the weekends. No one bats an eyelid.
Happened to me. She was however dressed in Italian Renaissance style with a red silk brockade dress, a complex jewelled necklace and a double layer of pearls in her fancy hairdo... I think that her attire cost more than a car... I was in awe.
I love this look on other people. But I could never wear it daily. Can you imagine cutting the grass in a corset? Or weeding? I can't imagine riding a bicycle in long skirts, although I know women did. These dresses are beautiful because of the foundational garments and women today are expected to do for ourselves. Skirts and corsets don't work when you need to be able to sweat and use a full range of motion. These fashions sharply declined as women needed physical freedom working outside the home. Dressing like this is beautiful, but would be so much work. I do like dressing up and wear long dresses on the dance floor. But for daily use? If I'm expected to work as hard as the men around me and be fully self sufficient, I'll not have my clothes limit me.
My three-year-old: "But is she going to fly away?" Me: "Well no, she's a person; she can't fly." "But she has the umbrella! Maybe she needs to go get a bag like Mary Poppins." ❤️❤️
I've never looked at any vintage dress and thought "I'd wear that" before. But holy moly, I love the look of this dress so much. I'd wear that happily.
I think Edwardian is one of my favorite fashion periods. It's very "simple" in look, but has so many nuances when you look deeper. And it's very pretty.
@@NicBran07 I have no idea but it makes me so sad and the thing is I don't like wearing dresses but if the dresses looked like this I'd wear them all day everyday
@@missmikell8827 and have you tried what is feel like to wear it? and wear it all day, every day , for all occasions? /I havent, but would love to try/
@@catepilarr I used to wear corsetry a LOT for varied ocassions> unfortunately my post baby complete lack of any form of weight control body no longer can handle it. But honestly, had I still my hourglass look, I could wear a full body, over hips corset all day every day. It felt good to take off, but supported me SO much better than a bra and my shoulders and back would stretch nicely and relax overnight instead of waking into a pretzel, only to deal with heavy digging straps into my damaged neck muscles.
I was wondering if the corselette would translate into a swiss waist, but that, admittedly, would be more appropriate for the 1860s. So the sash is a much more appropriate choice
I've seen swiss waists in the late 19th c. but there they seem like an anachronistic personal choice. James Tissot used one in a painting -"The Political Woman"- and a critic noted the style was decades out of date- and that "It's one of those dresses which never seems to end...and you wish it would"
@@ericalbany I've seen a few on ballgowns of the 1880s but they seem few and far between, very much statement pieces in stripes or a contrasting color, usually strangely long to accomodate for the long waist of the 1880s, leading to sn awkward look, much like in the piece by Tissot
I always thought that's what they were trying to evoke in the movie since the 1950s had some silhouette overlap with the 1860s. Would have been recognizably "historical" to the movie audience at the time while still maintaining the 1950s shape.
As somebody who knows nothing about female fashion, it's quite amazing to see you put on the various layers and then when the dress itself goes on the perfect period-accurate profile appears! It would seem like magic, had not the steps be demonstrated one at a time.
I always thought that Julie Andrew's "tea dress" was shorter and more full-skirted than the ones my Edwardian grandmother wore simply to accommodate the dance she did with Dick Van Dyke. A true Edwardian lingerie dress wouldn't have moved as dramatically or given the dancer so much freedom of movement.
@@onemercilessming1342 Not as good as the original, but it's charming, & worth it just to see Dick Van Dyke. I saw it in the theater, & I swear his eyes twinkled. I actually enjoyed it more the 2nd time, because I wasn't comparing it to the original.
When we watched this growing up we were told that the dress was short enough so that Julie Andrews would not trip while dancing. One would not want one of the stars with broken bones.
@@vladeckk21 Assuming everything was lightweight and breathable, probably very comfortable, no matter how hot the day might be. The moment you throw a synthetic layer into the mix, however, it can easily become unbearable.
The dress is beautiful! I can't imagine making a white dress, all by hand, and then stepping outside where it could get snagged, stained, torn, or sun-yellowed.
@Carla Waldivk Absolutely agree! Has she or her compatriots, like Abby, made videos concerning cleaning the garments they make? I cannot imagine tossing them in the wash!
But then..why go through making a beautiful dress as such..and not getting to experience it outside as they would have in Edwardian times? Many times she had her dress gathered in her left hand..but I believe after the year and a half it took to make this lovely piece..she wanted to experience the fruit of her labors..it would be shameful to make the dress to just stare at,you want to see it outside,in the fresh air,under the warm sun..I’m sure she’s very careful with her garments..but I enjoyed seeing her run and frolic in something she hand made-and turned out beautiful! JMO!
@@Blackthorne369 I watched a video from the 1980s where a woman who lived during 1910s talked about how after getting home 'the girls' would spend "hours and hours, just brushing brushing brushing the hems" and how a skirt braid was advertised as easy to clean but definitely wasn't! And back then it would likely have been a mix of coal and horse manure, too 😅 Very interesting nonetheless
As they used to say, you look like you just stepped out of a fashion plate! You look beautiful, Bernadette, and that dress fully captures the feel of the original Mary Poppins dress, while somehow feeling more “right”. Now I want a floofy dress to float around in! 😍
"A little extra skirt fluff will not go amiss in this circumstances and certainly won't be seen." I just love seeing you do what you love and how much time you spend on these projects -- thank you thank you thank you for your dedication! And what a pleasure to see you have the patience to do such detail, and the knowledge as well to be able to say, "Yeah, well: this wouldn't be 100% accurate by this period, but it's certainly good enough."
11:34 looks like it could be an actual photograph from the edwardian period, all we need is a filter. but the angle, the way the sunlight is shining on you, everything took me back to that period edit: also 11:53
Completely unrelated but the plaid dress you're wearing in the intro is stunning! Edit now that I've finished the video: well done! It has been such a labor of love and I can tell how much you have put into the whole dress. It looks amazing. Absolutely phenomenal.
So wonderful!! Time really flies when one is waiting for a period appropriate Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday dress… can’t believe it has been a year and a half! You are simply amazing. Such a talented woman. Thank you and congrats!
Y'know, with the scene in the park, now I want even more to put on my history-bounding kinda outfit (long black hooded cloak, velvety ankle-length skirt, white blouse, corset, etc.) and walk around the local cemetery.... You just look so wonderfully elegant! I could only hope to be that ethereal and timeless.
The reveal is stupendous. For some reason I think of the elegance of Audrey Hepburn in Sound of Music. You look beautiful in this lovely very detailed gown.
Bernadette you are so beautiful in all of your creations. And now a days I love that you have been making little videos where you really embody the character through the garment. I just love how your videos have evolved.
Am I the only one who wishes we could have finally seen Bernadette actually wear that bust bodice she made for the Worth dress project with this dress? Just me? Okay… But in all seriousness, I can’t complain. I’ve been looking forward to this video ever since the announcement of this project, and the result has, as always, blown me away!
STUNNING. Just stunning. I can't imagine how you must be feeling - you've been toiling over this project for ages and to see it whole must feel absolutely glorious. Gorgeous work!
Ohmylanta. I am SO GLAD to see you in this! Iv been so excited about this creation and it was definitely worth the time ! You are so good! Enjoy your frolic!
I've been so excited to see this finished! I absolutely love this project and it turned out WONDERFULLY. The inspiration is so clear and yet it does feel truly period, I could see this stepping straight out of a museum display.
Absolutely gorgeous! The way it flows and moves, having weight and lightness all at the same time. Fabulous. My favourite so far. Chef's kiss, 10/10 would recommend.
I really love how this dress turned out! Seeing the process of how you made it was really interesting and I admire your persistence. The promenade in the park shoots are soo gorgeous ❤️
This is incredibly cool, the editing and filming is fantastic on top of how excellently the dress is made, and it's great to see a condensed explanation of the dress and your process.
It turned out so beautifully! The shaping is very much Edwardian, and I love how it stays faithful to the source material while still very much looking period accurate. Apologies for this comment, but I was taken aback by the scenery during the reveal. I frequently rewatch your Marie Antoinette dress video and was pleasantly surprised by how much your workspace & filming areas have changed since then. Thank you for giving your all into this project, it looks gorgeous and the dedication you had to complete it is admirable. Have a good day!
Bernadette you are such a joy; so much so even your shampoo commercial is fun and since the ad is in the video I can always find it if I go back to Mary Poppins. thank you, for all the knowledge.
Omg I basically squealed a bit when I saw this uploaded! I've started making my own lingerie blouse, starting with the sleeves! and... I'm halfway through ironing 10m (!!!???WAI!!) Of cotton voile. Who knew it'd be such a workout, especially after the 2nd hour of it! Thank you for inspiring me to learn to make and mend my own clothing, got your book and currently reading it through and through !
Thank you for taking the time to make and walk us through the process of a historically accurate version of the iconic dress. I love MP; having read the original first book, seeing the movies and now just having taken my children to see the musical in London (which I highly recommend). I am in awe of your work. Thank you, again!
Dear Bernadette, i have been (mostly silently) part of this historical sewing jouney for some time now after I sadly had to drop out of your patreon and noticed some kind of developement in your videos. It seems to me you have grown more confidence in displaying your work over the years. Giving this video - where no sewing is happening - its main purpose to me seems to be to simply give the garments the attention they deserve. As a fellow sewist and craftswoman I know how time consuming working by hand is- and i love, love, love the idea of this video. An "lengthy" (in tiktok-age terms) "outfit reveal" where (some) of the details you have put your time into get their moment on this stage called youtube. I really feel like you appreciate your own craftswomanship. All of this, of course, is very subjective and written from my own point of view. but truly, accompanying your journey is one of the major inspirations of my creative journey! Thank you for sharing Angelika (Geli) :)
You are a rockstar, love the dress and appreciate all the work that went into it! Also love watching your promotion section- I was seriously cracking up, anytime you want to make modern day/style commercials in Edwardian dress and for Edwardian product😆
OMGeeee she turned out so perfect !!!!! i think you are a time traveller ! you manage to create the prettiest things from any time ! cant wait to see what chaos comes out of you next
I’ll never tired of just listening you, I love your passion I wish I also have it. Here , just a novice in the middle of all Edwardian sewing stuff loving every bit of it. P.s- I forgot to tell that I love you…. Then again don’t we all?!!!!
The amount of care, talent, research, and time that Bernadette put into this dress makes it a true work of art. Mary Poppins is one of my favorite films so it was so interesting to learn more about what the dress would've accurately looked like. So cool!
One of my regrets of my recent trip to London is NOT running into Bernadette frolicking in a park. That said...this dress turned out BEAUTIFUL!! Your hand work is amazing, and I wish I had the patience to do something like this.
Bernadette, you could walk straight into the past and everyone would be just as amazed with you as we all are! That is a dream dress that all of us would love to have, been wanting one since seeing this movie so long ago. I would love it if you had a 100% accurate Victorian clothing store. I would be your first customer for sure!
* diligently watches and waits for every video in this series since it began and sees the ridiculously impressive amounts of work and skill that went into making such a beautiful piece of worn art * Me a sewing novice: I could totally make this right? 😁😅😂 Also it would be super cool to see a video where you show and examine the internal construction of some of your own projects like one would look at actual historical pieces! I think it would be a really fun video and also super educational for people who are learning to make this stuff themselves! We could get to see what your finished projects look like from the inside!
@@zumbinis I love Abby’s videos! 😁 I just think it could be cool to see that style of examination of a garment from Bernadette about something that she’s made! 😄
My great grandmother was married in 1905. She had a laced white shirt with a flowing coat and wide brim hat. Looks like she came off the titanic. I’ve been fascinated with that period of clothing. Just lovely and distinguished. Mary Poppins was pure charming The dress you made was exquisite. Stunning.
The dress came out stunning but watching it when she ran through the dirt path made me so worried about the edges getting dirty. I wonder about this for all longer historical dresses/skirts. Seems like they would have spent alot of time cleaning and repairing frayed edges
I don't know if it was still a Jing at that time but I believe some historical dresses had a longer inner layer of sturdier cheap fabric just to bear the brunt of exposure to dust and so forth
I wish we dressed like this these days both men and women. I watched early 1900’s videos of New York and the way everyone dressed makes me very envious. The dress looks absolutely beautiful n you.
I love it! This dress is so beautiful! The reveal brought joy to my day, every part is like a wonderful painting! Thank You!!!❤ The last part was sad and very funny, I know U will laugh a lot every time U remember that! Regards from Brazil!!!
That costume was beautiful and the ladies Edwardian clothing was amazing. The perportions with the bussel was nicely understated compared to earlier periods. Ive seen images of clothing using pattern silks with a chinese design. These l thing were a hint of the twenties styles to come.. perhaps.
Im making that belt out of doubled hot pink organic cotton lawn that im using for a circle skirt, and I've decided to making a black silk thread and beaded applique for the centre front. Though i think ill put the boning in between the layers of fabric.
Can you share how stains were removed from such lovely garments? I have always wondered. This dress is absolutely gorgeous. You have blessed us with all of your effort to show us magnificent handiwork and how this amazing craft of Summer dresses came to be. Thank you

Imagine you're just hanging out in the park when a woman dressed in full period accurate 1910s style attire shows up and you have to accept that you've been exposed as the absolute casual you are for daring to wear jeans and a T-shirt outside on a bright sunny afternoon.
I think she’s in London. If she is I can report that way weirder things have happened. A lady who dresses like she’s from the 1700s regularly walks through Greenwich park at the weekends. No one bats an eyelid.
I think she mostly films in the same park, so the people around there might be used to seeing her by now.
I for one would be looking at her with a certain amount of jealousy since the dress looks so light and cool, even knowing that there are layers!
I don't have to imagine it...and I'm entirely fine with it.
Happened to me. She was however dressed in Italian Renaissance style with a red silk brockade dress, a complex jewelled necklace and a double layer of pearls in her fancy hairdo... I think that her attire cost more than a car... I was in awe.
I just love the way this dress moves and froths like foam as you walk around in it. So beautiful! Why don't we dress like this anymore?? 😅
Hi how're you doing?
I love this look on other people. But I could never wear it daily. Can you imagine cutting the grass in a corset? Or weeding? I can't imagine riding a bicycle in long skirts, although I know women did. These dresses are beautiful because of the foundational garments and women today are expected to do for ourselves.

If I'm expected to work as hard as the men around me and be fully self sufficient, I'll not have my clothes limit me.
Because you'd take at least half an hour to put on your clothes properly.

"But she has the umbrella! Maybe she needs to go get a bag like Mary Poppins."

Thank you for inspiring me to learn to make and mend my own clothing, got your book and currently reading it through and through !
Thank you for taking the time to make and walk us through the process of a historically accurate version of the iconic dress. I love MP; having read the original first book, seeing the movies and now just having taken my children to see the musical in London (which I highly recommend). I am in awe of your work. Thank you, again!
gotta love having you pop back up on my feed for one of my favourite movies ever
Dear Bernadette,
i have been (mostly silently) part of this historical sewing jouney for some time now after I sadly had to drop out of your patreon and noticed some kind of developement in your videos. It seems to me you have grown more confidence in displaying your work over the years. Giving this video - where no sewing is happening - its main purpose to me seems to be to simply give the garments the attention they deserve. As a fellow sewist and craftswoman I know how time consuming working by hand is- and i love, love, love the idea of this video. An "lengthy" (in tiktok-age terms) "outfit reveal" where (some) of the details you have put your time into get their moment on this stage called youtube. I really feel like you appreciate your own craftswomanship. All of this, of course, is very subjective and written from my own point of view. but truly, accompanying your journey is one of the major inspirations of my creative journey! Thank you for sharing

Have you ever done an accuracy video on the fashions from the show “The Gilded Age”? I would LOVE to hear your take!
Commenting on my comment just to boost it or something. Idk how the algorithm works.
Lovely. Can see your passion for what you do and it sure did result in detailed beauty.
OMG that shower shot was amazing!
Glorious! You continue to remind me of a young Audrey Hepburn - what an exquisite dress - Brava
You are a rockstar, love the dress and appreciate all the work that went into it! Also love watching your promotion section- I was seriously cracking up, anytime you want to make modern day/style commercials in Edwardian dress and for Edwardian product😆
So pretty. You did a really really stunning job on the construction.
OMGeeee she turned out so perfect !!!!! i think you are a time traveller ! you manage to create the prettiest things from any time ! cant wait to see what chaos comes out of you next
What an amazing work! How intricate the lace work is! It's so satisfying to watch
I’ll never tired of just listening you, I love your passion I wish I also have it.
Here , just a novice in the middle of all Edwardian sewing stuff loving every bit of it.
P.s- I forgot to tell that I love you…. Then again don’t we all?!!!!
I hope that Bernadette finds herself in NYC for the Easter Parade in her Mary Poppins regalia. It is such a beautiful garment!
Wow, absolutely stunning dress!
Staaaaawwwppp it’s perfect, literally SO gorgeous
This made me re-watch both the old and the new marry poppins! (where I felt in love with the coat from the new one).
Beautiful!!!! Love the shoes . Everything ! Thank you
The amount of care, talent, research, and time that Bernadette put into this dress makes it a true work of art. Mary Poppins is one of my favorite films so it was so interesting to learn more about what the dress would've accurately looked like. So cool!
BRILLIANT! If only Julie Andrews had been so lucky!! You are an amazing artist!
This dress is incredibly beautiful
Absolutely stunning!
One of my regrets of my recent trip to London is NOT running into Bernadette frolicking in a park. That said...this dress turned out BEAUTIFUL!! Your hand work is amazing, and I wish I had the patience to do something like this.
Bernadette, you could walk straight into the past and everyone would be just as amazed with you as we all are! That is a dream dress that all of us would love to have, been wanting one since seeing this movie so long ago. I would love it if you had a 100% accurate Victorian clothing store. I would be your first customer for sure!
this is the most beautiful dress i've ever seen
* diligently watches and waits for every video in this series since it began and sees the ridiculously impressive amounts of work and skill that went into making such a beautiful piece of worn art *
Me a sewing novice:
I could totally make this right?
😁😅😂
Also it would be super cool to see a video where you show and examine the internal construction of some of your own projects like one would look at actual historical pieces!
I think it would be a really fun video and also super educational for people who are learning to make this stuff themselves! We could get to see what your finished projects look like from the inside!
Dress Collector and historian Abby Cox is also here on UA-cam and does talk this way about the historical clothing she collects. Look her up !

I love Abby’s videos! 😁
I just think it could be cool to see that style of examination of a garment from Bernadette about something that she’s made! 😄
My great grandmother was married in 1905. She had a laced white shirt with a flowing coat and wide brim hat.
Looks like she came off the titanic.
I’ve been fascinated with that period of clothing.
Just lovely and distinguished.
Mary Poppins was pure charming
The dress you made was exquisite.
Stunning.
I'm simply in awe at your skill and commitment to historical accuracies. I love watching all of your videos!
Practically perfect in every way.
That was the most whimsical and subtly hilarious ad I’ve seen!
The dress came out stunning but watching it when she ran through the dirt path made me so worried about the edges getting dirty. I wonder about this for all longer historical dresses/skirts. Seems like they would have spent alot of time cleaning and repairing frayed edges
I've been wondering about that too. Especially since it's all pure white fabric
Cotton launders beautifully. And bleach was definitely a thing back then! 🤍🤍🤍
I don't know if it was still a Jing at that time but I believe some historical dresses had a longer inner layer of sturdier cheap fabric just to bear the brunt of exposure to dust and so forth
*thing
Sometimes the bottom six inches could be easily removed for extra laundering and reattached.
Holy lace! And if only fashion was still this classy.
The reveal gave me goosebumps! And I loved seeing the layers and order in which one would've gotten dressed!
you look so beautiful in this. thank you for sharing your incredible creation
I wish we dressed like this these days both men and women. I watched early 1900’s videos of New York and the way everyone dressed makes me very envious. The dress looks absolutely beautiful n you.
Breathtaking!
I have so much respect for you and your carft!
Practically perfect in every way!
I am blown away with how gorgeous this dress is!
This is absolutely beautiful! The clothing you make is remarkable and your videos are very informative and entertaining 😊
I love it! This dress is so beautiful! The reveal brought joy to my day, every part is like a wonderful painting! Thank You!!!❤ The last part was sad and very funny, I know U will laugh a lot every time U remember that! Regards from Brazil!!!
Ingredients that ad read was beautiful 👌👌
That costume was beautiful and the ladies Edwardian clothing was amazing. The perportions with the bussel was nicely understated compared to earlier periods. Ive seen images of clothing using pattern silks with a chinese design. These l thing were a hint of the twenties styles to come.. perhaps.
I am absolutely crazy in love with this woman
I cant get enough 🥰
Stunning!!!!! What an amazing adventure to follow
Seriously, the sponsored section of this video is briliantly done!
Im making that belt out of doubled hot pink organic cotton lawn that im using for a circle skirt, and I've decided to making a black silk thread and beaded applique for the centre front. Though i think ill put the boning in between the layers of fabric.
According to my professor of AP historical fashion....you actually got more accurate than the movie! The expert has spoken!
Can you share how
stains were removed from such lovely garments? I have always wondered. This dress is absolutely gorgeous. You have blessed us with all of your effort to show us magnificent handiwork and how this amazing craft of Summer dresses came to be. Thank you
I especially like the plaid dress worn in the introduction of this video. Of course the Mary Poppins dress is fantastic as well!
Looks great, Bernadette!
I was so excited to see that you had finally finished your Mary Poppins dress! And it perfect! So beautiful! Well done!
As a 62 year old cabinetmaker, I find your videos fascinating . A totally different yet similar skill. I did skip past the underwear bit...
Quite dashing Mme. Poppins!
Such a jolly holiday!
Soooo beautiful! You did an AMAZING job! Love it!
