    Women didn't tight lace their corsets. That's a myth. while they did wear corsets, the invention of the crinoline as well as voluminous skirts, helped create a "tiny" waist, by tricking the eye. There are several cos-tubers that go into detail about it.

      Our idea of cleaniness is very different than theirs. So long as there's no visible dirt, it was good, for home use atleast. A surgeon may do more. Remember, germ theory didn't even exist at the start of the period.

    People who enjoyed this video may enjoy reading "Period Piece" by Gwen Raverat, a granddaughter of Charles Darwin, a story of her childhood reminiscences in Edwardian times. It includes such gems as one of her aunts being told as a young lady by the doctor that since she had a cold, it might help if she had breakfast in bed for a few days. She then had breakfast in bed for the rest of her life!

    What about the vast majority of women during the Victorian era?. Most were not wealthy, did not have fancy dresses much less someone to dress them. The daily life of the typical woman in the Victorian era was nothing like this at all.

    What is unclear is when a lady might complete her toilet (a poo). I presume this would be done before she dressed as she probably wanted to wash intimate areas first. Moreover, by being in a state of undress, the lady could poo without the danger of soiling her underclothes. That would be a real stinker and her friends might no longer wish to pay her a visit.

    The part about women being “ the Angel of the house” stay at home moms with the house and children being their main focus… NOTHING wrong with that. Look where we are now. Children being raised by others because women rather focus on themselves , their income , their carrier .. “oh wait I got kids with needs ? “ Stop fooling yourself , deep down you know it’s wrong to leave your kids in someone else’s care. People who tell you not to feel guilty are liars ! Feel very guilty . For husbands it’s so much more relax if they don’t need to worry about these things ( day care.. house hold chores) . Even feminists men ( 🤔) feel this deep down. They are the providers . Even without biblical motivation , it’s biological ! It’s scientifically proven that women have different responses to situations, tend to be more caring . You can’t have it all! Focus on what’s important , your kids.

      Why can't the man and women both work part time and share childcare roles. Anyone who thinks only women can care for children hasn't been a parent. This would mean both parties are happier, more independent financially.

      Women used to exercise wearing a corset, so putting on stockings and shoes, never mind getting dressed was no problem at all. Very few women, if any, tight laced, so going about your day, especially female servants, who did work HARD, would have no trouble at all.

      Most would agree though, stockings and shoes before corset. Why unnecessarily strain yourself or your corset during your 20 years of reenacting and Renaissance Fairs? This fae says nay!
