@@sacrore9 Ikr? It's like the fashion industry makes money keeping women at greater risk of robbery. This is why I accept any men's jeans that fit me as closely as possible.
In 3000s "In 21st century Women pulled up blue or black 'jeans' up their leg, secured with a metallic zip, and further secured with a button." "Oh! They also faked pockets for no reason!"
For everyone questioning how long it takes to get everything off: As someone who has to dress this way every day for work at a museum, let me tell you that after wearing this stuff for 8+ hours rain or shine, it is very easy to get everything off if you're desperate enough (only a couple minutes max). It's like watching the wicked witch melt
@Honeymoon. It only takes a few minutes to get everything on once you get used to it, and it's actually pretty comfortable so long as you're wearing everything properly. If you're wearing historically accurate fabric (nothing synthetic) it breathes really well, so you won't feel any more hot than you would in shorts and a T-shirt. Plus, it protects your skin from the sun which keeps some of the heat off too
Can you share where you get your clothing, or is it supplied to you? Do you have any suggestions on where to get accurately historical layers like this? Thanks!
I wish people wouldn't think that this fashion looked odd, if not then I would definitely be strutting down every single road in a full ball gown with a corset, petticoat and all.
You should do it if it makes you happy. It's a more common thing it's called History bounding and there are various groups on social media that are all about it.
I wish all the people in all the UA-cam comment sections who want to dress like this too would just all band together and host a ball or something-I'd totally go.
For everyone saying 'so many layers', keep in mind the 1700s were still in the Little Ice Age. The world was colder, and there was no such thing as central heating. All those layers would have been necessary.

Agree to disagree. Weight was often seen as a good thing in the past as it indicated status. I was also asking the poster with their more specific knowledge- not you :/
Well, this is specifically about working class women, they didn't have plenty of food, they usually weren't fat I think, I'm not an expert. Differences between classes were big however, and those that did have plenty of food had to do less walking so were less bothered by uncomfortableness when walking
@@FabulousCthulhu yeah, wool and pure cotton actually breath REALLY well, it's synthetic fibers that trap in moisture and make you feel sticky and hot. their cotton would have been extra breathable since it was a looser knit and was natural rather than treated and close weaved like ours. This is especially true with fabrics like wool (which is warm even when its wet) and silk (which sheds moisture when its too hot). After wearing some clothes similar to this outside in layers you'll realise how limiting our clothes are, since they're really only comfortable in a narrow range on temperatures, which is why so many people complain about being hot when alot of others are too cold.
In Germany the placement apron bow was like tinder... Tied in the back meant widowed or not looking for a man, a bow in the center meant child or virgin, a bow to the (onlookers) left meant that the woman in question was already married or had a significant other of sorts and a bow on the right meant single ready tho mingle

@Mary Cathrine bruh chill. women's clothing was exaggerated to be unwearable and uncomfortable by a patriarchal society. people back then weren't dumb y'know. sure, some of the clothing was uncomfortable but even in the 21st century we also have that are uncomfortable but we still wear them because they look nice. if you look it up and do research you'll realise that. google is free.
FlyingMonkies325 That's because the clothes we wear today are mostly made of synthetic materials that don't breathe and hold in heat. The natural materials they used (wool and linen mostly) were very breathe-able. The white under gown was the piece that was changed daily; our version of underwear. In summer time, the more skin you cover, the cooler you will be (if you use natural materials) because the blood under the exposed skin gets heated and when it returns to the core, it makes you hotter. There's a reason desert tribes cover up. :-D
Idk you’d be surprised. I used to go to this living museum called Sturbridge Village where it is the 1800s and the bed is in similar fashion. In one of the farmhouses where you can touch things and such, I laid on the bed for 5 minutes and thought it was okay. If left alone I could take a nap there fine.
@@Vexarax these pockets are easy to make. I did some 18th century re-enacting and they were a delight. didn't have to worry about where I would carry stuff.
And the reason for all that is religion. A woman who publically showed her neck - or more skin than you can see in the final dress - would have been called names and would have brought shame to her family or employers ... And now people are arrogantly talking patronizingly about hijabs or headscarfs.... Women of all countries always had to cover themselves and their hair especially. Only in the last decades the western society changed that along with women rights that still need to be worked on - in your country and in mine. So remind our past next time people talk about muslima rights. It's their business. (I am not a muslima, and I am European)
Kathryn thank you for speaking up the truth, and the noble decent clothing of women make them more attractive and respectable and i believe it as a natural perspective unadultrated from the conditioning of society and even religion.
if it was natural then people would just walk around naked haha your presumed attractiveness level of women and what clothes you think she should wear is completely dictated by the society you live in
Kathryn you are stupid, relgion is stupid, the world is stupid, and you are missing the point, all of the clothing items are there for *practical* purposes not religious purposes! Is she wearing a wooden cross (denoting the Christian faith) ? No she isn't!
something i learned from bernadette banner (shoutout) is that because only the layer worn closest to the skin was washed regularly, outer clothes actually lasted much longer! also this makes me want to wear big skirts so i can fit GIANT pockets under them! modern fashion silhouettes just don't accommodate space for books/food/secret items storage
How so? Every piece of clothing has a practical purpose. What we percieve as impractical is largely due to the work women would usually do back then, as well as the technical limitations of those days.
Happle Jr well actually Shift: protects you from the stays pinching your skin and wicks away sweat. Linen is very breathable Stays: provide support for breasts and back, and aren’t restricting at all, making sure they fit will. Petticoats: provide warmth and keeps bugs and scratchy plants away from the legs, and aren’t heavy st all. They have loooots of room for movement, and are usually at about the ankle or a bit above so walking and working is easy. Jacket: modesty, keeps sun and bugs away from arms, just like a jacket or shirt today. Kerchief: keeps sun off chest. Hat: keeps sun off face and eyes Apron: I think this is obvious.
Capitalism: you need to buy more/bigger outside but smaller inside. Police-ing: limiting the amount of space that you can actually store anything so you can't smuggle stuff/ weather be food into the movie theaters or contraband past the guards.
All these people in the comments acting lile this is some wild way of dressing, meanwhile here in Austria this (more fancy and not for every day wear, but still) is traditional clothing. Edit: by 'traditional clothing' I meant that you wear it for special occasions, not every day. I thought this was obvious, but apparently not..
@@shuhferr2782 A barbarian is someone who is seen as uncivilized. You not only insulted the op, but also insulted 'his people' and their culture simply for the way some of them dress. One might see this as an uncivilized act, therefore they might even see you as barbaric. I didn't think i'd have to explain it. Most people with half a brain would have gotten it. And yea, you can call me a barbarian too ;)
Contrary to many opinions found in the comments, eighteenth century attire is extremely comfortable and fairly cool. I worked as a historical interpreter for Colonial Williamsburg and expierenced hot summers. These outfits were designed pragmatically. The shift helps wick away sweat and reduces the need to wash garments. Thought stays can cause some heat retention, they are fairly flexible and help support posture and aid in lifting. In the summer, petticoats and other garments are made of linen which is breathable and cool. I often found my historical more comfortable then modern clothing. The apron makes a great pocket, and petticoats allow for a wide range of movement. Other than the stays, nothing is stiff, and as the video highlighted, your clothing could be adjusted easily on a day to day basis. Once you get used to it, it would take me ten to twelve minutes tops to get fully dressed. This outfit is much more comfortable than you would think! ☺
MyNameIsMaybe: It wouldn't be comfortable for sports or swimming, and maybe it wouldn't work in places where summer is 100 degrees for months at a time, but where I live summer is like 90 degrees for one week. I think we could stand it. People adapt to temperatures more than you'd guess, in a world without air conditioning. The natural fibers would wick sweat, and the skirts would swing in a breeze while providing shade for the legs. I'd have to try it before condemning it for sure.
Marissa Hettinger: Oh I disagree. I bet you've never worn anything like it, so you're just projecting how uncomfortable it would feel to wear several layers of the type of clothes you wear now. I have worn a well fitted corset before, and I guarantee you it is pretty comfortable. It provides good support, and feels like a snug hug, rather than feeling pinchy or restrictive. Helps you keep good posture and look your best too! And full skirts are really fun and give a very feminine feeling. I recommend you try it someday before you decide it can't be comfortable.
This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. I love seeing what everyday people wore, more than the extravagant lovely dresses of the upper classes (although, I do love those too!). There’s also something oddly comforting about this video, so I come back here when I need a little peace ☺️
@@kottonkandy0962 If it's got spandex in it, which most bras do, or any form of stretchy fabric, it's made from a plastic based, synthetic fabric and those are NOT breathable OR cool. The reason they could wear multiple layers back then is because ALL their garments were 100% made from natural fibers and those are both breathable and comfortable.
@@kottonkandy0962 most bras are made from polyester or nylon. Both of which are plastic based and neither of which are breathable or cool. I have eczema and polyester is one of the worst possible things for me to wear because it also (on top of all that) has tiny barbs in the fibers and can stimulate the itch. Wools are okay if they're worsted and very smooth.
The white baggy sleeves from her petticoat were stuffed in the sweater that was driving me nuts! I was waiting for her to pull the petticoat sleeves down.
Honestly really like most of the clothing in this video. Might try to make a modernized version of the wrapped petticoats so I can use those cool big pockets as well!
Tf....is this the 100 layer clothes challenge? Imagine wearing this and your outside walking to get a bucket of water and it is a hot day. I be melting.
I work with a reenactment troupe and even though we tend to do more medieval fashion, it's really no big deal. Fabrics were natural fibers, which made them much lighter and more breathable, and you get very good at it with some practice. The women in my troupe that have been there for just a few months can lace a full corset in about a minute, and the woman that plays the queen can be dressed head to toe in maybe twenty. Just practice, no secrets.
Her: *gets out of the room* Me: Oh okay, she's done now. Wew; that was ALOTTA layers! Imagine if she added mor-- The voice: *in tHE WINTER*-- Me: well shit.
As someone who used to work as a historical reenactor, I can confirm. Wearing stays + petticoats + no underwear and working in the fields/with livestock all day WHILE ON YOUR PERIOD was the actual worst. But the delicious hearth-cooked foods kinda made up for it.
People need to remember that this was around Europe. Most Europian countries (this includes the UK only because they were apart of Europe back then) are CHILLED they get pretty cold in sPRING, Fall and very cold in Winter! Summer would have the most temprature which would be around 70°F. It was needed. This practical sense of clothing wasnt practical in the sense of ease as people use that word for today, but practical inthe true definition: It could fit anyone It wasnt too difficult to put on despite the layers It kept you both cool and warm It was easy to carry things up and down stairs. It kept hair from your eyes You saved recourses and money when you gain weight or become pregnant. This brings me back to elementary school with this educational documentary. Goood on you guys!
Awesome, and I speak as an Irish woman, but I love the way you compare centuries' fashions from a similar place- ie England with eachother, rather than make stand- alone videos (but comparing different cultures in a fixed era seems awesome too!)
Tamika Jones Well lucky you, many women struggle to find any pieces of clothing with pockets. If there are pockets, they're usually horrendously small and you can't even fit your whole hand in them. I envy mens jeans, their pockets can practically go half way down their pants.
Fluffy Bunny well, that's just a stupid excuse. Look at the girl in this video. Doesn't she look lovely? She also puts effort in looking good. She has a figure beneath everything she's wearing. Saying that it is because women want to have a figure is just stupid. I'm sure you are a brilliant person, but I'm sure it has to do with the fact that women want to show their bodies more off to show they're sexy and beautiful. To me it seems that fasion has turned into a competition who looks better and who looks sexier instead of caring what is actually a ok to wear. I'm a woman, I know what I'm talking about.
I know this comment was a lil while ago but, make one! I dreamt of owning a cloak for 4 years and eventually just made one! Get a lot of weird stares since I wear it all the time but, totally worth it.
People still do wear cloaks even today. It's just that they've been modernized with pockets and buttons and usually worn for fashion like a poncho thing.

working women did not lace their stays tight, they were just used to hold the breasts in place while working to keep them out of the way since there were no bras
the number of layers is for several reasons. 1, it gives the silhouette that was fashionable for the time, 2, it provides the modesty they valued, 3, it protected their fair skin from the sun before the invention of sunblock, and 4, (in my opinion, most importantly), it provided layers to absorb sweat and dirt and what not so the outer clothes didn't smell, just like our underwear nowadays will stink much faster than a pair of jeans. same reason really. believe it or not, they did know that they smelled bad and really didn't like it, they tried to avoid it when possible, they did value cleanliness, filth was for the devil.
they did not get naked for sex, since there were no panties, the skirts were just lifted and that was it, so no it wouldn't take that long
getting dressed only took a few minutes, especially once you're used to the routine

stays are very comfortable to wear, and the clothing was made of breathable materials
@@FabulousCthulhu yeah, wool and pure cotton actually breath REALLY well, it's synthetic fibers that trap in moisture and make you feel sticky and hot. their cotton would have been extra breathable since it was a looser knit and was natural rather than treated and close weaved like ours. This is especially true with fabrics like wool (which is warm even when its wet) and silk (which sheds moisture when its too hot). After wearing some clothes similar to this outside in layers you'll realise how limiting our clothes are, since they're really only comfortable in a narrow range on temperatures, which is why so many people complain about being hot when alot of others are too cold.

dunno where you at, then, here we've had rain, rain and more rain ever since last spring
FlyingMonkies325 That's because the clothes we wear today are mostly made of synthetic materials that don't breathe and hold in heat. The natural materials they used (wool and linen mostly) were very breathe-able. The white under gown was the piece that was changed daily; our version of underwear. In summer time, the more skin you cover, the cooler you will be (if you use natural materials) because the blood under the exposed skin gets heated and when it returns to the core, it makes you hotter. There's a reason desert tribes cover up. :-D

@Brooke Nichole Oh beautiful such beauty in your poem
Very interesting and I didn't realize just how many practicalities were present in wardrobe during this time period.
And the reason for all that is religion. A woman who publically showed her neck - or more skin than you can see in the final dress - would have been called names and would have brought shame to her family or employers ... And now people are arrogantly talking patronizingly about hijabs or headscarfs....
Women of all countries always had to cover themselves and their hair especially.
Only in the last decades the western society changed that along with women rights that still need to be worked on - in your country and in mine. So remind our past next time people talk about muslima rights. It's their business. (I am not a muslima, and I am European)
Kathryn thank you for speaking up the truth, and the noble decent clothing of women make them more attractive and respectable and i believe it as a natural perspective unadultrated from the conditioning of society and even religion.
if it was natural then people would just walk around naked haha your presumed attractiveness level of women and what clothes you think she should wear is completely dictated by the society you live in
Kathryn you are stupid, relgion is stupid, the world is stupid, and you are missing the point, all of the clothing items are there for *practical* purposes not religious purposes! Is she wearing a wooden cross (denoting the Christian faith) ? No she isn't!

something i learned from bernadette banner (shoutout) is that because only the layer worn closest to the skin was washed regularly, outer clothes actually lasted much longer! also this makes me want to wear big skirts so i can fit GIANT pockets under them! modern fashion silhouettes just don't accommodate space for books/food/secret items storage
Yeah the outer clothes were made of wool, so they’d be uncomfortable next to the skin and would be more difficult to wash regularly

“Shoes were low, and practical.”
Unlike the entire rest of the outfit.
How so?
Every piece of clothing has a practical purpose.
What we percieve as impractical is largely due to the work women would usually do back then,
as well as the technical limitations of those days.
Happle Jr well actually
Shift: protects you from the stays pinching your skin and wicks away sweat. Linen is very breathable
Stays: provide support for breasts and back, and aren’t restricting at all, making sure they fit will.
Petticoats: provide warmth and keeps bugs and scratchy plants away from the legs, and aren’t heavy st all. They have loooots of room for movement, and are usually at about the ankle or a bit above so walking and working is easy.
Jacket: modesty, keeps sun and bugs away from arms, just like a jacket or shirt today.
Kerchief: keeps sun off chest.
Hat: keeps sun off face and eyes
Apron: I think this is obvious.
LMAO

Everything in this outfit is 100% practical and comfortable, or else they wouldn't be wearing it 24/7, much less WORK in it.

Thank you for this video that explains how a working woman would get dressed. I learned a lot about 18th century life style! ~Janet in Canada
Contrary to many opinions found in the comments, eighteenth century attire is extremely comfortable and fairly cool. I worked as a historical interpreter for Colonial Williamsburg and expierenced hot summers. These outfits were designed pragmatically. The shift helps wick away sweat and reduces the need to wash garments. Thought stays can cause some heat retention, they are fairly flexible and help support posture and aid in lifting. In the summer, petticoats and other garments are made of linen which is breathable and cool. I often found my historical more comfortable then modern clothing.
The apron makes a great pocket, and petticoats allow for a wide range of movement. Other than the stays, nothing is stiff, and as the video highlighted, your clothing could be adjusted easily on a day to day basis. Once you get used to it, it would take me ten to twelve minutes tops to get fully dressed. This outfit is much more comfortable than you would think! ☺
Yes!!!
S Moon you worked for cw? that sounds so cool, I'd love to visit one day
What a practical, beautiful, and comfortable looking outfit! Excellent details. I can see why the style lasted so long.
Marialla In the summer I don't think it will be comfortable
MyNameIsMaybe: It wouldn't be comfortable for sports or swimming, and maybe it wouldn't work in places where summer is 100 degrees for months at a time, but where I live summer is like 90 degrees for one week. I think we could stand it. People adapt to temperatures more than you'd guess, in a world without air conditioning. The natural fibers would wick sweat, and the skirts would swing in a breeze while providing shade for the legs. I'd have to try it before condemning it for sure.
Nothing about that looks comfortable
Marissa Hettinger: Oh I disagree. I bet you've never worn anything like it, so you're just projecting how uncomfortable it would feel to wear several layers of the type of clothes you wear now. I have worn a well fitted corset before, and I guarantee you it is pretty comfortable. It provides good support, and feels like a snug hug, rather than feeling pinchy or restrictive. Helps you keep good posture and look your best too! And full skirts are really fun and give a very feminine feeling. I recommend you try it someday before you decide it can't be comfortable.
I hope that's sarcasm

Miss H - honey, what do you think a bra is made out of? Because it’s definitely not plastic lmao
@@kottonkandy0962 If it's got spandex in it, which most bras do, or any form of stretchy fabric, it's made from a plastic based, synthetic fabric and those are NOT breathable OR cool. The reason they could wear multiple layers back then is because ALL their garments were 100% made from natural fibers and those are both breathable and comfortable.
@@kottonkandy0962 most bras are made from polyester or nylon. Both of which are plastic based and neither of which are breathable or cool.
I have eczema and polyester is one of the worst possible things for me to wear because it also (on top of all that) has tiny barbs in the fibers and can stimulate the itch. Wools are okay if they're worsted and very smooth.

I work with a reenactment troupe and even though we tend to do more medieval fashion, it's really no big deal. Fabrics were natural fibers, which made them much lighter and more breathable, and you get very good at it with some practice. The women in my troupe that have been there for just a few months can lace a full corset in about a minute, and the woman that plays the queen can be dressed head to toe in maybe twenty. Just practice, no secrets.

Summer would have the most temprature which would be around 70°F. It was needed. This practical sense of clothing wasnt practical in the sense of ease as people use that word for today, but practical inthe true definition:
It could fit anyone
It wasnt too difficult to put on despite the layers
It kept you both cool and warm
It was easy to carry things up and down stairs.
It kept hair from your eyes

why is it that in the 18th century, there was pockets in the dresses. But now there is none in sight in a simple pair of jeans
because women want a nice figure not practicallity but if u want jeans with pockets look for them
Tamika Jones Well lucky you, many women struggle to find any pieces of clothing with pockets. If there are pockets, they're usually horrendously small and you can't even fit your whole hand in them. I envy mens jeans, their pockets can practically go half way down their pants.

I've read that you can just buy men's pants and they'll look fine AND will have functional pockets
Fluffy Bunny well, that's just a stupid excuse. Look at the girl in this video. Doesn't she look lovely? She also puts effort in looking good. She has a figure beneath everything she's wearing. Saying that it is because women want to have a figure is just stupid. I'm sure you are a brilliant person, but I'm sure it has to do with the fact that women want to show their bodies more off to show they're sexy and beautiful. To me it seems that fasion has turned into a competition who looks better and who looks sexier instead of caring what is actually a ok to wear. I'm a woman, I know what I'm talking about.
