I didn't realize Worth did Sissi, of Hapsburgs gowns. He did The Romanov Empress, Queens of England and Jennie Churchills gowns. Thanks for sharing.
He did indeed; the dress worn by empress Elisabeth during her coronation in Hungary is a Worth dress. The Maison did also the famous "Peacock Dress" for the Vice Queen of India, Lady Courzon.
Some additional Facts: Before Worth stared presenting his dresses, it was usual to have a dress made by an independent seamstress and every dress would be individually fashioned up with laces, ribbons and so on. Worth was the first who presented complete outfits; he was also the one who presented a new silhouette after the French-German war in 1870/71: it was the Cul de Paris. It is said that his dresses were so expensive that even very wealthy clients asked to actualize a dress from a previous season, so that the luxurious material would not be wasted. Worth also helped the French silk production by ordering individually woven fabrics fior his most exclusive dresses. There is one coat still existing: the fabric is exclusevely woven for Worth to be out on display for an exhibition; it had won a first price.
Thank you for the extra information.
you're welcome. The facts in this film are true and no legends which is quite distinctive. Very many Bloggers are working with schemes which do not fit. This is one of the better ones.
Thank you!! I so enjoyed reading all the additional facts you provided!!
@@CulturedElegance Please, stay close to facts and do not listen to legends. I have collected thousands of images to learn; now, I'm able to explain, what Haute Couture means and how certain trends changed - and it is very much complicated as it seems. Please, try always to cling at what is explainable. I am far from perfect, but perhaps you might ask me for there are quite complicated developments in history, but these developments influenced fashion. I am German, so I know our part as well as you as American know your part. Please understand this as an act of international friendship.
When I was about 12, I discovered the book "Banners of Silk" by Rosalind Laker. It is a romantic novel following the life of a Parisian seamstress who works in Charles Worth's workshop. Alongside her adventures, it depicts a fictionalised account of Worth's life, with rich detail about his innovations and inspirations. I was completely transfixed by the story, and the descriptions of his beautiful gowns! It left me with a lifelong interest in Victorian-era couture and a love of historic novels. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in his life.
My favorite fact was examples of his meticulous ways. Not only in fashion, but in the upkeep of his animals. Also, loved the picture of inside his home. I love his style. Thank you for the documentary of Charles Frederick Worth, a gamechanger in fashionm and including his wife who was noted to be the live first fashion model.
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Several gowns pictured were made of fabrics too beautiful to be described. This is a gorgeous film full of incredible clothing, fabrics that look to have been made by wonderful artists, and paintings that I had to see three or more times each. I am keeping this one to see again, and have sent it to two dear friends who will love it. One gown looked as though it was made of liquid gold, but paler, and I realized that you could only call the colour champagne. If anyone can add to this description of that one, ( and it is properly in the centre of a triptych, please add your comments.

Incredible designs. Even looking from the very different epoche, where such dresses would not have a place, all Worth's dresses radiate taste and elegance😍
I lived in Bourne and the house where he was born is still there the rooms are still used for various reasons there is a blue plaque from the heritage foundation on it
wow how lovely!
That blue and green tea gown has consumed me! Stunning!
Appreciate the lovely pictures of the styles of that time. Continue to love the lines, detail of that era.
Wow! Thank you for such a fascinating & informational video! Seeing the photographs of these amazing gowns was such a treat! I can not imagine the sewing process & the time each gown/dress required! I only knew of Mr Worth, but I had no idea of his immense impact & importance to the Victorian era!! What a life he had! A true rags to riches story!!
His styles are stunning!
I thought 50 employees was a lot but 1200 is astounding 😮 what a Cash Cow❤❤❤
I like the flowered garland wallpaper look dress. His dresses are very nice looking.
Beauty is everywhere 0:38
So beautiful ❤️
Such a feast of high quality images that show the amazing work that went into each dress. Thank you! I loved it!
Really elegance❤
*!Verdaderas obras de arte!*
So talented, dresses so beautiful ❤️
Who knew this guy was first fashion 😊
It’s been said Worth’s wife was to naturally elegant in her form and manners she had but to model a new design in public and every woman would run screaming to copy it. Some of the designs were hideous in her eyes but hubby insisted it would work
I don't know why I clicked this video , I don't know this man, but I listened while I made some chicken 🐔 for dinner
😂🙏
Wow.
Harikulade zamanlar,
şahane tuvaletler, giysiler,
unutulmaz kadınlar ve o kadınlara hitap edebilen "centilmenler"..
Yeniden böyle bir dünya mümkün mü?
💐🩰💐
Dazzling gowns!!!! The current Met Galas are a clown show by comparison.
If only nowadays' designers had the taste of Mr.Worth!
Fascinating!
The first couture designer.
Well, he has a taste for fashion
So many of these beautiful gowns must have succumbed to moth, pests and vermin as it must have been incredibly difficult to store them for long periods safely. Also, there was the deleterious effect of oxygen and sunlight on the fabrics and colours. If only they could have been vacuum shrunk in plastic and stored in the dark, in metal trunks, their beauty would have been assured for centuries to come.
But no one would see them silly. I'm surprised at the number of extant garments these pictures lead us to believe there are. All incredibly scrumptious ❤
What happened to his design house after his passing?
So the English invented French couture 😊
Functionality definitely was not part of a ladies wardrobe in those days. I can’t imagine you can do much of anything but sit and pose when you are so poofed up and tied in. But kudos to the dressmakers!
Well anyone who could afford a Worth gown had maids, cooks, laundresses, footmen, nannies, gardeners, grooms as well as a butler and housekeeper to oversee everything. They didn't have to do anything but look pretty.
Why has it always been men that decides what women should wear or how they should look?
Another man-made invention for women to rely on
