Bernadette reminds me of a young Minerva McGonagall. She is talks and is dressed so eloquently yet the actual words she speaks are somewhat sassy. When she criticizes these costumes a feel as if I am The Trio being scolded but not caring because they know that they are Professor McGonagall’s favorite students.

I feel like she should go to a renaissance fair and set up a booth called “let an actual historian make you critique your costume for 10$ she would make a killing”
Okay. So, I worked the Northern California Ren Faire for over a decade and I can tell you that the people working there went to huge lengths to make their costumes as accurate as possible within their budgets. There were very strict rules, much research, and much agonizing about the width of striping on corduroy. LOL We even dyed fabric with period techniques (yellow onion skins make a great dye) and were careful about accessories (my glasses weren't period, so I switched to contacts at that time.) That said.The guests visiting the Faire were often wearing things that wouldn't have been found in ANY period of history EVER. Nor did we ever mock them for it. They tried. They took the time to buy or make a costume, so that they could have a good time at the Faire. They were there to have fun, while we were there to entertain and educate. If they enjoyed their day and learned something, we were happy. :)

@@georgeofhamilton You say "give" as if a student isn't supposed to earn a grade for themselves, and the teacher is just biasedly handing out which ever grade they are on the mood to give that day.
@@mlcmercurialluxecat3018 You’re assuming the ideal. Oftentimes, teachers don’t have that much integrity when handing out grades. Besides, what I said is true either way; it is the teacher who ultimately gives grades, not the student who receives them, and students might disagree with the grading.
She is really the younger version of Professor and/or Headmistress Minerva McGonogall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, thank you very much.
When you talked about the Southern Belle costume and the differences between day wear and evening wear, I got flashbacks of 'Gone with the Wind' when Mammy berates Scarlett for wanting to wear a low-cut dress to the barbecue - "You can't show your bosom before 3 o'clock!"
I thought the same thing! I just LIVE for the many sections of the book where clothing is discussed! Some of it is just fun to imagine, like the trendy new outfit that the formerly-trashy Emmie Slattery wears, when she and her overseer baby-daddy visit and threaten to buy Tara. Yet many other parts describing clothing are very important in the story and show just how stifling and awful some of the norms and values were back then! Married women could only wear subdued colors like "tacky greys, tans, doves and lilacs" (as Scarlett refers to them, LOL), and widows like Scarlett were expected to remain in hot, head to toe black for life - and your black veil had to be ankle length for the first three years you were a widow! Jewelry was also forbidden, unless it was "made from the hair of the deceased", along with ever displaying overt happiness in public! Really makes me appreciate Rhett Butler more, as he purposely helped Scarlett shake off the confines of her widowhood, by bidding to dance with her at the auction, and by tempting her with that beautiful, green hat from Paris. Great. Now I want to re-read it again, for the twentieth time!
@@rachelectroDC-84 plenty of married women wore other colors than those listed, though they did usually opt for less attention grabbing ones. And mourning didn't have to last a woman's whole life after her husband died. Two to three years was a socially acceptable period and there were several stages of it to go through, from the initial phase where a woman had to wear the ankle length veil and no jewelry, matte fabrics in all black, to the second stage of all black (some gray acceptable), a shorter veil (hip length was common), fabrics that had some shine, to the end stage where it was a very short veil, and fabrics in colors such as mauve, grays, and deep purples were acceptable. Some women stayed in mourning their whole lives for a lost husband or child, but plenty of them moved on as well, especially if she remarried or had other children to care for.

If cocovid taught me anything it's that the youtube algorithm is no where near as good at showing you things that you want to watch as people think it is.

Bernadette: speaks Old English Me, a non-native Linguistics major: squeals in delight ... Also, if not for the plague that will not be named, I would have learned how to speak Old English semi-fluently by now...
Middle English is fairly easy to read and understand because it's primarily a series of standardized spelling and grammar changes that occurred during the transition to Modern English. For example, using the letter y where we now use i or having an extra -e on the ends of words. Once you begin to recognize the patterns, it's not difficult and you can fly through Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in an afternoon. Old English, however, is practically an entirely different language. It looks and sounds a lot more Germanic than the English we speak now. I actually thought Bernadette was speaking German for a quick second until I realized what she was doing, that clever minx 😂
@@d.lan3y how are they more practical? The only words any of you ever bring to the not very round table is vibe, aesthetic, and the over-usage of saying literally as though it's some destined form of exaggeration. You think the cliches people make you into aren't so, but then everything matches up immediately.
Corsetry came up in a random discord server and I outed myself very hard on being quote unquote knowledgable about it, a little, enough for them to sort of listen to me when I say no corsets doesn't have to be sexy garments, and yes people can work in them, and eeeeveryone wore them after a period of time and people asked why I knew this and I had to out myself on how much youtube I watch in a day ._________.
Sounded very Dutch to me. And I’m German. So actually easier to understand than the very intricate lyrical English that she usually speaks. Have to be fully focused for that. Went to a Shakespeare play in the Globe on a class trip once and all I understood from that was 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋 (in German when we understand nothing we say we “understand only train station” 😂 language is odd. Wonder where that originates from)
@@younazilberberg1650 I caught "In the" and "English spoken" my brain was happy enough with that. I took Spanish and French in school and German on an app. My brain followed it. Perhaps i should reword...
Maybe with Bernadette around men would endeavor to be gentlemen. Considering that one of our esteemed representatives called a female colleague an F-ing B on the steps of our capitol building. Then there was the whole insurrection thing.
Me, a non-native English speaker: another historical video from that eloquent charming lady, what a delight! Bernadette: 1:58 Well... that escalated quickly.
Native English speaker. Yea, the average native English speaking person cannot understand a word of old English. In fact there is a misconception (edit: among native English speakers) that the language Shakespeare wrote with was old English, when in reality it is Early Modern English. The old English here kind of sounded Germanic to me, but that might be just me.
Native English speaker here: I had a professor once start speaking old English as if it was normal and honestly thought I was having a stroke because everyone was just nodding along 😂😂 turned out none of us knew what was happening but no one wanted to be the first to say anything. And that's how I learned what old English sounded like!
The more I watch her videos, the more I'm ashamed of my English. Tbh, even if it's not English, I cannot even be that intellectual in my own mother tongue 😂😅
@@DerMacko Stan comes from the Eminem song Stan, in which a fan (Stan) obsesses over Em to a rather terrifying degree. It ends with Stan killing himself and his pregnant girlfriend because he didn't get a personal response from Eminem. Thus, to "Stan" someone is to obsess over them to a potentially dangerous degree.
Not to be THAT person, but she definitely does not use old English, but rather old modern english... see old English is a nearly unrecognizable, and she only spoke a line in 'old English', though that is uncommon for her videos.....

I've seen even 90s fashion misinterpreted and done all wrong in those fashion thru history videos. Apparently it only takes a few decades to mess up fashion history.
What I love about these videos is that she also mentions the fabrics people would be using in this or that dress and at which layer, which is something that can often get me confused cuz most articles about period clothes I manage to find either aren't 100% trustful or, when they are, rarely pay any mind to mentioning the fabric itself. Mad respect, seriously!
Imagine her history grades. Everyone talks about her grammar but lets stop and think of how high her history grades were. I know its probably common sense considering the theme/aesthetic of her channel but can we still acknowledge that?
Maybe not as high as you think. History in school force you to learn mostly about wars. I love when history is spoken by clothes or people lives insted of day-month-year system. I love history, but I haven't got the highest grades in my group (good, but not the best), because I don't really paid attention to where, when and who was the leader in the battle. I almost always know everything else like society, poetry, literature, mode, architekture, art and music. Battles and wars? Not really. Maybe she had the same. Maybe not. I'm just saying that not everything is what it seems.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 correct, and typically they are as well wrong on the blatant modern knowledge of past efforts that were forgotten by a certain rebellious modern generation there'after. Such as Historically accurate, if you have never been from the time, you don't even have an understanding on what color carriages we're, or standards of architecture. While someone who is brought from the time can answer that typically in seconds.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Agree. I think it's kinda sad that we learn about the past this way... Even If we're almost for sure from different countries. I will be glad if system could give us (I'm at university and have my own interests in this topic, so not my problem anymore, but still...) more about past cultures instead of only loosing, winning and changing the map.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 such as the 1930s and 1940s. What do we learn about them beside war horrors and a stock shortage. Suddenly most kids think we went straight from model t to Chevrolet Bel air.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 Very true. Despite my beloved high school history teacher's best attempts, I was hopeless at remembering the dates of the countless treaties, political decisions, territory acquisitions and losses, and coronations and elections of political leaders that composed the bulk of what we were expected to memorize. I was fortunate enough to later take a class in community college taught by an instructor who delved into the details of what life was like for the average people living in the periods we studied (as well as debunking numerous claims that our "published-in-Texas" high school textbooks had made regarding the ethics of several events), and it awoke my love of history that had long laid dormant. Additionally, tabletop roleplaying games set in historical settings (mostly the GURPS line of gamebooks) significantly fueled my interest and gave me inspiration to dig deeper. I personally feel the trick to getting people interested in history is to show them a window through which they can better imagine themselves in a place in the past, allowing them to make it more personal and thus "real". Focusing on wars, political treaties, and endless dates to memorize only serve to build barriers to the imagination, I daresay, since these are largely the decisions of a handful of powerful, usually privileged people, far removed from the everyday concerns of average folks (except for the part where they have to live and die under these decisions, of course).

I love historical accuracy when it comes to clothes! My mum has been sewing since she was a kid so I’ve grown up with sewing amongst my childhood and trips to fabric/tailor shops. Good times.
Bernadette: Speaks extremely properly for eighteen minutes straight, and casually throws shade in Arthurian English. Also Bernadette: "...and pinned securely to the cap-thing..."
She forgot about the huge boobs popping out on every costume! LOL I mean wow! The makers of the costumes were men! Or lesbians! Who wanted to look at a lot of legs and boobs! I mean wow! Why are we showing these kinds of lame costumes. It's just pathetic. I once bought one in a store and while it was not accurate it did have a pretty dress. I never paid for another again. One Halloween I was working at Verizon and I was stuck on what to do for a costume. I was thinking about wearing a nice black and red dress I had purchased a while back. But then I was my friend's Kim Possible Rufus doll toy thing. I was like. Kakye pants (Check) Black turtle Neck Check, black shoes check. So I bought some black gloves. I flipped my hair like hers, I Have brown hair and I even did my make up like the show. Without my lower lip colored! There were so many happy kids that day! LOL! They knew who I was and were happy to pose with me. It was kind of funny like a little view into a theme park. LOL Anyways it was a fun costume. Unlike Kim though I did not wear my belly exposed LOL! I am not a size 2! Apparently one of my dumb coworkers got sent home after showing up in basically nothing! Lol my boss was like I am so relieved that you didnt' do that! LOL! Who shows up in work with almost no clothing? Right? I mean wow! It wasn't a strip club. LOL What a weird idea on her part. Anyways it's always gonna be a nice memory for me. Dressing up doesn't have to be tacky or sexual or innacurate. :D
My family has been going to the Arizona Renaissance Festival every year since the mid 90s. My mother always creates dresses and outfits for our family that are 99% accurate to the time period. Because I've been wearing these excellently crafted dresses since I was 3, I have to say I do appreciate it when others share their grievances about medieval party city costumes.
I have no idea why you would entertain the notion that I have stolen your 75” television! This is only my skirt! I don’t feel well is all. I’m just going to go home.
I hand sewed a dress from the 1620s that was supposed to be accurate but was mashed together with anything I could find lol so my costume only looked accurate
Bernadette : I talk about historical costumes and accurate historical représentations, I love long constructed phrases and I have an extended and extremely detailed vocabulary of the stuff I know and talk about. also Bernadette : 14:01 "maximum floofage"
I can't tell you how much my academic heart sings at the prospect of numbered footnotes and actual references in an otherwise highly entertaining youtube video.
What I find funny is when you see these “sexy” Victorian costumes and I’m just over here like You could just show your ankle in a “sexy” Victorian costume because they were sexualised body parts
As a young man loving classical, historical and vintage fashion.. I’m in love with her. As a lover of linguistics and languages, when Bernadette started to speak in historical English, I love her even more...if it’s possible :-D.
We don't celebrate Halloween so I'm not religious about the dressing up part, I honestly clicked on the video because of the cardigan she was wearing and she looks like a decent human being (look mom, I found one!).
I have watched 5 of your videos and have learned from each one. Love historical clothing. I have scoliosis as well so I feel your pain. I am a quilter and have a firm understanding on cost and time it takes to make a project. I love your antique sewing machine. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
I think that weird circle in the “pilgrim” outfit is intended to imitate the modern Amish and Mennonite dresses, which do have a wide, round collar. Most depictions of pilgrims in children’s media depict them looking a lot like modern Amish and old-order Mennonites.
Which Amish have those collars? I grew up with Amish as neighbors and they don't have any of those. Maybe a different sect does but I don't think all Amish have them.
Pneumarian I don’t think I’ve seen such collars on the Amish either. A round collar would waste fabric. Maybe on Mennonites or Friends (Quakers)? I haven’t seen a Friends meeting up close since the late 80s early 90s so I don’t know if the big collars were a feature of dress or just fashionable at the time.
Hello. Ex amish mennonite here. While the pilgrim costume has similar features to the clothing of amish/mennonites there are more differences than similarities. Our clothing is outlined in the churches version of the bible doctrine and practices book. The lack of a double front (cape), contrasting fabrics, presence of collars which is traditionally more of a "liberal" church thing and the absence of an outer bonnet are the first signs that they are nothing alike for the two group mentioned. For the more modern amish that wouldn't require a cape they will mot require an apron. The German Baptist ladies do wear a type if cape that does look like a very large collar since it is not attached at the waist band. Its not uncommon for German Baptist to be confused with Old Order Mennonite or Amish.
Came across this video about 20 minutes ago and now I'm diving into all of her videos with an almost obsessive childlike excitement. I don't even care if I'm up til 5am, I'm ready to watch her whole channel.
Here is my list of amazing things about this insane human being: LOOK AT THAT ART. LOOK AT IT!!! SEE HOW GOOD IT IS?! IT'S AMAZING!!! How the frig does she know all this stuff? I can't even remember more than like 10 things at a time! These videos are so amazing!
I'm so jealous of your ability to create a stunning watercolor so quickly and casually! It takes me more time to draw a crooked stick figure. Please consider doing a video in the historical costumes in the Hulu show "Harlots". I adored the show and the fashion and would love to know how accurately the clothing was portrayed. 😘
"OG Elizabetheans required ultimate puff." A marvellous phrase.
That and "...with more bows for maximum floofage."

A robe a la fraincaise..
From the 1700's..
In the roccoco period..
Why??
It hurts
Thanks. I just gagged reading that.
Is it medieval?! Is it renaissance?! Is it Victorian?! They need to make up their mind!

It might get a little obnoxious if she gave you suboptimal grades.
@@georgeofhamilton You say "give" as if a student isn't supposed to earn a grade for themselves, and the teacher is just biasedly handing out which ever grade they are on the mood to give that day.
@@mlcmercurialluxecat3018 You’re assuming the ideal. Oftentimes, teachers don’t have that much integrity when handing out grades. Besides, what I said is true either way; it is the teacher who ultimately gives grades, not the student who receives them, and students might disagree with the grading.

When you talked about the Southern Belle costume and the differences between day wear and evening wear, I got flashbacks of 'Gone with the Wind' when Mammy berates Scarlett for wanting to wear a low-cut dress to the barbecue - "You can't show your bosom before 3 o'clock!"
I thought it was supposed to be some kind of sexy bo beep dress 🤣 i did not see a southern belle at all
Literally the first thing I thought of also
Me three!
I thought the same thing! I just LIVE for the many sections of the book where clothing is discussed! Some of it is just fun to imagine, like the trendy new outfit that the formerly-trashy Emmie Slattery wears, when she and her overseer baby-daddy visit and threaten to buy Tara. Yet many other parts describing clothing are very important in the story and show just how stifling and awful some of the norms and values were back then!
Married women could only wear subdued colors like "tacky greys, tans, doves and lilacs" (as Scarlett refers to them, LOL), and widows like Scarlett were expected to remain in hot, head to toe black for life - and your black veil had to be ankle length for the first three years you were a widow! Jewelry was also forbidden, unless it was "made from the hair of the deceased", along with ever displaying overt happiness in public! Really makes me appreciate Rhett Butler more, as he purposely helped Scarlett shake off the confines of her widowhood, by bidding to dance with her at the auction, and by tempting her with that beautiful, green hat from Paris. Great. Now I want to re-read it again, for the twentieth time!
@@rachelectroDC-84 plenty of married women wore other colors than those listed, though they did usually opt for less attention grabbing ones. And mourning didn't have to last a woman's whole life after her husband died. Two to three years was a socially acceptable period and there were several stages of it to go through, from the initial phase where a woman had to wear the ankle length veil and no jewelry, matte fabrics in all black, to the second stage of all black (some gray acceptable), a shorter veil (hip length was common), fabrics that had some shine, to the end stage where it was a very short veil, and fabrics in colors such as mauve, grays, and deep purples were acceptable. Some women stayed in mourning their whole lives for a lost husband or child, but plenty of them moved on as well, especially if she remarried or had other children to care for.
Is anyone else kinda happy she used Morgan Donner's Italian laurel gown as an example of ladder lacing?
Yes, I love that gown, and Morgan Donner!

@Ishani Kumar 1# astethic lol
I need to learn old english
Middle English is fairly easy to read and understand because it's primarily a series of standardized spelling and grammar changes that occurred during the transition to Modern English. For example, using the letter y where we now use i or having an extra -e on the ends of words. Once you begin to recognize the patterns, it's not difficult and you can fly through Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in an afternoon.
Old English, however, is practically an entirely different language. It looks and sounds a lot more Germanic than the English we speak now. I actually thought Bernadette was speaking German for a quick second until I realized what she was doing, that clever minx 😂
@@d.lan3y how are they more practical? The only words any of you ever bring to the not very round table is vibe, aesthetic, and the over-usage of saying literally as though it's some destined form of exaggeration.

It makes you wonder how today's fashions will be interpreted 500 years in the future.
I find it strange how 1980's fashion is sometimes misinterpreted in revival. There are photographs.

Sadly not everything was Holographic..
I've seen even 90s fashion misinterpreted and done all wrong in those fashion thru history videos. Apparently it only takes a few decades to mess up fashion history.
Imagine costume makers (like party city or spirit Halloween) in the future making a Halloween costume meant of the 1900s
What I love about these videos is that she also mentions the fabrics people would be using in this or that dress and at which layer, which is something that can often get me confused cuz most articles about period clothes I manage to find either aren't 100% trustful or, when they are, rarely pay any mind to mentioning the fabric itself. Mad respect, seriously!
Imagine her history grades. Everyone talks about her grammar but lets stop and think of how high her history grades were. I know its probably common sense considering the theme/aesthetic of her channel but can we still acknowledge that?
Maybe not as high as you think. History in school force you to learn mostly about wars. I love when history is spoken by clothes or people lives insted of day-month-year system. I love history, but I haven't got the highest grades in my group (good, but not the best), because I don't really paid attention to where, when and who was the leader in the battle. I almost always know everything else like society, poetry, literature, mode, architekture, art and music. Battles and wars? Not really. Maybe she had the same. Maybe not. I'm just saying that not everything is what it seems.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 correct, and typically they are as well wrong on the blatant modern knowledge of past efforts that were forgotten by a certain rebellious modern generation there'after. Such as Historically accurate, if you have never been from the time, you don't even have an understanding on what color carriages we're, or standards of architecture. While someone who is brought from the time can answer that typically in seconds.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Agree. I think it's kinda sad that we learn about the past this way... Even If we're almost for sure from different countries. I will be glad if system could give us (I'm at university and have my own interests in this topic, so not my problem anymore, but still...) more about past cultures instead of only loosing, winning and changing the map.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 such as the 1930s and 1940s. What do we learn about them beside war horrors and a stock shortage. Suddenly most kids think we went straight from model t to Chevrolet Bel air.
@@luminakittycarolymonroeaqu4933 Very true. Despite my beloved high school history teacher's best attempts, I was hopeless at remembering the dates of the countless treaties, political decisions, territory acquisitions and losses, and coronations and elections of political leaders that composed the bulk of what we were expected to memorize. I was fortunate enough to later take a class in community college taught by an instructor who delved into the details of what life was like for the average people living in the periods we studied (as well as debunking numerous claims that our "published-in-Texas" high school textbooks had made regarding the ethics of several events), and it awoke my love of history that had long laid dormant.
Additionally, tabletop roleplaying games set in historical settings (mostly the GURPS line of gamebooks) significantly fueled my interest and gave me inspiration to dig deeper.
I personally feel the trick to getting people interested in history is to show them a window through which they can better imagine themselves in a place in the past, allowing them to make it more personal and thus "real". Focusing on wars, political treaties, and endless dates to memorize only serve to build barriers to the imagination, I daresay, since these are largely the decisions of a handful of powerful, usually privileged people, far removed from the everyday concerns of average folks (except for the part where they have to live and die under these decisions, of course).

I think that weird circle in the “pilgrim” outfit is intended to imitate the modern Amish and Mennonite dresses, which do have a wide, round collar. Most depictions of pilgrims in children’s media depict them looking a lot like modern Amish and old-order Mennonites.
Which Amish have those collars? I grew up with Amish as neighbors and they don't have any of those. Maybe a different sect does but I don't think all Amish have them.
@@Zalerinae0491 yeah, none of my Amish neighbors have collars like that. Most certainly NOT in contrasting colors. (Kansas)
Pneumarian I don’t think I’ve seen such collars on the Amish either. A round collar would waste fabric. Maybe on Mennonites or Friends (Quakers)? I haven’t seen a Friends meeting up close since the late 80s early 90s so I don’t know if the big collars were a feature of dress or just fashionable at the time.
Hello.
Ex amish mennonite here. While the pilgrim costume has similar features to the clothing of amish/mennonites there are more differences than similarities. Our clothing is outlined in the churches version of the bible doctrine and practices book. The lack of a double front (cape), contrasting fabrics, presence of collars which is traditionally more of a "liberal" church thing and the absence of an outer bonnet are the first signs that they are nothing alike for the two group mentioned. For the more modern amish that wouldn't require a cape they will mot require an apron. The German Baptist ladies do wear a type if cape that does look like a very large collar since it is not attached at the waist band. Its not uncommon for German Baptist to be confused with Old Order Mennonite or Amish.
Many Pilgrims had been living in Leiden (Holland) before arriving at Plymouth Colony. I wonder if there was a Dutch influence in their clothing?

It's rare to see guys who like these types of videos, so hats off to you for liking it 😁
Yo, a fellow 17-year-old guy! Neat.
I'm a 19 year old guy watching! So you're not alone lol
