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!
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'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.
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.

From the 1700's.. In the roccoco period.. Why??
@@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.....
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.
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: Speaks extremely properly for eighteen minutes straight, and casually throws shade in Arthurian English. Also Bernadette: "...and pinned securely to the cap-thing..."
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!).
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.
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.
English is my first language and I heard the dial up sound quite clearly while I tried to determine if she'd just slipped into like Flemish or Dutch hoping we wouldn't comment on it.
People do not realize that the time period with the "hottest" outfits was actually the Paleolithic. And hunter-gatherer societies in later periods. Lots and lots of bare skin if the climate was warm
I am 100% positive that you could find a (and I absolutely despise the fact that I'm going to type this out) "sexy cavewoman" costume somewhere in the hellish depths of Halloween costume markets.
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.
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
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.

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.
Lord, the amount of sass in this video soothed my soul. Came for the smack down of lame Halloween costumes, stayed for the wonderful watercolor paintings. Was not expecting that delight!
Bernadette: *expertly covers multiple historical periods of dress* Me: Yup, yup, that, yup. *while knitting a hoodie for my cat* I just need to buckle down a knit some historically accurate patterns one of these days. Even if a woman knitting is borderline heresy prior to the invention of the knitting machine (16th century?).
They were also just immensely practical! Whoever has time to do anything but tie their hair in a bun every morning whilst kids scream their heads off to be fed? I can't remember the last time I washed my hair, and I only have one child 😭
I really would love to see historically accurate fairy tale dresses, like Cinderella, beauty and the beast, that kind of stuff. With your drawings alongside as well!! They’re absolutely gorgeous and watching you paint them was so calming and relaxing!
Jordyn Marie just know something... the Disney Cinderella was based on Grimms’ Ashenputtel, which in turn was based on a Chinese tale from the 900s. OR, there’s an even older Greek version. So... be ready for slightly nightmarish things showing up
SonsOfLorgar only if you consider foot binding and willful mutilation of feet to be horrifying. But feet are rather unnerving to begin with. Who needs that many bones in one small appendage? Apparently... humans do
There’s a video on BuzzFeed about historically accurate Disney princesses, and it was directed by Eugene Lee Yang. It gives an accurate representation on what they should’ve worn, and it also gives background information on the people living during those times !!
I read that as “Politically triggered” instead of “politely triggered”. Which gave me two laughing fits instead of one and I appreciate your comment greatly
Kelleymarie Jones this was just for entertainment and it’s much easier that reading an entire book. What are you doing here if we are all ‘bloody UA-cam worshipers’ and you’re also on UA-cam
Yes she is. She is correcting the modern costume-wearer on the proper manner of dress, while at the same time telling them how ignorant and crass they are.
My budding artist 4yo daughter came into the room while I was watching this and was captivated: “Mom, she’s SO GOOD at drawing!” Thanks for giving her a little inspiration today :)
Ne man: Eall ne man: Bernadette: Slieht an Eald Englisc. (No-one: Absolutely no-one: Bernadette: Slays in Old English) (Look, I know it's wrong, I tried. But we cannot all have the historical game on lock.)
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).

Well... that escalated quickly.
Another non-native English speaker here and i still managed to understand Bernadette (could be because i understand old german but... yeah)
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.

And that's how I learned what old English sounded like!
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.

Nice profile picture.
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.

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?

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?

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.

Oh wow, I didn't even realize she said politely and not politically
Rachelle Scott this is the best thing I’ve read today
Kelleymarie Jones this was just for entertainment and it’s much easier that reading an entire book. What are you doing here if we are all ‘bloody UA-cam worshipers’ and you’re also on UA-cam
Bernadette casually being a complete savage for 18 minutes straight
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rebecca Rimon she’s not being a “savage”.
Ban*n*er? No, B A N T E R!
Yes she is. She is correcting the modern costume-wearer on the proper manner of dress, while at the same time telling them how ignorant and crass they are.
9:51 I love it when she use her other pencil's eraser because her mechanic pencil's eraser no longer exist. i totally understand :')

"Huh, this looks interesting"

best comment I've seen here so far lol
I feel this in my bones lol
Grade A comment, perfect
this comment is amazing already but reading the username makes it 10x better
My budding artist 4yo daughter came into the room while I was watching this and was captivated: “Mom, she’s SO GOOD at drawing!” Thanks for giving her a little inspiration today :)
Awww
Ross that’s a wonderful Christmas gift idea! Thank you!
*Friend walks into halloween party wearing vampire "eighteenth century" dress*
Me: WeLl AcTuAlLy-
You: *show her this video
Ok but Bernadette's mid-eighteen century vampire dress is beautiful, I'm totally tempted to make it for Halloween
Bernadette: "A literal armful of skirt"
Me: The picture is "The Marriage of Arnolfini", isn't it?
* looks at footnotes *
Me: yea
This is EXACTLY the picture I thought of. Didn't even need to look.
Do you know where I can get a “Slutty Plague Victim” costume?
Asking for a friend.
Would that be with or without buboes?
@@itz_ashane6886 loool
Lol
Slutty Plague DOCTOR is the new hotness
@@sblinder1978 You can do a lot with those long noses.
Bernadette: Perfectly Pontificates With Proper Pronunciation, Grammer, And Annunciation
Me: can spell words pretty good sumtimes
Grammar*
Enunciation*
That kinda made the joke funnier
Ironically enough, the grammar where you described yourself is more correct than how you described Bernadette’s lol
Florence Schad lol that’s the joke 😀 I don’t think the other bits are tho
Florence Schad yep, that’s the joke
And they could've gotten away with every single costume if they had just added the word "fantasy" 😆
or if it wasn't for those meddling kids!
Someone with a functioning brain would have realized that was implied.
@@ozegirl44 thank you for putting that! I thought of that, too!
"we are already banishing that hat to the deepest pits of hell." And I just had tea come out my nose. Thanks for that.

(Look, I know it's wrong, I tried. But we cannot all have the historical game on lock.)
Wow. Sounds almost like German..
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).
Like if you're an OG Elizabethan watching from the 1500s.
I'm a edwardian
Art Neauveau detective here, my time travel machine broke down in the 1500s and I identify as an “OG Elizabethan”
Nah, I'm an immortal but I'm a new immortal
I was a rich young lady, then i married a very smart man, who carried the philosophers stone, so I could stay alive.
We've been "Elizabethans" since 1953. I'm in authentic Elizabethan dress right now.
She's so passive aggressive through this whole thing and I love it
You fill a niche in my life where Raymond Holt is the only other occupant
