I love this! Lots of times I can only find upper class, high fashion depictions of the Victorian lady, so it's nice to see something more middle class. Do you think you could show us what a working class lady would've worn as well?
@Ziaberry maybe you would like to look at the channel _English Heritage_. There is something about a Mrs. Crocombe; an actual Victorian era cook in a manor house. They have a series on the real Mrs. Crocombe and her life- part four explains her clothing. "The real Mrs. Crocombe Part Four: A Victorian Cook's Outfit". Very interesting. ☺
"Because I am worth it" 😂💕Such a simple yet beautiful dress. Some think day dresses are boring but I think they are just as beautiful as the ballgowns! One day I will attempt to make a dress like this. Thanks for the video!
Interesting to think that though the subsequent crinoline cages made for a considerably wider silhouette they were, it seems, actually much easier to wear (and of much lighter weight!) than the multiple petticoats under the beautiful day dress in this video. Also, I must say that your husband truly embodies the debonair manner of a man of that era.
You two are truly a match!
You and your husband are delightfully adorable.
Agreed
i realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Kenneth Arthur Flixportal xD
@Harvey Douglas thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!
@Kenneth Arthur you are welcome xD
AHA! This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! I am putting together a presentation of what average women of the 1840-50s would have worn and this is exactly the thing! Thank you for your frankly astonishing talents and brilliant videos. Much love from western Canada!
Looks comfortable and attractive in a cosy domestic way. Nice work!
Would love to see you do something more with mourning attire, either mid-late victorian. It'd be interesting to see the differences between mourning in the US during the Civil War and in the UK.
films on demand start from 2k!
The Mini Ice Age was real! All of those petticoats were needed! Always appreciate your fine work and the history lesson on this channel.
Still, 4 pettis would make me melt! Hot flashes are still a real thing!
Houses were basically unheated and full of cold draughts so the petticoats were needed in winter. I wear anything up to 3 full length, rather than waist length, petticoats in winter, plus a hip length sleeveless vest like shift under my bra (react to the elastic) because I find it an easy way to stay warm. Ireland doesn't generally get as cold as the UK or US either but the layers assist with my arthritis. Like the padded half petticoat, will definitely think about adding one under my dresses and the flap at the top of the shift is also something I will consider adding as it would help conceal the bra when the neckline goes slightly wrong and is too low. Much more practical than a crinoline cage and I am seriously thinking about adapting some extra half petticoats for myself. I do admit to front lacing my dresses though as maids are in short supply in my neck of the woods. Like the corset as well, how practical are they for support with big busted wearers, thinking of a 38M (UK size) but even front laced bras are much easier to put on (butcher the bras myself and adapt for front spiral laces due to mobility issues, means I can dress myself) than the traditional back fastenings. Really like your videos as they are always so informative.
I would keep my heat off if my family would let me. I wonder how women back then dealt with "the change" while wearing layers of clothing and being trapped in stifeling rooms or too drafty rooms. Yikes! Thank you Central Air!
@@ABC1701A Actually, houses had heaters and fireplaces..Also, petticoats were made out of extremely soft and breathable material. 4 petticoats weren't usually needed anyway.

Aw good hubby! They're also good for lacing and unlacing corsets. Teehee! ;)
This looks like the dresses from old family photos in my grandfather’s house.
I guess my family was middle class back then!
‘And outside, with a different shawl. Because I am worth it.’ YESSSSS YOU GO GURL YOU ARE WORTH ITTTT *snaps fingers in the distance*
I have to say, as much as I love watching “creation of” garment videos, I really really adore your format. It’s so fun to see the whole thing come together!
Those knitted sleeves are genius!
And the award for cutest couple goes to... :D
I always look forward to your videos and Instagram stories!
it's so cute to think of women throughout history hopping to get their skirts straight
She's cute as cute can be
All those petticoats would be lovely and warm in winter, at a time when heating was basically non existent.
Love it. Wish we had something besides slips for modern dresses in cold weather.
you might try making slips in a warmer fabric for winter weather.. or add some of the period things like sontags (work great in an office) and shawls and warm felt hats as well as good warm gloves --to help you stay warm
Wow, a one piece dress! I was beginning to think all historical dresses were two piece.
Love the video! LOL "Because I"m worth it..."
If I could dress up like this, I would
He looks very good with a mustache! This is a particularly good outfit on you. I am not sure why, except that something about the hair style with this is very flattering, IMO.
Again another superb video; very informative. And this is one of my favorite styles, to pick my most favorite would be hard. Love how she shows what was worn and I love how she narrates what she's doing. She is very funny! I wish that I could wear some of these dresses. ;)
Thanks for sharing. Absolutely adorable. Both of you
BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT! LOL You go, girl.
The year 1848 was such an important one for Austrian history, I’d love to recreate an ensemble from that time one day! This video is a big inspiration :)
Your videos are always so interesting! If you or a friend is ever having a baby, you should do a series on maternity dressing from different periods of history!
A pillow under the dress would do, I think. Even if 19th century brought special "abdominal corsets" for "recently married ladies" I wouldn't want to see anyone wear a corset during pregnancy just to show a fashion style here.
@@inkenlampe4187 from what i have read- a pregnancy corset isnt about waistlines at all it is ALL about support. the way i carried my babies i am seriously short waisted & carried forward- my back ALWAYS hurt and that was before i wore corsets - if i had known of them i would have USED them.
Makes me think of Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester!
I'm crazy about your dresses. Every dresses are so wonderful.
As a history teacher,I love your videos.
I like them because I just really like this sorta fashion I love everything victorian,edwardian and even 18th century so yeah I am absolutely obsessed with this kind stuff
I love your dress up videos! I wish I could try these outfits myself, they're all so beautiful. Please keep these videos coming 😊
Best fashion accessory in this video: The Helpful Husband
I love that whenever hubby needs to help, he's also in period clothing! Love these videos!
I always look forward to your videos
I dont think I every fully realized how much they wore under their dresses.
well, that many petticoats is typical in cooler weather, the number of petticoats used will change with the weather
I recently decided on the setting of a novel I am working in this exact year, as it takes some inspiration from the beginning of the Pre-Raphaelite art movement! How amazing to find you’ve done a video of it! Thank you!
Good luck with your novel
It's been 2 years. How is your novel coming along?
Your videos are such fun to watch! Your outfit is absolutely beautiful - such quality and elegance. It's fascinating to see how our modern clothing (especially women's) has changed throughout history. So cute to see your husband helping you :)
I realize that these clothes were probably uncomfortable at times, and would be impractical by our standards, but my God, how beautiful and dignified they were in comparison to the "slob" look that we see on our streets today.
P.S.: she's in the same room that was used by the 1812 army officer. Is time travel canoodling going on? :)
Gunnar Thorsen thyme probably aren’t as comfortable to our standards but the fabrics are very breathable
What a handsome couple!
Wow! That's so beautiful and timeless. You look the essence of Charlotte Bronte and her husband in the end of the video. Love the style. ❤️
A very gracious silhouette you get!, great dress, locations and music!
Love the petticoats! I sometimes wear 2 or 3 layers of skirts just to have that silhouette on modern clothing, and it’s not that hot in a hot humid country.
every single time a person with boobs on this channel puts on a corset i die of envy a bit -- that looks incredibly supportive!
you should wear that outfit out to the Victorian and Albert museum just for a day trip
As always: perfect. Thanks.
I've recently fallen in love with all if your videos.
I love 1840s styles so pretty!
So beautiful. Love it. In my opinion this looks better than the crinoline cage. Crinolines got to the extrem most of the time. Love fashion history.
I love this dress! And the little hops to make the petticoats and dress skirt fall into place cracked me up. So adorable!
Wow. I am really surprised at how wide your skirts are with the corded petticoat and only 3 others! I've seen the corded petticoats but they always looked like they would collapse a lot under the skirt. Thank you for sharing!
I am hand-sewing my 1847 dress, so I appreciated this demo lots, especially for the petticoat layering. Guess I'll hit Value Village for some bedsheets and curtains.
Very interesting! I'm so thankful I didn't live back then. I think I'd never go out!. Thank you for all these wonderful videos. You and your husband are very attractive and are made for each other.
looks very nice and warm. love all those pettis!
Love your videos ! I didn’t realize what a workout it was to get dressed back then 😃
Love the pic of you and your hubby on the steps.
Oh! Dressing in front😱 of the window! I love these videos, delightful!
Very charming; you make a lovely picture, as always. I was particularly intrigued by the chemise flap - had not seen that before. And, I appreciate the stills to see the close-up of bodice and sleeves.
it's good that the husband came to the rescue, as there would be questions if the butler or stable boy came in! ; )
I love the fabric you chose!
You and your husband are adorable. I love your videos ❤️
Another wonderful video - I do so love watching these... and hubby looks very dapper with his moustache! Wonderful stuff :)!!
APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! very nice thank you!
Interesting seeing one-piece dresses when so many were separates by the later 1800's! When did a separate skirt/bodice become the norm?
And LOL, I do the same with petticoats! I just drop the whole lot in one go and make the "giant sea anemone" on the floor!
I love these videos. It's like a time capsule.
You are so pretty!! Awesome video!!! And the commentary was funny :)
The video of dressing up the husband can’t wait!!!!!! Aaah please upload it soon!
The fabric of your dress is absolutely gorgeous, and I love how the pleats add extra detail without being gaudy. Just stunning; great video!
The purple mantlet is very fetching; wish we could wear those today.
Love this channel! Lovely dress to day. Hugs from Norway.
I am so happy that your channel came across my feed! Thank you for the video and as always, you look lovely!
Pretty as always, and with a bit of fun too ... you rock!
As a student of history in college and a lover of anything historical, I’m completely enthralled with your videos. 💕
Your videos are so charming!
Love your videos!!!! Please don’t stop making them!
I love all your work and your videos!!! Thank you!
This is one of my favorite fashion decades. I made a dress based off this era and I'm making a graphic novel and the characters' clothes are based off mostly off the 1840s and 1850s.
Lovely! I love watching your videos. I've learned so much. Thank you for creating and sharing your talent.🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your presentations.
always a pleasure to watch your informative videos!
growing up in the 1950's, us middle (working) class little girls wore several petticoats/crinolines over our slips to get that distinctive poofey look for our dressier short dresses. School meant just a slip and one petticoat under our mostly plaid school dresses.
I rember my Grandma talking about those. They always looked so pretty. Were they uncomfortable?
As always a treat and delight. Thank you :)
You two are so lovely! Love your work.
Lovely video and very educational and entertaining. I really liked the outdoor shots. And this time, the music fitted perfectly and wasn’t overwhelming. Thank you.
I love all of your videos so much! Thank you!!
Thank you for opening your shop. I adore your videos
wonderfully detailed. What a labour of love. Thank you for this wonderful insight to how we used to dress. Not sue I could hold all that fabric up . :D
You remind me of Jane Eyre at her happiest. Lovely ensemble!
Beautiful! I love all the petticoats! So fun to watch!!
Your videos are amazing! I had no idea they had to wear so many petticoats. The material for all the clothes is beautiful. Thank you for your presentations, and your husband. From the USA.
Oglądając Wasze filmy przenoszę się do tamtych czasów. Potraficie genialnie oddać klimat i atmosferę. No i poczucie humoru. Czuję, że jesteś wspaniałą, pełną humoru, pasji i zaangażowania kobietą. No i ta pracowitość... Pozdrawiam z Polski ♥️😘
You are funny. Love your work as always. I would pass out wearing all those layers.
I'm so going back to this dressing. Love it!
Very elegant. And your hubby is looking dapper. A lovely couple❤
lovely video and lovely husband to the rescue :D
Love your channel. It calms me.
That does look like quite a warm dress - or at least the first petticoat does.
Annette McIntyre I’m pretty sure she said it was for winter. Lighter petticoats made of different fabrics would come into play during summer.
Amber Page yeah I think like linen petticoats in the summer (for working class women like 2 linen petticoats top)
I really love watching your videos. For some reason... This dress reminds me of when I was little. I watched a lot of little house on the prairie. Lol I had these books... Ugh .. I can't remember the names. I don't think it was American girl, they were much more modern. I Had my grandma make me a pink dress and apron. I know I'm probably a bit off on the times ect. But it's still fun.
It is such a pleasure to watch you!
Congrats Izabela! Still a great vintage and you are the perfect model as always...
Thank you so much for this. I really liked seeing the chemise because I had seen the one in the Workwoman’s Guide with the little flap in the front and wondered about it. Hadn’t thought about how it would fold down over the corset.
You two are perfect. Thanks for sharing 💖
Very nice! I do this once a year when the Renaissance festival comes to town! Lots of fun!
