I have this image in my head of a bunch of fancy Victorian ladies getting up from tea and then hopping up and down to fix their flounces before leaving the drawing room.
I expect a lady wearing a dress such as this would have had a maid helping her dress. It is refreshing to see you dressing yourself to show that, though it may be a bit challenging at times, one can dress oneself. The dress is stunning!!
that corset is gorgeous. love the color and the way the elements like gussets, flossing, and cording come together. corsets are such gorgeous pieces of undergarment
I love, love, love this dress. The 1850s-60s are my favorite period for fashion! I wish I could wear this so bad, I love the flounces and the sleeves. c:
Honestly the “ugly” is genius! You wouldn’t need multiple “longer-visored” hats when just adding the ugly to whatever you were wearing was possible. And adjustable? Yes please!
I became oddly nostalgic watching this, as it made me think of the many Elsa Beskow books I read as a child. This dress looks so similar to what the ladies in her books wear (Aunt Brown, Aunt Green, and Aunt Lavender, if you ever want to look them up).
Oooh, I loved those! And Aunt Lavender's dresses especially. It's cool that as an adult you're more or less able to pinpoint the decade in which the books are set, based on the dress fashion, thanks to priorattire and others!
I thought the little hop you do while adjusting your skirts was the most adorable, but then you tried on the various caps, and it got even cuter! I do hope you/your knitting friend will share some knitting patterns in a future book! I didn't expect to be so charmed by this dress, but you make it seem so lovely.
Ooooh the sunflower dress! I think this may be my favorite, of all the beautiful garments you've made. I remember seeing it for the first time and being like 😱
I think this silhouette is my favorite from the Victorian era. It's just lovely. The outfit itself is quite lovely too. Although, those sleeves are giving me serious Elizabethan/Tudor vibes.
Is súper cute! I love how the false sleeves where a thing to minimize layera and still look puffy. The thing for the hat reminds me at those little unbrellas that some people use on theyr heads 😂. Wey should bring the pompomy cap into mainstream it's awesome!
Oh! I'm writing a story that takes place in the 1850s! What timing! Of course it's set in a little farming village out in California so there won't be a bustle in sight, but I feel like I'm going to have to have someone woman clearly "keeping up with the Joneses" wear one anyway. I wish I knew about "uglies" when I started, it would be perfect for this one character who wears an unfashionably face hiding bonnet because she has facial scars. That would be perfect for whenever she's off the farmstead.
Basically look like a huge meringue :) What a beautiful dress, and informative video; I also liked the comparison with the working class woman's dress from last time.
Always such a pleasure to watch you get dressed! Now that I just reread that, guess it doesn’t sound so nice, I’m tired and it’s late. But the dress is really beautiful!
I just sewed my first historical outfit. A Pet en l'air. I LOVED my pocket hoops. I'm looking and this and wondering how we went from ample pocket space to no pockets. lol
Oh, the rustling of that taffeta! 😍👂🏻 What a gorgeous dress this is, giving me summer vibes! (or rather -longings, since all the rain that poured down these last weeks 🙄) Also... the subtitles are a hot but very funny mess 😄 ‘Queer spotters, particles, acrylic video, glances, organ d, wall sleeves’... time to educate the automatic system some Victorian vocabulary 🤪
I love your channel. It is so much fun. You are helping with my dolls. I make custom dolls and outfits. I love when you jump up and down. That dress is fantastic.
Hello!! 🙂🙂 I live in Russia !! I really like your channel ... sometimes I watch the original, and sometimes I turn on subtitles😙😙😙. Thank you for telling and showing everything in detail !! 👍👍👍
There is a very obscure movie with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Dame Maggie Smith named "Washington Square". It is also set in late 1850s. There is a very beautiful yellow day time bbq gown in that movie, and it reminds me of this dress.
I absolutely love the corset. I am goinfnto try and make myself one that is mostly corded. I want to use hemp rope for the cording. It's quite stiff and expands when washed so it would only tighten in the channels. I absolutely love the yellow fabric of this dress. So beautiful 😍
Just subscribed because the 19th century history and attire in the USA and in the UK, Europe is so fascinating! You are thorough, informative, talented, and a lovely model for these interesting, beautiful garments! (including the "ugly")
Yet another dress to add to my future project list 😆 I love these getting dressed videos. Especially when you show us variations of how to wear the same dress.
You are amazingly talented. I am just beginning and sorta struggling but I am getting there slowly. But until early next year I have to put it all on hold due pregnancy and the changes that come with it.
PLEASE SHOW IT TO US!❣️ Where are you from? Keeping up traditional clothing, is very important today! We live in quick changing times. So it's a kind of DUTY, to show newer generations old tecniques. Please give it to us!
Minus the “Covid pompoms” I would actually wear that last knitted cap during the winter. It’s much cuter than many hats that I’ve seen and would actually keep my ears warm. You could start a side business selling them.😊
I read before deodorants we’re invented women would use cotton pads under their arms to prevent odour/sweat soaking into the dress which wouldn’t be washed very often. The pads could be changed out as needed. Aaaaaand you just mentioned it lol
Your coronavirus cap is actually the cutest! It suits your outfit and made you look kinda like a delicate porcelain doll in a fancy shop that I would definitely fall in love with despite being an adult! Hope it sounds like a compliment to you because I was really trying to 🥰 Love dresses from this era and hope for more videos!
This is once again a stunning dress Izabella :o I absolutely loved every moment of the video and great that you present different ways of wearing it. Thank you for taking your time to make this videos so we can dream some !
Oooh yay! I saw the photos on your instagram of this dress, and was really hoping you would be making a video of it! I just love how fun and fluffy these 1850s dresses are
The hat with the pom-poms at the end reminded me of the pictures of old Hollywood stars where they have scarves wrapped around their heads to protect their hairdos. I wonder if the style of that hat inspired that look.
Thank you for this charming and educational video! You are adorable and your dressmaking skills are exceptional. I'm researching fashion in 1857, and now I understand the style so much better. Holy cow, I complain about dressing in layers for the Oregon winters, but that's _nothing_ compared to what women in the 19th century went through.
I love this. Especially the jumping to fix the flounces, I understand that so much, it is so hard to get them to sit right. I had one question though. When I made my first 1860s dress, I went to Gettysburg, and I bought a bonnet at a hat store in town, but the back of my neck ended up getting so sunburned. My face did a bit too, and the Ugly seems to be the solution to that problem, but... it only covers the front of your head. I see that your bonnet and neckline leave a bit of the back of your neck exposed. So in direct sun for hours, you would probably have the same problem I did. My neckline was a little lower in the back than yours in this dress, but it was still pretty high. And the bonnet bottom just doesn't cover the whole neck in any of these 1850s to 1860s fashions from what I can see. Was there anything they would use, aside from holding a parasol? I'm surprised the Ugly didn't go farther back to also solve the neck problem, but I guess keeping your face untanned was more important than the back of your neck at the time. Either way, I really love this dress, and the video was just great. The Coronavirus cap though was the best thing ever.
I remember my granny (born in 1897 in the American South) having a bonnet that she wore while working In her garden as having an extended “ruffle” on the back to protect the neck from sun. I wish I still had it but it disappeared after she died.
I have this image in my head of a bunch of fancy Victorian ladies getting up from tea and then hopping up and down to fix their flounces before leaving the drawing room.
Yep me too believe me when I tell ya 😃
NICE 👍
👍
Yess!
I have missed the "settle the flounces" jumping. I love it.
i lowkey love how you arent afraid of using colors that look like they belong on autocamper curtains, its sort of immersive
Carol Burnett: "Thank you. I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist it."
The rustling of all that taffeta! 😆 No sneaking up on someone in that outfit. Beautiful though!
tfw you're an assassin trying to sneak into the royal palace but the rustling of your skirts keeps alerting the guards
Its a sign of wealth to wear a noisy dress.
Madam, did you say sweat! Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies glow, I thought you knew that!! Lovely dress and video as always
I expect a lady wearing a dress such as this would have had a maid helping her dress. It is refreshing to see you dressing yourself to show that, though it may be a bit challenging at times, one can dress oneself. The dress is stunning!!
that corset is gorgeous. love the color and the way the elements like gussets, flossing, and cording come together. corsets are such gorgeous pieces of undergarment
I love, love, love this dress. The 1850s-60s are my favorite period for fashion! I wish I could wear this so bad, I love the flounces and the sleeves. c:
same! the 1850s and 1860s were just gorgeous.
Mine too!! I feel like the 1700s have been getting a lot of attention lately, so I adore seeing the 1850s showcased 😍
The sound the silk and taffeta makes is pure joy❤️👏👏👏
I was just imagining a ballroom full of women in taffeta dresses :D so rustly
Honestly the “ugly” is genius! You wouldn’t need multiple “longer-visored” hats when just adding the ugly to whatever you were wearing was possible. And adjustable? Yes please!
I'm going to need a knitting pattern for the Coronavirus Cap so I can bring that back into fashion this winter. 'Rona fashion! 😂
I became oddly nostalgic watching this, as it made me think of the many Elsa Beskow books I read as a child. This dress looks so similar to what the ladies in her books wear (Aunt Brown, Aunt Green, and Aunt Lavender, if you ever want to look them up).
Oh those were so lovely books and I loved the brown dress when I was little 😊
Oooh, I loved those! And Aunt Lavender's dresses especially. It's cool that as an adult you're more or less able to pinpoint the decade in which the books are set, based on the dress fashion, thanks to priorattire and others!
We need for these fashions to make a comeback!
Lol if only for the pockets
But yes I would happily wear something like this
I thought the little hop you do while adjusting your skirts was the most adorable, but then you tried on the various caps, and it got even cuter! I do hope you/your knitting friend will share some knitting patterns in a future book!
I didn't expect to be so charmed by this dress, but you make it seem so lovely.
Honestly I want those summer/winter sleeves. They’re super cute.
Ooooh the sunflower dress! I think this may be my favorite, of all the beautiful garments you've made. I remember seeing it for the first time and being like 😱
The one dislike is from the fiddly buttons
As an avid knitter, I've seen the Victorian knitting patterns for the sortie hat and "coronavirus hat" :D It's nice to see them used in context!
I think this silhouette is my favorite from the Victorian era. It's just lovely. The outfit itself is quite lovely too. Although, those sleeves are giving me serious Elizabethan/Tudor vibes.
I really see why a lady’s maid was practically a necessity - so much going on!
AS shown- not necessary, just convenient
@@priorattire I’m just a clothing klutz - I guess it would be less daunting had I grown up with it. You make it look easy - love your work!
@@priorattire I was surprised to see you tie your corset. From books, I always thought someone else had to do it for you!
Is súper cute! I love how the false sleeves where a thing to minimize layera and still look puffy. The thing for the hat reminds me at those little unbrellas that some people use on theyr heads 😂. Wey should bring the pompomy cap into mainstream it's awesome!

1850s are my absolute favorite of all decades of english dress history!! I dream of owning one day an outfit like this. Thank you for sharing!
Simply a fabulous way of dressing up a lady for all seasons!
Another stunner! It looks so warm & summery!
The green & gold combo feel very Australian to me (an Australian, lol)
I yelled "Yes!" when you described the advantages of the cage crinoline! The entire ensemble is beautiful. Subscribed
Always a pleasure watching. Thank you for a very entertaining 20 minutes or so.
its so crazy how differently clothes were constructed back then, compared from they are way now.
I love the dresses from this era.
I am a guy and even I would love to wear one of these gorgeous feminine dresses.
I adore your channel, it's like time travelling ! Thank you for your presentations 😍😍😍
If only this fashion made a everyday comeback.
That is more than a dress. That’s an ✨event✨
Love it!
My sister and I really enjoy watching the gowns from 1800 , I had no idea that there was so many layers of the dress
We all need a Corona Virus hat to wear with our rustling skirts. Love your laugh. It was such fun laughing with you. :)
Always such a pleasure to watch you get dressed! Now that I just reread that, guess it doesn’t sound so nice, I’m tired and it’s late. But the dress is really beautiful!
I like the aesthetic when she only had the one petticoat over the cage. It looked like a fantasy villager kind of dress and I really liked it
I just sewed my first historical outfit. A Pet en l'air. I LOVED my pocket hoops. I'm looking and this and wondering how we went from ample pocket space to no pockets. lol
Oh, the rustling of that taffeta! 😍👂🏻

I would love to see the corona cap featured in the companion book and possibly glove patterns that would be amazing!!!!
You do such lovely work. Thank you for sharing.
I love your channel. It is so much fun. You are helping with my dolls. I make custom dolls and outfits. I love when you jump up and down. That dress is fantastic.
So beautiful, must be a real treat to dress this way!
I love your videos. Thank you so much for all your work.
Hello!! 🙂🙂 I live in Russia !! I really like your channel ... sometimes I watch the original, and sometimes I turn on subtitles😙😙😙. Thank you for telling and showing everything in detail !! 👍👍👍
Amazing garments! I think my favorite design element is the lovely sleeves.
Oh, the field of sunflowers! You look like a bonny sunflower yourself in that dress.
Your choices of fabric and colors is inspired!! What beautiful garments, every piece!!❤

What a way to start my day! You made it! That bodice is so frick'n beautiful!
The undergarments section is my favourite part of these videos.
Just subscribed because the 19th century history and attire in the USA and in the UK, Europe is so fascinating! You are thorough, informative, talented, and a lovely model for these interesting, beautiful garments! (including the "ugly")
They wore beautiful clothes.. they looked so pretty.. I wish I could visit Victorian days (in England) for once..
Your 1850's dress is beautiful- loved the design......
Now I want to time travel to the Victorian era just so I can say "I'm putting my Ugly on". 😁😁
Lovely, taffetta, bows, flounces what's not to like! I so love to see these things recreated, thank you so much for sharing.
When you tried on the second cap - the knitted one - you looked like Miss Melly in Gone With the Wind.
So lovely and sweet. Love your sense of humor and your delightful laugh. Thank you, dear Lady, for sharing. Ax
Absolutely an exquisite dress. Beautiful.
Both you and your content are rays of sunshine! I can't wait to get your books!
Lovely dress and coordinate! I actually think it's so much fun to wear hoop skirts. You can swing around in a gown it's so much fun.
Yet another dress to add to my future project list 😆
I love these getting dressed videos. Especially when you show us variations of how to wear the same dress.
That dress is sooo gorgeous! And all the extras, absolutely lovely.
This dress is so pretty and amazing. I love seeing what people wore in the past so interesting!
OMG! I love the yellow dress but I am now obsessed with the pink one!!
In this period the undergarments are an outfit in of themselves
You are amazingly talented. I am just beginning and sorta struggling but I am getting there slowly. But until early next year I have to put it all on hold due pregnancy and the changes that come with it.
I love English historical dressing! But before I learn how to do that, I should learn how to make my own nationalities historical clothing :)
PLEASE SHOW IT TO US!❣️
Where are you from? Keeping up traditional clothing, is very important today! We live in quick changing times. So it's a kind of DUTY, to show newer generations old tecniques.
Please give it to us!
You can do it! go for it we need more nationalities showcasing their historical stuff, English only becomes boring!
This dress is absolutely gordious.I confess I have a soft corner for false sleeves ,very charming/practical
Gone with the wind Miss Scarlet😉. Lovely Dress
By the time I got into all of that, with or without help, I'd be ready to take it all off and go lay down for a long nap!!!
if i am not talking takes about 6 minutes....
the sortie cap gives me queen amidala fashion vibes
Minus the “Covid pompoms” I would actually wear that last knitted cap during the winter. It’s much cuter than many hats that I’ve seen and would actually keep my ears warm. You could start a side business selling them.😊
I already have a main business selling historical clothing…
Wow, What a Beautiful, and Delightful dress... Love the colors!😃
Absolutely stunning Both in execution and appearance😍🤩
What absolutely gorgeous fabric, ensembles.
I read before deodorants we’re invented women would use cotton pads under their arms to prevent odour/sweat soaking into the dress which wouldn’t be washed very often. The pads could be changed out as needed.
Aaaaaand you just mentioned it lol
Dress shields were still around in the 1960s.
Your coronavirus cap is actually the cutest!

Hope it sounds like a compliment to you because I was really trying to 🥰 Love dresses from this era and hope for more videos!
for those who wonder, the cage petticoat are very available today from a bridal shop.
Alas, usually wrong shape and not sturdy enough
@@priorattire so wear two?
@@wigglypaw how does 2 make it the rigth shape?
This is once again a stunning dress Izabella :o I absolutely loved every moment of the video and great that you present different ways of wearing it. Thank you for taking your time to make this videos so we can dream some !
Calling something an ugly is no worse than people today calling a boot an ugg.
Imagine the year is 1851, you wake up, get dressed, and since its cold you put on your covid cap.
The year would actually be 1856 or onwards; the very first crinoline was patented in 1856. This dress is actually late 1850s.
You admitted to knowing how to crochet, so now i beg for a tutorial! ^^ crochet something for a look of yours ! =D
The outfit is very beautiful I wish to fashion come back.
Oooh yay! I saw the photos on your instagram of this dress, and was really hoping you would be making a video of it! I just love how fun and fluffy these 1850s dresses are
The hat with the pom-poms at the end reminded me of the pictures of old Hollywood stars where they have scarves wrapped around their heads to protect their hairdos. I wonder if the style of that hat inspired that look.
My goodness! So much fabric!

Holy cow, I complain about dressing in layers for the Oregon winters, but that's _nothing_ compared to what women in the 19th century went through.
Lovely video showing us the huge skirts of the 1850s
This is my favourite dress you made, I really like it
That is a stunning corset!!
I actually love the "coronavirus cap!" 😄
this whole outfit is so cheerful looking in that lovely yellow !
I love this. Especially the jumping to fix the flounces, I understand that so much, it is so hard to get them to sit right. I had one question though.

A scarf?
Then a sun bonnet was worn.
I remember my granny (born in 1897 in the American South) having a bonnet that she wore while working In her garden as having an extended “ruffle” on the back to protect the neck from sun. I wish I still had it but it disappeared after she died.
I love the tiny knit cap!! So cute
Les robes de cette époque victorienne m'ont toujours fait rêver ! 🤩
Mais il en fallait du temps pour s'habiller...
Merci pour la vidéo !
I love the corset. It looks comfortable.
now you can go to the imperial court in Vienna to visit the empress Sissi ;)
or you can go to France at the Elysée Palace to see the president / emperor Napoleon III
Jellyfish dress made my day :)
I've never seen a chemise like that!
