Probably the 20s through the 40s, except for those shoulder pads
1850-1869, love those excessively humongous skirts, without the puffy sleeves tho
I have no year, I like the beauty
The years before the sewing machine because all of those outfits were hand sewn. I find it just amazing (!!) that the Seamstress had the dexterity to make such fine sewing details. Very simply: make a pattern, buy the fabric and make the outfit fit to the tee! Yet, it wasn’t so simple, it took an imaginative mind to dream and put the idea on paper, then one had to seek out where to buy the fabric (surely it wasn’t a few minutes drive to a major retailer), and then hand sew each and every stitch using a needle. I like to know how Scarlett O’Hara stored her dresses. The closets had to be huge! : )
The first decade. Second best is the 1860-1865.
1814 and 1815 somewhat look like the fashion around 1910! Amazing to see how fashion comes back, even in that era!
Very true very true!! 💓💕
I noticed that too! The rosy one looked like the Titanic era tea-evening dress style as well!
Completely agree with you
Yes they revived it around 1910, and also revived the late Georgian style in interiors, furniture, book binding and silver at the same time
I was saying the exact same thing to myself!!!
I love the simplicity of the 1810s. They are so pretty and also look comfortable to wear.
I just want one of them 😍
Many are so similar to what they sell now in stores, like the 1810 but way shorter 😅
Like a big nightshirt.
I could not shake myself from Scarlet Ohara's barbacoa green gown and all of Empress Sissi's ensembles. I grew up admiring those above all, and at my wedding, I decided to go with that style, regardless of how unflattering it might look or how unpopular it was. It made me feel magnificent, and since then I have been wearing my dress again a few times while I was alone at the house. Crazy? Yes! But it makes me feel magnificent every time! :)
One other movie with gorgeous period dresses is The Age of Innocence.
I am so happy to hear that. Many things in life it is important to do right by others, but when it comes to a gorgeous gown - you gotta do right by yourself and your taste! And I think it's spectacular that you can still enjoy the dress even after it's pinnacle moment.
@@pickle6846 Thanks! :)
i mean, if i ever got to get married in a fancy wedding dress that i will never have the occasion to wear again, i would do the same thing...
i'd probably also go as a "zombie bride" for Halloween every year too 🤣💯
Gotta get your money's worth somehow 🤷🏽
Well, you did pay for the dress, may as well put it to good use!
Puffed sleeves make me think of Anne of Green Gables and Anne's desire for a dress with puffed sleeves. I think I like every era except for the 30's and 90's.
I always think of Miss Shirley whenever I see puffed sleeves too. 😉
I thought the exact same thing. My daughter just started reading Anne of Green Gables yesterday.
Easily the 1860s was the loveliest. It's clear to me that the "stock fairytale princess" dress shape is heavily inspired by 1860s. The stereotypical gowns usually have that bell shape and the ornamentation. I'm sure some of the designs also come from kirtle gowns as well, but the 1860s is clearly in the mix as well.
Nicole Rudolph has a video on that
The 1860s was apparently also when the "badonkadonk" was invented...
Who needs a Brazilian butt lift when you can just build one into your dress design?
Fascinating...
It’s my least liked decade (the ridiculous hoop skirts!) bet each to her own
@@mamavswildwhat about the 1700s
@@mamavswildYou're right!
The Regency era is my favourite. Soft & feminine. I like the shorter stays. They were like really supportive bras.
Stays aren’t actually that horrible, surprisingly. If you don’t tight lace. My own experience is dressing for Renaissance Faires. I guess they’d be outer bodices, but same difference. Girls were supported, looked as good as any VS bra, comfortable all day🤷♀️. An added bonus back support. I’m a little bigger on top. You can adjust them too by lacing from just support, to va va vroom lol
I've always loved the 1840s style. It may have been "modest", but the silhouette is so flattering! The 1890s or early 1900s (Edwardian) are close seconds.
Me too those are my favourites
Edit-oh and the first 3 decades
Agree 💯
1810 teens. I'm a Regency gal all the way! Lovely video. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed!!! Such a beautiful time
Every time I fall in love with a 19th century dress it's always from the 1860s. Such an elegant decade for fashion despite political turmoil.
I do like the Regency classical dresses but the 1880 dropped bustle with the form fitting bodice is my favourite. So elegant. Thank you for showing this - much better than going through the fashion books.
I am TOTALLY obsessed with the 1870s and 1880s dresses! LOVE the bustles and long trains!😍
I like all dresses, but mostly those from 1800 to 1810. They look so natural and I love the beginning of the century also in music, poetry and arts. Very interesting video!
Thank you Almut! Welcome to the channel!! I agree with you! A lovely time it was
Same here, just thought how uncomfortable to be dressed all day 😢
The dresses of the 1800s look really comfortable and there's something really refreshing in their simplicity. That said, I've always had a soft spot for the large mid-century skirts. I should mention I grew up watching Gone with the Wind, as well as the Sissi trilogy with Romy Schneider. A feast for the eyes!
Agreed!
They look comfortable? Really? To me they look many things, but comfortable isn't one of them, as the mid-century dresses would never fit or hang right without a tight corset and layers of crinoline and horsehair underneath. On the other hand the early years of the century, the "empire" style freed women from corsetry, finally, after centuries. But then...they had to squeeze back into the corsets for nearly another century.
@@dinazina55 you obviously didn't understand what I said. I meant the early-century dresses were comfortable, not the mid-century ones.
The 1860s dresses are the most beautiful and romantic and what you imagine today when you think about a princess ball gown.
I've shamelessly watched this video several times. I'm absolutely floored at how beautiful these dresses are! I'm absolutely mesmerized!
My favourites are the Regency fashions. They seem so refined, elegant and comfortable at once.
I think you make an excellent case!!⚜️
I always loved the fashion of the 1860s-1880s. The epitome of Victorian fashion
I LOVED this video!! I'd love to see more like this, with other fashions, or men's fashions from the same Era. This is such a cool progression! It would also be cool to see a time-lapse of all these dresses lined up so you can see the ballooning and shrinking of skirts and sleeves
Very true!! Sounds good!! I’m so glad you enjoyed
Agreed! I’d love to see a video like this with hats 😁
The Regency Style dresses are lovely.
I agree!! Welcome to the channel Diane!! ❤️⚜️
The Regency Era and The Gilded Age cannot be beaten. Hands down!
The 1880s is my favorite decade for dresses. I love that the gowns are tightly fitted and flat in front with the bustle at the back. I also love be the beautiful colors, fabric and ornamentation.
What a beautiful video!! Great narration and music. I love the 1860's and especially the dresses for 1861 and 1863 - so pretty. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed!! 💕💓
Give me Empire/Regency styles every time. The clean, classical look is gorgeous especially when complete to the rest of the century and it’s excesses of bizarrely big sleeves, hoop skirts and bustles. Why did women give up the ease of 1800-1820 for increasingly restrictive clothes and undergarments?
Indeed Monica. I too love the empire styles.
Because men did not want them to be able to be more independent and think for themselves and start to participate in Civic and public life. Keeping them as decorations was another way of oppressing them and controlling them.
@@mlcarver1739 Yep.
I have read somewhere that a big hoopskirt was actually some form of empowerment because the bigger the hoop, the bigger your personal space.
Se fueron complicado y aunque es de alavarse su espero en cada pliegue, escarola, encaje.
I’m a 90s fan. I loved the 1790s and the 1890s (after 1895) elegant and feminine and comfortable.
Same 1790, 1890 and 1990 are all my favs!!!
I like how it starts off with the beautiful airy cottons and immediately the century takes a left turn with the satin silk taffetas with the crazy tulle trims and hanging thingie and all the colors. I love the ruffle monsters you picked for 1853 and 1862 but I wouldn't mind skipping all the way to 1880 lol. Shoutout to the 1842 sample -- I love the color and the detail on the neckline and how simple-but-thoroughly-intricate the skirt looks
The 1860's ones are absolutely gorgeous
I love vintage fashions from the 19th century
Fashion is designed to make people feel insecure unless they buy whatever is new and trendy. Some designers just come out and say that directly. So fashion has to keep changing so that people will keep spending money on the new trend, and then that trend goes out, time goes by and it comes back in again. Except for codpieces, you rarely see them : )
That's a modern trend ever since fashion houses became a thing. (Worth is different. The first Worth was like a fairy dictator. He decided if your fit was it or not. And he just made the same white dresses and added different trimmings.)
Idk too much about his son except that house of Worth made the peacock gown (a beautiful garment with an extremely distasteful history)
Otherwise most fashion was dictated by people's personal preferences/current events (back then) and propaganda.
The big hips of the Georgian period (1700s) went out of fashion with the French revolution and wanted to get away from the opulence of the royals/nobility.
The hair styles went out of fashion not long after due to a flour shortage (the powder part of pomade and powder)
The 1500s were marked by the somber dress to show their "devotion to god" (Spain was the fashion capital of the world back then) Tudor fashion is warmer than other medieval fashion trends because of a mini ice age caused by the volcano in Iceland going off years before.
Romans and Hellans (Greeks) being in warmer climes wore little more than a cloth draped about them or pinned together at the shoulders. The more fabric you wore, the wealthier you were.
And the issues you describe only really became an issue about the same time looking like a heroin Addict became the it look
Absolutely all of them I adore historical fashion and the details and work that they did just fascinating to watch and think about all the effort that went into making those garments and how absolutely breathtaking they turned out just absolutely love it thank you for sharing this video
The entire compilation is exquisite. I utterly adore the 1887 French Blue and yellow dress with a fur collar. I could not choose a favorite decade, all are lovely. A woman should wear whatever flatters her and brings her joy. I love bustles and hoop skirts but they look extremely inconvenient. I am not sure how the ladies traveled around wearing them. There are restaurants in the southern US that include beautiful ladies 'lounges' along with restrooms. They include settees and couches, ornamental wallpaper, gilded mirrors and attendants. I almost wonder if women of certain decades arrived to events decently but partially 'dressed', if that makes any sense. Then completed their attire in the lady's lounge. Kind of like being a member of a wedding party. One generally dresses, or completes dressing at the destination. No one wants to horse and buggy or walk through filthy streets in opulent attire.
Wonderful video. Lots of research went into this. So interesting to see how fashion goes and then comes back and then goes.... Lesson to be learned in today's world, if you really love an outfit and it looks good on you, wear it proudly!!!
The 1887 dress is chefs kiss. So beautiful 😍
1870s and 1880s were top tier for sure! Loooove the details and all the interesting fabrics and folds!
It looks as though the costume designers of the BBC/PBS series Sanditon did a good job with the 1820s. I always think of the accuracy of the 1850s when I see Bette Davis in Jezebel. The costume designs of the Civil War era and afterwards are beautifully accurate in Gone With the Wind. Coming back to TV, a beautiful job of the late 1860s to early 1870s costuming is done in Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman. Especially beautiful are the segments done in Boston and DC! You can tell the designers had fun pulling out all the stops. It looks as though costume designers throughout the history of movies and TV have done their homework. There are just too many to mention.
Sanditon was a very enjoyable show!! Love Gone With The Wind!! Very very true
The costumes in Hamilton are very well done too considering the dancing all the actors had to do. (Especially the Schuyler sisters)
1860s for me is the era of grand dresses and my fave. In particular, the 1864 dress is somewhat similar to Queen Victoria's wedding dress which I adore. 😍
Excellent points!! Such a beautiful and exuberant time for women’s fashion!
The 1890s are so underrated.. easily my favorite fashion and historical period
My Favorite time are the 1850s and 1860s.
I love those skirts and crinolines❤️😍
Early 19th century for me very simplistic and elegant
I loved this video! It was wonderful to see the progression/style/shapes/fabric of fashion through the years .
Especially for the year of 1873 which is the year our home was built. I have often wondered what the fashion of the day was for that period. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you so very much! Your comment means a great deal!! I agree!! It is so interesting to see what people were wearing when you have objects from that time or a home from that time!
The 1880 dress is absolutely beautiful and the 1890 dress is a close second for me. Great video! I'm going to look for some books on the subject.
I love the 1830's dresses. They look like something for dolls, especially the adorable bonnets :)
Very true
That's my LEAST favorite decade of 1800s fashion... and yes, that was the intended effect -- to make women look like dolls. And the bonnets were akin to horse blinkers, limiting peripheral sight.
I loved the 1880s dresses, but who doesn't adore the 1860s.
You make a great point❤️⚜️
Great video!!!! My favorite period is from 1890's to early 1900's. Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for your wonderful comment Julieann!! 💖
I agree gibson girl era is *chefs kiss*
I like the 1810s with the empire waists and simpler lines although I admit to a fascination for the craziness of 1820-30s dress hairstyles!
I love the dresses of the 1880's. They were just so stunning and feminine.
Love your curation! The background music is equally delightful ❤
Thank you for your appreciation!!❤️
The only style I haven't really liked in this century was the back-bustle c.1880s onwards. I like the Princess style. My favourite has always been the 1840s through to about mid 1860s, and this video only reinforces that preference! It's probably why my favourite couture period of the last century is 1950s. I think the bustle was attempting to emulate Sarah Baartman, the Khoisan woman being paraded in London at that time. I actually cannot imagine how awkward it must have been trying to sit down with a bustle on, particularly the shelf-type variety. Now you need to do another of these, WITH THE HATS, SHAWLS, PARASOLS, etc. Thank you very much. Greetings form South Africa.
The idea that the Bustle was inspired by Sarah Baartman is a complete myth. Mrs Baartman was brought to London in 1810 and died in 1815, 60 years before the bustle ever came into fashion.
I don't know where this misconception arose, but is so easily disproven to the point of being laughable.
@@rustyshadeofred , ok, you definitely have me by dates then! What do you think inspired the back bustle? The Elizabethan stomacher can be explained by needing to hide pregnancies, whether legitimate or otherwise, from an eccentric old Queen; the 1700s paniers probably exaggerate the hips to suggest ease of childbirth and fecundity; the bell skirts are simply a fancification of many petticoats (which, besides adding warmth, also prove wealth, like jewelry), but to what can we possibly ascribe the back-bustle? The tightness across the front hampers walking (let alone running) far more than a multitude of petticoats ever could, let alone a crinoline or farthingale (which probably seemed like a blessed release to the women who were relieved of the excessive weight of many starch-stiffened petticoats); and the back? Whatever for? You can't even sit properly - have to perch on the very edge of a chair! Mind you, they (the men and some nurses, that is) were out here fighting the Anglo-Boer Wars at about the time of the back bustle. Trying to annex our gold and diamonds, that is. Gold, actually, by that time. They already had the diamonds by that time. Maybe they were reminded about Sarah Baartman. Maybe not. Just after dear Lord Kitchener had done with slaughtering a whole bunch of people in Khartoum, they sent him here. Very kind. It also fascinates me that at just the time that British do-gooders and Missionaries were in China passionately fighting the foot-binding of upper-class Chinese women as barbaric and cruel, the corset in Britain and Europe was so tight as to be close to severing a woman's kidneys; and the back-bustle was hampering her running just as effectively as a hobble around a horse's ankles, or the bound-feet of the Chinese they were champing at the bit about. Human beings are just so very odd sometimes. I'm not attacking you, Rusty Red Man. I'm just always very interested to try and work out why fashions turn the way they do at certain times. Male and female fashions, and children's fashions. Climate change? Religion? Philosophy? Discoveries? Weltgeist? Outside suggestions and fashions? Conquest and assimilation? So I am really interested to know, if you don't think it's Sarah Baartman, why do you think it happened? It's one of the oddest fashions ever.
I sure do miss the olden days😊
So beautiful!!!
1880 was a stunningly beautiful dress. :)
Wasn’t it!
1860s will always rule, just gorgeous fairytale dresses, its just beautiful and special.
Just fabulous!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this. It's so wonderful to be reminded that women actually dressed like this. Yesterday I was at the grocery store and a woman was actually shopping in her bathrobe and slippers.
Depressing times!
Your comment is the best!!! Thank you so much! That is frightful!!😅 sad and true!!😭😂
I like that people have the freedom to wear a bathrobe and slippers if they feel like it, and also 1800s dresses if they feel like it. The more diverse clothing I see when I go out, the more fun! Everyone should be able to dress however they want, feel is comfortable, or think looks pretty!
@@Tuilelen Agreed, but it's depressing that the lack of mainstream popularity for these types of fashions means that it is impossible to buy them pre-made or to find a seamstress who can sew them properly. Your only option is to try learning it yourself, but the time commitment and especially the expense is a big hurdle to actually going through with it
Simply beautiful❤Thank you for bringing this collection of fashion together.
thank you so much for your kind comment and appreciation
Fantastic! What women put themselves through in the Victorian era. Whatever one can say about Chanel, at least she freed women's apparel up.
"Chanel freed women" is just a common myth that attributes to her an incredibly huge influence that she did not have, especially during the period when this "liberation" was taking place. Yes, she is a very talented fashion designer, but she was only one of many who understood that life conditions were changing and "fell into the stream."
Dresses werent actually that restricting. In fact, it was impossible to tightlace corsets until the advent of metal eyelets, as handsewn ones would just tear. Women wouldnt wear torture devices everyday for multiple decades lol. Obviously you couldnt run a triathalon in these large dresses, but weathy women wore large skirts to show their wealth not only for affording that much fabric but showing they didnt have to do any labor that the skirts would interfere with.
Ah, but consider how many people you can avoid when your skirt is 100 miles wide! Pure bliss 😂
@@kittybit711 exactly lol women in the past werent stupid as people like to make out
My favorite is the 1880s because it matches most with the fashion and costumes in the movie Crimson Peak.
I have never seen that movie!! I will have to!!
Thank you for this. My big hobby is genealogical research. I have many old photos of women that date from 1860 to 1900. This video helps me to pinpoint the probable decade that the photo was taken. Very helpful.
Always remember the youngest woman in the photo will probably have the most fashionable dress! Good luck!
Old photos. So jealous. I've had to purchase photos of my Victorian and Edwardian "family" at antique stores. 💚
@@rubysmith8818 At least you have not bought an estate complete with a chapel containing ancestors as Major General Stanley did in "The Pirates of Penzance." He was very proud of his ancestors. Here is the passage.
The General: I come here to humble myself
before the tombs of my ancestors, and to implore their pardon for having brought
dishonour on the family escutcheon.
Frederick: But you forget, sir, you only bought the property a year ago, and the stucco on your baronial castle is scarcely dry.
General: Frederic, in this chapel are ancestors: you cannot deny that. With the estate, I bought the chapel and its contents. I don’t know whose ancestors they were, but I know whose ancestors they are, and I shudder to think that their descendant by
purchase (if I may so describe myself) should have brought disgrace upon what, I have no doubt, was an unstained escutcheon.
@@dorothywillis1 Love it! If I was able to afford it, I might have! 😆. I love my purchased relatives.
I'm sure glad I found your channel. I haven't loving watching your videos the last couple of weeks
You have loved watching them or haven’t haha
1900 the turn OF the century! However all OF those gowns earlier are also beautiful and definitely hard to make! Thk you for sharing your video, I am a can!❤😊
1804, 1808, 1820 fueron mis versiones favoritas, absolutamente bellos!
Interestingly my favourite was the very beginning of the 1800s -white, plain, and simple.
I wish I could have such beautiful gowns!!! My clothes seem so plain by comparison. Thanks for the video!
I wish I could too!! Seems we’d have to get the fabric, make them ourselves or get someone to do it! Then we’d be unstoppable!! ❤️🤌😄
I like big bustles and I can not lie....
Yes I absolutely LOVE that era!
Regency period is also a fav of mine.
I liked the early 1800 mimicking the Roman era the most. How interesting to see the style changes. I feel I learned something new about the fashion evolution during that era. Thank you.
My favorites are the middle and the end of the century. Around 1855-1865 and 1880-1890. Just so gorgeous!!
they sure are!!
1800 to 1810's...the simplicity and comfort. And you are a lot more attractive when you're comfortable....
I adore Regency, Victorian and Edwardian fashion. The dresses and skirts are gorgeous.
I studied apparel design so this is a real treat to see so many lined up like this! Thank u for the free tour! 🎩I love the the ones with ribbon at the bottom that forms a beautiful line like in 1861. The 1863 orange one I love the gold & the neckline & frills. The purple stripes 1870 I almost gasped. Love it! 😸 I like seeing ones that seem unusual compared to how it’s often portrayed in media. I didn’t think they they would have had orange available. 1880 is really cool too I like the pleated column with the draping.
Aw thank you Ms. Jillian for your kind comment!! Yes I agree so fascinating to see the progression and all of the dresses lined up! ❤️⚜️
Love the empire waist , fabulous !
This was perfect. Great paced and educational. Loved it. Ty
The pink one at 1:01 and the black and gold one at 1:05 look like they’d fit just as nicely into the 1910s as the 1810s. Interesting how fashion went full circle in a full 100 years.
I like the 1800s-1820s as well as the 1840s, 1880s, and 1890s. The 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s aren’t much to my taste. I can never decide how I feel about the 1830s.
Definitely got to love the 1800-1820s and the 1910s!! Right, full circle indeed!! Wish it had done the same today!!!
The 1814 dress is my hands down favorite….it’s got the empire waist while still cinching at the hips
Fantastic video! I've always loved the 1810s. I notice that the look basically comes back 100 years later in the Edwardian era.
Aw thank you so much !! Indeed you are right
The stunning and elegant 1842 gown made me murmur, "Wow!"
1864 is my favorite- just love it!
I loved the very first few shown. 1800’s. Just so simplistic and feminine.
I love 1800 to 1820 - and would wear them today if I lived in a cooler area. I also admire Tasha Tudor who wore vintage styles her whole life, making them herself. Live, be happy and forget what others think or say!
The empire dresses were definitely the most flattering shape so the early 1800 decades are my favorite. And remember, it made it's comeback in the hippie days, my own wedding dress was Empire bodiced in 1972.
I love them all
Thank you so much! This was amazing and so thorough. One of your best videos yet! 😊
Thank you so much!!!! So glad you enjoyed!! ✨💕 I really appreciate it
hard to choose, I'd nominate 1810s and 1870s 🥰
This was a really good video! I love the year by year breakdown and how you showed the transitions!
If you can, I would love to see more like this, but maybe focusing on one type of dress, like evening wear or day dresses? Thanks!
Very nicely done. Presented well, articulate and warm perfect speed for visuals as well as audio. Thank you so much.
love all the decates...I saw almost 20 years ago the dresses of Jacky Kennedy in a Washington DC exhibitation...that was very interesting...her style was very unique even it was elegant and somewhat simple...but very beautiful.
Wow I would have loved to have seen that exhibition! 20th century fashion will be in another video! As well as Jackie and Lee’s style and wardrobes!
A lot of the 1840s design concepts look like they could easily fit haute couture now. Absolutely floored.
i love this video!! you explained the fashion trends so well!
Thank you Anna!! Welcome to the channel!!
Puffy sleeves are the cutest ❤️
Any time the sleeves had as much fabric as the skirt is a sure win for me
I love the 1814 dress and would absolutely wear it today
I like best the 1890s. Very elegant in my opinion!
I love the 1860s-1870s the most. I always loved those wide dresses!
I like the Empire series. So classic and still used today.
Loved them all. Thank you for such a detailed narrative, thoroughly enjoyed It!
Thank you for your excellent video. The end of the 1890's had beautiful A-line dresses which were flattering and wearable. We should have stopped there. No need for any more changes in fashion.
Enjoyed the video!!! 😊 Thanks for a great view of history!!!
I honestly love every era! Such beautiful dresses
Wow. Every dress is beautiful. Thank you for this video 🙏🏻🙌❤️
This video was enjoyable to watch! I like the 1810s for how comfortable they appear, but like the natural waist of the early 1830s. Could you do a video on comparative women's styles for the working class? What would have the servants worn who dressed the women who owned these gowns?
1800's & 1810's would be the easiest to make- but you can't sleep on the glamour of the 1870's & '80's (I also like the 1890's- minus the wildest point of the sleeves; I grew up watching 'The Man from Snowy River' series, here in Australia- & I think that was when I first really fell in love with historical costume) - & the 1830's feels like a fever dream, when you pair the dresses with the hairstyles- it was the '80's before the 1980's!
This was very fun to watch! Thanks
I have always loved the Empire style. I like the first decade best with the linen .
The cream & periwinkle pinstriped dress of 1870 is a triumph. It appears to be created by a master. It's very difficult to have striped fabric like that always point symmetrically in layers and for a dress of that volume a LOT of work went into it. It's a masterpiece.
EDIT: 1868! 1872! Omg the deep violet with black stripe! I really adore the 1880's -1890's style wise. I love the switch from huge puffy mutton sleeves to skintight, and the closer fit of the skirts in front and on the sides, with the bustle in the back! Very flattering to a lady's figure.
