  • A lady gets dressed in the fashion of 18th century. She puts on her clothes, with help in a particular order, including, a shift, stays, petticoats, pockets, roll, stockings and garters, gown and stomacher, apron and shoes.
    Read more about this from our curator Pauline Rushton on our blog: blog.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/2...

      I thought the first sewing machine was invented in 1830, which would be after this time period? So how could the stockings be machine knitted? Was there some earlier sewing machine used?

    • @nibnob7
      @nibnob7 Před 7 lety +69

      The contemporary category of 'plus size' is hugely limited and beholden to the arbitrary norms of the fashion industry. Also, you should really tap into some of the gluttony debates of the 18th century and realise that the rich certainly had the funds to indulge in luxuriant eating (particularity when empire made imported luxuries available)

No fathing about with heavy, deep bags that you can't find anything in! HANDS FREE so you can carry shopping easier. Even strappy bags that you wear on your shoulder are a pain. and FYI: Annie Andrews, they did have little pouches as bigs in those days.

I also love how, if you look at it closely, the maids are wearing the same style of clothing as the rich lady, just in simpler, hardier fabrics and simpler in terms of having no ruffles etc. but I just love that everyone had access to the same styles just using what they could afford to make their own versions

      A lot of fast fashion retailers do prioritise money over...y'know, fashion. Whether they're avoiding putting pockets in women's clothes because they want to sell purses or cut down on materials it's annoying. At least some skinny jeans have reasonably-sized pockets in the back.

    Having just watched the male version of this, I wonder how accurate the attitudes of those being dressed might have been. I wonder if more often men were sort of distant and even haughty, whereas perhaps more women--especially younger women--might have been much more friendly with their maidservants. Since women were so much more tied to their houses, and the houses of close family and friends who they would have visited regularly, I wonder if more often they might have more genuine friendships with the female staff in particular. Anyone here more knowledgeable on the topic than I am?

      For upper class people with servants, like in this video, the lady of the house would have her lady's maid and the man of the house would have his valet. These servants at set apart from the other servants of the house because they have a close and personal (seeing them naked/dressing them) relationship with the master/mistress. If you watch Downton Abby, you'll see an example of this. The lady's maid and valet are treated well and differently precisely because they know the personal/private business of the master/mistress and come into such close personal contact with them.

    • @rhythmicelegance4670
      @rhythmicelegance4670 Před 2 lety

      Generally people were raised being taught to make sure the members of the staff didn’t forget their place, so they wouldn’t start taking liberties beyond what was appropriate. Same with many households today. Some people did and do have close relationships with some of the staff, although there still usually exists a boundary, albeit an extended one compared to the rest of staff, that mustn’t be crossed to maintain respect and order.

    • @Chandra614
      @Chandra614 Před 2 lety

      This kind of dressing would be done by a personal lady's maid (for men, a personal valet). This servant would be set apart from the rest precisely because of their close relationship with the mistress. Often times, a lady's maid would be a good friend of her mistress, having served her from the time she was a teenager or young woman. It varied from person to person, but a lady's maid could be her mistress's closest confidant.

      Although it was colder, and it was a lot of layers compared to today's standards, the clothing was made of more natural fibers. This meant that it would be more breathable, if comparing it to today's clothing, as much of modern day fashion uses polyester which has plastic.

She replaces the underwear with a clean pair, and, though it was customary, neglects to put on a bra. She rummages on the floor for anything that may pass as clean, eventually finding a shirt she dislikes, which she wears over a pair of jeans, which are ripped in multiple places, then hurries to the kitchen for coffee."

      holyshiet women's clothing today has *very little* in the way of pockets, because clothing designers think that all women carry purses/handbags. Yet the clothes of yesteryear HAVE pockets provided in the design. It's frustrating that, of all the clothing options that have been lost to time, substantial pockets have almost disappeared from women's clothing- ESPECIALLY for skinnier/smaller sizes.
