- 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.

May I ask, which part of the 18th century is this? Thank you 😊
Can you please tell me exactly which country's heritage dress is this?
Lo la

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?
All about emphasizing a small waist but also puts about 17 layers over it...
ladycerebellum it wasn't really about emphasizing a tiny waist in the18th century. That was more Victorian era.
but at least she had pockets
Angela LaFond yea
ladycerebellum true true
Phantom i love your name and profile picture
7 million layers and she STILL has pockets. A+
aureusyarara literally better than women's jeans
Zoe 7 And still more comfortable for the plus size people.
Thomas Griffin back then food was kinda scarce for those who didn't have money and for the people who did, meals were only at certain times, if there were Any plus size people there would've been a hand full or less of them
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)
Zoe 7 The rich also had the funds to have clothing tailored to their exact size and shape. What exactly is your point??
People in the 21st century:*wearing light clothes because it's burning hot*
People in the 18th century: *"weak"*
Those dresses of the 18th century were actually really cooling in the summer. Especially when they were made from light wool there is also a video about it you should check it out.
Global warming wasnt much of a thing back then either
@@Angel-ug6om global warming actually started to affect the world in like 1980-1985
They were made of natural materials ( cotton, wool, ect.) so they would breath a lot easier than our modern materials.
I can't imagine what it was like for them when having a hot flash! I would have died!
Can we just talk about how gosh darn beautiful the shoes are...
Yeah, I loved that the most
𝓗𝓶𝓶𝓶 𝓸𝓵𝓭 𝓲𝓼 𝓰𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓭
I... actually saw this comment and saw the shoes after so I had to come back to comment.
I own those shoes. The buckles too, but usually I wear a SLIGHTLY simpler style of buckles.
Check out American duchess.
you can get some, I think the company is called American Duchess

"I then removed the 16th layer of her clothes-"

Ts4me Artz ok
Imagine having to remove 16 layers of clothing for a affair
EKDJSJSJS I'M WHEEZING
I'm actually here researching for my new story coz I planned on writing historical fiction but watching this video makes me want to have a second thought 😂
The fact that dresses had "pockets" back then but barely do now has me so salty.
LOL i was thinking the same thing!!
Sparkyisheretoparty IKR
Sparkyisheretoparty Forget about dresses, have you noticed how small the pockets are in women's jeans? I think they do this just so that the hand bags industry won't go out of business.
Sparkyisheretoparty HAMILTON
Sparkyisheretoparty HAMILTON lol I'm watching this to see how to girls got ready in hamilton
For the longest timeI always thought that these dresses were one piece! I had no idea so many layers went into putting one gown together. Just lovely!
How could you look at that and think It would make sense for It be one piece?! 😭🔫
No way. Every time they gained a few kilos do you think they'd buy a whole new dress?
@@Sarawarawara- I guess as a child when you see a pretty “dress”, one just assumes it’s one piece. 🤣
@@FC-hj9ub It makes much more sense now lol 😂
imagine being like
mom: "Suzy you have two minutes to get down here!"
Suzy: "mom, you do realize i have to put 24 layers on right?"
plot twist: mom isn't even finished putting on her dress and is still wearing underwear and eating some sweets🤣
Lmao
@@friendlykiddo5357 yep I agree
Handmaid? I think thats what those are called
I saw a CZcams speed run putting on a period outfit (a bit more day to day, but still all the layers) and I think it was under 6 minutes. Pretty sure it was Prior attire, if you're interested
The only thing i took away from this is that the 18th century understood that women need pockets better than the 21st.
Avrysatos TRUE!!! 😩😩
Avrysatos 19th century*
Class And Grace ohh for some reason I thought this was 1700s. Ignore me. There's no ac in my house and its very hot.
Yeah, I hate that. I'd much rather carry my items on me rather than carry around a handbag! Look at men these days. They carry NOTHING! They just zap shit out of their pockets, easy peeezy! 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.
Avrysatos I use my bra as my pockets. I hate handbags
Imagine them seeing how much clothing we wear today this just make me feel scandalous
showing an ankle was hella scandalous. imagine a boob accidentally slipping. yikess
I can't imagine being a boy and lusting over someone's ankles. That just... Doesn't make any sense nor is it a cause for celebration lmao
I know I am in short shorts and a tee shirt but this is really modest
@Godess Of Beauty i'm sorry----whatgrh. Till what extent? Does the neck down to the stomach not considered a woman's private parts as the ankles were?
@Godess Of Beauty to think about it... Lots of paintings have LOTS of exposed ankles right
imagine a dude looking through that window and being like "HOLY COW I CAN SEE HER SHIFT!"
Lol nooooo I-
Smh such an impolite gentleman

Can you imagine just being like “damn I left my pockets at home”
💕🤣
“Oh my god I lost my pockets! How horrible!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣😅Omg
I thought it was the phone that was left behind, lol!
I always thought it was so dumb that they had people helping them put their clothes on but now I get it
now you just gotta throw on underwear, a tshirt and some shorts!
Underwear? ain't nobody got time for that.
Found the 'going commando' commenter!
duchesswannabe I'm ded
Janie Tyrell lol that's funny
Video shows that gowns have different layers
Me: "barbie lied to me that dress is one piece"
I think none of the Barbie movies were based on 1700s

Yes girls nowadays do take a lotta time to dress up cuz this lady had so much to dress up and she only took 7 minutes.

The straight pins really had me. I guess that was an added reason to walking upright and sitting down very gingerly.
Cynthia Prater I agree.. lolzz
I bet they were no danger to the woman, with all those layers on, but to anyone who got close... 😉
Cynthia Prater she had so many layers on, she wouldn't feel them!
The alternative to the pins was stitching the dress to the undergarments and at the end of the day a lady was cut out of her clothing by her ladies maid.
What did she do if she wanted to go to the toilet???
“It’s a casual party, wear anything”

I'll keep this in mind for when I get my time machine to go to the 18th century
Just imagine getting ready in the morning for school
Dw girls didn't go to school unless they were upperclass.
In general not all kids went to school only the welthy ones could afford it after all.

It's pretty cool these giant gowns had pockets.
I know! And women's clothes nowadays can't seem to have pockets to save their lives!
So true!
Yup, nice place to keep your phone and all heh
take notes, 21st century
Nokia phones last forever!
Can we just take a moment to realize that even 18th century women had pockets in their dresses?
Pretty cool right?
@@nathenewendzel1825 yeah
Yeah...I like the pockets too...its kindda practical for me☺️
and now... women's jeans have fake pockets
Clearly something has gone wrong
Can we just talk about how warm And welcoming the narrator sounds 🥺👉👈
I think the style of corset from this era is one of the most beautiful and flattering corsets ever! It looks so lovely on everybody type I’ve seen it on, I really hope to have one some day. 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
I really want to try wearing something like this some day. The big skirts, the corset, the intricate pretty gown.
Me too
And remember, they had pockets.
It’s all fun and games till you have to take it off.
@@starrycactusx5978 it shouldn't have taken long, especially since it apperently only took around seven minutes to get on. i imagine taking it off would be faster.
These are stays not corsets but I get you
Oh, come on, these intricate dresses can find ways to put in practical pockets, but modern pants and skirt companies can't?
Yet they can fit in Narnia in guys gym shorts pockets
And people ask why women need big purses
today clothes manufacturers are looking to make clothes for the least amount of money. Adding pockets costs money for material and labor. more money for the manufacturer if they sell it without pockets.
So true
Modern fashion companies want to sell shitty, overpriced purses that’ll fall apart in less than a year
England doesn't get too hot in the summer but imagine how uncomfortable those poor Italian women were wearing all of these layers in that heat.
The clothes were made of natural fibres so were very breathable! They would be quite alright
Well this didn’t age well… how horrible was the history-making heatwave, friend?
That's why the buildings were made of cold marble and the travelled away from cities lol
I want try a dress like this. What a gorgeous dress...
And I always thought it was just one big dress 🙈, with the corset
yes, me too
same dude. i'm shook.
Same...*my whole life HAS BEEN A LIE*
omg SAMEEE. !!!
that's only a day dress. the ball gowns are pain in the a**.
How the hell did they take all this off for intimacy lol
Kayda 1319 that's true how????
they didn't or had maids to help them out (and I'd assume that in case of a secret affair, they had to pick the maids that they trusted perhaps and wouldn't gossip?) or just had to wait until night time :))
@Kayda 1319 They didn't wear panties back then so one could just lift up the skirts and petticoats for illicit affairs (this is also how they were able to go to the bathroom without taking off their entire gown)
Anne Glass But what did they do during "that time of the month" with no under garments?
ooh true I wanna know what they did as well.
mother: dear, you can't run, its not very ladylike
the daughter: mom i cant even walk straight
😭😭
Bold of you to assume I can stand up straight with all this shit
Maids did most of the work also lower class also wore similar clothes and did all house hold chores .. it's not at all impossible to work wearing these clothes
Thank you for this wonderful and detailed glimpse behind the curtains! I had no idea there were so many separate pieces.
I thought 2 things watching this:
-on the one hand if they fall in water they are sure to drown
- on the other hand their strip poker game is strong
😂😂😂
I actually thought what happens when the lady menstruates? No knickers to place something in to catch the flow or was some undergarment worn on their time of the month?
@@kimmi2922 someone answered above that they wore some kind of a garment, but I think most importantly once you started having kids, which was pretty young, you just didn't have so much time in between to menstruate.
omg😂 this is the best comment i’ve ever seen

"and finally the mask to protect against covid 19"
Old Mother Riley LMFOA
_”Masks were worn quite often around the world at the time, however in America, the mask grew unpopular with the sheltered and the ignorant.”_
But for me, it's the other way around. I have to wear it as the first layer of total five layers of clothing XX
Not all people can use them tho
Garnet that’s true
i wish these were back in style! they’re so beautiful
If you want, wear it.
You can wear it if you want. Only the top 5% had access to these beautiful clothes.
I love the stockings and the garters. No knickers made me blush a little.
Me: At least they have something we will never have
Friend: What?
Me: Big Pockets
SO. MANY. COMMENTS. ABOUT. HUGE FLIPPIN POCKETS!!!(not a bad thing just saying)
At least ours are sewn into our clothes lol.
Unoriginal my pants are the nice stretchy denim, Faded Glory. I can stuff my whole hand in. Stretched out too. but I do that for warmth generally anyway.
Unoriginal I like skinny jeans. Every mans "skinny" jeans is a frickin tent for me
Ani faded glory. The pockets fit both my hands and they come in all sizes.
"Ugh. Women in the 1700's were so repressed and their clothing was so complicated!"
But...they had pockets.
Fanny packs are the solution!
Or just designing women's clothes around more practical elements, but of course that's too much effort for fast fashion.
@@fruitygarlic3601 Well, I would think it would be difficult to sell purses when functional pockets are an option. Personally I was thinking some sort of saddlebag set up. Like pockets, but hanging outside the clothing.
@@112steinway That's kind of similar to what I was saying with the fanny pack trend. It's died down a little bit, but I can still see it persisting later on because of the practicality.
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.
@@fruitygarlic3601 the issue is that they look ridiculous. Practical? Certainly, but like I can't imagine wearing one
@@minimooster7258 What? Do you mean fanny packs? They were a trend item a little while ago, so there are a lot of affordable ones that are designed to look halfway decent; some of them are pretty cute.
This was so accurate. Thank you very much for this video. Now I finally understand how to put a stomacher where it should be. And I was very surprised when you were explaining those pockets which I haven't even heard about :)

Lynn Shallue 🤣😂😂😂
took me a minute
I have made a gown just like this but with a sweet white cotton fabric with pink and blue flowers on it and I bought enough to make the skirt along with two different dress styles, one that fastens up the center front with hooks and the other being more like the one in the video but instead of pins to secure it, the stomacher fastened over with hooks and bars on both sides of the robe, hidden by ruffles.
Meanwhile me taking a whole hour to just dress a bra and a dress
😂😂
🤣🤣yes fact
i seriously thought it was just a dress and a ton of stuff underneath. not a bunch of puzzle pieces.

Got that right🤨
If time travelers brought these people comfy sweatpants and hoodies, that's what they would be dying to quickly get home to wear. 😄 Imagine if they had modern comfy flip flops? Ha ha!
It would be really interesting to see how the maids get dressed too. So we can see the differences!

Thank you!

MsZeldasaga oh that's cool! They both have great videos about historical fashion.
Francine Kloh They had to get up super early and dress each other.
Sooo, if someone from that era would see us now, she'd think we're all walking around in our underwear :)
Daisy van Brakel - Molenaar lol
Well, considering women wear pants... I think layers would be the least of the things to be offended about.
No, I don't think she would. I think she'd realise that fashions have changed. The only thing that might shock her is the universal free-flowing hair of today. For a woman of her time, going out and about with loose hair was the same as going out in your underwear today...
aren't some of us? i see girls wearing denim panties and leather bras in public so...
Well looking at some men and especially women: They are indeed running around in their underwear! Or at least it doesn't cover much more than that

Absolutely stunning!
So so pretty
Even the women's clothes 200 years ago had pockets! Why don't we?
What?
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.
SuperWhoLocked Browncoat: That's one reason I wear pants, because most of them have pockets. Women shouldn't carry their whole world in their purses because what if someone snatches it. I always carry my keys in my pocket and some money so if my purse gets stolen they can't go rob my house while I'm stranded with no way to drive home and no money.
sexism
(no seriously, people were afraid that if you gave women pockets they'd carry weapons--which they did! When they were fighting for equality) (also, it made women dependent on carrying bags, which could/can easily be taken from them)
that's why I want to learn to stitch my own clothes
If women then could have decent pockets WHY CANT WE.
why don't you make yourself a set, can't be all that hard, you might start a new fad.
Kathy Brinkman I got jeans the other day. NO POCKETS. I mean at least us women have purses
i mean, in our defense, at least our pockets don't have the risk of falling off-
It’s actually a calculated decision made by the fashion industries to make more money. If women’s clothes have smaller pockets, we need something else to carry our things. Thus, the purse. Manufacturers make pockets smaller on purpose so we’re forced to buy more bags. Honestly, you’re better off sewing your own pocket into your leggings or altering a pair of men’s trousers to your taste.
Kelsey Rink well... why do we buy those clothes? If no one bought them while demanding bigger pockets then they'd be forced to get their heads out of their butts and listen. Just now I googled "big pocket women's jeans" www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=big+pocket+jeans+for+women they exist. Many styles. Stop buying clothes that don't work for you.
Makes me enjoy my undershirts more and more, corsets I can't breath at the thought.
The linen shift sounds cozy.
I love this especially the shiny stuff
Whenever I watched Disney princesses nd barbie shows in my childhood, I always thought they wore a single piece of long frock🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♀️

Just when you think she's done, there's another layer
hey waddup wood
It's now clear why a lady's maid was an absolute necessity
Kristen Wood I swear I feel uncomfortable because all of the layers
Kristen Wood wow this is weird. Nice last name you have there
its like a video game, when you defeat what you think is last boss and then there is extra stage beyond
Me when I have to go out:
Aight let's go **grabs hoodie** **grabs sweats** dresses while running from the bed to the door of my room🏃🏃
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?
I was wondering just this. Without any knowledge on the matter but with some knowledge on general human being stuff, this is the type of thing that might've varied widely depending on the individual. Although the whole "treat everyone as your equal" is a fairly recent thing, I assume that the need for connection would prevail on some instances.
They got dressed like this every day. Their minds were probably on 50 million other things while all this layering was going on.
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.
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.
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.
Ladies in 18th century be like
Girl 1: let's go out for a drink
Girl 2: sure, give me 5 hours
It's 10 minutes though.
Edu Ragu haha true😂😂😂
Nah, she got maids to do that, so it'll less than 10 minutes
The video had maids and it was 7 minutes which had cuts in parts of it. If you include make-up, hair do, undressing what you already had, getting the dress prepared for wearing... I will say half an hour.
It takes me 30 minutes to tie a shoe. How you guys do it?
So that whole “you dropped your pocket” joke in grade school actually was a real thing?!
Fuuccckkk🤣🤣🤣
I LAUGHED WAY TO HARD AT THAT

I remember reading something about this and apparently it's indecent for them to show anything above their ankle so I just imagined the guys like
"Hey bro.. Guess what? "
"What"
"I saw a chicks ankle today-"
"BRO--"
Hahahahaahahahahahaahahah
Ankles weren’t indecent since many working class women would have skirts just at it above the ankles to avoid them getting dirty during manual work and would also raise their skirts to use them to hold items
Marble Taco thats cool, I didn’t know that (I’m not trying to be sarcastic )
I mean, it's the same thing with muslim but ey- guy ain't gonna talk about it since they know they're gonna get slap if they told their friend lol
Thanks for this video! Perfect information to help me with the book I am writing!
back then: 5000 layers for modesty
today: bra and skirt.
Back then, the more fabric you could afford, the richer you were. It wasn't just a matter of modesty if you wore many layers
Manuela Esse yes but back then, modesty was all girls were about. if they didn’t have modesty, no one would take them seriously
@Kingston Geraed no undies back then!! 😉 lift the skirts and voila 😂
dont you use panties?
@@manuela_esse 😂😂😂
Pockets!! Even during the 18th century they understood the importance of pockets.
Detraya Gilliard The females back then had so many layers they could sew little pockets in each one which made them great spies in the civil war

YOUR USERNAME AND PROFILE PICTURE
Idk why these videos make me feel so calm
I love how “dresses” and “gowns” for a huge chunk of history were really just separate pieces that matched and looked to be one cohesive garment!
3000 years from now they'll be showing how the woman dressed now.
"They used to carry around bags, that could be carried on the arm, as woman were not allowed pockets."
Emma Leach 😂😂😂😂😂🤣
😂😂😂
you just made my day
I just woke my husband up at 11pm while in bed....laughing hysterically and saying “ oh to have a bloody pocket big enough!” It’s okay, he’s drowsy and is looking at me like I’m insane 🤣🤣🤣
sorry pockets are dumb
Correction: How Rich People Got Dressed in the 18th Century
Karley Strang not that different from how the middle and lower classes got dressed.
Karley Strang ahh me too
Well most poor people had to do this all by themselves.. If that's what you mean. Though less opulent, the layers and garments were very similar.
😂😂😂 I was just thinking the same thing
They was riched and now we are poor
This looks super pretty.
Beautiful blue color!
“It’s going to be a bit cold wear like a long shirt or something”
My mom dressing me like:
Same
The thing is, they didn’t need to bundle up the way we do because the corsets (or what ever they called them here) kept the woman’s core body warmer. Plus with all those layers of skirts, they only really needed a small sweater for the arms
So cool i love
Goddamn, even with those dresses they still had better pockets than we have in women's pants today.
@@maymay5259 ya mean fanny packs?
End Creeper well, fanny packs are great alternatives, but I’m talking about these hidden pockets 🤙🤙
remingtomi jeggings have fake pockets.... i hate life. Lmaooooo
Beautiful dress.
THEY HAVE POCKETS WHY CANT WE
We sacrificed our pockets for the right to vote
Teresa Ngo because of fking purses which im not a fan of & dont own one. Pockets & a mini backpack for water bottle & homemade lunch/snacks. Purses are useless for me - they are an easier target for thieves than mini backpacks 😂😂😂😂
Teresa Ngo no pockets are a conspiracy of the fashion industry to get us to buy more purses 😂😂 haha
Actually, most of the dresses I wear have pockets that are at least big enough to fit my phone and my keys. Something that can't be said of any of my pants.
I am currently wearing a pair of trousers with six (6) decorative pockets (yes, six)
Let me just remind you of my SIX (6) 'POCKETS'
I guess that 200 years from now there will be a video about how we used to get dressed in this era.
Idk... i suppose internet will still be a thing in the future so they can see it on "historical" videos on yt
"The average girl awoke at noon, usually exclaiming 'FUCK! I DID IT AGAIN!' after a glance at the clock. She stands, quickly removing her sweat pants, tank top, and underwear. 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."
Literally a 30 second video 😂😂
TheStepmonkey it’s probably going to be like a minute and 2 hour vid with some girl putting on makeup and putting on clothes 🤷🏽♀️😂
Exactly what I was thinking
She actually looks stunningly beautiful.
I'm kinda thankful to see a video that refers to stays in the correct term and not just calling it a corset
HOW DO THEY EVEN PEE WITH A BUNCH OF LAYERS HELD IN HANDS !!!!
Archie Archie ....thats a very very good question
Archie Archie . good question.why I never thought of it
das the point of no underwear... later on in the early 20th century there would be a hole in the back of the "underwear" to go to the loo
Archie Archie hmmm
Good question
I cant imagine still being cold with all those layers--
Also
THEY GET POCKETS--
SUCH BIG ONES LMAO AND WE CAN DETACH THEM WHEN WE WANT TO WOW
This blue is very beautiful
Well since they're in Europe it must've still been fucking cold
I'm confused as to how they reach their pocket tho all those layers to lift would be so annoying
@@kaylee4401 There are slits in the gown so they can reach the pockets. There's basically a hole in the gown so they can reach it
easier, if you basically didn't watch the vid.
Glad im not the only hamilton fan here.
Anyone else been a fan since 2015?
Beautiful dresses ..
