Fashion Expert Fact Checks The Princess and The Frog's Costumes | Glamour - Zábava
1920s fashion be like "what is a waist?"
The narrowest part of my body is my hipline anyway
Sea Shell lol
ikr😂
Also 1920’s fashion: “Long hair!? EEUUW.”
I would fit right in I am a rectangular twig lol
You finally got an expert, so you can now redo all this 100-years of videos
Ikr
athena lasagna oop
Check out Karolina Zebrowska she does a good job debunking those videos.
and I oop-
shakethatbo omg yeah I love her
I love tiana's clothes in her restaurant opening. It looks fabulous
Mykasan yes!!! That’s the one I was hoping she’d get to 😭
Mykasan I like how the biscuits look like or whatever they are like yum
Zunrt They’re callee beignets. They’re insanely good. If you are ever in Louisiana you should try them.
Mare’a Johnson Yeah beignets are sooo good!
Mykasan yes
If we’re doing Disney, I suggest Mulan!
Yes
YES
Yess that would be great! Mulan is based on an actual story with historical account like many other Disney movies, and Disney got like everything wrong like many other movies. Should have her hair up, a different style of dress and make up etc.
Omg yes
Yessss
Even if it's not accurate, I still really like Tiana's dress.
Same
Yes!!!!!
yea
That's the point. It's made to be attractive to your (modern) tastes and sensibilities of this era.
Same
What about when the Shadow Man shows her her dream and she's in full 1920's glam?, with the loose white dress and short hair.
tru
U got a point
I knoww righttt
That's the most accurate they got
There's no need to fic
Why in heck is the scratching sound so much louder than the ladies voice???
Kathryn Shaw I believe it’s a writing sound effect
@@ExtendoCrescendo It's still loud
I know it's like nails on a chalkboard idk if I can get through the video
I don’t think it’s so deep , everyone complains about anything in the comment section 🤦🏽♀️
ms Gates I didn’t. Couldn’t take it.
I wish she had talked more about the dress Tiana wears at the restaurant at the end of the film. Apparently, and judging by the photo references in this video, it's probably the most accurate outfit in the film.
Mariana Garcia honestly I wish they’d talked about a lot more of her outfits cause as the lady mentioned the dress they did talk about had about 15 seconds of screen time.
I know right! Why not talk about the accurate one too? Also the blue one too the waist was on the right place though
The line: “I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down” makes sense now!
And all that jazz
Wait is this a Chicago reference
Madison Smith yep
Hannah Wilson I put tanner on my knees
Madison Smith it’s a New Orleans reference
"Would be achieved by the use of a hot comb"
Almost every black woman in America:*wartime flashbacks*
Mone Luve “hold ya ear!” 😰👂🏾🔥
" i didnt burn you, its steam"
Mone Luve 😂
RomeoLover2 😭 y’ALL THE FLASHBACKS
My grandma does hair, she still uses them
Small critic...Not all women in the 1920 cut their hair short. Some kept their long hair and used a process of finger waves, braids and pin tucks to give the illusion of short hair.
Chrissy R I think looking at the character of Tiana herself as well it still makes sense that her hair isn’t short because she worked so much that she wouldn’t have had time to style it properly anyway.
Although she said most. I think they were going for a "typical" style, even if of course some people may dressed differently.
@@LittleCindyLouWho That's what I was thinking as well. Tiana also wasn't a very vain character so keeping her hair fashionably short & styled likely was something she didn't give much of a hoot about! I'm sure her BFF Charlotte (who did have one of those fashionable short hairstyles) likely called her out on that a few times in a friendly manner but Tiana likely just gave her the brush-off.
Also, we see in her dream restaurant scene she has a bob so it’s clear that she likes the idea of being fashionable, it’s just not always practical for her.
please employ a better fashion illustrator. Many can be found at Instagram. Thank you. But overall the fashion historian is great
For real though
I AGREE!!!
100% agreed
@Sarah not jealous at all. The art is quite eh. For me it's quite STIFF
Sarah Jealous cards are pathetic and makes you sound arrogant and ignorant.
with so much popularity around this series, i think a better artist for the princess drawings is necessary
Yeah. The anatomy and coloring can be better.
We need a concept artist. Or a designer atleast
Please please please hire a better artist. One that can use more than one base body sketch. It's really hindering the quality of the video.
I think the main problems are the lineart and anatomy. They're a big company and should be able to hire a professional artist. The drawings look like they were made in ms paint
THANK YOU!!!! My main problem with it is that it looks wayyy too stiff.
we came to see what the 'accurate' look would be but it looks so lazily drawn
AMEN
Why are you watching this if you only do is hating the artist
No shade no tea but...
Get a new artist
Yeah tiana looks scary here
Its not meant to be pretty, its all about the technical accuracies of the fashion not how well it can be drawn.
@@Pinkstars1605 but still...
The entire video looks professional and polished,but then the bad drawings set off the mood.🐳🐋
@@Pinkstars1605 but if the body isnt drawn technically well, that tells the audience that we cant really trust the illustration of the important details. Which is what the whole video is about
The drawing could be pretty and technically correct but it's only technically correct I agree they could be a bit better drawn tho
Couldn’t you have hired a better artist to do the drawings though?
The drawings are pretty good, at least they're clear. I see what you mean though.
@@belleyelena7720 the only problem is the anatomy
Belle Yelena they’re really not that good. Stiff pose, weird anatomy, flat looking fabrics- it just doesn’t look professional. It’s ok art, but the rest of the video looks so much more polished that the difference in quality is kinda jarring.
It’s alright but it reminds me of salad fingers and throws me off a bit
Ikr
does the marker sound effect make anyone else cringe really bad? ugh i hate that
Katie Kendall it sounds like a dry Crayola marker
I AGREE!!!
High pitch sharpie on cardboard.... ughhhhh
Katie Kendall exactly omg I was just thinking that
Yes
Tiana doesn't have time to be a fashion icon! She's busy saving for her restaurant 💪😎
No, she'd had bought her clothes at a store, and they'd have been in the fashionable style - not high fashion, but still with a dropped waist etc. That's how fashion works, it affects everyone to some degree.
Sarah W she's broke let her be 😂
@@sArnoldsdotter Not everyone is privileged enough to buy new fashionable clothes, you know :/
But everything you do buy - even second hand - will be affected by fashion. You may not notice it now, but look back in twenty years and you'll say "that was soo 2010's!". It's the same when you look at pictures of working class people in the 1920's - they're clearly not high fashion, but the general look is there.
@@sArnoldsdotter Thrift stores don't really have trendy clothing. They contain clothes nobody wants anymore- so having a couple decades old clothing isn't uncommon.
Please get a new artist, I feel as though it’d really enhance the quality of these videos
Josh Graham I agree
Kinda
Geez, imagine how horrible the artist must feel reading these comments.
Alli ` i know right i feel so bad, they're just trying to do their job
Actually they paid the artist to draw like this it’s not the artist just glamour
I love this fashion expert review disney's outfits vids, please do this more!!
wigconic I love your profile pic
wigconic I love your profile pic as well
Lily-Rose Guerin same lol
@wigconic - They critique live-action period films as well.
I wanna see Mulan next cause she's probably the oldest princess timeline wise
I want Mulan next too, but i think the oldest one timeline wise is Jasmine, living in years BC, while Mulan is around the VI Century AD or something like that.
@Max Robert Oh thats interesting. I thought it was a pre-islamic arab country.
Lucas E nope it’s Iraq 🇮🇶
Lucas E
He literally says 'praise Allah' in the film.
What about Megara?
Oh my god please stop with the scratchy sounds
Sarah Marques I agree😂😂😂
I actually enjoy it xD
@@corneliang7371 SAME THO
The noise of the “marker” is terrible. Makes my teeth tingle.
Yessss it’s like nails on a chalkboard
4:32
HOTCOMB
I had so many Vietnam flashbacks when she said that.
The horror of all the older black girls with nappy/natural hair, flashback to those times…
Me to
😬😬😬😬😬😰😰😰😰🤕
UndeducatedTrash my family used it all of the time (I’m 14) and I never trusted anyone after an accident and I shook all the time. I always got my forehead burned when they did my edges
Some explain please?
That hot comb haunts my dreams even until today, and I'm 21 😱
SAME
My mom and I have the same scar on our foreheads because of that demon tool. 😠
i love that they did princess and the frog in a cartoon and not in 3D animation. it just suits the vibe of the roaring 20s so much better. i couldn’t imagine it in CGI
i love this series that you do 🙌🏼😍 please do tangled next!!
Ariel Alena ahhh I love Tangled
Omg my favorite movie! Yeah they definitely should!😍
@Max Robert 18 the century Germany I think
Rapunzel is a German story so I said Germany. Also the tv series shows some German influences in clothing. Also it is undoubtedly Europe cz they HV italy nearby n Eugene has been there as a thief
@Max Robert oh don't go by hot air balloon. The series even had robot type of thing called atomaton n they were called very ancient technology 😂
They did a better job in this one. Yes is the 1920's but specifically 1926. You can see this detail on the Big Daddy La Bouff newspaper on the first musical number. What it kills me on this movie is the fashion BEFORE the 20's. They are no wearing any edwardian fashion at all when tiana is a little girl.
It might have to do with their income and sensibly
Her family and neighborhood was broke
Disney probably didn't pay attention to it and based the film around a 1920s aesthetic entirely.
@@megg2826 not at all. They based the entire movie on the 1920's aestetics. Baby tiana's dress was a 1920's low waist line dress already. And her fathers ilustration where he wrotes "Tiana's Place" is an Art Deco style. Imposible at that early time
@@AbBeiBei526 not even the La Bouffs were in a Edwardian Style. They based the entire movie on the 1920's aestetics.
Tiana’s yellow dress has a more 50s vibe. Dior’s New Look silhouette and Victorian fashion seems to be a big influence on her daywear and her princess dress respectively.
On the song “Almost There” here hair was accurate
I don't think we should judge her wedding dress or whatever it's supposed to be. It is magical and appeared out of nowhere. It's literal fantasy. You should've talked about the dress she wears in the end of the movie. Good video anyway :)
I love this woman. In the frozen video she had a snowflake broach and this one A FROG?! Gurlll you killin' it
She be having broaches for all occasions lol
Ponytails didn’t even exist yet, not really. The closest thing would’ve been braids.
The hair Tiana has in 'Almost There' is really accurate!
"they got everything right but this one small detail" ,,,
voice over girl: *scribbles in anger* "ITS ALL WROOOONNGGGGG"
Hahah, that’s what I thought!
Thank you for comfortably calling her BLACK 😭 cause it’s not that deep
Binta Diallo 😂 for real they are scared
Yeah I always felt Tiana’s look was more 40s than 20s, while everyone else looked accurate
So even in her fashion she was ahead of her time?
@@nerdy-kat1293 OMG I hope that was intentional because its brilliant
@@nerdy-kat1293 yes :)
Where’s tianas blue gown?
It's a costume. Therefore, it does not count.
@@BabsChannel Tho, Costumes were so much different in1920's aswell.. i would loved to that she have explained how was a propper "Mardigrass Princess" Look
please do merida
Yes!!!
Yes that'd be awesome!!!
I appreciate these videos, but a good artist would make them even better.
I thought her dress was supposed to represent a lillypad?
Jennifer Shephard it does
@Kate you neve-
i’m in love w how much detail is shown and mentioned in this video. editing, perfectly understandable, audio great, narration perfect
They still wore corsets in the 1920's they just functioned a bit like girdles. You can even see them in the mail order catalogs only 20 seconds later!
Although I am not entirely sure I think there was a decrease in use in the 40s because there was less supplies for clothing
"The fantasy dress is not accurate" Well, of course not! It's a FANTASY gown. It's not made to be historically accurate, unlike all her other outfits. I thought that was kind of unfair to compare as in "they did it wrong", they didnt do it wrong, they just did a different thing
Not gonna lie I actually would've preferred disney do a more accurate evening gown it has so much character compared to their run of a mill princess dress
Is this taking note of the fact that black and white fashions were very different? America was still segregated in the nineteen twenties, and because of this many lived in poverty.
Extremely good point since we're talking about accuracy!
That was something I was going to point out. Tiana’s family is really poor. They could barely make a proper gumbo. As such Tiana’s fashion wouldn’t be as up to par as others who had it a bit more easier. This also explains why her hair is still long. She can’t afford to cut it. Especially since she’s saving money for her own restaurant so she can’t be bothered to get it styled and of course the fact that Tiana isn’t really one with current trends as she backs out of going dancing to earn more money for her restaurant.
Not to mention that after all this would have been the big stock market crash and the beginning of the great depression. Tiana's restaurant would be shut down a few years later because of this
Immediately “all that jazz” came to my mind when she was talking about the stockings. “I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down...and all that jazz!”
I feel like this movie is so underrated, this and Brave are my favorites 😩💛
Preach!!!!
Please do the most important and most questioned one ever: Jasmine. PLEASE. Quickly. Thank you.
Jasmine would be the possibly least accurate
I love the outfit the expert is wearing. So freaking pretty on her.
her: hot comb
me: **black ptsd**
Thank you for remembering that this beautiful movie exists! Disney always leaves The Princess and the Frog out of everything for obvious reasons...
This is easily my favourite series on CZcams. They're so well researched, pleasantly laid out, narrated and explained, and INTERESTING. I can't wait for more!
This is such a cool series I’d love to see more of
Dm
Everything is really interesting... But that drawing look really weird and it feels wrong. Maybe you should make someone else do it
Melissa Martinez Hernandez I feel like they didn’t hire an actual artist instead someone on the team said “ I can draw outfits” and then went with it
@@moonlight_oats - Or the producer's kid does them.
The expert's speech is interesting, but then I'm distracted by the drawing that looks like someone's 13 year old kid got a hold of a tablet for the first time.
I just wanna know where they found all these pictures of black women in history^ I need access to that database lol
Sha・Ne・Ru google. Search for black women 1920s and you’ll get a wide array of photos. You can also do it for the victorian and Edwardian era.
@Sha・Ne・Ru - They give the source credits at the end of each video.
Can we see an Anastasia episode?
Crazy Kitten not Disney
Fun fact, Anastasia and Princess and the Frog both happen in 1926 (see the newspaper Rasputin reads after Anya & her grandmother are reunited). So this video holds up, even if it would be nice to check the differences between Russian, Parisian & American 20's
@@thelovelydianne9678 - So what? They have analysed a number of live-action period films, too, and they aren't made by Disney. Why be so restrictive?
I know straightened hair was popular back then but I like Tiana having naturally curly hair.
You're not really black until you've experienced a hot comb or being burned by a hot comb
I’m pretty sure even in colonial African countries in that day women weren’t torturing themselves with that. So, nope, it’s not a proof of blackness in any way. Americans seem to think world consists only of America.
Margarita M. Dude it’s a joke, we know not every black person has to go through the exact same things we’ve been through
@@margaritam.9118 you took this too seriously dude
Raja ...I remember my hair straightening day was Sunday afternoons!!! I also remember some of my classmates with those hot comb burns on their forehead or ear with Vaseline smeared on them!!! 😂🤣😂
Please, make more of this videos!! this are so much fun!! I love fashion history
Can we do one for Anatasia!?I love that film and the clothes!
You should do Anastasia
Yes pleasseeeee
I think they're just doing Disney films
scifirocks Anastasia IS Disney now though 😂
scifirocks it is a Disney film
The sound of the pen triggered me so hard
More like pencil
Samson Ansah yeah
My goooooood! Me toooooo it irks meee... PLSSSSS STOP WITH THE MARKER SOUND GLAMOUR!
Samson Ansah no it’s more like a marker and I hate it so much
I love these! No drama, No politics, just interesting facts about fashion and history!
I love how each video Raissa Bretaña wears an outfit that fits the movie or series she is reviewing
Why didn’t you do her outfit when she opened her restaurant!?!?! That’s the best one!!!!!
I think the silver costume dress at the beginning of the movie is more iconic, and it's even on the cover art
Yes to the highlighting of Black female beauty pioneers! 💕
Okay, now CINDERELLA OMGGGGG
Could you guys do Merida?
You cant fasion expert Ariel. Heheheh
Except you can lol
You can... just look into how mermaids were drawn or stuff...
Lmao now seeing those comments you can cause she wears 4 different oufits.. so you can
She wears at least three different dresses on land
you can though... there's 3 looks that i can think of at the top of my head
You can though, she had atleast worn dresses.
the tiana sketch makes me cry inside pUT HER CLOSED ARMS AWAY WE NEED TO SEE THE GARMENT-
please get a better artist to draw the princesses.
Can we get more of these videos please? Preferably with Raissa and with a focus on black fashion or period fashion for POC
LOVE this. Thank you! I have always been in love with the way 1920's fashion incorporated art deco details. Her princess dress in the film is not period accurate, but it seems to match the prince's post-frog look. Is his outfit period accurate? Just curious.
Awesome historical details! One thing: Tiana's day dress was probably a restaurant-issued uniform, so it might be more likely to have the higher waist rather than a fashionable drop waist.
It's also super interesting to me that the background characters' costumes seem a lot more accurate to the time period in this movie, but I guess Disney couldn't bring itself to make a princess without a *snatched* waist... oh well. Still my favorite princess movie.
2:10 Some context to the "I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down" line in Chicago's All That Jazz
I love when you do videos of this kind with her
The Princess and the Frog assessment. Very cool.
Because I've left sour comments on other episodes in this series, I feel obliged to say that I really enjoyed and appreciated this one!!!
This series is the best!!! Moreeee pleaaaase!
i honestly don’t understand the hate towards the artist the drawings look fine
Anania Wills i dont think you have an understanding of lines: the art is way too stiff and it’s very hard to really see the body
LUNAH They really are not well done lol
I was expecting the blue gown
I really love this fashion historian and all of these videos and that I am learning something!!
i like how in these videos (and this one especially) you can tell what disney's thought process was about the clothes. the daily outfit is pretty accurate but with the traditional disney silhouette, fancy/ magic clothes are fantasy
It looks like they drew the illustrations in IbisPaintX
Love this series! I would love to see one with Disney Princes !!!
I want a video on how one becomes a fashion historian and what kinds of jobs fashion historians do.
her pins..they're so...PERFECT FOR EACH THEME!!!!!
it's possible that Disney decided to go for a waist cut, circle skirt cut to fit Tiana into the princess franchise. She has to have that princess silhouette. The restaurant dress and the Almost There dress is the closest they got to 1920s aesthetic
Wait, just because short hair was popular doesn’t mean that she’d have it either. Lol
women with long hair would wear it up to create a faux bob, some even cut the front to get the full effect... the ponytail wouldn't have happened
Tiana didn’t even have time for dancing, she really didn’t have time for a hot comb 😂
I’m laughing so hard at the hot comb. I’m a 90s baby And my mom still used the hot comb lol Stove and all 
I used to HATE when my mom would use a hot comb on my hair! Go to school smelling like you survived a fire. 🔥🤣
@BlackPiano - Ha! .^_^.
These are my favourite video that you do
One of my favorite princesses, next to Mulan and Cinderella. I say one favorites because I can't choose between them.
You can actually find out what year it is in the movie when they pan over the newspaper and it says 1926
Whoever drew the art, please don’t listen to the haters! Please continue to draw & evolve, you are doing an exceptional job! 👏🏼 I actually find the art style quite charming 😊
Nah we don’t care about people’s feelings here
I hope you can do the Pirates of the Caribbean series
Keep this series going, I love it 😍
Her dress when she opened her restraunts at the end of the movie her hair was styled in 1920s and 1920s dress
