  • So for our decades series last year we traveled back through time until the 1960s - so I decided to go back another decade and put together an entire look based on the fashion, hair and makeup trends of the 50s! What do you think of the finished look?
    A big thank you to Kayley Melissa and Gabriela Hernandez for helping us out with our midcentury makeover!

    I see all those people saying in the coments: I wish the 50s style would come back so I could wear those pretty dresses or formal wear. You don't have to wait for these trends to come back! Dress the way you want. I dress in 1950s vintage everyday, trust me, dressing the way you want bursts you with confidence.

      @bluelol4843 Před 2 lety +31

      yeah, the lack of pockets is a very recent thing actually. in the 18th and 19th centuries (speaking about western fashion here), the pockets were large enough that you could fit a hell of a lot of stuff in it. i’m not exaggerating either, sometimes people used their skirt supports in the 18th century (like, when the dresses were extremely wide but not all that thick) as pockets. that’s why they’re called pocket hoops sometimes.

    This was wonderful.
    I was born in the mid-50's. My mother was in her mid-20s then. I remember her in the late-50's "putting herself together" before my father came home.
    I remember the smell of the pancake makeup, being yelled at to be quiet while she tried to draw on her eyebrows and eye-liner. Careful choice of the dress and matching shoes. If they were going out, she always had her gloves and scarf. She finished it all off with "Lily of the Valley" cologne and her rhinestones.
    I thought she was magnificent.
    Thanks for the memories. Mom passed away a decade ago, but my favorite picture of her is a small portrait of her in 1950's high style. All done up like you in this video, but with her rhinestones and a little Mona Lisa smile.

      She does look very beautiful, and while I might be a little partial (I dress in 40's/50's inspired fashion everyday) I do think she looks the best in it. That is sort of part of the 50's look though. Petticoats/girdles/bullet bras were there to help give all women that iconic hourglass shape. Bullet bras helped a flatter chest look full, petticoats gave the illusion of hips to those that didn't have them. By wearing things that make your top and bottom half look bigger, and your middle the smallest, then it helps all figures look like the ideal figure. So the classic new look 50's style really looks great on anyone because the foundation garments help give everyone that shape!

    I think it's so interesting to see how the construction of the dresses reflect the decades they were made in.

    Safiya is one of the few stand out youtubers today. You can tell that actual work and effort go into her video and doesn't just churn out youtube topics that are currently trending for the sake of views. Even if it is a topic that has been tackled by 1000 other youtubers hers will always stand out for being well researched and from her unique point of view. Which seems to be showing a genuine interest and curiosity in the topic. Added to that is Safiya's sense of humour that just makes great content that I always enjoy whether I have an interest in 1950s fashion or not. I don't think you could define Safiya's content as any one thing, like comedy, beauty, sketch, educational, curiosity because her videos are often all these things rolled into one. It's like she has taken the educational and research style of videos and applied it to pop culture and integrated it with her sense of humour.
    I don't know what the point of this is, other than that kind of hard work and originality is so hard to find on youtube these days (even among big youtubers that have been around for years) that I have to call it when I see it.

      Ya'll know when someone compliments your dress and your reaction is just, "It has POCKETS!"? I think that has to be my favorite reaction to a compliment (not "Oh it was on sale" or "It was a gift" or something)

    You knocked this out of the park. And I love that you found a true vintage dress, they’re hard to come by and I wasn’t at all surprised that it fit the period-appropriate undergarments since it was likely designed with them in mind.

    I majored in costume design in college with an emphasis in period fashion. There is a huge difference between actual vintage and vintage reproduction. Stores like Unique Vintage (which is one of my favorite stores to shop at when I need a vintage fix) that sell vintage reproduction fashion make the clothes with modern undergarments in mind so wearing them with a vintage style bullet bra is going to make them fit very weird and look wrong because they don't have the propper darts to accomodate the odd shape. Also the reason bras were that shape wasn't because of missles or anything to do with Freud. Actually it was because the technology at the time was changing because of new materials created fir the war that were now available for designers to use (like synthetic fabrics and certain types of foam used to pad bras). Before that all bras were soft satin cups with no padding. The problem was they were still figuring out how to work with the new materials and didn't yet know how to mold the padding to a natural breast shape so they sewed a seam on the bottom edge and made a cone shape.
