    I'm not exactly a fashion history expert, but yes, women did in fact have pockets, it was necessary, especially for working class. The pockets just weren't built in to one of the first layers of the dress.

    • @AnaGellaOpong
      @AnaGellaOpong Před 5 lety +60

      Yes they did. It was, i think, in the 1900s when a slimmer silhouette was preferred that the pockets got "eliminated" from the dresses.

      Yes. They were basically purses tied to the woman’s waist, and since there were so many ruffles in the skirts and petticoats; the woman would just stick her hand in between the splits and she would have a pocket! If you want more info, look up “getting dressed in the 18th century”

    I love the members of lady like, but I wish someone would have shown them how to function in a hoop skirt. There is a certain way to sit, go to the bathroom, and get through tight spaces. And the functions for these are built into the design of the skirt! They would have had a much better time.
    Also these skirts would have had pockets. They would have had bigger and deeper pockets than men would have had during the same time period.

    • @bethanbaker7066
      @bethanbaker7066 Před 2 lety +1

      Also in older garments they were actually sometimes completely separate pieces that were tied around the waist. My 18th century dress doesn't have them but I don't have the pocket pieces because my petticoat ties at the back with no slits at the side so I wouldn't be able to use them anyway. I do know however that other 18th century petticoat would be tied from the back around the front and then the front around the back leaving slits for the pockets.

    The fashion historian in me is appalled at some of the incorrect historical facts... But it was entertaining to watch.
    Just FYI the first illustrations showcase the formal wear of the french nobility in the XVIII century. For their day to day tasks they wouldn't wear such restrictive clothing, similar in shape, but a bit more comfortable.
    Also, to be fair, literally nobody else in the nation would ever get to wear that. It was only a very small percentage of the population that wore fashionable clothes.
    They got the Victorian part right though. But they did show Queen Elizabeth instead of Queen Victoria. Which is just... Wrong. Like 2 centuries apart from each other wrong. SMH.

    Actually, in the victorian and Georgian periods and before, women had pouches which they tied onto their waists with ribbons or chords over their hoops and petticoats, over which they placed full skirts and overskirts which had slits in the sides for pocket access. The pouches were huge, and significantly larger than modern pockets.

    When women wore corsets and large skirts daily, these corsets were mostly worn for support and were made out of more flexible materials. The skirts also had pockets that were under the skirt fabric but over the hoop. The actual fabric skirt has holes in it that allowed you to access them. It is really fascinating how these women were able to do things while also wearing so many layers.

I wish for once they would actually research all of this. Talk to someone who wears hoops often, like a reenactor. There are plenty of videos on YT that show how to pee (or rather how to sit on a modern toilet and how to hold a chamberpot under a dress, how to get dressed, how to sit, how to ride a horse in a full victorian outfit (ie, skirts, dresses, corsets, chemises, hoops or bustles etc).

    8:56 actually at that point the pockets should still have been tied on underneath the skirt and accessed through slits in the side.

      The big ones for deluxe buffet table hips ("grand panier" meaning "huge basket") were shaped like squashed farthingales and had secrets slits for the pockets you could tie on under them to hide the goods :)

    Keep in mind that you are wearing petticoats. These are primarily undergarments which would be less beautiful. Petticoats mainly provide the silhouette. Women in skirts wore underwear that covered the legs and would have an opening in the crotch women could still readily relieve themselves.
    ON POCKETS
    Like a hidden fanny pack a woman would tie a 'pocket' around their waist. All period skirts that slit on the side to access that pocket. A good way of thinking about this is: Lucy Locket who lost her pocket. The strings around her waist came undone and the pocket fell out of the skirts.

    Actually they didn’t go to the bathroom in holes in the ground, they had little pots called chamber pots which they did there business in, the pot was small enough that a women could hold it under her skirt and do her business. At least that’s what I’ve seen in a video about Elizabethan fashion

      Yes and there were also “toilets” similar to long drop toilets found at campgrounds

      True. Out houses were only introduced in the early 1900s late 1800s

    Hoopskirts don't have pockets because they are underwear, to be fair though the overskirt wouldn't have pockets either. During the late 18th century to mid ish 19th century women would wear small bags called reticules over their petticoats with an opening in the overskirt so they could access it.
