[EN] just another weirdo obsessed with the past. vintage style and fashion history geek, appreciator of old things in general. [PL] historia mody, styl vintage, filmy i starocie. opowiadam o tym, co dawniej i pokazuję to, co dziś z tego zostało.
“That’s Edwardian not Victorian” poor Edward never could get out of his mama’s shadow. There’s the Elizabethan, Georgian, regency, Victorian, and Edwardian ages; The big question I have is what is queen Elizabeth II’s age?
Crinolines was how they got the puffy dress look. Petticoats I don't remember. Poodle skirts, bobbie socks, saddle oxfords and tight cardigan sweaters-- that's the iconic look of a young woman of the 50s. At least, that's what I remember.
It's quite the ultimatum. On the one hand, I am quite a fan of historical accuracy in media. It really shows that they put that extra bit of effort into their work. On the other hand though, I am also a pretty big fan of boobs.
okay, I am surprised - because I have seen documentaries from real historians saying that the corsets did cause many women to faint, or feel weak.. and that it was one reason behind the idea of 'dainty damsel' who easily fainted at every turn..
Hollywood casting directors and Madison Avenue (Mad Men) caused those insecurities - actresses and models have narrower noses and narrower bodies than the average Caucasian woman and bigger breasts than the average Caucasian woman. We have been led by the nose by the entertainment/advertising media for centuries to hate being anything but a curated set of not-average (therefore, not normal in the statistical sense) external features.
Animals reacting to bad air he described sounds like geological activity kind of stuff! like volcanoes venting gas kinda makes sense that it would be linked with disease when you don't know what's causing either
I don’t recall if there were corset showing scenes in Somewhere in Time, but they did call out the Christopher Reeves character for being dressed in the wrong fashion for the year.
I like where this video is coming from... just for the record, people accumulate body fat differently. After I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 29 I started to pile on body fat that actually began to accumulate in my breasts, butt and thighs before places like my arms, back and face. It was frustrating to me that people who had seen me for the first time in a long while wished I would "admit I had work done". I have no problem with cosmetic procedures, I have just never had one.
This is me the first time I arrived in California's famous surf city of Huntington Beach from the tropics. Maroon 5: " 'Cause girl you're hotter than a Southern California day" . Me: LIES
I suppose wearing anything connected more closely to femininity (including vintage) makes the nice men act more nice and the creepy men act more creepy. It's not on you though, it's ON THEM and their bias towards femininity, either a positive or negative one. I've never worn actual vintage, but I ONCE in my life put on calf-long high-heel shoes as opposed to sneakers and all sort of flat sole sportswear I've worn for my entire life and continue to do so in my late 30's and am never going to give up (nothing trashy, just black and velvety, nothing shiny or anything especially catching attention, and just moderately high heels that still alter the way you need to walk in to actually progress and not look like the Hunchback of Notre Damme). I've gotten let through first ON ALL CROSSINGS, IN ALL DOORS etc. like NO PROBLEMO. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. I'd defo do it again if those damn heels weren't giving such hell to my ankle joints, my foots' soles, my calf muscles and my lower back.
I feel like nowadays there is also a trend of not tanning because more and more people are now getting interested in skincare. I kinda expect this trend to grow in popularity over the next few years.
It's very sad that individual men being their individual selves is seen as an attack on all of humanity to some people. And these view-points are coming from people who pretend to be all about freedom lol
Def agree about the Sundays. Hats are def still status symbols in some circles today for Christian denominations like Baptist or Evangelical. Or random events in the US like the Kentucky Derby where you almost come for the hat fashion & drinks.
I'm all over ridiculous outfits in fictional fantasy media, why the heck not! But historical affects what people think it was actually like, so make it as accurate as you can. I realise dramatisation is required to make it not boring every day nothing happens.
I just bought my first corset! I am very happy and I can’t wait to get it and wear it. Thanks to watching a lot of historical dress stuff, I know the general way to wear corsets when starting out and I will be doing more research! Thank you for helping me to realise what I want to wear.
One of my favorites weeks at the retirement facility where I work is valentine's day because we have people put up their wedding photos in the dining hall. The dresses are amazing, simple and timeless and so many of them are handmade heirlooms. The key to making that work though is the styles are kept simple and honored... My mom REALLY wanted me to use her dress but 1) the 80's 2) I am a giant while she is a twig. It wasn't going to happen
So what you're saying is pig farmers were scooping poop in imitation Gucci and my boss won't even let me wear a skirt to inspect merchandise and put it in boxes.
I mean. The cold hard truth is that most people wont notice and sexy sells better. Movies are made to make money. Historical accuracy if relevant is always just a tool and not a requirement.
To sum up queen's speech: do whatever you want and what feels good TO YOU and NOT what is demanded by current trends that will be gone in the next era (or decade, or year...). This is actually super important video also for people who just can't get a tan - me and many of my friends just get sunburnt and not tanned in the summer and it is super important to be able to tune out all these comments about you looking like "walking dead" person. I mean - I was born like that and I just look like a vampire all year long. Do I mind? No. Do I think it's actually freaking cool? Yeah... Do I think that people, who can get themselves a tan, look cool too? Sure, they do... We are just "differently cool" and that is it. No comments about my thighs looking like cheese are needed here. I am fine like that... Besides - why should that even be a problem? :D
Stop talking about feminine and masculine fashion and maybe people would stop feeling awkard for using what society screams at them "it's not for you".
My younger sister started boobjobs in 2002 when she was 19. Meanwhile she changed her chin and jawline, uses botox and lipfillers, dyes her hair, takes pills and gets treatments for bigger hair, gets her brows done, doing workouts etc. It all sounds so exhausting to me. I'm just always celebrating myself, with my cup A boobs and 5'1 feet and 97 pounds, my unique body, never ever worked out, have random people cut my hair every 6 months or so, never change or dye it. No beauty procedures whatsoever. The only thing I did was picking my eyebrows when smaller eyebrows were a thing. I don't use instagram of tiktok just facebook and I block everyone who is 'showing off' their fakeness on there. I'm neary 41 now (while it feels I was 21 only the day before yesterday) life really goes by too fast to worry about this bullshit indeed. Just BE yourself, people only care about their own looks not about yours anyway.
hey! I just wanted to tell you how huge of a help your videos are... I'm currently writing a book but it's not exactly set very recently, and I had my own suspicions about the corset myth 😂
Nicole Randolph Is a BRdesk or that can also help you with the time period in which corsets were made so if you need examples in a much easier way to get the corset time period Right of course only for historically accurate purposes and even the names
SO SAD BUT TRUE! FACT! we have had VERY similar meetings on history films and documentaries. Thank you for representing ACCURACY & FACTUAL HISTORY! Peace & Health.
