I watched the live action Cinderella before I got interested in vintage clothing and hairstyles and I watched it again recently which ended up in me see that ~70% of whatever they put as the clothing and hairstyles were just plain wrong for a Cinderella movie set in that time.
I actually was the assistant stylist on the second video you showed. We did have all vintage gowns from Helen Uffner in NYC! I agree with you though. I was just the assistant. All i did was steam and prep the garments.
I'm so glad you made this video. I really like historical fashion, but im by no means an expert. So, when I watched those videos, something always looked sort of...off to me. I'm glad to know that I'm not just crazy.
The same thing with 99% of "informative" videos on youtube. If you are new to the topic you are happy, if you have like _average_ level of knowledge on the topic - you are going to be on the fence. If you are into this much, it's endless frustration.
Actually, it might not be too hard to find a few ladies still alive and with it enough who lived through most of those decades and let them laugh their asses off at some of those videos. My own grandmother lived to be 96 and was very sharp until a few years before she died. Seems to me "fashion" has always been about continuously working to make the "average" woman think she's not quite smart enough, not quite pretty enough and really couldn't manage to function quite as well without whatever is being pushed by the media/elite? And not just "fashion," come to think of it.
my biggest pet peeve with these videos is that there’s SO many types of fashion and groups of people that dressed and still dress differently because fashion is a way people express themselves. so when they only show the rich which lady styles it’s like... well what about everyone else?
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and live for Jesus as He died for you! Trust God!! 🥰✨
I'm so interested in your videos and I love to find out the facts and history behind clothing! I toured in a museum in a basement and in this poorly lit display they had royalty dresses from each decade and it was my fav floor of the museum. I wish I remembered which museum it was! Anyways just you to know I like planning decade themed dinner nights with my bf and I think I'm gonna make sure everything is even more accurate for our next one!
How do people get 1990s fashion wrong? I kind of understand getting costumes wrong if they were 100+ years ago, because then you are going off of photographs and pop culture, but the 90s???? Most (not all, but most) adults working now were ALIVE in the 90s. A sizable majority of people working now were ADULTS in the 90s. ???? How?
"An original dress from the era" feels like such a weird comment when someone is talking about the 1980's. Those dresses are far from lost at this point couldn't they just go to a thrift store?
I love your video and most of your reactions, but as to hats, don't you think that regardless of the era/prevailing fashion, different women would have worn them differently depending on their face shape/hairstyle/whether or not they were having a bad hair day that day? Thinking of the pill box hat that you discussed.
I recently did no more than fifteen minutes worth of research into 1920s fashion and even with that tiny bit of knowledge I could see how bad the 20s dresses were in these videos!
You want accuracy. It's not too much to ask! History can't be changed. But you're probably right these videos are for entertainment & promotional purposes. You are right, if ever I hear someone say '.... the good old days' I say 'the good old days were never today'. Times were tough in the 20's. Times were uncertain in the 30's. Things were getting better in the 50's. But things aren't much better for women.
I've always loved antique and vintage fashion for a number of reasons. I love the fabrics, the cut and style of the fashion but I also have a real affection for the craftsmanship of the outfits and the fine often over looked details. I'm an avid wearer of hats and gloves often to much people's amusement but who cares. I love it and am fortunate enough to have friends that dress up too 😊
Probably that a taste for drama motivate the appetance for this kind of video. But there is something that is pretty convenient too. Comparing failed reconstitution of vintage fashion with exemple of picture of the corresponding Era is convenient for illustrating some details in fashion that can be overlook or less memorable. This kind of video seems to be a good idea from an educational viewpoint, and from an attentional view point too because it's entertaining. It's for these two reason I love to see video of this :)
A random, subtle running thread in Agatha Christie's novels are the comments on hat fashions. Since her works span a large section of the 20th century, it is kinda fun to see how hats (and general fashion) are described over time. One memorable description says that the latest rage is for hats shaped like an upside-down plate, stuck at various angles on the head depending on the current style.
I love this kind of videos because is not just roasting, is teaching. I have some characters from the era and I have NO idea how to dress them, so is good to have a video like this with an actual professional explaining (plus, you are hilarious :D).
I feel like Cut could have done so much more with this series. If they had made it clear they were doing the more upper-class, high-fashion, and then made a separate video about the more every-day, lower class styles. It could have been a great way to show the difference between class divides but instead they made a bunch of 100 years videos as fast they could to cash in on the trend and then stopped when it stopped bring in the money. Wasted potential galore
You hit the nail in the head. They have fashion/makeup people who are modenly-trained and don't undersatand the styles. THey just see a picture and interpret it.
I love your videos, I was raised by my Grandmother and Her Mother, and goggeled over Thousands of Old Kodak Prints they too 1910- 1949 when I was born. I also loved Antique Gibson Girl lithographs Chas: Dana Gabson, I collevted and sold them, I was a Tattoo Artist in 1970's and made 'Flash" with my Gibson Girl sketches. So after all that preamble Yes you are 100% correct: my Granny said so. Mary!
I’m a theater costumer, I work at a high school and middle school. We’ve done a number of period shows with the high schoolers, and they love the research and seeing what was historically correct. I hang hair and makeup inspiration around the dressing room, I share research boards before I show my sketches. I’ve had so many great conversations about parting hair and burying Bobby pins! So the sort of target audience age range for these videos can care about historical accuracy, and do! It shows such a lack of faith in the curiosity and varied interest of their audience when allure or cut or whoever moderns up everything.
You can't say "no one wore eyeliner in the 40s" as you show Betty Grable wearing top lid eyeliner. They did. Streetwise, probably not so much. It was most often pencil. Using the same one they used to darken their brows. Everyday wear was mostly red lipstick, perhaps a cheek rouge (a little lip stick dabbed on) and powder. In the movies, they did. False eyelashes also darkened the upper lash line. The 80s and 90s fashion, shoes and hair were accurate.
Prostitutes, actresses and dancers are always the exception. Remember that. (At least I have noticed that from my dabble in fashion and makeup history.) Also the poor.
What surprises me the most, is that Vogue still sells an extensive catalogue of patterns that date back to the 1910’s. You’d THINK that they’d pull from those archives and MAKE a dress for each decade that’s actually suitable and reference actual pattern and fashion plates rather than film and television representations which are nostalgic and not accurate. Hell.... go to any goodwill and you can find bins of patterns from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. I was born in ‘82 and what ALWAYS annoys me is when these people cover the 90’s.... The average person wasn’t on the Versace runway. They were wearing LA Looks tops, Swatch watches, and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, with their Saucony sneakers (with the laces rolled up like little pigs tails instead of tied)..... while carrying their makeup in a kaboodle
This is like when I, as a graphic designer, looks at some flyer that a bad designer did. Like, "I see what you were going for, but you've totally missed the mark because you don't have the eye for details or maybe you're just too lazy to get it right. Why would you use that artwork??? Why are all your measurements so weird??? Why do you think using Times New Roman (polyester) for everything is okay?!!" In other words, I love this and please never stop making videos
I love this. I hate those videos...but I love them. I go to town in the comments. It’s how to get me revved up for a rant, without making me implode from anxiety (unlike politics, yeah, I’m watching this the first week of 2021....anything to get the ignorant comments from Trumpers out of my head...aside from a gun.)
