I don't know since when 64 years is almost a century, I was always bad at math sry _____________ My Instagram: bit.ly/2Qo9rrI My nudes: bit.ly/2UHHY6N My merch: bit.ly/2CCq5jE
"Victorian Style" (from what I understand) is like saying "Twentieth Century Style" like... which decade? which group of people? and like... for something that lasted for nearly an entire century, i don't understand how people think "oh yeah, that exact same dress was worn for a hundred years and then all the sudden things started to change every ten years for no particular reason" ....... but then again, I was also guilty of this kind of thinking up until relatively recently sooo....
Uwielbiam Cię, szkoda, że nie nagrywasz po Polsku. Mieszkam w Anglii i mówię biegle po angielsku, także rozumiem Cię bez problemów, ale po Polsku mój mózg mógłby się "zrelaksować " hehe. Jednak słuchając w obcym języku, trzeba się bardzo skupić przynajmniej ja tak mam ☺️, tak czy siak wspaniała robota. Jesteś super a i Twoja uroda jest nieziemska pasuje do klimatu retro ☺️
Allot of the things that are currently made to be "Victorian" always remind me of Romantic Goth and of course Steampunk (especially with the whole corset on the outside).
I get cutting off long hair when sick. Covid was a brief glimpse of that challenge. After weeks of fevers in bed, I had a lot of dreading and now I have enough hair in my brush for a rat.
OMG! I needed this video last week, but found it now. I asked my friend what style of wedding dress she wanted. Her response: Victorian!!!!!!! I was so confused and didn’t want to make her feel badly, so I asked for some pictures of the style she meant: TOTALLY MODERN. So happy I’m not making the gown...no really, I’m not making her gown. I can say I’m remodeling and it’s true.
Part of why it seems like they wore mourning clothes a lot, was because of how long you were required to appear to be in mourning, aka a long ass time. It was also one of the only times people may get their photo taken, when someone died. Thank you Caitlin Doughty, aka ask a mortician!
The problem is that no one knows history unless you're into history. Average people be like, "ok there was like 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s... uhh the world wars and the 20s flapper... then victorian?? and before that is like medieval times idk"
You are the ONLY person that has EVER been able to teach me any kind of History..... Period. The knowledge that you have bestowed on me not only taught me Fashion & Art History but also made me feel good that I could so easily and effortlessly learn about something as complex and complicated as Victorian Fashion as Art ... You make learning fun... .....just saying.
Before I got into fashion history I was one of those people who thought Edwardian was Victorian. I'm not really sure why I believed this? It may have been what people were saying about it.
I feel like people confuse Victorian with Steampunk which are very different. I love steampunk and it is mostly steam technology inspired, hence the name. Steampunk also normally has the corset outside of the clothes. Maybe that’s why people think that’s Victorian
Until Albert - Victoria's husband died, it was quite light, it only became somber after Albert's death. Victoria and Albert had a steamy love life! Oh yes, they had lots of kids and their letters to each other were pretty saucy too. what you are saying about the Industrial Revolution is true. Where I live was the birth place of the cotton industry. Lancashire & Yorkshire are the home of that look. As soon as looms became faster and could be programmed - (yes I said programmed by sample cards) - patterns got mad. But there was so much a two world nation in the UK. We had mega rich, middle class and mostly poor with nothing.
I love the geometric 1860s blue dress - woweeeeeeee. That geometry would be fun to apply to an Edwardian walking suit - which is what I want to make. I love the wearability of the Edwardian era - I feel that elements of this era are a gold mine for us now. When I was (your age) I lived in costume every day - I'm going back to this now at age 65. Yeah -.your group of youthful fashion historians is helping me get in touch with my 70s and 80s self. Love Jennie
I want you to watch Anne with an E (based on the books Anne of Green gables) on Netflix. Pretty sure it's during the Victorian era and the girls talk a bit about fashion at points.
You left out the American West. By definition the Old West was Victorian and followed many of the trends and adapted others to the local environment. People also tend forget that blue jeans were invented in the 1870s. Not really what people think of with Victorian, but blue jeans are in fact lower class Victorian. In the US, anyway, don't know when they hit Europe.
Love these videos, I'm getting really into later 19th century clothing because one of my favourite books may be becoming a TV show and I want to check them on their accuracy 😂 It's so interesting because there are characters who are super fashion conscious and would probably wear like four different gowns in a day
I tried finding Victorian fashion books at my library, and there was like 4 pages of results. When I looked for Edwardian, there was 1 result. Not 1 page...1 result. And it was included with Victorian. Made me sad.
I love 19th century authors like Martha Finley, George MacDonald, Susan Warner, E.D.E.N. Southworth, Isabella "Pansy" Alden. The stories have vague descriptions of dress ("calico print", "brown travel", "black silk"), but your channel makes the scenes in my head come alive! Just expressing my appreciation.
Literally every fashion historian: corsets were typically meant to support the bust/dress, tight lacing wasn't common, they weren't used for the "male gaze" or to oppress women. Feminists: this sign can't stop me because I can't read!
I think it’s ironic that Vogue was founded in 1892... So all the early issues contain primary source information for Victorian and Edwardian fashion... I guess they have forgotten their roots🤣
10:38 Oh, hey Piper de la Prim... Didn't expect to see you here... Got used to your new game model, but your old one still looks great... Even with that red belt that I'm not used to seeing often because of remodel... . . . . . . . (Gosh, whatever I'm doing, I'm always thinking of Brawl Stars...)
So I am an art history nerd and there is one thing that also bugs me in a similar way. Vincent Van Gogh is super famous but he is always depicted as an Expressionist or an Impressionist. He is kinda both but not a good example for either of these eras. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner for example is a much better depiction for an Expressionist. Claude Monet would be a better example for an Impressionist. My piont is Van Gogh is an incredible Artist, so important and famous for good reason but his art is falsely generalized as Expressionisem. It sets false examples just like early Edwardien Fashion does for the Victorien Fashion😅 Feels good to put that out on the internet 🙌🏽
Madam Żebrowska, I have to say that your fashion choice and your knowledge about old fashion is outstanding, you're one of the people that are inspiring me to wear such a beautiful clothes, please continue what you're doing and never give up.
Can you do a review of the nutcracker and the 4 realms it takes place in the 1870s please you’re amazing and I love your videos I’m really interested in your opinion
Love ur videos BTW: in hair style history we Cluster the timelines in early, mid and late Victorian. Heard a lot of costume historians also use that term. But when it comes to hair fashion the victorians didn’t move as quickly as they did with dress volumina... but I think that division is still pretty useful Peace and congrats to ur knowledge🥳
I absolutely love the working women dress from back in that area I just think that it’s very very classic and actually very pretty and that’s what I think of Victoria when I think of the era
When I make clothes I often use historical inspiration not really caring about accuracy, but I always use history fashion plates or portraits or surviving garments as inspiration
I think the two eras that read the most as what I think of as Victorian, or what I recognized as something I’d see outside of this context and call it Victorian, that you mentioned here are 1890s and 1840s
Victorian = Bright Arsenic Florescent Green, yes Arsenic! They actually used poison to on everything and they totally knew Arsenic was a Lethal Poison but how are our descendants going to judge us and the poisons we knowingly put in and on our bodies?
I like the idea of wearing a veil while I’m in grief appeals. Don’t look at my zits and puffy eyes. And yeah, don’t have the energy for laundry, so I’ll wear black to hide that
