First video of this channel ive watched. Im enjoying seeing someone react to a fashion article how i react to modern fashion “trends”. Im with you on ww2 era clothes….i love the practicality. I personally dislike “flowy” things, and intentionally seek out heavy fabrics (i will reject a pair of jeans for not weighing enough/not being stiff enough. I want a TIGHT weave). My personal wardrobe leans…idk, its definitely alt

Lady Izdihar, this video is BASED! I also like how you promote the Stalin period because, though his policies on gayness and abortion were not great while less bad compared to even US policies of gayness and abortion in the same time period (1993 Russia legalized gayness and the US did in 2006 via Lawerence vs Johnson), Stalin had a mostly good approach to practice compared to those who succeeded him (Brezhnev had some good things, but he was not close to Stalin’s foot print).

~ 5 ft tall in American units would be realistic for being underfed or ill during some time in your childhood/adolescence. This means that people are proportionally shorter and wider. Wider ankles, thighs and hips were preferred amongst peasants because they were beneficial to work and childbirth. Russian women generally tend to have bigger breasts as well, and with bulky non-fitted warm clothes that bodyshape looks stocky often. It's also common that a woman's leg above her knee is considerably thinner than below the knee, so the preferable skirt lengths are either longer mini or 7/8. Or well fitted pants.

A good way to dress that bodytype sexy is actually a longer mini skirt, fitting top and heavy boots. A disgrace to that woman from 1952 that's for sure.

It's cold most of the year FR. Low necklines feel really impractical in most articles of clothes most of the year even today with public heating Unless it's a strap dress you wear with a shirt (that were made) or a sundress it doesn't make any sense other than sexuality.

5:05 she's jealous that they don't look like mere objects of men's fancy. Both sides had certain freedoms that the others lacked. The Soviet housewife wasn't as much of a thing, but she could participate in public life. Most wasp women in the US couldn't open their own bank accounts, but they faced minimal government censors & only the social ones policed by their neighbors and enforced by their husbands through corporal punishment

31:00 What I love about this analysis is looking at the historical conclusion to these trends (current Body-Shame and Misogyny), when American women have continued to be demonized for their adherence of the unachievable "modern", while simultaneously castigating Soviet women for trying to innovate their material circumstances forging their modernity.

Also: in the USSR there weren't unrealistically tall/thin beauty standards outside ballet and there was universal suffrage; a lot of women worked, so many impractical fashions didn't make it here. We are shorter, and therefore we are proportionally wider. Thick ankles and thighs used to be the beauty standard amongst peasants.

*16:45** JUST FYI* for those that dont know - this is inspired by Christian Dior’s "New Look" of 1947 which was specifically to move away from the constraints of wartime tailoring and to try and return glamour to post w4r Paris - which it did, and the world it was hugely successful and has never truly gone away [See Maison Margiela Spring 2024 - which you should it is STAGGERING - its the ones wiht the models made up as porcelain dolls]
