Probably the 20s through the 40s, except for those shoulder pads

[@phenylethylanamine]

1850-1869, love those excessively humongous skirts, without the puffy sleeves tho

[@artistsingerwriterproducer8288]

I have no year, I like the beauty

[@annaolivarez2578]

The years before the sewing machine because all of those outfits were hand sewn. I find it just amazing (!!) that the Seamstress had the dexterity to make such fine sewing details. Very simply: make a pattern, buy the fabric and make the outfit fit to the tee! Yet, it wasn’t so simple, it took an imaginative mind to dream and put the idea on paper, then one had to seek out where to buy the fabric (surely it wasn’t a few minutes drive to a major retailer), and then hand sew each and every stitch using a needle. I like to know how Scarlett O’Hara stored her dresses. The closets had to be huge! : )

[@SIMKINYX]

The first decade. Second best is the 1860-1865.

[@myliamag.6512]

1814 and 1815 somewhat look like the fashion around 1910! Amazing to see how fashion comes back, even in that era!

[@CulturedElegance]

Very true very true!! 💓💕

[@lissi6931]

I noticed that too! The rosy one looked like the Titanic era tea-evening dress style as well!

[@George-rg8fj]

Completely agree with you

[@jakecavendish3470]

Yes they revived it around 1910, and also revived the late Georgian style in interiors, furniture, book binding and silver at the same time

[@reenougle]

I was saying the exact same thing to myself!!!

[@joanfreestone1707]

I love the simplicity of the 1810s. They are so pretty and also look comfortable to wear.

I just want one of them 😍

[@fuzzybunny4386]

Many are so similar to what they sell now in stores, like the 1810 but way shorter 😅

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Like a big nightshirt.

[@agnespn3670]

I could not shake myself from Scarlet Ohara's barbacoa green gown and all of Empress Sissi's ensembles. I grew up admiring those above all, and at my wedding, I decided to go with that style, regardless of how unflattering it might look or how unpopular it was. It made me feel magnificent, and since then I have been wearing my dress again a few times while I was alone at the house. Crazy? Yes! But it makes me feel magnificent every time! :)

[@annika5893]

One other movie with gorgeous period dresses is The Age of Innocence.

[@pickle6846]

I am so happy to hear that. Many things in life it is important to do right by others, but when it comes to a gorgeous gown - you gotta do right by yourself and your taste! And I think it's spectacular that you can still enjoy the dress even after it's pinnacle moment.

[@agnespn3670]

@@pickle6846 Thanks! :)

[@crptnite]

i mean, if i ever got to get married in a fancy wedding dress that i will never have the occasion to wear again, i would do the same thing... i'd probably also go as a "zombie bride" for Halloween every year too 🤣💯 Gotta get your money's worth somehow 🤷🏽

[@ariannasv22]

Well, you did pay for the dress, may as well put it to good use!

[@fandomonium3789]

Easily the 1860s was the loveliest. It's clear to me that the "stock fairytale princess" dress shape is heavily inspired by 1860s. The stereotypical gowns usually have that bell shape and the ornamentation. I'm sure some of the designs also come from kirtle gowns as well, but the 1860s is clearly in the mix as well.

[@ariadne0w1]

Nicole Rudolph has a video on that

[@crptnite]

The 1860s was apparently also when the "badonkadonk" was invented... Who needs a Brazilian butt lift when you can just build one into your dress design? Fascinating...

Puffed sleeves make me think of Anne of Green Gables and Anne's desire for a dress with puffed sleeves. I think I like every era except for the 30's and 90's.

[@monmothma3358]

I've always loved the 1840s style. It may have been "modest", but the silhouette is so flattering! The 1890s or early 1900s (Edwardian) are close seconds.

[@justindustar4171]

I always loved the fashion of the 1860s-1880s. The epitome of Victorian fashion

[@Arielle1Celeste]

The Regency era is my favourite. Soft & feminine. I like the shorter stays. They were like really supportive bras.

[@almutphilipp4057]

I like all dresses, but mostly those from 1800 to 1810. They look so natural and I love the beginning of the century also in music, poetry and arts. Very interesting video!

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you Almut! Welcome to the channel!! I agree with you! A lovely time it was

[@OlgaSmirnova1]

Same here, just thought how uncomfortable to be dressed all day 😢

[@anamariaevans8421]

The dresses of the 1800s look really comfortable and there's something really refreshing in their simplicity. That said, I've always had a soft spot for the large mid-century skirts. I should mention I grew up watching Gone with the Wind, as well as the Sissi trilogy with Romy Schneider. A feast for the eyes!

[@jillianmaloney3798]

Agreed!

[@dinazina55]

They look comfortable? Really? To me they look many things, but comfortable isn't one of them, as the mid-century dresses would never fit or hang right without a tight corset and layers of crinoline and horsehair underneath. On the other hand the early years of the century, the "empire" style freed women from corsetry, finally, after centuries. But then...they had to squeeze back into the corsets for nearly another century.

[@nadiapavlidou8611]

@@dinazina55 you obviously didn't understand what I said. I meant the early-century dresses were comfortable, not the mid-century ones.

[@Michaelneiss]

My favourites are the Regency fashions. They seem so refined, elegant and comfortable at once.

[@CulturedElegance]

I think you make an excellent case!!⚜️

[@mimamo]

The 1860s dresses are the most beautiful and romantic and what you imagine today when you think about a princess ball gown.

[@veronicafullford1697]

I do like the Regency classical dresses but the 1880 dropped bustle with the form fitting bodice is my favourite. So elegant. Thank you for showing this - much better than going through the fashion books.

[@xquisite7791]

The 1880s is my favorite decade for dresses. I love that the gowns are tightly fitted and flat in front with the bustle at the back. I also love be the beautiful colors, fabric and ornamentation.

[@monicacall7532]

Give me Empire/Regency styles every time. The clean, classical look is gorgeous especially when complete to the rest of the century and it’s excesses of bizarrely big sleeves, hoop skirts and bustles. Why did women give up the ease of 1800-1820 for increasingly restrictive clothes and undergarments?

[@debefeldman]

Indeed Monica. I too love the empire styles.

[@mlcarver1739]

Because men did not want them to be able to be more independent and think for themselves and start to participate in Civic and public life. Keeping them as decorations was another way of oppressing them and controlling them.

[@nancyrhm2094]

​@@mlcarver1739 Yep.

[@bluebellsonority563]

I have read somewhere that a big hoopskirt was actually some form of empowerment because the bigger the hoop, the bigger your personal space.

[@impagain]

I LOVED this video!! I'd love to see more like this, with other fashions, or men's fashions from the same Era. This is such a cool progression! It would also be cool to see a time-lapse of all these dresses lined up so you can see the ballooning and shrinking of skirts and sleeves

[@CulturedElegance]

Very true!! Sounds good!! I’m so glad you enjoyed

[@Wee_Catalyst]

[@AmandaSilva-if6zi]

The 1860's ones are absolutely gorgeous

[@highpsi11]

Fashion is designed to make people feel insecure unless they buy whatever is new and trendy. Some designers just come out and say that directly. So fashion has to keep changing so that people will keep spending money on the new trend, and then that trend goes out, time goes by and it comes back in again. Except for codpieces, you rarely see them : )

[@victoriapavan5275]

Every time I fall in love with a 19th century dress it's always from the 1860s. Such an elegant decade for fashion despite political turmoil.

[@sarafstop32]

It looks as though the costume designers of the BBC/PBS series Sanditon did a good job with the 1820s. I always think of the accuracy of the 1850s when I see Bette Davis in Jezebel. The costume designs of the Civil War era and afterwards are beautifully accurate in Gone With the Wind. Coming back to TV, a beautiful job of the late 1860s to early 1870s costuming is done in Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman. Especially beautiful are the segments done in Boston and DC! You can tell the designers had fun pulling out all the stops. It looks as though costume designers throughout the history of movies and TV have done their homework. There are just too many to mention.

[@CulturedElegance]

Sanditon was a very enjoyable show!! Love Gone With The Wind!! Very very true

[@Rosiecrossley1]

Early 19th century for me very simplistic and elegant

[@grace52775]

I've shamelessly watched this video several times. I'm absolutely floored at how beautiful these dresses are! I'm absolutely mesmerized!

[@jetplane_18]

I like how it starts off with the beautiful airy cottons and immediately the century takes a left turn with the satin silk taffetas with the crazy tulle trims and hanging thingie and all the colors. I love the ruffle monsters you picked for 1853 and 1862 but I wouldn't mind skipping all the way to 1880 lol. Shoutout to the 1842 sample -- I love the color and the detail on the neckline and how simple-but-thoroughly-intricate the skirt looks

[@cryptocatherine6103]

1860s for me is the era of grand dresses and my fave. In particular, the 1864 dress is somewhat similar to Queen Victoria's wedding dress which I adore. 😍

Excellent points!! Such a beautiful and exuberant time for women’s fashion!

[@bitch8205]

I love the 1830's dresses. They look like something for dolls, especially the adorable bonnets :)

[@CulturedElegance]

Very true

[@kck9742]

That's my LEAST favorite decade of 1800s fashion... and yes, that was the intended effect -- to make women look like dolls. And the bonnets were akin to horse blinkers, limiting peripheral sight.

I loved this video! It was wonderful to see the progression/style/shapes/fabric of fashion through the years . Especially for the year of 1873 which is the year our home was built. I have often wondered what the fashion of the day was for that period. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@dorothywillis1]

@@rubysmith8818 At least you have not bought an estate complete with a chapel containing ancestors as Major General Stanley did in "The Pirates of Penzance." He was very proud of his ancestors. Here is the passage. The General: I come here to humble myself before the tombs of my ancestors, and to implore their pardon for having brought dishonour on the family escutcheon. Frederick: But you forget, sir, you only bought the property a year ago, and the stucco on your baronial castle is scarcely dry. General: Frederic, in this chapel are ancestors: you cannot deny that. With the estate, I bought the chapel and its contents. I don’t know whose ancestors they were, but I know whose ancestors they are, and I shudder to think that their descendant by purchase (if I may so describe myself) should have brought disgrace upon what, I have no doubt, was an unstained escutcheon.

[@mkphilly]

Fantastic! What women put themselves through in the Victorian era. Whatever one can say about Chanel, at least she freed women's apparel up.

[@Olga_Ovechkina]

"Chanel freed women" is just a common myth that attributes to her an incredibly huge influence that she did not have, especially during the period when this "liberation" was taking place. Yes, she is a very talented fashion designer, but she was only one of many who understood that life conditions were changing and "fell into the stream."

[@kittybit711]

Dresses werent actually that restricting. In fact, it was impossible to tightlace corsets until the advent of metal eyelets, as handsewn ones would just tear. Women wouldnt wear torture devices everyday for multiple decades lol. Obviously you couldnt run a triathalon in these large dresses, but weathy women wore large skirts to show their wealth not only for affording that much fabric but showing they didnt have to do any labor that the skirts would interfere with.

Wonderful video. Lots of research went into this. So interesting to see how fashion goes and then comes back and then goes.... Lesson to be learned in today's world, if you really love an outfit and it looks good on you, wear it proudly!!!

[@pamelaschutz1248]

The only style I haven't really liked in this century was the back-bustle c.1880s onwards. I like the Princess style. My favourite has always been the 1840s through to about mid 1860s, and this video only reinforces that preference! It's probably why my favourite couture period of the last century is 1950s. I think the bustle was attempting to emulate Sarah Baartman, the Khoisan woman being paraded in London at that time. I actually cannot imagine how awkward it must have been trying to sit down with a bustle on, particularly the shelf-type variety. Now you need to do another of these, WITH THE HATS, SHAWLS, PARASOLS, etc. Thank you very much. Greetings form South Africa.

[@rustyshadeofred]

The idea that the Bustle was inspired by Sarah Baartman is a complete myth. Mrs Baartman was brought to London in 1810 and died in 1815, 60 years before the bustle ever came into fashion. I don't know where this misconception arose, but is so easily disproven to the point of being laughable.

[@pamelaschutz1248]

@@rustyshadeofred , ok, you definitely have me by dates then! What do you think inspired the back bustle? The Elizabethan stomacher can be explained by needing to hide pregnancies, whether legitimate or otherwise, from an eccentric old Queen; the 1700s paniers probably exaggerate the hips to suggest ease of childbirth and fecundity; the bell skirts are simply a fancification of many petticoats (which, besides adding warmth, also prove wealth, like jewelry), but to what can we possibly ascribe the back-bustle? The tightness across the front hampers walking (let alone running) far more than a multitude of petticoats ever could, let alone a crinoline or farthingale (which probably seemed like a blessed release to the women who were relieved of the excessive weight of many starch-stiffened petticoats); and the back? Whatever for? You can't even sit properly - have to perch on the very edge of a chair! Mind you, they (the men and some nurses, that is) were out here fighting the Anglo-Boer Wars at about the time of the back bustle. Trying to annex our gold and diamonds, that is. Gold, actually, by that time. They already had the diamonds by that time. Maybe they were reminded about Sarah Baartman. Maybe not. Just after dear Lord Kitchener had done with slaughtering a whole bunch of people in Khartoum, they sent him here. Very kind. It also fascinates me that at just the time that British do-gooders and Missionaries were in China passionately fighting the foot-binding of upper-class Chinese women as barbaric and cruel, the corset in Britain and Europe was so tight as to be close to severing a woman's kidneys; and the back-bustle was hampering her running just as effectively as a hobble around a horse's ankles, or the bound-feet of the Chinese they were champing at the bit about. Human beings are just so very odd sometimes. I'm not attacking you, Rusty Red Man. I'm just always very interested to try and work out why fashions turn the way they do at certain times. Male and female fashions, and children's fashions. Climate change? Religion? Philosophy? Discoveries? Weltgeist? Outside suggestions and fashions? Conquest and assimilation? So I am really interested to know, if you don't think it's Sarah Baartman, why do you think it happened? It's one of the oddest fashions ever.

I like that people have the freedom to wear a bathrobe and slippers if they feel like it, and also 1800s dresses if they feel like it. The more diverse clothing I see when I go out, the more fun! Everyone should be able to dress however they want, feel is comfortable, or think looks pretty!

[@raerohan4241]

​@@Tuilelen Agreed, but it's depressing that the lack of mainstream popularity for these types of fashions means that it is impossible to buy them pre-made or to find a seamstress who can sew them properly. Your only option is to try learning it yourself, but the time commitment and especially the expense is a big hurdle to actually going through with it

[@karenschunk2192]

The entire compilation is exquisite. I utterly adore the 1887 French Blue and yellow dress with a fur collar. I could not choose a favorite decade, all are lovely. A woman should wear whatever flatters her and brings her joy. I love bustles and hoop skirts but they look extremely inconvenient. I am not sure how the ladies traveled around wearing them. There are restaurants in the southern US that include beautiful ladies 'lounges' along with restrooms. They include settees and couches, ornamental wallpaper, gilded mirrors and attendants. I almost wonder if women of certain decades arrived to events decently but partially 'dressed', if that makes any sense. Then completed their attire in the lady's lounge. Kind of like being a member of a wedding party. One generally dresses, or completes dressing at the destination. No one wants to horse and buggy or walk through filthy streets in opulent attire.

[@jillianmaloney3798]

I studied apparel design so this is a real treat to see so many lined up like this! Thank u for the free tour! 🎩I love the the ones with ribbon at the bottom that forms a beautiful line like in 1861. The 1863 orange one I love the gold & the neckline & frills. The purple stripes 1870 I almost gasped. Love it! 😸 I like seeing ones that seem unusual compared to how it’s often portrayed in media.

love all the decates...I saw almost 20 years ago the dresses of Jacky Kennedy in a Washington DC exhibitation...that was very interesting...her style was very unique even it was elegant and somewhat simple...but very beautiful.

Wow I would have loved to have seen that exhibition! 20th century fashion will be in another video! As well as Jackie and Lee’s style and wardrobes!

1900 the turn OF the century! However all OF those gowns earlier are also beautiful and definitely hard to make! Thk you for sharing your video, I am a can!❤😊

Hard to pick a favorite. This was a great find for me.

this is so helpful! I have a few old photos and oil paintings of family members from the 19th century and I was having a hard time dating them in order to identify the family member. Best 7 minutes on KZbin ever! thank you!

My mother would have loved this video. She adored fashion as well as history. She was glued to the TV when Style with Elsa Klensch came on.

Wonderful presentation, very interesting. 🙂

[@ClarisseRockinThatBow]

I wish I could have such beautiful gowns!!! My clothes seem so plain by comparison. Thanks for the video!

[@CulturedElegance]

I wish I could too!! Seems we’d have to get the fabric, make them ourselves or get someone to do it! Then we’d be unstoppable!! ❤️🤌😄

[@fluffybirdy7720]

Thank you for this wonderful video. 1870 ❤

[@PrincessHVHHDSSS]

1880s puffed sleeves, are just gorgeous. I love a bit of volume. The gowns are all beautiful.

[@MrSalinas35]

Thank you. This is a beautiful video.

[@kck9742]

Fantastic video! I've always loved the 1810s. I notice that the look basically comes back 100 years later in the Edwardian era.

[@CulturedElegance]

Aw thank you so much !! Indeed you are right

[@dragnflei]

I like the 1810s with the empire waists and simpler lines although I admit to a fascination for the craziness of 1820-30s dress hairstyles!

[@kimpritchard4322]

1880 was a stunningly beautiful dress. :)

[@CulturedElegance]

Wasn’t it!

[@Molli2324]

I love the 1860s-1870s the most. I always loved those wide dresses!

[@diannes3804]

Wonderful video! Thank you!

[@commonsense246]

The empire dresses were definitely the most flattering shape so the early 1800 decades are my favorite. And remember, it made it's comeback in the hippie days, my own wedding dress was Empire bodiced in 1972.

[@sandybeach123]

The stunning and elegant 1842 gown made me murmur, "Wow!"

[@ftbleditz5826]

I am in love with the 1814 one!

[@colemarie9262]

This is incredible!
