Love the Regency/Empire period from around 1795-1820. The silhouette for women was elegant but not over the top, hairstyles were less ornamental. The men's attire with the waist coats, breeches, boots, cravats looked beautiful as well.

Louis XIV!!!

The story of Charles Worth would be interesting!

[@maryrudy4046]

Read "Banners of Silk", it's a novelized version of his life n career.

[@annesalami]

My favorite decades would have to be 1850s, 1860s and 1890s. Especially 1890s, I just love those sleeves

[@williamkazak469]

Amazing video. The pictures are marvelous. Thank you for this discussion.

[@LaTourdePeilz1814]

Love your videos! Where did you find those paintings with the amazing dresses?

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you so so much!! When I was talking about a certain decade I would search for example: 1810s fashion, 1810s dresses, or 1810s portraits. I got a lot of images from Wikipedia commons, Pinterest and simply google images 🥰❤️ hope this helps

[@pennywright1507]

Thanks for a wonderful video about fashion of this time! I feel like you need a little outro for your video, maybe “thanks for watching.” It seems like the ending is abrupt 😁

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you!!! Great idea!!!! 💖🤗

[@dannybeun948]

Très très chic 👌

[@catherinelee3298]

Love your channel. Wasn’t crinoline extremely flammable? These dresses are gorgeous.

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you so much!!! Yes some of them were because they were made from horse hair and cotton or linen!! Very tragic!! Aren’t they beautiful!! Which decade is your favorite??

[@catherinelee3298]

I often wonder what these woman would think of us running around in our joggers and t-shirts….

[@tymanung6382]

Shock? An approximation could be their reactions to seeing minimal clothing styles from tropical regions.

[@danielclaeys7598]

Affordability wasn't a bad problem. The average price of a Worth day dress was 13 dollars, evening around 20 to 30. Full fur coats, about 100 dollars. This was a time of no income taxes and millionaires. Changing clothes 5 to 12 times a day wasn't a money issue for the wealthy, so the clothing became an expression of wealth just as the home interiors. To compare, for those who built the rocking chairs, a store bought dress from the dry goods store could be had for 89 cents, 3 dollars for a fancy church going type.

[@mtngrl5859]

Yes, but for reference a lady's maid maid around 50 pounds for all year, a governess made 100 pounds/year. A man who worked in the gold mines made $5/week and that was considered really good money back then.

[@mtngrl5859]

So, that $13 dress was equivalent to over 90% of one's income for the month.

[@irisheyesofbelfast]

"Affordability wasn't a bad problem???" Do you know what period we're talking about??? What good did it do that a dress could be bought for 89 cents, when people worked for pennies a day?????

[@danielclaeys7598]

@@irisheyesofbelfast We are talking about affordability for the wealthy that were making millions.

Victorian women must have found the crinoline dresses attractive as they wore them for over a decade. They were very attractive, but very cumbersome to move in a confined space (railway carriage, cab or in the house). In particular they were a fire hazard. A spark or flame from an open fire would usually cause the wearer to burn to death. Perhaps this was one reason that the play of the skirt at the front was reduced during the 1860s, leading on to the first bustle stage, the princess stage and second more pronounced bustle stage. Provided you wore your corsets (you were improperly dresses without your corset) it must have been fun to promenade in the park on Sundays. And the evening gowns, were gorgeous. Being a rich woman in the Victorian period must have been delightful in terms of fun with fashions. Medicine, make-up and hygiene were totally different issues, yet to be resolved.

[@carag2567]

6:40....is anyone able to identify the dress on the right? It appears to be the back of a dress that appeared a minute or so earlier. I GASPED OUT LOUD WHEN I SAW THE BACK 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@AnnGSaint]

What was cost of the dresses?

[@contentcreator89371]

Rich.

[@cynthiavanteylingen7922]

When watching dress style videos and realizing pocahontas 2 which is set during james 1 reign crenolins werent invented yet so she was wearing an 1850 dress lol.

[@djahant]

I feel like the dresses were high to the neck and sleeves so that the ladies would not show tanning because of their upper class status. I just wonder even with an "umbrella" they may still get slightly tanned and that's the reason for the white face paint they used that contained lead. Not good. I think women must not have ate very much food at all to carry off these designs. But that was before in the modern world all the poison in our food. I could go on but I love your videos!!

[@stefaniapilotto7165]

I love more dress'XIX than XX

[@stefaniapilotto7165]

1836, 1845

[@jrgnc1]

One thing I can say is women went through a lot of trouble and discomfort that they put on themselves just to look "fashionable". Their clothes could have been simpler and more comfortable, but they chose the opposite out of vanity.

[@mtngrl5859]

Fashion invariably is uncomfortable. How comfortable are 5 inch stiletto's?

[@ladyjustice1474]

Seems like the 80's fashion are a disaster in any century.

[@CulturedElegance]

What about the 1780s??

[@vickilindberg6336]

Nothing with a crinoline, too flamible.
