[@SeerWalker]

Olivia Kukahiko source? from what i understand there’s quite a bit of contention about what women did/wore on their periods throughout history, as it wasn’t generally the sort of thing that was recorded. however, i can say that with the luxury of modern conveniences like pads/tampons and analgesics, it’s really not that much different. toilets can be difficult to navigate, but you learn to deal with the skirts. and on the plus side, you never have to worry about staining your pants!

[@loverofteaandspice]

Well, till the 20th century, undergarments for women were really rare. They wouldnt wear anything pant like at all under their chemise, so for the longest time, women just let it flow- There are rumors about some using moss in the medieval days for example, but there is no proof for that. (Lets just say Im glad that we are in the 21st century by now-)

Does anyone else find it amazing that despite this young woman's identity and who she was being lost to time and history, her visage is known by millions of people the world over, some three centuries after her passing? She was portrayed in a Hollywood film and, here, she's portrayed in a video on the internet, something that people during that time couldn't have even conceived of. I think that's what makes art and artists so amazing; in a small way, they make immortality possible.

As all women pretty much followed the fashion of the day, all the portraits would have looked the same.

No wonder they all looked so "stiff" wearing those items especially that whale bone corset!

[@AlexandraVioletta]

[@MichelleOsorio]

Dang it why do I read comments during the videos? Spoilers 😭

[@CarlosDiaz-hf3qv]

The two crowseye videos that almost brought me to tears were the Gioconda and this one. Can you imagine, those two girls, sitting casually at a chair, being instructed by a painter to stay still for a couple of hours, their boredom of just sitting there, holding that same pose and expression, getting tired of holding that same neck and back position for hours at a time (especially the Girl With a Pearl Earring!!!, such a twisted neck!!!). I don't think that they ever realized at that split moment in the ebb of infinite time, that, in the midst of their boredom, their tiredness at holding the same pose for hours, their faces would be recognized by the entire human race. Whether they realize it or not, those few split moments in history, made their beauty worth the wait.

Everyone says that historical clothes look so uncomfortable, but I think wearing a chemise, petticoats and cozy stockings would be so comfy. Idk maybe I’m weird.

[@lurategh]

I've always said it'd be cool to try wearing certain things from historical fashion, too. Practically speaking, they're not very functional for the modern woman, but the clothes were just so pretty! One thing I *don't* mind missing out on is the corset. I know people say depending on what kind it is and how you wear it, they're really not that uncomfortable, but...nah brah, definitely not my thing and I'm so thankful it's not the convention to wear them today (even though I know some choose to and that's cool). That's just me.

[@missmissx4565]

I agree. Especially in Winter!

[@dx.feelgood5825]

Stockings are already super comfy, so I don't doubt it

[@martinainniger6716]

it's not the chemise, the petticoats or the stockings that are uncomfortable in these outfits. corsets were almost banished from womens fashion for a reason lol. i don't mind wearing a well fitted and tailored corset for a couple of hours but imagine spending the whole day, every day in a corset, having to work in it, probably even exercising in one.. nope thank you!

[@18thcenturyaddict10]

@@martinainniger6716 actualy the idea of the being corset being for a small waist did not exist until around the Victorian times. What was used by women before that was the stays they were more used to support the bust those who could afford it boned it with whalebone but the lower would often bone them with a bundle of reeds that was a lot more flexible. So if you were rich enough to afford whale bone then you would not need the flexibility to work.

[@sagepearce5447]

In the 2020's, even the upper class dressed themselves. Undergarments were simple and minimal as heating and air conditioning had become widely popularized and accessible in the western world. Denim pants known as blue jeans, or simply jeans, were incredibly popular. While the name blue jeans implies that all pants in this era were blue, denim could come in nearly every color imaginable. However, the classic blue hue was most common. Many adolescents of this time had abandoned the tight, elastic jeans of the last decade, opting for a looser cut, often cuffing the bottom as mass-manufacture led to clothing that was not quite a perfect fit. Simple, loose cotton shirts were worn on top, often times with varying prints, text, images, and colors that could be bought to suit each person's liking. These were known as t-shirts. While most were of the short-sleeved variety, long-sleeved t-shirts were not uncommon. Blue jeans and t-shirts were worn by every gender. Shoes were often made to be comfortable, and came in many styles and varieties - the most common either simply slid onto the foot or attached by laces. Socks were typically worn under shoes and came in many styles, the most popular ending at the ankle. Makeup was most often worn by women, but this was a time when gender norms were breaking and it was becoming more normal for makeup to be worn or not worn by nearly anyone. Hair and makeup were determined by each person's own unique style, with many people taking inspiration from favored celebrities.

Just gorgeous. The part from 7:13 onwards, when the painter comes in, and all prior hints fall into place, is particularly breathtaking for being shot in a painterly, even Vermeer-esque, way - rich colors, luminous pearlized surfaces. In addition to the Girl with a Pearl Earring, there seems to be a second Vermeer lady here - the servant's dress, with its brown jacket, blue apron, and white headdress, seems very similar to that of his Milkmaid/Kitchen Maid...

[@jgallub]

Pritika Pradhan that and did you notice the candle holder in the beginning with Vermeers signature blue color?

[@Pritikapradhan]

@@jgallub Good catch! The candleholder is most likely Delftware (blue and white pottery made in Delft in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in imitation of imported Chinese blue and white porcelain); as you noted, it shows up frequently in Vermeer's work.

[@mikuhatsune184]

You know, they still have stays made for reenactors on some sites. And stays may not be the cheapest thing to buy nowadays, but some corsets are pretty cheap. The overbust corsets are what you’re looking for. Most well-made off the rack corsets cost about $60-$80. Some good first corset brands to try out are Orchard Corset and Timeless Trends. Make sure to talk with one of their sizing experts so you can get the best fitting corset they have for your measurements. And if you’re concerned about the effects of corseting on your body, check out Lucy’s Corsetry on KZbin. She has a lot of informative videos and corset reviews. Just so you know :)

[@MizzKittyBichon]

Yes, I know quite a bit about corsets. I own several of them as a matter of fact. I am also subscribed to Lucy's channel and am very familiar with Orchard Corset, Timeless Trends, Dark Garden, Starkers, and many other corset brands and one-person businesses. What I was saying was that I would like to find a boned bodice like the one shown in the video that functions like both stays and outerwear. That way I can wear only one thing on the top half of my body (except for a chemise-like garment underneath of course) without the need for extra bust support. I hope that all makes sense.

[@miraleatardiff8543]

.. can't wear long sleeves and risk dragging your sleeve across the ink and smearing it all over the page, not to mention all over the sleeve. Back then letter writing was the main form of communication and something that was expected of educated people - and thanks to computers and social media, it is becoming a lost art ;-)

This film is beautiful 🙂 And the voice of the narratorice is soooo silky and beautiful too. And the last phrase "and today... she is simly known as..........

Fun fact, the girl with the pearl earring was said to be a servant to one of the artists patreons.

[@tsaszymborska7389]

And it’s not a pearl earring. If you look closely at the painting you can easily see that. If I remember correctly there are several ideas of what juwellery it is but the experts are not sure, only that it is not pearl.

[@ZatriaKnightfell]

@@tsaszymborska7389 That is true! If I remember correctly, that 'pearl earring' is actually just a smudged drop of white paint, that gave the illusion of there being a pearl earring. Lucky for the painter, as just a little touch up from his side allowed the 'mistake' to be turned into something beautiful.

[@Sofia-nc1tu]

@@tsaszymborska7389 or maybe it is a pearl. Just that, because of the black background, it was easy to just paint two smudges of paint :) perhaps Vermeer didn't put too much mind on it

[@LanguageExpert-hg8do]

What you said is true... Vermeer painted a servant in that potrait ! He has other bful potraits too of maids doing baking etc

[@titusdiodoros1876]

You nailed the jacket perfectly ! alot of recreations use dull material (probably wool) but if you look at the jacket the shimmer and sheen of the fabric suggests satin. Similarly the tail of the turban has a slight sheen that many people don't pick up on.The satin of this jacket and the sheen of the turban tail really make this look like the painting! Absolutely stunning!

You can find them in every second hand store, although many people wouldn't know what they were used for initially. I use mine to keep knick-knacks in (and until I saw this video, I had no idea they were footwarmers).

Much better than the movie about the portrait and more logical explanation. I found this very interesting because the basic dress components were relatively simple and unadorned. I was also surprised about the bodice and that stays were not worn underneath. Very nice presentation.

[@littlemoon6813]

Tbh I'm pretty sure the clothing for children didn't vary that much from an adults For young girls I'd say its safe to assume the stays wouldn't be laced tightly

[@hsmacaraig]

human__disaster Maybe no stays at all! I hope so..

[@Deepingmind]

The stays weren't just for shape but also important for protecting core heat and supporting the body since bras weren't yet a common thing. Children normally had soft wool stays that fitted like a modern no-sleeve wool vest would. In a time when the little ice age was in swing, having good and breathable layers to protect from the cold was vital.
