I’m 81,, and my mother was born in 1905. I have one photo of my grandmother, taken about 1910, with the typical white lacy blouse and dark coloured walking skirt. Her hair was put up almost exactly like yours.

The closure process for this stunning look is fascinating and it makes everything look like one gown

[@YourNextCast]

Always elegant. Was just taking a break and saw your video pop up. Great watch as always. Thanks for taking us back in time. 👍👍

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! Glad I could provide a pleasant little break in the day 😁

i'm getting trumptonshire trilogy vibes from this whole thing

[@annamaria976]

I am very impressed. I love such dresses, hairstyles, shoes and hats. One feels much more womanly with many petticoats. There used to be no off-the-rack clothes, they were fitted to the body. Wearing luxury custom made clothes. No plastic in the fabric, only cotton, silk or wool fabrics. Thank you for this wonderful video. Warm greetings from Germany

Love the ruffle treatment on the skirt ..... the whole presentation is beautiful as usual. Thank you

All you need is a dainty porch table set with a pitcher of lemonade, some glasses and cookies.

[@rachelsmith7928]

Thank you so much for this, so helpful in researching my book. You look gorgeous, too!

[@SewLoud]

you're inspiring me to make more padding for my corset. I think I need more hips

[@DamesalaMode]

SO MUCH PADDING! And I have natural padding! Moar pads!

[@CalebQKing]

What a lovely gown 💖

[@RaquelCruz]

A visual delight. ❤️

[@LaHayeSaint]

A white skirt dragging along the ground would gather dirt. How frequently were the petticoats and outer skirt and bodice washed? Would the clothes have been forced through a mangle, or would they have been drip-dried? I love your White Sands Dress and the Swiss waist. You show very clearly the use of hip pads and S-bend corset to end up with a curvy figure. What a clever illusion!

[@MyLady120]

Oh my goodness how beautiful and so elegant. Thank you so much for your beautiful video. I love it!

[@denisebennett3144]

Gorgeous as always.

[@DamesalaMode]

What a beautiful video! 💕

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! 😘

Hi,such a lovely dress,you look beautiful.💖

[@janehollander1934]

Beautiful such an elegant dress. It's sometimes hard to believe that my (b. 1971) Grandmother (b. 1889-d. 1967) got dressed like this. And the change she and others like her saw happing, in her lifetime, to how ladies dressed. 🤔 Don't Americans 🇺🇸 have other names for these historic time periods? Instead of refering to them by the, then, ruling 👑Monarchs in 🇬🇧? Just curious...😊✌🏻. Greetings👋🏻 from 🇳🇱 The Netherlands.

[@DamesalaMode]

We sort of do, but it depends on the time period! "Victorian" is still pretty common and there isn't a direct correlation to the "Edwardian" era (the Gilded Age is kinda close but not as specific) so I always still find myself using the British nomenclature 😅

[@janehollander1934]

Aha👍🏻Thank you so much, for that explanation, dear @@DamesalaMode 👍🏻

[@janeodee1677]

I think it's the belle epoch.

[@McGuigan21]

Beautiful work. I understand it takes a while to get dressed in this fashion, but would be awesome if it wasn't such a rarity in today's world. It's just so elegant a d respectful.

[@PepperReed214]

Did you make the hat?

[@DamesalaMode]

Sort of? :) It's just a plan straw hat that I added some fabric, ribbons, and flowers to. So I guess I decorated it but didn't make it, if that makes sense!

[@PepperReed214]

@@DamesalaMode Yes, I get it. You trimmed the hat. And it looks great!
