Husbands did up their wives' buttons, fathers their orphaned daughter's, the maiden aunt who lived with her brother's family would help her sister-in-law, even housewives would help a live-in maid of all work if they had only the one maid.

So my grandmother had one of those stand up bath thingies. She kept it as decoration mostly, I'm not sure if she ever used that one specifically but I suspect she may have used one in the past as a child because when I was growing up my mother taught me to wash myself exactly like this with the sink in the mornings. You'd fill the sink up with warm water and get a wash cloth and get it wet. Put a little soap on it and wash yourself. Mainly my mother taught me to wash areas like my genitals and arm pits (and as I got older she instructed under the chest). This was done in addition to showering in the evenings most nights. I never realized this wasn't normal until I started sleeping over friend's houses and stuff. When I asked my mom about it, she said that it was just something her mother taught her to do as well and she thought it was good practice. It's kind of interesting to realize that this is something that was probably in my family for generations, way back to these Victorian days.

[@onesunnyday5699]

[@holyexperience1976]

I am from '76, and learned to wash by the sink before I was a teen. I would love to do something like this now after I come home from somewhere as I do not want to get in my bed without getting clean first or sitting in my clean chair without getting clean first ( I have another chair for when I cannot wash first ), but I never know when my boyfriend needs washroom ( is without a gallbladder and also, overactive bladder ) so I do better with showers to be done faster. But I either wait until he has done his washroom biz before I shower or when he goes to sleep for the night.

[@candyzombiee]

the “wE aRe NoT tIgHtLaCiNg!!!!” brought a smile to my face. i appreciate when people talk about that since it’s not a proper way to really even wear a corset and is the main reason they’re considered so awful for people. corsets are great! you just gotta wear it right

[@KarsynMacenna]

A proper corset was just like a bra, that which offered support for either a high/middle/working class. In certain circles, and time periods it was tightened or made in such a way that it was a risk for health but most women were at no greater risk than those who use bras today. In older pictures and illustrations, you'll see working class women going about their days, which was filled with a lot of laborious activities, without a struggle. A vast majority of "costume corsets" nowadays are NOT created properly, the way the fabric is cut (the shape) and the support is positioned/and used wrong and will do more harm than a real one. Which should be specifically made for your individual body type, and follow a previously created design for the shape desired.

Fashion Historian here! This video was such a delight and the dressing and outfit was great for what you had on hand EXCEPT for the corset part!😂as much as modern fashion has brought back the item and styled it as one would as an accessory like a vest (very similar to what you did!), to Victorians it was more or less their precursor to the bra- and had you actually gone with your day, it would almost be compared to you going out in modern times with your bra over your shirt! Another interesting fact is that a majority of doctors against corsetry are what we consider the “anti-vaxxers” of the era- they often twisted information and created hoaxes like muscle atrophy to try to influence ladies’ husbands into disdaining from “indulgences” but more or less again in a modern analogy imagine your husband trying to take away your bra☠️Other than that your video brought a great, fun light to the Victorians’ routine!

[@alivanvugt]

So are you saying that wearing a corset nearly 24/7 is healthy? Just trying to understand your side of this pro-vax comparison...

Hi there! And not at all- to the point of which I never made the point of people wearing corsets 24/7, very much today where people don’t wear their bras 24/7. In historical actuality there’s only a small percentage of Victorians that wore theirs day and night. And to clarify my analogy, it is similar to the fact that doctors who knew nothing of women’s systems were creating false information to fearmonger society.

It’s not odd. Sure being cozily wrapped in a loved ones arms is great until it’s just to itchy/sweaty. When you fall asleep, his snoring starts. Honestly, there are many kinds of snoring. Most of them disturbing. The restlessness of one or both of you constantly waking the other up. I’m mean sex can be done before going to separate beds, in the middle of the night when one summons the other, or even during the day. It doesn’t just happen when two people are sleeping in the same bed. You can even lovingly fall asleep in each other’s arms after said sex. But as soon as the disturbances start, a sweet kiss and off to your own bed is just as sweet. Then there is the good morning sex that can and does still happen! It’s not weird to sleep in separate beds. It’s just for the peaceful sleeping periods. 😉

You really went all out and I adore it. Thirdly, YES JARED! The COMMITMENT. Get this man an oscar. Fourthly, Love giving credit where credit is due. Ruby has done an amazing job in video as well and its so lovely to see creators encouraging and inspiring each other. Lastly, Thank you so much for all the time you put into these videos. There are so many details that could go unnoticed such as the intense research, the multiple camera angles, things purchased etc. This is like netflix series quality. Thanks for such a great video!

[@CrawfishPopsicle]

Never thought I'd be vibing with this sort of thing, but the quality of your videos is *so* good. I'm obsessed!

Over 15 years ago my partner and I decided to sleep in separate beds and absolutely loved it. It worked well for us! I love that they do the same. My Sleep is very important for me 😊

[@marilynmainwaring9978]

Oh my goodness! I absolutely adore you! My daughter (35), granddaughters (13, 12, & 8) and I (57) are all about all of your content 😊 It’s as though you created your channel just for us 🥰🥰🥰

My Grandmother was born in the late 1800's. She rarely took a bath in her 100 years of life. She said " You wash down as far as possible then you wash up as far a possible, then you wash possible!" Lol

Also a shawl that covered the shoulders and or breast was called a "Fichu"

A video idea is to go around your city and visit a bunch of "free little libraries"! They are so cute and you can take a book for free and give one back to the community! This would be so fun to watch!

[@aris6745]

Corsets are undergarments and so would be worn underneath a blouse, and nightgowns are typically worn underneath the corset. You have all the right stuff, but the right order is very important too!

[@taylorgayhart9497]

Okay so all the hair tips are actually great still today! Rosemary oil is great for hair growth, you shouldn’t wash your hair more than once a week, and oil is the best thing for smoothly, healthy, shiny hair!! Except brushing does clean it by removing building on the scalp!

[@gracefulclutes]

Hey! Just a heads up for anyone that wants to try the homemade toothpaste recipe! Coconut oil will clog your drain. I would recommend using a powder recipe and forgoing the coconut oil. But love the video!!!!

[@Dreamyflowerfields]

or spit it into a paper towel and throwing it into biowaste ?

[@jenniferfischer163]

We use baking soda, that's it. Deodorant is baking soda mixed with corn starch. We don't use shampoos or conditioners either.

Ooh yeah that drain clog happened to me, searching for an alternative cause I loved making my own toothpaste

You and your husband are adorable! I also recommend TV-series Victorian Farm with Ruth Goodman, it is really fun and a great look into Victorian times.

I started watching that as part of my research for this video! 😃 I knew never knew about it before. It really shows the reality of the lower and working class during the Victorian era. Super eye opening and entertaining at the same time :)

I used to make a tea with rosemary and nettle to pour through my hair. Perhaps I should pick that up again 🤔

I watched the whole 21min video without skipping any scene, which is pretty rare. I mean I enjoyed watching this ! Beautifully filmed 🧡 love the warm voice of yours. Im fantasized by your charm, not the victorian era.

[@elizarline]

I don’t believe corsets actually caused muscles atrophying. Corsets actually encourage proper posture and work muscles more. I think that belief is from the same sources that believed women’s bodies required corsets for their uterus might fall out 😳 I’m just parroting dress historians I enjoy on here. Love your aesthetic and your videos. Psuedo-Victorian outfit and hair is on point 🙌🏼

[@mariferj8320]

Idk dude I've heard that some women wore them so much they were unable to hold up their upper body properly. You have to think, the human body wasn't meant to wear corsets so there could have been negative side effects such as this.

[@charlief2085]

@@mariferj8320 I’ve never heard of that actually happening though? Is that true or a myth made up by the men at that time. Like the fact that corsets were generally dangerous. They’re not unless they don’t fit properly or they are tight laced which most people didn’t do. Idk though I could be wrong

[@jeremynv89523]

As an experiment, a Polish woman wore all 11 layers of Victorian dress on a hot 100degree August afternoon. You’d have thought she’d have passed out from heat stroke, wouldn’t you? Actually, she said it was not half bad. The Victorians wore natural fibers that all breathed. She was left wondering why modern women suffocate themselves during the summer, wearing synthetic garments that were like plastic bags. This video is real eye bleach due to its aesthetics. Thank you for posting.

[@bethanyplatt4237]

I'm usually in 2 or 3 layers, even in the summer, to protect my skin from the sun. I try to find 100% cotton or linen clothing and I am just fine. If what you're wearing is breathable fabric, you honestly don't get super hot.
