Dressing up for a 1790s evening

[@thatoneemokid9030]

not even gonna lie, it was very unexpected to hear you narrate the video! it was something i’ve never heard you do in the years of watching your channel, but it was absolutely lovely and i hope you continue to do it! you have a very calming voice!💖💖

[@thepresence365]

I think the narration could be reserved for special videos, or a particular series. One of the things that drew me in immediately when I first found the channel was the soothing effect of music/reading/images 😅

[@sarahburke8955]

SHE SPEAKS!!! This video was so wonderful, with your narration!! Loved it, bling bloopers and all!

[@seamlyshenanigans861]

Okay! So two things! I love finally being able to hear your voice!! And finally I get to see you recreate regency era fashion!!! I’m in heaven right now!! ❤️

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Izabela, so lovely to hear your voice! Your videos bring history to life, answering many questions in the process. Spectacular work, which really breathes life into historical costuming! Thanks for all you do!

[@ItsJustLisa]

Nice to hear you, Izabela. We all wholeheartedly forgive your wrong shift (as if most of us would have spotted or realized it). Clearly the late 18th century was much kinder to women where dressing was concerned - a shift, stays, one petticoat that’s not too dissimilar to slip from from my own childhood (save the fabric) and a gown. Looking ahead to what came in the next 100 years, that’s nothing!

[@PetWessman]

REALLY like the new format with audio explanations! It allows the viewer to focus solely on the video and picking up details that were lost when you had to read too! 😊

[@Lionessfeather]

It's lovely to have the audio accompanying the video! But if you're more comfortable with the written text (or if they're easier to produce) then I will also keep watching those! Basically: do whichever you're most comfortable with! And thank you so much for all of these videos, it's so lovely to get a glimpse underneath the clothes.

[@talosheeg]

Izabella you talk!! Love your work, great to finally hear your voice!

[@djahant]

So nice to hear your voice. The gown is so rich. Loved it!!

[@randa0283]

I was so surprised to hear you speak in a video! I loved the narration and the banter while you were dressing! I'm assuming your husband is your cameraman. Great job! I love the new format! Keep it up!

[@RandiPoitras]

Some narration!! Wonderful, thank you! It usually takes me about double the length of a video to actually watch it because I have to pause to read all the time, then look at the garments themselves, and it’s not nearly as enjoyable as it would be otherwise

[@Rainbopagn]

So glad we get to hear your lovely voices now!!

[@anniekinsmishkamouse7575]

Gorgeous voice. I really like the extra narrative. Very creative. And lovely clothes. Thank you. Edit: round gowns were described in many of Georgette Heyer's books. It was nice to have a visual.

[@ipsitamazumdar4849]

Love the new format and we get to hear you as well! Fashion during the late 1800s seemed surprisingly simplistic, far cry from the tonnes of layers. And it’s pretty wearable, if I may say so.

[@fjdyyh2542]

*late 1700s

[@ipsitamazumdar4849]

Tkdt yes:D. Thanks

[@suzannederringer1607]

Love the new Format. Great to hear your remarks as you dress. Charming Outfit!

[@Ann-snowshoeingonEnceladus]

Glad the wardrobe mishaps were left in, they made this all the more relatable! I'll bet a lot of us have had similar experiences when dressing for an important occasion.

[@AquarianZenaida]

I must say, your accent is so cute! :D I love late 18th and early 19th fashion, so pretty.

[@missiworld]

I so admire getting to hear you speak and explain everything! It's truly lovely and gives so much more personality and light to what is happening.

[@scarletpimpernelagain9124]

missiworld Yes and me, lovely accent that I can’t place, Danish?

[@0halibut0]

Loved the voice over and the chit chat whilst dressing!

[@Loki-and-Thor]

Love the narration in the video, this was fantastic. Thank you.

[@melaniehancock2210]

Oh my goodness I want to do this so bad! Dress up and dance traditional dances of the period. I came here to see what Demelza from Poldark would be wearing as I’m reading the books now :)

[@aoi-chan8175]

Im so happy I've been dying waiting for more videos and it was such a nice surprise to hear your voice

[@Lolitadelugo]

I love listening to your voice! Sometimes when reading the longer texts I need to stop and go back to read again. Love it!

[@hp2614]

love the narration! you have a lovely voice :)) never thought of the 1790s as looking like this.

[@raynaives9804]

How nice to hear your voice! What a rare pleasure

[@hotuballoon]

Surprised by the narration but I loved it. You have a very calming voice

[@jacquelinetaylor8683]

The added vocal description definitely adds to the video. So much better than having to read subtitles which distracts from the costume

[@ccddle]

THANK YOU FOR THE VOICE OVER. I so appreciate it!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Oh my gosh your voice is so pretty! It added so much an already lovely series!

[@amburlicious6683]

Loving the voice over and speaking to the camera!

[@annashepherd2323]

Enjoyed the video and the narration with extra information- my favourite time period!

[@earthestar]

This was my favorite video so far! I love the commentary and wished I lived near Bath to go to a proper ball. I love seeing the interaction with others dressed up and dancing too. What fun!

[@hazel8071]

You're so beautiful and your voice is captivating!! I loved the voiceover.

[@e.s.r5809]

Oh, how interesting about the stays, that explains a lot about some second hand stays of mine that had been puzzling me! I bought a very beautiful pair at a vintage and theatrical shop a while ago-- the lace holes were wrong (set in horizontal pairs, not staggered) but otherwise the pattern looked like a quite faithful 18th century reproduction, and the boning was good quality steel spring. However, they were shorter on my waist than I expected, which confused me because I'm 5' tall. I thought perhaps they had been made for a child, but it seemed odd to make boned stays for a child in our era. This explains so much-- I got the period wrong, and they must be based off a late 1700s pattern! Thank you!

[@VickieV1333]

You are so cute with your asset adjustment and oopsies! 😂🤣. I also love how cool and collected you are when you brought the wrong chemise, the bling broke and jumped ship...What’s pleasure to watch.

[@stace0712]

I loved being able to hear you speak! Great video!

[@MizzKittyBichon]

I like how you changed things up with the narration. Keep up the great work!

[@PauliEvansBlack617]

A voiced video! What a nice surprise ☺️

[@rebeccadewolfe2239]

It's nice to hear you narrating! Beautiful gown!

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

I really love these higher waisted styles the best, I think. I'd actually love to have one of those stays for use today lol. Perfect for flattening the stomach, nipping the waist in a little, and good posture!

[@mikitta47]

Not to mention holding the sisters where they belong :D It actually looks very comfortable!

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

@@mikitta47 lol, that too 👀

[@MisAJGraveS]

Love the voice over! Your videos are some of my favorite. Yours were the first ration history videos I watch and sparked my interest in historical dress. I’m visually impaired so usually I have to pause frequently zoom in the read the captions and play again. So anyway LOVE the voice over.

[@___Laura]

Hi there! I have a video suggestion/request. It would be awesome if you could do a dedicated video on corsets and stays, how they changed over time, which ones you find most comfortable, etcetera. It would be lovely to see some close-ups on how they work too. I really hope you read this! Have a nice day :)

[@mikitta47]

I love that you are talking in this one!

[@anita750]

Yes! Very much like this format. With the longer captions I always have to pause to read, else I miss what you are actually doing.

[@ScarletHeather76]

Having you speak is a lovely addition!

[@jessicaspaid198]

Love the spoken narration!

[@zentierra7803]

I loved the dual drawstring set up of this gown...what a clever way to adjust the bodice! I am assuming that this feature was common for day gowns as well? I can especially see where it would have been a fantastic way to accommodate a pregnancy. I know that the so-called 'empire-waist' gowns are not a particularly liked style for many, but these - as well as the stunningly beautiful gowns of the 1912-1914 years - are my absolute favorites!

[@keeristdiablo540]

I really like the fact that you're now doing some narration. It adds a bit more "warmth" & interest to the presentation. Not to mention the fact that, by the time I'd read the caption on your regular videos, I'd missed whatever you were doing. So I had to keep pausing at nearly every caption change, or I'd miss half the information (also the main reason I purely hate trying to watch a sub-titled movie!). So thank you for the format change, and please, keep it up! Just one more thing: Where's Merlin? How is the little guy liking his new "digs"?

[@berthas4th]

Thank you for the narrated video. Loved it as usual!😻

[@lasrber]

I hope this doesn't sound weird, but could you please do a video showing a close up of lacing and tieing a corset? I want to get into historical fashion, but i'm a bit lost on how to start or tie it off without over complicating things

[@madhatter909]

Actually, this looks really comfortable!! Loved the end shot of you dancing!!

[@myinsanityx4]

Really enjoyed the extra explanations and hearing you speak!

[@jessicachipps2159]

Loved hearing your narration

[@aniaraguz]

I love your videos and how they are generally accessible to those of us who need captions, so I was a bit sad to find I couldn't enjoy this one as well.

[@mnels5214]

LOVE the voiced videos! Great video!

[@anubispt6002]

Really enjoyed the narration! Great video ♥️

[@merlin4622]

What a nice vid, watching and hearing you, lovely and the dress looks fantastic! :o)))

[@joselynbayern6390]

I love the narrated version! Good work and as always, a wonderful dress!

[@reneestarling9525]

I love the bit of video from the ball! Seeing historic fashions actually being lived and moved in is one of the best things about your channel.

[@carboncookie]

Love the narration!

[@debbieboring3422]

I enjoyed the narration. Of course, I like your videos anyway you do them. This looks so comfortable and lovely. I don't understand why they went back in a few years to have the hoop cages and the bussels in the back.

[@crystalfabulous]

I love it when you talk. You’re so adorable

[@rosemarie5489]

You have no idea how much I enjoy watching your video and how much I appreciate the effort you put into making them!

[@Ciccigreen]

Oh how fun to hear you narrate, more of this please! Your accent threw me for a loop since I thought you were English, and the accent was light enough I wasn’t sure I was hearing it. I must confess I checked out your LinkedIn to confirm it, haha!

[@autumnbippus8161]

It is so good to hear your voice, thank you for doing the voiceovers and adding the speaking parts. :) I’ve been reading the comments and others would like you to go back, which I understand their reasons and see their points, but to do both, on your part, I can see that might be overkill. I just wanted to tell you that I love both formats, and you have a viewer who will be happy with whatever format you put out. I love watching your videos!!! I’ll see you in the next one.

[@SameZide88]

Love the informative narration! More please!

[@alisonlayne8214]

You look so good in that color. I love it . You all make me want to do this more and more. I hope to be as good as you one day. Working on ot not there yet. Please keep showing these dress. They inspire me. Thanks

[@thenaughtyprintmaker4297]

Love the new format and new voice over/real time narration!

[@mindymoyer9600]

It is nice to actually see what they wore for corset and how they attached their petticoats.!

[@yazdhenab.]

I though the turban was a belt ! xD

[@monicasmith5943]

Please keep the subtitles. The subtitles auto generated made no sense, and I have hearing loss, so all the background noise, even with my hearing aid, made it impossible for me to understand.

[@priorattire]

i haven't generated any auto subtitles???

[@AnidHarker]

@@priorattire no but youtube does that by itself, which is why it's mostly nonsense most of the time...

[@CuteRuth]

I wasn't familiar with the style of this particular era but I have to say, I really like the dress and the silhouette. Having gained and lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, I wish modern clothes utilised more drawstrings. Would be handy!

[@Historical_Seamstress]

I loved that you talked and another great video! Thank you!

[@berdienbruyneel7990]

I really enjoy your videos. I really like historical dresses and to see how they are made and worn is amazing. I wish I had the time, space and patience to be able to do what you do. Keep up the good work!!😊

[@viyanbaskurt6870]

I have just discovered this channel and this channel has been here for a long time and an artist who loves very talented historical fashions cannot see the value of this artist's labor, and I am sure it will make me very good.

[@madcatlady1935]

Absolutely love this! Love the simplicity and elegance, the turban and feathers are fantastic. Thank you, love your channel. Sooooo talented!

[@Karina-jm2oe]

I love love LOVE the voice over!!! It is hard to read and look at the garments at the same time. Thank you!!!

[@katyakoala6636]

Miss Prior Attire...your videos are inspiring and educational! And love the music and mishaps❤❤❤ We have all been there!

[@jimdavis1516]

And a always, the most beautifully dressed one at the ball!

[@helenel4126]

My favorite era! And except for that incredibly well-fitted corset, a costume that a ten-thumbed seamstress (me) could actually make! Love the turban and the feathers.

[@CindyLooWhovian]

This was really interesting because I guess I never thought about the transition from the Revolutionary Era fashion a la Meet Felicity (that American Girls series) to the Regency fashions of Jane Austen.

[@calilibrarian]

Hello from California. I loved the new format because its really cool to hear your voice and beautiful accent. The little mishaps are part of the charm. I like being taken to the balls in your videos. I feel like I'm getting a peek into the past. The only way to experience them for one who lives across the pond. One day!! I also love asset adjustment. LOL

[@dixieAQHA]

Yay! Another narration/speaking video. I like these because I don't miss as much while trying to read the text.

[@lamsing2u]

I enjoyed all of your videos. And this one was also just as fantastic and I love your new format.

[@MariahPattie]

Thanks for sharing! I feel like I understand the 90's silhouette fashion plates much better now! And I like the voiceovers; your voice is lovely :)

[@signovsiv1125]

It’s easier to understand listening rather than reading! As I’m a slow reader i frequently have to pause videos to read text, so I really enjoyed this video with your voice!🥰

[@elizathemermaid]

Loved the narration! And the clothes, as usual

[@thatgrumpychick4928]

When the narration started I looked around to see who was talking. I'm not used to any narration

[@Itsgonnabeok1325]

I enjoyed this format with you speaking. 🙂

[@michaelhamilton1523]

Lovely. Your attire shows such an attention to detail and such keen respect for the period in which you are dressing. From a longtime fan in the US who can barely sew a button on my sweater, I salute you.

[@karenwright9123]

Gown is a lovely color,and nicely swishy!! Very nice!!!

[@anamarf]

Just pausing the video to say, I am very interested in this time period, 1780/90s, so I'm really glad you explained this "transitional" thing. I mean, you always explain things, but, yeah X) Back to the vid ^^

[@briivey4763]

Beautiful video, wish the screen was full though, hard to see the full details of the dress

[@izziedoradora3799]

Every time I look at your videos,I learn something new and a question that was answered. Thank you so very much.😍

[@vandas5613]

Love this style, looks very comfortable and undergarments are simple.

[@Michaelneiss]

Somehow, I really enjoy your antagonistic relationship with buttons ... :-)

[@luciarodrigues7416]

I loved the whole thing. Thank you!

[@MarcelinEnjolras]

I love your videos, but I did prefer the old style! My ADHD makes it difficult for me to concentrate on the details of something while also trying to process a verbal explanation, and I found it much easier to focus on the beautiful clothes and your explanations at the same time when they were written out.

[@aniaraguz]

Same! I have neurological conditions that make following the vocal narration too difficult most of the time. This has always been a safe channel for me when I'm struggling 🙃

[@tallgrasslanestitches6635]

Have you considered turning the volume down or off?

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

I wonder if Greek revival hit around now because of the proliferation of new democracies for the first time in well over a thousand years.

[@AlexYorim]

True to that.
