Replica of the ball gown from Wort, which was made by Nikita Ivanovsky (Minsk, Belarus).
The video shows the layers that the lady puts on to achieve the desired silhouette.

I love that the desired silhouette was made by clothing in the old days, nowadays, you have to attempt to make your body itself the desired silhouette.

[@niawohl3377]

Shapewear still exists, but isn’t as common.

[@lestrada1351]

And it wasn't about your size, but about creating the right proportions!

[@0912sooli]

At least niw you csn have individuality...you can wear jeans and shorts or you can go all retro

[@castoputa]

The corset here supports the weight of the underpinnings and skirts comfortably, otherwise they’re impossible to wear for long

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

I didn’t attempt anything and I have the desired silhouette for this dress. The backside, at least.

[@patriciabeharry7473]

I'm 75 years old. I remember as a little girl see my grandmother laced up in her corset,

[@rainyreverie8550]

DUDE that’s so cool!!! I can’t really explain why, this comment just makes me happy. I don’t even know anyone who’s ever been in a corset, and think my closest relative who regularly wore one was like, my great-great grandma. God, fashion history is so awesome

[@nicholejoslin4324]

@Anna Hopewell Please get over yourself. Real Worth gowns, especially from this time period, are too delicate to be worn, so wearing a REPLICA would be an honor. A REPLICA is just that: a piece created to look EXACTLY like the original piece. Without REPLICAS, we would have a poorer understanding of how these pieces were created/went together. The word REPLICA is NOT NEGATIVE. Do everyone a favor and stop projecting YOUR negativity onto others and what they say. :)

This is how Cinderella’s dress should have looked. It’s FABULOUS

[@IGUniverse]

Well it would be if Cinderella had lived at the end on 19 Century. But the story it's sopouse yo be like in the 17th or 18th Century.

[@IGUniverse]

But is fair to Say that Disney's princess dresses are almost bases in the 19 Century siluet mix with the siluet of the time.when the movies where Made.

[@TemariNaraannaschatz]

I guess you mean Cinderella 2017, but that wasn't meant to be historically accurate, that was supposed to be in the style of a setpiece from the 18th century made in the 1950s and it accomplishes that very well. And this gown is nearly 2 centuries too old for that if we'd go with historical accuracy in a fantasy element movie.

[@mjmcd1274]

I was actually thinking the old animated version. Not for the historical accuracy, but just because it looks so much more regal

[@IGUniverse]

@@mjmcd1274 well that make sense. Actually ir You look at the dresses are like 19 Th Century dresses but modernized at the current fashion of the time when the movie was relesed

Thank you for uploading this. As a reader of period literature, this video helps me understand how dependent a woman was when required to present herself in such garments. She could not dress without assistance, and once encased in all the undergirdments could not free herself to take rest, short of using knife and scissors. The artifice has visual appeal, but the price is formidable. The period preceding this was much less behaviorally and sartorially confining for women.

[@uniquely.mediocre1865]

It's so cool to see the rare 1890s crinoline, thanks for showing off what it looks like

[@tessat338]

My wedding gown was modeled after this style and era of dress. It was lovely and a joy to wear. I wished that I'd had other occasions to wear it as ladies did during this time period. Brides in the 1800s were expected to wear their wedding dress, which would have been their best dress, at formal occasions like balls and social events during their first year of marriage.

[@rebeccatavel554]

So jealous of that beautiful silhouette in that gorgeous Worth gown!! To have lived in those days❤️

[@meanderingthroughtime2336]

That corset is gorgeous. I don't think I've seen one in that colour before, it's refreshing. And don't get me started on the gown. Could you perhaps show us some close-ups of the embroidery?

@@chronischgeheilt Yes, I'm sure that you are correct. I later realized that the corset could be opened from the front - all of that back lacing was my original concern.

[@ohifonlyx33]

@@mgmchicago actually you do have to unlace a corset from the back before unhooking the front. in the case that you may have been laced in a bit too tightly, it helps prevent a bit of a blood rush. But more importantly it helps keep the corset from being stressed out.

I didn't know they doned hoop skirts at that time. But it seems appropriate for evening attire. Lovely!

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

It would have been done primarily for very formal events. It’s a much smaller hoop than what was worn in the mid 1850’s-1860’s. Daywear would have created a similar, but less structured look with an extra petticoat or two. A small hoop skirt would actually be much nicer to dance in then the multiple petticoats that would have replaced it.
