Fashion Expert Fact Checks Belle from Beauty and the Beast's Costumes | Glamour

I never thought of the dress as a yellow color. My mind translated the color to be gold. And cloth of gold is a real thing.

The House if Worth fashion company made a dress using gold and silver thread throughout to make something called The Peacock Dress. However, it was a custom dress for a queen’s party after her coronation.

they forgot her pockets. pockets were tied on the waist above the bum roll, and all of her petticoats would have holes in them to access these pockets. poorer women didnt have many petticoats on either. if anyone wanted to know, the stays are put on after the chemise so you wouldn't sweat on your expensive textiles. white linens were reserved for upper classes who could afford to keep them white.

Meanwhile every single historical costumer just cringed when she called the stays “corsets” (corsets being the Victorian equivalent/evolution of stays) and said that 18th century fashion isn’t comfortable.

Thousands of historical costumers today wear historically accurate, elaborate gowns and underpinnings with comfort and ease.

And the comfort thing- I totally agree. People say that stays and corsets can't possibly be comfortable, and same with the many layers of clothing. No one I tell believes that corsets don't break bones and cause suffocation, you create the dramatic waist by making everything else bigger. They compare elaborate gowns to sweatpants. Of course sweatpants are more comfortable, but it doesn't make gowns uncomfortable

I just want to say that just because there’s aristocracy does not mean it’s pre-revolutionary France simply by the presence of Aristos. So it isn’t necessarily the 18th century. It could very well be the 1850’s. There were three empires post revolution as well as the July monarchy of the bourbon restoration. France has really only been an actual republic since the turn of the 20th century after the fall of the Third Napoleonic Empire

[@Alexfolledemoi]

You're right. But the AUTHOR of the book set the story in the 18th. So it is the 18th c.

[@savannahberry710]

This is exactly what I was thinking to myself the whole video. Literally France went back to a constitutional monarchy when conservatives took over after the Reign of Terror.

[@Tea_and_Crafts]

I'd like to add that both the Beast and Gaston wear jackets with cropped fronts and long tails. That's a trend in male fashion that starts somewhere around the 1790s with cut away fronts like Lefou's jacket and only gets more dramatic through the 1800s. So yeah the book might have been published in the mid 1700s but that movie certainly wasn't made to look it.

[@MajkaMajko]

@@Alexfolledemoi The original was fairy tale, first published in half of the 18th century. Not set in any certain era. Dresses shown in the video is the second half of the century. And last but not least, Disney definitely not set costumes in that era, because looks so 1840s!

I'm not even a Fashion Historian (taught myself some stuff based on books), but I literally cringed when I heard " corset ". It's called STAYS. Considering the puffy hair, since we don't know in which decade the movie takes place, I'd rather say that the hair would be tied in a late 1760s - early 1770s updo, when hair was high but not too much compared to the second half of the decade. Yet, I'm sorry again but... STAYS. STAYS. STAYS.

[@avesaventinus28]

Well, they could've just lookup when the book was set(1740s) and based it on that. Also, the aristocracy still (officially)existed AFTER the revolution. The kings who ruled after Louis XVI created new aristocrats. There are still French aristocrats at the present but they don't officially exist because there is no monarch.

You would think that she would know the difference between a corset and a stay. You'd think they would teach that pretty early but it's often a mistake people make.

So when a woman went through doors, she would simply fold them down and they would go back up. They weren't super stiff.

Tell that to the critics who kinda slammed Pocahontas even when Disney made it crystal clear before it came out it wasn’t going to come even close to her actual story. One tiny yet rather important detail is what made Pocahontas sadly the most underrated movie of the Renaissance. Though to be fair its one of those movies you appreciate and enjoy more when you’re older because it dealt with more mature themes than most Disney movies, and unfortunately its humor was mostly on Meeko and Flit’s antics and Wiggins being the unevil and slightly stupid manservant who was the purest character (aside Pocahontas) in the entire movie

[@dianaelisa9261]

Also if Emma Watson didn’t want to wear a more restrictive dress because she wanted Belle to be more active in the final battle they should have just done another costume change. In the 1991 film Belle wears the blue dress and not the yellow one during the final scene anyway. They could have had a beautiful rococo style gown for the ball scene then have her change into a sensible riding outfit, instead of trying to split the difference with a prom dress that she still can’t freakin’ run in.

For everyone saying that "Belle's weird, and ahead of her time so she shouldn't be accurate!" Let's be realistic here, I understand the dress is provided by magical talking furniture and that Belle is an outlier, but the fact remains B&B was one of the first princess movies of the Renaissance and. The one most clearly trying to fit the formula of the old ones. Her design was based on Katherine Hepburn, a 40's icon. That is the only reason Belle is wearing a "ye olde peasant dress" via the 1940's and a spectacular ball gown of the one-crinoline-fits-all variety. Simply because they wanted something swishy. Belle's an outlier, cool. She doesn't want to be wearing a basket on her hips or powder her hair - fine. Slap her in a regency up do and a robe anglaise. The Robe a la Anglaise was am 18th century style commonly worn in England. It had a fitted back (as opposed to the pleated back popular in France - the Robe Francaise) and a more streamlined skirt silhouette, usually just supported on a bum roll. There was plenty of swish and you could even conceivably do a Vienese Waltz in one. Why is that so hard?

[@princedonovaughn1182]

Because it didn't fit the look of the character and wasn't the visual story telling they wanted. What's the fun in a fairytale if you have to ruin it with only allowing historical accuracy. It's fantasy. Let the fashion be fantastical.

[@lunaromance2243]

fortunated belles outfit is the most accurate of all

[@gamerofedge8111]

They would've been called stays, and clothing throughout history was actually quite comfortable if it was made right and fit you correctly, no different than normal clothing.

[@_ranituran3161]

Hey, this would be a good and educational series! Can't wait for another princess/prince analysis!

[@mariaturner4567]

more videos like this please

[@christinaify]

Just sort of realized Belle's first song is her walking around the town singing about how much it sucks. That's probably why they think she's weird and hate her.

[@addy3003]

1:36 baby those are stays not a corset

[@silversweet9211]

please more of these! this is a really great video!

[@andrabarcan8573]

Belle's dress looks more mid-1800s American fashion

[@MorganChaos]

i was thinking that. that bell shape is very civil war south.

[@TessaDior]

Loved this! Can you please do more videos like this one?

[@Madi-ub4ck]

What’s next? *mouse expert calls out trueness of Mickey mouse*

[@TheStepmonkey]

LOL

[@jalenaa6895]

Lol

[@__crystal5874]

Now I know why they needed a fan, it's a must I mean look at that dress carrying thousands of layers.. I would die of sweat and heat. 😵

[@curehead9877]

It actually helps your body heat. For summer there would be lighter and more breathable fabrics. So it wasn't as hot as you think it was. And for winter there would be more heavier and more warmer fabrics e.g cotton.

[@__crystal5874]

@@curehead9877 yeah ; I got it.

[@basiclarry6554]

Umanshi Sarkar they didn’t use their fans as fans most of the times, at balls wealthy young women would use fan movements to indicate whether they were interested in a male without having to do it out in the open (especially if the parents were arranging a marriage wtc)

[@mclaire9447]

basiclarry that’s true I have a book with a little section about ‘fan language’ lol

[@Tinaamaro]

We need to watch again the movie to see the other girls characters in the film, because remember; Belle was ahead of her time

[@buzzinginyourears6770]

I'd love to see more of this series!

[@laisosa]

I loved this analysis! :)

[@ohcontraire1915]

SO GOOD. I want more of these and more of April!

[@Pomoscorzo]

You can't take this movie seriously. 18th century France, but they know the Eiffel tower? France only had one king, there were no princes and castles everywhere you looked. Dukes, perhaps, but if one of them had been enchanted the people who worked on his land would have wondered why no one was governing them any more. Besides: the story develops over a few weeks while three seasons change? And: Belle is supposed to be an intelligent, independent "modern" girl, she wants adventure, and in the end she simply gets married? I still love the movie. But it's veeery incongruous. :-)

[@Elensila2718]

I love these videos! Keep ‘em coming, Glamour!

[@shantanupanda1650]

Karolina zebrowska, where you at

[@daniellewelch8913]

This was fantastic. Please keep making more! 👍🏽👍🏽🧡🐝

[@kakoezuka_]

Well, I don't know if every single historical fact in this video it's true, but it apears that most of the people in the comment section are fashion historian just like the woman in the video, for God's sake you guys... Glamour, please, just continue to make this videos with the others princessess and historical movies, it's amazing!

[@erynhofland4744]

I don't mean to be rude, however, while most people in the comments section of this video are almost certainly not fashion historians, much of what she said was inaccurate on multiple levels. In addition to that, It only takes a quick google search to find accurate information about what was commonly worn during that era, and much of her additional historical notes were also inaccurate. She also never mentioned "conspicuous consumption" which was a major theme throughout most of history, and was a definitive marker of the upper-classes.

[@lexjohnson0803]

Please keep making these that was so interesting!

[@Jen-zk9se]

Glamour: “Is it accurate?” Me: It’s a Disney movie bisch!

[@karina_martinez420]

I care.......

[@jackierocha5096]

Please make this a series with the other Princesses! I’d love to see how they’re supposed to look

[@stellaleilani]

You would think that a fashion historian would call the undergarments by there correct names... the thing she called a corset was actually called a pair of stays.... Very different to a corset, which was called so in an entirely different century. And by the way, where are all the pockets?!?! When did I go into and alternate universe where pockets didn't exist in the 18th century!?!?

[@jacuma04]

I felt so smart until I realized that this is the kind of stuff I watch instead of studying for my test tomorrow

[@AriaCadence17]

“This was Pre 18th century” goes on to only talk about the 18th century

[@sage.citrus]

Actually, she said Pre-Revolutionary 18th Century. That means before 1775-ish

[@sage.citrus]

@KatherineHoward Yes ❤️

[@pineappleshavepeelings]

I was just in a production of beauty and the beast, and our costumer did an amazing job of making all the costumes based around this period, with belle and all the rest of the female principals wearing panniers & such. I really enjoyed getting to know more about that time period with these costumes, as most productions go the classic “Disney route”, but ours was very historically influenced.

[@elizabeth2621]

Thank god Its acceptable to wear canton panties and a sports bra for undergarments and call it a day.

[@diahan9896]

OR no bras at all! 👏🏻

[@kimwong305]

YES

[@madisonlaurine3493]

We need more videos like this!!!

[@TheGreekPianist]

Belle would’ve looked ridiculous if she wore those two “accurate” outfits in the film!

[@Telksy]

I literally spent more of this video yelling "STAYS" at my phone than anything else. I have watched too much Bernadette Banner and friends lately 🤣

[@jamenw.2284]

This is so neat!

[@corleeshataylor3734]

I’d be tired by just getting ready😂😂

[@Minyadagniriel]

I expect a film with a mythical beast to not be accurate :)

[@Guguchina]

Its important to remember that the film was made in 1991. The dress looks a lot like a wedding dress made at that time. My mum got marrried in the early 90s and her dress was big with the same neckline like Belle's yellow dress.

[@jannahr282]

don’t forget that this is a movie with magical components lol

[@rosevenom0885]

i LOVE these episodes so PLEEEEASE make more! i'd love to see a Cinderella or Rapunzel episode
