I didn’t realize historical fashion could be so sharp and edgy. Even then Rose was hinting her independent & enterprising nature.

[@jazzroomcabaret]

The red gown Rose wears when she tries to commit suicide is actually a real Spanish period gown which was acquired in Barcelona, in a high design antique and vintage clothing called "L'Arca de l'Àvia" -something like "grandma's trunk" in English -. It was arranged to fit Kate Winslet. The shop is actually very proud for having provided the gown for the movie and they have plenty of pictures of Rose with the gown all around the shop! :)

[@RTCPhotoWork]

It's worth remembering that her family was losing its fortune and station in life according to the backstory. It's why her mother put so much pressure on her and the engagement to the wealthy man. They NEEDED her to marry wealthy, so I'm sure some fashion choices were less expensive than they could have been.

[@chellychels4356]

You actually make a good point which I was upset she didn’t mention. Because of people constantly killing birds for their ensemble, some people began seeing it as barbaric and began protesting it. If rose was a modern thinker for her time, it makes sense she wouldn’t have worn them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@giuf175]

@@coolturtle6286 .. you do realise that people's figures don't change depending on the fashion trend yes? like even if she loses weight she might still have wide hips cause thats bone structure. It doesnt have anything to do with 1912 trends it has to do with 1990s trends of actresses needing to be stick thin even if it wasnt natural for them.

[@coolturtle6286]

guif oh yeah I realize that... I’m just pointing out that maybe the directors/producers said she needed to lose weight so she could fit into the 1912 ideal body shape.... Leonardo was very slender like the men of the 1910s... it was probably a comment over historical accuracy for the movie... now yeah the 90s was a stick thin era too, but I think the director/producers just wanted historical accuracy.. and yeah there were women back then that had hips and curves, but when doing a period movie, historical accuracy is important. Especially a HUGE historical event like the Titanic sinking. Just the way this video is nitpicking the clothing there was probably people on the movie set nitpicking every last detail. That’s just my opinion and none of us were there so we can’t have a true answer.

[@Nikki_the_G]

@@coolturtle6286 Wrong, this is incorrect. Her body type is completely the norm for the age, look at the model illustrations, they were the "ideal" and the same as hers. It wasn't until the 1920's that the thin, boyish frame was idealized.

Instead of a zipper, that dress would likely have been fastened in the back with buttons.

This is one of the best break downs of vintage fashions I’ve seen in a long time. Well done, Glamour.

[@mariaeduardaleite4932]

I would love for you guys to do Mad Man. I feel like there's so many decades to talk about.

[@zoynasty]

My parents got me the Franklin mint Rose doll when I was a kid because I was obsessed with this movie and I was amazed by not only the dresses but I would have to put on all the undergarments of stockings and bloomers and corsets underneath the dresses. Honestly I still have it and play with it I can’t believe I kept such good care of it.

[@ahill4642]

Thank you for mentioning this, I just looked it up and it’s so beautiful! All the dresses! 😍

[@auntyv]

My grandmother was born in Tennessee in 1892. She wore a corset every day of her adult life until her death in 1991. I have a photograph of her with her brother and sister-in-law onboard one of the Lurline Paddle Wheel Steamers on a trip down the Columbia River in Oregon on the day the Titanic sank.

[@ahill4642]

Wow, so interesting! ☺️

[@TheGreekPianist]

What about the “Swim Dress” that Rose wears when the ship is sinking? That and the pink coat she wore over it are my favorite! It’s a beautiful silk chiffon dress with stunning colors and fabrics. It really brought out her youth! 😊

[@thomas4019]

And I read it was a few sizes bigger on purpose, for the character to look more vulnerable when searching the corridors downstairs shouting for help.

[@williamh8694]

Please do a fact check on Marie Antoinette and The Favourite!

[@JC-yy8iv]

Marie Antoinette is deliberately anachronistic, so I don't think it would do well. But it would be fun to see the drawings of what they really would have looked like.

[@tiffanifarrington4039]

That purple hat is my WORLD!

[@wantsomecoffee]

The makeup was so perfect for the film though. To me I didn’t scream 90’s, it spoke elegance. Her face was flawless.

[@HollyCranfan]

That cream suit was amazing. My great grandmother was a wearing similar hat in a 1905 picture so those hats were in style for a decade or more

[@andiesantiago1916]

Greetings all fashion historians, i'm so glad to say that you're wardrobe fact check videos are definitely knowledgable and educational.

[@alejandrarosado8494]

You’re telling me I can do this as a profession

[@ReignBeauofTerror]

Thank you for talking about the hat pins! So often overlooked, despite the role they played in women's independence!

[@aisadal2521]

I always love these fashion videos 😁

[@DJLOOPY2020]

Hi you

[@creamyalmondz]

That movie is timeless despite being based in 1912. That Oscar was well deserved.

[@chesiregirl]

I wore a hobble skirt once for a cosplay, and let me tell you, they're not kidding when they say it restricts your movement. Whenever I travelled in a group while wearing that costume, I always had to have my best friend leading me by the hand so I didn't get left behind.

[@heathercraig363]

The red and black dress she was going to jump in is absolutely breathtaking

[@aliciawatson6923]

Absolutely enjoyed this!! Please Glamour do more with this historian ❤️

[@taaotest]

I love how Raissa always dresses according to the theme!

[@MakeupBySheli]

I don’t know why.. but I think I’m in love with the fashion historian. She looks so.. classic

[@cynthiak.4261]

This expert's delivery is clear and professional. I like her.

[@cindypeterson1629]

Titanic has to be one of my most favorite movies…… this was extremely interesting thank you so much😊

[@ThatBlackPiano]

Please do a Fashion Fact Check on the changing fashions of Downton Abbey & Moulin Rouge.

[@DraRoxDermapedia]

What an amazing thing to be a fashion historian 😍

[@Rachelroberts16]

I admire people like you. I adore fashion history

[@srayj]

I’d love even more videos that look at the clothing of every other Titanic character: Jack, Cal, Molly, Ruth...

[@samanthajudd63]

In case anyone is wondering, here’s a little info on some of the the accessories; the gloves worn with the suit are STILL in production through the Chester Jefferies company. The shoes unfortunately are no longer being made but they were supplied by Pompei Shoe. The shoes worn with the evening gowns were both Peter Fox shoes

[@druidriley3163]

Great video. Would have like to have lingered longer on the images, instead of flashing them by so quickly, thought. Will like to see more of the same. Kudos to director James Cameron for taking the time and money to do Titanic right.

[@patriciaknowles9660]

How lovely he took such time to make costumes accurate what a pity he didn't take more time to tell some of the myriad interesting stories of the actual passengers on the Titanic instead of the contrived idiocy of Jack and Rose.

[@sweetlildevil7597]

@@patriciaknowles9660 They made that movie - It was called A Night to Remember and it was a flop at the box office. There was no way that Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount were going to come together and spend $200 million dollars on telling a similar, boring story like that had proven in the past to be unsuccessful. The challenge for James Cameron was to please the people who loved the ship while also making it a story that people who had never heard of the Titanic could also enjoy. It became the highest grossing film of all time for 13 years and is still number 3 on the list, so he was successful in that. You should go back and watch A Night to Remember though. Sounds like your style. Despite having its flaws it is considered the "most accurate" Titanic film and the one that historians place above all others. I fell asleep to it the first 2 times I tried to watch it but that's me.

[@sallynewman6409]

Sweet Lil Devil That was informed (I assume), eloquent and savage. I applaud your comment.

[@sburris65]

Costumes are one of my favorite things in a movie and part of why adore Titanic. When I'm a cruise I still dress every night for dinner. And the amount of luggage I drag along shows it.

[@melisakoroglu5592]

her brooch is so adoreable!! love it!

[@mastersadvocate]

I never saw the movie, but my friend did. She went on and on about the costumes, and told me that the make-up was wrong for the period. She was always good at spotting things like that! I love Rose's suit and hat the best!

[@incognitoburrito7458]

Can we just talk about how the fashion historian makes the cosplay look so fashionable

[@Redorgreenful]

So perfectly accurate except for the makeup 👌👌 I fell in love with that pinstripe suit dress too 😻

[@kck9742]

I just don't get why the costuming was so perfect, but when it came to makeup, they were like, "Hey, let's make them look like 1997!"

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

While makeup during that period was not unknown it would have been worn by the demi monde and actresses. The most a woman of Roses class would have worn was a discreet dabbing of rice powder.

[@shaunthomason3712]

I think it's interesting that she mentioned the idea of actresses and painted ladies as it was a dream of Rose's to be a "moving picture actress". Maybe a deliberate character choice?

[@botchedlobotomy21]

I wanna see what Meme Mom thinks of this video Edit: Oh my God thank you for the likes! This is the most likes I've ever gotten.

[@kasdoesntdomuch]

Oh absolutely

[@rroyuu7272]

yep

[@moon-cf2vw]

Same but tbh I think this woman is pretty good check out her frozen video

[@rroyuu7272]

Dream7 it has some mistakes but its ok. they should hire a better artist tho

[@maggiedean5691]

All praise the meme mom.

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

I really appreciate they way in which the material was presented with attention to detail. Unusual for a KZbin video with this topic. Thumbs up! 👍🏼

[@crlb23]

Ha! I went to college with Raissa, she's truly this glamorous and capable Every Day. :)

[@Beautyful1493]

I’d love an episode like this about the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s 😍

[@nihilisticbarbie]

So would I, Holly's outfits are marvelous. You don't really see the cocktail party culture around much anymore.

[@francine8806]

Well, the outfits would have been accurate for the period since it was filmed during that period. In other words when it was made it was not a period film but a contemporary film.

[@samanthaallen7556]

@fxntasyland it's still pretty iconic.

[@seaturtlepoppy7679]

Hm ...

[@MossyMozart]

@Beautyful1493 - "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was not a period film. It was placed in the modern era when it came out. Givanchy did a fabulous job!
