Fashion Expert Fact Checks Mary Poppins' Wardrobe | Glamour

Dress historian Bernadette Banner fact checks the historical accuracy of the costumes and wardrobe in the musical film Mary Poppins. She analyzes the Edwardian Period that the film is set in and the various costumes of Mary Poppins, and explains every layer of historical dress from 1910s upperclass English women, from corsets and shoes to gowns and hairstyles.

She always does her best to find things to compliment. It comes off as being doubly damning and I am more than here for it.

[@phily8093]

It's always a bit strange to suggest something is of the wrong period. I can understand that being anachronistic when the style only existed after the period in which it is supposedly set. But to have Victorian clothing in the Edwardian Era? Surely that was quite common. I'm 40, and have clothes going back 20 or more years, and if they're well made and still fit, many more people will have kept their suits and dresses. Do people in charge of making costumes take this in to account, or must everything be exactly of the fashion of the day?

[@vikkilikki8627]

Bernadette: They wore corsets with an hourglass shape and patted the bust to enhance that shape. Illustrator: Alright, so just a straight dress without any shape to it?

[@AadenKDragon]

Ok I like this one. She's great. Have her again. *change the scratching marker noise*

[@Mark_R_Tho]

ScorBug92 let it go.

[@sbcd7808]

ScorBug92 She’s Bernadette Banner she has a KZbin channel. Please go and check it out she is amazing and needs more views.

[@whytho212]

god yes please change that noise. I love Bernadette but that marker noise almost had me clicking off the video really fast

[@cherryhill9055]

I agree they really need to change that awful scratching marker noise

[@jortslesbian]

@@Mark_R_Tho that was completely unnecessary to say

[@RumMonkeyable]

Bernadette Banner is a shining dress historian star! Eloquently presented accurate information without sounding stuffy. Glamour, you would be very wise to have Ms. Banner do more costume and wardrobe fact check vignettes. As her subscribers know, she's the BEST!!!! P.S. She is an excellent illustrator/artist, too!

[@SwordsmanRyan]

RumMonkeyable not only does she sound stuffy (to me) she also sounds fake. Either she has to push this silly affect all the way or cut it entirely.

[@janicesee__]

@@SwordsmanRyan orrr just watch her videos.

[@gaildahlas]

@@SwordsmanRyan Not really an "affect". It's just good diction with a pinch of eloquence, both of which more of us could probably do with.

[@guidetoanything]

@@SwordsmanRyan I get what you mean, but there are caveats. She says she adopted it unintentionally, because of her frequent trips to live and study in the UK (London etc). She speaks well and enjoys using interesting vocab, and if you watch more of her videos it isn't as jarring as the first. I felt the same way in the first video I saw of hers, I disliked that she was "lying" with her voice type, but honestly I stayed subbed and watched more and now absolutely adore her, I hope she never changes for anyone. Just because she speaks differently than most New Yorkers doesn't mean what she is saying is wrong or unworthy. She knows a LOT of fashion history and loves to share it for free with others online, which is amazing, and any of her quirks just make her human. Just my 2 cents.

[@abigailhuber8435]

Was anyone else kinda thrown off and weirded out by the lipstick shade and lack of cozy apartment?

[@MystiDawn]

I'm alittle thrown by her actually calling it a corset, too lol

[@OYJluv]

The red lipstick looks gorgeous on her

[@xcynicalxfortunex]

bernadette is such a good artist, why didn’t you let her draw

[@erin-eh2sl]

Bernadette is the best you should have got her to do the illustrations

[@michimelody4036]

This is the best of Glamor's "What they got wrong/right" videos! So happy they listened to their viewers & got someone that specializes in the time period in question for the characters the video is about. This is the first one that I feel no need to correct anything.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

An ACTUAL fashion expert!? I live her SOOOO MUCH

[@SwitchelSweets]

Potassuim_Cation go watch her KZbin channel! She makes clothes very similar to what she’s talking about by hand 😊💕

[@dreamskeepmesane2729]

[@Clothmom1]

Hey, that’s Bernadette! Great job Bernadette! What is with the drawings? That walking suit is nothing like Bernadette described.

[@prongsverse]

The way she speaks is so fascinating and enthralling, wow

[@Algorithmicgeneratedwordsalad]

as somebody has been following Bernadette for a few years, you can tell how nervous she is but she still braving through to get her information out in an informative way. very proud of her.

[@kelzbelz313]

Regarding the “entire stuffed birds” Ms. Banner mentioned at 12:35: these highly elaborate hats may have been decorated with birds of paradise and similarly ostentatious tropical birds. The rarer the bird, the more en vogue the hat. This practice led directly to the founding of the Audubon Society. The desire to decorate one’s hat with an entire flock of bluebirds or a cloud of egret feathers was having devastating effects on bird populations.

[@lizm92]

If you're interested in the history of various uses for birds of paradise, you should read "The Feather Thief" which talks about the Victorian-style method of fly-fishing and features a person who robbed an important natural history museum to source bird feathers of this purpose. Amazing read about history and contemporary issues with "traditions" that harmed our world in the past.

[@andreacarpenter8824]

Speaking of feathers... The most expensive item lost in the sinking of the HMS Titanic was $2 million ( yes, I said million) in OSTRICH FEATHERS!!

[@CinnamonCari]

Wow

[@akirasaito1551]

@Tom Sanders wtf are you on

[@KirwanRaemus]

I briefly glanced over the thumbnail and had to do a double take... Bernadette! I am so happy!

[@christinecameron1612]

It actually makes sense that Mary Poppins' "workaday" clothes would be a little simpler, narrower, and older than the fashion magazines, so the old hat is forgivable due to accuracy, as servant women often wore out of date clothes and cast offs.

[@floram9481]

Excuse me as I Bernadette fangirl over here, and I absolutely love the idea of having Morgan Donner do a Sleeping Beauty analysis or getting Karolina Zebrowska or even Cathy Hay to do a segment on here!

[@perikkuma9152]

Her hat being dated makes sense! Didn’t Bert recognise her when he started drawing the iconic silhouette of her hat? They’ve met before, years prior, and she would have been wearing the same hat for him to recognise it :)

[@brianfuller7691]

I love her channel. She is so perky and well informed. I taught history and still write historical fiction. Clothing mattered and still matters because humans wear clothes.

[@rynrose81]

Did anyone else notice that Bernadette usually talks like five times faster? Maybe they asked her to slow down but I love the way she talks in her videos

[@lilianmiramontesjr.7550]

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Sorry but I hope you could do a different style of drawing for these series, the final drawings never really give the full sense what the outfit would have looked like in film.

[@extrae905]

They should have had Bernadette draw them. She is quite the illustrator for costumes.

[@OwlaboveCitylights]

Big agree extrae

[@Msfinable]

It's not supposed to resemble the outfit on film, but what it should have looked liked had it been done historically accurately

[@maxoweenie]

Msfinable THEYRE drawn horribly and don’t allow you to see what it would look like if it were translated to film.

[@lizzieophelia]

Seeing these illustrations in the same video as Bernadette, knowing her drawing style, made me wish they had asked her to do it. Not to mention the walking suit looked more 1920's than 1910. They neglected the Edwardian silhouette features that are in the back!

[@espere_]

Great critique, Bernadette! ❤️ Who better to do this video than our own modern Edwardian? If only they had asked her to do the illustrations, too!

[@bakawilliams3634]

It’s Bernadette, (historically accurate) lads!!!

[@itdano]

A very interesting video. But, I must point out that Bernadette doesn't take into account that Mary Poppins is a Timelord and some deviation in historical accuracy should be forgiven as she was bound to get a few details incorrect. :D

[@sukanan3889]

Dan Luedke well technically 😂 she said on her instagram that they cut out a time lord joke she did!

I was wondering why she was tilting slightly, then I remember Bernadette has a form of scoliosis

[@elle-izalogan9372]

Amazing, amazing, amazing! 😍My only point of critique: The lovely Bernadette should have drawn the illustrations. She has a very delicate, sophisticated style of drawing mannequins and fashion, the ones you used looked way too cartoony for the interesting topic and well-spoken delivery.

[@jasminey1589]

Elle-Iza Logan she may not be comfortable with digital illustration

[@elle-izalogan9372]

@@jasminey1589 That's true. Then again it's no big deal to digitalize a drawing. I guess it's about maintaining a consistent style throughout their series, and maybe an existing contract with a designer.
