One of my favourite stories about a wedding dress is, in the 1940s a woman made her own wedding dress from her husband's RAF parachute and then after the wedding she died it a blue colour so she could use it for a going out dress but she kept a piece of her wedding dress white, added a lace border and carried it as a handkerchief for the rest of her life.

You just can't let anyone ELSE know you know about emails... though to be fair, THEY won't know what emails are unless they're another time traveller, so you're pretty safe.

[@michellem9444]

Interesting bit of trivia about the color blue in medieval Europe: the Virgin Mary was always painted in blue because it was the most expensive paint color at the time. That shows the importance of the Virgin Mary in medieval artwork. I wonder if the blue used to tint cloth was as expensive? Probably not, if it was commonly used.

[@kennashey]

The production of the woad plant (which is where blue dye is from) tooks days to process from harvesting to dyeing the cloth. So, in fact, yes it was expensive to make and was reserved to the noble and knight classes of the time. In fact, there was laws that said who could wear what color and type of cloth. Look over at Absolute History channel on YT for more information!

[@michellem9444]

@@kennashey Great, thanks for the info! :)

[@meeeka]

If not woad, ground lapis lazuli --somehow-- could be used to make color as well. Given that lapis comes from Afghanistan, it was TOTALLY expensive.

[@AnnalyFaith]

All blues were expensive wether paint or dye. Only the rich and royal wore them hence the colour royal blue, for the above mentioned reasons. That's also why Mary is in blue, to show her value. The purity aspect is a modern addition/interpretation.

[@SpringStarFangirl]

Woad actually wasn't that expensive. More expensive would be the imported indigo. The reason kermes crimson and cochineal scarlet, among others such as Tyrian purple and, indeed, indigo, were so expensive to come by was that they were colorfast, meaning that they didn't fade. Everything took a long time during those days, so the process of dyeing with woad taking a while is no surprise. Medieval peasants often wore surprisingly bright colors, if ones that did need to be re-dyed after a few washes (though they did _not_ wash their clothes as frequently as we do, since it would occupy an entire day of labor.) So bright greens and blues? Definitely an option.

[@rachelarruda1475]

As a historic costumer and fashion history nerd, I really enjoy the level of ACTUAL research Saf puts into these videos! Sometimes, KZbinr versions of "fashion history" can be cringe af but she totally nailed it!! :)

[@BorbaColen]

Yes, def much better than avarage, but I really miss the undergarment from the Victorian dress, the silhouette is just not there because of it.

[@avacatherine5646]

As another fashion history nerd I absolutely agree! All I’d say is the 1890’s sleeves also appeared in the 1830’s originally and 1860’s. Though tbh I’m nitpicking! I agree that this is an amazing video and Safiya totally killed it!

[@carlystorrer8272]

Yeah the Victorian dress could have been so freaking killer if she had put on the proper undergarments. Everything else was awesome though!

[@Stephanie-vn6ir]

She sure did nail it! I am in my mid-50s growing up next to a Catholic Church almost every weekend they were weddings. Me and my sisters used to sit on a wall across the street, just to see the Brides. The cars were covered in tissue carnations and the cars would honk like crazy when the wedding was over. It was beautiful! That was the 60s 70s and 80s. In Chicago😃

[@kennashey]

Yes, unfortunately it has been vilified by many a person both in fashion and medicine. I love wearing my modern corset, though I do NOT tight lace at all!

[@careyannesh]

No. I hate to disagree but as someone who did two years of extensive research for their phd into the injuries and deaths (yes, deaths, a lot of them) directly caused by the long and short term wearing of corsets and girdles (by both women and men) through multiple periods of history, including x-rays, photographs, drawings and physicians’ descriptions of horrific injuries sustained, I can speak with some authority when I say that over history, not only have corsets been generally uncomfortable, sometimes they physically maimed you and sometimes you died.

[@careyannesh]

@@kennashey Corsets have been ‘vilified’ by medicine because physicians have copious amounts of conclusive evidence of corsets causing short term injury, chronic injury and death. I researched this extensively for my phd thesis. The evidence took me almost two years to compile and analyse. There’s a LOT of it.

[@RandomHuman-yp7lt]

@@careyannesh I have a question, Do most of these accounts of deaths by wearing a corset is caused by tightlacing or just by wearing a corset without any tightlacing? Not trying to throw shade or anything but I am just genuinely curious because I have heard about people who are actually wearing corsets based on surviving corset patterns from the victorian era and they said that they usually don't tightlace but they are still not injured or experiencing any discomfort for years of wearing a corset. I am a bit confused because I am still an ameteur in fashion history but if you could explain it to me it would be really helpful.

[@laurakastrup]

@@RandomHuman-yp7lt by tightlacing. However the true villain in this story is the fashion industry as tightlacing WAS the trend of the time. Lacing a corset tight can cause breathing problems for a woman since the corset bones (back then) was made of WHALE and thus didn’t allow you to breathe in and out, not only that it also caused deformities in babies as expecting mothers were still expected to wear their corset which CANNOT be good for the child’s body. There’s a KZbin video that “explores the Edwardian home and culture and fashion” where the host tries wearing this type of corset and almost passes out after walking up and down a set of stairs after 10 minutes Now Modern corsets are generally made of expanding material that allows you to… breathe, and you can untie them yourself (another thing that wasn’t trendy back then) as well as Tight lacing isn’t fashionable anymore. Yes women would pass out and die from wearing corsets because they literally suffocated

@@annanardo2358 Sometimes we just had to come up with something. Parents had more influence over the whole wedding… By the way, I’m not the OP bride, but I went to and worked a lot of weddings. Remember the ‘60s and a fair amount of the ‘70s was about turning away from the Establishment. Bare feet, peasant or cottage core wedding dresses… People didn’t even go to proms for a while. Very uncool. Then that all flipped like a switch within a couple of years, and the opposite way of celebrating began to G R O W. So, say one was going to prom in…1982. All this formal wear and the limos and …all of it? It was just starting up again. Of course, by 1987, the pendulum was continuing to swing …waayyy into an excess of everything. That effect flooded into the celebratory fashions. ‘Tis the way of things throughout most of history. Hope that answers things a bit.

Angela Smith it is historically accurate. She just didn’t wear a corset

[@angelinageorge9526]

They are both good

[@CrazyCatBeanie]

got2letudown if you watch Bernardette Banner’ Lady Sherlock series here on KZbin, you’ll see that the corset doesn’t actually change the size of the waist, it’s the extra padding that the women added between every layer (the chemise and drawers/pair-of-combinations; the corset, stockings and rump/bustle (which are pretty much just butt boosters); the blouse and skirt; and then the coat and shoes). Just watch the corset videos she made for more info, she explains it so much better and I’m just paraphrasing here.

[@felicityguillen]

@@CrazyCatBeanie I love Bernadette. But then again a dress over a corset would still look different from a dress over a modern padding or bra. The corset still gives structure (it is made by whale bone and had a lot more stiffening agents).

My parents got married when I was a kid, in the year 2000. They took a plane to New York from Dublin to get married non religiously (it was a rigorous process here in Ireland at that time). They stayed one night before the wedding and then right after signing the sheet they went straight to the airport to fly home still in their wedding clothes. Because of the need for mobility and comfort, and also the casualness of the ‘ceremony’, my mother wore a knee length strapless dress, and had a fake bouquet which she still has in a vase in her kitchen. Honestly I think her dress was really pretty, it’s held up well because of how simple it was. Just thought I’d share that story because I think it’s pretty interesting!

We used parachute silk to make wedding dresses during the war in the UK, if we could get hold of it. It wasn't nice - it was cold and slippery and not very easy to sew or to wear, but with clothing rationed, and "Utility" standards enforced to safe fabric, it was that or a very restrained "afternoon frock".

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

It was not unusual for brides to pool their clothes ration coupons to make one wedding dress and take turns wearing it. I know of one case where the same dress was worn by 12 different brides. Even Princess Elizabeth depended on donated fabric ration coupons for her own wedding dress.

[@i.elpunkt8473]

⁠@@serahloeffelroberts9901actually, While she had received donated rations by women all over the UK, she had to return those ration cards, because it was illegal to give them away in the first place. She used her own ration cards, the UK government allowed her 200 extra rations though.

Hiya! Professional editor here to weigh in and say spelling *does* matter, but situations do too. Writing is like dressing. Sometimes you're writing in a suit and tie (or, I suppose to phrase it for this video, a big, poofy dress) and sometimes you're writing in sweat pants. My job is really just making sure people don't look a fool wherever they're going unless they're making it their own fashion choice. However. Internet comment sections are clearly sweat pants territory, so in my professional opinion, chill out and don't worry about it. :)
