No reason whatso ever for not wearing them seriously. lots of excellent patterns & events (after covid) & you can make up your own times & places to wear them NOTHING is STOPPING you except maybe yourself.. we as so lucky in this time - there are no society rules on what you MUST or must not wear. have fun. you can always try history bounding to start like the bodice? wear it with a pair of slacks or a skirt! wear the whole shebang & have fun

Everyone: Staring Me: What? You didn't say the century too!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

In a historical article “The sting of a hornet” one can read, which tactics ladies used for self-protection with a help of hatpins. Especially in Edwardian era ( 1901-1914), when hats grew huge, hatpins became especially long&strong,- over 30-centimeters long creations of rigid steel with elaborate, elegantly decorated heads, not unlike a handle of precious antique dagger.

[@LadyGecko]

[@Fasciseus]

My grandmother took a full year of sewing school to learn to hand make women's "undergarments" at the turn of last century.

[@sandragrace4613]

Yes, and my great Aunt had a fine business making custom ladies undergarments.

[@gigiw.7650]

So beautiful, as always! My grandmother was a seamstress beginning around 1908. At the time when sewing machines became popular, rich ladies wanted their clothes hand made. She worked for one such lady. Can you imagine?

[@SoundShinobiYuki]

Rich ladies always had handmade clothes- ready to wear fashion only began in the mid-1800's and was usually sniffed at by the wealthy as poor fitting or poor quality. The sewing machine opened up more elaborate handmade clothes for even women of modest means, however, since it was much faster to sew on trims, frills, ruffles and all the other fancy Victorian bric-a-brac that the era is so famous for.

My house was built in 1894 by a doctor in a beautiful and historic area of St. Louis, MO USA; he and his wife lived here until their death, no children. I can just imagine the clothing that they wore in this house, love it!!!!! I am so blessed to live in Dr. and Mrs. Carson's house 125 years later! Love your show too, the fashion in those days was beautiful and elegant. Obviously, this dress was designed to see and be seen! I noticed that you are in London, love it there too, and some of your historic houses are 500 years old, maybe more, so my old house is "new" compared to many of your houses. I absolutely love historic architecture and am fascinated by the fashions and transportation in the period of time that a house was built, just fun to think about their lifestyles, their friends, parties, food,.... Movies settings in England on the historic streets and in the gorgeous old house are magical, I can watch them endlessly.

[@zentierra7803]

Your videos are always such a joy to watch! I particularly love how you demonstrate the comfort and mobility that was still enjoyed, regardless of the several layers involved in such an outfit. I tend to find it somewhat ironic that the often _much_ skimpier clothing of today - especially when paired with sky-high stiletto heels - is actually _more_ restrictive...just think of women constantly fidgeting/pulling/tugging at their "body-con" clothing. And running in those modern heels...?

[@animequeen78]

[@SoundShinobiYuki]

@@animequeen78 Also helps keep a waist seam from straining under the weight of a large skirt, easier to fit snugly with your corset on, easier to adjust sizes if it needed to be taken in or let out, and easier to clean and separate into different outfits.

Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always! Greetings Miss. Sarah Baartman was a Beautiful Black South Western African woman from the 1800s, who was made out to be a mockery for the sick jealous envious white man, who had an obsession for Beautiful Curvey Shapely Black Women but the white men in the 1800s would never dare to openly verbally admit to Black Beauty of any knid; the 1800s white men, white women would never openly willingly admit to no type of Tan Brown Black Beauty, so instead of the jealous white men just simply stating that Black Women were Physically Beautiful and that they Have The Most Naturally Curvy Attractive Bodies, instead, what the sick jealous envious white men/women did was make a spectacule out of Miss. Miss. Sarah Baartman by making her take off all of her clothing, her being completely naked and they made Miss. Sarah Baartman stand naked on an open stage, where there was nothing but white men AND! white women in the audience where they all took turns verbally abusing her, verbally wickedly taunting her and just a great possibility she most likely got physically attacked behind closed doors, now it would be a good idea, only for those who are interested in this particular 1800s Black History incite, for you to go and look up, Google and research the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman or go the library nearest you and see photos of this Beautiful Naturally Shapely Curvy South Western African women, and very simply pay very close attention to her Beautiful curves, which is the immediate natural physical build of most of the Black Albino, Light Tan, Tan, Light Brown, Brown, Red, Chocolate Brown, Dark Brown, Brown Black, Blue Black communities. There are the African, American Black, Hispanic, Indian, Italian, Hawaiian women who all are well known to have natural physical shapely curvy figures. They made Miss. Sarah Baartman, A Literal "Exhibit" on A PUBLIC STAGE "EXCLUSIVELY" for the jealous sick white men and for the jealous sick white women. Now to the point of the "bustle" dress in this video, which "IRONICALLY" the "bUSTLE" dress was NUMBERED the number #1ONE DRESS of this commentary of history of dresses; so now, again, if you would just quickly take a moment and go and Google the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE VERY QUICKLY HOW THE "bUSTLE" DRESS IS SHAPED JUST LIKE MISS. SARAH BAARTMAN PHYSICAL BODY SHAPE. Now, Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased in the year 1815, Miss. Sarah Baartman age was only approximately 25 years or 26 years old when she was deceased, she was a very young lady. The "bUSTLE" dress was created in the year 1857, it was approximately 40 years after Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased is when this "bUSTLE" dress was created. You see, the mockery that Miss. Sarah Baartman unfortunately had to endure in the early 1800s, years later became the benefit of the fashion for the white mans forth coming creation and credit of the "bUSTLE" dress. And you know why it became a benefit to the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white men and the guilty("only" those who were/are guilty) white women, it is very simple, it is because of the deep Jealously and Envy for the Beautiful Women of Color for many many years and for many different reasons they are Jealous and Envious. Even TODAY the guilty will NOT HARDLY FULLY AND COMPLETELY AND COMFORTABLY OPENLY WILLING TO STATE Outloud That They Think People of Color Are Beautiful People. Bottomline: The "bUSTLE" dress was a dress that immulated the figure of A Miss. Sarah Baartmans', A Tan/Brown/Black womans physical figure which in fact is what the guilty white men and the guilty white women "Always" wanted, To Look Like Those whom they Envied, so much so that white people began sun/bed tanning and getting skin cancer all while wanting darker skin so bad, butt lifts, lip boosting treatments, braids, they change the tone of voice they spoke in to even sound like the Naturally Tan/ Brown/Red/Black communities, the way they dress, the way the sing and there is much more. But here is the thing, there is Absolutely Nothing At All Wrong With Copying something good of another group of people, the problem comes in at the existance of Jealously and of Envy and The Disrespect Towards The Innocent of Those In Whom They(Guilty White Men AND Guilty White Women, The Guilty, Are Copying. So to this video, cool stuff, but now just be more historically educated about the real history behind the "bUSTLE" dress. One side note: There are many MANY white people who actually have collected black art pieces, paintings and figurines in their homes, in nice display but then walk out of their houses daily with much Jealously and much Envy in their hearts at their jobs at their churches at their social gatherings, it is THAT PART, that is also a problem. Just say you love The Tan/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Community and Move On With Life, It Is Okay To Verbally Openly Admit This, Isn't It? You go right on ahead and Copy The Tan/Brown/Black Community and Love It, and Then Openly Admit It. Simple. And By The Way, No One Is Superior, no one skin color is NOT AT ALL better than the other, God The Heavenly Father created US ALL AND HE Loves Us All No Matter The Skin Color and That Is How We All Should Be. So Let Us All Admire One Another In A Continual Positive Way, Copy Each Other In Fun AND IN BEAUTY and Enjoy Life and Began Genuinely Complimenting One Another Having No Mockery No Jealousy and Having No Envy

[@mockedpickle]

I don't really understand why people are talking about it being exhausting to spend 8-15 minutes getting ready. There's so many things that people spend doing on a daily or weekly basis that would add up to much more than that. Manicures/pedicures, shaving, having hair dye and cuts maintained and styled, 15-25 min. makeup routine, etc. All equally non essential, as being so formal and having so many layers. Chances are most people commenting already spend 8-15 minutes or more getting ready to go out and probably more on average maintaining their appearance throughout the weeks/months of the year.

Even TODAY the guilty will NOT HARDLY FULLY AND COMPLETELY AND COMFORTABLY OPENLY WILLING TO STATE Outloud That They Think People of Color Are Beautiful People. Bottomline: The "bUSTLE" dress was a dress that immulated the figure of A Miss. Sarah Baartmans', A Tan/Brown/Black womans physical figure which in fact is what the guilty white men and the guilty white women "Always" wanted, To Look Like Those whom they Envied, so much so that white people began sun/bed tanning and getting skin cancer all while wanting darker skin so bad, butt lifts, lip boosting treatments, braids, they change the tone of voice they spoke in to even sound like the Naturally Tan/ Brown/Red/Black communities, the way they dress, the way the sing and there is much more. But here is the thing, there is Absolutely Nothing At All Wrong With Copying something good of another group of people, the problem comes in at the existance of Jealously and of Envy and The Disrespect Towards The Innocent of Those In Whom They(Guilty White Men AND Guilty White Women, The Guilty, Are Copying. So to this video, cool stuff, but now just be more historically educated about the real history behind the "bUSTLE" dress. One side note: There are many MANY white people who actually have collected black art pieces, paintings and figurines in their homes, in nice display but then walk out of their houses daily with much Jealously and much Envy in their hearts at their jobs at their churches at their social gatherings, it is THAT PART, that is also a problem. Just say you love The Tan/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Community and Move On With Life, It Is Okay To Verbally Openly Admit This, Isn't It? You go right on ahead and Copy The Tan/Brown/Black Community and Love It, and Then Openly Admit It. Simple. And By The Way, No One Is Superior, no one skin color is NOT AT ALL better than the other, God The Heavenly Father created US ALL AND HE Loves Us All No Matter The Skin Color and That Is How We All Should Be.

This video is by far one of my favorites from your channel! While the cage bustle is not my favorite, the colors and patterns of this outfit were so lovely!! thank you for making!

The whole thing, the dress, the up do with a fringe, the pretty small hat, it is so fetching. Absolutely charming. :)

This was profoundly fascinating to watch! One of my favorite book series as a child was The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are scenes discussing the clothing made and worn by the women in the books (especially once Laura and Mary reached their young adult years) that describe the entire makeup of the dresses, and watching your video brought those scenes to life so vividly for me! Especially concerning the bustle and how it's worn, the hair with the "lunatic fringe" and the switch! Thank you for this, it was very cool to see!

Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always! Greetings! Miss. Sarah Baartman was a Beautiful Black South Western African woman from the 1800s, who was made out to be a mockery for the sick jealous envious white man, who had an obsession for Beautiful Curvey Shapely Black Women but the white men in the 1800s would never dare to openly verbally admit to Black Beauty of any knid; the 1800s white men, white women would never openly willingly admit to no type of Tan Brown Black Beauty, so instead of the jealous white men just simply stating that Black Women were Physically Beautiful and that they Have The Most Naturally Curvy Attractive Bodies, instead, what the sick jealous envious white men/women did was make a spectacule out of Miss. Miss. Sarah Baartman by making her take off all of her clothing, her being completely naked and they made Miss. Sarah Baartman stand naked on an open stage, where there was nothing but white men AND! white women in the audience where they all took turns verbally abusing her, verbally wickedly taunting her and just a great possibility she most likely got physically attacked behind closed doors, now it would be a good idea, only for those who are interested in this particular 1800s Black History incite, for you to go and look up, Google and research the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman or go the library nearest you and see photos of this Beautiful Naturally Shapely Curvy South Western African women, and very simply pay very close attention to her Beautiful curves, which is the immediate natural physical build of most of the Black Albino, Light Tan, Tan, Light Brown, Brown, Red, Chocolate Brown, Dark Brown, Brown Black, Blue Black communities. There are the African, American Black, Hispanic, Indian, Italian, Hawaiian women who all are well known to have natural physical shapely curvy figures. They made Miss. Sarah Baartman, A Literal "Exhibit" on A PUBLIC STAGE "EXCLUSIVELY" for the jealous sick white men and for the jealous sick white women. Now to the point of the "bustle" dress in this video, which "IRONICALLY" the "bUSTLE" dress was NUMBERED the number #1ONE DRESS of this commentary of history of dresses; so now, again, if you would just quickly take a moment and go and Google the photo of Miss. Sarah Baartman, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE VERY QUICKLY HOW THE "bUSTLE" DRESS IS SHAPED JUST LIKE MISS. SARAH BAARTMAN PHYSICAL BODY SHAPE. Now, Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased in the year 1815, Miss. Sarah Baartman age was only approximately 25 years or 26 years old when she was deceased, she was a very young lady. The "bUSTLE" dress was created in the year 1857, it was approximately 40 years after Miss. Sarah Baartman was deceased is when this "bUSTLE" dress was created. You see, the mockery that Miss.

@@nextlevelamazing7865 I've seen that theory / explanation for the bustle dress before and while Saartje's tale is very sad and the exploitation and mockery of black people and bodies has been a huge problem throughout western history (and currently), it doesn't really tie into fashion history that well. For starters there's a 65 year difference between her life and the start of the bustle era. Secondly, skirts became very large and round at first in the crinoline era and then slowly transitioned into a more back-pronounced shape, specifically after skirts reached their biggest size, which is explained most simply by the fact that having a flatter skirt in the front is more practical (as women in those times were starting to be more active). So while I appreciate the highlighting of Saartje's story and think we should remain aware of the fetishization and ridicule of black people and bodies, I wouldn't say it was necessarily a force shaping women's fashion, because that in and of itself ties into a really common myth that women's fashion exist(ed) mostly to emulate sexuality (like people claiming french pannier dresses were made to make women look like they have "birth-giving hips"), which takes away the practical, aesthetic and purely artistic liberties women actually had in shaping fashion.

@@bruh666 Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always!!! Greetings! Thank you so much for your reply and your incite. So, the calculation of the time frame of the years difference is approximately 42 forty two years, it is NOT 65 sixty five as you stated. There are absolutely "Always" happenings throughout the history of the human race that "Absolutely" fashions the way people dress, the way people talk, the way people sing, the way people tan their skin to have a much more darker complexion of skin, the way people began dating outside of of their own kind by skin color and culture, i.e. Whites marrying Blacks and Blacks marrying Whites, Asians marrying Blacks and Blacks marrying Asians, the way people cook their food(white people wanting their food cooked like Black Albino/Tan/Light Brown/Brown/Red/Blue/Black people) such as, white people absolutely love soul food so much so that they have and still are opening up restaurants that serve nothing but Soul Food which is Absolutely Black Albino/Tan/Light Brown/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Communities food, then you have the white people who loved pizza so much so that white people have started pizza businesses all over the world and pizza is of Italian Community, then let us talk about the music, you have white people "never"(no disrespect intended, not at all, just a truth) really knowing how to sing with such soul in the their tone of singing and as the decades have gone by you have white people Copying the exact sound of the Black Albino/Tan/Light Brown/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Communities and there are absolutely so many many many more examples of white people copying off of the Tan/Brown/Black/ Communities, Braids for instance, to even the type of cars, white people never drove cars with rims on them and all of a sudden over years times past, literally the car dealerships themselves started putting rims on the exact same cars that the Albino Black/Tan/Brown/Red/Black Communities were driving and white people started buying these vehicle with rims on them driving these cars just like these other communities, ALL THE WHILE WHITE PEOPLE were CALLING THE TAN/BROWN/BLACK COMMUNITIES "GHETTO" but yet the white communities were driving cars with manufactured rims on THEIR VEHICLES. You see there are just so many many more examples of this where white people copying Black Communities for hundreds and hundreds of decades and still even right now. And your attempt to water this point down is an absolute Disrespect and Dishonesty, as well because your reply is surely "Attempting" to suggest that "Time" is a factor for this narrative not fitting and you are more than totally wrong, the gap in time has nothing not at all to do with how white people copy off of all of the Black Albino/Tan/Light Brown/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Communities. While white people never TRULY openly NEVER take the stance of simply stating that yes we copy off of these communities and yes we like them and yes these communities that we as white people do in fact copy, we love their style and we love their food and that the Tan/Brown/Black communities they really do in fact have style and they really do have soul and their food does in fact taste better than how we as white people cook in general, again, no Disrespect, none at all, see, these are Truths that white people struggle to openly admit, all while still OPENLY COPYING, all at the same time of being reluctant not to ever hardly verbally openly admit that, they, white people, love the Black Albino/Tan/Light Brown/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Communities styles and food. So, Respectfully back to Miss. Sarah Baartmans' Truly disheartening Abuse From Sick Jealous Envious White Men(only those that Were And Are Guilty) and The Abuse From Sick Jealous Envious White Women(only those that Were And Are Guilty); the "bUSTLE" dress became a Fashion statement for the Sick Jealous Envious Abusive Guilty White Men and the Sick Jealous Envious Abusive Guilty White Women, The "bUSTLE" dress absolutely was an EXACT immulation of the shape of A Miss. Sarah Baartmans Body Shape so much so that the Sick Jealous Envious Guilty White Women For Years have been trying to figure out HOW TO GET THAT LOOK, they did not have the MEDICINE AT THAT TIME to give them Miss. Sarah Baartmans" look so they CREATED A DRESS to give them THIS LOOK of THEIR FIGURE AND TODAY NOW THAT THERE IS MEDICINE that CAN CREATE THESE LOOKS, very simply put, THE COPYING CONTINUES. F💡💡D FOR THOUGHT: Remember no one skin color is more superior than the next, NO NOT AT ALL, God The Heavenly Father Created US ALL, We Are All Created In The Image Of The God of Heaven And He Loves US All. There is Absolutely Nothing At All Wrong With Copying Each Other, Just When and While We Copy Take Out The Jealousy, Take Out The Mockery, Take Out The Envy and The Sick Guilty Jealous Envious White People That Are Still Copying these Communities Today Should Start Being Okay With Admitting To You Copying Openly and With Do It Honestly Having No Shame And Let Us All Enjoy Each Others Styles and Foods And Respect One Another All The While Doing So.

@@nextlevelamazing7865 I fully agree in general with what you're saying about cultural apropriation, but I'm not sure where you're getting 42 years from. Sarah died in 1815 and the bustle era started at the end of the 1860's. But regardless, granted that yes that the time gap alone doesn't really mean anything, there's still the fact that the bustle appeared through a slow evolution of the pre-existing silhouette, from the trend of ever widening skirts that started as early as the 1820s, progresing to the huge crinoline skirts before slowly becoming flatter in the front. I agree that cultural apropriation is a widespread problem but I just don't think this is a good example, for many reasons including what I just mentioned. Have a nice day ✌️

[@nextlevelamazing7865]

@@bruh666 Very Respectfully, With All Due Respect, God The Heavenly Father Is Good Always!!! Thank you for reply. GOOGLED: On this day in 1857, a New York man named Alexander Douglas patented the bustle. Now, 1815 (-) Subtracted from 1857 equals (=) 42 years, use your calculator to check for yourself that your calculation is wrong. I do not like the term "cultural appropiation" because there is a untrue negative to the term and that untrue negative is that, white people SHOULD NOT AND CAN NOT copy Albino Black/Tan/Brown/Red/Blue/Black Communities and that is an UNTRUE statement and here is why, Anybody can copy anyone they choose, the only problem is, is that, With The Copying That White People Choose To Copy After, Those of Guilty The White People Communities, They Have Sick Abusive Jealously and Sick Abusive Envy That Goes Along With The Guilty White People Copying After These Other Communities, That Is The MAIN PROBLEM and to the term "cultural appropiation" THAT PROBLEM IS WHERE the White Communities GET PAID HIGH DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR COPYING WHAT THE ALBINO BLACK/TAN/BROWN/BLUE/BLACK COMMUNITIES NATURALLY ALREADY ARE BEAUTIFULLY BORN WITH AND THE BLACK COMMUNITIES GET ALMOST NOTHING AT ALL FOR THEIR ABSOLUTE NATURAL BEAUTY THAT SICK JEALOUS ENVIOUS WHITE PEOPLE GET PAID HIGH DOLLARS FOR. F💡💡D FOR THOUGHT: Your ✌ emoji is a wonderful example of how people are carrying a bit of Sick Jealous Envy, Attempting To Hide It But Eventually like you just did, it will come out and Guilty people Not wanting to ever own up to their guilt about how they need to change that spirit within themselves so that we all can live a more peaceable life with one another, being able to simply enjoy all skin colors, enjoy all cultures and leave all of the Sick Jealous Envy leave all of that alone.
