Im not sure if its still there,but back in 2007 at Dunedin, New Zealand, railway station museum there was a section of fashion that had absolutely beautiful old dresses. It was there that my interest grew for such beautiful, incredible pieces of exquisite art ❤. I wish we could have annual dances to dress up like this just for the sake of preserving ladies to look and feel amazing ❤❤❤

Dress of shame

Gorgeous

Lovely ❤

So cute

So very beautiful

That Dior dress top was constructed exactly like a Victorian would have been although of course the design was totally innovative. Interesting to compare to the Norman Hartnell where the construction was using modern techniques like zips unavailable to a Victorian couturier.

Not something I loved but educational to me to hear about why it was picked. Shame series hasn’t continued. And surely 2024 dress of the year would have to be from the Maison Marghela artisanal show. Or the whole show cos that that whole amazing show went viral which is unprecedented. Which I guess is why this piece is important.. The beginning of viral internet really influencing fashion and vice versa. I’m sold intellectually if not visually.

THANK YOU !!

I saw a girl in an outfit like this. It was winter and she looked happy in it but how could bearing one’s midriff to point anyone could reach their hand to your bra be cozy in winter?

I could watch a whole video on that maker’s tag: how they were made, by what member of an atelier, how they were sewn into the garment 😍😍

Я понимаю,такая миниатюрная фигура,поддерживалась диетами?или просто скудной ,по тем временам была пища?без лукавства.я все понимаю.все равно личные врачи были .я,хоть в чем то права?.

The beads are a distraction to the dress.

The dress on the Duchess of Sussex is so iconic. The appliqué is stunning.

The dresses of the British Queen were of course made by French couturiers😅

So will the embellishments added to the first dress be removed, or have they become part of the history of that garment?

She was positively resplendent! She wore more jewels than clothing!

I think she like lavender as a color.

Do we know anything about the provenance of this dress? I recall that Queen Maria Theresa of Austria being gifted a gown of lace by a city known for its lace making in payment of a debt being worth more than gold.

Alexandra was not the Queen Consort in the 1910s. If she was 66 when she received the dress, then her husband the King had died in the previous year. We would now say she was the Queen Dowager or Queen Mother but she was known just as Queen Alexandra. Something not covered here is that she was covetous of jewellery and wore tons of it.

Don't under estimate corsetry!!! for achieving more 'fashionable' shilouettes!

Queen Alexandra was the Diana of her time. Victoria wore boring black and hid away most of the time on the Isle of Wight. When the The new Princes of Wales, who came from Denmark, she brought with her, youth and good looks. She was adored by the British for bringing glamour, colour and joy to Britain.

The seam on the black lace is called an "appliqué seam". It's an haute couture technique used to seam fabric or lace together when the goal is to avoid a straight line of stitching that cuts through motifs. It can be done with lace or with fabric. I did appliqué seams on the skirt of a silk taffeta cocktail dress I made for myself. The fabric had a border design and I didn't want to break up the the beautiful motifs. Appliqué seams are always sewn by hand.

Precioso y delicado trabajo artesanal.

Glad to find these videos. We were in Bath in June and the museum was closed while it’s being relocated to a new location. Would have been nice if the museum could find a way to keep the museum opened in some capacity…

Gorgeous ❤

Lovely..💜

I think her wedding gown ❤😊was gorgeous

Her jewels were stunning too😊

thanx for showing us these gorgeous dresses.

That was NOT Queen Charlotte in that first portrait. Just insulting!

I’m not trying to judge Charlotte in any way but in the portrait, she appears to be too large to wear the dress.

Это прекрасно, спасибо, 🎉🎉🎉

Stunning dresses, wonderful to see. One point for accuracy: Queen Alexandria was not Queen in the 1910s - Edward V11 died in April 1910.

I don't think the title Queen Consort is correct in referring to Alexandria. She was born a princess of Denmark. She would just be called Queen of England. Consort refers to a spouse of the King who was not born a princess. Such as Camilla, the wife of the present day King Charles.

Might it not have belonged to Princess Charlotte, her granddaughter

What has happened to all the royal gowns??

I could watch you ladies all day. I love the knowledge and care you take with the treasures. 🥰💕

The dresses are lovely. The fashion of that era were very flattering for women - it was depicted perfectly in the movie Titanic.

More of this kind of thing!

thank you for showing us!

To think a woman dressed elegantly and not in spandex leggings and bra top.

I don’t know how long it carried into the turn of the century but the second dress reminded me that in Victorian times an evening/dinner dress needed to have short sleeves and a low neckline.

So looking forward to the Museum re-opening.

Amazing! Thank you…

Many thanks! I enjoyed this very much, such beautiful gowns…..
