May I provide a German pronounciation guide? Margaretha is pronounced Mar-ga-REH-ta. No th sound, just t sound. The a and e as in Polish, I assume. Von is fon or fonn. Waldeck was fine. You also pronounced Haube correctly at your first try. It's really pronounced like written. Not Hoibe. ^ ^ So, you finally settled on the correct pronounciation. :)
I was about to just go watch your most recent video lol, caught me by surprise while scrolling through the comments. I also agree on the dress being so good, lol, who wouldn’t.
Welp i mean, she probably had german clasess as german is the second obligatory foreign language in middle school in Poland (in high school you can choose a diffrent language like french or latin instead).
@@kosamila4666 it's not obligatory. It is obligatory to learn a second language but it depends on the school - never have I ever had a single lesson of German and I finished school a few years ago. Some schools have German, some Russian, Spanish, Italian etc.
@@anku87 idk man, but i have not really heard of any middle school (at least in my town), wich gives you a diffrent option. In high school? Sure. But other than that? No.
@@kosamila4666 wystarczy zajrzeć do podstawy programowej- nie jest określone czy język angielski ma być pierwszym czy drugim, nawet nie musi obowiązywać. Są szkoły gdzie pierwszym językiem będzie niemiecki lub rosyjski (szczególnie te blisko granic), a drugim zupełnie inny. Mowa jest o tym, że szkoła ma uczyć dwóch języków obcych nowożytnych bez wskazania jakie. O tym jaki to język decydują różne uwarunkowania - położenie geograficzne, dostępność nauczycieli, zapotrzebowanie dzieci i rodziców. Osobiście znam co najmniej kilka szkół podstawowych, które uczą innego języka niż niemiecki jako język dodatkowy lub takie gdzie można go wybrać. A gimnazjów już nie ma. Od kilku lat. Ostatni gimnazjaliści, którzy non omen kończyli szkoły podstawowe z oddziałami gimnazjalnymi są aktualnie w 2 klasie szkół ponadpodstawowych
OH MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DESCRIBE WHAT SNOW WHITE WOULD HAVE WORN IN LIKE 4-8 MINUTES BUT I WAS SO WRONG AND I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED TO BE WRONG IN MY LIFE
When the reveal shots came up, i immediately thought of "snow white strutting back into the castle she was banished from and sentencing the evil queen to dancing in burning hot shoes then marrying the prince"
@@netowarosekai7085 I don't think so. Hers were golden and the punishment for the stepsisters was getting blind and cut their feet off while Snow White is where the evil queen got punished by being forced to wear a pair of burning hot shoes.
oh my god. wow, just wow. im fairly new to your account and i didnt know it was a reoccurring thing to create your own clothes, but truly, i have never been more impressed with a self made gown in my life. it turned out beautiful!!! and so much work, its totally noticeable you payed attention to detail 😍😍
Your "old-ass-city" in the rain looks perfect. We don't have much of anything that legit old-ass in America. The sleeves were well worth the horrendous hours they took, and the head-piece was beautiful too. Overall a gorgeous job!!
You should definitely make this a princess series! I would love to see belle and aurora. Understandable if you don’t seeing as it took so long. I admire your dedication lol
I'm in awe you made this costume on a deadline, the insane sleeves and massive decoration would have me running if you told me it needed to be done at a fixed time. Very nice outcome, the sleeves especially! They should get detailshots for the amount of time you spent on them :) A Goldhaube in various forms is actually still worn with folk costumes in some areas and very, very expensive (takes about 250 - 300 hours of work to make). The source of Snow White could be even earlier that the publication of the Brothers Grimm, because they didn't "invent" the stories, they just wrote down the orally told ones they came across.
This has very little to do with your comment, but the author of Ella Enchanted did a Snow White adaption and it's one of my favorite fantasy books. Can't remember the name right now for some reason
Meanwhile was just thinking I should learn how to add holes to pearls so I can use pearls I shuck out of oysters (cause I like the almost like opening a present you never know what color you’re going to get aspect of Pearl shucking) since I never know what I’d do with the pearls afterwards but maybe I could add pearls to some sewing projects
@@emilyeden_writes I’m looking at a machine now that’s $88, so I might put it on hold til I also have a sewing project it would be good for between the cost of the machine, fabric, and especially the oysters.
Right?! I'm a native English speaker but learned some German in school and weirdly assumed that Polish ppl knew some German since they're neighbors but kinda silly to assume that I guess cuz Poland has *lots* of neighbors speaking other languages
"DO YOU REALLY THINK YOUR LINE MANAGER IS GOING TO SIGN OFF ON A BUDGET WAIVER FOR THE 3 EXTRA SPECIALISTS I'LL HAVE TO BRING ON JUST TO SEW THE SLEEVES AND THE PEARL EMBROIDERY? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT."
It is not useless information if some people are still assuming that making historically accurate costumes means pouring 100 years of fashion in a singular outfit and calling it 16th century
Hey, hi, German here ✌🏽 the Goldhaube is actually a very specific cap from lower Bavaria. It’s heavily decorated with gold beads and thread and the women would put hundreds of hours into the making of their individual Goldhaube. They would then be worn at parades and it was a special honour to be part of such a group. My Grandma used to be a Goldhaubenfrau and I always found it fascinating to see the handiwork that goes into a cap. Lots of Love Anni
If it's the same as in my country, the more elaborate, the higher the status of the wearer. Plainer Goldhauben with black as the main color are worn by the younger women here. To me, (not a Goldhaubenfrau ^^), it looks like they add with time until they are mostly fully golden and the stiff upper part (that looks like the tailfeathers of a dove kinda) gets bigger too. same with the chockers around their necks and the decorations on their hems and girdles. When I was younger there was a big conflict among the women in my town because someone tried to modernize the designs as a fashion choice and not as a member of the group and they reacted very aggressively to that. The group is exclusive and not very tolerant of anything not fitting their norms here.
@@chemina8541 It is actually nice to hear that the art and integrity of the past is so zealously defended. Our hostess would have very little to direct her in recreation and honoring of the histories without such determined curators.
@@evansfamily8156 True^^ I admire their dedication to living cultural past - I could have done without the public shouting matches. It wasn't reflecting well on any of the participants.
Well, as a scholar of fairytale-ology, I have a hypothesis that the evil queen has resurrected herself and cast a curse on karolina to try and erase the memory of her stepdaughter, Snow White
"The other castle didn't let me in" When Karolina said that I just imagined her in front of a castle in her Snowwhite dress, holding a battering ram, trying to tear down the gates like "Let me in, let me iiiiinnnnnn!"
Karolina: I hated literally every part of this project. Also Karolina: it was a really fun project. This is the way I feel about all my creative projects.
That would be amazing, but a lot of people tend to make Belle into a wannabe Marie Antoinette, whereas the original novel La Belle et La Bête was originally published in 1740, and the abridged version was published in 1756, which would mean around mid 18th century fashion (so no tall hairstyles).
My boyfriend during the final reveal said 'If she doesn't bite an apple I'm going to kick right off' and then you bit an apple and he was like 'hell yeah'. Loved this so much meme mom.
I want a series of Poor Time-Travel Seamstress with each episode about one agent with a simple request that actually takes a gargantuan amount of work to do. She would actually finish the wardrobe in time… but in the end, she’d always see one wrong detail that she’d just leave on there anyway 😑
If Snow White's design had been historically accurate, the animators would have stormed out of Disney and quit en masse. You made a truly beautiful garment. I can't even imagine having to do this all by hand. Seamstresses and tailors were genuine badasses, in my opinion.
"... the animators would have stormed out of Disney and quit en masse." Oh, you're assuming the animators weren't chained to their desks and not released until after the drawing of the movie was finished huh? Walt Disney was a harsh taskmaster with a 24/7 work ethic he liked, and thusly everyone working for him needed to as well.
@@robinrehlinghaus1944 random fun fact: Tolkien went to see that movie with his friend C.S Lewis who wrote the chronicles of marina. Tolkien greatly disapproved of the movie and Disney in general, he hated the way the dwarves were depicted. The only thing he liked was the animation.
I know this is months old but the dwarves were likely based on miners who were usually either children or very stunted in growth. It would make more sense if you read Margaritha’s biography (tho as a warning, it’s kinda depressing)
@@autumn7809 this is the most accurate comment i have ever seen in my entire life and i am kinda not surprised that everyone under this video watches the same people
Important note: The Grimm brothers were not the creators of the stories, they actually traveled around Germany and collected old folk tales. They did this as part of their research on language changes. They were not looking for inspiration or trying to write fairytales, they were simply collecting data by interviewing a lot of people from different spans of life. All of the stories had been told for generations, the Grimm brothers happened to be the ones to write them down.
Not fair that I can only like this video once. I'm not even into fashion and I don't know why RUclips made me aware of Karolina, but I'm glad they did. I can't believe I watched the whole thing about making this incredible piece of clothing. This channel is great entertainment and even education.
@@MrVirgilVox oh do go down the rabbit hole of watching everything on her channel, spotting other cool people while doing so (or getting shown their videos by the wonders of the algorithm) and end up following at least about half of all historical costuming/costube channels just like I did 😅 though in my case the gateway drug was miss Bernadette Banner 😁
I just can't stop thinking of her neighbors watching her walk across the street through their windows and thinking "damn it, the crazy costume girl is at it again"
Remember that she lives in Krakow - the old capital city - and in the old town area and it's neighborhood there are cosplayers wandering around - working as a tourist attraction, you can make a picture with them after leaving a tip. It's not unusual to see people dressed like that in Krakow, so that's why people give her little attention. I mean it's cool AF but also a normal part of a landscape.
OMG, I'm from Lyon in France and I instantly recognized the Kranach "portrait of a Saxon Lady" you showed at 4:58 It's in our "Musée des Beaux-Arts" in Lyon and I have admired it a hundred times! I feel like it's a very small world ahahah
Oh Lala, I can't wait to go back to Lyon! I was there mostly for the Musee Tissue in July 2019 but only for a couple of days (very hot). So glad I went then. My best to your beautiful city. [Oh hell yeah I planned my 6-week trip to Europe around visiting a textile museum.]
Wow. I am so amazed at your dedication and skill. This video also made me realize just how much the nobles are FLEXING in these portraits cause holy shit you would have to be so rich to have such elaborate dresses made for you
"I couldn't sew for three days because my cat was sitting on my chair." Yep, that's what happens. The cat cannot be disturbed. Nothing you can do about it.
I love how resignedly you explain the descent from “perfectly accurate” to “accidentally polyester” to “well, that’s just too hard and not worth it” to “no clue if this is historical in the slightest” and yet it still took like MONTHS of precise, concentrated effort and skill. Ballad of the overachiever.
Watching this video made me realize that Snow White probably had to make her own dress while she was imprisoned. Cause the queen hated her, so I doubt the queen would have Snow White's clothes tossed in her cell. She most likely had to probably sew her clothes as she grew. That sounds tough to stay clothed while making adjustments to clothes on your body.
@@OfficialROZWBRAZEL Well, if Snowwhite was imprisoned all her life, I don't know why they let her out of the cell to begin with, if she needed to be killed.
Please remember that our country is NOT young or new. I am Native (Choctaw) and my people have inhabited this country for thousands of years. This country had rich civilization for millennia before that 1885 house was built by colonizers.
@@QueenieHugo87 plot twist: the only reason the oldest house is from 1885 is bc that's the date colonizers came there and destroyed all the older dwellings and buildings. But to be fair to OP, colonization shaped the midwest A TON, even most native settlements here in the midwest are a result of dislocation from centuries of land disputes and penultimately the indian removal act (case in point, Choctaw populations mainly settled in what's modern-day Mississippi/Alabama until the 1800s). Being perfectly aware of the fact that people have lived here for thousands of years, there still isn't much physical history to show of it, and what's left is hard to find and disconnected to the people of today because of all the genocide and arbitrary landgrabbing and homesteading that pushed and pulled people around all over the place. Plus, alongside that colonizing our tribes changed a lot too, basically adopting most european building methods or adapting them to suit their means (especially the "five civilized tribes" that includes Choctaw who were pretty early adopters) so most of what survives from our cultures is still the european influence and dates to the same time as well. Sorry for the long post, I just mean that it really is difficult to find pre-19th century ANYTHING in the midwest that isn't A) an archeological dig site B) literally native-owned, sacred, and/or somewhere you aren't allowed to film or C) converted into a museum.
This a cute conversation! How come you’re crying darling? The only historical landmarks in my city are churches made during colonization, so who cares?
Lots of Polish buildings were destroyed during IIWW, many of the current ones are reconstructions of the historic ones But maybe Cracow (the place where it's filmed) is preserved better
This was actually part of the sewing youtubers shared disney project. She linked the other participating youtubers in the description. My favourites were made by Sewstine, Bernadette Banner and Rachel Maksy :D
If any of you are still after the series someone did put one together! That’s how I saw your comment ❤❤🥰 im about a year slow but I got there eventually haha ruclips.net/p/PLiN9xlndUXLk_B_xwaScE9vHXmNuTqGFt
As a german who is a tailor, the 'hemd' is a chemise that was ruffeled made from cotton or silk worn as an undergranment. It was very thin even transperent. That's probably why it shaped up so well when worn with shapewear.
I'm just someone learning German on Duolingo (so really, really low point to make any claims) and they said Hemd is just shirt. So is it as with other cloth's names that it meant something and then piece of clothing changed but the name stayed? I mean, in polish "koszula" (shirt) used to be some kind of undergarmet (not tailor nor recreationist in the slightest) but now it is worn as, well, shirt, buttoned upper body cloth. Is this the same?
@@ololo518 Yeah, it is one of those terms that do have a specific thing that they refer to but have a much broader meaning colloquially. "Hemd" in everyday conversations mostly means a (dress/button-up) shirt.
It's incredible how Karolina never went to school or anything for fashion history and yet she can plan and sew a historically accurate 16th century gown
Reminds me of the time I was watching this solo music artist livestream. He was listening to and explaining the concept behind his first album, and to put off talking about this song he didn't like he told us almost his whole life's story and how he got into music.
I would never dare attempt this for the simple reason that I would start researching 16th century gown construction and end up crawling though an article on late victorian rat genetics while sobbing
Me: *has a loosely fleshed-out historically set Snow White OC whom I imagine wearing Cranach gowns* Karolina: *uploads this video* Me: “How do I make this an official holiday?!”
@@yourlocaldemon2195 Thank you! A week ago was the second anniversary of my daughters death. She was a bee fan and I use it now in my emoji sign off in memory of Laura. Bees do a wiggle dance when communicating to the hive the position of flowers. The direction they face is the where and the waggle says how far. I always thought it looked like a happy little dance saying “good news I found some flowers for lunch!” 💕🐝 PS Laura would have loved you Princess Brave name!
@@amazinggrace5692 Oh, I am so sorry for your loss, I hope she can befriend all the bees in heaven! And thank you, I would’ve gladly given the name to her. Bee wiggle! 🐝💕
Was suddenly curious to know exactly what damask was, wherein in learnt it was one of the five basic weaves of the byzantine Medieval period, the others being tabby, twill, lampas, and tapestry. There you go: five adorable cat names, perfectly formed and ready to go.
As a German Literature student, this is my time to shine: The Grimms had women come and tell them stories they came to know throughout their lives. Therefore, the fairytales are not "fictional" in the sense that they were invented by the authors like other fairytales but are based on orally passed on stories. Besides that, the fairytales are written and published in the German Romantic period and medieval stuff was a very popular thing back then. Most of the fairytales are believed to be set during the Middle Ages, so before the 16th and 17th century, actually. I don't know if this is the case for Snow White, though. Most sources are pretty divided about the fairytales origins anyways. Another thing is that Lucas Cranach was (and still is) a pretty big celebrity in my hometown and I have been bombarded with his work and achievements my whole life. I am experiencing a mix between excitement and childhood trauma right now
I was about to say the same. I am always surprised that not many people know that the Grimms brothers weren't the authors of the fairytales in there book and that they actually went on a "quest" across Germany to write down these stories.
Quite right, and from a historical point of view, there is evidence that Snow White in the first written evidence was described with "yellow hair", as far as Eckhart Sanders' Research showed, which fit with Margaretha/Margarthe who was shown as blonde. But it is also a part of touristic marketing for the region of Waldeck as the region of being the background of the Snow White narrative, but there are several else who claim that. Maybe you are familiar with the "Hessenland ist Märchenland" concept, were they tried to tie some local folklore elements in fairy tales to some specific regions in Hessen.
@@WildflowerHistory Saarland also has that idea, with a few castles as fairy tale castles. One has Rapunzel's braid hanging out of a window over the moat, and the Sababurg is overgrown at some points with ivy so they went with Sleeping Beauty. :) The Grimm brothers were also really into linguistics and dialects which was part of their folk tale research as well. :)
Tbh Jacob Grimm is our fucking hero man. Dude wrote the first German dictionary and became the founding father of modern linguistics like it was nothing. But on a serious note and because I got really angry at one of my professors today: German middle ages and the novels that came out of them are marvellous creations of literature and everybody who tells me otherwise has either no taste at all or doesn’t get the books. They are about knights fighting dragons, yes, but they are also about knightlyhood and the moral aspects of it and create such an interesting and intriguing concept of life as an ideal part of society. They are about friendship and fairness and love. And yes, most of the time they are Crazy and ridiculous but I love them with all of my heart and they taught me more about respectful behaviour than Goethe or Schiller together.
"It kind of felt like a waste to embroider pollyester brocade with real pearls, if you know what I mean" sounds SOOOO much like a sassy and shady quote you could say on your next historical reality show episode!!
Nicole Rudolph has made a MAGNIFICENT medieval rendition with two-horned hennin & all - have you seen her series of vids researching, designing and making it? Highly recommend! 😊
It shows why only the rich had these kind of garments... I can´t believe the amount of work, the hours and craftmanship that goes in it. And then there are the pearls and fabrics.
Yes, but the rich also had a dozen people to work on a single gown. Nobles had a whole closet full of needlewomen whose sole job was making, decorating, and then maintaining and mending, their wardrobes. When one person, by themselves, tries to make this stuff, that's insane. XD There would have been one woman whose whole life was just making the undergarments for everyone, another who just beaded the crap out of stuff, etc. etc. Everyone had a place and a speciality so that not everyone had to know every aspect of the whole outfit perfectly. Also, there were tailors in town who made parts of the outfits, shoe makers, etc. Those outfits pretty much literally took a village.
I have such a good idea (I know I'm bragging) for a life action movie for Snowwhite. Someone said it would be an idea to have her be an Albino. Now, I love that idea to begin with. Then I thought, what if you make Snowwhite write to the prince, loveletters, for years on end, as they used to do and the prince is writing her back, but leaving out one detail, namely that he is black. And not just black, but really pitchblack, like close to hyperpigmentation. His people/civilians don't know and have only seen his father and mother, who are mixed and his paintings are edited, to make the people believe that he is lighter-skinned. He is afraid how people will judge him. Here's the thing... Snowwhite is blind. She does not see beauty like others do, neither does she care for skincolours or whatever. She doesn't even know she is different from others and her mother tells her she is pale, but in an ugly way. She believes this, but says she does not care and likes herself despite it all. (Obviously she does feel miserable about being told she is ugly and the mother keeps encouraging her to never leave the forest surrounding the castle or talk to others, as her complexion will likely shock them. She's basically telling her that she can't trust anyone, a bit like Rapunzel or whatshisname with Quasimodo.) One day, she is brought to the forest by the huntsman, but escapes and is now stuck there. A servant, that usually helps write her letters, feels compelled to send one to the prince, informing him that, regretabbly, the princess has gone missing. Snowwhite can't find her way initially, but listens and 'talks' to the animals to guide her. A loudly screeching bird, for example, would mean that there is a predator nearby. After a while, she hears human voices and walks over to a meadow with some mountains and a house nearby, where meets the miners. Not only are the miners _also_ minors (children) but also people with limb-problems, the usual deformed men that have not seen enough sunlight. She takes care of their house and food and incorporates better ingredients in the food, so their vitamin-C-Deficiency is gone, hence the reason everyone feels better and healthier and happier when she is around. The Queen comes over and tries her usual. The corset, the comb and the apple. That last one, does the trick. The prince has heard that Snowwhite was in danger has been taken away, which makes him decide to look for her. He is wearing a knight's armor and steps into a carriage and makes a servant wave for him, showing a brown-ish hand to the public and not his own. He spends the whole trip hiding away, wanting to help, but terrified of what the public might do if they spot him. Once Snowwhite is in her glass coffin, and the prince finds her, he finally takes off his helmet, shows the world his face and he's crying. He begs for the miners to gift her to him, so that she can be put in his father's castle, in the burial-side that they have there. They agree it is safer there, and help him load the casket on the carriage. That's when the witch shows up, the Queen, who attempts to rob Snowwhite back (she's seen that there is still life in her and wants to end that life nów) and she bewitches and pesters the horses in front of the carriages. Two break loose and the carriage is pulled forward, the casket falls down and shatters into a thousand pieces (dramatically done with Snowwhite slow-mo-floating in the air, surrounded by glittering, sharp glass.) Snowwhite is thrown on the floor by the impact, covered in small cuts, but seemingly okay. She wakes up slowly, the miners help her to realise what's going on, while her prince jumps on a massive Frysian horse (google them, they are amazing) and gallops after the Queen. She either gets stabbed or Snowwhite does something...I'm not sure yet. I don't know, I don't like the whole 'Snowwhite happens to be a sword-fighter' idea that Kristen Stewart's movie had, but she can't just sit on the ground in shards of glass either. Either way, they defeat the queen, reunite recognise eachother from the letters and kiss. There will be symbolic animals reuniting too, a black and a white swan swimming in the lake behind them, showing that nature has black and white animals and both are welcome in this world.
@@Elietaisfairy it made sense of sorts, but once I k ow it’s chef that makes so much,ore sense. Glad I’m not alone. Although the close captioning’s “Jeff’s kiss” is best of all. 💕🐝
Absolutely wonderful dress. You did such a good job. Yes, I realize you are not satisfied with it, but thats what a good designer does. I really didn't care "what Snow White would actually wear" - I cared more about watching your take on it and your honesty and sense of humor plus solid knowledge to back it up. And was not in any way disappointed. Good job!
To be fair, most youtubers I follow spend untold hours (read: weeks, probably) on research before shooting. Then they write the scenario, shoot, re-shoot, re-shoot again... and then edit. Possibly create a set or sets in between. It can easily become a full time job.
let’s appreciate all of the sacrifices meme mum made for her meme children from sewing on all those pearls to having to redo the skirt. the dress looks amazing!!
I was studying Anne of Cleves and her siblings, and the Cranach portrait of her sister Sibylle made me go wait a minute....sure enough, it's in this video, and the final result looks a lot like her dress! This feels full circle to me 😌
Hey Karolina - if you ever get the chance to visit Walt Disney World during one of their Halloween parties, you should absolutely do it because for those events, they allow adults to dress in costume and you wearing this dress there would be the most BADASS thing I can possibly imagine.
I thought they didn't let adults in costumes similar to the characters in like that because there are employees acting as the characters in costume inside..
Growing up in the 90s watching all those Disney films on VHS pretty much made me think they were all from the 90s until I grew up and realized many were old af lmao

Hi
Well in all fairness it's a 40 minute long video
I'm gonna watch it all
May I provide a German pronounciation guide?
Margaretha is pronounced Mar-ga-REH-ta. No th sound, just t sound. The a and e as in Polish, I assume.
Von is fon or fonn.
Waldeck was fine.
You also pronounced Haube correctly at your first try. It's really pronounced like written. Not Hoibe. ^ ^
So, you finally settled on the correct pronounciation. :)
Tauriel Daughter of Mirkwood
Hey an Austrian here: The way you decided to pronounce „Haube“ in the end is correct and absolutely perfect 😘
@@johannageisel5390 WUNDERBAR
I'm not German so I hope google translate worked right
not knowing how to pronounce "Haube" and then giving up and pronouncing it perfectly without knowing it is honestly so iconic
German pronunciation is accually closer to Polish than English so Poles can read German easily when they give up on English habits :D
That moment when the given up version was correct though ☺️

hi
As a german person, i really appreciate how you tried to speak out the german words properly :D
Even better was how she succeeded at it XD
Welp i mean, she probably had german clasess as german is the second obligatory foreign language in middle school in Poland (in high school you can choose a diffrent language like french or latin instead).
@@kosamila4666 it's not obligatory. It is obligatory to learn a second language but it depends on the school - never have I ever had a single lesson of German and I finished school a few years ago. Some schools have German, some Russian, Spanish, Italian etc.
@@anku87 idk man, but i have not really heard of any middle school (at least in my town), wich gives you a diffrent option. In high school? Sure. But other than that? No.
@@kosamila4666 wystarczy zajrzeć do podstawy programowej- nie jest określone czy język angielski ma być pierwszym czy drugim, nawet nie musi obowiązywać. Są szkoły gdzie pierwszym językiem będzie niemiecki lub rosyjski (szczególnie te blisko granic), a drugim zupełnie inny. Mowa jest o tym, że szkoła ma uczyć dwóch języków obcych nowożytnych bez wskazania jakie.

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DESCRIBE WHAT SNOW WHITE WOULD HAVE WORN IN LIKE 4-8 MINUTES BUT I WAS SO WRONG AND I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED TO BE WRONG IN MY LIFE
Yeah, I really thought the video was over at 10min
When the reveal shots came up, i immediately thought of "snow white strutting back into the castle she was banished from and sentencing the evil queen to dancing in burning hot shoes then marrying the prince"
Wasn't the burning hot shoes Cinderella ( Aschenputtel)?
Nah, Cinderella had the pigeons from the hazel tree on the grave peck out the stepsisters‘ eyes at the wedding.
The embodiment of ✨Pop👏🏻off👏🏻queen👏🏻✨
@@netowarosekai7085 I thought it was that the sisters cut off their toes and heals?
@@netowarosekai7085 I don't think so. Hers were golden and the punishment for the stepsisters was getting blind and cut their feet off while Snow White is where the evil queen got punished by being forced to wear a pair of burning hot shoes.
oh my god. wow, just wow. im fairly new to your account and i didnt know it was a reoccurring thing to create your own clothes, but truly, i have never been more impressed with a self made gown in my life. it turned out beautiful!!! and so much work, its totally noticeable you payed attention to detail 😍😍
Your "old-ass-city" in the rain looks perfect. We don't have much of anything that legit old-ass in America. The sleeves were well worth the horrendous hours they took, and the head-piece was beautiful too. Overall a gorgeous job!!

This is so beautiful and intricate!! Even making the strings??? Your dedication is unmatched and the result is so so so so beautiful!!!!
You should definitely make this a princess series! I would love to see belle and aurora. Understandable if you don’t seeing as it took so long. I admire your dedication lol
I've never been able to stay on one project for a week. You are amazing just for that
I'm in awe you made this costume on a deadline, the insane sleeves and massive decoration would have me running if you told me it needed to be done at a fixed time. Very nice outcome, the sleeves especially! They should get detailshots for the amount of time you spent on them :)
A Goldhaube in various forms is actually still worn with folk costumes in some areas and very, very expensive (takes about 250 - 300 hours of work to make).
The source of Snow White could be even earlier that the publication of the Brothers Grimm, because they didn't "invent" the stories, they just wrote down the orally told ones they came across.
Amazing and beautiful. Love all the research, your design and patience to complete this complicated project.
Oh my God, love this so much, the photo shoot was impeccable ♥️
That is sooo ROYAL!
I'm living for the sleeves. Beautiful work meme mom
This makes me want a historical fiction movie of Snow White, like Ever After did with Cinderella.
I would love this! I love ever after and I would love Snow White as a live action historical fiction
Snow White: A Tale Of Terror.
This has very little to do with your comment, but the author of Ella Enchanted did a Snow White adaption and it's one of my favorite fantasy books. Can't remember the name right now for some reason
How about that horsehair stiffening for the collar? I love the chaotic energy of striving for accuracy while acknowledging the time-consuming nature

Hey, hi, German here ✌🏽
the Goldhaube is actually a very specific cap from lower Bavaria. It’s heavily decorated with gold beads and thread and the women would put hundreds of hours into the making of their individual Goldhaube. They would then be worn at parades and it was a special honour to be part of such a group. My Grandma used to be a Goldhaubenfrau and I always found it fascinating to see the handiwork that goes into a cap.
Lots of Love
Anni
If it's the same as in my country, the more elaborate, the higher the status of the wearer. Plainer Goldhauben with black as the main color are worn by the younger women here. To me, (not a Goldhaubenfrau ^^), it looks like they add with time until they are mostly fully golden and the stiff upper part (that looks like the tailfeathers of a dove kinda) gets bigger too. same with the chockers around their necks and the decorations on their hems and girdles. When I was younger there was a big conflict among the women in my town because someone tried to modernize the designs as a fashion choice and not as a member of the group and they reacted very aggressively to that. The group is exclusive and not very tolerant of anything not fitting their norms here.
This is so interesting!!
@@chemina8541 It is actually nice to hear that the art and integrity of the past is so zealously defended. Our hostess would have very little to direct her in recreation and honoring of the histories without such determined curators.

Congrats to Karolina for persevering in the face of literally everything trying to stop her making this project, including cats and manufacturers
Months of work did not go to waste. The dress is wonderful!
And a traumatizing shortage of blue dye
It sounded like there was some sort of a curse!!! Especially the blue dye!
Well, as a scholar of fairytale-ology, I have a hypothesis that the evil queen has resurrected herself and cast a curse on karolina to try and erase the memory of her stepdaughter, Snow White
And castle people, don't forget how she was denied access 😆😬
"The other castle didn't let me in"
When Karolina said that I just imagined her in front of a castle in her Snowwhite dress, holding a battering ram, trying to tear down the gates like "Let me in, let me iiiiinnnnnn!"
Like that meme of “queen liz”!

ruclips.net/video/mNWNq8xnuJc/видео.html
That would be amazing, but a lot of people tend to make Belle into a wannabe Marie Antoinette, whereas the original novel La Belle et La Bête was originally published in 1740, and the abridged version was published in 1756, which would mean around mid 18th century fashion (so no tall hairstyles).
@@cthonisprincess4011 Though, the panniers would be at their largest in contrast to the smaller ones worn in the 1770s with poufs.
My boyfriend during the final reveal said 'If she doesn't bite an apple I'm going to kick right off' and then you bit an apple and he was like 'hell yeah'. Loved this so much meme mom.

If Snow White's design had been historically accurate, the animators would have stormed out of Disney and quit en masse. You made a truly beautiful garment. I can't even imagine having to do this all by hand. Seamstresses and tailors were genuine badasses, in my opinion.
A justified artistic licence, so to speak. They've had more than enough trouble animating Herr Florian and the dwarfs anyway.

Oh, you're assuming the animators weren't chained to their desks and not released until after the drawing of the movie was finished huh? Walt Disney was a harsh taskmaster with a 24/7 work ethic he liked, and thusly everyone working for him needed to as well.

@@robinrehlinghaus1944 random fun fact: Tolkien went to see that movie with his friend C.S Lewis who wrote the chronicles of marina. Tolkien greatly disapproved of the movie and Disney in general, he hated the way the dwarves were depicted. The only thing he liked was the animation.

Important note: The Grimm brothers were not the creators of the stories, they actually traveled around Germany and collected old folk tales. They did this as part of their research on language changes. They were not looking for inspiration or trying to write fairytales, they were simply collecting data by interviewing a lot of people from different spans of life. All of the stories had been told for generations, the Grimm brothers happened to be the ones to write them down.

Remember that she lives in Krakow - the old capital city - and in the old town area and it's neighborhood there are cosplayers wandering around - working as a tourist attraction, you can make a picture with them after leaving a tip. It's not unusual to see people dressed like that in Krakow, so that's why people give her little attention. I mean it's cool AF but also a normal part of a landscape.

Watching this video made me realize that Snow White probably had to make her own dress while she was imprisoned. Cause the queen hated her, so I doubt the queen would have Snow White's clothes tossed in her cell. She most likely had to probably sew her clothes as she grew. That sounds tough to stay clothed while making adjustments to clothes on your body.
She also thankfully had help from the magical birds and whatever if I remember correctly, so it’s not a crazy thought

"We have plenty of old ass 16th century buildings in my city"
**Cries in American Midwest where the oldest house is 1885 and was made into a museum**
Please remember that our country is NOT young or new. I am Native (Choctaw) and my people have inhabited this country for thousands of years. This country had rich civilization for millennia before that 1885 house was built by colonizers.
@@QueenieHugo87 plot twist: the only reason the oldest house is from 1885 is bc that's the date colonizers came there and destroyed all the older dwellings and buildings.
But to be fair to OP, colonization shaped the midwest A TON, even most native settlements here in the midwest are a result of dislocation from centuries of land disputes and penultimately the indian removal act (case in point, Choctaw populations mainly settled in what's modern-day Mississippi/Alabama until the 1800s). Being perfectly aware of the fact that people have lived here for thousands of years, there still isn't much physical history to show of it, and what's left is hard to find and disconnected to the people of today because of all the genocide and arbitrary landgrabbing and homesteading that pushed and pulled people around all over the place. Plus, alongside that colonizing our tribes changed a lot too, basically adopting most european building methods or adapting them to suit their means (especially the "five civilized tribes" that includes Choctaw who were pretty early adopters) so most of what survives from our cultures is still the european influence and dates to the same time as well.
Sorry for the long post, I just mean that it really is difficult to find pre-19th century ANYTHING in the midwest that isn't A) an archeological dig site B) literally native-owned, sacred, and/or somewhere you aren't allowed to film or C) converted into a museum.
This a cute conversation! How come you’re crying darling? The only historical landmarks in my city are churches made during colonization, so who cares?
Please don't lecture me about the history of MY people. I am intimately familiar with where our homeland is and the Native history of the Midwest.
Lots of Polish buildings were destroyed during IIWW, many of the current ones are reconstructions of the historic ones

As a german who is a tailor, the 'hemd' is a chemise that was ruffeled made from cotton or silk worn as an undergranment. It was very thin even transperent. That's probably why it shaped up so well when worn with shapewear.
I'm just someone learning German on Duolingo (so really, really low point to make any claims) and they said Hemd is just shirt. So is it as with other cloth's names that it meant something and then piece of clothing changed but the name stayed? I mean, in polish "koszula" (shirt) used to be some kind of undergarmet (not tailor nor recreationist in the slightest) but now it is worn as, well, shirt, buttoned upper body cloth. Is this the same?
@@ololo518 Yeah, it is one of those terms that do have a specific thing that they refer to but have a much broader meaning colloquially. "Hemd" in everyday conversations mostly means a (dress/button-up) shirt.

Your pronounciation of the German names is quite perfect. "Haube" and "hemd" are correct. At least I understood you :)
Was suddenly curious to know exactly what damask was, wherein in learnt it was one of the five basic weaves of the byzantine Medieval period, the others being tabby, twill, lampas, and tapestry. There you go: five adorable cat names, perfectly formed and ready to go.
This is amazing info
As a German Literature student, this is my time to shine: The Grimms had women come and tell them stories they came to know throughout their lives. Therefore, the fairytales are not "fictional" in the sense that they were invented by the authors like other fairytales but are based on orally passed on stories. Besides that, the fairytales are written and published in the German Romantic period and medieval stuff was a very popular thing back then. Most of the fairytales are believed to be set during the Middle Ages, so before the 16th and 17th century, actually. I don't know if this is the case for Snow White, though. Most sources are pretty divided about the fairytales origins anyways.
Another thing is that Lucas Cranach was (and still is) a pretty big celebrity in my hometown and I have been bombarded with his work and achievements my whole life. I am experiencing a mix between excitement and childhood trauma right now
I was about to say the same. I am always surprised that not many people know that the Grimms brothers weren't the authors of the fairytales in there book and that they actually went on a "quest" across Germany to write down these stories.
Thank you it was so interesting to read ! 💜
Quite right, and from a historical point of view, there is evidence that Snow White in the first written evidence was described with "yellow hair", as far as Eckhart Sanders' Research showed, which fit with Margaretha/Margarthe who was shown as blonde. But it is also a part of touristic marketing for the region of Waldeck as the region of being the background of the Snow White narrative, but there are several else who claim that. Maybe you are familiar with the "Hessenland ist Märchenland" concept, were they tried to tie some local folklore elements in fairy tales to some specific regions in Hessen.
@@WildflowerHistory Saarland also has that idea, with a few castles as fairy tale castles. One has Rapunzel's braid hanging out of a window over the moat, and the Sababurg is overgrown at some points with ivy so they went with Sleeping Beauty. :)
The Grimm brothers were also really into linguistics and dialects which was part of their folk tale research as well. :)
Tbh Jacob Grimm is our fucking hero man. Dude wrote the first German dictionary and became the founding father of modern linguistics like it was nothing. But on a serious note and because I got really angry at one of my professors today: German middle ages and the novels that came out of them are marvellous creations of literature and everybody who tells me otherwise has either no taste at all or doesn’t get the books. They are about knights fighting dragons, yes, but they are also about knightlyhood and the moral aspects of it and create such an interesting and intriguing concept of life as an ideal part of society. They are about friendship and fairness and love. And yes, most of the time they are Crazy and ridiculous but I love them with all of my heart and they taught me more about respectful behaviour than Goethe or Schiller together.
"It kind of felt like a waste to embroider pollyester brocade with real pearls, if you know what I mean" sounds SOOOO much like a sassy and shady quote you could say on your next historical reality show episode!!
I would love our Meme Mom to try and make a historically accurate Maleficent Costume
Nicole Rudolph has made a MAGNIFICENT medieval rendition with two-horned hennin & all - have you seen her series of vids researching, designing and making it? Highly recommend! 😊
The coolest little sidenote--you live in a city with buildings that probably saw those clothes when they were the new fashion.
I love thinking about it!
It shows why only the rich had these kind of garments... I can´t believe the amount of work, the hours and craftmanship that goes in it. And then there are the pearls and fabrics.
Good point!
Yes, but the rich also had a dozen people to work on a single gown. Nobles had a whole closet full of needlewomen whose sole job was making, decorating, and then maintaining and mending, their wardrobes. When one person, by themselves, tries to make this stuff, that's insane. XD There would have been one woman whose whole life was just making the undergarments for everyone, another who just beaded the crap out of stuff, etc. etc. Everyone had a place and a speciality so that not everyone had to know every aspect of the whole outfit perfectly. Also, there were tailors in town who made parts of the outfits, shoe makers, etc. Those outfits pretty much literally took a village.
Seeing this dress at the end I now understand why painters would be fascinated by these dresses and want to paint the women who wore them.
It was also their job a lot of times right? Hired by the rich to do their selfies.
I'm here to wash my eyes after I saw how Snow White's dress turned out in Disney's live in action version (SPOILER: awful). Oh my days… 😌
I have such a good idea (I know I'm bragging) for a life action movie for Snowwhite.
Someone said it would be an idea to have her be an Albino. Now, I love that idea to begin with.
Then I thought, what if you make Snowwhite write to the prince, loveletters, for years on end, as they used to do and the prince is writing her back, but leaving out one detail, namely that he is black. And not just black, but really pitchblack, like close to hyperpigmentation.
His people/civilians don't know and have only seen his father and mother, who are mixed and his paintings are edited, to make the people believe that he is lighter-skinned. He is afraid how people will judge him.
Here's the thing... Snowwhite is blind. She does not see beauty like others do, neither does she care for skincolours or whatever. She doesn't even know she is different from others and her mother tells her she is pale, but in an ugly way. She believes this, but says she does not care and likes herself despite it all. (Obviously she does feel miserable about being told she is ugly and the mother keeps encouraging her to never leave the forest surrounding the castle or talk to others, as her complexion will likely shock them. She's basically telling her that she can't trust anyone, a bit like Rapunzel or whatshisname with Quasimodo.)
One day, she is brought to the forest by the huntsman, but escapes and is now stuck there.
A servant, that usually helps write her letters, feels compelled to send one to the prince, informing him that, regretabbly, the princess has gone missing.
Snowwhite can't find her way initially, but listens and 'talks' to the animals to guide her.
A loudly screeching bird, for example, would mean that there is a predator nearby. After a while, she hears human voices and walks over to a meadow with some mountains and a house nearby, where meets the miners.
Not only are the miners _also_ minors (children) but also people with limb-problems, the usual deformed men that have not seen enough sunlight.
She takes care of their house and food and incorporates better ingredients in the food, so their vitamin-C-Deficiency is gone, hence the reason everyone feels better and healthier and happier when she is around.
The Queen comes over and tries her usual. The corset, the comb and the apple. That last one, does the trick.
The prince has heard that Snowwhite was in danger has been taken away, which makes him decide to look for her. He is wearing a knight's armor and steps into a carriage and makes a servant wave for him, showing a brown-ish hand to the public and not his own. He spends the whole trip hiding away, wanting to help, but terrified of what the public might do if they spot him.
Once Snowwhite is in her glass coffin, and the prince finds her, he finally takes off his helmet, shows the world his face and he's crying. He begs for the miners to gift her to him, so that she can be put in his father's castle, in the burial-side that they have there. They agree it is safer there, and help him load the casket on the carriage.
That's when the witch shows up, the Queen, who attempts to rob Snowwhite back (she's seen that there is still life in her and wants to end that life nów) and she bewitches and pesters the horses in front of the carriages. Two break loose and the carriage is pulled forward, the casket falls down and shatters into a thousand pieces (dramatically done with Snowwhite slow-mo-floating in the air, surrounded by glittering, sharp glass.)
Snowwhite is thrown on the floor by the impact, covered in small cuts, but seemingly okay. She wakes up slowly, the miners help her to realise what's going on, while her prince jumps on a massive Frysian horse (google them, they are amazing) and gallops after the Queen.
She either gets stabbed or Snowwhite does something...I'm not sure yet. I don't know, I don't like the whole 'Snowwhite happens to be a sword-fighter' idea that Kristen Stewart's movie had, but she can't just sit on the ground in shards of glass either.
Either way, they defeat the queen, reunite recognise eachother from the letters and kiss. There will be symbolic animals reuniting too, a black and a white swan swimming in the lake behind them, showing that nature has black and white animals and both are welcome in this world.
This whole process is really the peak of the saying "Beauty is pain."
When Karolina says chef's kiss, the subtitles read it as Jeff's kiss and I love that
I thought she said Czech kiss lol. 💕🐝
@@amazinggrace5692 Meeeeee too! I had to rewind real quick to make sure 😅
@@Elietaisfairy it made sense of sorts, but once I k ow it’s chef that makes so much,ore sense. Glad I’m not alone. Although the close captioning’s “Jeff’s kiss” is best of all. 💕🐝
A historically accurate Snow White is not something I knew I needed, but did.
Maby not conciously but deep down, we have all... always need this.
Absolutely wonderful dress. You did such a good job. Yes, I realize you are not satisfied with it, but thats what a good designer does. I really didn't care "what Snow White would actually wear" - I cared more about watching your take on it and your honesty and sense of humor plus solid knowledge to back it up. And was not in any way disappointed. Good job!
Calling your dad ‘my dude’ killed me 🤣
*starts off worrying about having the wrong type of fabric*
Two months in:
“I’m adding a wire to keep the collar up get off my back”
ohh aurora's 14th century dress would be amazing to see too
This ✨
I am stunned by how much work and dedication went into this project. It's a work of art.
Other youtubers “ok let’s spend 2 h and do video”
Karolina” so I’m gonna spend 6 months doing Snow White dress all by myself for yt”
U r the best
To me it even sounded like it took longer than that
FACT
To be fair, most youtubers I follow spend untold hours (read: weeks, probably) on research before shooting. Then they write the scenario, shoot, re-shoot, re-shoot again... and then edit. Possibly create a set or sets in between. It can easily become a full time job.
"Please just pretend you like me." - A mood that most cat owners can probably sympathize with
let’s appreciate all of the sacrifices meme mum made for her meme children from sewing on all those pearls to having to redo the skirt. the dress looks amazing!!
I was studying Anne of Cleves and her siblings, and the Cranach portrait of her sister Sibylle made me go wait a minute....sure enough, it's in this video, and the final result looks a lot like her dress! This feels full circle to me 😌
Hey Karolina - if you ever get the chance to visit Walt Disney World during one of their Halloween parties, you should absolutely do it because for those events, they allow adults to dress in costume and you wearing this dress there would be the most BADASS thing I can possibly imagine.
Oh shit, i'd pay to see that. It would be awesome.
I'd pay to see this too.
I thought they didn't let adults in costumes similar to the characters in like that because there are employees acting as the characters in costume inside..
@@Future_Pheonix they do only on Halloween days.
@@super_siri Makes sense
the sleeves in the painting look like a cluster of Spiderman masks and now I cant unsee it
Thanks you made me see it-
“By the way I didn’t sew for three days because my cat was sitting on my chair.” This is accurate. 🐱 The reveal is so 👩🍳 💋
Good Lord girl, what you went through to achieve your version of Snow White. Kudos to you for your achievement.
My boyfriend thought this movie came out in the 90s.... about 60 years after Snow White actually came out.
To be fair the film is pretty timeless
Sad.
Well to be fair it was released to VHS for the first time in 1994. I remember there being a big to-do about it. Lots of tv commercials and stuff.
Growing up in the 90s watching all those Disney films on VHS pretty much made me think they were all from the 90s until I grew up and realized many were old af lmao
U can tell the Disney Snow White was set in the 1930s
