like a walking airing-cupboard! When I was a kid the airing cupboard did have a lot of voluminous white skirts, aprons and bloomers absolutely covered with cotton tape and rusty pins that I now realise were probably my granny and great granny's underwear, but that at the time seemed to be a cache of unused cotton for bandages, cleaning cloths and craft projects. As kids of the sixties we couldnt imagine people having to tie their clothes on.Now of course I wish they had been saved
The camp in this court gown delights me- it outdoes the early 1830s, so you know it's spectacular! It's also fascinating to compare this to your court mantua for the 1690s; the drapery and tall white Things on curled hair just... echo. It's so ossified and so desperately trying to incorporate Empire lines... I can't blame Bridgerton for Not, but I sort of wish they had
It reminds me a bit of the very silly Barbie doll dome cake you'd get for a 5-year old's birthday. I mean, you did a great job with it but there's not really a way to make it NOT look like the top half of a woman stuck into an oversized cupcake with too much icing.
Oh my word, Queen Charlotte had appalling taste! Kudos to you for making and wearing this extraordinary gown. Of course, at court amongst women wearing similar outfits it wouldn't look so blatant. Isn't fashion fascinating?!
The regency court gown makes me think of something my mom used to say about dresses she didn't like "A tent maker would have made a better job of it." In this case i think Queen Charlotte was just trying to make everyone miserable. The colors in that dress are rather nice tho. and the sleeves are rather nice. that's me trying to look on the bright side. :)
I love it in a campy "so bad it's good" sort of way, though it's certainly a bit more flattering when the panniers aren't hiked up as high as they were in the fashion plates. Also, have you ever considered doing a French grand habit de cour from the 18th century?
honestly i think this silhouette is underrated, the empire waist with voluminous skirt is fantastic, i wish we saw them later with the round crinoline i prefer
That’s such an unusual silhouette. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t look quite as silly as the fashion plate made it look. At least, no more so than the 1740s gowns. I loved the red silk. It was absolutely beautiful. Also, did you get a new microphone? I was able to hear you very clearly, but there was some weirdness going on in the background noise. Maybe I was just hearing people moving around.
Yes, in person it looks much more palatable than the drawings. I mean, they look like you need a sign saying "wide load" behind you but this? Much better to imagine. Still wouldn't wear it to save my life. Yeah, I would not want to marry someone who would have to go to court. No, thank you.
Queen Charlotte had a wonderful sense of humor…unfortunately, I love the overdone, draped fabrics but my favorite era is the mid-1860-1880. I’d love to see a court dress of that era…I’ve read the criteria of dresses and it is fascinating. Plus, my family said a court dress was passed down through our American family but was lost in a house fire.
The wholesale merger of my most desirable style of fashion with my least desirable fashion style, the outcome is not desirable to my tastes. But, I must thank you for doing this, I always wondered what it looked like outside of a 200+ year old fashion plate. On the upside, you now have the ultimate Halloween fashion costume! 🎃👻🎃
I agree, horrible! I’ll take 3 in different colours 😊 🙋🏻♀️ Just thought you should know that the sound in the video seems to be a bit off occasionally and it can be a tad difficult to understand.
I often times roll my eyes at period shows that forget that women wore hats, gloves, chemises, stays, hair up, etc. But I do not blame Brigerton at all for using French court dress instead of Regency England court dress. That silhouette is laughable and ponderous (thanks a lot, Queen Charlotte!). They would make for great costumes in a comedy though.
It’s a costume from a scene in the ballet The Nutcracker! The “mom” danced by a male, enters on stage and releases a brood of children from under her dress!
So, Does the maid keep eloping with the same footman or do they jilt her and she has to find another? Or does her father keep shooting them making her a very young and very merry widow?
Looking at you sitting in that gown made me wonder, how far apart did people have to sit at the dinner table when wearing gowns like this? Obviously, the hoops are flexible, but it would be really awkward for anyone sitting next to the lady to be constantly poked by her hoops.
Really over the top,like circus tent Big Top. You look fine in anything,but the design is just not flattering to anyone. The fabric was a lovely color and rustled nicely. Really good to see you again. You are looking well and happy.
Ahahahah I love this, Thanks for showing this its spectacular! This is the real court fashion not what Bridgerton shows. I know Queen Charlotte hated anything French and so French court fashion was an absolute no. I felt bad for the women who had to go court looking like that. I love seeing this real style shown.
You mean 18th century I think? This style of court tie shows up invtheb1790s and continues for another 30 years, with small adaptations as formal English court wear
I don't get the competion in hate the style the most thing. Sure can't be comfteble at all and feel bad to walk around in for hours due to how big they are and try be in perfekt behaivor the same time. But find them so cool and I really like them.
I always thought the Regency court dress was still simply the Rococo style with the side panniers etc. But this.... This weird empire waisted.... Anathema ... Oh dear. 😅 I will NEVER understand the wooden busks btw. Talk about awful. 😅
Mm, there's not much in the way of layers and you'd be using a chamber pot, so it wouldn't be much different than wearing a regular Regency gown in that regard.
This style went really rediculous,some dresses would not go through doors and the ladies would have to walk through sideways..Luckily yours is more modest.I don’t particularly like the fabric the outer dress is made of I think it is not my choice .But I can understand keeping the material light for comfort.You do show perfectly how people in those days would have dressed in hand downs from sisters or family members,by pinning and tucking if they could not afford to pay for adjustments ,or could not do them themselves.Clothes were expensive in those days,and was general practice and would go through several family members,sometimes even becoming thread bear towards the last recipient ..Good job we can get clothes relatively cheap now .I was lucky though being the only Girl..Poor brother got fed up going to school in my cast offs though lol!..Just joking ha ha !🥰
I won't lie, I love the garish camp those dresses have LOL. Lovely work on the construction of it!
They look so silly 🙏😭 queen Charlotte really had an entire court of jesters, god bless!
My goodness, you weren't kidding: it looks like an over-frosted cupcake!
like a walking airing-cupboard!

Looks a bit like a fancy tent. I loved the pockets.
You are the only person I've seen so far who really can carry it off!
Well, my friend Eleanor can do it even better !

Anne de Bourgh from P and P really dodged a bullet being too unwell to be presented at court...
Love this
You know how they used to make those dolls to cover toilet paper rolls? My grandmother had them. It looks like those lol

Bridgerton could never. 💅🏻
Really wish tv/movies would embrace the "weird" stuff of the past.
I fear it would consume too much of the budget 😢
you're the only one who could look that beautiful in that style gown! the fabric is lovely, and the draping is rather pretty.
-Me sneaking food into the movie theater

"My husband is crazy, so YOU don't get a good time!"
It is quite horrendous, but surprisingly Elena makes it look a lot more dignified!
Yes, she did a great job
I always thought the ladies in the fashion prints looked like cupcakes!
I love it in a campy "so bad it's good" sort of way, though it's certainly a bit more flattering when the panniers aren't hiked up as high as they were in the fashion plates. Also, have you ever considered doing a French grand habit de cour from the 18th century?
I have to wonder if ladies in the early years of Victoria’s reign snickered over these court dresses the way we snicker over 1970s fashions today.
honestly i think this silhouette is underrated, the empire waist with voluminous skirt is fantastic, i wish we saw them later with the round crinoline i prefer
Thank you so much for this lovely video; i enjoyed every second of it! 🥰🤩❤
That gown is so utterly ridiculous - I've never wanted to try on anything more in my entire life!
Lady Izabela's maid has eloped with her court dress, so she must borrow something from Lady Elena to be presented to the Queen.
It’s like a floating tent
I love them so much and one day hope to make one though I must arguably start sewing first! 😅
Wow - that silhouette - man, I hate it. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous and I love the draped skirt!
That’s such an unusual silhouette. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t look quite as silly as the fashion plate made it look. At least, no more so than the 1740s gowns. I loved the red silk. It was absolutely beautiful.
Also, did you get a new microphone? I was able to hear you very clearly, but there was some weirdness going on in the background noise. Maybe I was just hearing people moving around.
Yeah, something seems off about the audio on this one. Normally I never have a problem understanding her but this time I did and I'm not sure why.
It's hideous. I love it. 😅
This train needs a Merlin on it.
It's less ugly than I excepted. in the drawings it always looks really huge and disproportionate but it's nice.
Yes, in person it looks much more palatable than the drawings. I mean, they look like you need a sign saying "wide load" behind you but this? Much better to imagine. Still wouldn't wear it to save my life.
Yeah, I would not want to marry someone who would have to go to court. No, thank you.
Splendid gown, but all the layers feel a little claustrophobic. I am happy to admire only Congratulations for your splendid work
I love those English courtgowns! They're so silly and cute
Queen Charlotte had a wonderful sense of humor…unfortunately, I love the overdone, draped fabrics but my favorite era is the mid-1860-1880.

It's something alright. Thanks for sharing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is the echo playing games with the audio? I refreshed the video hoping it was just a loading issue.
At least it can hide the "consequences" if a maiden had an affair XD no one will notice under all that.
The wholesale merger of my most desirable style of fashion with my least desirable fashion style, the outcome is not desirable to my tastes.
But, I must thank you for doing this, I always wondered what it looked like outside of a 200+ year old fashion plate.
On the upside, you now have the ultimate Halloween fashion costume! 🎃👻🎃
I don’t, it sold really fast!
@@priorattire Now someone else has the historical correct Halloween costume! 😁
when i think regency this is not what i think of! i have never seen this type of silhouette before!
I dont hate this style but as a short waisted lady i feel like the skirt would start at my neck!
Really not the most flattering silhouette in history..looks a bit as if the tailor for a rokoko gown was drunk ..😂😂😂
I agree, horrible! I’ll take 3 in different colours 😊 🙋🏻♀️
Just thought you should know that the sound in the video seems to be a bit off occasionally and it can be a tad difficult to understand.
I am trying to make a positive comment about the shape of the gown...erm... I love potatoes

@@nadinehackman2358 “Mother Ginger.”
Is my brain shorting out or do parts keep being weird with the audio and making the words unable to understand?
Was fine when I was previewing it? If tricky, simply put the caps on!
@@priorattire I did but the captions didn't know either. I only mentioned it because the captions couldn't help me.
It makes you look like a rose cupcake covered in luster dust. Too fancy to be delicious 😂
I was thinking the whole time that this was the inspiration for the doll cake.
@@MelMc-rk2pg 😂🤣😂🤣 you're not wrong
So,
Does the maid keep eloping with the same footman or do they jilt her and she has to find another? Or does her father keep shooting them making her a very young and very merry widow?
I gotta say I'm not entirely mad at the bodice with the train
Love the material you chose!
That's really ... Something ...
As if I'm any kind of fashion icon in my leggings and sweats 😅
Looking at you sitting in that gown made me wonder, how far apart did people have to sit at the dinner table when wearing gowns like this? Obviously, the hoops are flexible, but it would be really awkward for anyone sitting next to the lady to be constantly poked by her hoops.
No chance for a private conversation at dinner, you'd need to shout over the distance.
something about the technical scuff enhances the ridiculousness of the gown, i feel
Izabela, if I ever have you make me a dress, it will NOT be this style! Clown outfit is right!
Enjoyed it ■ thank you!! M
When you say "pin it", are you using straight stick pins that would be sharp? What a beautiful fan at the end. Beautiful work, as usual. ☺
Straight pins!
Really over the top,like circus tent Big Top. You look fine in anything,but the design is just not flattering to anyone. The fabric was a lovely color and rustled nicely. Really good to see you again. You are looking well and happy.
Next time your maid elopes, I'd be happy to stand in.

I know Queen Charlotte hated anything French and so French court fashion was an absolute no. I felt bad for the women who had to go court looking like that. I love seeing this real style shown.
Not gonna lie. I quite like it
I can’t help but wonder how many times the ladies had their trains stepped on because of the ridiculous lengths.
Holy moly
It’s transitional. Really interesting how the construction will keep showing up through the century. Skirt, drape, bodice is very late 19th century.
You mean 18th century I think? This style of court tie shows up invtheb1790s and continues for another 30 years, with small adaptations as formal English court wear
If you re-do this with music, I suggest “Everybody ought to have a maid” from “A Funny Thing …. The Forum”?
I don't HATE it...
You clearly disliked this style ... but to my Regency tastes, this is still looking much prettier than any gown from the early 1830ies ...
I don't get the competion in hate the style the most thing. Sure can't be comfteble at all and feel bad to walk around in for hours due to how big they are and try be in perfekt behaivor the same time. But find them so cool and I really like them.
The 1830s was fashion gold though. It’s like how the 1980s were just intense excess and all the better for it.
yes a rather strange look!
Dreadful gown 🤣🤣 I seem to remember that there was a requirement to wear tippets as well; not sure if I’m right about this.
Odds bodkins!
I'll pass on the court gowns. At least the English ones.
What year is this from?
This style started in 1790s and lasted about 30 years for formal court events
@@priorattire thank you!
I always thought the Regency court dress was still simply the Rococo style with the side panniers etc. But this.... This weird empire waisted.... Anathema ... Oh dear. 😅
I will NEVER understand the wooden busks btw. Talk about awful. 😅
Wooden busks are great actually. Light, flexible, sturdy do the job nicely
@@priorattire idk what you mean. I've worn them and they are most certainly NOT flexible. 😅
A bit garish but for the time, you were notice upon entrance!
Hoping you don't have to take a wee or the like all night!
Mm, there's not much in the way of layers and you'd be using a chamber pot, so it wouldn't be much different than wearing a regular Regency gown in that regard.
Just hold a potty under skirt done

I find the 1812 dresses uncomfortable and unflattering, especially for aging women.
I would love to wear something like this, but I fear all the layers and everything would swallow my 5'1' self alive!😱
