Husbands did up their wives' buttons, fathers their orphaned daughter's, the maiden aunt who lived with her brother's family would help her sister-in-law, even housewives would help a live-in maid of all work if they had only the one maid.

    So my grandmother had one of those stand up bath thingies. She kept it as decoration mostly, I'm not sure if she ever used that one specifically but I suspect she may have used one in the past as a child because when I was growing up my mother taught me to wash myself exactly like this with the sink in the mornings. You'd fill the sink up with warm water and get a wash cloth and get it wet. Put a little soap on it and wash yourself. Mainly my mother taught me to wash areas like my genitals and arm pits (and as I got older she instructed under the chest). This was done in addition to showering in the evenings most nights. I never realized this wasn't normal until I started sleeping over friend's houses and stuff. When I asked my mom about it, she said that it was just something her mother taught her to do as well and she thought it was good practice. It's kind of interesting to realize that this is something that was probably in my family for generations, way back to these Victorian days.

      I am from '76, and learned to wash by the sink before I was a teen.
      I would love to do something like this now after I come home from somewhere as I do not want to get in my bed without getting clean first or sitting in my clean chair without getting clean first ( I have another chair for when I cannot wash first ), but I never know when my boyfriend needs washroom ( is without a gallbladder and also, overactive bladder ) so I do better with showers to be done faster. But I either wait until he has done his washroom biz before I shower or when he goes to sleep for the night.

    A proper corset was just like a bra, that which offered support for either a high/middle/working class. In certain circles, and time periods it was tightened or made in such a way that it was a risk for health but most women were at no greater risk than those who use bras today.
    In older pictures and illustrations, you'll see working class women going about their days, which was filled with a lot of laborious activities, without a struggle.
    A vast majority of "costume corsets" nowadays are NOT created properly, the way the fabric is cut (the shape) and the support is positioned/and used wrong and will do more harm than a real one. Which should be specifically made for your individual body type, and follow a previously created design for the shape desired.

    A corset was used very much like a bra today. It was the foundation of the outfit and gave support to the breasts and upper body. It helped hold the weight of the petticoats and final skirt along with the panniers or hoop skirt depending on the era. Going without a corset was dangerous. You would have no support for the heavy skirts

    Fashion Historian here! This video was such a delight and the dressing and outfit was great for what you had on hand EXCEPT for the corset part!😂as much as modern fashion has brought back the item and styled it as one would as an accessory like a vest (very similar to what you did!), to Victorians it was more or less their precursor to the bra- and had you actually gone with your day, it would almost be compared to you going out in modern times with your bra over your shirt! Another interesting fact is that a majority of doctors against corsetry are what we consider the “anti-vaxxers” of the era- they often twisted information and created hoaxes like muscle atrophy to try to influence ladies’ husbands into disdaining from “indulgences” but more or less again in a modern analogy imagine your husband trying to take away your bra☠️Other than that your video brought a great, fun light to the Victorians’ routine!

    • @Frank71n
      @Frank71n 3 года назад +116

      Hi there! And not at all- to the point of which I never made the point of people wearing corsets 24/7, very much today where people don’t wear their bras 24/7. In historical actuality there’s only a small percentage of Victorians that wore theirs day and night. And to clarify my analogy, it is similar to the fact that doctors who knew nothing of women’s systems were creating false information to fearmonger society.

      It’s not odd. Sure being cozily wrapped in a loved ones arms is great until it’s just to itchy/sweaty. When you fall asleep, his snoring starts. Honestly, there are many kinds of snoring. Most of them disturbing. The restlessness of one or both of you constantly waking the other up. I’m mean sex can be done before going to separate beds, in the middle of the night when one summons the other, or even during the day. It doesn’t just happen when two people are sleeping in the same bed. You can even lovingly fall asleep in each other’s arms after said sex. But as soon as the disturbances start, a sweet kiss and off to your own bed is just as sweet. Then there is the good morning sex that can and does still happen!
      It’s not weird to sleep in separate beds. It’s just for the peaceful sleeping periods. 😉

    I love the Rosemary water part. I love eating lots of herbs. I finally get to use my organic rosemary that grows in our garden ❤️

    As an experiment, a Polish woman wore all 11 layers of Victorian dress on a hot 100degree August afternoon. You’d have thought she’d have passed out from heat stroke, wouldn’t you?
    Actually, she said it was not half bad. The Victorians wore natural fibers that all breathed.
    She was left wondering why modern women suffocate themselves during the summer, wearing synthetic garments that were like plastic bags.
    This video is real eye bleach due to its aesthetics. Thank you for posting.

      I'm usually in 2 or 3 layers, even in the summer, to protect my skin from the sun. I try to find 100% cotton or linen clothing and I am just fine. If what you're wearing is breathable fabric, you honestly don't get super hot.
