Please do French aristocrat!! I’ve got to know how the women made their skirts look like boxes!
They had what were called "paniers"(French for basket) basically basket-type things on the hips attached to a belt that would go around the waist, under the petticoats. The bigger the paniers, the wider the shape . in the 19th century they used crinolines, which were circular rods that went all the way around and were attached to straps keeping each hoop aligned, going down from the waist in a rounded cone-like shape, . in the 1860s they had ones that went all the way from the waist to the floor, imagine trying to sit down in that!
@@EleonoraBrandenburg1762 it wasn't hard to Sit on. Its extremely comfortable and would close up when you sat on them. There called crinolines
@@curehead9877 Didn't I already say that THEY'RE called crinolines ? 😂😂😐😐
there's a video about how an 18th century woman would dress, but it's from another channel
@@EleonoraBrandenburg1762 Somewhere, sometime there was a funny sketch about this, i thought it was Carol Burnett but couldn't find it. Anyway, what I found was a RUclips video titled "We wore hoop skirts for a day" & I imagine it had some humor to it. Pretty sure sitting in a hoop skirts was a talent taught to young women.
so your telling me Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein from a nightmare she had, and read it to a gathering of people in the 18th century? You learn something new everyday.
a lot of literature and art was conceived in a dream. Stoker's inspiration for "Dracula" was a nightmare, too.
@@Amphitera Really? cool
Mary Shelley started writing Frankenstein in that gathering, she didn't finish it then. The inspiration came from a dream and from her life experiences.
Another person who was at the gathering writing was Dr Polidori, he wrote "The Vampire", a future inspiration for Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Amazing 💜💜
Yep
She created a new genre...Sience Fiction. An 18 year old girl created Science Fiction.
I love this time period so much... the high-waisted silhouette is so pretty and elegant, in my opinion. I loved hearing about Mary’s dreams and inspiration for her writing.
These videos are like a portal to the past. Thank you so much!
A lot of historic clothes are so practical.
Sleeves that can be short or long, functioning pockets, a layer underneath that protects clothes from sweat so you have to wash the precious fabrics left.
Oh to live in a simpler time
Life wasn't so simple back then lol
This is magnificent. Hope you can also cover another dress from another place and culture.
We would very much like to!
I cannot like this video enough. Thank you so much for filming it - it is pure delight!
Wow the quality of this is amazing
I was like hold up. Writer of Frankenstein ? Yes brilliant!!
Awesome video! Amazing song, too!!
So well done
I love this early 19th century fashion on women as well as men, so elegant and seems like women were pretty comfortable in these high waisted dresses.
I love these videos so much! I always learn a lot from them and they are very intriguing. Please keep up the good work ❤️❤️
I would love to listen to a full narration of the book by this lady, TAKE MY MONEY
Holy fuck this video is clutch...I didnt know any of that! And the reading at the end? Wow!
A piece of history I love. When women wore clothes that were breathable and looked elegant.
Love it!
The greatest definition of PJ's ever 1:25
Even Josephine's style were so complicated x)
so many layers. I would of died from sweating.
I love this dress and under garments, I would certainly dress like this, looks so feminine and pretty
We have all these shows about how the richer women dressed, but i always want to know what the regular woman would wear - certainly not as elaborate, as they had to dress themselves - imagine that?!
Wow... no just rolling out of bed and being dressed & ready-to-go inside of 10 minutes.
Great video!
Also, what's the title of the music exactly? Thanks.
The music was specially written for us by composer Chris Gordon.

Although I generally find womens fashion prettier, I would much rather wear those neat vests and billowy sleeves shown at 4:10. There's something about that extremely high waist i don't like. I absolutly love this channel and especially the voiceover, so soothing!
This is my aesthetic
"we need rain.....just spray the window with the hose, no one will be able to see how sunny it is outside."
Pair of Pantaloons? I guess, if they started out kinda seperate, that's why you english people call it a pair of pants even though its just one piece now :D .
Back when people actually talk to each other
OMG that must be the Krakatau mountain eruption😢
Seeing these dressing videos with an added element of diving into women's history, I think, brings forth the notion that there has always been amazing women who challenged, created, and broke through barriers. Peering into something so intimate as the clothes they wore gives us this tiny glimpse in their everyday lives, something which to us might seem eons away. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to this channel, I really enjoy every video you guys create!
Well put!
The summer that Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted causing a volcanic winter around the world. It was called "The year without summer." This weather change influenced her writing and without it we may have never had Frankenstein.

i love this channel so interesting!
I love these videos with a story around the clothing. Same as with the Girl with the Pearl Earring. I actually learn alot by watching these videos. Like with the origin of when everything happened and thereby also look at what they wear, which I am facinated by. Great job on this video!!!
Can you do a Bronte sisters video?
We're exploring ideas!
And Jane Austin, please?
I would love this!

*I second this emotion!*
I wish regency waistlines and fabrics came back. They are very cute and they look comfortable too.
look around and you will find the high, empire waist has popped up in sun dresses in recent years because of how flowy the cut is
@@anjanunnenmacher344 I have one, but it's barely knee-length. Give me longer XD
@@akechijubeimitsuhide do you know how to sew? they're super easy to make yourself if you know how to, and there's plenty of tutorials on here to teach you if you don't
the fabric back then was made differently to how it is today. not only would it take a long time to make, it would be hella expensive!
Best thing is that you can actually wear this if you know how to sew. Nothing is stopping you (other than the sewing maybe). Wear what makes you happy.
My family is so pumped! Mary is my great aunt, and we take pride in anything to do with her.
That's awesome man
Incredible! Hope I have done her justice for you!
Yooo, that’s pretty cool! Frankenstein is one of my all time favorite monsters and book, so it must be pretty cool to go around and say you’re related to an influential literature figure like Mary Freakin’ Shelley!
Anyone in your family write? I would read their work.
Magical Boy Mercury wow

I love the narrators voice so much
It so calming
Charlotte Louise nah it’s really annoying

Why is it that these videos always have THE most tan actresses ever... It's totally unrealistic for the period and just ruins these otherwise very carefully authentic videos.
You do know that it was a common practice for aristocratic women (and men) to wear white powder to hide their true skin color? I don't see the actresses as "tan" anyway; they just aren't ghost-pale, blonds. Most of Europe wouldn't (and still doesn't) fall in that category.
I took a Literature by Women’s course in college years ago. We studied this. She always felt that the monster she had created was more than just fiction. She would say if she turned her head fast enough she might glimpse him behind her. He literally haunted her for the rest of her life. At least that is what we were told in the class. Fascinating if not extremely disturbing!!
That is pretty common when you hallucinate something. You can carry parts of that experience for the rest of your life.
Frankenstein is one of the most imaginative books I have read in my short life. A timeless tale.
I actually wrote a comparison and contrast essay in college, between Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula. It turned out surprisingly well.
That wardrobe in the room where Shelley gets dressed is gorgeous. I can't imagine who makes furniture like that anymore, and if some company out there does, they must charge tens of thousands of dollars for a piece like that one.
Their main customer must be Vladimir Putin, for his palace on the Black Sea.
It's incredible that such a young mind could come up with such a story. Thank you so much!
It was when people had a keen imagination of their own doing and not one that is thrust upon them by Hollywood. Our minds have grown dull.
Regency clothing - empire line dresses - seem to be the most comfortable historical women's clothing between medieval and modern clothes. The stays looked small and practical for a start!
I love this style of clothes. I used to have a few empire line long dresses when I was younger. Very flattering.
As an interesting foot note one of the other participants in the scary story "contest" was John William Polidori whose story "The Vampyre" gave rise to that particular form of the horror novel.
Indeed. He was also Lord Byron’s physician, having earned his degree at the age of 19.
I love how here I am on my bed with just a over sized T shirt and underwear. Why have we decreased in our brains. Jk it’s just me
It's an interesting question: would a woman of 1816 feel liberated or naked in today's appropriate garb?
Ostsol Probably a bit of both, though it would depend on the person
Ostsol I would say it would lean towards the naked side. I think anybody from that time period would. Specifically in the “western world”. Not so much the East. Regarding the Middle East, it’s still that way.
Ok but literally same
I really love their fashion.. it’s the only thing i want to travel with the time to experience
Just imagine the strange looks you'd get wearing all that now!
@@SebAnders it will be so awkward but i wanna try this actually 😂
@@tasnemoo1892 You'd turn heads, a lot people would probably think you were part if some kind of street show 😂
@@SebAnders and i will be laughing secretly as they look 😂
Incredible to think that a little weekend getaway for a group of friends, stuck inside cos of shitty weather would change the history of literature forever
Excellent video! I would love to see a video from Jane Austen or from the characters from little women.
It’d be great if you could do companion-videos showing how the servants dressed themselves: this seems very awkward to put in without help! Love this channel
Indonesia is located roughly 7000 miles from london. As an Indonesian, we've been told that our country is located in the ring of fire. Ancient Krakatoa (or Krakatau) eruption in 5th century caused the land that used to connect two islands to collapse, creating now a sea passage. I know Tambora was not as major as ancient Krakatoa, but to think that the effect traveled 7000 miles ad affected the whole world, it is pretty bone-shivering.
I really wish there won't be more massive eruption in indonesia. We've had several smaller ones this decade, but it doesn't mean that there's no possibility of a massive one to happen.
Great video, thank you!
Love this! Please consider doing a Jane Austen one! And an Anne Boleyn one! And a Mary queen of scots one!
This channel is an utter gem
Haha I read this comment as "This channel is utter gum" 😂Silly me!
You guys have class. Wonderful video.
By God! Don't start talking about class!
They mentioned Indonesia. Greetings from Indonesia here! More than two hundred years of course
Halo!
Hello! Hope you're well!!
Hello from Indonesia too 😀

I love all your videos! Watching these videos not only calms me, but fascinates me at the same time. Like catching a glimpse into past, and this way looking at present with different eyes. Thank you and please never stop producing these amazing artworks.
Spoooooooky yet informative! I like it! Can't wait to see which time period you go with next!
It's so interesting watching these videos. Thank you for these! The quality of your content just keeps getting better. Love from the Philippines!
“Ah, shit I gotta put on all those layers.”

The Mount Tambora, eruption in April of 1815, was one of the most powerful ever recorded. It was on the island of Sumbara, Indonesia.
Listening at the voice of Mrs Shelley is quite an experience..........
this is a really relaxing video
Wait I have the same shoes
GOD YES THANK YOU. The inventor of sci-fi. The mother of Goth. My ancestor.
Sophia Cierley
She was technically predated- by another woman, Margaret Cavendish, in the 17th c- who wrote ‘The Blazing World’, but most don’t know about it.
Neither get the credit they deserve after the guys claimed the genre for their own.
If you are descended directly, we may be faint cousins. 😁
Oh HELL yes
I had been waiting for this period for so long. Loving this one!
mary shelley is the most fantastic literary figure and this video brings me so much joy. i genuinely idolise her and to see her brought to life with that fantastic actor and the fascination of fashion history was just lovely. it was a really fantastic summary and such a fitting celebration of her achievements (although the existence of the inspiring 'dream' may have been fabricated by shelley herself). to go through so much death and tragedy, to go on to invent science fiction, transform the victorian gothic, and create the enduring, haunting archetypes of frankenstein's monster and the mad scientist: as only an outspoken teenage girl. god i love mary shelley thanks for listening
The best Halloween treat a person could ask for 😍 these videos are always so pleasant and enjoyable to watch, keep up the amazing work
I have to wonder how those who could not have afforded servants would have dressed, and how one during a romantic liaison would get one's self dressed again without help. Sure some of this would be fairly simple to don, but the stays at least look difficult to do alone.
Um... depending on the lesion you don't need to undress. Those are split pantalettes.
@@jenniferyoung4764 (Psst! I think you meant "liaison" not "lesion." I don't mean to be pedantic, but there's rarely or never a "romantic" lesion.)
@tarmaque you're right.. I'm a lousy speller.
@@jenniferyoung4764 No matter. So am I! That one was just particularly funny to me. (I'd be utterly lost without integrated spell check.)
In the past families always lived together, often 3 generations in one household. A woman living on her own, totally alone, like nowadays, was impossible. A wife could ask for help from her husband, sisters could help each other getting dressed, children helpd their parents, etc. Living alone so remote from each other is an unfortunate modern thing. Private life didn't exist in such a range we live it today. Peaople emberaced their own feelings and thoughts, writing them in sevret diaries, never to be seen by anyone else. Nowadays, when we live on our own we struggle to share even our deepset, craziest, shallowest or darkest secrets and thoughts! Times are changing, but when talking about the past, we have to consider their lifestyle, not just the dresses.
I learn so much from the videos! Great for historical fiction writers, could you by chance do one from the 1920’s?
L Sims they should do the 20s!!!
Oh please do Louisa May Alcott and Emily Dickinson!! They might be similar but the class and regional differences, even the slight time period differences, must be so interesting between female authors
😱 Delightfully crafted...& executed... 😂
Ahem. Seriously, this was a beautiful melange of fashion & lifestyle history, literary history & simply striking production values. The images of those literary giants all gathered round the fire on a broody thunderstorm night...can you just imagine the heady discussions & flights of brilliant, terrible fancy that were never even written down later on? I love how transfixed & absorbed Byron & Shelley look as Mary reads! A perfect Halloween presentation. 🎃😱💙
Thanks for this. Wonderful job as always. Just one slight criticism- I'm pretty sure Mary Shelley never had a ladies maid to help her dress, particularly at that age. She might have later in life when she was widowed and living with her son and his wife in some style. Even though the Shelley's were never poor by any means they were rather bohemian and didn't espouse a privileged lifestyle.
even if she didn't, she never lived alone, so she definitely always had SOMEONE to help her
Women of her class, even with these bohemian ideals would never be without at least one maid. It wasn't a luxury as you think, it was a necessity.
I'm so grateful I discovered your channel a few months ago. You're amazing, guys!
At this moment there is literally 666 likes, and 6 dislikes of this video. How fitting
And I read your comment an unlucky 13 hours after you posted it :O
@@ayishagerussi9382 lol, what forces are at work here?
Could you please upload another video for Mary Shelley fashion please I love this video
This video is wonderful as it leads us to a lovely story
I was so excited for this video. You guys definitely did not disappoint!!
At least indonesia was meontioned :)
Excellent, excellent video. Your work gets more wonderful with every upload.
ok but WHO is crowseyeproductions where do they get all of these clothes and what are their jobs i'm so confused
I love how it's informative, but it also drags you into a story, I love it
Can you guys do more of these for the 1800s? There were a lot of fashion changes in that era and I'm really fascinated with it
A masterpiece of a video
Oh my god the long sleeve illusion is brilliant !! I am not really confortable in long sleeve and always wants to take those off when needed ! The solution is often in the past, you sometimes have to bring an idea back instead of inventing it !!
Mary: Scared of Creature and expects others to be as well.
Me: Then WHY did you describe him to be beautiful? I love him.
Yes! I have been waiting to see this video. I love Mary Shelley, she was such a amazing intelligent woman!
Those shoes have come into fashion now.
It was AMAZING. WONDERFUL WORK, I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT HALLOWEEN
Wait she was Mary Wollstonecraft's daughter?! Learn something new every day...
4:07 Excuse me? Didn't Krakatoa Eruption happened in 1883 and not in 1816?
This was mount Tambora
@@CrowsEyeProductions Ahh, I see. When I hear that the first thing that comes in my mind was Krakatoa. Thanks for replying!
I love this ...Please do Ada Lovelace....Lord Bryon's daughter...or Eleanor of Aquitaine!
I feel like im just there!,this is great :3
Her handwriting is so beautiful and calligraphic
The volcano the narrator mentioned was Tambora. That year was known as "the year without summer".
Hmm... I thought the volcan was Krakatoa.
Ergon Hardroll that was about 60 or 65 years later.
This should be a series. The production quality is really good. And I think you guys will be sucessfull in that.
I love these videos. They are so informative and more relaxing than ASMR!
Happy Halowe'en to us! Thank you for this perfect treat ! 🍬🍬
