My Favorite era for Lady's Fashions. I love the Gibson Girl look. A favorite craft I have is taking dolls and crocheting beautiful dresses and wide brim hats with lace, and flower trims. My Great Grandma was married in the Edwardian Era, and her wedding photo was so pretty as She was petite and had an hour glass figure, just perfect for the Gibson Girl look. She's attired in her wide brim hat, with lace parasol in hand. Just lovely!
LOVE This!! Beautifully presented.. and i truly LOVE that you show that not only do you NOT have to have a maid to get dressed (most real women didnt) but that you can wear a properly made/fitted corset WITHOUT tight lacing.. and that you can lace yourself- you show how easily most women can move around With it on.. love that.. love that love that.. - thank you.. only thing missing in this one was the cat photobomb lol!!
This dress reminds me of Monet's "Lady with a Parasol". Absolutely gorgeous. I applaud you for putting in the research and the patience for making these dresses and demonstrations.
The history of western lady's garments is really interesting!!!! I've always been in love with lace and Edwardian fashion! I even had a night gown made for my cousins wedding, it had 100 year old authentic lace, i still have it!
why isnt it. every thing else is socially acceptable.. its just a lovely lacy long dress. if you like it WEAR it. we dont have 'socially acceptable restrictions anymore - hey if someone can go to a job interview in flip flops, tank top and shorts why cant you wear a long pretty dress.
I love history and period dress. You make the dressing look so much easier than I thought it would be. You look so authentic and lovely! Really enjoy your videos.😊
Thank you for showing us! I love the dress, so much silk and ruffles - like a doll :) It's very interesting how much layers of fabric women wore just a hundred years ago. I mean compared to the many centuries of tons of fabrics before. From that point of view, the revolution of woman's wear isn't that far away... I wonder what will be fashionable in a two hundred years from now :D
I love the dresses from this period. Perhaps not all of the layers, but you have to appreciate the final look. I have a picture of my grandmother from this time. Her waist was tiny!
Oh dear lord, I don't. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong. And fascinating. But hot, heavy, difficult to care for, expensive, restrictive . . . give me yoga pants or leggings any day of the week. The idea of wearing that in August in Houston makes me faint. Seeing it is beautiful though.
@@elizabethshepard1512 I know it has been 3 years but I doubt they were hot because it is not made out of polyesther like modern clothes are. Also corsets were not restricive if worn properly.
+Ann Soldano well that was the whole point of a split busk invented in the 1830s- that a person can lace herself without the need of a maid. And yes, having someone to help is easier, it with a split busk it was not needed anymore. Also, working women, women of less standing/ means didn't have a maid themselves and yet that managed corsets well.
Amazing, no wonder they didn’t go out in the mornings, took all day to get dressed. Thank you for this insight, so glad I live in today’s fashion society where just about anything goes! And its easy wear!
It's amazing how the tiny detail of the belt just draws the entire outfit together into the recognisable Edwardian look! Absolutely beautiful; so glad I found your channel haha! :)
I have watched almost all of your videos, and this one is definitely a favourite! I love Edwardian style - all the lace was so feminine, and I love the shape of the corset - and you look absolutely gorgeous in this video!
So, I have a great great aunt (I think...can't remember how many greats), who is nearing 100 and still quite well. When her mother was young, she made a lovely white dress for her high school graduation. The photograph of the dress is dated 1901 (that's when she made it). Well, this aunt was downsizing her home and planning to sell much of her estate, so she invited all of us her relatives to come to the place she was moving out of in case we wanted anything before it was sold. Long story short...I now own an authentic 1901 dress styled for a young lady just a bit older than me. Tried it on, the skirt sort of fits but my hands are too big to go through the sleeve cuffs so I couldn't see how the bodice fits. Of course, I didn't have all the proper undergarments then....
Beautiful. I'm a sucker for anything with lace. My Grandma was born in 1903 so this is how my Great-Grandma would have dressed. I wonder what maternity wear was like. I will have to do some research. Great video. Thanks.
I have a copy of a photograph taken at my maternal great-grandparents' wedding circa 1901 so it is interesting to see how my great-grandmother dressed!
Anybody thinking of Mrs Banks from Mary Poppins? The movie/ book was set in 1910, as Mr Banks sings, "It's great to be an Englishman in 1910..." so the clothing style would have been perfectly matched.
That's gorgeous. I love Edwardian corsets. I didn't know they were so fabulous. And the hair! I'm not good with hair, mine being extra fine and too straight to even curl. So seeing something that simple that looks that good is wonderful. Fantastic video. I love the entire look
I am doing a movie and have to wear all this. During summer. Some days I can't even turn around and move. They look amazing, but what an effort to wear these dresses! Lovely video, really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very very interesting and well done
which means the clothes are not fitted well, and made of unsuitable materials fort he season. All the layers here are very, very light, breathable and comfortable. alas many film stuff is regrettably seldom fitted and made to the actors, and limited budget means economizing on fabrics - and getting lovely looking polyester stuff., that serves as a portable sauna....
What beautiful clothes - these videos are amazing!! If you make these clothes yourself, you are an incredibly talented seamstress and clothes desigmer!!
I love your channel and this video 😊 I'm sewing also historical clothes (these days it's a tea gown 1882 - but I'm still sewing the undergarments) I really enjoy your videos. Kind regards from Germany 😊
Really enjoy these early 1900s videos. My Granny was born in 1900 and talked about clothes she remembered over the years. She lived to 100. My question is how did ladies keep the bottom of their dresses clean. And how did they take care of their monthly flux. And weren't all those layers hot?
This is the second time I’ve watched this and this time I realized it is the way my great grandmother would have been dressing. My grandmother was born in 1903.
By the time your grandmother was 18, fashion would have already changed drastically. She lived through some of the most interesting evolutions in fashion.
At 18, your grandmother would have seen gartered corsets become separate garments (brassiere & suspenders). After the Great War, there were significant changes in clothing styles, and a straight figure was preferred over a curvaceous one. Things become a little more relaxed too, as bathing costumes begin to change.
I love your video's. I am obsessed with historical attire and I have always wondered if there was a channel that did stuff like this.. and lucky for me, I found one!
@@HattieMcDanielonaMoon Anne of Green Gables is a very famous novel (and now several films and TV shows) depicting life in the Edwardian era in Canada. I agree that it reminds me of it, especially the most recent adaptation, Anne with an E. Mrs Barry would certainly approve of this dress.
These videos are wonderful. Whenever I'm reading historical fiction I like to be able to visualize the garments, so, for a long time looked in my treasured book, "What People Wore." These videos help too! Once you get a gander at a corset you know why ladies perched on chairs and never relaxed their bodies. I'm so glad wom.en are now free of these things for every day, and can wear them for historical re-creation or plays, then get on the jeans and casual shirt. With just a bra and panties, god bless 'em! Of course now we have silly strictures like shaving our underarms and legs ...
I have Gibson Girl photos of my great-grandmother that were taken as part of her teacher's college graduation festivities. I wish I had asked her what colors her dress was when she was still alive. I hadn't thought to ask her when I was a child. I guess I just thought it was cream and shades of gray like the photo!
I love the style but just thinking about how much goes into getting dressed every morning makes me cringe. I barely want to change out of my pajamas some days let alone think I have to put on 4-5 layers of clothing when I wake up. Much respect to our ancestors and their fashion.
Half the comments: "I could never wear all those hot layers!" Me: gets ready to sew. (Having done Lincoln Asylum in Bank Holiday temperatures, I have resolved to pay more attention to the cotton underpinnings.)
I have photos of my Great-Grandmother and Great-Great Grandmother dressed very similar!
Please can u show us fron any way please🙏🤩
This woman is amazing, and looks good in any century fashion.
I love how she ‘adjusts’ everything. 😉
My Favorite era for Lady's Fashions. I love the Gibson Girl look. A favorite craft I have is taking dolls and crocheting beautiful dresses and wide brim hats with lace, and flower trims.

I don't know what it is about your videos that keeps me coming back. I just have to watch.
I would love to dress like this, maybe even all the eras I just love it
Such beautiful garments back in those days! I wish they would come back in fashion!
one of the main reasons i watch these is because it gives me ideas for outfits in my drawings. not to mention how they would react to certain motion
Yael Horowitz
I wat these videos to me with writing.
What an amazing and beautiful dress! Reminds me of an outfit Mary Poppins wore!
LOVE This!! Beautifully presented.. and i truly LOVE that you show that not only do you NOT have to have a maid to get dressed (most real women didnt) but that you can wear a properly made/fitted corset WITHOUT tight lacing.. and that you can lace yourself- you show how easily most women can move around With it on.. love that.. love that love that.. - thank you.. only thing missing in this one was the cat photobomb lol!!
This is very lovely and elegant but all those layers make me thankful for a simple pair of jeans and a top.
Exactly! Imagine how much time it took just to get ready to go out, or ready for bed. :D
Not that long, actually. She has a nice video debunking how long it takes to get dressed in the Victorian era too- about 10-15 minutes with practice.
These videos are just so pleasant and pure. I love them!!
I love this style. I wish it was still fashionable today - gorgeous and feminine!
I am so sorry that this fashion has been lost in time, it is a very delicate and beautiful style.
As an artist i am grateful that i found this video on my recommendation lol. I get to learn the perspectives and designs.
This dress reminds me of Monet's "Lady with a Parasol". Absolutely gorgeous. I applaud you for putting in the research and the patience for making these dresses and demonstrations.
Petition to bring back those belts (or dresses with a similar cut at the waist)? They’re so pretty and flattering!
I like that these videos have music appropriate for the period. Gosh there was alot of fabric involved in clothing from the past!
The history of western lady's garments is really interesting!!!! I've always been in love with lace and Edwardian fashion! I even had a night gown made for my cousins wedding, it had 100 year old authentic lace, i still have it!
Part of me wishes wearing this daily was still socially acceptabel
why isnt it. every thing else is socially acceptable.. its just a lovely lacy long dress. if you like it WEAR it. we dont have 'socially acceptable restrictions anymore - hey if someone can go to a job interview in flip flops, tank top and shorts why cant you wear a long pretty dress.
Although I love every era, I think I might have a particular fondness for the Edwardian era.
I love history and period dress. You make the dressing look so much easier than I thought it would be. You look so authentic and lovely! Really enjoy your videos.😊
Now THAT is gorgeous!!! I think I just fell in love with the Edwardian style.
As far as dresses go for the last 300 years, I think the Edwardian era is one of my top favorites.
Thank you for showing us! I love the dress, so much silk and ruffles - like a doll :) It's very interesting how much layers of fabric women wore just a hundred years ago. I mean compared to the many centuries of tons of fabrics before. From that point of view, the revolution of woman's wear isn't that far away...

Probably just bare skin...:(
I love the dresses from this period. Perhaps not all of the layers, but you have to appreciate the final look. I have a picture of my grandmother from this time. Her waist was tiny!
I really wished we still dressed like this today! So beautiful and delicate! Awesome video
Lizy GraceAGLOVER My goal is to at least bring the hat styles back to fashion from this era in time.
Gideon Stupke yes the hats are very beautiful as well!
Oh dear lord, I don't. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong. And fascinating. But hot, heavy, difficult to care for, expensive, restrictive . . . give me yoga pants or leggings any day of the week. The idea of wearing that in August in Houston makes me faint. Seeing it is beautiful though.

So beautiful, so feminine! So many layers! I would have forgotten half of them!
Your channel is one of the most addicting channels I've come across. Thank you for sharing!
And here we are today.. going out in gym wear.. or underwear. Such a sad days.
I just found your videos and by far I enjoy watching. Thank You.
Fabulous! all of it is lovely, and I am really intrigued by the antique petticoat! What a lovely piece :)
This is going to be SO helpful for making my Mary Poppins costume! Wonderful video, thankyou!
This is so lovely! I love all the lace.
Love all of your videos. I may sound crazy, but I kind of wish women could still dress like this! There is just such a beautiful femininity to it
H Noel I want to wear flouncy dresses like this.
I wish we dressed like this too 😂
H Noel me too! Women knew how to dress up back then. They were always well put together, tidy, and presentable.
Maybe modernize the amount of layers...
But I agree.
The dresses then are breathtaking!! Truly beautiful.
You can have dresses like this if you want to. Make your own, have someone make them or order from reproduction companies.
As a kid I wondered why the Can Can was such a scandalous dance ... Then I learned we wore split drawers back then! YIKES!!!
I love love love that blouse. I think overall Edwardian clothing is so elegant. Everything about that outfit I adore, except maybe the split drawers!
I have pictures of my great grandmothers dressed exactly like this. I love this time period in women's clothing and style. So beautiful!
I wish Edwardian clothing would become all the rage again! (For all sizes!) And Ladylikeness would be the thing to be again too!
She manages the corset very well......she ties it up herself! I give her the gold medal!
+Ann Soldano well that was the whole point of a split busk invented in the 1830s- that a person can lace herself without the need of a maid. And yes, having someone to help is easier, it with a split busk it was not needed anymore.

Amazing, no wonder they didn’t go out in the mornings, took all day to get dressed. Thank you for this insight, so glad I live in today’s fashion society where just about anything goes! And its easy wear!
They did go out in the mornings... getting ready takes about 8 minutes. Much less than it takes people to put make up on nowadays
The dress combined with the music gives a very Mary Poppins feel to the video, love it!
Why don't we dress like this?? It's so beautiful! I'd love to make it in style again. Maybe I was just born in the wrong era :)
I feel the exact same way.
I am dressing like edwardian already, minus the skirts.
Mel D samee
Me: so, what's the dress code?
Friend: it's just casual, wear whatever you'd like!
Me:
It's amazing how the tiny detail of the belt just draws the entire outfit together into the recognisable Edwardian look! Absolutely beautiful; so glad I found your channel haha! :)
Wonderfully timed crescendos with the corset and gloves!
What a lovely series of videos!
How delightful your humorous and truthful performance that lets us ladies of today know just how spoiled were are!
This is my favourite era. The Merry Widow hats are wonderful! When I was a child I was obsessed with button up boots. I still think they're dreamy 😍
I have watched almost all of your videos, and this one is definitely a favourite! I love Edwardian style - all the lace was so feminine, and I love the shape of the corset - and you look absolutely gorgeous in this video!
This ensemble is my absolute favorite of all of them, this one and your wedding dress.
This is BY FAR my favorite dress!!
Just love Prior Attire, catchy name too! Historically, SO interesting and ... just plain PRETTY!
Nice. I could imagine the hardship of women dressing up those days but it’s beautiful work of art.
So, I have a great great aunt (I think...can't remember how many greats), who is nearing 100 and still quite well. When her mother was young, she made a lovely white dress for her high school graduation. The photograph of the dress is dated 1901 (that's when she made it). Well, this aunt was downsizing her home and planning to sell much of her estate, so she invited all of us her relatives to come to the place she was moving out of in case we wanted anything before it was sold.

Tried it on, the skirt sort of fits but my hands are too big to go through the sleeve cuffs so I couldn't see how the bodice fits. Of course, I didn't have all the proper undergarments then....
Rosie Johnson OMG take care of that amazing historical piece 😱😍😍
I wish I had an Aunt like that!!
I absolutely love these videos. It’s nice to know there’s so many people who love readdressing these different eras
This style is beautiful and so are all of your videos!
I love all your dresses, I'm so jelly right now!
No words! This was such a pleasure to watch! Absolutely Stunning.
Beautiful. I'm a sucker for anything with lace.
My Grandma was born in 1903 so this is how my Great-Grandma would have dressed. I wonder what maternity wear was like. I will have to do some research.
Great video. Thanks.
I love the way these ladies looked! ❤
I have a copy of a photograph taken at my maternal great-grandparents' wedding circa 1901 so it is interesting to see how my great-grandmother dressed!
I have a dress from that year that belonged to my great-aunt's mother, she wore it for her graduation.
I love Edwardian Fashion! It's one of my favorite decades:)
The headdress was one of my favourite parts, soo beautiful ❤
I love all the elegant dresses from 80'-90'
Very beautiful! I love how multi-purpose the garments were--separate sleeves, separate bodice, separate skirt that could be mixed and matched.
Love it so much! I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos! Fabulous team at priorattire! It's like time traveling. Keep it up 😃
I found a picture of my great grandmother from the early 1900s and she was wearing something almost identical to this, just no hat.
I think this is the prettiest dress of them all. Thank you
Anybody thinking of Mrs Banks from Mary Poppins? The movie/ book was set in 1910, as Mr Banks sings, "It's great to be an Englishman in 1910..." so the clothing style would have been perfectly matched.
Things were changing just before 1910. The shape was getting more columnar and eventually evoked the Regency period.
Yup the line after that is,, "King Edward's on the throne it's the age of men" hence Edwardian
Yes! You can tell styles were starting to change, but this dress is VERY similiar to Mary's dress in "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
That's gorgeous. I love Edwardian corsets. I didn't know they were so fabulous. And the hair! I'm not good with hair, mine being extra fine and too straight to even curl. So seeing something that simple that looks that good is wonderful. Fantastic video. I love the entire look

Ugh polyester.
Whoever invented that can go sit in hell in their own clothes, that'll teach 'em!
Aahahahaahahahahaahahahaahahaahahahahaahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so beautiful, I love your channel!
I gives me the urge to finally get into historical sewing again
The Edwardian Age is my second favorite era.
Which one is your favourite then?
What beautiful clothes - these videos are amazing!! If you make these clothes yourself, you are an incredibly talented seamstress and clothes desigmer!!
i do - that's my job :-)
I like corsets. I feel they improve your posture and shape.
Thank you for explaining so much in an entertaining manner, ma'am.

I am a little bit concerned how much I enjoy watching a beautiful woman putting ON her clothes :-)
This has got to be one of my number one fave looks from you! i love the cream and lavender color scheme!
Clothes were so beautiful then...
I think this is my favorite look out of all the amazing things you've shown!
You're beautiful, loved this era style. Thanks for doing this!
it’s such a small thing but i love that u used the little :-) face in ur commentary, it just makes the whole thing feel so friendly!
Wow. My mom’s wedding dress looked almost exactly like this. Beautiful!
My very favourite era. I'm glad you went with purple. So pretty!! Thank you. this is my fav video yet.
Oh I just love this outfit! So Anne of Green Gables!
Bliss Fancy Who?

@@alicehannibal2580 Hi Alice,
I've done some reading over the years and I now know who Anne of Green Gables is. But thank you for the explanation.
so wicked!! I really love these period little documentary vignettes,AWESOME!!!

Katma Tally can I have that book?
I have Gibson Girl photos of my great-grandmother that were taken as part of her teacher's college graduation festivities. I wish I had asked her what colors her dress was when she was still alive. I hadn't thought to ask her when I was a child. I guess I just thought it was cream and shades of gray like the photo!
thank you girl, I'm writing a novel set in this period of time, and fashion was my biggest concern. now I'm learning. amazing job indeed, thx a lot
I love the style but just thinking about how much goes into getting dressed every morning makes me cringe. I barely want to change out of my pajamas some days let alone think I have to put on 4-5 layers of clothing when I wake up. Much respect to our ancestors and their fashion.
Takes about 5 minutes to get dressed- that is less than nowadays folks spend on putting make up on ;-)
I'm with you. sometimes I want to Chuck my bra
Every layer is so pretty but all covered up (like literally every layer could be an outfit on its own) I love it.
Half the comments: "I could never wear all those hot layers!"
Me: gets ready to sew.
(Having done Lincoln Asylum in Bank Holiday temperatures, I have resolved to pay more attention to the cotton underpinnings.)
Gosh, I love your videos so much. I'm a big history lover and these kinds of things just make my day! Thank you for all the work put into these.
Lady, I hooked! I just can't get enuff! You make it look so easy! All the best to ya!!!
Absolutely beautiful dress. Thank you
Victorian and Edwardian eras are my fav😭🙌🏼
i would love to be able to do this!!! wearing such gorgeous dress sounds amazing, even with the corset!
