I have photos of my Great-Grandmother and Great-Great Grandmother dressed very similar!
Please can u show us fron any way please🙏🤩
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.
This woman is amazing, and looks good in any century fashion.
I love how she ‘adjusts’ everything. 😉
Me: so, what's the dress code?
Friend: it's just casual, wear whatever you'd like!
Me:
Although I love every era, I think I might have a particular fondness for the Edwardian era.
Video: the bodice is seperate from the skirt.
Me: okay that makes sense like i should have know it.
Video: the sleeves are seperate from the bodice
Me: Mind. Blown.
This is going to be SO helpful for making my Mary Poppins costume! Wonderful video, thankyou!
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.
I would love to dress like this, maybe even all the eras I just love it
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
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
As a kid I wondered why the Can Can was such a scandalous dance ... Then I learned we wore split drawers back then! YIKES!!!
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!!
Your channel is one of the most addicting channels I've come across. Thank you for sharing!
I want to know how heavy these dresses were, maybe their weight contributed to deaths on the titanic's sinking as well
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.)
These videos are just so pleasant and pure. I love them!!
I am so sorry that this fashion has been lost in time, it is a very delicate and beautiful style.
love these videos. i only wish the frame was just a touch wider! it doesn't have to be full screen but it feels kinda cramped like this :(
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 like corsets. I feel they improve your posture and shape.
What a lovely series of videos!
I adore edwardian style, I'd dress like this all the time if it was practica
Clloud Practical?
I wish Edwardian clothing would become all the rage again! (For all sizes!) And Ladylikeness would be the thing to be again too!
The purple belt was my favorite part. :)
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!
I love the Edwardian style better than his Mother's Victorian era.
Ugh wish it was socially acceptable to dress like this in modern times
Edit:(and to be able to afford dresses like this lol)
If you want to dress like this, do it and don't mind other people. Other people dress so frumpy, so don't worry if you stroll by looking FABULOUS, darling! ;)
mm yes! let's make it fashionable again!
Just say "if you can go out wearing your underwear, I can go out wearing my dress"
There should be an organization to bring back these fashions
Weird kid I will help you make that a thing
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!
You are going to have some strong words to that maid of yours she is never around when you need her lol 😆
Clothes were so beautiful then...
I like that these videos have music appropriate for the period. Gosh there was alot of fabric involved in clothing from the past!
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.
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.😊
This is fascinating. I love the Edwardian look - I think it is so elegant. Have you ever worn a Russian court dress? I think they are simply beautiful, but I have read that they were not comfortable and the ladies referred to getting dressed in one as "putting on the armor"
i have, though it had a few design liberties as I'm not loaded. They are indeed EXTREMELY heavy, and impossible to put on by yourself (Comfortable? Aside from the weight, they're not too bad. The skirt is voluminous enough to walk just fine provided you have someone to carry your train, and split sleeves make for easy arm movement. And a corset is 100% needed to support the garment weight!). But, that's why they were COURT dress. Only rich women with the means for cloth of gold and servants would wear them.
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 :-)
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"
As far as dresses go for the last 300 years, I think the Edwardian era is one of my top favorites.
I love this style. I wish it was still fashionable today - gorgeous and feminine!
Now THAT is gorgeous!!! I think I just fell in love with the Edwardian style.
As an artist i am grateful that i found this video on my recommendation lol. I get to learn the perspectives and designs.
Somehow, these things never look "old fashioned" on you. LOL
A beautiful "dress." I'm enjoying your videos.
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....
Rosie Johnson OMG take care of that amazing historical piece 😱😍😍
I wish I had an Aunt like that!!
The Edwardian Age is my second favorite era.
Which one is your favourite then?
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
Probably just bare skin...:(
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 😊
How did those long dresses with white lace along the trailing hem survive dirty roads?
Plenty of washing i guess
I think that many of them had removable hems(I think that is what the bottom thingy is called?) that could be easily washed
You are..sorry don't know your name, but you are so photogenic. You really look like you belong in all those era's.
Izabela, what is your favorite era and dress? I am so amazed at your talent, research, and dedication. I have learned so much just from the few videos I have seen so far. And I am going to watch many more! And share! And like! And subscribe! Thank you!
newlywedbeth I'm also curious to know what's her favourite period. :)
it's really beautiful
Petition to bring back those belts (or dresses with a similar cut at the waist)? They’re so pretty and flattering!
I remember a picture of my greatgrandma who came to Argentina from Italy and she was wearing exactly the same style of this video, lovely fashion back then! The only sad thing is that that picture was taken in 1912, I guess she was still wearing Edwardian clothes because those were the few things she brought from Italy. I really love your channel, you suit every single era!
1912 isn't too long after that period!!
this style is definitely my favorite, I love all of the lace and the corset shape, I want to put together an outfit but there very expensive c':
How does one get involved in stuff like this? I've always wanted to do Victorian-edwardian era reenacting (is that the right word?) but I have no idea where to start!
+ana f have a look At groups and forums around you - google and Facebook is your friend!
look online for costuming guilds in your area and also check out this site (its for fun and for learning wonderful stuff - i attend as often as i am able) www.costumecollege.net/ and facebook has lots of various costuming groups. it depends on what interests you most. Go for it - its LOTS of fun.. and we LOVE new people :)
Historically accurate Mary Poppins
If you want that, go to Bernadette Banner's channel
@Priorattire: I love this dress and I wish I had one myself!
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.
@@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.
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 am a little bit concerned how much I enjoy watching a beautiful woman putting ON her clothes :-)
What an amazing and beautiful dress! Reminds me of an outfit Mary Poppins wore!
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!
Victorian and Edwardian eras are my fav😭🙌🏼
You make.such beautiful clothes I can't imagine how extensive your period fashion wardrobe is. 🤪
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'd wear this outfit even if it wasn't popular! (I'm already a layering person, so a few extra steps wouldn't bother me.)
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.
geesh we wear so little these days!
What would girls wear for sleepwear
Swear to god. If I ever become wealthy, I will be commissioning soooo much from you.
Or if I ever decide to become an Abigail Adams impersonator.
The dress combined with the music gives a very Mary Poppins feel to the video, love it!
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?
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!
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 ...
Katma Tally can I have that book?
I love all your dresses, I'm so jelly right now!
Everytime I watch one of your videos I think of all the husbands on the wedding night desperately trying to work their way through all the layers of clothing
ME TOO omg haha! :D
julia393n the women don't need to undress to get laid ;) They can just pull their skirts up and bend over.
PS...make Edwardian Fashion great again! =)
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'm finding all these videos interesting. I'm amazed at how insane fashions throughout the ages have been. Why did they put up with that nonsense. Things were so much simpler in the Garden of Eden. 😉
The one thing I find annoying about the videos is having to constantly stop them to read the narrative, and then to restart them to see what the actress is doing. Hearing the narration would be so much better than resorting to stop-action.
I love the detail and all the moving parts. But alas, I would be depressed at the mountain of subsequent clothes washing.. Remember, this was just for one outfit. If you wore 3 outfits a day, the time taken to dress, undress, and wash your clothes without a washing machine would be horrendous.
Also, if you were an older woman, you might need assistance getting dressed, as the process is nothing but athletic to say the least.
A wealthy woman would have usually worn something like this, so she never had to wash her clothes. Also the actual dress would probably never be washed since it is made of silk
Now all she needs is a sign that says "votes for women!"
Beautiful I wish I can wear something like that one day
Yeleiny George - than do. I wear 1890s every day. Wear what you want!
Adelaide Beeman-White
How do you acquire this kind of clothing, especially with no sewing skills?
Can you do for the 1910s fashion like Titanic fashion?
titanic was 1912. videos on demand from 2K....
Thanks priorattire...
So beautiful, so feminine! So many layers! I would have forgotten half of them!
I love your vids they're fantastic ❤ I know it looks hard work but I adore those fashions,this is by far my favourite era I wish we still dressed like real ladies 🌹
no reason whatso ever to NOT dress like a 'real' lady. we are profoundly lucky now days to where what we want to/what we like. NO one dictates to you what you can wear (except some of the more fundy types groups) so you like dresses? WEAR them.. so you like hats? WEAR them. so you like gloves? WEAR THEM. if people stare/make comments? WEAR IT ANYWAY. and simply smile the "i know something you dont know" smile and thank them for the attention. works every time
Tajkatt tyler I agree and for many women wearing a dress all the time wasn’t practical plus it was used as another form of discrimination as women who had to actually work for a living didn’t have the funds to afford silk and lace since they got (and still do) paid less than their male co-workers or they lived in areas where they were impractical.
Whatever happened to fashion?
Damn, I need me a dress like this 😍😍😍 you look like Rose from the Titanic movie!
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

I wat these videos to me with writing.
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!
You look absolutely beautiful
wow! and i thought those were one piece dresses
One piece dresses = “Princess line dresses” was not extremely popular till circa 1909’s and later but they existed....not so many but it had place to be
As far as looks go, I like the Edwardian style the best.
This style is beautiful and so are all of your videos!
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.
Now I get the persistent myth about women taking too long to get ready, look at all those layers!
It is still a myth- dressing up in all this takes less than applying makeup. 6 minutes in this case. Have a look at our video that dispells the myth :-)
i can get dressed by myself with all my layers in less than 15 minutes if i want to including my hair and day cap. :) - so not so different - now if it was a ball i was going to it would take longer i admit
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!
reminds me of Marilla from Anne of Green Gables
Well, it's set in about the same time period!
(But I do agree. I LOVED Ann growing up. And now that I'm making historical dress from the same time too, I keep wondering if I could make something matching the description of one of the book's outfits... it's just not easy if you're an adult because most of her dress fantasies are when she's a young kid!)
I can see where they got inspiration for marry Poppins
I would love to dress like this for a day. Maybe somewhere in England or France someone has a business that offers the clothes and pics. Would be a cool bday gift.
nappynatty10 Same! I wouldn't mind dressing like this at all.
Just the fact that you could get dressed so easily and do the hairstyle so quickly makes me think that you might be Mary Poppins.
the music kind of reminded me of Mary Poppins too
Its the same era.Mary Poppins takes place in the early 1900s.
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 😃
