This video is fantastic. It is particularly valuable in its comparison of the different classes - not just visually, but with detailed information explaining those differences. Can't thank you enough!
The look of the middle class is sublime. ....But the comfort of the lower class is so appealing. The corset can be as roomy as she likes, then, as her top and scarf aren't buttoned or pinned...! So comfy. The scarf & apron would be nicely washable. The skirt, sturdy enough to only need a brushing to get clean. The same pair of pockets everyday... I love it.
I would say that the stay that is the hardest to put on/lace on was worn by the upper class, because they had staff to help them. I even heard that upper class people would wear impossible clothing on purpose, just to show that they had the staff to help them put it on. So I would say a stay that is laced in the front is for lower class people, and the one that is laced in the back is for upper class. Of course besides the difference in quality.
@@sewthroughtime I meant the timing of each step. The voiceover works marvelously because the each "person" matched the moment to don the next item. I thought that was clever. The colour palette is lovely too!
I have this pet theory that upper class people wore their garters above their knees and lower class people tied them below the knee. This applies to both women and men. Working class people had to do a lot more physical tasks and movement than their upper class counterparts, so naturally their stockings were more prone to falling down. To prevent this, they would probably have preferred to tie their garters right below the knee, where it was most secure. The upper classes, on the other hand, could afford to wear their stockings in a more dainty style and often tied their garters above the knee to ensure their stockings stayed thigh-high. Obviously, wearing garters like this would be more cumbersome and restrict movement, so it wasn't suited for people who had to do manual labor. Gartering the stockings above the knee wasn't as secure as below, so the fancy silk stockings would often slip down beneath their skirts or breeches, so I also think upper class folk would've had to be more mindful of their legwear.
@@sewthroughtimeSometimes they are! The paintings of Hogarth and Fragonard come to mind, they feature plenty of women with their skirts hiked up, exposing garters tied above their knees. I've seen various paintings and cartoons from the 18th century that suggest upper class men wore their garters above the knee as well. You have Jean Baptiste Huet, who's paintings invariably display a pink or red garter peeking out from the male figures' lower thighs. And if you observe all of those seated portraits of noblemen and statemen from the 18th century, you'll see that their posing almost always causes the pants legs of their breeches to ride up, showing silky stockinged knees... yet there's no garters to be seen. I think the only way the men could've styled their hosiery to achieve this effect is to tie their garters above the knee, otherwise the stockings would slip down to their ankles all day long.
Yes I'm aware 😏 I was talking about your theory that poorer people would wear garters lower. All the images were I have noticed garters are above the knee but I have to check since there are plenty of images with women working with their skirts hiked out of the way
Oh thankyou so much i just come from instagram to find your channel. Honestly its fancinating! Each is beautiful 😍. Im working on my family tree and its so cool seeing the fashion for all my ancestors ❤️
Я сначала думала, что это соревнование: кто из 3 женщин оденется первый😂. Нелегка была жизнь в 18 веке- час уйдёт на одевание, а то и больше)) Спасибо за видео!
Yeah but it wasn't to bad because a) they were all made out of breathable natural materials and allowed some air flow due to the loose fit and b) the strength of the stays supported all the weight so that it didn't weigh them down!
Linen and wool are very breathable. They tend to be more comfortable in a variety of weather conditions compared to synthetic fabrics. Synthetics fabrics don't breath as well as natural fabrics, especially in hot weather.
I was wondering what Claire's outfits were trying to emulate in the later seasons of Outlander, they felt anachronistic for the 18th century but not representative of 50s and 60s sensibilities, now that I know what a bedgown is (i saw jackets that look similar on older flemish portraits but i didn't make the link and assumed it was out of fashion and highly regional) i now realise she's mostly wearing bedgowns that are sometimes knitted using 20th century technics (although they are more representative of 21st century tastes but it's quite reminiscent of the cawls she wore in the early seasons) A dutch jacket i adore that is homed at the Rijksmuseum or the met, can't remember which, has the necklace reaching all the way underneath the breasts, i used to assume the space was filled with the fichu but looking at traditional Frisian and some traditional dutch dress it could have been some thing similar to the "front zone" gown shown here, maybe with stays, a stomacher or a corset hiding it all
With the way the outter layers are held by pins , and by an apron only even. I would have been so worried that if i move too much everything will come undone and in would end in my underwear XD
This is well done, I love to see the difference in styles, and this is one of my favorite eras for fashion! I am curious about the glasses on the working class costume, were they common during this time amongst the lower classes? If so, were they more common amongst the lower classes than upper? I would have assumed the more wealthy would be able to afford glasses more readily than lower class and that glasses would be more prominent amongst them, as contacts would not have been an option at the time.
@catepilarr I am pretty sure they could be. This video is done with a lot of precision, and the glasses are for purpose. Besides, those are not modern glasses. End of 18 century, era of Enlightment, glasses where not uncommon. Besides, this working class women is dressed pretty fine, so she could be a servant in a rich household, and with some status, for example senior of the kitchen. So she could afford glasses if she needed them. I think lower working classes, like peasant women or hard working women in manufactures, wore two times less clothes than this woman, out of powerty.
Let me just say the working class lady putting on the corset the way she was doing it from behind her was a amazing feat and this is another reason why Men don't wear them we just couldn't do that period.
Nightgown is misleadingly another name for the english gown the middle class woman is wearing 😅 but yes a shift possibly a separate one would be for sleeping. Regular sewing pins but theirs would have been slightly more heavy-duty. Reenactment stores carry the more accurate versions
No wonder Europeans gave up on their traditional dresses long ago unlike India where women still wear traditional clothes in their daily lives as they were so easy to wear
It's based on the shapes of originals just using my measurements but as far as I know the Burnley and Trowbridge pattern has the same basic shape to it
I'm a bit confused by the wooden busk. I've never seen anyone replicating this era use it, as it doesn't seem to offer any support that isn't given by the stays. Also confused about the positioning of the layers of the skirts. Is there a reason the upper class bum pad was placed over the petticoat and underneath for the middle class?
In this particular style it goes over so that the petticoat doesn't have to accommodate the shape and can be worn with other gowns and jackets because that specific bum pad requires a huge amount of room in the skirt. It's a style choice not a class difference.
Great video. When i wear my historical costumes i always put my shoes on just before my corset, just because its easier to get them on. Does it matter?
I’m not through with watching yet, but before I need to take a break and start getting ready for my own day - how long does it take for you to get dressed in these outfits? And how acceptable would it have been to deviate from those norms? In modern times, it would be weird (and probably inappropriate) for me to go into town in my PJs, but perfectly fine to just slip out and grab my mail in that same outfit. But I’m assuming there’s no equivalent to this sort of “you’re in public, but everyone knows you aren’t actually out and about yet”?
If I lived in that time, I just wouldn't wear the corset, unless it was the front lacing one or someone was putting it on me. I can't reach my arms around my back like that. I have to do my bra up at the front and then spin it around and hoick it up into place. 😅😂
In the half way they look like princess bt that spects dress looks like a maid dress at the end… so for that why she has to wear that many dresses when finally wears just plain loose outfit
By the 1780s many Choctaw were dressing like this. Pushmataha's family above Mobile were dressing much like the English and later the Spanish, before US territorial capitols at St Stephens were built innthe early 1800s. Wealthy Cherokee, Creek and Chickasaw families were living in multistory brick manor houses on the Tennessee and Chattahoochee rivers by 1800. The Choctaw along the Mobile had been mixing and trading in European goods going back to 1700 as they were often land speculators to the three colonial dynasties.
I would have got very unhappy if I had to put all these pieces every day on and off. My outfit consists normally of ca.5 pieces, and I consider it a cumbersome excersise to put them all on. I dream about a piece of cloths, kind of jump-suit, where other pieces like underwear and socks would be already attached, so I could be ready just putting one piece on. 😁 Great job, this video. Very interesting to see!
@@sewthroughtime love the obnoxious bigotted misandrist comments, pretty sure it's women who design women clothes in 21st century, just had to ruin the video, blocked
@@sewthroughtimemisandristic bigot, there's nothing practical about wearing corset... such a stupid comment but that's to be expected from a woman bigot
Mesmerising video. Thank you. For my taste, the middle class women is the finest here. Working class lacks luxury, and the upper class looks a bit ridiculous with this artificial bum. Also it always amases me, how sexy the outfits of upper class were. All those corsets and boobs falling out of décolleté... a woman wearing this style in everyday life these days would be treated as very unmodest 😅.
First of all, there are nor corsets in the video, wrong time, different construction etc. Secondly, corsets and stays are very practical, giving bust support, helping with carrying stuff and distributing the weight of the skirts, meaning you could layer reaching great isolation and not needing different garments for different seasons. Corsets are also very comfy given they fit and are not laced tighter then comfortable. The myth of corsets being some terrible thing forced upon women stems from men, people who never wore one, and rail thin actresses getting forced into way to small, badly fit corsets with no time to aclimate and no one knowing what they are doing. On the comfort of stays as worn here I can not comment in own experience, but since you cant tightlace them rven if you wanted... Kindly, a corset wearer in a physically demanding job( carpentry)
Не понятно, почему женщины рабочего класса не могли носить просто обычное платье - зачем корсет? Всё равно не заметно его. Одежда среднего класса относительно приемлема. Но вот в одежде женщин первого класса было бы просто смешно ходить, с точки зрения современной женщины. И одеваться так долго ежедневно, а потом ещё и раздеваться... Благо, сейчас этого нет! Конечно, им это казалось нормальным.
Це все круто, проте окуляри все псують. На той час окуляри коштували стільки, що бідна жінка мусила б заробляти на них грошей упродовж кількох років і живитися тільки найдешевшим хлібом і водою з Темзи!
You say as if modern clothing without layers would not demand you having seperate pieces for 3 seasonalities... While they came by with mostly wearing the same pieces all year long pretty comfortable
All that extra stuff is ridiculous. Why make your butt look huge? I would have been the type to not bother with all the extra crap i would put the dress on and be done with it.
Why do people by push up bras? Why are plastic surgeries a thing, why are all model shoots extreamly photoshopped?! Why is make up a thing? Silly silly people from the past, vanity is a privilage of only modern peoole should have You clearly understand very little if you assume just a dress would have been the practical l and sensible thing to do. Wearing a shift/smock/chemise underneith keeps the dress clean from sweat and such, meaning you do not have to wash it as often, meaning it will last you longer and and saves you work. The stays... Would you prefere not wearing any bust support?! Not really socially acceptable nowerdays and not practical for physical labor. The stays also destribute the weight of the skirts and pockets, mraning you can carry quite a bit of weight without any discomfort and instead of having heavy expensiv winter wear, you reach equal if not better isolation through layering. All the different layers and pieces mostly fullfill deeply practical functions making the outfit highly addaptable to circumstances, like different weather, dressing up or dressing down....
Fascinating. By the end, I had almost forgotten it was the same person in each segment. Excellent editing.
Thanks ❤️
I did mot notice!!!!😅
Excellent comparison - I like how you specify the materials and why each class wears particular items.

Pretty sure the reason they had people helping them put it on is because they were rich and could afford to have people dress them.
Came over from IG. This is so cool! I love the class contrast. Must've been quite the planning process to time each section to match up so well!
Not really, I tend to go with a certain color palette and then things just match.

You say as if modern clothing without layers would not demand you having seperate pieces for 3 seasonalities... While they came by with mostly wearing the same pieces all year long pretty comfortable
All that extra stuff is ridiculous. Why make your butt look huge? I would have been the type to not bother with all the extra crap i would put the dress on and be done with it.
Why do people by push up bras? Why are plastic surgeries a thing, why are all model shoots extreamly photoshopped?!
Why is make up a thing?
Silly silly people from the past, vanity is a privilage of only modern peoole should have
You clearly understand very little if you assume just a dress would have been the practical l and sensible thing to do.
Wearing a shift/smock/chemise underneith keeps the dress clean from sweat and such, meaning you do not have to wash it as often, meaning it will last you longer and and saves you work.
The stays... Would you prefere not wearing any bust support?! Not really socially acceptable nowerdays and not practical for physical labor.
The stays also destribute the weight of the skirts and pockets, mraning you can carry quite a bit of weight without any discomfort and instead of having heavy expensiv winter wear, you reach equal if not better isolation through layering.
All the different layers and pieces mostly fullfill deeply practical functions making the outfit highly addaptable to circumstances, like different weather, dressing up or dressing down....
