I have this image in my head of a bunch of fancy Victorian ladies getting up from tea and then hopping up and down to fix their flounces before leaving the drawing room.
I expect a lady wearing a dress such as this would have had a maid helping her dress. It is refreshing to see you dressing yourself to show that, though it may be a bit challenging at times, one can dress oneself. The dress is stunning!!
that corset is gorgeous. love the color and the way the elements like gussets, flossing, and cording come together. corsets are such gorgeous pieces of undergarment
I love, love, love this dress. The 1850s-60s are my favorite period for fashion! I wish I could wear this so bad, I love the flounces and the sleeves. c:
I became oddly nostalgic watching this, as it made me think of the many Elsa Beskow books I read as a child. This dress looks so similar to what the ladies in her books wear (Aunt Brown, Aunt Green, and Aunt Lavender, if you ever want to look them up).
Oooh, I loved those! And Aunt Lavender's dresses especially. It's cool that as an adult you're more or less able to pinpoint the decade in which the books are set, based on the dress fashion, thanks to priorattire and others!
Honestly the “ugly” is genius! You wouldn’t need multiple “longer-visored” hats when just adding the ugly to whatever you were wearing was possible. And adjustable? Yes please!
I thought the little hop you do while adjusting your skirts was the most adorable, but then you tried on the various caps, and it got even cuter! I do hope you/your knitting friend will share some knitting patterns in a future book! I didn't expect to be so charmed by this dress, but you make it seem so lovely.
Ooooh the sunflower dress! I think this may be my favorite, of all the beautiful garments you've made. I remember seeing it for the first time and being like 😱
Is súper cute! I love how the false sleeves where a thing to minimize layera and still look puffy. The thing for the hat reminds me at those little unbrellas that some people use on theyr heads 😂. Wey should bring the pompomy cap into mainstream it's awesome!
I think this silhouette is my favorite from the Victorian era. It's just lovely. The outfit itself is quite lovely too. Although, those sleeves are giving me serious Elizabethan/Tudor vibes.
Basically look like a huge meringue :) What a beautiful dress, and informative video; I also liked the comparison with the working class woman's dress from last time.
Oh! I'm writing a story that takes place in the 1850s! What timing! Of course it's set in a little farming village out in California so there won't be a bustle in sight, but I feel like I'm going to have to have someone woman clearly "keeping up with the Joneses" wear one anyway. I wish I knew about "uglies" when I started, it would be perfect for this one character who wears an unfashionably face hiding bonnet because she has facial scars. That would be perfect for whenever she's off the farmstead.
I just sewed my first historical outfit. A Pet en l'air. I LOVED my pocket hoops. I'm looking and this and wondering how we went from ample pocket space to no pockets. lol
There is a very obscure movie with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Dame Maggie Smith named "Washington Square". It is also set in late 1850s. There is a very beautiful yellow day time bbq gown in that movie, and it reminds me of this dress.
I love your channel. It is so much fun. You are helping with my dolls. I make custom dolls and outfits. I love when you jump up and down. That dress is fantastic.
Always such a pleasure to watch you get dressed! Now that I just reread that, guess it doesn’t sound so nice, I’m tired and it’s late. But the dress is really beautiful!
Just subscribed because the 19th century history and attire in the USA and in the UK, Europe is so fascinating! You are thorough, informative, talented, and a lovely model for these interesting, beautiful garments! (including the "ugly")
Hello!! 🙂🙂 I live in Russia !! I really like your channel ... sometimes I watch the original, and sometimes I turn on subtitles😙😙😙. Thank you for telling and showing everything in detail !! 👍👍👍
Oh, the rustling of that taffeta! 😍👂🏻 What a gorgeous dress this is, giving me summer vibes! (or rather -longings, since all the rain that poured down these last weeks 🙄) Also... the subtitles are a hot but very funny mess 😄 ‘Queer spotters, particles, acrylic video, glances, organ d, wall sleeves’... time to educate the automatic system some Victorian vocabulary 🤪
I absolutely love the corset. I am goinfnto try and make myself one that is mostly corded. I want to use hemp rope for the cording. It's quite stiff and expands when washed so it would only tighten in the channels. I absolutely love the yellow fabric of this dress. So beautiful 😍
Yet another dress to add to my future project list 😆 I love these getting dressed videos. Especially when you show us variations of how to wear the same dress.
Your coronavirus cap is actually the cutest! It suits your outfit and made you look kinda like a delicate porcelain doll in a fancy shop that I would definitely fall in love with despite being an adult! Hope it sounds like a compliment to you because I was really trying to 🥰 Love dresses from this era and hope for more videos!
You are amazingly talented. I am just beginning and sorta struggling but I am getting there slowly. But until early next year I have to put it all on hold due pregnancy and the changes that come with it.
Thank you for this charming and educational video! You are adorable and your dressmaking skills are exceptional. I'm researching fashion in 1857, and now I understand the style so much better. Holy cow, I complain about dressing in layers for the Oregon winters, but that's _nothing_ compared to what women in the 19th century went through.
Oooh yay! I saw the photos on your instagram of this dress, and was really hoping you would be making a video of it! I just love how fun and fluffy these 1850s dresses are
This is once again a stunning dress Izabella :o I absolutely loved every moment of the video and great that you present different ways of wearing it. Thank you for taking your time to make this videos so we can dream some !
The hat with the pom-poms at the end reminded me of the pictures of old Hollywood stars where they have scarves wrapped around their heads to protect their hairdos. I wonder if the style of that hat inspired that look.
I recently had a dispute on the Internet (of course) about how much the dresses weighed in the 19th century, and they assured me that the weight sometimes reached 10 kg, and the underwear weighed about 2-3 kg. I do not believe it, but I would like some facts. Could you shoot an indicative video with weight of different dresses, for example, the 50s and 70s of the 19th century? Or maybe you have any information about it?
@@JB-vd8bi I am sure because I am from Russia and we measure weight in kilograms :) Of course it's a lot, but I was wondering how many actually weigh dress different decades of the 19th century
@@HellgaProtiv aren't russian dresses bedecked in crystals and metal threads? I've watched some Russian court documentaries that their court dresses were sometimes called "women's armour" because of how heavy the entire thing was
I love this. Especially the jumping to fix the flounces, I understand that so much, it is so hard to get them to sit right. I had one question though. When I made my first 1860s dress, I went to Gettysburg, and I bought a bonnet at a hat store in town, but the back of my neck ended up getting so sunburned. My face did a bit too, and the Ugly seems to be the solution to that problem, but... it only covers the front of your head. I see that your bonnet and neckline leave a bit of the back of your neck exposed. So in direct sun for hours, you would probably have the same problem I did. My neckline was a little lower in the back than yours in this dress, but it was still pretty high. And the bonnet bottom just doesn't cover the whole neck in any of these 1850s to 1860s fashions from what I can see. Was there anything they would use, aside from holding a parasol? I'm surprised the Ugly didn't go farther back to also solve the neck problem, but I guess keeping your face untanned was more important than the back of your neck at the time. Either way, I really love this dress, and the video was just great. The Coronavirus cap though was the best thing ever.
I remember my granny (born in 1897 in the American South) having a bonnet that she wore while working In her garden as having an extended “ruffle” on the back to protect the neck from sun. I wish I still had it but it disappeared after she died.
Minus the “Covid pompoms” I would actually wear that last knitted cap during the winter. It’s much cuter than many hats that I’ve seen and would actually keep my ears warm. You could start a side business selling them.😊
I have read accounts of men talking about the gentle swaying of the dresses women wore during this time. You see it plainly with your wire cage petticoat , it sways on its own. Beautiful dress!
PLEASE SHOW IT TO US!❣️ Where are you from? Keeping up traditional clothing, is very important today! We live in quick changing times. So it's a kind of DUTY, to show newer generations old tecniques. Please give it to us!
I love seeing all these beautiful dresses from different eras my all time favorite being the Victorian I would absolutely love to have a full costume dress from that age the best part is I already have boots (not authentic as I couldn't afford that lol) it would just be a lot of fun to have and use occasionally
Ah yes, the bouncing to settle the skirts. Especially with that many layers! I've been known to do that with modern clothing, just to make sure I've not managed to tuck things anywhere. I do love your videos, and all of your dresses.
I wonder if you can tell me if this is true. I listened to the director's commentary for the movie "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett. He mentioned that if a movie has a scene that needs extras in period dress in England, one simply needs to go to the local community to get all the extras needed.
I have this image in my head of a bunch of fancy Victorian ladies getting up from tea and then hopping up and down to fix their flounces before leaving the drawing room.
Yep me too believe me when I tell ya 😃
NICE 👍

Yess!
I have missed the "settle the flounces" jumping. I love it.
The rustling of all that taffeta! 😆 No sneaking up on someone in that outfit. Beautiful though!
tfw you're an assassin trying to sneak into the royal palace but the rustling of your skirts keeps alerting the guards
Its a sign of wealth to wear a noisy dress.
i lowkey love how you arent afraid of using colors that look like they belong on autocamper curtains, its sort of immersive
