    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!!

    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).

    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.

    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.

  • @AuroraMarija
    @AuroraMarija 3 года назад +9

    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.
