I have never been in love with any TV show or obsessed with any entertainer in my life until Outlander & Sam Heughan came along & I will soon be 74. My day is absorbed re-watching & re-reading Outlander & going through Sam's Social Media. I'm in love with him & anything he gets involved in from his whisky, his new book & all of his movies and the ones coming out soon. He is an amazing actor & such an adorable person, not to mention that he is also gorgeous🤭
It's really amazing how much time, research and hard work they put into costumes. All of them are truly beautiful and make the show special. The costume designers really deserve an award!
Maybe Brianna's clothes are not historically accurate because the character was actually from the future and she could have altered her clothing to include fashion ideas from then. It's make believe so anything is possible!
Having read the books years before the show, I was very glad to see that Claire had her "sangre de Cristo" red Paris gown. But I'm STILL disappointed we never got to see her "apple green" velvet dress from Book 1, her lavendar silk gown with black coral pendant from Book 3, or the striped spring green gown of Jocasta's that was cut down for Claire. (In the books, Claire was married in a yellow dress. I figured Bree's wedding dress was sort of a nod to that.)
Before you do a video, you might want to check your pronunciations of the cast, designers and producers names. I do agree about Bree's wedding dress. 🙂
I think every costume from S1 through S5 are worthy of awards!! Why, why, why didn’t Terry and Trisha get a nomination for Costume Design? Their work was of the highest level of creativity, fabric and design!! Ladies, it is just total disregard by those that have control over this category!! It’s a total shame as y’all deserve the the highest reward out there for your work!! Just incredibly fabulous!! Thank you so very, very much, Terry and Trish, for your creativity, use of fantastic period pieces and reuse of those materials and being conciousof the period and what is available then!! Y’all are simply amazing!! We love Trish’s new designs but must tell you Terry, you are missed!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼📚📚📚🎥🎞🎬📺🥃🥃🧵🧵🧶🧶🏴🏴🏴
Brianna's wedding dress is vaguely reminiscent of a real 18th century dress shown at Tewkesbury Abbey in Antiques Roadshow. The real 18th century dress was off color white with painted floral vines, but it had an open front, presumably to show off some petticoat like undergarment. However it had more of a hip diameter, to accommodate the wider hooped undergarments of the day. Even so, without the hoops, at first look it had a similar esthetic impact and I found myself thinking, "Brie's dress!"
Did the narrator LOOK at Bree's wedding dress??? Do you know what an orange blossom looks like, cos those are Thistles. Thistles are a nod to SCOTLAND !!!. Over all a nice video much respect to the costume designers and the effort to be authentic. .
By the 3 minute mark you have mispronounced both Diana Gabaldon and Sam Heughan’s names. Can you not even be bothered to watch one other video where they are introduced correctly?
YOU DON’T PRONOUNCE THE LETTER G IN HEUGHAN!! ‘Lovat’ is pronounced Luvet, NOT ‘Loh-vet’. ‘VersailleS’??? The end ‘s’ is SILENT, For goodness sake! It’s French!
White, for bride's dresses, didn't become 'standard' until AFTER the wedding of Queen Victoria. Some were still made out of what people had. Personally, I HATED 'Claire's' red dress. However, I LOVED 'Louise's' green flowered dress, with all the bows down the front!@@tinahamilton9058
So you're just gonna leave in saying Balfe as "Balf" and then "Balfay"? Along with other mispronounced names and words.... Versailles is "Ver-Sigh" not "Ver-sigh-es". My god....🤦🤦😑😒
This morning I saw a post on Facebook which featured a dress from 1798 which was very similar to Bree's wedding dress, i.e. similar embroidery, color, scarf detail. So, the designer was much closer to historical accuracy than she knew!
All that talk of accuracy, and there's barely any revealing the source drawing or pattern. Save yourself some time, and watch one from a fashion historian.
Claire's wearing a gray dress and a tweed knitted dress in 2 scenes with Joe Abernathy in Boston hospital . I would absolutely love to have them in my wardrobe. And the brown fur neck warmer she is wearing in some episodes in season 1.
Claire’s wedding dress wasn’t 100% accurate either unfortunately. Her pleats in the back are a Victorian version of 18th century pleats. Her dress has cartridge pleats. 18th century used box pleats. You use a ton more fabric for cartridge pleats. That would have never been done in the 18th century because fabric was so expensive. Box pleats help you get the volume with less use of fabric. Even if Brianna’s dress wasn’t perfectly accurate. It was more accurate in the shape but with some modern additions. And I like that. Because it’s very much like Brianna.
I am not sure where you got that information about cartridge pleats, there are multiple surviving textiles from the 18th century that have cartridge pleating. You see them on surviving robe a la anglaise and few italian gowns. While it is not common, and you see knife pleats and box pleats more often, there is the odd dress with cartridge pleats. Cartridge pleating your skirts was a typically Dutch thing to do. It was popular in the Netherlands, despite not being at all fashionable in France or England. So with were Outlander is set, it makes sense and technically is accurate.
Vanessa Haugen I didn’t know it was popular in the Netherlands. It had become popular in the Victorian era to redo 18th century gowns and reuse them as costume gowns. Costume balls were very popular. So some remade them by adding cartridge pleats, redoing the stomach, etc.
So much wrong about this video but one thing that's really bothering me that I have to point out, they weren't orange blossoms on Brianna's wedding dress they were purple thistles, as In SCOTTISH purple thistles. Very clearly PURPLE. Claire only mentioned the orange blossoms because that's what she had imagined for Brie if shed gotten married in their own time.
Personally I hate how they handled the Fraser kilt. Bright colours were done naturally even back then, and they could at least have tried to make the pattern look more like the real Fraser kilt. Reddish and green dyes were available for 17th and 18th century weavers. They could have gone for the real pattern and have used a more muted natural dye colour sceme. Also they have used Blackwatch tartan for Mackenzie tartans sometimes in season one.
I read somewhere that the tartans were lost after they were outlawed, and no one knows for sure what the plaids looked like. Pictures and scraps of fabric were forbidden. True?
The "real" patterns as you call them were made up during Victoria's time in the reinventing of Scotland's history. And no, bright and true black dyes were unavailable until the development of the aniline dyes. Green was not available in Scotland, as it was a 2 fold process involving careridden dying with indigo from the Americas and then an overdying with yellow. The Scots would've used local Woad instead of the expensive and tricky indigo, which have a much inferior blue. Inferior both in colour intensity and in fastness. This 2 step process was difficult, and came out more often as one of the many shades of browns and greys. Not to mention, the fabrics were meant to disguise the men, and blend into the native landscape (think heather). Thus the various checks which gave a watching eye a more broken outline, rather than solid colours. Bright colours would've worked against that purpose. Note, I'm not denying that clans would favour one pattern over another, and that those patterns came to identify those groups. But that was an emergent purpose, not the initial one. The "Scotland" and it's tartans that emerged from Victorian England, never really existed as a real thing. Almost completely invented "out of whole cloth" so to speak. I hope this helps.
Trisha Biggar "did some Star Wars" ?! Not only did she design the entire, droolworthy wardrobe for Padme (38 outfits !), and every single costume for episodes 1 to 3 (And not for Rise of Skywalker, which is the clip shown). Her costumes are masterpieces, intricately detailed, so to reduce that work to "she did some Star Wars" is beyond ignorance, and slightly insulting ! It's like saying "Obama ? Oh he did some politics".
To the makers of this video - could you please remake with the CORRECT pronunciations!!?!?! - Lovat - Heughan - Versailles - Gabaldon and I'm not even half way through!!!
I can accept the costumes, I have reproduced costumes for many years. I am also a 30 year stylist and I absolutely cannot get past the horrible wigs on Outlander. You would think they would hire professional artists who could make the hairstyles more convincing and accurate. I can't keep my eyes off of Claire's horribly fake hairline in that terrible wig. And also, some girls in the 1960s used the iron on their hair, straightening was not a huge trend and hers it straight in the future. To give Brianna curly hair in the past is weird. If you look at other historical programs, Downton Abbey, Victoria, Versailles, Game of Throne's, etc, they all have been able to pull off amazing wig styles making you think the hair is natural. Next time you watch Outlander, pay attention to the wigs, they look terrible.
Martrixcolor, Thank-you! I thought I was the only picky crab who noticed. Considering the budget for the show one would think wardrobe/make-up could spring for some decent wigs.
Brianna has very twentieth century sensibilities, and her clothing in the books is hardly “historically accurate”. She is more comfortable in trousers and coats rather than petticoats and stays. They are accurate to the books.
The famous red dress has a silhouette that was appropriate for a later period. The width of the dress at the hips and the short hemline were not consistent with the fashions of the 1740's.
I love almost all of the costumes as they are magnificent! What I don't like is the knitwear - which you haven't mentioned in this video - all those chunky knit shawls, cowls and mittens are just too modern. Knitting was much finer in the past - chunky knitting in garter stitch with variegated yarn is very 21st century. A pity when they were so particular about the main part of the costume
The kilts would be more colorful because they would be something that you buy two and use them for decades, and they would be expensive because of that. And the person making them could take a lot of time dyeing because they wouldn't have a lot of costumers at once (you couldn't just walk into a shop and buy a kilt like you buy a shirt today). So more colorful kilts would be more historically correct and I would have liked to see that.
Most of those "New Look" Dior dresses for the France dresses are from the late 40-50s...AFTER she went thru the stones. So she wouldn't have known what those looked like. Clothing was still rationed and utility designed in 1946.
Terry Dresbach has said that Claire's French dresses were deliberately designed after a lot of New Look dresses to further illustrate how Claire is from another time period. (Which doesn't make you wrong. Just pointing out it was an artistic liberty.)
@@pompe221 yes, but the New Look came out AFTER she went thru the stones. She is supposed to have designed them herself in the books. They are STUNNING though.
You know it’s depressing I recognize the young Scottish guy who does survival greater kilts Videos they don’t even mention or credit him for taking clips
Beautiful costumes and I love the concept of the video but the execution was just miserable. Terrible voice, intonation and pronunciation all conspired to make the video practically unwatchable.
Agree-tbh ALL of her corsets (or stays as I suppose they were then) look so ill fitting and tight. Like damn, give her some breathing room-tightlacing isn't gonna become a thing for a while yet, guys. Let her chemise come up a bit, too, and save her skin from being cut into so much by her own stays.
@@joyholmes254 Oh, in America it's not illegal to wear a plaid and in the books it's said, that it was Hector Cameron's. Jocasta gave it to Jamie. If I remember correctly.
Queen Victoria was born in 1819. XIX Century. And she married Albert in 1840. Nothing to do to eighteen century's 1770s decade when Brianna wed Roger. This example of dress is not valid to criticize Brianna's wedding gown. Please, read a little before!
I didn't know Bree's wedding dress was made from Aunt Joscasta's. I didn't really like it. I know it was a pioneer time. But Jamie and Claire had nothing, but Claire still had a beautiful dress. Bree's was so plain. Jocasta had money. A lot of the gowns Bree wore while pregnant were prettier.
Personally as a costume design enthusiast I would disagree. Brianna's wedding dress is made from amazing fabric, and the embroidery is stunning. Especially incorperating scottish thistles is a cute detail. The cut also isn't too horrible... and the light colour obviously references more modern wedding dresses. Fits well for Brianna as she is a modern-ish person in historical time
Well, since they bought the dress from a brothel with coin that was meant for the Jacobites (Ned is the one who got it, I can't remember if it was his own money or whatever), it makes sense that Claire had such a beautiful dress. Bree's they had to rework or make themselves, so it makes sense that hers is more plain. It's lovely that Bree is safe among her family and can wear more modern styles, unlike her mother who had to try so hard to fit in for fear of being found out.
@@victoriarobb6563 I was thrilled to see Bree get married with her family. But her dresses when she was pregnant at Aunt Jocasta's were prettier. They could have done a better job. I did like the Scottish touches, and orange blossoms. I also thought since it was white, her beautiful red hair should have been worn down. But I guess being a Mom she had to give up the "maiden" look.
@@JeanBakula the dresses Bree wore at Jocasta's were "prettier," sure. But she didn't choose any of those; they're the style of the time. Her wedding dress is very like late 1960s wedding dresses (albiet with a much lovelier fabric, and it's a little longer than was fashionable in the 60s.) It's integral to Bree's character to show so obviously a difference in her dress, it shows a difference from the people around her. She does not fit in, and her costuming does a great job of showing that!
@@victoriarobb6563 She is trying to act like she fits in more than she does. We can agree to disagree. I didn't like the dress at all. It looked like an everyday dress. Bree wouldn't have worn dresses she hated while pregnant. She is too strong willed. It's OK to have different opinions.
If I could be woman and man, I would try alllllll the clothes, I loved historical vintage . Sometimes I surcharges for vintage patters online pdf, because here in Curacao I can’t buy them because we don’t have them, and now with the pandemic we are not receiving packeg and if I received it, it will costme a lot of money, I have to pay again here for the package and the service bahhhhh. A bigggg plus for outlander
"dirtier" 18th century, never mind that a white dress would have been prohibitively expensive and hard to maintain and likely unpopular (see: chemise a la Reine and Marie Antoinette) and that would be the reason behind not putting Claire in a white dress.
Allthough I admire the way all the costumes are designed and made, the ones that are influenced by modern time are for me the least interesting, I prefere stricktly period correctness. So which ones do I like most, well, the simple Scottisch outfits, tartan skirt with bodice and sjawl.
Just how can the wedding dress be accurate? just because they showed lots of cleavage doesn't mean you can just show it in anyway possible. Its like saying germans invented the bratwurst so everybody eating a sausage must be german. You can even see the correct way in most other dresses. The shape of the skirt is really odd compared to the well defined form the pochen should actually create, what happened with the sheer, shoulder showing sleeves an isn't that a sipper in the back? And with this one you can't really talk it away by saying she's from the 1950s because she didn't design the dress.
I absolutely cannot handle this narrator not knowing how to pronounce words. Sweetie, that's your job. It's your whole job to know words. How lazy do you have to be to not even bother to learn how to say the character's names or be able to read quotes straight from text. Omg, I wanted to throw my phone across the room!
Porque son tan discriminadores y no subtitulan sus conentarios y entrevistas, los latinos somos también fanáticos de todas estas noticias y se esta serie outlander...tendrian millones de suscriptores más... Ojalá sean más inclusivos.
You continue to mispronounce simple place names!! Try turning down the annoying excitement in your voice and learn how to pronounce people, by their correct names 😱
Please, please, please, pronounce Sam & Caitronia ‘s names correctly. Sam’s last name is pronounced “hewan”. Caitronia is pronounced Katrina. Her last name is Balf-the e is not pronounced. These pronunciation errors show laziness on the part of these videos’ producers & narrators. Shame.
I have never been in love with any TV show or obsessed with any entertainer in my life until Outlander & Sam Heughan came along & I will soon be 74. My day is absorbed re-watching & re-reading Outlander & going through Sam's Social Media.

True and as it's said Bri and Claire also wanted the wedding dress to look more modern, because Bri originally wanted to wed in the 20th century.
@@lilymorgenstern512 yes! I came to this comment section to also tell this. But you beat me to it. 👍
The designers said they had Bri and Claire make those alterations in purpose. They're marrying the 1760s and the 1960s on purpose
Briana's dress is bland and uggly.🙈
Bri's wedding dress has not orange blossoms but thistles, which is a nod to their Scottish origin!
Having read the books years before the show, I was very glad to see that Claire had her "sangre de Cristo" red Paris gown. But I'm STILL disappointed we never got to see her "apple green" velvet dress from Book 1, her lavendar silk gown with black coral pendant from Book 3, or the striped spring green gown of Jocasta's that was cut down for Claire. (In the books, Claire was married in a yellow dress. I figured Bree's wedding dress was sort of a nod to that.)

Claire's wedding dress was amazing! Then again, all of the costumes are amazing!
So many mispronounced words and names. This video needs editing.
They NEED to feed the AI proper pronunciations!😠
6:14 the pronunciation killed me lmaoooo
It was so bad lol
What's weird is that she pronounced it right earlier in the vid!!
Love the costumes and love the dedication of all.
My favourite is Jamie's birthday suit ...
Here, here!

the mispronouncements were very distracting.
Caitriona Balfe also
I think it's a computer voice.
It is getting old. I may stop watching their videos. Just pathetic.
And “Versize” lol
Great work on all the outfits! To span all the years, total different worlds...everything was perfect. Loved them all! 🥀
YOU DON’T PRONOUNCE THE LETTER G IN HEUGHAN!!
‘Lovat’ is pronounced Luvet, NOT ‘Loh-vet’. ‘VersailleS’??? The end ‘s’ is SILENT, For goodness sake! It’s French!
I am in love with Bree's knitted wrap when she met Jamie. I'd love to have one.
White gowns for weddings weren’t popular until Queen Victoria’s time if I remember correctly.
But since they were from the future, they chose the white wedding gown that already had become standard for brides.
White, for bride's dresses, didn't become 'standard' until AFTER the wedding of Queen Victoria. Some were still made out of what people had. Personally, I HATED 'Claire's' red dress. However, I LOVED 'Louise's' green flowered dress, with all the bows down the front!@@tinahamilton9058

Alex Williams. Exactly!! Americans don’t know how to pronounce anything but American English.
If I are these narrators and I didnt know how to say the name/word - I would find out! It's not hard, Google is RIGHT THERE!!!
Did she say “Ver-sighs”?
It can be said in many ways, here in the UK that’s how the majority of us pronounce it aswell as some Parisians
@@nessadrake I have never heard Versailles pronounced like that
No, she said Vur-size 🧐🙅🏽♀️ the worst!
Many authentic tartans come in regular, dress, and weathered versions. Sam's tartan looks weathered.
So much wrong about this video but one thing that's really bothering me that I have to point out, they weren't orange blossoms on Brianna's wedding dress they were purple thistles, as In SCOTTISH purple thistles. Very clearly PURPLE. Claire only mentioned the orange blossoms because that's what she had imagined for Brie if shed gotten married in their own time.
Personally I hate how they handled the Fraser kilt. Bright colours were done naturally even back then, and they could at least have tried to make the pattern look more like the real Fraser kilt. Reddish and green dyes were available for 17th and 18th century weavers. They could have gone for the real pattern and have used a more muted natural dye colour sceme. Also they have used Blackwatch tartan for Mackenzie tartans sometimes in season one.
They created new tartans designs especially for the show. And it's not a documentary. They made it their own way.
I read somewhere that the tartans were lost after they were outlawed, and no one knows for sure what the plaids looked like. Pictures and scraps of fabric were forbidden. True?
The "real" patterns as you call them were made up during Victoria's time in the reinventing of Scotland's history.

The most inaccurate thing in Outlander? The Frasier's Ridge house!!! Victorian 100% You did NOT have porches in the 18th century.
True, but it was Claire's vision. Same reason her red dress in France was so inaccurate! It's based on modern things she likes.
@@victoriarobb6563 Fair enough. That would help explain it.

Like damn, give her some breathing room-tightlacing isn't gonna become a thing for a while yet, guys. Let her chemise come up a bit, too, and save her skin from being cut into so much by her own stays.
love her red dress
The word is infinite not indefinite. Not only are the words spelled differently but their meanings are quite different as well.
Claire makes a great Jackie O.
wasnt it cold in Scotland, it being farther north
Bree's multi-colored wool shawl is definitely not accurate. They didn't have variegated wools back then.
I always loved it when Jaime wore his plaids. But the question is, where did he get the plaid when wearing the plaid is illeagal.
When was he wearing a plaid after 45' in Scotland? Can't remember.
Lily Morgenstern he is shown wearing his kilt in Season 5, but that was when they were in America and my guess is that he keeps in hidden away.
@@joyholmes254 Oh, in America it's not illegal to wear a plaid and in the books it's said, that it was Hector Cameron's. Jocasta gave it to Jamie. If I remember correctly.
Queen Victoria was born in 1819. XIX Century. And she married Albert in 1840. Nothing to do to eighteen century's 1770s decade when Brianna wed Roger. This example of dress is not valid to criticize Brianna's wedding gown. Please, read a little before!
I didn't know Bree's wedding dress was made from Aunt Joscasta's. I didn't really like it. I know it was a pioneer time. But Jamie and Claire had nothing, but Claire still had a beautiful dress. Bree's was so plain. Jocasta had money. A lot of the gowns Bree wore while pregnant were prettier.
Personally as a costume design enthusiast I would disagree. Brianna's wedding dress is made from amazing fabric, and the embroidery is stunning. Especially incorperating scottish thistles is a cute detail. The cut also isn't too horrible... and the light colour obviously references more modern wedding dresses. Fits well for Brianna as she is a modern-ish person in historical time
Well, since they bought the dress from a brothel with coin that was meant for the Jacobites (Ned is the one who got it, I can't remember if it was his own money or whatever), it makes sense that Claire had such a beautiful dress. Bree's they had to rework or make themselves, so it makes sense that hers is more plain. It's lovely that Bree is safe among her family and can wear more modern styles, unlike her mother who had to try so hard to fit in for fear of being found out.
@@victoriarobb6563 I was thrilled to see Bree get married with her family. But her dresses when she was pregnant at Aunt Jocasta's were prettier. They could have done a better job. I did like the Scottish touches, and orange blossoms. I also thought since it was white, her beautiful red hair should have been worn down. But I guess being a Mom she had to give up the "maiden" look.
@@JeanBakula the dresses Bree wore at Jocasta's were "prettier," sure. But she didn't choose any of those; they're the style of the time. Her wedding dress is very like late 1960s wedding dresses (albiet with a much lovelier fabric, and it's a little longer than was fashionable in the 60s.) It's integral to Bree's character to show so obviously a difference in her dress, it shows a difference from the people around her. She does not fit in, and her costuming does a great job of showing that!
@@victoriarobb6563 She is trying to act like she fits in more than she does. We can agree to disagree. I didn't like the dress at all. It looked like an everyday dress. Bree wouldn't have worn dresses she hated while pregnant. She is too strong willed. It's OK to have different opinions.
Love the clothes
If I could be woman and man, I would try alllllll the clothes, I loved historical vintage . Sometimes I surcharges for vintage patters online pdf, because here in Curacao I can’t buy them because we don’t have them, and now with the pandemic we are not receiving packeg and if I received it, it will costme a lot of money, I have to pay again here for the package and the service bahhhhh. A bigggg plus for outlander
i'm sorry, CatriOna Balfé???
Amo essa serie
"dirtier" 18th century, never mind that a white dress would have been prohibitively expensive and hard to maintain and likely unpopular (see: chemise a la Reine and Marie Antoinette) and that would be the reason behind not putting Claire in a white dress.
add the subtittles , pls .
Allthough I admire the way all the costumes are designed and made, the ones that are influenced by modern time are for me the least interesting, I prefere stricktly period correctness. So which ones do I like most, well, the simple Scottisch outfits, tartan skirt with bodice and sjawl.
Don't think Breeanna's dress was meant to be historically accurate. Just like the house has touches of the future she comes from.
Just how can the wedding dress be accurate? just because they showed lots of cleavage doesn't mean you can just show it in anyway possible. Its like saying germans invented the bratwurst so everybody eating a sausage must be german. You can even see the correct way in most other dresses. The shape of the skirt is really odd compared to the well defined form the pochen should actually create, what happened with the sheer, shoulder showing sleeves an isn't that a sipper in the back? And with this one you can't really talk it away by saying she's from the 1950s because she didn't design the dress.
So nobody is going to talk about the dress the lady wore in prince Charles party S2E2
I absolutely cannot handle this narrator not knowing how to pronounce words. Sweetie, that's your job. It's your whole job to know words. How lazy do you have to be to not even bother to learn how to say the character's names or be able to read quotes straight from text. Omg, I wanted to throw my phone across the room!
I think she pronounced literally every name wrong she could.
Mispronounced names.
Wow...you pronounced Caitriona's name so wrong. Among many other words. No bueno.
Her name is pronounced Katrina.
The word is "infinite"...not "indefinite"...
Mispronunciations and bad spelling
Balf! Balfy! Ugh the pronunciation is terrible. Phonetically in Irish it's "Bay- lif"
Clairs dress is tartan not plaid 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Can you please check your pronunciation of people and places names!!!!
HewGAN! 🤦♀️
MurTOG! 🤦♀️
GlasgOW! 🤦♀️
LOAVEat 🤦♀️
Sort it out Janet!
Porque son tan discriminadores y no subtitulan sus conentarios y entrevistas, los latinos somos también fanáticos de todas estas noticias y se esta serie outlander...tendrian millones de suscriptores más... Ojalá sean más inclusivos.
You continue to mispronounce simple place names!!
Try turning down the annoying excitement in your voice and learn how to pronounce people, by their correct names 😱
can we get narrators that know how to pronounce the names?
❤️❤️❤️
Infinite 🤦🏼♀️
OMG!! They can’t even pronounce the actors’ names correctly!! And since when has “Cat” been known as “Kate”???
Who cares they are still beautiful
I didn’t like the neckline of the wedding dress at all. One inch more coverage and it would have been perfect. Near nipslip.... yikes.
They didn't really care
Please, please, please, pronounce Sam & Caitronia ‘s names correctly. Sam’s last name is pronounced “hewan”.
Caitronia is pronounced Katrina. Her last name is Balf-the e is not pronounced. These pronunciation errors show laziness on the part of these videos’ producers & narrators. Shame.
My god. Is there a worse narrator available? You all must have scraped the bottoms of a lot a barrels...
Jenn voice doesn't suit to the ear..........
Trisha Bigger spoiled everything...Terry has such a talent. Show lost something... hearty....with her leaving!
You don't say the g in Heughan. Also, this narration is super obnoxious
Always WHY?!!! If you’re narrating a video about subject upon which you know nothing about, research pronunciations!!
Not a huge fan of the narration. Mispronounced names and the weird voice ending. She needs to find another job.
It's a computer generated voice.
Could you have pronounced even ONE name correctly?
Now, be fair. She rolled out "Sam" like a boss! LOLOL.
