Of course its all about preferences. And some do prefer wired bras. But. In my personal opinion i am always my most comfortable in a corset (or stays). I usually go for a corset because im looking for back support and lift sinxe i have a larger chest. Wearing a bra leaves with aching shoulders, strap marks, and tense muscles in mu upper back. My corset removes all of that for me. Corsets and stays of anu kind over a bra for anything in my opinion. Plus they always make me secure and confident as well. Which i love.
just start wearing short stays. people are already running around dressed in period clothing for day-to-day life, im sure no one will care you're wearing outdated underwear. especially if it's more comfortable for you. admittedly, you might have to make your own because i dont think a lot of places sell short stays.
I would probably prefer the short stays, as wired bra have had a tendency to feel weird and break making the wire poke at you. So personally I’d like them to be an acceptable option now
It’s so funny that people on RUclips/TikTok are more accurate on historical fashion than the big budget movies and shows. They should take some pointers and start looking on social media to hire consultants or fashion directors!
Shows like bridgerton purposely chose not to be historically accurate - it’s cheaper but to also fits into the fantasy side did the show. In a the Favourite the costumes are also in a far more monotone palette than would be normal for the period and there are stylistic liberties but to all fits to the way the story is told. If however a film or show wants 100% accuracy that is possible but very expensive and time consuming - for example Emma. I wouldn’t assume that the shows are at all lacking in the ability to dress their shoes in a historically accurate fashion, their making a. Conscious choice not to.
@@D31taF0rc3 A friend of mine is a costumer (she's done some Marvel movies, for example), and basically, they have to do what they're told, which will be "what the audience expects." So as the producers have more faith in us, they'll stop putting horns on Viking helmets. Until then...
I was confused when I watched the first episode where they were lacing on corsets because I knew that they would have used short stays with the new fashion. The queen's attendants would have worn corsets because they still wore the older fashion that Queen Charlotte preferred. I actually liked that use of fashion to differentiate between the old monarchy and the new regency of Prince George.
I will note that the queen and her attendants wouldn’t be wearing corsets either (based off of the type of dressings they’re in), they would still be wearing stays. Although, the queen and king should be wearing the hottest fashion and be ahead of everyone else as the monarchy lead the fashion trends (like queen Victoria and the Victorian age). Technically, if we really wanna get historical, the queen nor king would be wearing powdered hair as the king and queen of France was killed over their luxurious fashion and spending money. The powdered hair would’ve been very big controversy and not in a good way 😅
Maybe that corset scene was a node to Gone With The Wind corset scene. And ya Bridgerton the TV sucks. The books are far far better. The TV line of thought should've been steampunk instead of trying to pass it off as somewhat historically acceptable. And some of the characters just aren't true to the books. And that's a shame cause when I read a historical or period novel I want my stories to represent the time period not 21st century with historical clothing. Edit: typos
@gabbief789 depending on the time period the terms corset and stays coild be used interchangeably. Victorians occasionally referred to corsets as stays. They could also been referred to as a pair of bodies or bodies. In modern vernacular corset is a general catch all for body shaping undergarment. The RUclips algorithm favors the term corset over stays so many creators use corset when talking about underpinnings.
@@gabbief789, my understanding is that while the fashions changed, Charlotte preferred the older, mantua styles and sack gowns, so she wasn’t keeping up with the trends.
@@ItsJustLisa that could be true for the story! But I’m talking in strictly historical sense, it would not work in a literal historical sense as their neighbors (the French) would have just killed their monarchs and powdered hair become a big social no no along with heavily taxed. But since it’s fiction, it doesn’t need to follow those rules. I was just pointing out the historical context 😁
I'm not going to lie, if I could find and afford these kinds of clothes I would be so into wearing them. I might get some side eye because it's not "trendy" but honestly.... All these regal Renaissance dresses would make me feel like a very pretty lady 😍
I would also wear historical fashion if I had the money and access to it. (Small correction: the Renaissance was a period from the late 1400s to mid 1500s, and the early 1800s was not part of that. 1800-1820s aka “Bridgerton” is typically referred to as the regency era)
I encourage you to look into historybounding! :) Micarah Tewers sewed a very simple regency-like dress that has the look. She made one of her tutorials, as in she measures everything in bananas and ferrets, but you should get the gist. You can shorten them for less obviously regency looks if you want. :)
the fashion was definitely revolutionarily relaxed/comfy/shapeless! i think its so cool to see how, just like politics were being overhauled around the turn of the 18th into 19th century, society and therefore fashion were changing like crazy! and then it swung back again to more rigid, arguably restrictive fashion by the mid 19th century
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret Yes, but could you imagine having to wear like back in the Marie-Antoinette day and having to use our bathrooms now lol. The regency era would’ve been so much easier.
@@elizabethjones2377 Yes, it is funny to see how fashion revolves around politics even today. If you remember back in the 1950s we were modest now today the Morris can you show the better and look at where our morals are.
They do. Professionals work on these movie sets. As she said Bridgerton is a historical fantasy show. It's not supposed to be historically accurate. No one messed up, no one was being lazy. This is the way it's supposed to be. It's the same with the music and culture on Bidgerton. It's a modern, romantacized take on regency era Britain.
They do this for the people watching the show. Most basic viewers have no idea about historical fashion You say period piece in Britain and people think corsets! So they put it in the show so people have something to relate to the fluffed up idea of the time in their head not what is historically accurate.
@@snickeringpigeon4370if it's fantasy why not give them bras or bralettes or something fun. I can't imagine a fantasy world imagined by women where we want to wear really tight and possibly poorly fitted corsets. To me it's obvious what they were trying to do.
The painting that I have of my great, great, great, great, great grandmother circa 1805-1818 shows off her upper chest including cleavage almost to the extent one would expect at the beach today (in the USA)
I wish the outfits matched the time periods because WHY set something in a time and not use the outfits? Clothing reflects SOOOOO much of what's going on culturally in the time period!
I would usually agree, but if we're not going for historical accuracy and it's a clear choice by the costume designer, as is the case with Bridgerton, then I don't mind. The only gripe I have is the corset melodrama, which is beyond stupid, but I actually like what they've done with the Regency meets modern meet fantasy look.
I always felt like the regency period was way more comfortable style wise than any other period during the eighteen hundreds. Those dresses looked pretty dang comfortable
Thank god we don’t dress like this anymore. Because one, this dress is super unflattering, and two, the earth is much hotter than it was in regency times.
@@PanicInDuckyme too lol! I have an hourglass/pear ish shaped body, and I literally don’t wear anything without waist definition since my hips are the widest part of me, it makes me look like a box.
I disagree so much haha... I love pretty much all historical fashion eras except for regency, I've always thought regency dresses look completely unflattering on literally everyone 😭😂
My favorite! I always thought I’d want to swan around in a massive hooped skirt (and I still do) but this era is so beautiful, and so comfortable. I remember one year a while back (Jen was still married to Brad) when empire waists were popular and I was so excited that Jennifer A and Giselle B both wore an empire white gown to events. Didn’t like that they were sleeveless, but they were gorgeous! It’s odd to me how things like empire waists and boat neck shirts are so classic and elegant, but it’s like an epic mission to find anything cut this way. I have boat neck tops I’ve treated like treasures for years, because I can’t replace them.
@@raerohan4241 I definitely agree with you because I have a rather large chest and I am not a traditionally skinny girl, so I feel like that design would make me look larger.
@@skolas-aditya Tysm for the reommendations! I love the VVitch, that one is wonderful. I haven't seen the others yet, I'll definitely have to check them out!
As someone who reads a lot of Regency romance novels, and has looked up so many various clothing aspects, but still sometimes had difficulty imagining certain items...I love you right now. Thank you for this video
Agreed, I think the problem with bridgerton is that they hired a 21st century corset maker that tightlaces down to an 18" waist. Regency stays were not meant to be tightly laced or heavily boned.
Somebody brought out a really good perspective on the whole corset thing that they were already taking already very lean actresses, and trying to scale them down to even the smaller size, this obsession with smallness and daintiness when that’s not how those garments work, and how they don’t even have the budget to invest in proper fitting undergarments for these outfits, and if they do, they get them undersized to plant that a lot of the actresses that interact with this are having the warped perspective on things that are hurting when they are not supposed to.
This! And while there is an argument against corsets or other support/shapewear, people forget that back then these undergarments were tailored and made with the wearer's measurements to achieve a comfortable fit especially if they are expected to wear this for certain periods of time and under many layers of clothing. And support/shapewear was also seen as a way to achieve the silhouette that was currently in style, which was aided by various other layers in the outfit, not just by the shapewear alone. A corset that properly fits you should be comfortable; and you don't necessarily even need to splurge on getting one tailored for you either as long as you find one that fits right and feels comfortable.
@@missingwalle9364 right on. We know a lot more about it now than we did in the past 70 to 90 years for film, especially with mantua makers in the 1700s, and the radiating outward professions that meant a great deal for women’s clothing.
I thought that too until I made long stays, which were definitely a thing during the time period despite what she says in the video. It changes the way everything hangs on the body, and if properly made, they don't need to be uncomfortable.
my only issue is that the corsets were most likely not made for them leading to the discomfort mentioned in articles written on it. i wish they wouldnt create a strawman for an argument made by men to subjugate women as a reason to do this. do it because it historically accurate or because they aren't necessary. also, corsets serve a purpose in garment construction. how are they going to keep those heavy garments supported on long shoot days? its just going to put a different sort of pain on actors! im ultimately glad there is a consideration for the actors comfort from a labour pov but from a practical and logistical pov just make well-fitting corsets that actors can get used to before shoots.
Thank you! I've seen other historical fashion channels also note how inane that corset statement was. It just felt like they were trying to score brownie points for something that doesn't matter within the time period.
Not at all. Clothing was made of natural fabrics back then, and people wore fabrics that were appropriate for the season. All the modern clothing you buy at the store is made of polyester/plastic now, and that's the only reason layers sound so painful... Plastic isn't breathable, so you're sweating no matter what and that sweat isn't evaporating as easily as it would if you were wearing a natural, light fabric.
Adding onto the previous commenter, the places in which these clothes were worn were also considerably cooler. Summers in England only got up to between 50-60 degrees at their hottest (from what I've heard) so it definitely wasn't too warm.
@@snickeringpigeon4370 Very true, and I like that about the show. I meant to relay that I love her costumes and historical knowledge related to them, but I reread and realized that's not what I stated.
You are so funny because I was thinking the same thing about it seeming way cuter than I used to think this period was! But the silk is always fabulous, so who knows😃You are gorgeous! Love your channel❤
I am an older man but I worked my way through school in the Midwest in an experimental theater so all these dresses are so wonderful to see all the parts that make them full and beautiful only not as beautiful as you dumplin!! Keep on dressing !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolute adore your videos because I learn more about women's history than anywhere else! But this video has to be my favorite because you look fantastic in it! And about how cool regency actually was! And I could see some like Penelope would have to add a corset because of her weight.....
I’ve been going through so many of your shorts at once and even though I’m not a regency fan per se I think this is one of the styles that actually suits you best!
I love your videos! This summer, I am giving a Regency tea party for my friends, we are looking for dresses to wear, that are reasonable to purchase. Your videos are helping a great deal. We just need to find a Mr. Darcy!
Honestly the short stays look supremely and wildly more comfortable than a modern underwired bra and I want them to come back

I love the pleating in the back - I remember the dresses around marie antionette had that too
So many layers, but pretty. Must have been miserable in warm weather.
Not at all. Clothing was made of natural fabrics back then, and people wore fabrics that were appropriate for the season. All the modern clothing you buy at the store is made of polyester/plastic now, and that's the only reason layers sound so painful... Plastic isn't breathable, so you're sweating no matter what and that sweat isn't evaporating as easily as it would if you were wearing a natural, light fabric.
Adding onto the previous commenter, the places in which these clothes were worn were also considerably cooler. Summers in England only got up to between 50-60 degrees at their hottest (from what I've heard) so it definitely wasn't too warm.
News : Bridgerton actresses no longer required to wear corsets
People Who Actually Know History : I see this as an absolute win
My god you look so beautiful!! I’m jealous of your teeny waist! That is the era that I think had the nicest clothes shape. Xx
I just love hearing your backstory about the times the people wore these dresses. So thank you very much.
I hope they offer you a job providing correct information about costuming the actors.
Bridgerton is not supposed to be historically accurate.
@@snickeringpigeon4370 Very true, and I like that about the show. I meant to relay that I love her costumes and historical knowledge related to them, but I reread and realized that's not what I stated.
What an incredibly beautiful outfit!!!❤
That pink compliments your hair color wonderfully.
The swishing at the end makes you sound so rich!! My ears are so impressed by your wealth!
You are so funny because I was thinking the same thing about it seeming way cuter than I used to think this period was! But the silk is always fabulous, so who knows😃You are gorgeous! Love your channel❤
SUPER PRETTY!!! The pink's BEAUTIFUL!!
I love the regency style I think it’s so flattering
I love hearing about different periods of fashion. 😊 Thank you for sharing❤
That jacket is beautiful!! I love the color! ♥️🥰♥️
Bridgerton made me love the arts, self care, gossips and elegance
I am an older man but I worked my way through school in the Midwest in an experimental theater so all these dresses are so wonderful to see all the parts that make them full and beautiful only not as beautiful as you dumplin!! Keep on dressing !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful dress ❤ Suits you very much, the colour and silhouette
Beautiful coat in that peachy caramel color. Love it with all of the white. Your information is so wonderful.
I love Regency. Thank you. Your videos are always great
I loved the dresses in Bridgerton. The colors were so pretty and i noticed a lot of silk/satin but it looks elegant and comfy
Your outfit is 10/10, looks amazing 👏
I absolute adore your videos because I learn more about women's history than anywhere else! But this video has to be my favorite because you look fantastic in it! And about how cool regency actually was! And I could see some like Penelope would have to add a corset because of her weight.....
I love these kinds of dresses ❤ thank you for sharing.
Beautiful dress and coat. I love the colours.
Omg! That looks absolutely adorable!❤
That pink silk jacket is so beautiful 🥲
I’ve been going through so many of your shorts at once and even though I’m not a regency fan per se I think this is one of the styles that actually suits you best!
Your dresses are beautiful!
OMG you SLAYED IT!!❤❤❤
I love your videos! This summer, I am giving a Regency tea party for my friends, we are looking for dresses to wear, that are reasonable to purchase. Your videos are helping a great deal. We just need to find a Mr. Darcy!
This seems like one of the easier styles to replicate, that makes me feel like giving it a go.
I think we need to bring back some of these fashions because they are gorgeous!!
You look beautiful…the entire outfit is stunning on you!
I enjoy your videos so much. I really love it when I come across one.
you're Very pretty in Everything you wear. It's also really interesting to see the historical clothing, and you're super smart, and fun to watch
Such a gorgeous gown I think you just really really look good in that color that's why you liked it so much😊
I love this!!!! We need this style back!!
I love the silhouette on the pink overcoat thing
Thanks for clearing that up. I always wondered why a corset would be necessary for those types of dresses.
I’ve seen several of these, but this is the one that made me subscribe. I don’t think she could get more adorable.
🥲 omg thank you
I’m enjoying your shorts !
I would not want to put on so many layers. I'm glad for the evolution of fashion.
Empire waist for the win.
This Era is one of my absolute favourites for ladies' fashion.
that jacket is divine. i don't often want to wear clothes of other periods but DAMN!
Those are seriously one of my fav stule of historical gowns 😍
