This lady is hysterical. I wish every museum guide was this entertaining. Also, I never thought I'd really sit and watch a 23 minute video on Elizabethan dress, but here I am enjoying myself immensely.
This was absolutely wonderful to watch and listen to, and I'm absolutely dying to wear a gown like that and just assert my dominance. I have a fairly slim frame naturally, and I tend to move out of the way of everyone else. Wearing such a skirt, *I* would become the commander of the grocery store aisles!
I myself would not be against Panniers as outerwear. Throw on my leggings, comfy shirt, tie on panniers just small enough that I can go through a door sideways and hit the town.
Well done!! They really do know what they are talking about. And with a big pile of humour it is a perfect show. Thanks a lot to the Ladies of Hamton Court and thanks a lot for sharing this vid!!
Wow i didnt know Elizabeth's colours were black and white. I knew she dresses very fashionable. I'll have to read up on that again about the different colours warn by the nobility and the queen.
The clothing seemed pretty, and they made women look regal - but cumbersome and too warm. But of course, the climate was colder back in Elizabethan times and castles were chilly. I'm fascinated by period dress.
I always thought how hot it would be having to wear all those layers until the time we lost power for over 24 hours in January...in Canada... It was -25C and We had to drain our taps & WC so they didn't freeze. I collect some vintage clothing and lived and slept in my great Aunts mink coat from the 40's (she was a "sturdy" lady so I had lots of room) It was fun for a while but I could only boil water on a little alcohol burner. I chose tea over bathing...
I don't think it would've been too warm, though. It has many layers, but it's linen. I remember I used to think this sort of clothing would've been excessively warm, until I heard that, since they are all natural fabrics, they're very breathable when hot and keep your own body heat in winter. But what do I know, it's just a thought :)
Having lived in that climate, I can tell you that 'warm' would have been very useful. Those castles were bloody freezing. If you didn’t have a fire in the room, good luck getting undressed and into your freezing bed. It didn’t pay to be a poor maid
What a wonderful presentation! Thank you for sharing it with us. Especially now that these sort of in person presentations are few and far between, this is delightful to see.

Howdy, this was wonderful to watch. I simply am drawn to period movies and everything Queen. So many layers. The questions I would've asked. Surely none would've been about what's in the purse.
Oh thank you so much for this! So interesting and informative. My bucket list includes Hampton Court glad to get a sneak peek especially of the costumers
lovely video... sidenote - "Lady Radcliffe' mixedup her def. of Satin weave - it's weft jumping over warp. Weft = left to right weaving thread, warp = vertical thread tied to the loom.
There are some similar places! Colonial Williamsburg for starters, and other historical reenactment museums and traveling groups exist throughout the U.S. It depends where you live exactly. Of course the clothing workers wear is reprensatitive of what people were wearing here in the early colonial times, not when Queen Elizabeth was in power.
Sure we do. Visit any Revolutionary era historical museum, Civil War era historical museum, or even scattered across America world wars museums and you can see actors in costume, or the very least, exhibits of period costume.
We do, actually. It all begins a little later of course. We have the big attraction of Colonial Williamsburg. Also, Gettysburg. In Ohio, Hale Farm & Village and other various places. I've seen several costuming demonstrations. See what's in your area. I'm certain you'll find something wonderful.
So they need a doughnut to get the look that is natural for us Caribbean big butt gals. 😅Anyways this is so awesome. I would love to see more videos like this to showcase the fashion throughout history in various cultures and nations.
Looking extreme was important to nobles back then, especially royalty. It conveyed wealth and status to each other, commoners, and people of other countries. It's pretty shallow, but those kinds of visual cues were really important in establishing and keeping diplomatic relations.
These styles applied to all people! Even those who weren’t noble, most people would have the same shilouette, the only difference is the quality of them!
I personally don't have any homework related to this stuff (I'm a CS/math major, which doesn't require a lot of history classes) and it's fun to learn about this sort of thing. It certainly beats looking up matrix blocking for parallelization of matrix operations on large data sets, which is what I'm supposed to be doing at the moment. (I swear that actually made sense, and is not like the gobbledygook that sci-fi movies/books spout)
Wondering if this was taken around the same time it was posted - COVID - all the coughing and crowding into each other is giving me anxiety! I know plagues were common in the age of Elizabeth the first, but is this really necessary?!
england wasnt in lockdown in january. no one was. are you seriously watching historical videos complaining that people didnt know better in past times..?
It is called ceruse. It literally ate holes in Queen Elizabeth I’s skin. She started using it because in her mid twenties she nearly died from smallpox, and she was self conscious of the holes it left in her skin. Like bad chicken pox scars. As they said she didn’t know it was going to really badly damage her skin in the long run and ruin her looks.
Venetian Ceruse. Elizabeth the first had so much caked on that it was rumoured that when she died, they took one inch thick layer of stuff from her face.
The outfit doesn’t include “underwear”, so ironically, with all those layers on, we’d consider it going commando, so you lift your skirts and do your thing
Sorry about some of the wandering, I had a crowd behind me that kept gently bumping into me.
Thank you for the video ☺
Thank you for sharing this ❤️

this is the funniest comment ive read all week, thank you for giving me the motivation to get through school today
🤣🤣🤣 I just lost it! But it is so true.

Thanks a lot to the Ladies of Hamton Court and thanks a lot for sharing this vid!!
Thanks for sharing this, it's exactly what i was looking for to help with my coursework
You're very welcome!
@@oddproductions I have a feeling that bernadette banner would love Past Pleasures.
wow forget pockets, I want to bring back the shelf.
Especially since womens' clothes today have useless pockets. They are all for decor, forcing one to use a purse. Really annoying. 😣
This was delightful, both educational and entertaining. Well done.
Please never delete this!

They wore all natural fabrics. Not the plastics we wear now. They were more comfortable.
@@breeinatree4811 natural fabrics are not always more comfortable. Synthetic fabrics are not all bad. Stop spreading "naturalistic fallacy"
I Enjoyed Every Minute Of This. The Lil Quips Made Me Laugh. Learned As Well. All In A Day's Work..

Omg that sneeze at 7:20 scared the shit out me, with headphones on it sounds like someone was outside my bedrom
LMAOOOO SAME
This is lovely! And so much better than most of the dress presentations (full of misinformation) I've seen!

These ladies have my dream job 😍
Great video, just what I needed!
This is incredibly informative. Thank you for posting.

Wish those people would have been quite! So annoying. Really love the demonstration and the ladies.
I hear mostly a baby crying. A terrible noise, indeed, but the baby cannot control him/herself yet 😆
That was great, these ladies know their stuff...though I heard ppl coughing all I could think was uhoh covid19..
This is amazing, what a great presentation!!
That’s why in the UK schools uniforms ,and business suits are usually ,blue or grey,ahh interesting
That was wonderful!
I wish I could have visited maybe in 2022
I would love to work here! Unfortunately we don’t really have anything like this in North America :(

I always end up watching these videos when I’m bored lol. I really need to look into being a fashion historian but idk where to start!
Thank you, missed this one while at Hampton Court.

It was not to imitate the big butt. Huh? I think it is very obvious that noone would look at that and think it is a natural butt 😂
These styles applied to all people! Even those who weren’t noble, most people would have the same shilouette, the only difference is the quality of them!
You see Juci.... even back then our no butt white girls wanted a booty... lol.... stay safe hun, look after your family in this awful time.
@@lorrainewadsworth6977 LOL That's funny. You look after yourself and best wishes to you and your family as well. Thank you.
very interesting! the lady in the black dress is scary. reminds me of my year 2 teacher at primary school
Very educational and interesting. Thank you!
Exquisite indeed!

As a lady, I am so glad I wasn’t born during this time yikes. I can barely get my jeans on lol.
Great video, just wondering what is the small white dot moving around the lower middle of the frame? looks a touch, well...um Odd
Does one's bum look big in this? 👑 🤣
Very interesting! Thanks
Gave you an armrest.

england wasnt in lockdown in january. no one was. are you seriously watching historical videos complaining that people didnt know better in past times..?
This was taken in early January 2020 right before Covid hit the UK.
Can I ask if anymore questions were asked ? And if you were able to film them.
This is the full unedited video.
Why are you putting in a new floor - today, of all days? Or am I mistaken and it’s really your farmhands showing off their new hobnail boots? 😜
god shes magnificent that one
How do you spell what the makeup was called? Serous?
“Ceruse” it was also called “blanc de ceruse de Venise” which basically means “spirit of Saturn”
Ceruse

Jajajajajaja como un salvavidas
Looks like and Orb flying around at 14:00 for those who believe in tht sort of thing. Its quiet clear.
Thank god for leggings lol
Thank God we don't have to wear all that today.
Good grief!!
Okay Karen she only was asking "what would they carry in the purse"?

It's a ~joke~
When did that happen?
It's called comedy.
