Midge has one of the best TV character wardrobes of all time. I'm obsessed with everything she wears.
Gasping each new scene, even just the swimwear was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Agreed 100%!! The wardrobe is absolutely amazing! I can’t wait for season 4!
Love everything about this show- but the outfits are a highlight for sure! 😍
Right?! I'd wear most outfits
@@AnelimMCO oh, me too! Most definitely.
Love Raissa, and it's great that "Fashion Historians" are a thing now. Fashion is such an understated part of history, and it's important that we record everything for the future generations of fashion lovers.
That and what people find fashionable in clothing has roots in cultural practices, current events and economical factors. Fashion History is integral in anthropology.
Agreed!!
If you want to know a people, a culture, or an era you need to know how they spoke, what they ate, and what they wore.
Also, I think the moment when Midge wears her pink coat over her nightgown is the only time in the show, where she wears a piece of clothing twice. It's like a symbol of her devastated state of mind
she actually does outfit repeat quite a bit
Cherries in the snow was my mother's signature lipstick as I was growing up. She wore it every day. I will never forget it since we kids and the cousins of my generation often had bright red lipstick marks on our cheeks. I just realized it sounds like my mom is no longer around. She is, she just branched out and wears different lipstick shades now. Still in the red family, though. Always.
I’ve worn Cherries in the Snow for the last 20+ years and it will always be my go to color! It’s wonderful
My grandma would never. It was sign of a bad character in women in those days
I loved when they were packing for the Catskills and you saw the enormity of Midge and her mother’s wardrobes and acknowledgment that there was no way it could all fit in their tiny closets in the apartment.
I loved seeing her brother's old bedroom converted into a walk-in closet in season 3! I think they alluded to storing some of their wardrobe in their basement storage area too. I think unlike us, who can own a gigantic amount of clothing without wearing most of it, she actually wore most of her clothing, since she was constantly changing!
@@LizRealGirlBeauty: don't forget that in the summer, the furs would have gone into cold store.
8:48 Benjamin: Your shoes match your purse. How does that happen?
Midge: Witchcraft.
you could dye shoes to match, it was the thing in the 50s to have matching shoes and purse.
@@bookmouse2719 dyeables shoes is still a thing. Even in the 2010s for my wedding my mother was trying to convince me my MOH needed them lol (she'd had all my sisters use them for their proms & weddings)
I’m so excited for season 4 because Mei being a reoccurring character means we’ll get to see way more vintage imported Chinese fashions. Chinese jewelry especially was really in demand in the US in the 50’s and 60’s. As a collector of vintage jewelry, it would be awesome to see Mei or another character wearing a carved cinnabar bangle or floral cloisonné bracelet.
So far I’m not impressed with season 4. I’m hoping it improves bc so far it looks like they just put it together in a rush for the sake of just having it out there. Very disappointed ☹️
@@Iris-zq5mq What where your thoughts on the rest of the season? I wasnt loving it until maybe the last three episodes.
I love her side swept bangs.
My sister has an Etsy shop ( AbigailsVintage Attic) that has sold many items to the wardrobe department of MMM. They clearly have accuracy at the forefront of their minds. Her items weren't used on principal actors but still it's fun to be a source for such a great show.
That's really awesome! Even if not on main characters, they do set the background actors and just add authenticity to the period fashion
I love how Raissa comes dressed for each time period for a lot of the videos she really does her research and looks amazing
I love this show I personally think it’s really underrated
This show is not underated, did you see the amount of awards it won? The writing is superb, the acting is great, the whole cast is well put together, tbis is one of the better shows outthere, its really, really good, I Am A FAN.
I understand what you're saying, I'm the only person I know who watches it! And I love it and have rewatched I don't know how many times!
@@patriciajones6771 Despite its awards it's not widely known publicly outside of tv show nerds or Amazon Prime users (which is a small number of people compared to say Netflix).
The show has won many Golden Globes and Emmys, and it's not underrated at all. But I think it deserves to be more famous.
It's not fair that a CW quality show like Wednesday is far more popular than Maisel.
@@delrey874 I completely agree with you and talk about bad shows like Bridgerton being way more popular.
I was born in 1951. My Mom and all my aunts dressed like this daily! Bullet bras, girdles, and full and half slips were very familiar garments in my world. I confess I miss the comfort a slip provided.
Super interesting! I have always been fascinated with the 50’s and 60’s. Part of me has a yearning for people to dress like this, so put together and polished. Well, if we all had money and lived in the upper west side lol
And had the time to devote to it! I am the type of woman who can be very fashion conscious when I am dressed for business or for a night out on the town and I know it takes me a great deal of time to put myself together for those occasions. If I was not only doing that every single day but changing into equally elaborate outfits complete with accessories two or three times a day it would be difficult for me to get very much else done. That's to say nothing of the amount of time it would take me to shop for the enormous amount of clothing that I would need to pull off that many looks, as well as all of the make up and beauty care products. And then of course there would be all the time it took to keep my hair looking THAT good on a daily basis. I'd LOVE to be able to do it but I just couldn't keep up with all of it.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I love it too and have always loved the intricacy and specificity of it but of course who has the time now! Thanks to women like midge we have so many more options in our lives than just being a housewife or makeup counter girl. What really got me was when she takes her makeup off only while her husband is asleep. I haven’t worn makeup in a whole week, I couldn’t imagine the pressure women were under!
@@osmanthea: 'What really got me was when she takes her makeup off only while her husband is asleep ...' and like her mother, got up early to apply make-up and then slipped back into bed.
Not everyone in the 50s dressed like this though. Most women just wore a simple blouse and skirt, or dress.
@@nm9688: Midge is the daughter of upper middle class Manhattanites, but this video is dissecting her key looks which are not everyday.
The actress is so pretty and just looks timeless in the costumes!
The way she wears the clothes is stunning. You see the movement in the clothes. She wears them well.
"Elbow length gloves were a staple" proceeds to show a string of gloves that do not reach the elbow, the team really let her down on that one haha
Lol she has said before in an unrelated interview that it's hard because she's not responsible for 100% of the video, so some things remain inaccurate or with incomplete information.. but hey, at least the drawings are better now! Baby steps🙃
I'm glad the show is as accurate as I thought
U
The tailoring of Midge's costumes deserves its own award it's so good 😩
Not the pink coat. The hem is shocking. My sewing teacher would be very disappointed in me if I hemmed something that bad.
I was hooked after the first episode! The fashion just took me to another world and I was captivated. The actors also lure you in & their personalities really transfer ughhhh 10/10
Me, who wears pajamas all day, everyday: "There's different types of clothes for different times of the day?!"
That's because those days you weren't sitting inside all day with no one visiting you.
@@EspeonMistress00 There was also that booming post WWII economy. It’s a lot easier to pay for two or three wardrobe changes a day when you’ve got money to burn.
Pandemic living absolutely wrecked my habits of dressing nicely. There was a time though when I'd often wear daywear or working clothes and evening wear or something to look nice out on the town.
hahahahs same
How are you surprised? Pajamas are late evening wear, after all. :-)
Be right back, buying "cherries in the snow."
How are you doing?
I have this lipstick. It’s just a beautiful color 😊
HEHE
My daughter still wears the matching nail polish.
I was just watching this. Her dresses are fab, accurate or not. thanks for the video!
so to sum up
they got it right
honestly im addicted to the fashion in this show!
That was really fun, and brought back memories of watching my mother dress during the 70's when undergatment layers were still popular. I do wish you talked about the sunglasses too. They styles were also such an intricate part of each ensemble.
I've been binging The marvelous Mrs maisel lately. I love love love all of the dresses and outfits on the show. I knew I'd seen that black cocktail dress somewhere before! Sabrina is such a good movie with a beautiful wardrobe to match.
Wow, such a great overview dissecting Midge’s iconic looks, AND capturing the costume designer’s strategy to include the broader period’s fashion cycle for a more dramatic expression of Mrs. Maisel’s character evolution. The show is a remarkable production through and through, and this particular fashion history review does it justice - appropriately, so, so good! Well done :)
"Mrs Maisel" is a sight to behold. You really feel like you're back in that period with everything in the production. One more session to go and then no more. I could go on watching this show..
At 65 I remember my mom and my aunts wearing these fashions and some were handed down to me thru the years quite spot on!!
Her costuming was incredible, I don't think anyone else could have done it as well as Donna.
The clothes on this show are so beautiful!
Spot on I die over her beautiful beautiful clothing and so many elements are so hot in fashion right now straw bags play suits rompers the shape and silhouette of bikinis. When I was a little girl watching I love Lucy I just adored everything she wore. And Christian Dior is as hot as ever!!!! Every woman must own a little black dress!! The fashions of yesteryear will always influence today and was really fun with social media is that we can mix it up and have a lot more access now by thrifting Or purchasing second hand and making it our very own
Did we need commentary on the commentary? It just sounds out of place.
Thank you to everyone working on this channel!
Would love to see Raissa Bretaña do Downton Abbey-a longer one or several that covers the change in fashions over time and Baz Lurhmann’s The Great Gatsby,
I absolutely love the Maisel wardrobe! In fact, the fashion carried me through episodes that weren't as... fun. Being someone with no waist to speak of the fit and flare look is especially appealing.
Believe me I am built like a beanpole so I know what you mean. Peplum, pleated or ruffled skirts, A line dresses, and empire waist gowns are all my friend. Fashionable wide belts or scarves help define the waist as well and I have a waist cincher when I really want to squeeze a little more hourglass out of my figure. When all else fails and I want to be comfortable but pretty maxi dresses (which often mimic an empire waist style) are an absolute god send. I put a great deal of effort into learning early on what accentuated my figure and what didn't. Unlike Marilyn I could not look good in a potato sack or any other sack dress, or drop waistline dress or skirt and top. I also was fortunate to spend enough time on my art education to know how to use a color wheel and to pick colors that highlight my hair and complexion. I've been fortunate to be complimented many times on my sense of style.
I want everything she wore at the resort!!!
I started watching Mrs Maisel based on the clothing because it looked so fabulous.
I stayed because the storyline, acting, characters, and clothing became irresistible! Such perfection in so many ways.
i love raissa!! she teaches at my school but her classes r always full before i even get a chance to sign up :(
You should see if you can audit her class!
@@courtneybrezinski4665 wdym by audit?
@@sunshell like a teacher's assistant
@@sunshell audit usually means you sit the class with out earning any credit
The person doing voiceover is too close to the mic right?
Yessss they could have just not added that in and just put graphics on screen
The costume and set design was next level in this series. So impressive.
I can’t wait for season 4
I absolutely LOVE this show! The wardrobe is gorgeous
I was instantly drawn to this series because I knew it was set in the mid century, and couldn't wait to see the outfits, (wasn't disappointed), and it's one of the best shows I've ever watched. Just big time stunning !!!🥰👌🇦🇺
the fashion in this show is one of the many reasons to watch it
This show was so entertaining to watch
I just love that pink coat. It reminds me of one Loreli Gilmore wore. I just have never been able to find one similar all these years.
i literally want to change my entire wardrobe after watching MMM. thank you for the breakdown Raissa
Love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel! Excited for the next season 💗
I Looooove the costumes in this show! Thanks for making this video!
I drooled over the costumes on this show. Outstanding!
I love how the fashion historian always dresses on theme and historically accurate for each video. Her wardrobe in this video reminds me a bit of her outfit in the video analyzing the costumes in MadMen. Which makes sense because both shows take place in a city during the 1950s-1960s
Can ya'll do Mrs America (do a parter of videos).
Don't give up on previous shows.
who keeps coming on and sounding like they're talking into an old 1990s cordless phone?
Great analysis! I love every single look ♥️
I have been waiting for a costume breakdown of this show!
When I saw her in that black cocktail dress, my mind went immediately to Sabrina because that movie has one of my favorite movie outfits of all time
Would love to see an episode on Murdoch mysteries or Miss Fishers murder mysteries since were doing a lot of tv shows now!
Yessss! Please!
As an Australian I agree with you please please Miss Fisher's murder mystery next
Hats! Omg, so many hats! My husband and I pause the show to rate every single hat on a scale of beautiful to terrible. Most of them we love though ;)
OMG Milo Ventimiglia is gonna appear on season 4?! Ugh! Can't wait to see it
Yay, been waiting for this one.
Why does the voiceover sound like Leslie Jones recording a narration into a cheap tape recorder? Lmao
I see Raissa, I click 😍
Wfhx
I just met an incredible fashion historian in Paris. I was fortunate enough to have him as my personal VIP guide through the Dior Museum. It was amazing!
Yes! i knew somewhere on youtube would exist a video that explained midge's wardrobe according to fashion history.
this show was so good im so happy i randomly came across it
I love this series and this host!
Yaaaassss! I was waiting for this one!
Great show. Great wardrobe!
The New Look debuted in 1947, and was popular until ca.1963.
The fashion is Phenomenal
YAAAAASSSSS CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW SEASON
This tv show is my whole life i was so incredibly sad when they announced season five to be the last one 💔
I love the fashion, they had something like the play wear in early 1970s called sizzlers with matching panties that you showed
Honestly I don't really care about accuracy. The show is great and the fashion is next level amazing. Season 4 didn't disappoint in either of the those 2 areas. I also just noticed that midge NEVER wears the same outfit in 2 scenes. Every single different scene has a new outfit and she's never worn the same thing twice.
Mrs Maisel is based on Joan Rivers and everything she wore. if you look at her on the Eddy Sullivan show she is wearing the exact same dress. just thought you should know! :)
It one of the best things about the show, is her clothes... simply gorgeous!
it's amazing how much of this stuff persisted into the 80s when i was a kid, especially the summer clothes. i had breach grass and wicker purses, play suits, espadrilles, cork sandles, braided stuff decorated with shells with a vaguely hawaiian theme
I love your video! Thank you
I loved the show’s fashion!
Beautiful clothes and colors!
My boyfriend thinks Midge is always nipping. He says it must be cold. I said it’s the shape of bra they wore back then
I love this historian! 💜
My color guard wore cherries in the snow for our competition makeup 😂
Very interesting! Also, elegance is great and all, but I'm glad I live in a time/place when I can wear jeans and a t shirt and just be comfortable.
Great video!
She has a lovely wardrobe.
I love this show ahh
Beautiful
Great content! The specialist has a lovely voice and insightful commentary. Please remove that "woosh" transition sound effect for future videos, it was so loud that it became quite distracting.
I was so distracted at the end by the shirtless guy in the tiny red shorts
I loved this video, so interesting
Gorgeous, a feast for the eyes.
Love a whimsical cocktail hat!
Her wearing the nail polish is so cute!
Nice montage video 🥰
I always thought they didn’t do that black Aubrey dress justice! Now I can see how!!
I love this show so much! This video makes me want to have lived my 20s in the 50s so much more...obviously having a affluent background like Midge's.
Best show 🔥
Wow, that's a good analysis.
Loved the packning 👍🏻
Really nice!
