"18th Century hemlines were not this short"
...You don't say?!
Insert meme here
21st century hemlines are hardly that short...
My exact reaction
Yeah😂😂👍
Freya is a Yandere , it is still fun!
Well i guess i look like a historically accurate pirate on most days.
felt that lol
Oof
Me too!
lmao-
Lmfaooo
"This noblewoman is wrong"
Well duh, if a woman actually wore that she'd be called a harlot and be taken to the block.
"chop chop you've lost head privilege harlot"
As it should be.
Yeah that one made me.laugh the most.

Omg same!!
Came here for this comment.
Omg yes!!! I was like wait.....💕
Someone else noticed!! Yasss
There’s a sims medieval?
I don’t know why- but the accurate version of the Viking costume looks amazing-
Yes it's gorgeous
Makes me wish we could bring some of these old fashions back. Except the nobles fashion, that can stay dead.
Pale Rose i agree 🌚
Look up the sca it's a historical reenactment group that has lots of clothing like that, very comfortable to wear too
Pale Rose yes I agree it was gorgeous
ALL pirates wore fishnet leggings. That way they could take it off in a jiffy if they needed some fish.
You have a point
This is correct, I am an historian
You know it gotta be true it's the FBI saying it
Obviously...
I mean why else have them?
Honestly, the historically accurate costumes looked SO much better than the fake modern ones
Nah the modern ones look better
Andreas DLuffy then get your eyes checked
@@Maxllerrelic he's not lying tho
Think they intended it that way. They put way more care into the accurate ones than the modern ones.
Ay every body have different taste
Fun fact, viking held women at such a high regard to where women would handle all of the financial stuff for the household. Yes, the Vikings said female rights.
Period
wait but weren’t vikings awful to other women
Bug! Nope they didn’t that’s just how modern media represented them.Women held high status in Viking Culture and were valued. Lol Did a whole history project about them?
Wow! What a neat fact that I never thought that I needed to know, but now that I do, I don't know what to do with it.
Simps.
I don’t think I’ve met anyone who believed any of those costumes were historically accurate.
Right? Especially the Noblewoman's costume 🤨
ikr, Halloween isn't about being historically accurate, it's about just having fun wiv the costumes and stuff, right?
@@lalalae_ exactly. God forbid people use their fantasy to make up a inaccurate costume. Especially for a witch! Obviously real witches looked only that one way... This video was useless
@@assibratzen116 This was made to show people, not tell them how to dress.
It’s... the history channel... They have credited archaeologists... What makes you think they weren’t accurate?
The “witch” is dressed like a wrongfully accused civilian
Honey Lemon heh, I see what you did
And that's exactly what a "witch" is :)
Who had a different religion or could float in water.
Although many of them were, witches still existed, although probably not as how we know it. There are whole museums of witches tools that people really used which proves witches were around. But I would agree in Salem, there weren’t likely many witches.
Witches were "sage women" that performed abortions or knew the recipe for natural birth control.
Am I the only one thinking the more historically accurate “Viking” costume is far more attractive looking than the inaccurate one?
good one 😂
No. I agree with you
I agree with you!
Not at all, buddy. She looks much more approachable, like someone you would strike up a conversation with.
It’s still very inaccurate- I do historical reenactment. 🤦♀️ Vikings are my time period 😂
I highly doubt that anyone thought that those Halloween costumes were historically accurate lol
Of course not! They’re supposed to be fun & flirty. No one is going to dress like a Puritan for Halloween.
When I was young I actually thought that was how Vikings looked except with longer skirts
@@lexigrimhaive Well now I am lol besides on Halloween stuff like to dress up or wear clothing that I wish I was willing to wear in my town lol
Of COURSE they are inaccurate. But it was fun seeing the real fashions
Agreed. Can you believe people are getting bent out of shape over this? Lol
The only reason i clicked on the video was to see the real outfits. I already knew the Halloween costumes were wrong lol
Same
Yea
Same
Meanwhile on Halloween:
"I'm NoT lIkE oThEr GiRlS
I'm a historically correct pirate"
EDIT: Fyi I wasn't being serious. I really don't care what you'd wear for Halloween, as long as it makes you happy. You do you ♡

DuoPenottiPanda X I mean the historically accurate pirate costume did look way better
@@MeekaChannel I totally agree! I was just joking after all
Adore.the.Ateleia. X worldclass 😂😂
The accurate version of the noblewomen looks like she's stealing a large TV
well what else are you supposed to do in something like that
It's the pannier.
Now that's a thought.
When people are dressed as witches, they don't think of the actual witches. Like those who were a costume of Dracula has no intent of looking like the king it was based on.
Personally I like to think I’m the king of Romania when I play as Dracula.
“These sexualized women’s costumes are not historically accurate.”
Good to know. 😂
Ikr, I was like, YOU DON'T SAY
"sexualized" nah they are just easier to make that's why
@@lesscringeymapperdude they are sexualized tho
Nicole Marly only because the accurate ones are so unnappealing you might as well wear a curtain.

RUclips suggestions: Halloween is supposed to be historically accurate
They didn't say your costumes HAD to be accurate. It's just educational on what IS accurate. Personally I like both modern and historically accurate costumes.
Izzmonster you don’t get it do you. It’s not what this video is about, it’s because RUclips recommend something that was completely out of the blue and not even close to what we needed . Halloween is not until 6 more months.
@@bhocoloatebhipbookies9147 No no no, you see, the Halloween spirit is ALWAYS around. Ever sneak up and scare someone? Ever see a bowl of candy and get excited? Ever try to fall asleep, but suddenly get a weird chill or are paranoid for now reason? That's the Halloween spirit hangin around. It's always there, watching... waiting... Don't turn around, you never know what you might see!

Vikings favorite movie is black and white movie
They are believed to have discovered ketchups
They like to trade their socks at event called sock n garten
They like to entertain themselves by tossing shields and tossing burning shields
There are Leif Erikson day too
Also, only the warriors were called Vikings. The "vikings" and their people in general were called the Norse.
Finally, someone who does their reading
Except for the Danes, of course...
The Saxons and mative celts of the British isles valled them all Danes. The word Viking as a noun is modern. The Danes would go "on viking" which is journey, trip etc. These were noy aleays raids or conquests and most of the time were exploration or trading trips.
And viking is a verb, it would be like calling a pirate a pirating
Also, Viking was a verb
I wouldn’t mind wearing these historically accurate costumes.
Mostly because it would be October and freezing.
Lmao, ikr
I used to never dress up and instead wear warm clothes. People would be like “What are you dressed as?” Me: Someone warm.
I live in Australia so it’s spring in October sucks to be north of the equator
Shackle hoff Oof. I did some trick or treating in Borneo so it was pretty warm.
@@shacklehoff6213
Well I live in Florida so....its pretty much spring/summer all the time =/
It really just depends where you live honestly.
Since when has the history channel cared about the accuracy, all they seemed to care about is aliens and Bigfoot
They don't care about accuracy given the fact they stated women were banned from being pirates. Some of the roughest pirate captains were openly known to be women
They don't LMAO this is corporate virtue signaling
And egypt

Actually the eye-patch wasn't used for conditioning the eye for fighting in the dark.
They were for very sunny day's when a crewmen would go bellow deck from topside. After which they would switch the eye-patch to the one exposed to the sun. Therefore, they would instantly see better under the deck.
Personally, I liked the more historical accurate outfits better
same.
Same!
I mean if I was going to a Halloween party plus club night I'd go for the modern witch costume. I liked the authentic viking and pirate the most, but I'd rather wear those at a renaissance fair or reenactment event :P
If I had to wear some of these for Halloween, the accurate witch and viking outfits would be a little lackluster for me. But the historically accurate noble women and pirate seemed like fun! Really liked those the most

KittyKattyAnime oh lord
🤣 There's really no one way a witch dresses....🤣
We all dress differently lol
The eye-patches of pirates? Actually proven to be something different:
Wearing the eye-patch does two things:
1) During the day, keeps you from being blinded by the reflection off of the water.
2) During dusk hours, you have an easier transition to night vision -- which is the same reason US Special Forces operators don't do anything in the hour preceeding dark, and an hour after darkness falls.
Honestly I’d wear the historically accurate Viking costume
Yeah it looks more viking than the first one which looked like it was making of the vikings lol
Yes, Its so beautiful
honestly most of them just look generally more comfortable
Same
I have some viking themed dresses (as a new recruit of our local medieval market) and have to say that they are really comfortable indeed!
idk why everyone is so mad in the comments.. like come on. this video is just for fun. they’re not telling you to stop wearing historically inaccurate costumes, they’re just finding another way to educate you on history. go on and rage about how it’s just a costume when literally no one is oppressing you.
I honestly wouldn't care so much if this wasn't from the History Channel.
Diana Tetherow the history channel talks about...history. What a concept 🙄
Ok then
Yeah sure but... why didn't they show male costumes and compared them with historically accurate clothing?

We actually talk about the european witch hunting a lot in germany! I think it just depends on where youre from. Of course youre going to hear more about the salem witch hunting than the european witch hunting in the states
Salem is overhyped. Most of the convicted witches weren't even killed. As long you agreed that you're a witch you could just go home. Only those refused to admit their 'crimes' were murdered

Random Dude yeah no wonder!
Random Dude i literally just commented that
If you’re going for accuracy, referring to the whole Norse culture as Vikings is COMPLETELY inaccurate. The only Norse who were “Vikings” were those who went on the raids, i.e. the ones who went “Viking”.
I thought they were all called vikings-
*thanks for teaching me history*
@@Mrreowmeowmrreowmrowmeow it was actually just a small portion of the population that was "vikings" most of the times when they traveled they just traded. You only hear about the crule things the vikings did because of the people they attacked dramatized it while the vikings didn't keep any record of their journey and if they did it was mostly written in stone (runsten) and that mostly happened if someone famous died or if they experienced something very interesting.
Also, while my knowledge of Norse culture is sorely lacking, I mean you’d think she’d have her hair up in a knot at the back of the head? Or at least in braids? Like I’m not sure you’re supposed have loose hair in front of anyone besides your husband in the bedroom or something. Idk perhaps were stricter later on or it different countries or something
Thank you for this information as I’ve been getting into Norse mythology recently and that lead me to want to know more about their life in general.
I can't believe they were like "this witch costume is inaccurate" and then show the 'accurate' witch from the Salem witch trials as if they were actual witches lol

When someone wears a witch costume, it's generally not meant to be a wrongfully accused woman, but an evil sorceress from a fantasy universe, ao she can wear whatever.
Otherwise very nice video.👍
Also weird fact women historically did wear funny witch hat.....to advertise that they sold beer.
When I dressed up as a witch last time I took a more “American Horror Story: Coven”approach. So a much more modern, what Stevie Nicks would wear today if she was 20 type of look lol. Witch costumes can really vary bc there’s a few different wants to do it.

it's not saying you should wear the accurate costume. it's just educating on what the costumes would look like if they were accurate.

@@missingclover Or storage auctions and pawn stars
It doesn't happen that often
I guess the reason for these costumes being historically inaccurate is due to simplicity and pricing.
Even if you want your costume to be historically accurate, it's a very expensive. You have to buy the materials to make it as accurate as possible. Not to mention finding and paying someone to put it all together. That accurate French noblelady costume just screams "expensive".
However, in case of the historically accurate female pirate, all you have to do is find loose clothing in your home and buy the hat and eye patch at the store.
You could absolutely find inexpensive items at a thrift store. It doesn't have to be perfectly accurate to just be better than spirits.
Vikings didnt have horns om their helmet, that’s not about expense, that is culture misunderstanding
I can guarantee if you give me 30 bucks and a goodwill I can make these.
You can find cheaper dresses and other garments on amazon separately. But not all
Its actually not as expensive as one would think.
„This is a witch costume...BUT“ and then I „reached my limit on RUclips“ 😂😂
The eyepatch keeps one eye used to the dark so once they need to go into the cabin they can see.

@@beccabehindthescenes that's how witchcraft prolly started 😅
I watched this recommendation a little bit late. It's November 4! 😂
A lot of this is common knowledge. Everyone knows noble women didn't wear super short skirts, most costumes are much longer in length. There are plenty of "more accurate" costumes at the store for all of these. The only thing I would correct for people are the viking horns and the typical "Cleopatra" outfits because no one seems to know what actual Egyptians wore.
I'm sure that wasn't lost on the History channel crew, since a video representing such a large channel would have to pass through a lot of hoops.
The point isn't to show "these obviously inaccurate costumes are wrong," but rather, to inform people on what they would look like if they were correct.
It's not that deep.

Where's the fun in historically accurate unless you're going to a reenactment or something. lol
Random woman: has tourettes
Salem: ItS ThE dEViL!!!
@bad bad mc bad idk But I'm pretty sure that puritan women could talk lol. Ann Hutchinson talked, nobody had a problem with her talking. They had a problem with her teaching. Also, i know the scarlet letter isn't totally historically accurate, but i feel like if it's a well known fact that puritan women weren't allowed to talk, then that fact would have been incorporated into the novel. I've never heard anyone say that puritan women were not allowed to talk. Do you remember where you heard that?
@bad bad mc bad women with touretts wouldn't go outside, but their families would probably go outside to seek help.
I have Tourette's this is funny
@bad bad mc bad You do realize that it wasn't just women that were accused? Many men were accused, too. The brother of one of my ancestors was one of them, accused by Ann Putnam et al. When he was brought before the magistrate, they were unable to speak or repeat their accusation, so his charges were dismissed.
Salem Witch Trials was most likely due to the lack of crop growth during a rain drought in tandem with an extended winter. When the crops don’t grow and your village is starving, best thing to do is blame alleged witches for preventing the growth.
The original ‘witches’ did wear hats like that though! The stereotypically image of an old woman with a pointed hat stirring cauldron came from women brewing beer! Women were the original brewsters, and their shops were often marked by a sign bearing the image of pointed hat like the one shown. The stereotypical image of a witch was born from this ancient tradition!
Edit: Hey everyone, just wanted to add this in - I know that actual witches didn’t wear hats like this, I just wanted to share where this idea originally came from. I am pagan myself and I know the history, but I thought this fact was cool and wanted to share. Also, I read the Crucible in high school and I enjoyed it.
But that was never the witch. I'm guessing they only made witches wear the hats to insist that women who brew beer are doing the "devil's work" as it was believed and most likely the wizard of oz made the green faced witch to essentially say all women who brew beer are ugly.
I remember reading this too!
@@yourlocalcryptid6024 that last bit was a stretch. I don't think wizard of oz had anything to do with beer. Or did you mean something different? I might have misread.
Also witches still exist, so technically this entire thing is inaccurate cos witches can wear whatever they want
I really really doubt that, in terms of beer brewing. Where do you have those sources from?
I appreciate this video, however I seriously doubt anyone would believe those Halloween costumes are historically accurate.
I thoroughly enjoyed the background music playing 😂
You actually didn't have to enter doors side ways with panniers! Panniers, crinolines, bustles, and others were made to be collapsible so a lady could sit.
Well maybe that's today's panniers? Or is it the same as the historical ones? Because in my mind the historical ones are practically hard so the lady couldn't sit and then in our modern century they just reformed it in kind of way so ladies don't have to stand all the time while wearing that kind of costume
@@krikarijazliezayas7873 today they're made of plastic, but earlier they used fish bones, that made them flexible. So yes, the ladies could sit, but they weren't flexible enough to enter a door. In fact, the doors were larger at the palasts😅

Some of them were so huge they had to, but definitely not all of them

I really wish I could have all of those historically accurate ones and wear them on normal days... that would be a good way to freak my friends out🤣🤣🤣
Also because they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL
I’m sorry, History Channel, you lost the credibility to tell us what’s historically accurate or not when you put that Ancient Aliens show on Tv.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Yes! Someone needed to say it.
@heco YT "history channel..."
@heco YT- Not everyone makes that distinction, unfortunately.
I like how a video about inaccuracies also has inaccuracies...
YES
I mean, this is the History Channel we're talking about here.
Rofl
" Female pirates weren't allowed on ships and never flaunted their feminimity" are't there whole lists and books about the numerous female pirates? And there was one that specifically wore her chest exposed......like? History channel what??
@@george_yassington Mind, the History Channel probably doesn't know that anyways because they're idea of accuracy is quite fantastical :P
Why do all the historically accurate costumes look so much cooler
I don't know, BushFish.
none of the "accurate" ones are accurate either. c'mon history channel. have like a single sit down with bernadette banner or any fashion historian
Willow Mouse YES PLEASE
Where's the historically accurate zombies and ghosts?
Isn't history if it's modern
Inside the coffin, I imagine
How can they say what is historically correct if those never existed (same goes for witches tho)
@@sonicalibur_iii r/whoooosh
@@punkiller666 What does that even mean?
Did anyone actually believe these costumes were accurate in the first place?
I mean, there are people who really believe Vikings wore horns on their helmets. And considering there are 7.5 billion people on this planet I think it's pretty safe to assume someone out there believes this.
Lydia but the Vikings did where horns on their helmets
That One I haven’t seen a single one that thought they where accurate but the comments might just not be anywhere close to the top
This is so great!
"We from the History Channel believe in being absolute killjoys" No one NO ONE thinks these are accurate. They are for fun. You remember fun don't you?
The whole video was made for FUN. You're the killjoy
nobody:
history channel: ... *FACTS.*
The noble woman outfit is dependent entirely on which time period it's from.
You would think a video talking about costume accuracy would have a least have briefly gone over this.
2:02 they specified it was 18th century
That's still a span of 100 years. There were a lot of changes in fashion at that time, just like now. It would be better to say the decade.
Rabbit good point
@@pisces2569 The "inaccurate" noblewoman costume was Renaissance-inspired. Why they leapt all the way to the late 18th century is beyond me.
Christine Sarkis maybe this particular costume was based on the 1700s noblewoman
It's more on like setting up for a movie rather than just for the halloween.
I LOVE this video, please make more 🙏
