My cousin's prom dress from high school 6 years ago was an old dress from 1838 and she wore a corset with it. She was the most popular kid for her entire junior year because of having the best outfit at prom and for her prom date proposing to her in the parking lot of their school after prom was over. Sadly, when she returned to school after summer break, people started calling her "medieval freak" and picking on her for wearing the dress and doing her history project slideshow on the history of Indian women's fashion. She told me that people loved her slideshow too and she also told me that nobody even cared about her dress or slideshow until the next school year. Also, the only people picking on her were the people who showed this much interest in her dress and slideshow. After the school year was over, she completely lost her interest in historic woman's fashion and she now works as a bartender. She could've made a great carrier out of her passion but her classmates ruined it for her in high school.
Here's the thing, those of you complaining that fashions these days aren't to your liking. Great, nobody is telling you to buy what's in the high street. Wear 20's if you like 20's, wear Elizabethan if you like, no one is stopping you! Do what makes you happy, in our era we have the gift of CHOICE, if you choose to lament old fashion but wear high street clothes (that you apparently don't like) you're just being hypocritical.
Unfortunately fashion is dictated by social acceptance more than taste. If one were to wear an Elizabethan attire in public, they would be stared and laughed at by strangers and ridiculed by their close friends and family. Got to love human nature, am I right?
It is amazing to think of the level of change people born in the middle half of the 19th century experienced in terms of fashion alone. Someone who was born in 1850 could've lived to see both the large luxurious cotton dresses of their youths and the simple elegancy of the early 40s, even the early 50s if they lived so long. I feel like we've come so far and now there's nothing else left to do but GO BACK and take from fashions of the past, but I doubt that will happen. Modern fashion is either ridiculously simple and casual, or nauseatingly trite (see 'snapbacks', the strange return of balloon pants, and anything from either Drake or Kanye West's fashion lines).

Well, Coco was very wrong to do so. Honestly, the way we women look now, we do need corsets! Women should dress up and take pride in the way we onced dressed with such class and elegance.
On the eve of the end of the first decade of the twenty first century-it is amazing to see the many faces of women's garments-each decade blossoms into another evolution of it's former self-simply amazing-HAPPY NEW YEAR
Interesting video: I am actually a little surprised that the reactions to fashions came around more often then expected (fashions are always grouped in decades and centuries, you know) - just look at the headgear during this and the other year by year vid. I say that each and every single trend - fashion included - has always had positive and negative sides. The periods included here are no exceptions.
Well, that's the whole point. That clothes (let's not call it fashion, for a moment) were adapted to war circumstances. So when people had to make clothes, they made them with the available materials, and thus they were less bulky (because of less materials available), and in the case of WW2, square shoulders and no-nonsense look prevailed for women, a more "soldierly" look if you like. That's why in 1947 there was the ultra-feminine New Look by Dior, to forget about WW2.
Sorry abut that but the stuff after 1893 that I dug up was just examples for each year rather than a comprehensive history of design. Personally I think the First World War liberated women from corsets: they were inconvenient for work and governments needed the steel to make guns: women didn't bother to go back to them. It can be seen that most of the women aren't wearing corsets in the pics from about 1919/20.
I probably have commented before but I just love this video, it needs to be watched a few times, it is easy to miss the interesting and subtle changes from year to year, especially in the early part of the video, thumbs up to you!
Agree! Although most women have curvy bodies, it is considered ugly and fat. Today's ideals are sick. Why can't we just accept that women have curves, like they did back in the days?
me gusta el vida es muy detallado y completo, me recuerda a todas las pelicuals que he visto de esas épocas como Orgullo y Prejuicio y a Downton Abbey porque transcurría el tiempo y la moda.
the immediate source is given in the 'credits' at the end. Where the main source for the 1795-1893 images obtained them I'm not sure but think it was a book published in the 1890's reproducing old periodical fashion plates.
I'm putting together a something for 1949 to 1980 with three frames to a year - have got to 1977. It's may be that the transition is from winter 1924/5 to winter 1926/7 between 1925 and 1926 - and the same for 1930-1931. Ideally it should have showed two seasons per year the sources I used weren't specific enough.
The 1821 dress with the posies is so cute! And I love the green dress from 1845, and the 1856 white dress with the roses is gorgeous! OOH, and I love the dresses from 1877-81! But I'd have to say my favorites were from 1905,1909,1912,and on. If I could pick an era to live in, I would either pick the 1700's, or the twenties, thirties and forties. They were so glamorous! ( And I just noticed this is a really long message! )
you should compile and post more videos all the way u p until now i'd like to see how each era's fashion changes thanks for posting it, those were some amazing images!
Best 100 years of fashion - 1810 to 1910 - ladies dress was stunning - long dresses, big hats, exquisite embroidery, bustles, crinolines, corsets and shapely women! KAN 7.19 UK
Beautiful historical clothes, but awfully repressive for women, especially in the 19th century. Even day wear required corsets (worn tight). Women had myriad health problems related to wearing corsets - frequent fainting the least of these. To me, the fashions in the 1950's were the most beautiful, feminine and flattering for women. There was an elegance and simplicity. I agree that we should all dress the way we want (although, what I wouldn't give to never see a gimme/advertising/stupid
Fabulous! I think the '40s and '70s were definitely my favorite decades in fashion. I'm the rare person who doesn't care for Regency, and I love the '60s, so the '40s are a good compromise. Same for '70s; I just think the '80s styles were too restrictive. Also, just curious: Which version of Venus is this?
For a better understanding of women's fashion history (there isn't any for panties prior to about 1935 & adaptations much like diapers in the Sears catalogue) try Googling "Chemise" for what women wore under their skirts (the only thing that they ever wore... if anything at all.. under their skirts) ... probably since the invention of clothing or the Time of sewing together a few leaves to newly discovered nakedness in the Garden of Eden (see also Shift),
Enjoyed this. Just thanking God that I don't have to wear some of the garments worn by our ancestors. Can you imagine trying to wash dishes, paint your bedroom or hang wallpaper, bathe the baby, milk a cow, plant a garden, work in an office, drive a car .... just add your own thoughts.... it would be impossible to do today and probably difficult back then. Not everyone had servants.. or even sisters, cousins or a mom to help get dressed. Again..Thank God for my jeans and tees.
I'm a fashion designer and I have to disagree with some comments on here. I do not applud designers for elminating the corset. I loved when women were women and men were men. I loved the idea of women having to "dress" daily. The gowns, the gloves, corsets, petticoats...lovely elegance. I do so love Chanel though and what she did for fashion. Poiret- not so much.
thank you so much i have always been interested in western culture, i watch classicla movies i love them, and everytime i see women fashion in whatever movie i am watching i try to trace back the date and time of the era. i m not at all into the 20s fashion i love the 30s but 40s and 60s and late 1800s and early 1900s are my favorite. love the 50s as well its very glamorous lots of glitter diamonds and bejeweled gowns.
I like how the bell bottom dresses got ridiculously big until 1868. I guess cotton got more expensive so big bell bottom dresses wasn't the norm anymore lol
Exactly! It is the fault of the medias because they only present thin models and therefore put into people's mind that this is the only look we should want/desire. And it is society's fault for accepting this. I find it hard to see some of girlfriends wanting to lose weight, going through starvation and other methods to lose weight in order to present themselves the way they're told they should. It's just cruel.
Ooh, I agree with you on the bad fashion ideas. I personnally love the fashion of 1819 (for example), but hate 1835 one. I think it looks a little bit ridiculous compared to the simplicity of Regency look.
very nice video, love it :D i am planning to make a regency dress and your video gave me lots of ideas :D and i also liked the music :D i don't know why, but i did. so can you tell me where did you get it? :D
I agree that one should be free to dress as one likes, each of us expressing his/her personality. In theory you can, but in practice, if you're a corporate businesswoman or a lady lawyer and you appear in a company meeting or in court, I'm not saying in a corset and bustled skirt, but even in a regular contemporary dress (those you see girls wearing all the time) with a flowery print, you won't be taken seriously. It's infuriating, and I'd love to see it changed, but that's the way it is.
The best... 1795-1810 (Looks similar to Early 1910s), 1877-81 nice, flowing, less restrictive... then anything after 1922. The worst.... Late 1820s -1830s, The sleeves were ridiculous. Everything was wrong...then again in 1892-96. Same weird problem, Mutton Sleeves. They returned in the 198Os, another nightmare fashion decade.
7:39 : Christian Dior "New Look" but we didn't see any Coco Chanel suit..... Why ? Coco Chanel freed women from the corset... Coco Chanel gave women freedom....
@FuelledByForties Except Lady Gaga in the meat dress is only representative of Lady Gaga, this dresses while not quite universal were meant to be used on a daily basis (or in parties).
Today there is no fashion it's all levi's and flip flops, or worse........The green dress in l921........they were playing with the skirts and waistline........
You have the right to like whatever you want, but you got it all wrong about the spirit of those decades. The '80s started an era of complete freedom: there was the official fashion (shoulder pads and all) but you could actually wear whatever you liked! Contrary to the '60s and '70s where everybody dressed the same. I know what I'm talking about, I was there, I was a child in the '60s, a teenager in the '70s and a young woman in the '80s!
this is great! does anyone remember the parts in the book Gone With the Wind how Scarlett talks about how Grandmother Robillard used to wear her petticoats soaking wet and then slightly wrung out so it would show off her legs? Did anyone really do that?
The common theory is that if it actually happened that it happened with women who were not considered respectable at private parties. The thin muslin, when wet, goes totally transparent. It's the sort of thing people talk about other people having done but no one actually will ever admit to doing it.
Corsets that we mostly think of today we’re probably out of style in the 1920’s-30’s. If you look up corsets in the 1920’s you’d see That the became more thin and lower.
Tight lacing corsets didn't really become a big issue until the mid 1890s which led to the invention of the health corset in 1900, which were less restrictive. Corsets were used up until the early-mid 1920s but they were much different than those of the Victorian period.
Some of those turn of the century fashions (1700s into 1800s weren't healthy because the women dampened their dresses to imitate Roman statues. I think simple 50s dresses would be the nicest return a women's style. The most flattering.
The hair style and dress of 1840's were simply the top of elegance.
Here you can see 1840's hairstyle

War and shortages of fabric had a great deal to do with clothes becoming simpler and with less fabric.
The music was a brilliant choice!

You can find pretty feminine outfits today. If that's your cup of tea. Just my opinion.
How I wish there would be a video of fashions from 1981 to today.
i have no idea why, but the music together with the mild color theme makes this video really unsettling and i just cant figure it out
I sometimes wonder if the title"Venus bringer of
peace" isn't ambiguous in a wicked sort of way.
I know right...
wow. i noticed how the dresses were full, and then close-fitting, and then full again. how interesting! thanks for the video!

This video gives me solace. I've come to this video many times to deescalate. You can call me odd, but I mean well lol.

I find it so interesting that it took until about 1925 for women to be able to show their calves--and even then covered in stockings!
Isn´t it funny how recently we started wearing trousers? I never thought of that, but watching this video it sprang to my mind.
thank you for the video of the beautiful fashion plates!
What is your source for the early (up to 1893) ones? they are amazing pictures that bring to mind Godey's Ladies Book!
apologizes if you've already answered this, but what is this song?

I like how the bell bottom dresses got ridiculously big until 1868. I guess cotton got more expensive so big bell bottom dresses wasn't the norm anymore lol
true - but some of the 20th century stuff is from mail order catalogues, popular magazines and the 'petit echo de la mode.'

I just want to add that bras may not be as constrictive as corsets- they are still binding and we still wear them for society.
1835-1860 were the most beautiful.❤️ How I wish they would come back! What a pity that this is not possible!

At one time they believed that women with large hips where more fertile, they reason for the dresses - they made the hips look bigger.
Am I the only one here who came here to know what to put the women in the decades challenge for The Sims 4?
@kourobou Did you know that western clothes of the 19th century were also used by Asians? there was quite a cultural exchange at that time.
how the heck does fashion go from slim silhouette to fat ass dresses then back to ridiculously tiny waists again, we people have no imagination
oh thx for sharing very beautiful, I like fashion from 1870 to 1900 best ^^
Great video!!!
this is great! does anyone remember the parts in the book Gone With the Wind how Scarlett talks about how Grandmother Robillard used to wear her petticoats soaking wet and then slightly wrung out so it would show off her legs? Did anyone really do that?

It's the sort of thing people talk about other people having done but no one actually will ever admit to doing it.
what year was the corset finally out of style? looking at those fashionable tiny waists, must have created a lot of health risks
Joye Briggs they never really went out of style, but transformed into girdles.
Corsets that we mostly think of today we’re probably out of style in the 1920’s-30’s. If you look up corsets in the 1920’s you’d see That the became more thin and lower.
And fainting on the streets.
Tight lacing corsets didn't really become a big issue until the mid 1890s which led to the invention of the health corset in 1900, which were less restrictive. Corsets were used up until the early-mid 1920s but they were much different than those of the Victorian period.
It was obligatory for women till 1905/6
