Cynthia Amnéus, Curator of Fashion Arts & Textiles at the Cincinnati Art Museum, joins Barbara Kellar to discuss the historical accuracy of the period fashions in Downton Abbey.

When the host asks about how people survived without air conditioning, I have the answer. An English summer is much cooler than summer in many of the United States. Also, in 1912, people only wore natural fibres (often linen) which breathe much better than man-made polyester, which is essentially plastic. Nowadays, we regulate our environment with heating or A/C. They used clothing.
Corset in 1912 was totally different them 1890 one. Most corset in 1912 was under bust or low bust one and most the time you need brasier to support bust. Supporting garment similar to gorset was use to 1930/40s. Now we have elastic slips to control body too.
I was thinking the same. Also, it wouldn't have been a more streamlined silhouette on the hips.
I'm glad she clarified the corset question. It was foundation, not torture.
This is a wonderful video, thank you.
Except in 1912 women wore under bust corsets that ran over the hips! The corset Lady Mary wears doesn't go over the hips, Lady Mary would've also worn a garment combining a chemise and split drawers under her corset. Lady Mary could've also worn a princess slip under her evening gowns and a corset cover to smooth out that rigid line.
I love this two women!
awesome video! I really enjoyed this discussion!
Roberts shirts, Mathew's suit coat got burned
I can’t watch this woman with hair covering he eye.

What she says about the corsets contradicts absolutely everything I’ve ever read or heard said about them. The actors themselves said that the difference in their breathing and mobility was immense when in the corset. To say they were comfortable is nonsense.

That's because actresses in 2010 didn't wear corsets. Edwardian women would have been comfortable and supported along the back because they wore them every single day. You can't throw something like a corset on having never worn one before and expect to be immediately comfortable lol
Wearing a bra isn't always comfortable either, ask anyone who wears one! But you get used to it and almost feel more uncomfortable without one than with.
An actress from our time wouldn't be accustomed to wearing a corset. And they state that women didn't necessarily wear them supertight as movies sometimes make it seem.
There is a channel where a girl shows the process of getting dressed during different time periods. It is really informative and eye opening. Even shows (tastefully) how women handled using the bathroom.
Also does a much better job explaining how women dealt in the summer, such as wearing lighter fabrics and how the movement of dresses even created a breeze.
Look up Karolina Zebrowska for that
If 100 years from now an actress is made to wear an unfitted bra when she as never worn a bra in her life, she'll certainly complain too! It doesn't mean that a bra is not confortable nowadays when you are used to wearing them and actually make the effort of wearing one that fits you perfectly.
It's pretty much the same thing with corsets: it's a question of how well constructed they are, how well they fit the actresses (no tight-lacing), and mostly, of letting the actresses getting used to wearing them gradually (like a few hours a day in the beginning) instead of just making them spend an entire day on the thing at once. It's called breaking in the corset, and it's the same thing we do with new heels and new boots.
Bernadette Banner, Karoline Zebrowska, Abbey Cox and Nicole Rudolph would like to know your location 😄
Two women talking does not make a showcase 👎
