For the people in the comments saying (to a professional) that she's doing it wrong bc the steam isn't touching the tutu, READ THE TITLE!!! It says HUMIDIFYING, not STEAMING!!!
Honestly the museums asmr is the best thing ever ! The best one was the clown costume and the sequin beads dress! The audio and soft speaking was just out of this world! The best asmr video ever ! Please do more like that !
I have tinnitus too. It sucks hard. Thank goodness we have modern technology to help mask it! Can't imagine how people dealt with it before white noise videos/ASMR/electricity for fans.
So glad it was uploaded just when I was about to hit the hay. I love it. Informative with relaxation is amazing. I wish they came more frequently. Great work. Thank you! ❤
My mother used to stiffen my tutu's by ironing using wax paper with brown paper on top of of both sides of the wax paper. Of course the wax would melt and stiffen the tulle after cooling. The tutu would keep its shape.
Ever the night owl and always looking for ways to fall asleep, these videos have become my “go to” for falling asleep. Thank you V&A and your conservators for sharing ASMR videos of this fascinating work. This is my absolute favorite, but I love them all. ❤️
It’s most likely stiff cotton or silk tulle, which you can create this sort of edge finish on. It’s very hard to come by this tulle now & very expensive. I found some vintage silk tulle to use for a range of bridal headpieces a few years back.
This is done so the tutu won't break? Bc I've seen some fabrics when they're not properly treated which look like a thin foam paper somehow, and if you bend it it will just break apart easily. Is this the case?
She's humidifying the tutu - direct steam would be too harsh. It's enough to introduce moisture to a material's immediate environment, even if there isn't a lot of direct contact. Tulle is safer to handle if you can remove some of its stiffness and give it more flexibility.
It does very gently. Part of it is that there's vapors so small we cannot even see them, but also that the air around the steam becomes more humid as well; she doesn't want to expose the textile to direct moisture. She's more in essence creating a humid environment for the garment to relax in than applying steam directly, like climate control.
I can't say more than gingersnaps comment - it's about humidifying the material and you want to do this as gently as possible. Moisture in the immediate environment to create flexibility is what you want, not a direct steaming.
All I can see is the steam going up, up and away from the tulle. A more intelligent approach would be to steam from the bottom. Is this really the best the V&A can do???
I am a professional, and I almost always steam from underneath the fabric...much better results, zero damage. (So far...in 30 years of working with costumes).
asmr can be any sound that you find relaxing / or makes you feel asmr. It doesn't necessarily have to be whispering. For some people, soft talking does the deal ❤️
It’s a little like homeopathy....the belief that not even touching something with a remedy will make a cure. That steam was nowhere near that fabric. A conservator would surely be aware that steam rises? It the tutu was suspended over the steam and then dried with a current of dry air, the job would have been done. All that handling and making the atmosphere wet would have had a severe impact on other precious items in the vicinity. I doubt if Belinda Wright would have wanted her tutu steamed anyway.
@@stayforthepeelpronpls4774 . It is not possible to maintain an artificial material such as this tutu by steam, even if it were touching it. It would only serve to make the material all the more ridged and inflexible.
It's not at all like homeopathy because introducing moisture to an environment absolutely has an effect on something like clothing. This is science, not snake oil. You want humidification, not direct steaming. She is not steaming the tutu.

Watched that clown video so many times as a way of relaxing!
Yes! That’s dress and costume clean was amazing. These women are brilliant
Not sure how it’s possible but seemingly EVERY conservator at the V&A is an asmr god. Love this content, thank you! 💙🙏🏼
Which makes it all the more disgusting that so many have just been made redundant!
I appreciate those who preserve these pieces of history as those who have made them. Simply amazing.
@@atmakali9599 I guess so.
The bubbling of the steam, the crinkle of the paper, her lovely accent. Love it!😘 #asmr
oh to be a museum worthy dress handled by such delicate and caring hands 😔
She’s fantastic, I wish they were longer. It’s a bit too short. 30+ ish minutes would be great, however I do appreciate this!
Yessss. So glad the museum is uploading more of these videos. Would love to see something longer too!
I could listen to this all day, everyday. It relaxes me all while teaching me fantastic conservation and cleaning tips. My OCD is in HEAVEN!
Constant tinnitus makes sleep so hard but your ASMR videos are such a help! Thank you so much!

this museum asmr series is such a cool idea! im loving all of them

this series restores my faith in humanity. ;-)

Please never stop making these videos. I watch the Charlie Chaplin and Henry Irving every night.
That tutu wouldn’t even fit over one of my thighs, let alone both 😳 So beautiful and delicate though!
Please, more of this. I love the mixture of museum pieces and ASMR sounds. 👍👍
These are so delicious! Thank you so much, please make them longer!
I could watch this woman for hours
This woman is a national treasure 🙏🙏
I am LOVING these videos.
YASSSSSS NEW ASMR VIDEO!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Love textiles, more clothes please
Please, do longer videos 🙏 I would love to sleep to the paper and steam sounds 💞
thank you so much for these videos! they're so relaxing and also very informative about the process of conservation!
the bubbling sound, thE CRINKLES! this is heavenly, thanks a lot ❤️ wish these were longer~ 😭
Her voice calms me better than the snuggliest hug
yes yes yes yes.. i have been waiting for this and i LOVE this woman’s voice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
These are the BEST!!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SERIES
I wish these videos were an hour long 😭
I need more of theseeeee
really good sounds!!
Is the frayed edge a feature of the design or a consequence of the object's age?
To me it looks like part of the garnment since all the edges are like this
Probably a combination of age and being danced in. Nylon doesnt fray but I think this might be an earlier fabric.
It’s most likely stiff cotton or silk tulle, which you can create this sort of edge finish on. It’s very hard to come by this tulle now & very expensive. I found some vintage silk tulle to use for a range of bridal headpieces a few years back.
this video should have been at least an hour long 😍
these are my favorite
We need longer videos 🖤🖤
Amazing !!! Thanks .
I love it!
Amazing 🥰
I'd totally watch a livestream of clothes conservation ;u;
dream job tbh
Oh, this is good.
Agua hirviendo, papel sonando. Lo máximo.
A good result.
Smooth of creases while creating frizzy hair .
Tumble drier low setting 1 min sorted .
Not with old stuff...
Just don’t put it in with a red T-shirt.
This is done so the tutu won't break? Bc I've seen some fabrics when they're not properly treated which look like a thin foam paper somehow, and if you bend it it will just break apart easily. Is this the case?
I would imagine a dehydrated material in some cases could become brittle and more likely to be damaged, so yes.
Ive watch this 100 times and it’s so funny because the steam looks like it’s going straight up and not even getting anywhere near the tutu.
She's humidifying the tutu - direct steam would be too harsh. It's enough to introduce moisture to a material's immediate environment, even if there isn't a lot of direct contact. Tulle is safer to handle if you can remove some of its stiffness and give it more flexibility.
@laerwen huh ...makes sense! I guess I just didn't realize it would be enough to relax the fabric. Thanks for the info!
Well that was a bummer. Would like to have seen how it looked when finished.
This is gonna take a minute!
It would have been nice to see the finished tutu on the mannequin! 😐
I wanted to see it on the mannequin. Darn.
We need a quieter voice for asmr but everything else is amazing
Just a warning, the four way split screen at 3.40 sent my auditory processing haywire!
Kool
Cool 😍but too loud specking
me: nope still can't stand ASMR
you : then why are you here?
me: just making sure
(didn't dislike, y'all)
:)
She needs to speak softer please 🙏💖and do more 😂
She speaks just fine.
I thought she was ok but softer would be ok too.
I am very interested in restoration and I love the V&A videos but this was like watching paint dry.
I know she’s the pro here but gosh the steam doesn’t even touch the garments!
It does very gently. Part of it is that there's vapors so small we cannot even see them, but also that the air around the steam becomes more humid as well; she doesn't want to expose the textile to direct moisture. She's more in essence creating a humid environment for the garment to relax in than applying steam directly, like climate control.
I can't say more than gingersnaps comment - it's about humidifying the material and you want to do this as gently as possible. Moisture in the immediate environment to create flexibility is what you want, not a direct steaming.
She should just stick it in the washer - it would be perf with surf.
You cant wash tutus,they shrink! Or it might just dissolve to bits due to age.
All I can see is the steam going up, up and away from the tulle. A more intelligent approach would be to steam from the bottom. Is this really the best the V&A can do???
I'm quite sure they know what to do and what's the best for that fragile garnment...
Also, it's more about humidity than direct steam
I am a professional, and I almost always steam from underneath the fabric...much better results, zero damage. (So far...in 30 years of working with costumes).
seems like your reading/writing comprehension has failed you, the title says humidifying not steaming...
@Lara-vo6rp Exactly. Amazing how many people have reading comprehension problems.
Not asmr she not whispering
asmr can be any sound that you find relaxing / or makes you feel asmr. It doesn't necessarily have to be whispering. For some people, soft talking does the deal ❤️

If you’re such an expert you go and work in her field.
Also she would have had her tutu steamed all the time because it had to look it’s best on stage
