I imagine that by 7055, people would be watching videos of us getting dressed. "*_And now, a blue garment called the jeans were pulled up to the hip, and a hooded jumper would be put on for warmth. Two white strings fell down onto the chest to compliment the modest look_*"
This comment needs to be higher up. Also, the 'foot-warmer' that the Girl with a Pearl Earring uses can be seen in the background of 'The Milkmaid'. The detail in this video is just...*chef's kiss
EnigmaDrath yeah absolutely understand that but you know what I mean this kind of thing doesn’t exist anymore at all, guess maybe in other countries some royal families still take this much care though
Even tho they used to sleep and wake up with the sun. So when its sunrise they would wake up normally and when the sun sets and it becomes dark they go and sleep Maybe not immediately but like one hour after
i thought it was just gonna be a simple video like some of the previous ones but this took a twist my jaw dropped when she pulled out the teardrop pearl earrings.
I got chills at the ending reference of the 1665 painting and the fact that she looked so identical to that is strikingly uncanny. So loved this. Subscribing Today.
I've rewatched this video so many times trying to get a general idea of how everything was put together and worn and I kid you not, EVERY time I watch it I get chills
Everyone says that historical clothes look so uncomfortable, but I think wearing a chemise, petticoats and cozy stockings would be so comfy. Idk maybe I’m weird.
I've always said it'd be cool to try wearing certain things from historical fashion, too. Practically speaking, they're not very functional for the modern woman, but the clothes were just so pretty! One thing I *don't* mind missing out on is the corset. I know people say depending on what kind it is and how you wear it, they're really not that uncomfortable, but...nah brah, definitely not my thing and I'm so thankful it's not the convention to wear them today (even though I know some choose to and that's cool). That's just me.
it's not the chemise, the petticoats or the stockings that are uncomfortable in these outfits. corsets were almost banished from womens fashion for a reason lol. i don't mind wearing a well fitted and tailored corset for a couple of hours but imagine spending the whole day, every day in a corset, having to work in it, probably even exercising in one.. nope thank you!
@@martinainniger6716 actualy the idea of the being corset being for a small waist did not exist until around the Victorian times. What was used by women before that was the stays they were more used to support the bust those who could afford it boned it with whalebone but the lower would often bone them with a bundle of reeds that was a lot more flexible. So if you were rich enough to afford whale bone then you would not need the flexibility to work.
As all women pretty much followed the fashion of the day, all the portraits would have looked the same. You may imagine that only the wealthiest would afford paintings made of themselves (no selfies, and cheap). No wonder they all looked so "stiff" wearing those items especially that whale bone corset!
Olivia Kukahiko source? from what i understand there’s quite a bit of contention about what women did/wore on their periods throughout history, as it wasn’t generally the sort of thing that was recorded. however, i can say that with the luxury of modern conveniences like pads/tampons and analgesics, it’s really not that much different. toilets can be difficult to navigate, but you learn to deal with the skirts. and on the plus side, you never have to worry about staining your pants!
Well, till the 20th century, undergarments for women were really rare. They wouldnt wear anything pant like at all under their chemise, so for the longest time, women just let it flow- There are rumors about some using moss in the medieval days for example, but there is no proof for that. (Lets just say Im glad that we are in the 21st century by now-)
Just gorgeous. The part from 7:13 onwards, when the painter comes in, and all prior hints fall into place, is particularly breathtaking for being shot in a painterly, even Vermeer-esque, way - rich colors, luminous pearlized surfaces. In addition to the Girl with a Pearl Earring, there seems to be a second Vermeer lady here - the servant's dress, with its brown jacket, blue apron, and white headdress, seems very similar to that of his Milkmaid/Kitchen Maid...
@@jgallub Good catch! The candleholder is most likely Delftware (blue and white pottery made in Delft in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in imitation of imported Chinese blue and white porcelain); as you noted, it shows up frequently in Vermeer's work.
I hadn't considered the Little Ice Age when looking at Period clothing. It makes perfect sense that people would have worn as many thick layers as possible, or as much as they could afford. Loved this video.
I got chills when I saw the earrings. This artists prefers the realism and technique of the Old Masters. Vermeer is one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing!!
i’m honestly so surprised and happy that this channel exists. i’ve always had an interest in historical clothing but it was never easy to find or research examples that were realistic, and this channel is the perfect place for that! :)
I feel like we are attracted to dressing these ways because the layers and beauty contribute to a feeling that is similar to meditation or selfcare. There's nothing meditative or lovely about throwing on jeans and a tshirt.
I love this getting dressed series!! It’s just so beautifully put together and so calming to watch and listen to. The cinematography is amazing, the angles, the detail, the lighting! It’s just all so good! You can definitely tell that a talented and very creative person or team put these together. Please make more!
The narrator had the most soothing voice and perfect the way she took us on this walk back in time. The young lady at the end looked like a portrait. Shes beautiful!
You nailed the jacket perfectly ! alot of recreations use dull material (probably wool) but if you look at the jacket the shimmer and sheen of the fabric suggests satin. Similarly the tail of the turban has a slight sheen that many people don't pick up on.The satin of this jacket and the sheen of the turban tail really make this look like the painting! Absolutely stunning!
It's not even what I do. My night dress is a t shirt and underwear. My day dress is just putting on a pant. That's it, not even a belt. I'm a simple man
Does anyone else find it amazing that despite this young woman's identity and who she was being lost to time and history, her visage is known by millions of people the world over, some three centuries after her passing? She was portrayed in a Hollywood film and, here, she's portrayed in a video on the internet, something that people during that time couldn't have even conceived of. I think that's what makes art and artists so amazing; in a small way, they make immortality possible.
@@orchidsarepretty1422 all fun and games till you realize you don't have any rights and are forced to marry at the ripe old age of *child.* Provided you live that long.
I just found this Channel and I am mesmerized! The moderators voice is amazing and makes these videos seem like an experience! I feel transported back in time. Beautiful...educational and inspirational. Thank you.
Stumbling across your videos was a blessing. I love every single part of it. It is such high quality content that is both extremely relaxing and educational. I suffer from anxiety and depression and watching these videos just brings me joy, satisfaction and a sense of calm that I rarely experience. Please keep up the amazing work
I think that if that was a peasant woman, she would have put the stockings on first. However, this one had a maid, so she could help her with the stockings.
The two crowseye videos that almost brought me to tears were the Gioconda and this one. Can you imagine, those two girls, sitting casually at a chair, being instructed by a painter to stay still for a couple of hours, their boredom of just sitting there, holding that same pose and expression, getting tired of holding that same neck and back position for hours at a time (especially the Girl With a Pearl Earring!!!, such a twisted neck!!!). I don't think that they ever realized at that split moment in the ebb of infinite time, that, in the midst of their boredom, their tiredness at holding the same pose for hours, their faces would be recognized by the entire human race. Whether they realize it or not, those few split moments in history, made their beauty worth the wait.
*ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!* They really don't make videos like these enough, it's that rare combination of beauty and education mixed together that make it flawless. Thank you so much for making and posting such a lovely video. I look very much forward to your next upload!
I have been following this series for a while now and I love it. This episode really excited me because I live in delft!! Nice to see that you did not choose Amsterdam, which has practicly the same clothes in the golden age. I love the video, and greetings from Delft
Much better than the movie about the portrait and more logical explanation. I found this very interesting because the basic dress components were relatively simple and unadorned. I was also surprised about the bodice and that stays were not worn underneath. Very nice presentation.
The stays (corsets but not really) are flat in the front hence the boobs are pushed up quiet a bit and the stay ends mid breast, sooo they saw some great cleavage back then
Het filmpje is letterlijk 8 minuten lang, waarbij ze de tijd nemen om uit te leggen wat ze doen? Zo lang waren ze helemaal niet bezig. Als dit je dagelijkse kleding is dan kan je met ongeveer 5 minuten klaar zijn.
That bodice looks more comfortable and supportive than some of today's bras. I like the fact that it could sort of be worn as outerwear without the need for additional bust support. I wish I could find something like it. #bustyladyissues
You know, they still have stays made for reenactors on some sites. And stays may not be the cheapest thing to buy nowadays, but some corsets are pretty cheap. The overbust corsets are what you’re looking for. Most well-made off the rack corsets cost about $60-$80. Some good first corset brands to try out are Orchard Corset and Timeless Trends. Make sure to talk with one of their sizing experts so you can get the best fitting corset they have for your measurements. And if you’re concerned about the effects of corseting on your body, check out Lucy’s Corsetry on RUclips. She has a lot of informative videos and corset reviews. Just so you know :)
Yes, I know quite a bit about corsets. I own several of them as a matter of fact. I am also subscribed to Lucy's channel and am very familiar with Orchard Corset, Timeless Trends, Dark Garden, Starkers, and many other corset brands and one-person businesses. What I was saying was that I would like to find a boned bodice like the one shown in the video that functions like both stays and outerwear. That way I can wear only one thing on the top half of my body (except for a chemise-like garment underneath of course) without the need for extra bust support. I hope that all makes sense.
.. can't wear long sleeves and risk dragging your sleeve across the ink and smearing it all over the page, not to mention all over the sleeve. Back then letter writing was the main form of communication and something that was expected of educated people - and thanks to computers and social media, it is becoming a lost art ;-)
Berkley Pearl please don't say "Dutch master" that is very racist white supremacist term especially since the Dutch owned slaves and were "slave masters". Just be more considerate of other races when wording your sentences next time, thank you.
The Founding Fathers, I wasn’t talking about race. I was talking about painting. In the 17th century the Netherlands was at a huge economic boom and lead to the arts becoming an extremely important part of their culture. During this time there came many artists, such as Johannes Vermeer, who practically defined the way contemporary painters use oil paints today. If that’s not ‘mastery’ of a specific painting technique I don’t know what is.
Berkley Pearl yes but saying "Dutch master" as a general term can be seen as racist and very offensive to black people who were victims of evil Dutch slavers. Master was used as name for slave owners which would imply they were masters of slaves as if they were less than human or "animal" pets only there to do their bidding. You can like art works of Dutch painters, but Dutch "culture" if you can even call it that shouldn't by no means be celebrated or looked at as something as good since all the wealth and power they generated was on the backs of slaves and non whites. Even to this day Dutch people use black face as part of their culture. Any "culture" that still condones black face in 2018 should never ever be seen as inspiring or good.
i can't wait to see some of your paintings! and btw, just ignore the other person, we all know what is referred to with the Dutch Masters (de Nederlandse Meesters as we say in dutch) (wh themselves weren't always very rich the thing about the golden age was that everyone and their mom was painting about, the great quantities caused lower values)
Yes. I want to get so much better at painting and art in general. I find that being naturaly observant and curious helps with that. I am constantly noticing things about the world. Water has always facinated me. And birds. The universe is so incredibly beautiful and amazing and awesome and I want to be able to understand and show and learn from as much of it as possible. I have always loved the fact that you can look at something and them make that something apear on a piece of paper. It sounds kind of weird when you put it like that. Vermeer is interesting. I watched a documentary a while ago about how he might have used mirrors while painting and I was going to try it, but I tend to forget about and abandon most things like this that I start. Eyes and light are also wonderful. Shadows are both a thing I really need to improve and a thing I find really interesting.
In the 2020's, even the upper class dressed themselves. Undergarments were simple and minimal as heating and air conditioning had become widely popularized and accessible in the western world. Denim pants known as blue jeans, or simply jeans, were incredibly popular. While the name blue jeans implies that all pants in this era were blue, denim could come in nearly every color imaginable. However, the classic blue hue was most common. Many adolescents of this time had abandoned the tight, elastic jeans of the last decade, opting for a looser cut, often cuffing the bottom as mass-manufacture led to clothing that was not quite a perfect fit. Simple, loose cotton shirts were worn on top, often times with varying prints, text, images, and colors that could be bought to suit each person's liking. These were known as t-shirts. While most were of the short-sleeved variety, long-sleeved t-shirts were not uncommon. Blue jeans and t-shirts were worn by every gender. Shoes were often made to be comfortable, and came in many styles and varieties - the most common either simply slid onto the foot or attached by laces. Socks were typically worn under shoes and came in many styles, the most popular ending at the ankle. Makeup was most often worn by women, but this was a time when gender norms were breaking and it was becoming more normal for makeup to be worn or not worn by nearly anyone. Hair and makeup were determined by each person's own unique style, with many people taking inspiration from favored celebrities.
Loved this soo much... I kept thinking at the start that the dressing maid looked like De MelkMeid from Vermeer... then at the end it all made sense... Beautiful video, soothing voice and informative.
These videos make me so so happy. I'm very glad I came across this channel. I'll be back to watch this video (As well as the others) many more times while I wait for the next one!! Keep up the amazing work!
that's a footwarmer?!! for the longest time my mom used it to put plants on lmao. I'll have to dig that thing up again some time, and use it for its actual purpose :)
You can find them in every second hand store, although many people wouldn't know what they were used for initially. I use mine to keep knick-knacks in (and until I saw this video, I had no idea they were footwarmers).
Everyone: Wow this took hours to put on and it must have been sooo hot Video: -*takes 8 minutes to get dressed* -"This was also the time known as the Little Ice Age"
Yeah. Exactly. I mean, how stupid do you need to be to make such a claim when the video proves otherwise? It's a shame that those comments are on top and yours all the way down.
Beautiful! So precious to see this whole process! In Panama, the "Pollera", the national dress, wears all those layers -because it comes from Spain- with two peticotes, linrn embroidering, valencienne lacing and pearl flowers for the head. Thanks a million!!!
@@1437-v4d It's what we do today as well. We just do it into a toilet that flushes into the nearest water way. THen we drink that. At least people in the middle ages didn't toss their poop down their well.
The historical accuracy of these get dressed videos is absolutely amazing. Sometimes I rewatch these videos over and over again because they are so interesting and because I love the narrator’s soothing voice ❤️
They didn't really even have underwear or bras back then. Just pop a squat 😂 but if you are wealthy enough just have a maid pull your skirt up for you lol
An amazing youtuber named Prior Attire actually debunked and revealed that getting ready in such layers would only take 8-20 minutes, and that was _without_ a maid to help
also worth pointing out that in those days there was no train to catch or traffic to beat. for many people, anything they need to get or do is pretty much within walking distance; and for many _rich people,_ they could just have a servant fetch the latest Arminian tract from the bookstore or something.
Tbh I'm pretty sure the clothing for children didn't vary that much from an adults For young girls I'd say its safe to assume the stays wouldn't be laced tightly
The stays weren't just for shape but also important for protecting core heat and supporting the body since bras weren't yet a common thing. Children normally had soft wool stays that fitted like a modern no-sleeve wool vest would. In a time when the little ice age was in swing, having good and breathable layers to protect from the cold was vital.
What a lovely video! I loved the end part, such a fun surprise!!! Thank you (I want to watch it again. Well done. You turned an 8 minute video into something really interesting and memorable) 🌺
it never occurred to me that people would have worn shoes that were the same left and right. i learn so much from these videos, thank you so much for making them !!!
I’m not one for historical ladies fashion, but the narrator’s voice is relaxing, and it all comes together satisfying, and history is interesting, so I shall binge the series for the next hour or 18.

She didn't actually have a pearl earing.
Dresses of simple women from different periods are also interesting, not only wealthy/aristocratic. You can show them too?)

Beautiful ending. She is almost identical to portrait.

About 2 million years actually!..
But how they filmed and shared this video without the internet?

There’s something so warming about how everything used to be.
Courtney Matrix I agree sometimes I wish I lived then

Probably because of all the layers, it probably traps a lot of heat.
Honestly I kinda wished I lived back then

I just found this Channel and I am mesmerized! The moderators voice is amazing and makes these videos seem like an experience! I feel transported back in time. Beautiful...educational and inspirational. Thank you.
Stumbling across your videos was a blessing. I love every single part of it. It is such high quality content that is both extremely relaxing and educational. I suffer from anxiety and depression and watching these videos just brings me joy, satisfaction and a sense of calm that I rarely experience. Please keep up the amazing work
Everyone is freaking out over the ending whereas I have just learned I have been reading chemis wrong my entire life.
Bahahaha!!!
Gabby and Sabrina Ooh!! Same here. It’s a good thing I’ve never said it in public.
chemise - french for shirt actually...long or short
....how were you reading it? Kaymis? Ch (as in cherry) meese?
Apparently, you were spelling it wrong as well! XD (I am only joking, please don't take to too close to your heart:)
i feel like putting the stockings on first might have been more logical
Same
less warm though
You know how easily stockings can get a run. There's too much of a risk if you did that first.
I think that if that was a peasant woman, she would have put the stockings on first. However, this one had a maid, so she could help her with the stockings.
@@annakrull7072 you're making a comparison with corsetry. This is before stays and even then the stockings are put on before the bodice
The two crowseye videos that almost brought me to tears were the Gioconda and this one. Can you imagine, those two girls, sitting casually at a chair, being instructed by a painter to stay still for a couple of hours, their boredom of just sitting there, holding that same pose and expression, getting tired of holding that same neck and back position for hours at a time (especially the Girl With a Pearl Earring!!!, such a twisted neck!!!). I don't think that they ever realized at that split moment in the ebb of infinite time, that, in the midst of their boredom, their tiredness at holding the same pose for hours, their faces would be recognized by the entire human race. Whether they realize it or not, those few split moments in history, made their beauty worth the wait.
This one of the most beautiful comments I've ever read.
*ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!* They really don't make videos like these enough, it's that rare combination of beauty and education mixed together that make it flawless. Thank you so much for making and posting such a lovely video. I look very much forward to your next upload!
I have been following this series for a while now and I love it. This episode really excited me because I live in delft!! Nice to see that you did not choose Amsterdam, which has practicly the same clothes in the golden age. I love the video, and greetings from Delft
isa van gameren leuk he om dit eens over nederland te zien
Much better than the movie about the portrait and more logical explanation. I found this very interesting because the basic dress components were relatively simple and unadorned. I was also surprised about the bodice and that stays were not worn underneath. Very nice presentation.
Boys back then: i saw her ankle
SO HOT !
Hahaha
LOL 😅😅
Boyz now : I saw her....from angle to cranium... flaming hot !!
Lol
The stays (corsets but not really) are flat in the front hence the boobs are pushed up quiet a bit and the stay ends mid breast, sooo they saw some great cleavage back then
2019: "You take three hours to get ready? What a waste of time"
Then: "You take three hours to get ready? Dang teach me how you do that so fast"
RUclipsrs makeup artists do take three hours to get ready. Much more layers are applied to theirs faces than clothes back then 😂
It only took 8 minutes. That was the entire video.
kahula4x4 oh shut up
Jane dude chill :/
@@awhellyeah12 take a deep breath.
What an ending!!! I did not see that coming!!! Bravo! Bravo! I absolutely love what you guys do on this channel. I am so happy I found you
As a dutch citizen, I greatly appreciate this, I never so much effort was needed to get dressed in the dutch golden age. so a dreamy era.
Het filmpje is letterlijk 8 minuten lang, waarbij ze de tijd nemen om uit te leggen wat ze doen? Zo lang waren ze helemaal niet bezig. Als dit je dagelijkse kleding is dan kan je met ongeveer 5 minuten klaar zijn.
I just realized that not only the noblewoman, but also the maid are reference to a Vermeer painting. Incredible details, love it
That bodice looks more comfortable and supportive than some of today's bras. I like the fact that it could sort of be worn as outerwear without the need for additional bust support. I wish I could find something like it. #bustyladyissues
MizzKittyBichon I can tell you in all honesty, it was SO COMFORTABLE! 😉
I know right?! Oof
Yes! I won't mind if they bring stays back into fashion, just so I won't have to struggle finding a bra that actually fits
You know, they still have stays made for reenactors on some sites. And stays may not be the cheapest thing to buy nowadays, but some corsets are pretty cheap. The overbust corsets are what you’re looking for. Most well-made off the rack corsets cost about $60-$80. Some good first corset brands to try out are Orchard Corset and Timeless Trends. Make sure to talk with one of their sizing experts so you can get the best fitting corset they have for your measurements. And if you’re concerned about the effects of corseting on your body, check out Lucy’s Corsetry on RUclips. She has a lot of informative videos and corset reviews. Just so you know :)
Yes, I know quite a bit about corsets. I own several of them as a matter of fact. I am also subscribed to Lucy's channel and am very familiar with Orchard Corset, Timeless Trends, Dark Garden, Starkers, and many other corset brands and one-person businesses. What I was saying was that I would like to find a boned bodice like the one shown in the video that functions like both stays and outerwear. That way I can wear only one thing on the top half of my body (except for a chemise-like garment underneath of course) without the need for extra bust support. I hope that all makes sense.
Indoor activities -- such a letter writing.
And staring... or having a portrait of you painted... of course after the difficult task of having someone dress you 😅
.. can't wear long sleeves and risk dragging your sleeve across the ink and smearing it all over the page, not to mention all over the sleeve.
Back then letter writing was the main form of communication and something that was expected of educated people - and thanks to computers and social media, it is becoming a lost art ;-)
Hand job as well
I mean it is an activity you primarily do indoors. That's how English works.
The final shot is chillingly enchanting. She is perfect and has such beautiful eyes.
I deeply enjoyed this video. The ending was beautiful and quite surprising!
I saw the earrings and I flipped out! I dream of one day being able to paint like a Dutch master. I love this!
Berkley Pearl please don't say "Dutch master" that is very racist white supremacist term especially since the Dutch owned slaves and were "slave masters". Just be more considerate of other races when wording your sentences next time, thank you.
The Founding Fathers, I wasn’t talking about race. I was talking about painting. In the 17th century the Netherlands was at a huge economic boom and lead to the arts becoming an extremely important part of their culture. During this time there came many artists, such as Johannes Vermeer, who practically defined the way contemporary painters use oil paints today. If that’s not ‘mastery’ of a specific painting technique I don’t know what is.
Berkley Pearl yes but saying "Dutch master" as a general term can be seen as racist and very offensive to black people who were victims of evil Dutch slavers. Master was used as name for slave owners which would imply they were masters of slaves as if they were less than human or "animal" pets only there to do their bidding. You can like art works of Dutch painters, but Dutch "culture" if you can even call it that shouldn't by no means be celebrated or looked at as something as good since all the wealth and power they generated was on the backs of slaves and non whites. Even to this day Dutch people use black face as part of their culture. Any "culture" that still condones black face in 2018 should never ever be seen as inspiring or good.
i can't wait to see some of your paintings!
and btw, just ignore the other person, we all know what is referred to with the Dutch Masters (de Nederlandse Meesters as we say in dutch)
(wh themselves weren't always very rich the thing about the golden age was that everyone and their mom was painting about, the great quantities caused lower values)
Yes. I want to get so much better at painting and art in general. I find that being naturaly observant and curious helps with that. I am constantly noticing things about the world. Water has always facinated me. And birds. The universe is so incredibly beautiful and amazing and awesome and I want to be able to understand and show and learn from as much of it as possible. I have always loved the fact that you can look at something and them make that something apear on a piece of paper. It sounds kind of weird when you put it like that. Vermeer is interesting. I watched a documentary a while ago about how he might have used mirrors while painting and I was going to try it, but I tend to forget about and abandon most things like this that I start. Eyes and light are also wonderful. Shadows are both a thing I really need to improve and a thing I find really interesting.
In the 2020's, even the upper class dressed themselves. Undergarments were simple and minimal as heating and air conditioning had become widely popularized and accessible in the western world. Denim pants known as blue jeans, or simply jeans, were incredibly popular. While the name blue jeans implies that all pants in this era were blue, denim could come in nearly every color imaginable. However, the classic blue hue was most common. Many adolescents of this time had abandoned the tight, elastic jeans of the last decade, opting for a looser cut, often cuffing the bottom as mass-manufacture led to clothing that was not quite a perfect fit. Simple, loose cotton shirts were worn on top, often times with varying prints, text, images, and colors that could be bought to suit each person's liking. These were known as t-shirts. While most were of the short-sleeved variety, long-sleeved t-shirts were not uncommon. Blue jeans and t-shirts were worn by every gender. Shoes were often made to be comfortable, and came in many styles and varieties - the most common either simply slid onto the foot or attached by laces. Socks were typically worn under shoes and came in many styles, the most popular ending at the ankle. Makeup was most often worn by women, but this was a time when gender norms were breaking and it was becoming more normal for makeup to be worn or not worn by nearly anyone. Hair and makeup were determined by each person's own unique style, with many people taking inspiration from favored celebrities.
The quarter sleeves made it easy for indoor activities such as LETTER WRITING. I love that! hahah
Loved this soo much... I kept thinking at the start that the dressing maid looked like De MelkMeid from Vermeer... then at the end it all made sense... Beautiful video, soothing voice and informative.
These videos make me so so happy. I'm very glad I came across this channel. I'll be back to watch this video (As well as the others) many more times while I wait for the next one!! Keep up the amazing work!
As soon as she got the head scarf out, I knew it was that portrait.
I loved the ending so unexpected and very welcomed!!!
This finished look is my favorite of all the historic fashions. Beautifully done with fine fabrics and refined colours and silhouette. Gorgeous!
that's a footwarmer?!! for the longest time my mom used it to put plants on lmao. I'll have to dig that thing up again some time, and use it for its actual purpose :)
*_are you using that right now??_*
You can find them in every second hand store, although many people wouldn't know what they were used for initially.
I use mine to keep knick-knacks in (and until I saw this video, I had no idea they were footwarmers).
Oooooh fancy
I always get so excited when I see these videos!
I am 9YEARS OLD and I am so interested in to HISTORY and this video has so much info in it!!
That's great, keep on learning :)

Yeah. Exactly. I mean, how stupid do you need to be to make such a claim when the video proves otherwise? It's a shame that those comments are on top and yours all the way down.
Beautiful! So precious to see this whole process! In Panama, the "Pollera", the national dress, wears all those layers -because it comes from Spain- with two peticotes, linrn embroidering, valencienne lacing and pearl flowers for the head. Thanks a million!!!

Not hard. Squat over pot. Poop. Wipe bum. Remember, no undies to pull down.

As an artist, this video moved me to tears. Bravo! To all your wonderful models and actors
I love how in the depth the clothing process was back then.
Idk who got the idea to base these GRWMs on famous paintings but it’s genius and they should get a raise
The historical accuracy of these get dressed videos is absolutely amazing. Sometimes I rewatch these videos over and over again because they are so interesting and because I love the narrator’s soothing voice ❤️
Imagine you have to pee😂
Lift up the skirt part
Pampers. 🤔
*_nobody actually wore underwear back then.._*
They didn't really even have underwear or bras back then. Just pop a squat 😂 but if you are wealthy enough just have a maid pull your skirt up for you lol
Just lift up the skirt
An amazing youtuber named Prior Attire actually debunked and revealed that getting ready in such layers would only take 8-20 minutes, and that was _without_ a maid to help
Luna Suburbia But the point is that the wealthy insisted on not having to do it themselves, sis.
@@mai-ph9yo well yea, I'm just subtweeting all the annoying assholes in the comments who talk about how it takes forever.
It may not take hours, but its definitely longer than it takes now. I dont take more than 2 minutes to get dressed.
@@blueturtle3623 well duh, but again, **it doesnt take hours**
also worth pointing out that in those days there was no train to catch or traffic to beat. for many people, anything they need to get or do is pretty much within walking distance; and for many _rich people,_ they could just have a servant fetch the latest Arminian tract from the bookstore or something.

Covid 19 got me watching every getting dressed videos of the past
same here
I live here in Delft and my grandma has a foorwarmer
That was amazing! I was surprised the video was going after they left and I'm so glad it did!
ever consider doing children versions of these videos? i am very interested
Tbh I'm pretty sure the clothing for children didn't vary that much from an adults
For young girls I'd say its safe to assume the stays wouldn't be laced tightly
human__disaster Maybe no stays at all! I hope so..
The stays weren't just for shape but also important for protecting core heat and supporting the body since bras weren't yet a common thing. Children normally had soft wool stays that fitted like a modern no-sleeve wool vest would. In a time when the little ice age was in swing, having good and breathable layers to protect from the cold was vital.
@@Deepingmind thank you so much for this information
@@dancingdreams89 Just glad to be able to share.
What a lovely video! I loved the end part, such a fun surprise!!! Thank you (I want to watch it again. Well done. You turned an 8 minute video into something really interesting and memorable) 🌺
Oh now THAT was classy....love the concept...sweet unexpected ending
I love this channel. Great twist at the end there.
it never occurred to me that people would have worn shoes that were the same left and right. i learn so much from these videos, thank you so much for making them !!!
They did it that way so they could switch them from foot to foot, so they would wear evenly and last longer.
I’m not one for historical ladies fashion, but the narrator’s voice is relaxing, and it all comes together satisfying, and history is interesting, so I shall binge the series for the next hour or 18.
Awesome!! Thank you to everyone involved. Fascinating to watch.
I lost my mind when it got to the end! Such a wonderful twist!
i GOT SHIVERS FROM THE ENDING!! Oh thank you so much for this
