Thank you for posting this. I’ve always loved the Edwardian look, and am old enough to remember survivors from the Edwardian generation - indeed I still have some Edwardian garments I inherited. They certainly take a lot of caring for. However here in England our pronunciation of the word corset is different - you are putting the emphasis on the last syllable - cor SET, here in England the emphasis is on the first syllable, and sounds rather more like CORE - sit. My grandmother (Born 1894) worked in a ladies underwear shop in the 1950s through to the 70s. It was very old fashioned even then, but the garments were so beautiful- often in silk and in pastel colours and lace edged - and it was always a fantastic place to visit, with everything beautifully laid out in wooden drawers in glass fronted cabinets. Some of the corsets looked armour plated though. Even I remember the suspenders they had attached to them ( and how uncomfortable they were to wear, especially when you inadvertently sat on one). The clothes look so glamorous in old photos, and so feminine. However considering how little plumbing was about in those days, (many houses still had outside toilets unconnected to any mains, so that the night soil man had to come and empty out by hand each week, putting the sewage on his cart to be spread over the fields) and that generally things were only washed once a week, hygiene clearly wasn’t quite as good as today. Nor were fabrics as good, or colours as stable as today - a red hanky inadvertently caught up in the wash tub could spell ruin for everything else. I remember my mother telling me about a pretty blue party dress she was bought. After its first wearing, her mother washed it carefully by hand, and pegged it on the line - and the pair stood back only to see it disintegrate in the breeze, the little filaments of flossed cotton just rolling off it and flying away. At least our clothiers are more robust and certainly easier to wash.
I'm in the process of drawing a picture of Marie Studholme. In the photo, she prominently displays a fan that is plain white, but thanks to you, that's not how I'm gonna draw it. Thanks again. BTW, After watching about a dozen videos about Edwardian fashion, hands down, this was the most informative. You got a new subscriber.
¡Bienvenida! Traté de ser lo más minucioso que pude para mis espectadores que necesitaran ser históricamente precisos al vestirse al estilo Eduardiano. Gracias por su suscripción y por estar aquí conmigo. ❤Me alegro que te haya gustado el video!🥰
I don't know if you mean for something else like the gibson girl because I haven't finished the video however ''Edwardian fashion' lasts from 1901 to 1910 with Kind Edward V11 death. You can usually count edwardian up until 1914 with the start of the first world war since after that, fashion, politics, economy changed dramatically after that. However 1837-1901 is The victorian era so victorian fashion. I apoligise if you emant soemthing different but I hope you have an amazing day/evening/night :)
Of course I did. Obviously Edwardian fashion took place in the late 19th century not the 20th. It's normal to make speaking errors and this was one of them.
I am a recent historical seamstress and love to wear what I create! I love to wear my white shirtwaist and walking skirt! I have worn my garments out shopping on a normal day many times. :) I love Edwardian fashion so so much! I would love to sew many of Megan Follows costumes on Anne of Green Gables . Who doesn't love Anne's Sailor suit/dress?!? Oh my.....that is my dream outfit. @@RaquelCruz
I walk you through the “checklist” to achieve a look with the fewest garments possible (and what those garments should look like). If a list is needed, simply pause the video at the black place cards and write them down to create one. Better yet, you have given me the idea. I will put a checklist together, and I’ll drop it into the description box for those of you who don’t want to watch the entire video. Thank you

Awesome! I'd love to see it when you're done.
@@RaquelCruz OK. But you'll have to be patient. It took all day to build Rome, but my pictures usually take a week or two.
I have alot of patience. I look forward to it.
wow What a complete video! Thank you so much for all the little details and also the references.

I hope with all my heart you meant 1889 and not 1989, because 1989.
Of course I did. Obviously Edwardian fashion took place in the late 19th century not the 20th. It's normal to make speaking errors and this was one of them.
you have an error in your dates for the error. you say and have type on screen that says 1989 when it was 1889.
Ah! Thank you for catching it.
Hey Raquel! I started uploading again 😁

Me three. My favorite.
Interesting but doesn't tell us how to achieve the look with the fewest garments. At all.
