Your dress collections are stunning and you wore all dresses beautifully, with the same elegance and pride you carry the family's name and title. You are stunning. Thank you for sharing your home and everything around your house with your followers.
The third dress, the sheer floral, is definitely the oldest, probably 1930, since the length of dresses dropped soon after that, and the overall look still has a feeling of the late twenties. It's my favorite. The way the side flounces on the skirt move, is magic, and that movement so suits you. Great fun!
I would so suggest investing in the foundation pieces that would have been worn with the clothes- especially Edwardian pieces. They make such a difference with the fit & how it looks!
Although I live a million miles away in Tampa, FL (USA), I just love your videos! So much fun! And I really love how down to earth you are....so special! You are royalty & live in a castle but at the same time it seems like we could just hang out and have loads of fun doing all these things you and I love to do! So cool. I am disabled and just turned 59, but love all the things you like to do. Amazing!! Much Luv for you, family & your channel.
#2 looks so gorgeous with wellies on because it's so classic English country style that I'm always so obsessed with. Though all dresses are absolutely beautiful Julie.xx
Hi Julie, Fi here! Dress No. 5 was amazing (they all were) but 5 was stunning and thank you for sharing the goodies with your followers, the pearls and the necklace you chose to wear were fabulous on you and went well with dress number 5! Another fun video, and again thank you for filming my gifts... You deserve so much more for the pleasure you give to your followers :0) I love Shabby Chic, so Marie Antoinette for me lol Hugs xx P.S. Several mention that they'd like to see the dresses put back as they once were, that would be a great video to watch too, wink wink lol x
Those were thoughtful gifts. I have an old friend from uni who seems to have the special talent of finding gifts that are perfect for the recipient. For my last birthday, she sent an indoor grill, the large scissors used in Korea to cut meat for Korean BBQ as well as her favorite marinade for the meats. I had been watching a ridiculous number of videos about Korean food for a several months prior to that gift arriving, yet never told her about that new interest. I will treasure it as I do all of her so thoughtful gifts. What's particularly funny is that she lives in Hawaii and I live in Texas, but she still knows me better than people who see me far more often. Your gifts for Julie struck me as equally perfect for her. Well done.
WOW those beautiful dresses, Julie! Great finds! Perfect for tea time. Need matching hats for outside! How thoughtful of that viewer to give you the jewelry!
Love your selection of vintage dresses! Beautiful: they suit you! The long string of pearls is PERFECT with your burgundy long-sleeve dress along with the shorter necklace you were already wearing. Stunning! I so want to visit your place when it's safe. Love every "visit" with you!
Great dresses! Having run a consignment shop for 17 years, I love rummaging around for finds from the 1890s-1940s. I try not to pin myself to a certain decade, as I am pretty particular about what I like. The cinematography on this was wonderful, Steven and Claire.
Julie, I’m also a fan of the vintage 1930’s, which started with the classics of the “Thin Man” series with Myrna Loy! I too would enjoy seeing the process and repair of the dresses! 👩🏻🍳☺️
That velvet coat is everything! Wow! Dress number 3 is beautiful. How much fun is that to go shopping? You look great in every dress. The pearls were a great addition to dress number 5.
Can you imagine megan markle having this approach and attitude towards her marriage into the British royalty. If I were her I too would do what exactly what Julie is doing. Dive in and embrace. Life time never ending exploration. It cannot get any better. Thanks Julie!!
Vintage jewelry is so fun!! They are so beautiful! The last is beautiful!! To actually dress in I like the 40’s. I’ve actually done early Tudor as well. My love is vintage jewelry… all ages.
The 5th dress, string of pearls and necklace were my favorite in this dress collection. I'm also a fan of the 1930's. I loved the patterns and colors often used during that decade for women's clothing. Thank you so much for sharing!
My favorite era for clothes is the 1920s I love the flapper dresses. The beads 😱 to die for and the vintage purses and bags are incredible! The only problem I’m a bit thick for any of those. 😕 I love ❤️ to see them though
The dresses are gorgeous. I have my Aunt's dressing gown and nightgown from the 1948 era. The lace is so beautiful. Sadly she was only 24 when she passed away.
What a fun 1930’s little fashion show! The last velvet number with the matching coat is really quite spectacular! If you truly intend to wear these amazing finds, might I suggest getting a pair of nude character shoes or T-strap character shoes, as they are not only fabulous dance shoes with very manageable heel heights, but they have a very strong 1900’s - 1930’s vibe. I think they will look amazing with all of the dresses. If you can splash some cash for a pair in black too, your summer and winter “vintage-looking” shoe wardrobe would be near complete! 🥰 To take it to the next level for the 1930’s, I imagine a very thinly defined eyebrow, mascara on only the upper lashes and a deep red or berry lipstick... oh, and a hairdo that started from pin curls or finger waves to really complete the look! Have so much fun styling and wearing your vintage dresses! 😍🥰😍
Love ❤️ them all. I am a big fan of Downton Abby too. This site is totally cool. You are doing things you love. We can see the joy in your smile. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
I'd say the 1900 - 1920 is my favorite era. Women wore those beautiful White blouses they are just so so beautiful. All of those dresses werd so lovely.
Oh my! It's so hard to decide! I love them all and they can be worn for so many various events!!!! I love your white dress with the ribbon tie and your red velvet coat. For your white dress, you could have the seamstress fix the holes and leave them 'open'!!! I've seen so many people in today's society with the sleeves open in the arm for a decorative look! No 5 is beautiful for a dinner party. No 1 would be nice for a dinner or party or fir a nice afternoon luncheon! Your 3rd dress is splendid for a picnic, shopping day out, a walk around town or on the beach! So many various ways you can wear these and places! Also, you could even wear a long sleeve blouse under done of the sleeveless dresses, etc! So versatile!!!!! I love ALL 3 necklaces together for No 5!!! Love them! And pearls, just go with everything! Casual to dressy! Love all of the looks and accessories! Great finds! I love the 30's, 50's, 60's! I love hats, too!
Love your vintage clothing finds and I also appreciate the glimpse into the tudor part of your home. I also collect vintage jewelry so that was exciting.
I also love the fashions from the 1930s. The dresses were lovely, flowing and floral, so feminine and beautiful! My favorite of the dresses you tried on was also dress # 3. It was gorgeous and so pretty on you Julie. Although all the dresses look wonderful on you. Honestly you could be a model--you're tall and wear your clothes really well. The other dress I loved was the last one with the patterned bodice and velvet skirt. So lovely, especially with the beautiful velvet coat. Really, all the dresses were very nice and you can't go wrong with any of them. Thanks for sharing!
Oh….my favorite area? I love the 40’s and as a teen of the 80’s I still love some of the clothing. I also love the early 60’s cocktail chic. Just too many lovely aspects of those areas that I can honestly say it is too hard for me to choose which one I love more.
Lovely dresses Julie. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you found a couple of trunks lost somewhere in an attic, filled with clothes from that fascinating American lady in the family? Purses and handbags included too, please, Attic Gods!
Out of the 5 shown today, I like #3. However, I think my favorite is the one you wore in the recent video when you were setting the table. I just thought the dress itself was adorable & you looked just amazing in it. Very light & flowing, just like your personality. It suit you very well!
The dresses are beautiful and the jewelry to match. I hope to see them paired with a 1930s hair style. Enjoy your program very much. I love history and have learned quite a bit from you and your family. Thank you.
I am an English teacher across the pond in Illinois, and direct my school’s plays. I love to look for vintage clothing for costumes. I have some lovely pieces from the 40s, including my grandmothers’ wedding dresses, which are tea length - one is dove gray and the other an aquamarine blue. I also have this gorgeous floor length wool coat with fur collar and cuffs. I enjoyed seeing your vintage pieces - dress #3 was my favorite.
Love the gifts. Fi, you were so thoughtful in your selections. Vis Countess, your generous and grateful in the way thanked Fi, you both made my day. This is my favorite video thus far!
I was tickled pink when I saw this video, The necklace Julie put on was beautiful with her velvet dress and I'm so pleased she liked the items I chose for her! :0)
Tudor part of your home!!! Fun! They are all beautiful dresses, but the white dress is my personal favorite. I have had a love of the Edwardian period because of my great grandmother and great grandfather. Grandad met her at a dance for officers before he shipped out to the trenches to fight WW1. The Lost Generation is fascinating but haunting as well.
Oh my Goodness! I Love 30's fashion also 😍. The dresses & floor length coat are Divine. I am a huge Downton Abbey fan & love most all the Downton fashion.
All of the collection is great. Really like dresses 3 and 4 and, wow, dress #5 and the coat are magnificent. You look fabulous in all of them--oh to have a figure like yours! The jewellery is lovely---must have felt like Christmas opening the packages.
My fave era for vintage clothes is the 1980s I'm an 80s baby and I just love all the fashions. Wish I could find 1930s frocks to try as well, they were all so gorgeous on you!
Oooh a tailor made video on the repair process, indeed, would be so interesting! Would sure give the tailor a boost too, and a textile repair lesson is perfect for our season-maybe the gorgeous burgundy velvet will be ready for the upcoming festivities, and then you will have your Spring wardrobe to look forward to! 🤗🙏🤩
For wonderful fashion Inspiration, my favorite decade is the 1940s. My own designs often reflect that silhouette. I have a large collection of antique clothing as well. It centers on the 1860s. I love a hoopskirt!
All of the dresses look great on you! They really suit you well...and the gifts seemed to be perfectly "Juliaesque", lol. So sweet of them! I love finding things from the 20's, 30's and 50's - and I have a beautiful cocktail party dress I love that's a little "newer" that my Mom wore to cocktails and dinner with JFK and Jackie O.
Julie, My favorite era in fashion design: Clothing (wedding gowns), gloves, shoes, belts, hats, hat pins, hair combs, bags, etc., is also, the 1930s. Not only is it my favorite era in clothing design, but in art deco jewelry, silverware/flatware, silver serving trays, tea & coffee pots, sugar & creamer,s furniture, and of course, architecture design as well. The intricate creativity to detail in the 1930s is incomparable to anything since. I am looking forward to seeing your vintage dresses again, once they have been fully repaired. Hopefully, the cranberry velvet dress and coat will be restored by the Christmas holiday. That would be so perfect for caroling on the grounds of your estate or in the village after Christmas Eve Service. I can picture it all now!
I enjoy vintage clothing as well, and have sewn for years. I picked up a book years ago by Citadel Press :Those Glorious Glamour Years classic Hollywood costume design of the 1930’s. It may be enjoyable for you, I enjoy flipping through and reading.
Good tip for wooden dollypegs, over time they open up (spring). This means they don't hold the washing as well, they aldo get dirty with time. Throw the pegs into the sink with washimg up liquid and agitate to clean, rinse and leave to air dry. Holds washing secure again and stops dirty marks , where its been hung. Love your video. D
@@dia9491 Agree. I sew, and if Julie's tailor is amenable, it could be an interesting video to feature an explanation of the approach to repairing a vintage piece including techniques and materials then a demo of how some of it is done. Of course a before and after would be lovely. It could bring in new business for her tailor as many people find lovely vintage pieces but have no idea about repairs. I learned to hand sew as a child and have studied numerous hand and machine sewing techniques and fabrics as a hobby as an adult. I'm looking forward to sewing more in retirement.
Beautiful collection and your figure is perfect for them! I also love the 30s and 20s, 60s and 70s, particularly from London. :) I especially love the #4 tea gown. Also love you in #2. You wear these special clothes in an effortlessly beautiful way. :)
Just want to say how much I love your channel!! Also, I think the coat and the shoes dress are my favorites. I have several outfits my grandmother left me from the 1940's Of course, since the covid lockdown eating binge... They are to tight, but I used to take them out and try on from time to time. Love that era!
I love the laces/trims from the Victorian era and older. I think the Edwardian era is beautiful 😍, an into the 20's. I wonder are there any dresses in the attic that you've found? My favorite of your dresses is the last look. Fun video, wished it was longer! Keep in mind I dont think you could bore us. 🤗
Loved seeing your vintage dresses. I can't wait to see the ones needing repair afterwards. I am a huge fan of the 30's and 40's clothes and hair styles as well. Thanks for sharing!
I really like looking at the details of the rooms you're in.... arched windows, tapestries, carved furniture.. you're living in the real thing... fascinating!
I absolutely love your channel ❤️I'm so happy I found it . I've been binge watching it for over a week now every chance I get . I love the 1920 Era....just love love love the dresses in that time . Your show is brilliant and I've always had a fascination with England and castles, older estates ect.... One day soon I hope to visit. I am so happy to find your RUclips show it brings me so much joy and happiness, thank you for all you and your husband do !!! ❤ 😊😃😉
This was wonderful! I loved the delicate floral “slip dress” as well as the long floral silk dress. You have the perfect figure for these vintage clothes. I’m a bit over 5’11’’ so I fear dresses from this era would be up over my knees, lol! And, I imagine they don’t have much of a hem. I just love your fashion sense! You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on clothes and jewelry to look like a “million bucks”. Thank you! 🌸🌸
I'm 5'10" and have broad shoulders, so vintage dresses simply don't fit me. However, there have been a number of vintage styles redrafted for modern measurements and released as new patterns in recent years. You could find fabric that would work for the vintage styles and have a nice collection made-to-measure. I have made my own garments for years, but I'm so busy that when I commit the time it's typically for a special project that is difficult to find in my size like Julie's vintage velvet dress and coat. I literally have velvet in that color waiting to be made into an evening coat.
These are my favorite era clothes also . Several years ago I learned my Ancestor (10 th Great Grandmother ) was Anne Marbury Hutchinson making me that much more obsessed with English history .
You are so pretty in all of the dresses but I absolutely loved the velvet and over coat. I love the flabber dresses of the 1920's but I have never had one on. 🙂
Loved all your beautiful vintage dresses.The floral dresses were so pretty and that coat! It will be interesting to hear how they have repaired those silk dresses.
How did I miss this video!?! I love Vintage Clothing too!! My favourite Period starts a teeny bit before yours, as I’ve always loved Victorian/Edwardian era clothing, as well as the 20’s & 30’s too. I also adore Art Deco jewelry. There’s just something about the clean lines & designs that makes my heart happy. I also adore & collect Cameos. I always feel like I’m wearing a Portrait when I wear one of them. Now, if there’s one thing I learned from following/being a great admirer of Princess Diana is this : Pearls go w/everything!! 😁. I have pale Pink Pearl Tear Drops hanging from a Silver Bow Earrings that I’ve been known to pair w/everything from a pair of jeans & a sweater to a very formal outfit for a Wedding. IMO they go w/everything, so why not!?! My favourite outfit you showed was w/out a doubt the final one. I LOVE that style!! The fact Empire Waisted Dresses really flatter me too could have something to do w/it. One of my favourite dresses Diana wore was of a similar idea. The top portion was a Creamy White w/cuffs on the sleeves, but the skirt portion was Peach. It would still be in style today come to think of it. Sigh...So many of my Semi Formal Dresses for Jr High School & High School Events were takeoffs of Dresses of hers. Thank Goodness my Mom was a talented Seamstress. 😊 I think I’ve babbled enough & also just got an alert that one of the Channels I follow. She calls her Channel Lady Rebecca Fashions, I think, the Lady Rebecca part is right. Anyway, she makes a lot of Period Clothing. Mostly in the late Victorian/Edwardian eras. She also makes some Cosplay things as well. For instance, she & a bunch of her Friends who also are both Clothing/Costumers & Barbie Collectors, decided to choose a Holiday Barbie & recreate the Gown for a Convention they were all attending close to the Holidays a few years ago. Her gown was gorgeous!!! She’s been on an American Girl Doll Costume kick of late. She just finished one a couple of weeks ago & has started work on another one. Anyway, if you’re interested in any of that, you should check her out. I might have an actual Cosplay Costume that I, my Mom, my late Dad & a Cousin all were working on at one point to get it done in time for a Lord of the Rings Convention I attended in 2006. It’s what’s known as Arwen’s Red Dress &, If I do say so myself, is pretty close to the original. I know the People who ran the Costuming Workshop at that Event were blown away by how close we got to the actual thing. Wish I could wear it more often than just for Halloween, but hopefully I’ll get to another Convention again someday. On that note....I do need to get going. Thanks again for showing off these Dresses. I’d love to see more of your Vintage Wardrobe. Oh!! One last thing...I swear!! Another channel I know you’d love is called Swish Vintage Finds For Your... I can’t remember the rest of the name of the channel, but that much should let you find it. Anyway, it’s a store in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada run by two Ladies who, obviously, sell Vintage Clothing, Jewelry, Bags, Shoes, Etc.... They also how various Vintage looks can be updated to today & I love the ideas they share....And the Clothing. 😁 On that note...I am now DONE!! Aren’t you glad? 😁. Take Care!! 😊
The last dress is gorgeous, I also love vintage dresses from the 30s, but I also like the 40s and 50s.
What lovely gifts! The fashion is so lovely in the early 20th century. I love the 30s, but I also love the early 40s, too. So fabulous, honestly.
Your dress collections are stunning and you wore all dresses beautifully, with the same elegance and pride you carry the family's name and title. You are stunning. Thank you for sharing your home and everything around your house with your followers.
Downton Abbey 1900s-1930s has to be the best. Feminine, yet functional. Love it❣️
Love love love #5! Velvet and linen are my favorite materials to sew and wear! I love the late1800s and the 1920s and 30s.
Gorgeous dresses! I love the 1930's era. Women looked so feminine and elegant.
You are adorable. That family is blessed to have you! It is wonderful that you take such an interest in their heritage.
This was WAY TOO MUCH FUN! The fifth dress is amazing. I would love to see more of these, and also more of the vintage jewelry. Great video.
The third dress, the sheer floral, is definitely the oldest, probably 1930, since the length of dresses dropped soon after that, and the overall look still has a feeling of the late twenties. It's my favorite. The way the side flounces on the skirt move, is magic, and that movement so suits you. Great fun!
I would so suggest investing in the foundation pieces that would have been worn with the clothes- especially Edwardian pieces. They make such a difference with the fit & how it looks!
That last purple/violet dress is to die for. It looks fantastic on you.
Although I live a million miles away in Tampa, FL (USA), I just love your videos! So much fun! And I really love how down to earth you are....so special! You are royalty & live in a castle but at the same time it seems like we could just hang out and have loads of fun doing all these things you and I love to do! So cool. I am disabled and just turned 59, but love all the things you like to do. Amazing!! Much Luv for you, family & your channel.
#2 looks so gorgeous with wellies on because it's so classic English country style that I'm always so obsessed with. Though all dresses are absolutely beautiful Julie.xx
Hi Julie, Fi here!

I love Shabby Chic, so Marie Antoinette for me lol
Hugs xx
P.S. Several mention that they'd like to see the dresses put back as they once were, that would be a great video to watch too, wink wink lol x
How fun the finds were you sent her! Such a kind heart to think of others.
Those were thoughtful gifts. I have an old friend from uni who seems to have the special talent of finding gifts that are perfect for the recipient.

I love those retro fashions. I was watching a y.t. video and this lady was making dresses using vintage (1900-1950) patterns.
Very sweet people send you gifts and share in your love of vintage clothing.
WOW those beautiful dresses, Julie! Great finds! Perfect for tea time. Need matching hats for outside! How thoughtful of that viewer to give you the jewelry!

Loved the dresses. My favorites are 4 and 5 and the beautiful coat. Just gorgeous
Julie,
I’m also a fan of the vintage 1930’s, which started with the classics of the “Thin Man” series with Myrna Loy! I too would enjoy seeing the process and repair of the dresses! 👩🏻🍳☺️
Oh, I love those movies and adore the clothes that Myrna Loy wore. She was so elegant. The men looked so sharp too. My favorite series of movies!
That velvet coat is everything! Wow! Dress number 3 is beautiful. How much fun is that to go shopping? You look great in every dress. The pearls were a great addition to dress number 5.

The dresses are gorgeous. I have my Aunt's dressing gown and nightgown from the 1948 era. The lace is so beautiful. Sadly she was only 24 when she passed away.
Dress #5 looks like something the Duchess of Cambridge would wear (with a slightly shorter hemline) ❤️ This was such a fun video!
I love the 1920's, have always loved the 20s when I was younger and I think, I will never stop loving 1920' fashion.
What a fun 1930’s little fashion show! The last velvet number with the matching coat is really quite spectacular!

Might want to check out American Duchess shoes!
@@RachelMills212 Great suggestion!
That second necklace goes perfectly with that dress!
The last dress is beautiful, i would even wear it today.

Seriously. I don't even have to watch the video to KNOW I like it. You are the sweetest Viscount around!!!!!!!

Lovely dresses Julie. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you found a couple of trunks lost somewhere in an attic, filled with clothes from that fascinating American lady in the family? Purses and handbags included too, please, Attic Gods!
I love the late 1930s dress. It goes really well with wellies.😁
I adore the green floral dress! Just adorable! 💖
I think nearly all velvets in those days were made of silk, gorgeous.
My personal favourite era is the 40’s & 50’s, the silhouettes seem to work perfectly with my body type.
The dresses are so gorgeous! Love them. Vintage is definitely better.
Out of the 5 shown today, I like #3. However, I think my favorite is the one you wore in the recent video when you were setting the table. I just thought the dress itself was adorable & you looked just amazing in it. Very light & flowing, just like your personality. It suit you very well!
That silk dress is gorgeous as is the velvet coat .
The pearls are beautiful with the last dress! Such a wonderful gift. I hope you have got your dresses repaired, the fabric must be so delicate.
I would wear the velvet dress/coat most winter nights. Lovely. The pearls are beautiful. Great job Fey.🙂
The dresses are beautiful and the jewelry to match. I hope to see them paired with a 1930s hair style. Enjoy your program very much. I love history and have learned quite a bit from you and your family. Thank you.
My favourite era is the 1920's, loved the 20's dress in this collection.

They are all beautiful dresses, but the white dress is my personal favorite. I have had a love of the Edwardian period because of my great grandmother and great grandfather. Grandad met her at a dance for officers before he shipped out to the trenches to fight WW1. The Lost Generation is fascinating but haunting as well.
What a great little fashion show. I love the twenties and thirties, but the great Dior dresses of the fifties were fabulous too.
Oh my Goodness!
I Love 30's fashion also 😍. The dresses & floor length coat are Divine.
I am a huge Downton Abbey fan & love most all the Downton fashion.
All of the collection is great. Really like dresses 3 and 4 and, wow, dress #5 and the coat are magnificent.
You look fabulous in all of them--oh to have a figure like yours! The jewellery is lovely---must have felt like Christmas opening the packages.
1930’s my favorite and I LOVE, LOVE the shoes as well! Loved outfit #5! Velvet all the way!
The vintage style is just divine, so beautiful. Looking forward to your Part 2 of your renovation in Tuscany :)
My fave era for vintage clothes is the 1980s I'm an 80s baby and I just love all the fashions. Wish I could find 1930s frocks to try as well, they were all so gorgeous on you!
I love dress 3 as well. They're all beautiful and you have the perfect figure for the 20's and 30's. Love love the coat!
Oooh a tailor made video on the repair process, indeed, would be so interesting! Would sure give the tailor a boost too, and a textile repair lesson is perfect for our season-maybe the gorgeous burgundy velvet will be ready for the upcoming festivities, and then you will have your Spring wardrobe to look forward to! 🤗🙏🤩
Omg! The dresses are gorgeous! You look beautiful in all of them. My sister and I both love the 1930’s too! Love your videos. Blessings! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
For wonderful fashion Inspiration, my favorite decade is the 1940s. My own designs often reflect that silhouette. I have a large collection of antique clothing as well. It centers on the 1860s. I love a hoopskirt!
I love these vintage dresses. I'm very fond of the 50's.
that coat and last dress is so stunning it could have bee made today!!! you look stunning in red velvet.... my fav. outfit the last one.
😍🥰2 of my favorite eras in 1 video!!!! Edwardian and 1930s. Thank you for sharing!!! Everything looks stunning on you!
All of the dresses look great on you! They really suit you well...and the gifts seemed to be perfectly "Juliaesque", lol. So sweet of them! I love finding things from the 20's, 30's and 50's - and I have a beautiful cocktail party dress I love that's a little "newer" that my Mom wore to cocktails and dinner with JFK and Jackie O.
Julie,
My favorite era in fashion design: Clothing (wedding gowns), gloves, shoes, belts, hats, hat pins, hair combs, bags, etc., is also, the 1930s. Not only is it my favorite era in clothing design, but in art deco jewelry, silverware/flatware, silver serving trays, tea & coffee pots, sugar & creamer,s furniture, and of course, architecture design as well. The intricate creativity to detail in the 1930s is incomparable to anything since. I am looking forward to seeing your vintage dresses again, once they have been fully repaired. Hopefully, the cranberry velvet dress and coat will be restored by the Christmas holiday. That would be so perfect for caroling on the grounds of your estate or in the village after Christmas Eve Service. I can picture it all now!
I enjoy vintage clothing as well, and have sewn for years. I picked up a book years ago by Citadel Press :Those Glorious Glamour Years classic Hollywood costume design of the 1930’s. It may be enjoyable for you, I enjoy flipping through and reading.
Good tip for wooden dollypegs, over time they open up (spring). This means they don't hold the washing as well, they aldo get dirty with time. Throw the pegs into the sink with washimg up liquid and agitate to clean, rinse and leave to air dry. Holds washing secure again and stops dirty marks , where its been hung. Love your video.

They all look lovely on you! The one with the jacket is stunning.
I would love to see how they actually repair those dresses….the whole process
I agree. My mom used to be a seamstress and she said silk is extremely difficult to repair. I would love to see how it’s done.
i actually sew on many types of fabric, would love to see the repair. i watch a youtube channel that repairs vintage shoes, amazing what can be done
It depends on the silk and how bad of a shape it is in. I grew up in a Dry Cleaners and my dad could repair almost all.
AS A TAILOR,MYSELF,ITS CHALLENGING-AND HAVING THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
@@dia9491 Agree. I sew, and if Julie's tailor is amenable, it could be an interesting video to feature an explanation of the approach to repairing a vintage piece including techniques and materials then a demo of how some of it is done. Of course a before and after would be lovely. It could bring in new business for her tailor as many people find lovely vintage pieces but have no idea about repairs. I learned to hand sew as a child and have studied numerous hand and machine sewing techniques and fabrics as a hobby as an adult. I'm looking forward to sewing more in retirement.
They can't all be your "favorite". I like the last one the best, looks so great on you with the long coat.
Love the beautiful dresses and the jewelry!👍
My great grandmother made beautiful dresses she was born in elora canada and died in 1900..her dresses were stunning...
My favorite era for fashion
Beautiful collection and your figure is perfect for them! I also love the 30s and 20s, 60s and 70s, particularly from London. :) I especially love the #4 tea gown. Also love you in #2. You wear these special clothes in an effortlessly beautiful way. :)
I like the 5th dress and the long velvet coat
Love hearing the hybrid British / American accent!
Just want to say how much I love your channel!! Also, I think the coat and the shoes dress are my favorites. I have several outfits my grandmother left me from the 1940's
Of course, since the covid lockdown eating binge... They are to tight, but I used to take them out and try on from time to time. Love that era!
I love the laces/trims from the Victorian era and older. I think the Edwardian era is beautiful 😍, an into the 20's. I wonder are there any dresses in the attic that you've found?
My favorite of your dresses is the last look. Fun video, wished it was longer! Keep in mind I dont think you could bore us. 🤗
My spouse got me a 100" string of pearls for my 50th birthday. I love them.
The last dress you showed … love .. love 😍
I love medieval clothing .. all were beautiful
Loved seeing your vintage dresses. I can't wait to see the ones needing repair afterwards.
I am a huge fan of the 30's and 40's clothes and hair styles as well. Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful, everything looks so beautiful on. I especially love your gratitude - it is inspiring.
You look lovely in all the dresses but loved the last one and the coat as strong colours suit you.
I really like looking at the details of the rooms you're in.... arched windows, tapestries, carved furniture.. you're living in the real thing... fascinating!
I absolutely love your channel ❤️I'm so happy I found it . I've been binge watching it for over a week now every chance I get . I love the 1920 Era....just love love love the dresses in that time . Your show is brilliant and I've always had a fascination with England and castles, older estates ect.... One day soon I hope to visit. I am so happy to find your RUclips show it brings me so much joy and happiness, thank you for all you and your husband do !!! ❤ 😊😃😉
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the dressy! That velvet🥰 I l love 18 th century dress!
This was wonderful! I loved the delicate floral “slip dress” as well as the long floral silk dress. You have the perfect figure for these vintage clothes. I’m a bit over 5’11’’ so I fear dresses from this era would be up over my knees, lol! And, I imagine they don’t have much of a hem. I just love your fashion sense! You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on clothes and jewelry to look like a “million bucks”. Thank you! 🌸🌸
I'm 5'10" and have broad shoulders, so vintage dresses simply don't fit me. However, there have been a number of vintage styles redrafted for modern measurements and released as new patterns in recent years. You could find fabric that would work for the vintage styles and have a nice collection made-to-measure. I have made my own garments for years, but I'm so busy that when I commit the time it's typically for a special project that is difficult to find in my size like Julie's vintage velvet dress and coat. I literally have velvet in that color waiting to be made into an evening coat.
Love, love, love the last dress.
These are my favorite era clothes also . Several years ago I learned my Ancestor (10 th Great Grandmother ) was Anne Marbury Hutchinson making me that much more obsessed with English history .
You are so pretty in all of the dresses but I absolutely loved the velvet and over coat. I love the flabber dresses of the 1920's but I have never had one on. 🙂
The velvet coat is wonderful
I love them all, especially 50’s and 60’s and 70’s. Trying to see the Beaty in the 80’s up to now, it’s a struggle. 🌸
Loved all your beautiful vintage dresses.The floral dresses were so pretty and that coat! It will be interesting to hear how they have repaired those silk dresses.
How did I miss this video!?! I love Vintage Clothing too!! My favourite Period starts a teeny bit before yours, as I’ve always loved Victorian/Edwardian era clothing, as well as the 20’s & 30’s too. I also adore Art Deco jewelry. There’s just something about the clean lines & designs that makes my heart happy. I also adore & collect Cameos. I always feel like I’m wearing a Portrait when I wear one of them. Now, if there’s one thing I learned from following/being a great admirer of Princess Diana is this : Pearls go w/everything!! 😁. I have pale Pink Pearl Tear Drops hanging from a Silver Bow Earrings that I’ve been known to pair w/everything from a pair of jeans & a sweater to a very formal outfit for a Wedding. IMO they go w/everything, so why not!?!
My favourite outfit you showed was w/out a doubt the final one. I LOVE that style!! The fact Empire Waisted Dresses really flatter me too could have something to do w/it. One of my favourite dresses Diana wore was of a similar idea. The top portion was a Creamy White w/cuffs on the sleeves, but the skirt portion was Peach. It would still be in style today come to think of it. Sigh...So many of my Semi Formal Dresses for Jr High School & High School Events were takeoffs of Dresses of hers. Thank Goodness my Mom was a talented Seamstress. 😊
I think I’ve babbled enough & also just got an alert that one of the Channels I follow. She calls her Channel Lady Rebecca Fashions, I think, the Lady Rebecca part is right. Anyway, she makes a lot of Period Clothing. Mostly in the late Victorian/Edwardian eras. She also makes some Cosplay things as well. For instance, she & a bunch of her Friends who also are both Clothing/Costumers & Barbie Collectors, decided to choose a Holiday Barbie & recreate the Gown for a Convention they were all attending close to the Holidays a few years ago. Her gown was gorgeous!!! She’s been on an American Girl Doll Costume kick of late. She just finished one a couple of weeks ago & has started work on another one. Anyway, if you’re interested in any of that, you should check her out.
I might have an actual Cosplay Costume that I, my Mom, my late Dad & a Cousin all were working on at one point to get it done in time for a Lord of the Rings Convention I attended in 2006. It’s what’s known as Arwen’s Red Dress &, If I do say so myself, is pretty close to the original. I know the People who ran the Costuming Workshop at that Event were blown away by how close we got to the actual thing. Wish I could wear it more often than just for Halloween, but hopefully I’ll get to another Convention again someday.
On that note....I do need to get going. Thanks again for showing off these Dresses. I’d love to see more of your Vintage Wardrobe. Oh!! One last thing...I swear!! Another channel I know you’d love is called Swish Vintage Finds For Your... I can’t remember the rest of the name of the channel, but that much should let you find it. Anyway, it’s a store in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada run by two Ladies who, obviously, sell Vintage Clothing, Jewelry, Bags, Shoes, Etc.... They also how various Vintage looks can be updated to today & I love the ideas they share....And the Clothing. 😁
On that note...I am now DONE!! Aren’t you glad? 😁. Take Care!! 😊
