- In today's episode, I head to the excellent Judy Ritchie Victorian dress collection that's housed in the Texas Civil War Museum, and enjoy a bit of lunch at vintage diner "Ginger Brown's". There are so many gorgeous dresses in the collection that I didn't get to showcase all of them, but I hope you enjoy the favorites that I've highlighted here.

Thank you for that. All the gowns were so gorgeous. Feels odd to imagine women walking around wearing them and 150 or so years later they are well preserved enough to display.
Clothes made back then were made to be durable unlike modern clothes that tend to fall apart in a week or two.
Never turn down a cinnamon roll. Words to live by.
I think it was a high sacrament in Victorian days. But, funny, none of the clothing shown here seems to show that it made people rather corpulent back in the day.
It is a pity the years have been telling on many of these beautiful dresses. I love Victorian fashions and could wear them every day. They are most gorgeous!
Thank you for the glimpse of a museum and their clothing collection!
That diner in AWESOME! The museum is so interesting! Thank you for sharing!
The diner is so cute and vintage, and the food is amazing. :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I can't believe the fresh condition of the fabrics and the COLORS! Amazing. I saw an antebellum collection in New Orleans and it was shocking how small those people were. The men's Civil War uniforms wouldn't have fit any but a petite woman these days and the women's clothing looked to be for women under 5 feet. It looked like by the late 1800's people had grown some in the Texas collection. But I wish people who show these collections would always stand next to some of the clothing for comparison as to size. I saw a medieval collection of armor and those guys were quite small too. Everyone but Henry VIII, who stood 6'2" or more and towered over the mere mortals of his day. His armor, made well after he got "obese" showed that he wasn't as big in girth as thought and some of his bulk was the clothing in style at the time. I think his armor had a 40" waist, large but not huge. You can find much bigger than that at your typical McDonald's!
That's mostly just survivorship bias. In fashion history, small and pretty things are what's left because of the high cost of fabric and materials. Larger items are readjusted for new silhouettes, and "normal" items are worn until they can no longer be worn. Old dresses and clothes are often made into rags. As materials become cheaper, reuse becomes less common so we see more normal items.
Found something I can do with my fashion baby thank you for this vid didn't know existed. Keep these vids going.
Awww! I love the little kids dresses too! Beautiful clothes. And bold color choices too!
My favorite is the purple dress ❤
Hmmm cinnamon rolls… :-p slurp…..Very pretty, outstanding collection… my favorite is at 5:00 min. the black purple one with red and white flowers and green band...
I can see Scarlett O'Hara in those dresses
Thesse dresses are so beautiful. I'm working on a 19/18 century novel and I've been watching many videos on the era which is probably my most favorite besides the 50s. Thank you for the video it was very helpful and interesting!
Great photography! You really dug into the beautiful details - from the gowns to the cinnamon bun! I love that you showed us your day trip. Bravo!
I wonder if these dresses were inspired by peacocks strutting around. They are beautiful but so showy, and they are meant to be. Great video. I've ever seen any in the cloth.
The dresses were Amazing!!! Thank you!!
I’ve been to a museum before in England where they held Victorian dresses and suits also. They were very short in height back then! Did you notice this also within their clothes?
Which museum was it? I’d love to visit.
Victoria and Albert Museum in London or Museum of Costume (Holds the famous silver tissue dress from the 17th century) in Bath, Wiltshire.
While I love fashion history I sometimes struggle with Victorian fashions (1865-1900 especially) because of the over the top ruffles, fringe, beading, buttons etc. Can you actually imagine wearing such heavy and restrictive clothing 24/7/365? A friend of mine who is a retired and well known clothing history professor said that she’s 100% convinced that Victorian fashions were designed by men to “keep women in their proper place”. I worked at a docent at a living history park for one summer and had to wear 7 petticoats, woolen stockings and a corset under my dress, and this was in 90+ degree weather! I quickly came to thoroughly agree with her.
That is a myth. Back then, as now, women dress to impress other women. The more fabric, the more money you had. Men routinely made fun of how ridiculous the clothing was (reference satirical cartoons).
It sounds like whoever dressed you didn't know what they were doing.
Woolen stockings are for cold weather, you should have been in cotton.
7 petticoats is extreme. No need for more than 3 or 4. In warm weather, they were usually lightweight gauze-like fabric. I suspect you were in petticoats that were of a weight similar to bedsheets.
More dresses please!
Jackie James I plan to go back when they rotate their collection! :)
This dress exhibition is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us :)

Thank you for posting this!
Can you please mention the tune?

I enjoyed going to the museum with you. What part of Texas is the museum in?
It's in Lake Worth, off of 820. I'm not sure if they're currently open due to Covid, but when they reopen they're definitely worth the trip!
How tall do you think the women were who wore these Victorian dresses? Thank you. 😊
Oh man! Getting lost in DFW is 95% of what I did when I visited. I fully get THAT!
i just ate and those rolls made me hungry ahahahaha
I was hungry the entire time I was editing this video. lol Those rolls are truly fantastic.
I love it.. Tq for sharing.. 👍😍😍😍😍😍
I skipped to 2:45 - didn't need to see the lunch.
Thank you that was wonderful.
Amazing treasure in your country! Nice job Hughs from Brasil!!

Why are so many late 19th century gowns at a Civil War Museum? It's like they never gave up the fight.
I'm wondering if this was a special exhibit? I'm fairly new in my knowledge of 1800s fashion. But I am able to recognize that the skirts were the wrong shape. Civil war era would have been round and bell-like, transitioning to elliptical. Bustles were mostly after 1870.
i heard those dresses smell bad. is that true????
I didn’t notice any smell! This museum seems to take good care of their collection. :)
Never turn down coffee cake eaither!!! Lolol
I would like to wear those dresses
The dress are pretty
