60 years of Victorian fashions 

Your maid is wearing the same outfit the entire time. I wonder how servant clothes/uniforms changed during those six decades.

For all new people tuning in, before asking your questions, here is a general PSA for your ease and guidance: 1) She can easily go to the bathroom. Crotch-less knickers were worn, so she just needs to lift up the skirts and do the thing. 2) Corsets are not painful, unlike contrary belief. They are made of cording, reed, whalebone and very light steel bones. They only hurt when they are tight laced. A very, very few amount of people did that, and it was very frowned upon. Corsets are excellent back support, and support your assets very well. 3) These outfits are generally for colder weather. A lot less amount of layers would be worn in hotter weather. Plus, they are all breathable fabrics. Please remember that they were worn in England during Little Ice Age, before Global Warming, so the world used to be a lot colder than nowadays. 4) It is very easy to sit/walk/move in crinolines and bustles. They are all collapsible and made of light steel wires, so they are not a hindrance at all. 5) It takes only 7 to 8 minutes to get dressed completely. Many people take more than 15 minutes to put on makeup and do their hair. So it is not a very time consuming process. All these points are explained in details by Isabelle aka Priorattire herself in her other videos, so go check them out. This is an awesome channel, and most of the videos are very informative, you won't be disappointed.

I just realized, those dresses would REALLY help with social distancing! 😂

i think the "it takes 2 hours to dress up!!!" comes from the fact that if you do your hair very well it does take 2 hours but that's mainly consumed by doing the hair. i think empress elizabeth of austria would have 5 people spend 2 hours doing her hair every morning? the clothes themselves don't take that long

That 1890's dress was so totally unexpected. it kinda shows that the fashion of the time wasn't a momolith and there really was a pretty wide variation between individuals. I totally love the sleeves!

Can you imagine the shell shock of someone who was middle-aged in the 1880s or 1890s living to see the 1920s flapper fashion in style for their grandchildren?

I know poorer people's clothes might not be all that fashoinable but is there a chance you might make a video showing what those with different incomes would wear? It'd be interesting to see the clothes of those who barely made a living.

Watching the styles gradually change and grow and shrink into what I know was very intriguing. The skirt volume decreasing was hilarious

Meanwhile, the poor maid kept the same style for the entire 60 years :-)

The dresses from the past were beautiful in my opinion

Who has this in their recommendations in July 2020? I don’t regret watching this.

The 1890's is to die for! 😍 Honestly though, this video is insanely accurate! I wish those "100 years of" videos were as accurate as this!

I will always wonder how our great, great, great grandmothers dealt with periods, toilets, nursing and just plain living in these. Much respect ❤️

0:38 1838 1:00 1842 1:34 1857 2:27 1865 3:29 1872 4:31 1874 5:35 1877 6:18 1880 6:50 1883 7:20 1890 7:48 1893 8:27 1898

I like the 1870's-1880's style, with the form-fitting jacket bodice that flared over the hips and had belled sleeves , overskirts collected in an apron style to reveal a flounced understkirt, the bustle at the back of the skirts where the material was gathered in accented ruffles, pleats, bows and drapes and the front of the skirt was narrower. And the equestrian-styled mini-top hat for women, sometimes with an attached veil, pinned to a curly updo. I think it was very classy--almost chic--like a woman's business suit with extra accents, laces, silks and draped fabrics.

I love this fashion more then sweaters and sweatpants. I would wear this every single day of my life

I totally wish this fashion would come back...

1872 is my favorite. Beautiful silhouette and fabrics feel so luxurious.

1:43 I want that crinoline because I swear-- no hoop skirt today has the same exact round shape as that.

I want someone someday to make this kind of video, but then after going through all of the 1700s, 1800s etc, to then continue to the 1900s, go through all of modern fashion in detail all the way up till current year. That would be so satisfying.

i love how that super elaborate dress is just for lounging in the house meanwhile my housewear is just pajama shirts and the most comfortable shorts i can find

The amount of layers. I could never.

I wish more people would enjoy this style. It's beautiful.

I would like to know, how poorer people dressed.. an were the style changes the same? I mean like shapes and patterns and so on.. How did people dress who could not effort material like silk and all the colours?

i like how this is coming up in everyones recommended almost the exact same time three years later.

8:45 was my favorite as I love late 1890s/early 1900s fashion and just the whole time in general

2:27 my favorite dress i just love the colors and how it looks

I am SO jealous that she got to try on all those beautiful Victorian dresses! XD The 1850’s-60’s are my favorite styles. :3

Part of me kinda wishes people still dressed like this

no one: not one soul: not the dress: youtube: lets recommend this after two years and let every one comment two years later too

All of the dresses were gorgeous but my absolute favorite is definetly the one from 1865 at 3:06 !! I love the color and the shape of the skirt! And the black lace (im not sure how its called exactly) on the top part of the dress together with the gloves is just so beautifull! I cant understand why fashion went from these elagant and highquality beautiful dresses from natural fabrics to poliester crop tops and jeans that go way too high up the waist. Its just my opinion but fashion now adays is horrendous compared to the fashion from a long period of alteast a few centuries. I just wish these clothes could be more accessible nowadays.

1830s: Baby Dolls 1840s: Baroque Ladies 1850s: Old Wives 1860s: Young Mothers 1870s: Marie Antoinettes 1880s: Strong, Independent Women 1890s: Teachers That's what I see when I look at them

Round of applause for the dress helper👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love this video!

I love how women unapologetically took up space with their clothing. Nowadays we're made to feel as though we should be as small as possible and take up as little space as possible. Although a crinoline must have been rather impractical!

0:09 - 1838 1:00 - 1842 1:35 - 1857 2:28 - 1865 3:29 - 1872 4:32 - 1874 5:36 - 1877 6:19 - 1880 6:50 - 1883 7:20 - 1890 7:50 - 1893 8:27 - 1898 :)

Let’s just say I’m happy with the simple tee shirt and shorts

Imagine a hot day and all those layers

You can tell that over time there became less layers and more form fitted clothing instead of over exaggerated curves, love it but kinda wanna bring all these looks back

bruh imagine the feeling of having to itch-

I'm always fascinated with that kind of dresses. So lovely! I wish it's still seen in our time.

Anytime I hear another girl complaining about how complex some of the prom and wedding dresses are, I'm showing them this video.

Imagine going to a party drinking a lot of cocktails and then when you come home having to take of all that off, OMG I would give up and sleep in the dress hahahaha

I don't know why I'm whatching this, these dresses are just beautiful

These are all so beautiful!!! Honestly wish I could experience those old days. ❤❤❤❤❤

No wonder cindrella lost her shoe running from the ball. With all those layers I'm not sure if I'd have been able to even keep my legs. Anyway I loved every fashion. They are all lovely.

This is real social distancing....wearing those huge skirts, they had no option but to stay 2 meters apart

8:04 I think this look without the jacket feels the most contemporary

Several instances in this video her ankles are exposed! I had a case of the vapors for well over an hour.

Fabulous. Did you ever make a mourning attire video? There were so many rules about it, and the duration of each stage... it might be interesting.

I have always loved Victorian costume- specifically the 1850s-1860s!!

She wears the dresses and everything so well... It's weird to see her in normal present day clothes.. I love this channel.

I wish women still wore these kinds of dresses today... so insanely pretty

Anyone else have original characters that “lived” in an ~alternate timeline that runs parallel to this one~ so you’re watching all these years flash through like: “1880 - that’s the year they were born” “1890 - they were 10 years old in that year” “1893 - 13” “1898 - 18” Or is it just me?

I really love the fashion of the victorian era in general, especially from the mid-century up to the early 1870s with the crinoline and the crinolette cages ❤

I love these Victorian dresses so much! We had a librarian in elementary school who would show up in Victorian outfits like these for story times, and I remember thinking they were all so gorgeous until I found out about corsets, but honestly they don’t seem uncomfortable if you wear them right. Sounds very… Unique.

2:54 my favorite 1865

The white lace inside bonnet was another hat. I feel enlightened

1872 is my favorite. It’s amazing how far backwards we’ve fallen.

I’d be thrilled to own any of these outfits. Each and every one of them is stunningly beautiful but the latter ones are my ultimate favourites. I should put owning one of the gowns from Prior Attire in my bucket list. Izabela is such a pretty young lady though that I’m sure she could wear sackcloth and ashes and still look gorgeous.

It’s so interesting to watch the changes as it got closer to the Edwardian era

Imagine proudly walking with jeans and shirt around this time. The faces people will make 😂👌🏻

The 1898 Spring Walking Dress is my favorite silhouette of all those that wete featured.

3:17 Ball gown - favourite. :) That wide V neckline is just lovely.

I wish I could wear things like this everyday, I certainly plan to. ^^ I always found it very inspiring

My favorite 1865 red dress is beautiful 👌

This is super helpful. I'm working on a Tarzan and Jane cosplay, and since the cartoon dress isn't very detailed, getting a better understanding of the correct decade is helping me fill in those gaps.

So incredibly elegant and stunning. Fashion back then was gorgeous

*women of 1800s shows ankles* dudes of 1800s: "DAAAAAYYYUUUMMMM!"

그러고보면 한복이 참 편하면서도 예쁘구나 싶네..

Im going to buy or make one of these dresses and wear it everyday. I don't care if you think I'm crazy

i've looked at so much fashion history lately that i said 'oh fuck yeah 1857 is when it really pops off' out loud

I kinda wish we still dressed like this. Even thought it would be super inconvenient it would look really nice. Also it probably wasn’t as hot as it is now a days

O tédio da quarentena me fez ver esses vídeos kkkkk

Beautiful gowns! I’m most fond of the 1830’s and 40’s. Thanks so much.

That dress at 4:20 is amazing

[looks at tea dress "perfect for lounging"] [looks down at pyjamas] Welp.

Как же это было красиво, но как неудобно

7:37 Any time I hear this song i instantly think of Disney's AristoCats!!

I would love to see your husband doing a version of this with male fashion! I know it wasn't as colorful or drastic but I think it would be a greate reference for people like me (artists) who want to be accurate in their depictions!

You know Britain should make a day in the year where everyone dresses in old fashioned clothing and go out to have family reunions or something...and make the city decorations old themed too!!!

I wish to dress like this 24/7

1872 is by far my favorite. So gorgeous!

I personally love the 1880’s dress versions. I would love if those dresses came back into style, especially the ball gowns. So pretty!

저 여성분이 명화 속에 나올 법한 미모라 더더욱 드레스가 아름다워보이네요. 공원, 길거리, 무도회장 이런 배경으로 찍었음 그림인 줄 알았을거 같아요.

The sheer number of layers makes my peri- menopausal self sweat just looking at them. Imagine being in that green woollen winter get up and having a hot flush...you would pass out before you could get your coat off !!

This 18's gowns and dresses actually look really cute and really formal looking.

Loved the spring walking suit and the puff sleeves on that winter ensemble

I love the 1870s and 1880s. Big bustles and frilly dresses all the way!

i like these dresses especially the one that you wear on 1860/1865

I would love to see Karolina Zebrowska react to this

The 1870’s were a delightful style.

Why are all the comments from like two hours ago? This came out 2 years ago.......

I want to wear them all 💜💜💜

I don't know what it is about these videos, but they're absolutely delightful in every way

Lavar la ropa en esa época debía ser una tortura...

1893年は絶対迷走期だったと思うw あとメイドさんのデザインが何十年、何百年も変わらないのかと思うと、切なくなる…。

imagine having to wear that on a hot sunny day... *id still wear it though*

I enjoy the 1850's and 1860's particularly in regards to big hoop crinoline- before it took on a more oval shape and busts came into fashion.

2:27 1865 my fav fashion 😍

No sé ustedes pero yo literalmente amo la ropa de esa época, la ropa era algo incómoda pero aún así siento que valía la pena por los colores y la textura que llevan. 😳❤️
