Getting Dressed in 1665 Delft 

Poster available here: www.redbubble.com/people/crowseyemerch/works/34040411-girl-with-a-pearl-earring

when she turned out to be the girl with the pearl earring lemme tell you i was SHOOK

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_*"

....OH GOSH!!! Has nobody noticed this detail? The old lady is the milkmaid, ....another painting by the painter Vermeer!. "The Milkmaid" (Vermeer)

Beautiful ending. She is almost identical to portrait.

The second I saw those earrings I was like OMG THEYRE RECREATING THE PAINTING!! you guys are the best!! For an art and history nerd this was pure joy

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.

It blew my mind when she said "indoor activities...such as letter writing"

Imagine being so rich that you don't even put on socks by yourself.

That ending gave me goosebumps! Beautiful production with a stunning conclusion! Please don't ever stop, I adore this channel

You know what I love about this? People actually lived slowly enough to even entertain the idea of dressing like this on a daily basis

Wasn't expecting her to be "The girl with the pearl earing"!!💞

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.

3 biggest unsolved mysteries 3. Time travel 2. The Bermuda triangle 1. The RU-vid algorithm

me: i should probably get some sleep also me: OOO LETS SEE HOW TO PUT ON CLOTHES FROM THE 1600’S

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.

Love how they intertwined historic getting dressed with historic portraits. Would like to see more of these type of videos.

I really love the narrators voice! It's so soft and pleasant to listen to

To everyone saying it would take forever to get dressed: the video is 8 min long and they didn’t speed anything up.

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.

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.

I literally thought to myself “hmmm she looks like the girl with the pearl.... oh yep”

The minute i saw the yellow cloth I was suspicious. The earrings appeared and I was like....ooooh

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.

Boys back then: i saw her ankle SO HOT !

there is just something so satisfying about these videos.

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...

The foot warmer is called a ‘voeten stoof’ in Dutch so “feet-stove” my mum has a few original ones from this era.

I just realized that not only the noblewoman, but also the maid are reference to a Vermeer painting. Incredible details, love it

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.

imagine having to wear this on your period damn

The final shot is chillingly enchanting. She is perfect and has such beautiful eyes.

* Halfway through * Wealthy: woman I have to piss Maid: 😐😑

Is no one gonna talk about the fact that the other woman looks like "the milkmaid" also by Johannes Vermeer?

Shout out to everyone else in the comments also watching this in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. 😆

Covid 19 got me watching every getting dressed videos of the past

Idk who got the idea to base these GRWMs on famous paintings but it’s genius and they should get a raise

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!!

See how much time they have living without internet 😂

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.

I deeply enjoyed this video. The ending was beautiful and quite surprising!

BEST PLOT TWIST EVER! My artists soul is now fulfilled: historical costume AND beautiful art? Amazing.

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!

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.

imagine hooking up with someone, and having to take this off.

This video is a piece of art. You make stunning productions.

Everyone is freaking out over the ending whereas I have just learned I have been reading chemis wrong my entire life.

This finished look is my favorite of all the historic fashions. Beautifully done with fine fabrics and refined colours and silhouette. Gorgeous!

Absolutely stunning and moving work of art!! Brava!!!

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!

I did not expect that twist at the end! I love it. Your channel is truly amazing!

I would love to dress the way they do I find it gorgeous

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) 🌺

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! :)

There’s something so warming about how everything used to be.

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!!!

The ending was amazing I was in shock when I saw that in the ending she was the girl from the painting. Extremely beautiful video.

Bloody hell...it takes a century to get dressed and another century to undress...thank goodness I was born in this century...t-shirt and jeans! 😁

i feel like putting the stockings on first might have been more logical

This film is beautiful 🙂 And the voice of the narratorice is soooo silky and beautiful too. And the last phrase "and today... she is simly known as.......... "The girl.... with a pearl earring" is simply acoustic poetry. Magestic and divine 🙂 I could listen to this endlessly. It's beautifully said and it's somehow healling. Congratulations and huge thanks 😍

Очень красиво!Завораживает!

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"

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!

肌着から、お洋服の着方を拝見でき、大変勉強になりました😊 一つ一つが美しくて癒されました🥰

Excellent! Thank you for sharing that with us.

Indoor activities -- such a letter writing.

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

I love these so much; I can’t really express how I have longed for these sorts of videos since I was a child. Will you please do more?

Great video, thank you! Love Delft!!!

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.

As soon as she got the head scarf out, I knew it was that portrait.

Wonderful video! Beautiful photography.

How weird I’m actually reading Girl with a pearl earring and this popped up😲🤔

10 minutes later. "I have to poop."

Imagine the stress of you were running late for something 😭😂

I love this channel. Thank you, thank you very much for these videos.

Brilliant!

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"

Fun fact, the girl with the pearl earring was said to be a servant to one of the artists patreons.

This documentary was amazing, it allowed us to understand their advantages and challenges... at least a glimpse of the upper class way of life in the Netherlands back them. And the ending, the connection with this famous painting... and the soothing voice of the narrator.

AMAZING!!!

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 live here in Delft and my grandma has a foorwarmer

Beautifuly done! Thanks for the video

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.

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 :)

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.

Ah that was a beautiful ending. One of my favorite paintings ever.

that ending gave me absolute chills! beautiful work!

*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!

The quarter sleeves made it easy for indoor activities such as LETTER WRITING. I love that! hahah

what a lovely video!. thank you.

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

I am 9YEARS OLD and I am so interested in to HISTORY and this video has so much info in it!!

So well done and such a beautiful model - thank you

this is SO COOL! Love it and learned a lot

All these people saying: oH it tOok thEm so loNg to Get dReSsed! Meanwhile it takes them much longer to get ready with all the make up and stuff

Bloody hell if I had to put all that on in the morning I wouldn't bother getting out of bed lol

Great great great video and the ending was simply gorgeus

Amazing, loved the details and the end! 😍😭
