🌟Turn on subtitles to read about the fashions worn in this video!🌟
Join sewing historian Dr Serena Dyer as she gets dressed in her recreation of genteel Georgian lady's fashions from the 1760s. Starting in her sultana, a loose gown worn for undress in the morning, Serena reveals her stays and shift beneath, before putting on her underpetticoat, pockets, and panniers. Her gown, made from silk taffeta, is a recreation based on gowns in the Snowshill Collection and Leeds Museum. Every item is sewn entirely by hand using historical methods.

I’ve come to the conclusion that mid to late 18th century clothing is the most flattering of styles in history. It looks amazing on everyone!

@akechijubeimitsuhide Год назад

I wish we brought back those pockets into fashion. Even as a visibile thing over a dress or skirt, just have one in every colour :D

@lancecueto2840 Год назад

I believe they've been reanimated in the form of Fanny packs - pouches hanging off the body to hold possessions with a zipper...surprised no one has thought of using 2 of them as figure-enhancing underskirt supports

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

I think if enough of us would wear beautiful, colourful or embroidered pockets people would start envy us with the possibility of carrying all the snacks and looking fabulous while doing so 😂 Recently I was wondering, modern clothes either have miniscule pockets or don't have them at all, bags that are fashionable now barely hold a phone, where I am supposed to hold my stuff?

@AliciaB. Год назад

would love to know more about 17th century fashion. it's such an underrated era !

@rivergalen4020 Год назад

I would love more GRWM but also tutorials on garment construction

@ZiggyWhiskerz 2 месяца назад

I love this!!! It was so calming to watch and you look like one of my fave Disney Princesses come to life: Belle!! ❤❤❤

@theverbind Год назад

I'd love a video on the research behind understanding how to reconstruct a look like this! When you look at extant garments, what do you look for? When you read letters, how to do you read them? How do you build out the underlying understanding to know what might be period? I keep feeling like I have scraps of different eras, but then learn more and more and more, and as a dress historian I would like just to pick your brain about how you examine the historical record to inform your recreations. Gorgeous dress by the way. I love the way it moves and it looks so comfy and cute!

@SibylleLeon Год назад

This is beautiful and almost meditative! I'll point everyone to this video who thinks the gowns in those days were all in one piece xD Also, the yellow really suits you! A very spring-like colour. Would you consider making these (meaning, these kinds of videos) for different periods as well? Such as 1860, or 1890 or 1900? 🥰

@SerenaDyer Год назад

Thank you! ☺️ And absolutely! It was lovely to make so it would be brilliant to make more in this style.

@KenaKitchengs Год назад

Had to watch the whole thing twice because I read the description only after I finished the first time, so I missed the subtitles! Worth the second watch, in any case! Good work

@KenaKitchengs Год назад

And now I'm wondering, was that a LIVE chicken?!

@SerenaDyer Год назад

A very good question!

@zenosAnalytic Год назад

Great Vid! Always love your narration, of course, but this is good too ^v^ ^v^ I especially liked 1)it's defense of panniers(and I never knew they were part of the pockets!), and 2)how it dismisses the myth that you needed a whole staff to dress someone like this, and without even ever bringing it up!

@e.millustration1759 Год назад

I love this format! the music with the info in the subtitles, it's a really nice way to enjoy a getting dressed video

@manicantsettleonausername6789 Год назад

I wrote my MSc thesis on women's pockets and used some of your research during the process! What a lovely video once again

@TheodoraSohHJ Год назад

I would love in-depth tutorials or even just making of vlogs. I plan to make a set myself some day and that would be so helpful. Btw, is this an English gown? I think I saw pleats at the back? Would love a closer look at the details.

@maribelacosta450 7 месяцев назад

I will never complain about dressing for work in the mornings again.

@seamrapt Год назад

I'd like to see your construction (I particularly like seeing how individuals decide to do everything from type of stitches, 'problem' solving...any/all the detail working bits & specific project decisions that may not be in books or patterns) & other periods. Very much enjoying your videos as I have enjoyed your books. Thank you.

@MioHasMoe Год назад

Lovely video! The early to mid 18th century is my favorite.

@emidowdarrow Месяц назад

Thank you 😊

@ellenabshire6778 Год назад

Would love to see a construction video!

@amauryy4417 Год назад

Yes please I'd like the details of the construction of this gorgeous yellow dress , thank you!

@bekabell1 Год назад

You make dressing yourself in this fashion look so easy! Also, your pockets were beautiful! I love that white on white embroidery.

@allangradus1917 Год назад

Love to see pattern drafting as well as construction.

@douglasboyle6544 Год назад

This was so informative, I learned so much even without a single word being spoken!

@BarbaraCowdery 7 месяцев назад

Wow! Amazing! So many layers! Really interesting!

@sulgkoolon3891 Год назад

One thing that drove me crazy when I had first finished my own set of 18th century clothes was the amount of lacing/string everywhere! When I needed to adjust one thing, I'd often accidentally undo a bunch of the knots 🥴

@clairewulfstudio 3 месяца назад

this is an incredible video, thank you so much!

@trishbresolin8212 7 месяцев назад

Lovely 💛

@CaptainStitchyPants Год назад

This was a lovely soothing watch, thank you! More of these for other eras would be great, as would information about how the garments were made. I saw you put some sources in the description, but B&T are in the US and postage is very expensive for heavy fabric. Do you have any UK, or even European, sources to share, given that you're in the UK too?

@chlomo2618 Год назад

Lovely video. I also didn't read the description until after watching the video. Perhaps if you do more videos in this style there could be a note on screen about putting on the captions (and ideally in voiceover too for those of us who multitask and don't see every second of a video)? I'm curious, did you have to drive to the bluebelle woods, or was it walkable? Either way, I like to imagine the expressions of people who saw you along the way.

Would love a video on how you made the gown :)

Beautiful elegance gowns wigs beauty spots dramatic makeup 💄 corsets what not to love 🥰

@dingle1908 6 месяцев назад

I hope you'll forgive a rude question, but how does one use the lavatory while dressed like this? I assume all the layers interfere when trying to take a seat!

@kendrawilcox6626 Год назад

Please do show us how you made this!

@RobertJohnson-fp9jx Год назад

yes or course we want to see how the gown was made.

@leilasimon2057 Год назад

Love it! What's the difference between a banyan and a sultana? X

@MioHasMoe Год назад

A banyan is morning indoor casual wear…like how we would wear robes today. The sultana is similar but usually made of silk with a matching belt. It was a Turkish/ottoman inspired clothing.

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

Serena, I was wondering, which type of stays/corsets would you consider to be the most comfortable to wear? I think regency styles look so comfy, is it right? Short styled ones look to me like modern day sports bra 😂

@MioHasMoe Год назад

I own a few different types of historical corsets. Regency is by far the most comfortable.

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

@@MioHasMoe Oh, so I wasn't wrong! May I ask what do you think about 1830-1840s ones? If you have one, of course. I think I'll try to make myself one to support my spine and I don't know which decade would be best for someone who is used only to semi-soft medical brace (it's kinda like long regency stays but without bust support)

@MioHasMoe Год назад

@@Noel.Chmielowiec In the 1830s and early 40s they wore the regency type of corset but it was curvier in the hips. The mid to late 40s had more of a standard Victorian shape. I recommend the 1830s type for you, because of the length and added straps it will support your entire spine and shoulders. Hope that helps! 🙂

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

@@MioHasMoe Thank you so much! It also seems like less things that I can mess up (ie no busk and I know I will screw up the placement) so it will be easier to make. Good, good 🙂

@cadileigh9948 Год назад

good to reflect that seasons change but their sequence and the wildlife does not despite humans attempts over time to render it obsolete or invent destructive textile manufacturing . Just imagine the woodland ,some of trees began growth back in Georgian time, torn up to burry the eternal polyester garments of these impatient but all too transitory times

@leticiabincoletto8166 Год назад

Wow, how uncomfortable that looks 😁. I understand it's a different era, but still. I think some clothes now is uncomfortable, imagine have to wear that. So many stuff tied up on the waist, my god, jaja. I see why the corset was necessary, otherwise it would be very annoying to the waist. I saw similar clothes on period films, but I had not idea those dresses were actually pieces pined on. Very interesting. I imagine some "lover" caressing someone and pricking himself with all those pins 🤣🤣. Okey perhaps that didn't happen, but okey

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

It's interesting how different we view comfortable clothing. For me it looks quite comfy, definitely more than button up shirt and skinny jeans, and it looks quite light. It's also clothing of fashionable lady, so I think considering what people do for fashion today it's not any different.

@leticiabincoletto8166 Год назад

@@Noel.Chmielowiec I personally like antique clothes. In some time I would have dressed like that because I found it more comfortable too. But I use to wear just yoggins and T shirts 🤣. What I didn't like of that particular outfit was the chest and the coat, looks so tight, and I know that was fashionable at that time. I would prefer to wear peasant clothes I believe. But it's a matter of taste, I admit 😉. The skirt and the pockets look pretty nice, jaja you can put a chicken in there 🤣

@Noel.Chmielowiec Год назад

@@leticiabincoletto8166 Oh, I get it! I personally prefer skirts over leggings but sometimes it looks ridiculous to wear them (like I'm the insane person who will wear midi skirt while gardening, but let's be honest it will be covered in mud in 10 seconds xD). Working women wore those clothes for a reason, and I get it. For me there's nothing looking more comfy than late 18th century working women outfits or victorian wrapper, even the thought of wrapper made from cotton flannel or wool in the winter, or thin cotton or linen day dress in the summer make me happy. I also wear thin wool walking skirt almost everyday. I'll throw some loose blouse or jumper and I'm as comfy as possible and look put together 😊
