Can I just say, I love how knowledgeable you are on the details of historical garments, makeup, hair, etc. Thank you for sharing this information with us! The ribbon-finish bit inside the hemline is "hem tape", sometimes people call it "bias tape," but I'm not sure what the difference is, I'm still learning. Either way, I really prefer the use of hem tape in dresses and skirts! I never knew the bit about the little rope to hold bra straps in place! I have a garment with those and couldn't figure it out. Ahh! That makes me happy, what a great idea, really.
Great topic. Definitely looking forward to more in this series. It's especially helpful when you show us things like the shoulder pads and lovely vintage hem. I would love more details on how you discover popular labels from a certain era. I'm mostly in to the 30s, 40s, and some 50s, but I'm sure the process is similar for any era.
Love your whole look!!!! Love the earrings and matching pin! Your nails and lipstick are absolutely gorgeous! Also, your hair is beautiful as usual! Can't wait to use these tips! Thanks so much!
Wonderful video of tips and tricks! Most I knew about but ~ I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW ~ didn't know about the trick for the bra straps! 🎉🎉🎉 Geesh, haven't seen sweat guards in ages ~ wonder if they still make them? And KUDOS to YOU for knowing what they are 😉🌟
I do like it, quite helpful. I would like to see more 60's content as well. Perhaps finding 60's vintage? Edit: I have a modern piece that has one of the bra strap fasteners.
Ok. I don't really wear 60s stuff as the cuts don't really tend to suit my body (that's why my 60s looks are always repro and more pinup than authentic). But perhaps I can make a collab video with someone who does one day 🤔
I have a 1970s dress that has a bra strap fastening, though it is a little silky ribbon instead of "rope". It may have been put in by the owner and not the manufacturer though
We have bigger ribs because due to better nutrition, fortified foods, and the push to drink milk, we have denser and better developed bones than women did in the 1950s. Also, juniors clothing is more likely to survive and someone who was an adult in the 1950s could have very well been developing in the 1930s and 1940s when food was either scarce or rationed, restricting full growth
