I Made The Perfect Murder Dress

A long time ago my dad told me something his grandma told him when he was a wee lad “Bobby, there’s nothing more dangerous than a beautiful woman with a knife”

A certain percentage of people on RU-vid have Wisdom as their dump stat 😁

@@JillBearup verified facts lmao

She knows her subscribers

@@JillBearup I was going to raise my WIS score, but I tried the whole religion thing as a kid and didn't get any cool powers, so I decided to go Bard instead of Cleric and dumped all my points into CHA.

@@JillBearup who needs WIS when you have INT?!

actually in this case it was more like “i need a dress to hide weapons in…” and then buys the dress.

Is that not how everyone buys dresses?

I actually consider that whenever i buy clothes lol when i first found pockets on the inside of my jackets it made me happy so it became a standard now haha

Couldn't be me. . . .

I think that every time..

Leaving the house without a 4” pocket knife is very unamerican.

@@zachlewis9751And very unsafe IN America.

Wisdom. Dump stat.

@@JillBearup too many use this as a dump stat, but don't capitalize on the other stats to make up for it... (charisma will only get you so far before you start rolling nat 1's)

@@JillBearup tell that to parties bumbling through a clue laden hallways seeing nothing but random trash and an exit.

Probably the same people who think their nationality is a safe card to be idiots in other countries? ... I'm not saying the country but I bet you can guess it anyways (?)

A big problem is that if they have $$ they tend to get away with such defense. Sharing a flat with "I'm a RU-vidr" argument is "Affluenza"/"My client is too affluent to have known better" -_-

I mean, England doesn’t have a King so I feel pretty safe 😁 Also SPONSOR so who cares what the monetisation algorithm thinks? Victory is ours!

@@JillBearup Not anymore yes.. what did you do???

Philip wasn't a King he was a Prince. Queen Elizabeth was the 'ruling' monarch so Philip was crowned Prince.

@@TehMomo_ yes, but George VI was.

In any case, the current Queen would just live on.

Why would you carry a weapon to a party? Is it ceramonial?

@@creativehorsequeen Eeeeeeeh, sort of, the point of a Skeab Duh basically started as just the average boot knife, but did eventually became a ceremonial status piece almost, and is generally considered part of the whole Cermonial Kilt get up, and is thusly, the perfect excuse to carry a knife to a party

@@magoshighlands4074 I like this a lot. Scotland sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe I'll come visit someday.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊💙

Yeah, props for re-adopting the medieval habit of carrying an knife to parties for eating exclusively as an excuse to just have a knife and make the English uncomfortable about the armed Northern Barbarians in the kilts.

I knew a girl who fenced in an elizabethan gown. it didn't take much modification to make it properly protective.

But it might be a bit harder to move amd jump and be agile.

​@@crowleycornix1569 at least the common styles of courtly fencing in England France and Spain revolved primarily around advance and retreat. You NEVER jump in a Duel with a sword almost irrespective of style. losing contact with the ground with both feet is almost instant death. you cannot change position in the air, control your speed, or even deliver a decent penetrating strike(no leverage) you give a free shot at a predictable target if both feet leave the ground. and an experienced fighter only needs a 10th of a second to take advantage of. not even if someone is going to take you out at the knee. retreat, deflect, parry, or even step into the blade (to rob power from the strike if you have decent protection) don't jump. if you do clear it they can shoulder tackle you and finish you assuming they cannot recover the blade fast enough to skewer you in the air. In courtly fencing (like with a rapier.) parry, Riposte, and deflection are all more valued than dodging. even in a fairly restrictive outfit you could participate in a conventional fencing duel. and an elizibathen gown would not restrict your feet very much at all. with some minor modification removing restrictions on the arms and feet that are there would not be hard.

@@scorpioneldar Oh, i didn't know, in that case a big poofy gown won't get in the way.

@@scorpioneldar ''even deliver a decent penetrating strike'' Oh, I don't know about that. Let's imagine for a moment that you're standing on something and jump down towards your opponent. I'd imagine gravity would give your weapon quite a momentum. Althought in most cases the other person would likely see it coming.

Sounds like a sensibly made garment. Unless you have too many pockets to know which one you put an item in and they can sustain enough combined weight to require a 2" belt plus suspenders... It still has room for more pockets imo.

Hmmm.... How interesting... *Discreetly looks at amazon*

@@SonsOfLorgar funny you should mention that, when I was studying the period dress of the commoners in the westward expansion (I can't remember why I was studying it nor for what reason i think I was trying to prove a point about how stupid modern women's fashion was to my fellow men) I remarked "you could fit batman's toolbelt and the kitchen sink under that!" Years later when doing exoskeleton stuff I realized that due to the shape of women's hips, and with the correct rigid supports, it's much easier for women to carry things around their hips than for men. This led to the redesign of some straps on an exoskeleton, weight redistribution, and an alternate battery arrangement. The result was MUCH better in terms of ergonomics.

@@inventor121 now that's how to do pockets, build a powered exoskeleton to support *more of them and bigger ones* I recall one time during conscript training when I arrived in the mess hall and dropped the jaws of my squad mates by pulling out a 0.8L (internal vol) steel thermos flask and a D3 maglite from the same uniform chest pocket... it barely showed on the jacket. Similiarly, a few years later, same uniform system, on a militia exercise, I couldn't find my smart phone I knew I had put in one of the jacket chest pockets. I had a platoon mate call me, and found it as my phone buzzed... turned out, those front pockets has no real pocket seams, they are only defined by the seams for the inner lining waist chord channel, the side seams joining the front and back, the seams around the sleeves and the shoulder seam... My phone had lodged itself in the part of the pocket that extended up over my left collar bone...

Yep exactly, that's the reason I started arching one of my character does it so I have to represent it correctly

For the Loves and Money..

Does for science count?

Honestly, I write and @Jill_Bearup really does give me many points to consider, which is why I subscribed. The videos being hella entertaining is just a bonus.

How do I double like this? Also I'm screenshotting it.

its such a good trope tho heheh

*romance trope not exclusive to YA genres. you see it in adult romance fiction all the time. and quite often in popular media where the protagonist has a romantic subplot with their antagonist.

@@piisfun probably because of Shad

@@Xiph1980 legal eagle could use this material to explain how Jill has covered herself. Could make it an interesting collaboration.

A teacher once said "just tell them it's art!"

Well bombs and guns maybe legal in the us but due to laws that in some cases that are older than the United States itself large knives, swords, switch blades and butterfly knives are not legal to carry in hand full of states including traditionally pro gun states.

@@jasonirwin4631 it really baffled me on my visit to the states when police asked to see my folding pocket knife (i was sharpening a pencil) and there were guys casually walking around with automatic rifles entirely ignored by the police. Guess I know why now.

@@jasonirwin4631 that's weird

@@jasonirwin4631 Bombs aren't entirely legal You can own a "bomb" but each one has to be registered with the federal government

@@inventor121 walking around in public openly carrying longrifles is very unusual in the US, and almost always done as a political statement by guns rights activists. you usually won't see a long rifle except in the gun rack of someone's truck during hunting season. more common is carrying a concealed handgun under a jacket or in their car, which you won't see. pocket knives are totally normal. unlike with US gun culture, people don't carry pocket knives for "self defense". it's pretty much purely for utility, and those knives actually get used for that purpose.

And for those wondering why, it has to do with the character sort of having wedding motifs, as well as an exaggerated reference to minoan clothing. Also, thanks for the heart jill!

One of those old fashioned dresses with the bulbous rears, where it's actually a large ammunition drum?

@@Ahrpigi I was thinking more like a big gypsy wedding dress, large all around, since she also does some running and charging at the enemies.

So, like, huge crinoline/hoopskirt

@@scouttyra yea, pretty much.

Ball-stabbing is, indeed, a source of fear amongst many royals.

Are you sure that was supposed to be "at" and not "in"?

@@Thermalions help

I always thought it was weird how in Canada and the UK you had to find some sort of not-self-defence reason that you'd be carrying a self-defence weapon.Does the UK just not have any bad neighbourhoods someone might have to walk through where it would be reasonable to have a weapon to ward off being jumped? Like in most situations if someone comes at you with knife, brandishing your knife is enough to get them to back down.Because it isn't worth it to get into a knife fight to steal someone's wallet.

Well, it's a letter opener, so the fair use reason would be going to the post office.

​@@Strawberry92fs UK law (can't speak to Canada) basically makes carrying any weapons a crime, and no, we don't really have any parts of the country where the streets aren't safe enough to walk. There is street crime (muggings random assaults) but they're very few and far between ('muggings' - which is what we would call those sorts of theft from a person are about 20,000 in a country of 65 million people) and a similar number of assaults with knives. Even dismissing the fact that only some of these will be randomly directed you're still looking at 1 in 3,000 chance for an individual in any given year. Carrying a weapon can also be seen as pre-meditation in any more serious crimes like if you kill someone with a weapon there would be an assumption that it's a case of murder rather than manslaughter (i.e. 1st rather than 3rd degree murder in US parlance). There's just a very different culture when it comes to weapons in the UK. And without wanting to get into the morality of self-defence for an individual on a national statistical level it does lead to way fewer deaths to treat weapons this way rather than the way the US does.

@@Strawberry92fs I'm Canadian and I've never had to justify carrying a knife, tbh though I only carry a folding knife under 3.5 inches tucked into my pocket.

@blackbeltbarrister did a whole video (or 2) on self defence weapons and knives

Right? And, one of the other commenters is seriously a friend of a friend from half way around the world.

This also made me very happy.

OW. 😬

Yikes

Bruh. That poor woman. Hope that guy ended up arrested :/

@@Scarleto No clue, this was back in the 90s, and was in a different encampment from the guild I was in.

Having also worked the Faire circuit, I'm going to call "urban legend" on that one. I've heard a lot of stories about random drunk people grabbing daggers/swords/etc from other people and cutting up the owner and/or themselves, but they always happened around someone's friend who used to work there years ago or their mother's cousin's former roommate. It never seemed to happen any time I, or anyone I know, was actually there.

you know it's 2021 when "it's cursed" doesn't matter after 2020, no one will notice

@@jeffhousen8968 If it's not biblical level, it's not worth a spot on the bingo card.

Pretty sure you could hide a small cannon in one of those dresses...

Especially for massive skirts with a crinoline like the wedding dress in Enchanted. You could definitely strap a small armory inside of that.

"But... But where did they... Where did they hide the _trebuchet_ ?"

@@Rebecca_Violet That's what I wanted to do for one of my characters, only with miniguns since the setting is more sci-fi fantasy.

@@DeltaOdyssey I read that as sci-fancy for some reason XD So Sergeant Calhoun from Wreck it Ralph?

@@Rebecca_Violet well, the miniguns are attached to the hoop skirt, and actually come out through openings on the gown. The gown is also pretty big, somewhat bigger than a few gypsy wedding dresses, and has armor with a scale-pattern, and a design similar to peacock tail feathers. She sort of has a bridal motif, but she is also related to minoan culture, since her species, the venusian minotaurs, have bull horns and bovine legs, as well as earth manipulation, but are mostly human-like otherwise.

Oh ebay?

Noooooo Im sure Jill would never do THAT.

@@gateauxq4604 oh sure, and I'm the Queen of Alderaan.

@@gateauxq4604 yeah right, and I’m completely sane

Yes :D I mean... I tinker hidden weapons for my LARP-character. And even if I am obviously unarmed. There is at least one brass gear, a dagger and a single-shot flintlock pistol hidden somewhere. And god have mercy If you confront me in my laboratory...

‘This type of weirdo’ is just ‘super passionate nerd happy to share their knowledge with others’ and it is delightful.

@@AinsleySunny Live Action Role Play, look it up...

Yes!!!!! I hope so too!!! Bernadette is aware of this channel too cus she commented on the “can you fight on a corset?” video💙

So many strange and wonderfully nerdy things could result from this.

That would be soooo much fun. Please make it happen!

If either of the mentioned parties are seeing this: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, YOU KNOW we'd absolutely love that.

They both live in the UK now too...

I recommend a ceramic knife. Downside is, they can't be sharpened again, once dulled. But they cut like a scalpel, when new.

Wood? Antler? I feel like I've seen ebony knives mentioned somewhere.

Also, bone (possibly whalebone or ivory) should do, at least against bare skin (such as throat). Not sure about clothing, though - especially corsets are gonna be tough. On the other hand, if you're allowed a metal corset or something, you can probably hide a metal knife too. Underneath it, if necessary, so it'd stay hidden even if you'd got x-rayed (which could be possible in certain settings e.g. before the discovery of radiation health hazards).

Glass is good too if you use a short thick centered blade and if you must get rid of it, it can be broken up and ground into dust then disposed up discretely

Ooh! For a winter ball, ice knife. I'm sure I've read a locked room mystery where the answer to, "Where is the murder weapon?" was "It was an icicle. It melted."

Just get a red dress! Problem solved!

Or a black one!! the stain wont be that visible 💁‍♀️

@@devikaspanicker5189 Great minds think alike!

Pretty sure I'D be wearing the Panic Pants. Because PANIC!😂🤣

To be robed or to be robbed that is the question. 🤔🤔🤔

"Won't be *robed* any time soon". That's a hell of a typo... ;)

You have made many good POINTS.

You could always do the 1950s new look thing, I think you could get a decent sized blade hidden in one of those Dior skirts.

Do it now so that it’s ready when you need it!

Absolutely! As a woman who isn’t particularly well endowed, it would be rather difficult for me to hide a dagger in a bodice, especially a more fitted one, but I could probably get away with a thigh dagger

@@christinegallo4983 Unless you’re wearing a support garment that usually has a wooden busk at the centre front, in which case you could stick a blade down the busk pocket. You might want to reinforce the busk pocket to function as a sheath, but that should be doable.

@@ragnkja I see where you’re going with that, but the likelihood of my wearing something with a busk is rather low, and either way there would still be an obvious ridge unless the fabric over it was very loose, thick, or otherwise voluminous

@@christinegallo4983 Especially at the handle of the busk blade.

hmm ... the right dagger could maybe be hidden on the underside of the arm if you wear those fingerless gloves goths often use?

@@bullzebub Or crocheted fingerless Regency mitts.

In my practical experience, usually the guy with the knife gets a beating...and then I go for stitches....BUT sometimes I have NOT been cut. I read Bruce Lee (before I ever heard of Salvatore) And when asked what the first thing to do if your enemy has a knife he said, like you, expect to get cut. When you accept it as a foregone conclusion, that helps you ignore the anxiety and fear...and the wishing it weren't so . Thus you can focus on minimizing the damage (scars on forearms instead of torso). You think to mount attacks instead of just being defensive...and sometimes you can even escape unscathed. (But don't count on it.)

I think a war fan is also a thing in some martial arts, so fan weapons would be something worth exploring.

@@classicslover will it be awfully rude to ask what circumstances of your life lead you to being constantly attacked with knives? Since it sounds like warzone or something

i'm just imagining a corset where each of the bones is actually a small, sharpened blade now

Well if you use the knife as the busk that would be ideal. Because if you remove it to fight you’ve also removed the busk which will greatly improve your range of motion

I’d reinforce the busk pocket to function as a sheath.

The 6 dislikes now are just misclicks.

If the likes/dislikes ratio was hidden, I'd be suspicious of her channel's authenticity.
