It's insane how many languages have similar sounding words and borrowed words and shared words without knowing it.

@gooseazul Год назад

I love this look on other people. But I could never wear it daily. Can you imagine cutting the grass in a corset? Or weeding? I can't imagine riding a bicycle in long skirts, although I know women did. These dresses are beautiful because of the foundational garments and women today are expected to do for ourselves. Skirts and corsets don't work when you need to be able to sweat and use a full range of motion. These fashions sharply declined as women needed physical freedom working outside the home. Dressing like this is beautiful, but would be so much work. I do like dressing up and wear long dresses on the dance floor. But for daily use? If I'm expected to work as hard as the men around me and be fully self sufficient, I'll not have my clothes limit me.

That would actually make a great beginning to a time travel fiction book. The lady is wearing a period dress like this and perhaps she looks at herself in a vintage mirror and suddenly she is transported back to that period in time.

The odd thing about this to me is that my brain seems to have automatically adjusted my recollection of the Mary Poppins film version of the dress into something much closer to your final product. If I'd seen your dress out of context I would have immediately thought 'Hey, the Mary Poppins dress!' But if I saw the actual dress used in that scene (again out of context) I don't think I would have realised that's what it was from, because my memory of the dress in that scene absolutely did not include that puffed-out 50s silhouette. So apparently I have a tiny dress historian in my brain editing my memory to make films more historically accurate. Who knew? It's nice that my inner language pedant has company, though.

As somebody who knows nothing about female fashion, it's quite amazing to see you put on the various layers and then when the dress itself goes on the perfect period-accurate profile appears! It would seem like magic, had not the steps be demonstrated one at a time.

This dress is absolutely stunning! And it's so nice to see it finally finished- it's been a heck of a journey! I'd just be terrified of frolicking too hard and getting such a gorgeous, all-white gown covered in grass stains. I don't suppose you'd ever consider doing a video covering historical laundering techniques? Skin layers are obviously, as you've mentioned a few times, designed to stand up to being washed and washed hard and frequently, but what about caring for outer layers made with fabrics that certainly wouldn't play well with modern washing machines? How do you clean those stunning wools and delicate cottons festooned with lace?

@vozh7639 Год назад

Absolute History often has historical cleaning methods in their living histories, if you're interested in that? Ruth shows a way of cleaning lace in the Edwardian Farm series, though I'm not sure if the process would be different for fabrics with sewn-in lace sections 🤔

@elizabethclaiborne6461 Год назад

These big studio movies from mid century adapt almost everything to the era when they are made. It looks normal to the audience and these were made to appeal to the masses. If you look at all the historicly set movies of the day you’ll see this, some of the hairdos are brain twisting! But historical accuracy would confuse the viewers of the time. This wasn’t a new idea, theater had done current fashion with a historical bent for centuries.

@ragnkja Год назад

@@elizabethclaiborne6461 Tudor era theatre always used contemporary costumes, even for historical plays (with possible exceptions for instantly recognisable things like togas). This meant that the audience were fine with (and even expected) to see a 14th century monarch like the title character of _Richard II_ in late 16th/early 17th century clothes, but would be confused if he didn’t look grand and royal enough.

this dress is a CONFECTION, a dream, a fluffy cloud of whimsy and fun and everything the jolly holiday scene wanted to convey, the essence of "what is this Real World you speak of, with dirt and grass stains and hard work?" And then one remembers the time, the skill, the WORK that went into it, and one is reminded that every frothy dream has a beginning on the ground, in the hands of someone who cares, and that just makes it even more magical, and I have had too much coffee with my ADHD meds again but GOSH I love this dress!!!!!!
