The Historical Inspiration In Tim Burton's: The Corpse Bride 

I really like your interpretation of what Emily's dress could've looked like when she was alive. It feels like something that could naturally be destroyed over time as she decomposes to achieve what we got in the movie

I was going to say that maybe they raised the corset cup for modesty in a kids movie. But this was after my instant reaction of nothing beneath the corset which could have also solved this issue.

I also think that the differences in clothing were inspired by the new money not really knowing what to wear/ wearing late fashion cuz they couldnt before and old money being in need to always be in the latest fashion

Corpse bride is both a beautiful and sad victorian movie 🦋

Between Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005 was a great year for Tim Burton

“He’s napoleon. That’s historical 😐” I’m dying 😭

this is honestly the best makeup I've seen - looking for low key and realistic for pictures/distance. not cartoony and not glam. Great job!

I love how she keeps saying 1990s without batting an eye, I bet editing her kept palm facing every time

I was waiting patiently for you to roast the fact that in the corset scene she is being laced up AT THE TOP OF THE CORSET instead of at the waist. Girly maybe that's why you can't breathe!

Perhaps Emily’s gown had to be sewn up a few different times as she decayed, as that would cause the fabric to get looser and possibly even rotten as well

Love this movie.

So are you going to make this dress from the drawing Vic? Sounds like a great Halloween project! P.S. NOT a Tim Burton, mind BLOWN !!

I think they only say it’s “late Victorian” because I feel like we associate that era with gothic culture. But after rewatching the movie, it’s definitely a fun mix of Edwardian (a lot of bg female characters sport large 1910’s era hats, and fashion) and I’d even say to an extent Georgian or Regency era men’s fashion. A lot of the gowns have that early 20th century Belle Époque shape imo.

She's not wearing anything under her corset! Rookie mistake, guys!

I still use DVDs too 😆

I got an ad for a bra right before the corset clip

Very cool 😀

"Corpse Bride was my favorite as a child" Me: 💀

I think you mean to say "especially" not "expetially."

i loved your version of Emily's dress! but i was wondering, if that's her mother's wedding dress, then it should be 30 years old? (Emily died 10 years before 1890s when she was 20, so she was born in 1860s, if we assume her mother got married before that, then the dress should be from the 60s/50s. sorry i'm not good at maths lol)

Victor's parents were new to money so her dresses she thought were in fashion but we're really about five years old so it's correct

this was absolutely my favorite movie as a little gal!! i know that even though they dont explicitly say it, it is set in england, but part of me wishes the setting took more inspo from the original tale!! a late nineteenth century russian jewish folktale- that coulda had some real gorgeous stuff aswell

I wonder what you'd say about the dead ladies in the same movie (the bridesmaids). And if we could find someone to discuss the dudes too, that would be swell. Like... Alfred is rockin' that porple suit.

i just found out abt this lady from the sleeping beauty vid and i'm honestly in love her voice is so calming

You should do frankenweenie next, if you haven't already done it

The plunging neckline might also be due to different fabrics, the gauzy edges of her train are beginning to deteriorate so it's possible that the upper portion of her bodice was a more sheer gauzy fabric and it was simply the first to decay.

I'm from 1997 too sis

Ah!! Your breaking out! Oh, well.
