Women's Fashion from the 1860's

you can wear them longer if you cut a lot on the bottom so it doesnt get dirty from the ground lol

That is one unhappy daughter.

I prefer fair skin to a tan any day. I hate the pantaloons though.

women used to be so femenine back in days. today they dress like a men

Какие красивые платья длинные спасибо большое за показ видео

I would dress like this everyday

what might have been an interesting presentation was made bland by the woman speaking

I swear I love the 1850s and 60s it's just so sad it's not safe at all for me

where did you get the yellow and blue one?

uhhh really a dress

was this filmed in 1860s ?

Lady I love the way you talk it’s just so cute ❤️🌸 beautiful dresses. I too wish women still dressed like this. It’s so graceful and classic.

There seemed to be many more restrictions on what you could or couldn't do than there were in Europe, not letting your hair show is one and changing into ball gowns at three in the afternoon is another. Balls didn't start til around ten at night so you spend seven hours sitting around doing nothing, even dinner wasn't til eight at night. Nice dresses but the collars look slightly off as well. If you want to make something similar the top us basically a shirt dress with buttons up the front and the skirt is gathered or pleated into the waist. I make most of my dresses this way, usually using snaps/press studs or books and eyes to fasten the fronts because I hate doing button holes. Can be worn with or without the hooped petticoats depending on your lifestyle. Don't forget the skirt side seams often had a slit to allow access to the pockets worn underneath the petticoat. I do wear a sleeveless tabard or scapula over the top instead of a pinny or apron, I just find it more practical and wearing different ones totally changes the look of the outfit for the day. Have housework ones and shopping ones and dressy ones.

The dresses are so pretty

The bodices are poorly constructed and notably too loose, to top it off the hoop skirt worn under the red dress not only kept getting caught but also created an entirely inaccurate and floppy figure. All of these are mistakes that are easy to fix, even for a beginner.

Lmaoo yo these ppl were filthy. Beautiful attire rarely washed

It's so hard to understand her and she says uh a lot.

Thanks so much, this really helped me make my project on the 1860s way better!

Très joli trio! vous êtes fort jolies
J'aime beaucoup cet habillement délaissé par la haute couture sous la dictature d'homosexuels sans talent qui n'aiment pas les femmes.
Le prêt à jeter égal une catastrophe culturelle, don le plus négatif est le jean taille basse qui en piétinent toute culture , a envahi toute la planète..

I had to put on captions to understand you. The captions couldn't understand you. The dress is very lovely.

thanks for the information

they look so comfortable on

i love those dresses

I think i should

I would love to dress like this when I'm older

where are you and do you have a catalog?

needless is to loose women never wore dresses that loose even when poor

If love to be in a Reenacting group so I could wear these dresses all the time. I have always dreamed of being one of those elegant southern belles during the 1860's with a ball gown.

hi

A lot of the accessories seen here are very inaccurate; corsets would always be worn, dresses always came down to the wrist, bangs would not have been worn except by young girls, the hoop earrings are incorrect... In general, this is not a good resource for those new to reenacting.

man these are more gorgeous than the dresses that cover absolutely nothing today, all my life I've loved these dresses so much

You have a great southern accent, so charming. Love the dresses too!

i wish we still dressed like this

beautiful dresses. I love hoopskirts and that period.

Do you wear corsets? Or no? Just curious.

The draw string type purse is not exactly period.. was atopped abt the 1830-1840 so why are the re enactors still using them...

If that accent isn't the best :-)

I'm in my sixth decade, from the USA but long in Europe.  I still wear fairly old-fashioned clothing and undergarments.  It's actually cheaper and more practical and it's easy to alter things for the figure, for work, for home life, for activities.  Learning to make lace is tatting, and I learned it from my father in Ohio.  I can only do simple trims, but they are practical to ease fraying and to cover damage.  Frequently, only one bolt of fabric for females and one for males could be bought per family per year.  One of my ancestors had a schism with her family over a fabric dispute.  She was skinny, they were fat.  They all worked there to produce incomes but "Aunt Can" felt she should pay less because she needed so little fabric each year.  They refused and off she went, never to reconcile with them.  Everyone tatted (usually females) and this was the gift you'd give when you went to visit.  I still do that for all my bed linens, handkerchiefs, gifts and even my daily clothing.  Good video, thank you!  Uprated.

I just love the Southern accent.  

I reenact the 1830s it is a lot of fun learning how women wore things back in the day; very formal and HOT in the summer! Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching! (:

Oh DARLING, being a 10th grader must seem like a cakewalk compared to being a freshman. The school mapping is a maze as you crush your schedule in your hand, trying to get to class on time on your first week of school. All the seniours hate you and talk smack about you, like two seniour girls did in an after-school club I was in. One time in my school's Pep Rally, everyone was cheering for the seniours, juniours and sophomores. But when it got to us, everyone booed. It sucks.

Baby, ALL skin colours are beautiful. From the palest, fairest skin to the blackest, bluest skin, it's all gorgeous. No mattre what people might think.

who cares if they laugh?? Just rock it!

wow well done!

There pretty dresses

our daughters have LOVED how they are treated with respect by the men in the units. I have never had to worry about their well being or safety while in camp. the Men also enjoy the respect & attention of the ladies :) -- it can be a win win & most enjoyable family hobby - i highly recommend it.

look into your local reenacting - its a FAMILY thing and a wonderful hobby - you would get to dress like this all you want :) --possibly INCLUDING school for things like history demonstrations/ book reports/ even halloween (you can 'introduce' your friends to your new hobby :)
