I love the arm "floaties" added to the dress. If a pool party breaks out, you're ready to go!

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely adore the fashions of this decade! They seem so over-the-top and cutesy, which for some reason is why many people dislike it.

I've heard people complain about this silhouette but I find the doll-like look charming. I also like the shorter hemlines. Needlesss to say, at the time, I'd probably would have been an old spinster still wearing the Regency fashions of my tragic and misspent youth.

Capes should totally make a comeback.

Unlike many of the other people commenting here I actually find this era very interesting. Must be down to many years of watching Dickens adaptations 😉 In many ways this period is a dressmakers and milliner's dream. And the hairstyles are so elaborate and fantastical. It all may look alien and strange to contemporary eyes but you have to appreciate and understand the aesthetic. The shot silk is lovely IMHO- bronze and olive is perfect for autumn. 👍

Funny people say they are glad they don't have to do all that to get dressed but I feel I do some mornings to go to work. LOL! But back then it was not seen as a bother...it is the same way we get ready now...you just get up and do it.

Oh my goodness the faces and jiggly jumps you do are hysterically funny! I’m hooked on your Channel. I love your Musical choices and you could hide a variety of things in those sleeves.

‘I’m just going out for a walk, I may be some time.’ Brilliant as always. I find this wacky fashion period strangely attractive. What always shocks me is how many of the wonderful fabrics have just gone, without Lycra and polyester modern woman would be no more able to dress than a woman in the age of corsets.

People commenting how exaggerated this dress is... apparently you all forgot about elizabethan fashion, Rococo court gowns, 1850s, 1870s and Natural form skirts that look like "pooping" fabric. All filled with ruffles, lace, embroidery, flowers, bows... This dress' only "crazy" thing is the shape, but it's completely flat, has no ruffles nor pleats at all in it which makes it look clean.

Is anyone else watching this a fan of Gentleman Jack? I love everything about the series: the acting, attire, story, history, everything!

This lady does a wonderful job representing that era. It's as if she has teleported from the past.

Thank you for your sharing all your hard work to bring period fashion to reality. I have always loved fashion of bygone eras & you do a wonderful job with all your videos. 💖

It took me a moment to figure out why this outfit made me feel nostalgic for my childhood, since I wasn't a child in the 1830's. Then it came to me. Quality Street! I love your videos Izabela.

Now, at long last, I understand what the term "shot silk" means. Thank you.

I love that they include information on menstruation in this video. It's a topic so rarely discussed, but of course it was a fact of life then like now, despite modern media pretending as if women shaved all their body hair and never got their periods in the previous centuries.

I love how you call the fashion what it really is - totally bonkers - and still have an appreciation for it.

1830, the eighties of the nineteenth century.

I was living for a short while in Northern Arizona and had to do laundry at a shared laundromat where Navajo and Zuni Native American families did their laundry. I was interested to note that most of the older ladies wore wool petticoats made of old green army blankets. Sometimes they would just slip out of one right there to wash it. I am not sure how many those ladies wore under their velvet long skirts. I was a learning experience for me and one I treasure.

The duo chrome effect the dress has is just mesmerizing

The dress is beautiful with the way the fabric changes along with the lighting angle.

Absolutely marvelous dress. Thank you for posting this new video, I really missed your videos. Each of them is a treasure

I came for the historically accurate outfit. I stayed for the kitty photobomb. 😹

Tbh, I can't believe cloaks went out of style. They're so cute😍

i'm addicted to these videos, they're so interesting and satisfying to watch and she seems like such a sweet person

Wonderful job. Your attention to detail is marvelous!

I love the way she hops up and down to get everything settled. Love this series.

I so enjoyed your sense of humor on this one. The look on your face during the second petticoat, your 7 second remark about your natural hairs curl holding ability, and the cat video-bombs.

That sweet kitty I saw at 6:12 also helped out......dressing the lady took the entire household!

If I had to go through all that, I'd just have to take a nap before I went out.

I’m impressed she did that by herself

I'm amused that they used to basically wear kids water wings under to keep those sleeves so poofy. Lovely video. Thanks.

Your comments are great. They really make the outfits come alive across a screen.

Loved the cat photo bomb. 😂. Otherwise, very informative. I am glad I don’t have to do all that just to get dressed.

My favorite Era right now. Reading “the Murder of Helen Jewett” - who looked similar to this. You look so realistic! Very well researched and executed.

That cat photo bomb was a hoot! I'm so glad I found this sight!

Brava Madame! I so enjoy your videos. How interesting to see the styles change so dramatically during these decades. Clothing from 1790, to 1810, to 1830 - what a transformation.

Hi! I used your book, The Victorian Dressmaker, to make pantalettes, chemise, corded petticoat and plain petticoat like the ones you are wearing in the video and they came out very nice! I’m also working on the corded corset like the one you are wearing from the book but it is a next-level endeavor 🤩. I truly recommend your book even for begginers like me. Awesome video!

I noticed the Bobbin 🧵 Lace work done on a pillow. That is very intricate and elegant. This tells me when Bobbin Lace was useful.

Thank goodness clothing fashions have gotten easier to put on! So many layers! Thoroughly enjoying these videos! A time machine to the past. ☺👍💖

I watch most of all your videos and they are really incredible. You transfer us back in time and we get an idea for many things of that season! Keep up in good work! Thank you!

Love how the cat always shows up

You are an incredible seamstress. Thank you for sharing with us! Super interesting.

Wow, a real cat from the 1830’s! 🐱😹😻😸. You look fabulous.

I'd be exhausted by the time I got dressed! Can't imagine supporting all of those layers, as elegant as they are. I'm very comfortable sitting here in my shorts and T-shirt, thank you!

This romantic fashion was so important to our civilization that the use of different petticoats like yours is still seen on the folkloric costumes of Europe and America ( I mean Spanish America).

I really wish I could do this and dress for different eras. Fashion through history amazes me. But unfortunately I am claustrophobic when it comes to restrictive fabric or even better, too many layers. Just watching these videos makes me almost have a psychotic break but it truly amazes me.

wow- Really well done - quite enjoyed seeing the era presented so well!! most impressive..

love the cat photobomb! ☺️

I got so excited when I saw you had put out a new video! lovely as always!

So beautiful. I wish fashion would go back to these times or something similar to them. Casual and overly casual styles have their place, but it is done too much, I think.

This looks great, so authentic! I wonder how difficult was it to use a restroom in this attire? It's so amazing to see just how elaborate those dresses were.

I just love watching your videos they are so much fun. I get a little giggle every time you say you are going in. Your furry photobomer is cute too.

I'm a fan of Victorian era because of their beautiful dresses. How I wish I have at least 1 set from undergarments to accessories. For sure, it's going to cost a lot.. I love your videos. Seeing you dressing up, I imagine myself wearing those.. thank you

I loved the music you chose for this video. Schubert is really nice to listen to, I think. : ) Loved seeing your cat stroll through, too. >^..^< The dress was gorgeous, and those sleeve puffs to wear inside the dress's sleeves looked a bit like water wings! LOL! Thanks so much for sharing the secret of what lurks beneath the gown! ~Janet in Canada

I love the way even stockings meet their match she shows them no mercy!

Yeah ready for an autumn walk... just let add some 100 layers to my outfit 😂 Great video! Thank u!

love watching your videos... Oh the layers! Theres so much mystery and romance in the attire of days gone by! TFS.....I would feel a bit..claustrophobic?? Having to be cinched up in all of that especially in the summer!

What a gorgeous color on the taffeta

I smile uncontrollably every time you do the Victorian Hop to smooth out your skirt, it's so cute!

Im loving that greenish purple glazed effect dress

Yes!!! My favourite fashion decade!!!

I love these videos so much!! I'm trying to ration them so I don't run out anytime soon. 😂 You are living my dream life! I love historical dresses so so so much.

Hungarian Rhapsody No2 in the background. A lovely fit!

I have watched your prior videos and I am just amazed at the level of detail that goes / went into dressing women for those eras... So glad we women or men do not dress like this - on purpose or daily... Can't wait to see whats next...

“Hair could be quite bonkers too” This cracked m up 🤣🤣🤣

It seems like a lot of clothing, but it was cold in the winter in those larger homes and they only had fireplaces in the rooms to keep warm. Still, I like the simpler clothing we have now! I love watching these videos of period clothing! Thank goodness for Spanx!

the ladies in the purple and green look like Cinderella's stepsisters.

I like this period in fashion. The silhouette reminds me of the Duchess of Kent, Queen Victoria's mother.

Good video thanks so much. I always thought the lace trim in hats was part of the hat, sewn in. I never realised it was a separate cap.

I love your videos! Special thanks for revealing the secret of what women did during their periods. I have always wondered how they dealt with that issue in previous epochs.

How lovely! I wish clothing like this was still readily available.

I love your videos so much, I binge-watched all of them about a month ago. They're super informative and entertaining.

That is a gorgeously literary dress, a Dickens love interest brought to life (perhaps Mary or Ruth Pinch from Martin Chuzzlewit). Not my favourite fashion decade, but the colours make it beautiful. Bravissima

cats never photo bomb. you are in their picture.

I saw a past life in that era, wearing those darn clothes ...no wonder I hate layering clothes now hahaha..loved ur videos!

I've been waiting for this video, and you certainly didn't disappoint!

I love these videos they are so informative when it comes to how historical clothing worked. Right now I'm in the process of making a webcomic and the story takes place in the 1880's so a lot of your videos are helpful in knowing how women got dressed and how their clothing worked. Even the videos spotlighting fashion from other time periods are really nice. Thank you for being such a great source of inspiration and information! I'm reading your blog as well just to collect more Victorian info since you seem to know your stuff when it comes to historical fashion. Your videos are really great and the dresses you wear are just gorgeous! Keep up the good work!

so thats were the puffy sleeves from the 80's came from

Being a naturally warm individual (I didn't even have a long sleeved jumper until I was over sixty) I cannot help thinking how unbearably hot one must have been under all that padding. Summer certainly and winter as well. Thick petticoat, thin petticoat and a corset that looks as if it could have stopped a bullet, never mind the huge sleeve pads and heavy dress material! I'm suspicious that if one could go back and ask, you'd find all the ladies who were prone to the 'vapours' had over-enthusiastic natural thermostats, like me!

Gosh it gives me a claustrophobic feeling to think of putting on all those layers lol...but the end result looks so nice!

I love how that gown is red and green at once, which shouldn't even be possible.

OMG, I'd need to go back to bed after doing all that!

the big sleeves and the taffeta remind me of a dress I wore to my 9th grade Homecoming dance xD (thrift stores are great for poor teens if you don't mind the "outdated" fashion lol)

I'd love those lace caps for bad hair days!

I just finished reading Les Miserables a few months ago and I'm trying to picture Cosette is this get-up, but with black damask instead of red-green shot-weave silk.

Beautiful and fun. You can definitely see why the gigot sleeves (and later the leg of mutton ones in the 1890s) weren't long lived, lol.

Beautiful. You even managed to make the lace cap look good. Usually I find them so unflattering (you know, in period series/movies), almost to the point where they ruin outfits. Too bad they were apparently so common.

I think the fiddling with the cape demonstrated the reason women are offered assistance with putting on and taking off their coats! Lovely colours, and I'm surprised if overcoats and so on were ever needed with all those layers on!

Hey, the credits say music by Schubert! It's Franz List's Hungarian Rapsody #2! I love the 1830s; the styles were so crazy good; every woman must have looked like a doll!

Another phrase for the gigot style of sleeve was 'leg of mutton'- probably means the same thing! The colour of the gown was an eye opener, too: I had a cushion cover of a similar material, though the colours were green and blue. I actually thought it was a modern style of material too, until I watched this!

I always love watching these- Hello from Australia!

Not one of my favorite eras, but so enjoyable to watch. Those leg of mutton sleeves (gigot sleeves) oh my! One could look quite muscular with those.

I love your videos. I've always wondered about exactly what women wore way back when. It's fascinating!

i love your videos. the cat photo bombing was an added bonus. your presentation technique gives it a touch of positive nostalgia. sometimes i feel like it's a replica of silent movies.

EXCELLENT! Thank you very much for this interesting&informative video!

Socks/stockings feature widely through the centuries, as all your marvellous clips reflect, and made of such a variety of threads perhaps with clocks..! My query -- how were they made? ...hand work or machine? Surely very labour intensive, and easily worn out; holes etc? ...especially silk, say... and the laundry aspects? Fascinating, this insight you're giving us -- many thanks!

i have to admit, bar the hat, i'm not sold on any of it, but it's amazing how effective mere ribbing is on that petticoat, and only recently have socks that decorative again become available

Beautiful! I loved the last shot of you making lace with the little bobbins! Reminds me of "Lark Rise To Candleford"

Came here in my pursuit of researching the accuracy of the show "The Frankenstein Chronicles" with Sean Bean. Let me tell you, those sleeves are DEFINITELY not present 😂 luckily the show only brushes up against the 30's so in sure they had yet to develop!

Im amazed this style came after the regency era. They're so different, this feels closer to the elaborate styles of the late 18th century,
