I never thought of the dress as a yellow color. My mind translated the color to be gold. And cloth of gold is a real thing.

Belle's "yellow" dress is supposed to be gold. And they didn't wear corsets; they wore STAYS.

Glamour saying it's not accurate then proceeding to not be accurate either reminds me of confidently shouting the wrong answer in class

they forgot her pockets. pockets were tied on the waist above the bum roll, and all of her petticoats would have holes in them to access these pockets. poorer women didnt have many petticoats on either. if anyone wanted to know, the stays are put on after the chemise so you wouldn't sweat on your expensive textiles. white linens were reserved for upper classes who could afford to keep them white.

Meanwhile every single historical costumer just cringed when she called the stays “corsets” (corsets being the Victorian equivalent/evolution of stays) and said that 18th century fashion isn’t comfortable. If it’s been made right and fits you properly, it’s comfortable. Otherwise it wouldn’t be worn! Thousands of historical costumers today wear historically accurate, elaborate gowns and underpinnings with comfort and ease.

OH SO NOW GLAMOUR IS GONNA TALK TO US ABOUT HISTORICAL ACCURACY

Me:(doesn’t wear a hat) My husband: I know you’re mad, but you don’t have to do this

The extremely tall pouffe hair was only in fashion for a few years in the 18th century.

I just want to say that just because there’s aristocracy does not mean it’s pre-revolutionary France simply by the presence of Aristos. So it isn’t necessarily the 18th century. It could very well be the 1850’s. There were three empires post revolution as well as the July monarchy of the bourbon restoration. France has really only been an actual republic since the turn of the 20th century after the fall of the Third Napoleonic Empire

every time she said “corset” my heart died a little more

I want Karolina Zebrowski to watch and correct this now

Why are they surprised that Disney isn't accurate? The dress is made by magical taking furniture pieces...

Disney: Nobody: Glamour: *ThAt's Not aCurRaTe!*

Next time please ask for a artist who can draw better. There are lot of talented artist out there.

Fashion “historian”: a corset was worn over the chemise. Erm no, they would of been called stays. They were not called corsets until the 19th century.

I'm not even a Fashion Historian (taught myself some stuff based on books), but I literally cringed when I heard " corset ". It's called STAYS. Considering the puffy hair, since we don't know in which decade the movie takes place, I'd rather say that the hair would be tied in a late 1760s - early 1770s updo, when hair was high but not too much compared to the second half of the decade. Yet, I'm sorry again but... STAYS. STAYS. STAYS.

1:41 When as a fashion expert you confound a corset with stays...

Well, they could've just lookup when the book was set(1740s) and based it on that. Also, the aristocracy still (officially)existed AFTER the revolution. The kings who ruled after Louis XVI created new aristocrats. There are still French aristocrats at the present but they don't officially exist because there is no monarch.

This video isnt even all correct. *that's not a corset.* and you guys obviously have enough money to actually get a decent artist but that's that.

ACK SHE CALLED IT A CORSET KAROLINA MEME MOM PLEASE SAVE US

Historical accuracy is the last thing people think about when watching Disney movies

You would think that she would know the difference between a corset and a stay. You'd think they would teach that pretty early but it's often a mistake people make. I only learned this recently as well so it's easy to mix up but 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, pannier's usually actually folded down. So when a woman went through doors, she would simply fold them down and they would go back up. They weren't super stiff.

i feel as though , in this one belle’s “ commoner “ dress seemed pretty accurate for her character. she wasn’t really looking for love, so didn’t feel the need to wear a bonnet/hat. and stockings could’ve been to expensive for her or were just to uncomfortable since she really only went out to read and get books. as you could see, they wanted to convey her personality like that, bc other women in the town wore exactly what was ‘ accurate ‘ for that time period.

It bothers me that a historian groups and entire century together when decades and years vary within that century. Fashion wasn't the same the entire century. So poorly done.

Don't forget that the prince and everyone in the castle were cursed for ten years, so the time period in which Beauty and the Beast takes place may be a bit non-linear! Wonderful video! I would love to see more of these videos for other Disney Princesses!

I dare you to do all the princesses

The only thing I have to say is that the corsets were called "stays" or a "pair of bodies" and were slightly different than corsets. I really liked the video, though!

I like how she said there was no bright yellows and then showed a mustard yelloe that looked like it could be the right color for her dress

THEY'RE CALLED STAYS NOT CORSETS

I need them to tear apart the live-action costumes.

Seriously, the expert isn't an expert: it's a body or stays, not a corset, and it wasn't possible to tight lace. The material doesn't allow it and this didn't happen until corsets began (1830s ish). UGH!

The art of historically accurate Belle makes me want to cry.

Everyone together now: one, two, three...STAYS!!!!

Who is the artist looks like my art in forth grade no hate😂

Any true historical fashion expert knows that 18th century supporting undergarment were called stays/bodies and not corsets..

As a person who wears this gowns, i can say they are really confortable and lavish

This is partly incorrect but okay

Because belle's dress was inspired by audrey hepburn. The animators of disney used audrey as inspirationin making disney belle and also aurora of sleeping beauty :)

Karolina Żebrowska would cover this a lot better, and use proper terminology. x'D

*"Honey, can I leave my cup on your pannier for a second? I'm gonna head to the loo."*

For everyone saying that "Belle's weird, and ahead of her time so she shouldn't be accurate!" Let's be realistic here, I understand the dress is provided by magical talking furniture and that Belle is an outlier, but the fact remains B&B was one of the first princess movies of the Renaissance and. The one most clearly trying to fit the formula of the old ones. Her design was based on Katherine Hepburn, a 40's icon. That is the only reason Belle is wearing a "ye olde peasant dress" via the 1940's and a spectacular ball gown of the one-crinoline-fits-all variety. Simply because they wanted something swishy. Belle's an outlier, cool. She doesn't want to be wearing a basket on her hips or powder her hair - fine. Slap her in a regency up do and a robe anglaise. The Robe a la Anglaise was am 18th century style commonly worn in England. It had a fitted back (as opposed to the pleated back popular in France - the Robe Francaise) and a more streamlined skirt silhouette, usually just supported on a bum roll. There was plenty of swish and you could even conceivably do a Vienese Waltz in one. Why is that so hard?

There was royalty after the Revolution though, like 3 monarch’s reigns (or more), so this could be in the 19th century.

and to be even a bit more accurate, the corset was called 'stays' during that time.

Belle didn't exactly have the most trendy gown laying around. It should be taken into consideration that any garment worn would have been at least a decade old because that is the fashion available to the memories of those hooking her up in the dress or in general.

"Video finishes" People : "throws away giant history post cards"

Panniers were collapsible and women could EASILY walk through doors facing the front

Actually, the fashion wasn't that uncomfortable. Try actually wearing it if you can and you'll see. Yes, people have done this.

What’s next? *mouse expert calls out trueness of Mickey mouse*

Karolina zebrowska, where you at

so interesting. This is a content we should have more on this platform!

You would think that a fashion historian would call the undergarments by there correct names... the thing she called a corset was actually called a pair of stays.... Very different to a corset, which was called so in an entirely different century. And by the way, where are all the pockets?!?! When did I go into and alternate universe where pockets didn't exist in the 18th century!?!?

They would've been called stays, and clothing throughout history was actually quite comfortable if it was made right and fit you correctly, no different than normal clothing.

The facts is the BatB movie works not like in pre-revolutionary era, but in a post-revolutionary era, in the last five years of the XVIIIth Century. In facts, it's proven that Belle wears one of Romy Schneider's Sissi's Yellow Dress, predicting the fashion of XIXth Century, with more simplicity.

Bells dress isn't bright yellow it's more gold or golden rod. Wtf

Corsets were actually for bosom support since bras weren’t really thing

That's waaaaay to many clothes... I'd be sweating and exhausted all the time.

Do this for other princesses please!!!

1. Belles dress is gold 2. Poufs weren’t an entire white wig 3. She still could’ve worn gloves 4. Not every working woman had to have a wide skirt 5. Why couldn’t she have a blue shirt?

I’d be tired by just getting ready😂😂

Belle's dress looks more mid-1800s American fashion

2:20 Well, Maurice always told Belle that she was ahead of her time 😂

Now I know why they needed a fan, it's a must I mean look at that dress carrying thousands of layers.. I would die of sweat and heat. 😵

im confused lol the 18th century = 1700’s 19th century = 1800’s so it was the right shape?

April, I love your podcast Dressed and am so glad you mentioned this KZfaq video in a recent episode as I like seeing my podcast hosts to connect with them. Thank you for such a great podcast!

Meanwhile the live action version. Literally yellow party paper glued together on Watson

The gold dress that belle is wearing reminds me of a 1865 evening gown

Fun fact, Belle actually looked more accurate in the original drawings for the movie when they were still planning to go for something closer to the original story. If you look at the behind the scenes storyboards you'll see silouettes fitting the 18th century more than the final looks.

We need to watch again the movie to see the other girls characters in the film, because remember; Belle was ahead of her time

I will never complain about pulling on my skinny jeans again...well at least not without the relief that styles have evolved.

more videos like this please

Could you check Barbie's costumes? Like the princess and the pauper or the twelve dancing princesses. Not only the female fashion, but also the male outfits featured in the movies. I think that would be interesting.

Corsets were not invented until the 19th century. Those are stays.

I expect a film with a mythical beast to not be accurate :)

Well, I don't know if every single historical fact in this video it's true, but it apears that most of the people in the comment section are fashion historian just like the woman in the video, for God's sake you guys... Glamour, please, just continue to make this videos with the others princessess and historical movies, it's amazing!

PLEASE MORE OF THESE. These are really helpful to me

LMAO KAROLINA CALLED THIS VIDEO OUT

Thank god Its acceptable to wear canton panties and a sports bra for undergarments and call it a day.

Glamour: “Is it accurate?” Me: It’s a Disney movie bisch!

Nobody: Glamour: the corset was worn over the chemis Me: *internal screaming*

I deeply appreciate that the editor/image gatherer did not cut out the dude at 6:24 also pulling up his clearly undone trousers

“This was Pre 18th century” goes on to only talk about the 18th century

THE RIBBON GOES UNDER THE KNEE

I felt so smart until I realized that this is the kind of stuff I watch instead of studying for my test tomorrow

this video is so interesting ! there should be a full series of this going through all the outfits of the disney princesses ~

They butchered the drawings though.

Why do people think the art is bad? I personally dont think its bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just sort of realized Belle's first song is her walking around the town singing about how much it sucks. That's probably why they think she's weird and hate her.

Really enjoying this series. I have watched three in a row, Titanic, Frozen and now this one and every one i ave not only enjoyed, but have learnt alot about fashion, culture, royalty of the past. Well done. Lookin forward in seeing more.

Would Belle have dressed that fancy tho for the yellow dress, she wasn't an aristocrat she was a peasant

Belle would’ve looked ridiculous if she wore those two “accurate” outfits in the film!

The thing about belle is she defies fashion dos. She isn’t your typical go with the flow person.

Hey, this would be a good and educational series! Can't wait for another princess/prince analysis!

don’t forget that this is a movie with magical components lol

You can't take this movie seriously. 18th century France, but they know the Eiffel tower? France only had one king, there were no princes and castles everywhere you looked. Dukes, perhaps, but if one of them had been enchanted the people who worked on his land would have wondered why no one was governing them any more. Besides: the story develops over a few weeks while three seasons change? And: Belle is supposed to be an intelligent, independent "modern" girl, she wants adventure, and in the end she simply gets married? I still love the movie. But it's veeery incongruous. :-)

We need more videos like this!!!

I would like to point out that belle is not parctically shown as a working class woman, all we see her doing is going to town and borrowing a book. The only time we see her "working" is when she hands her father a tool. So when they refer to her as working class woman that's incorrect.

Having a corset that raised the bosom was proper and modest and only men were allowed to make and fit them to the female customer. 😒 it's not just me right? I'm not the only one seeing the hypocrisy am I?

The yellow on the dress at 0:57 could totally be put on Belle's dress and it wouldn't look out of place.

Please keep making these that was so interesting!
