It must have been so scary for those models to wear those original pieces in the movies...I’d be terrified to even touch them. It was interesting to hear how they were protected. And I adore Raissa’s videos on historical accuracy in movies!

She said Versace with a short e (eh) sound at the end correctly. In Italian, a long “E” (ee) sound is often made with the letter “i” and vowel sounds are more consistent in Italian (vs. other languages where e could be used for eh or ee). If an ee sound was wanted you’d use i-like Gianni.

They're shorts, just a really loose leg style. It was perfectly acceptable for specific things like physical sports and swimming to have something so revealing. You can see the gathered part in the middle where the seams are for the crotch/leg.

Right, these aren’t every day wear- there was no “athlesiure” back then so they wouldn’t wear these to go to the grocery store or running errands. Outfits were for specific activities. For example, it would be frowned upon to wear your house dress to church. People still believed in dressing up.

I may be the last person to be interested in the fashion industry, but I really find it interesting how Coco Chanel was the backbone for most of the styles of women's outfits. Personally, I like the simplicity of her designs and although I am not -- and probably will not be -- wearing one, I think the timelessness of her pieces will survive for another hundred years or so. P.S. I also found the "lineages" fascinating Balenciaga - Givenchy, Dior - Saint Laurent. 's nice.

Raissa: I have a sort of Historical Fashion question that's been bothering ever since I heard an old Irish song titled "Mountains of Mourne". In the second verse he is writing a reply to his girlfriend about how women in London were dressed and he comments that "they don't wear no tops to their dresses at all" and "You could not tell if they bound for a ball or a bath". Now I'm pretty sure these women were not "topless" in our sense of understanding of being bare breasted so all I can think of is that they were showing some cleavage or some skin. Won't you please clear this up, thank you.

@leemaher4257 3 жыл бұрын

Commenting as curious as to what the answer will be, interesting question.

@ArtemisMoon12 3 жыл бұрын

Perhaps rather than straps or bodices over the shoulders, it may have been dropped shoulder or sleeveless entirely. So “no tops”. As if the bodice was cut off at the top. The 1850s is when that song came about; and it was rather daring for dropped shoulders in ball gowns. While 1830/1840s did have lower shoulders for ball gowns, it did get lower and the shoulders were more decorative rather than useful in structure for the bodice.
