soo not gonna lie, I gathered a list of films I thought were worth mentioning and talked and talked and talked. then I finished recording and realized there is no way I can fit all of it in one video. I will probably split them into several videos. also, why is my hair always such a mess when I finally decide to shoot?

I loved Amadeus, and it was the costumes that won me over. Granted, I'm not a costume designer, even an amateur one. But Amadeus, for all its faults, attempted to capture the exuberance of the late 18th Century.

I HATE inaccurate costumes. They ruin the movie/show for me. Every time I see an inaccurate costume I am reminded that what I am seeing is just a movie. Inaccurate costumes keep me from fully immersing myself in the movie because they are a constant reminder that the movie is fake.

I remember I read a book set in a society where everyone emulates the 18th century, and has to wear period clothing, and the main character of course wears stays, and her over lacing them kind of factors into the story, and I was super salty because the cover of the second book had a picture of a late 19th century corset on it, and that is NOT anything this character would be wearing!

The thing about all movies is that they don't have to be accurate. Are Tarantino movies accurate? Of course not! But plenty of them are set in the modern day. It's about the feel you want to create, and the audience you're making the film for. When you hear costumers talk about a lot of the costumes they create, they're often quick to point out inaccuracies and the reasons they made them inaccurate. It's usually because they were trying to create a certain mood or emphasize an aspect about a character.

Ivelisse Álvarez hey! not op and I don't know much about the 19th century, but as for potc, that scene is pretty much entirely over-dramaticised. I can't remember the scene in much detail, but her stays wouldn't be tight enough to make her faint like that, and she certainly wouldn't be unused the feeling of wearing stays, she would have worn them since childhood. a pair of well-fitting stays is quite comfortable, and that scene is really just nonsense

I just had a conversation with someone about this! We hypothesized that maybe they're meant to be tight-laced to fit the new dress she was wearing. She certainly would have worn stays on a daily basis, but her father says something about a new style when he gives her the dress. Tighter lacing than normal plus heat could possibly equal light-headedness. It's still pretty far-fetched though.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but "steampunk" was never really a historical thing, it was a style invented in the 1990s for time traveling movies, the actual people of the 19th century would never actually wear copper and brass machine parts on their bodies... Like sure, the fashion would be the same, but without all the time travelling robot nonsense.. P.S. I love steampunk myself, it's just not historically accurate

It's always hilarious to me how the women in these films are usually wearing what v much looks like 1960s make up that probably wouldn't really work in the 1890s, but I'm no expert here, I'd love to hear your take on this. :D

I think that's why Barry Lyndon impresses me so much, because up to 1970s it was perfectly normal to have a leading lady wear a contemporary hair, make up and undergarments and then have her frolick around in a kitschy satin gown with a cut resembling the modern ones. and then Barry Lyndon came and was like BOOYAAH! HOW 'BOUT DAH!

@@jennyboldrini7330 Oh noes! That one was dreadful! Mr. Hinds' portrayal of Rochester came across as a bully! I couldn't believe it when I saw others saying it, because I had so liked him as Col. Wentworth in Persuasion, but it's true. His portrayal veered more into the violent aspects of Rochester's nature than the text portrayed. Brontë's Rochester threatened violence, but admitted quickly afterward that he couldn't act on it because he loved Jane too well. Hinds' Rochester threatened, more than Brontë's did, and didn't withdraw the threat. He really came across as a bully and I just couldn't stomach it. Try reading the scene and then watching it. I've read & re-read & listened to the audiobook version (check out Elizabeth Klett's version on LibriVox) probably 50 times. The Dalton/Clarke version is most true to the text. Perhaps there's an argument to be made for interpretation vs. adaptation, but I do like such movies to resemble the books, *if* I've read the book first. If I watch the movie first, then the discrepancies don't trouble me as much. In fact, I like the movie ending of (Gaskell's) North and South better than the book's. But there are other scenes in the book that I think should've made it into the TV movie version.

I love this video but my only gripe is that Amadeus isn't actually meant to be historically accurate in content or design. This is obvious in the play (in the most recent production only half the cast were period costume and Mozart has bleach blond hair and doc martens) . If you watch videos of reviews of the film the same problem occurs where they criticise the fact it's historically inaccurate. It seems to be a conscious decision on the part of Foreman and Shaffer (the original playwrite) to try and translate the feel of the play where it knows it isn't accurate and it's all a memory of Salieri and you're not meant to trust what you are watching- which contrasts badly with the fact they shot it in beautiful historically accurate sets. I think it's rather a bad translation of the brechtian direction of the original play to film and not consulting Peter Hall (the original director of the play). This isn't hate in any way- I love your videos so much but this is a running theme I've noticed in all forms of youtube critiques of the film.

Have you been to the frock flicks website? There's one post on there about the lack of bobby pins/hair pins in period dramas, seeing as all the women have their hair loose and flowing in the wind. Also, one thing that annoys me about certain period dramas where the year itself isn't important (i.e. no famous events like Lincoln's assassination or the Franco-Prussian war) is when the year the story is supposedly taken place is stated ("1901") but then the fashions are from previous decades and I'm just like..."Why didn't you just say '1895' or whatever???"

I am a big fan of this channel since someone mentioned it in the Ultimate Fashion History Facebook group last week. I am not ashamed to say my first costume film obsession was Amadeus when I was about 16, but it drove me to go practically live in my local library looking at costume reference books. I didn't full realize the costumes were WRONG for years, but it did set me on a path to a serious obsession with historical costume. I still have NEVER seen Barry Lyndon even though I know it's famous for its costumes! Secondly, as a speaker of German as my second language and as a former (and future) English trainer, I was going to compliment you on the extreme ease with which you speak English. At the same time, I know the frustration of having a Difficult Language Day. I found that this would happen to me WHILE I was actively using German. It's counterintuitive to be sure. For reference, you might enjoy the Ultimate Fashion History 18th century video, even though you probably know all the content. I love that the UFH and your channel and others are speaking to the validity and importance of KNOWING fashion history. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLWjoLqG18XNmYE.html

omfg i love you. I feel like sometimes actors in particular don't want to commit. Like, I've noticed that in more modern productions taking place in different eras -- like stranger things. i love that show, but the main female lead didn't commit to having 80s hair. Like, you can't just stuff someone in a stripped sweater or neon tights and call it good. It's not the 80s without the weird accessories or the awful hair. And it's the same way when you go much earlier -- like if you don't have weird scarves tied places, you're not doing it right.

I get what you're saying... most of the time it's the costume/muah designer's fault though. they're like "whaat? we can't have the LEAD look ugly". the actors are not responsible for the research, so they just agree. but I've heard of some cases where the actors themselves have been pushing the designers towards historical accuracy even if it costs them good looks - like Bette Davis in the 1930s flick about Elisabeth I. kudos to them!

Great idea, I'd love to see more! Could you maybe look at one of Hollywood's Jane Austen movies? Judging by them, I love the fashion of that era, but I'm always wondering how accurate they really are. They do seem to use different kinds of costumes than in the BBC versions, I think? This actually reminded me of a movie I once saw. I think it was based on a fairytale, but still. There was one ball scene where it looked liked all the extras just brought their own dresses or something. My fashion history knowledge is a far cry from yours, but even I could see there was Victorian, Regency, even some stuff that looked like it was from the 1940s/50s? So many eras in one place, it really bothered me! :,D Also, your English is fine, don't worry!

In the 18th century, women would never wear their hair down like Demelza. The makeup used in the film is very 21st century-ish. I don't think they were trying to be historically accurate.

Except for Caroline Penbenen's outfits, the costumes look a bit "cookie cutter" -as if they were all made from the same pattern. And they should have shown some change over the years, but they didn't. The costumes from the original 1975 Poldark series did show change over time, but they were sometimes poorly executed.

Juliane Pidde, poor women would be working women (in the fields, on the farm, or in the factories in the cities, in the shops, as maids or even begging), you best believe they would never let their hair flow untamed as it be impractical and long hair would disturb their work (they were all wearing head scarves and had their hair tied up or plaid up) and long flowing hair was only done in the bedroom after dark (so no woman would be seen like that in the public, everyone would expect her to be a harlot)

I love this video! Can you review the costumes in the Marie Antoinette movie from 2006? It would be really cool to see you compare the costumes in movie Young Victoria and the Victoria series! And also compare the costumes in the pride and prejudice movie from 1995 and the one from 2005, I think it would be really cool if you compared the costumes of different movie adaptations of the same novel/historical person.

How about Franco Zefarelli's 1968 movie "Romeo and Juliet"? I understand that Zefarelli was striving for historical accuracy as much as he was expressing his own aesthetic. I thought the costumes were more well done than other 1960s period movies.

I recently attended a "fashion show" at the North Carolina museum of History where they explored 150 years of women's fashion, including the undergarments, from roughly 1750 to 1900. I found the history and story of the silhouette changes so fascinating and I can't stop googling and reading about it!

I agree with your point about modernizing costumes (that you should still be able to tell what era the story takes place in). The designer for Anna Karenina said in interviews that her goal was to incorporate haute couture from the 1950s and the period silhouettes to bring the audience into the story. Another movie that does this well, IMO, is "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" (yes, zombies). That film's costume designer took styles from that era of Austen's writing (i.e. that would be easily recognized) and made them functional for what the characters would likely wear in a zombie apocalypse.
