During those times you would have never met any guys being sheltered and the coming out would be the first and only chance of being around guy so only chance at husband

@@bunnyboo6295 good thing i’m not from that time period, i would have died lonely 😁

I could never

Isn’t there a risk that they would drip on their shoes?

especially since it also says that a lady MUST attend all social events... like, if I'm bleeding and I cannot wear anything to protect or soak up the blood, like hell would I go to a ball or take a garden stroll for a whole week until it's well and truly over!!!

@@garcia207 yeah or the floor

1 there were undergarments wherever you heard that was lying. They turned into knickers and tights. In fact regency undergarments were very similar in look to modern day knickers. 2 when on one’s period you would be permitted to abstain from social gatherings because of illness. They also had rudimentary pads made of moss or if you were fancy cotton and linen. They didn’t just bleed everywhere.

@@mahtra.2372 I never said the people of this time period were stupid. My comment is about "modern women" who romanticize this era and make it seem so wonderful because, "look pretty dresses, men swooning," but don't realize that women had no land, no inheritance, no rights to vote, no ability to work, no freedom to move about without another woman or their husbands and most if they had to wear these dresses everyday, and change out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, walking about, balls, would actually hate it. This was not an easy time period for women, and it only got worse if you had no wealth to your name, you became a young widow, or you had no male heirs.

I just binged watched Bridgerton this past weekend and absolutely love the show. I would describe myself as a Jane Austen fan who enjoys watching films such as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility again and again. I often romanticize this time period and will say I was born in the wrong era. But in my heart and soul, I am glad I wasn't born in that era. I'm too bull-headed and opinionated to have survived those times. I think I would have been the Norma Rae, Rosie Riveter, and the Women's Movement ladies of the time. lol

@@lady.leo12 I think it was actually the movie, Jane, was it, with Anne Hathaway, where there is a scene of her just enjoying some fresh air by herself and she's "confronted" by a man, and he's like, "where is your escort, you shouldn't be out here by yourself" and it was daytime. Like, the thought of not even having the freedom to "take in the air" alone with your thoughts or being seen with a man who was not related to you alone, could cause scandal is like...no, this wouldn't be fun. Can't do it. Women have freedoms that we should appreciate, and rights we should use, because there are so many even now, that had or have none.

It would be cool have a video about the poor side. There is not much information on them

​@1986Rena We got a sense of it on Downton Abbey, though it was also glamorized due to the servants being treated very well. About the most gritty of the servants stories on Downton was Edith (iicr her name) where she was let go on account of being intimate with a man (during work hours, at that) and she also wasn't a very good worker. She wanted more than a servants life. Instead, she ended up working the streets and being a single mom....which wasn't exactly like it is today. She lived in what appeared to be a hut with dirt floors. Not dirty floors; the floors *were* dirt. And she was doing SW in a very small community, just standing outside soliciting herself. We've come a long way in discretion; everyone knew the poor girls business and were not too kind about it or towards her. But even that storyline and glimpse into her life after working at Downton was given the rosy treatment for TV. Some servants were made single mother's by the men who employed them, and they weren't exactly impregnated by their own free will (if you catch my YT-friendly drift) while others were physically harmed in other ways. The Varley's of Bridgerton and servants of Downton Abbey have it good.

Fascinating, thanks 🤔

Informative details. Thank you for sharing

And they were worn by women of all classes. If you didn't, you were considered to be 'loose'

Most women wore basic versions, or second hand. They would have got the best fit, but often had them altered, or padded them out if they were too big

There are literally documented cases of corsets causing organ damage are you high

@@kikidevine694 Many of the ones with the "best fit" were padded out to give the in vogue silhouette of the time. it was one of the ways to give the illusion of a tiny waist without tight lacing.

Plus women always wore shifts under their stays, not very tight chafing corsets. And a scarf called a chemisette around the neck in the daytime.

....because it's fiction!

💖💖 you’re 💎

Thank you love💖💖

If you have a fan, you can whisper and side eye all you like

To appeal to a wider audience. I don't think it was the norm in that era for different ethnicities to pair up. They've sacrificed historical accuracy for political correctness.

Which one is your fave so far?

@@boppingyt I am shocked to say that Hyacinth's story might become my favorite because it's adding a bit of extra intrigue/storyline the others lacked. I also loved Benedict's story but it's hard to say I always like each one better than the last!

@@boppingyt fransesca no doubt

She was too old by bridgerton standards and she herself wasn't interested in the beginning. The queen also declared edwina as the season's diamond so all suitors wanted her, that's why Anthony went after her

Anthony said the would propose to the seasons diamond, which was Edwina and Anthony is stubborn.

In the book, Anthony comprised Kate and their mothers caught them. So Anthony was pretty much had no choice but to marry Kate or she would have been ruined.

It is!!!!!! It’s wild

The unseamed crotches were more for access to be able to use the chamber pots.

Yeah, huge contradictions. but guess you avoid sitting down and only having a conversation with a man if you're in a group never one on one. So, if your enjoy a man's company but your friend walks away you likely have to excuse yourself and follow lady friends. makes it difficult to truly get to know them or to be able to choose who you like suiters or throw on you and you must smile be polite and take what others tell you should base of status. Women really had no rights to opinions always expected to please

Never heard of a bit of escapism then?

It’s not completely fictional though, it does show many historically accurate elements.

Yes we sure do! Look at that "time" & how some act nowadays lol. Starkly different & not in a good way, PJs in public is great example 😅

Agreed, it's sad how they pretended. But this century it's politically correct, also it attracts a wider audience which means it's able to make more money. Keeps everyone happy.

It’s a fantasy not reality, it does have historically accurate elements set in reality but it is a fantasy story.

This is a fantastic show. It depicts an era in a situation that people would have love to see. It is also a 2024 show and helps younger people to also dream of "the good sides" of this kind of life, to be allowed to dream :) I think it's a powerfull tool and the show itself is very nice to watch no matter the ethnicities.

That’s so true! It would’ve fitted perfectly, good catch 💫💫

You mean Marina's husband?

I actually completely disagree. I hate Eloise and sit Thomas’s dynamic and much prefer the relationship between Theo and Eloise. Sir Thomas is not the one for her and her book was the worst of all of them.

@@bmzmuffin you are entitled to your opinion, and I believe somehow the creators of the Bridgerton would know what the best way to convey a story and how to make us audience fall in love with whomever Eloise would end up with ☺️ At this point I still need convincing if Theo would be her OTP, and as a work of fiction where the characters are adapted not exactly the same according to books, everything’s possible

Go find a video about men instead of asking about them on a video about women.

You just said it… they had way more freedom. And more privilege. Don’t make about them lol

@sarahthomas8670 I don't make it about them. I just stating facts! Because it's not a competition about who had it worse!

Every child got corporal punishment it was very common. Upper Class Women could not wear knitters because only lower class women wore knitters.

@@sarahthomas8670 Men appeared to have more freedom but the rule's of society were harsh on everyone but only young men could got out to the pleasure gardens and bar at night to cope with it.
