In this video we take a deep dive look into the real dresses and fashion history behind the famed Romanov family. The four sisters, the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Nikolaevna ("OTMA"), wore gorgeous gowns, many of which have survived and are in museums and exhibitions today. The history behind these gowns, the materials, and the dress designers will be discussed, along with answering some questions about the gowns, such as how they survived and why the Romanov family used fake pearls.

In the late 90's I went twice to a huge Romanov exhibit in Delaware. So many of the family's clothes, their surviving diaries, Catherine's ceremonial carriage, an Imperial throne, Faberge treasures, family photos - so many wonderful things to see.

I'd love to see their tennis costumes, they mention tennis a lot in their diaries. I'd also love to see some of the embroideries, crochet and other fine crafts by the Tsaritsa's hands. She was an extremely accomplished needlewoman, and I have always wondered whether anything was preserved.

This was so well researched and presented. The lives of the Grand Duchesses were incredibly privileged but they had no agency in those lives. It’s so sad to think about their deaths, but I live to think about the closeness they had in their family. I hope that was some comfort to them.

One thing I love that the dresses point out is the color-distortion caused by black and white photos from back then. The regimental dresses really look nothing like how they look in real life with proper color added.

I just want to comment on Tatianas´s regimental uniform and the colours. The colours blue and yellow are basically the Swedish flag, with a yellow cross on blue background. In old photographs these colours turn out like a Finnish flag looking like a dark (blue) cross on a white background. On the Swedish wikipediapage of the Swedish flag (sadly this part is not translated to English) you can find the information that older photographic plates with the orthochromatic emulsion used at the time were much less sensitive to red light than they were to blue light. In the negatives, this led to underexposure (dark parts) in the blue fields and overexposure (light parts) in the yellow fields. When inverted into photographs, this effect was reversed and produced a light flag with a dark cross. This effect can be seen in photographs from the late 1800s to early 1900s, but is generally only noticable with flags, as you would have no way of knowing in most other cases. Every Swede reacts to the strange Swedish flag in old photographs and the explanation is the technology of the time. So she probably had a yellow breastplate on a blue uniform.

I’ve been reading about this family since I was a little girl, since 1971. I have devoured everything I could get my hands on, which in the 70’s, wasn’t that much. I did get to Standford in 1978 to see photos and articles concerning their captivity and deaths. You know so much more than I and I enjoy learning about the Romanovs, especially these exceptional young ladies. Thank you.

I remember finding photos of the 1913 formal gowns (not the court dresses) on a Russian museum catalogue website back in 2020 or 2021. It really does make you wonder what more dresses of the girls’ are out there just waiting to be found and revealed. The shoulders on those dresses make me wonder if they might have been handed down to Maria and Anastasia for the 1914 formals with the bodice pattern modified. I love the cardigans and knit caps they wore too, they look so comfy.

I am binge watching all your other videos, and even watching the BBC Ghosts. On a side note, my Great Grandmother immigrated to the USA from Russia, just prior to the revolution. My Grandmothers name was Olga, her and her sisters and brother were named after the Romanov Children. I have been and equestrian my entire life and my Grandmother told me I inherited my skills from the Russian side of the family. 😂. I love history and spooky stuff as well! Again THANK you from Colorado, USA❤ Ellen

@ellasinquiries

Thank you for your kind words! The clothes survived, untouched, for several decades, most likely due to the Bolshevik's turning the Alexander Palace into a museum. During WWII, however, the Winter Palace and Alexander Palace were evacuated, and shrouds were needed to cover up the precious furniture and art. The people transporting these objects found the Romanov's clothing, and thought that they would be perfect protective covers, and used them to transport the items!

A lovely presentation! While Marie is my favorite of the girls, I agree with you about Olga's diaries and those of Konstantine Konstantinovich being the most interesting. Since K.R. had no interest in influencing the Tsar in matters of state or participating in political intrigues, he was privy to the Royal chatter of his many relatives, and only repeated what he heard in his diaries. He was a talented, complicated man, and we are lucky to have access to his inner thoughts.

Tragically certain items would have been worn on the night of the demise of 0TMA and subsequently destroyed. These were probably the cardigans. Also items would have worn out. The girls did not have access to many of their belongings during their time in Ekaterinburg. It would be interesting to find out what items are held in the Armoury Museum inside the Moscow Kremlin. The wife of Prince Ioan, Princess Helen of Serbia, mentioned having access to clothing when she was held for a time in Moscow.

Armoury... Mainly - coronation gowns and priest attires. Nothing belonging to the sisters, probably except for jewelry. See, the Kremlin armoury is mostly historically a treasury because it's probably the most guarded of Russian museums. The coronation gowns are there because they're embroidered with jewelry. OTMA's stuff has historical value, but it's not goldwoven.

I believe at one point the Royal family applied for asylum in Britain but the Tsar s English cousin King George feared that it would destabilize his monarchy so said no. I don't believe that anyone could have foreseen the ruthless killing of the entire family. At the time they were held prisoner in Ekaterinburg a civil war was raging between the White's and the Reds and the Red captors feared the Whites would free the Tsar and use them as a rallying point so decided they all had to be destroyed. I am glad the bodies have been recovered and given a proper interment together in death as well as in life.

@lavenderflowersfall280: That sentiment has often been expressed. Nicholas and Alexandra should have worked with Alexander Kerensky to leave the country by crossing with other family members, money and wealth to Vladivostok and then to Australia. How could they possibly think they would be safe remaining in the country.

Yes. I speak because my family whom isn’t supposed to bother us in exile , decided to attack innocent people because of their desire of assets. Their fear that the imperial house will be unavailable to them. Their greed destroyed our freedoms and every day is a hell she has brought upon us. Why am I so vocal here? I am sick of her videos regarding their death. My family was exiled under protection status to he USA because certain members of the Tsars family was his enemy. I never met him as he died before I was born, but I do know the bone of contention was using imperial house assets to build the country and strive for a democratic future with the monarchy holding much but not all of the duma. It’s very sad. We are just normal people who don’t want any part of that family, yet they hunt us still. So much for secretive exile.

Really amazing these dresses and uniforms survived all the chaos in Russia in 1918. The two older daughters were considered as potential brides for European royalty. With the hemophilia gene likely carried by at least some of the girls, they could have passed it further into other royal families.

Indeed, DNA analysis found that Maria was the carrier of the haemophilia gene. Diaries, letters, and memoirs also suggest that she showed some traits of this, such as bleeding more than normal during an operation.

​@@ellasinquiriesreally? From what _I_ read, besides Alexej of course being a hemophiliac, _Anastasia_ was the (only!) one of the daughters who was found to be a carrier... - ah well, either way, it was only one of them; but they couldn't have known back then. And so each of them would have been "under suspicion". 😞 Just like Queen Ena's daughters... 😞🤷

Are these dresses in the hermitage museum?

Hi, yes! Most of them are. I have tried to put the location of the dresses wherever possible, for example "Tsarskoe Selo Museum Preserve" and "Hermitage Museum". If you search "Grand Duchess" on the Hermitage Museum website, you can get quite a few results :) Thank you for watching!

You mention Olga & KR being very honest in their diaries. Who is KR?
@ellasinquiries
@ellasinquiries 10 ай бұрын
Great question! KR was Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, who went by 'KR', for Konstantin Romanov. He was a grandson of Nicholas I, so was a relative of the last Tsar and his family. KR was a poet and playwright, and translated lots of English plays into Russian, which he and his family performed. His diaries were published in the 1990s and many historians were astonished by their contents: he was very frank about his life and opinions, and his diaries revealed that he had been struggling with his sexuality for years. He is a fascinating figure! I hope that this answered your question :)

Was one of the girls smoking in one of the last pictures?🤔

Yes! Anastasia is smoking, she was about 15-16 in that photo. All of the girls smoked and wrote about it a lot in letters to their father. It was believed to have health benefits!

It is too bad the dresses are not displayed on full forms instead of hangers where they hang sort of sad & folorn. Also I notived some of the crocheted or silk flower details are kind of curled so as to give the appearance of not being steamed or ironed properly. Overall display presentation is sloppy...wrinkled, sagging & limp.

The recent exhibition at the Hermitage Museum are using mannequins, which looks much better than hangers in my opinion. Unsure about the conservation processes (if any) which have been taken, but I agree that hanging them limply certainly doesn't help!

So terrible that the dresses were needlessly damaged to protect other items.

At least this way, we may still see, study and admire them. Better than the likely alternative- burned or sold for rags. Many of the magnificent , priceless jewels were dismantled and sold as scrap... 😞

Anastasia's dresses are surprisingly historically accurate
