sticky outty dress? is that the technical term lol
There are so many things to say about corsetry, but one I wish was brought up more often is: they’re still worn. They’re often built right in to those red carpet dresses. That’s how those strapless looks stay up, and how those giant skirts don’t drag down the actors wearing them.
Funny no-one fusses over a contemporary woman striding down a red carpet bending a rib. And no-one faints either.
Alice the constant professional
Very knowledgeable on the subjects that she discusses.
From your American friend 🇺🇲👍👍
That Kylie Jenner dress is ghastly.
What fun content! Alice clearly was happy to take part in this historic fashion show. Well done!
Alice arrives at the fashion museum wearing what the ladies of the past would have considered almost a shift. Incomplete under clothes.
This is such a awesome place to make things accessible to the public and easy to try on.
I liked all the dresses except that pink “fluffy” one from the 20th/21st century. It was too revealing and needed an underskirt or petticoat.
I love how Alice did the runway model bit while wearing the Georgian and Victorian attire! 😁
I think women’s clothing were more intricately and carefully made before the 1960’s. I find most of the women’s clothing styles of the 19th century beautiful.
Alice not only looks and dresses like a teenager, she acts like one. The purpose of a corset wasn’t to “suck one in”, it was to support the bust, and give the foundation and shape for the dress. Also, early on, many dress parts were pinned to the stays/corsets.
This is my sweet spot. The intersection of history and fashion, and how they inform each other. Give us more please!!!
I’m a bit confused why if they alkready cheat with the cuts they not simply use Velcro to make the back closures more adaptable to different figure types? Half the time the reporter is grabbing her back to make the cloth a bit tighter…
hooks and ears… you mean like most bras to this day have?
I just put this on for Alice Loxton lol
I liked your green dress best! 😂
Why have the gowns tried on by anyone? They all appear to be 2 to 4 sizes too large and just hang on her shoulders.
Just visited the fashion museum in Bath earlier this month. While the play costumes are the focus of this video, the actual historic dresses on display are breathtaking. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into historical fashion.
