I absolutely despised that in the Bridgerton series, none of the girls were wearing shifts under their corsets. I actually asked my boyfriend about this, he told me straight up, "There is nothing romantic or hot about a guy opening a girl's corset and finding red inflamed holes in her back where the rivets dug in." So, there's that theory filmmakers and TV show makers have, completely debunked by a guy. Not to mention, OW!!

Speaking of rivets, regency era corsets/stays shouldn't have those either!

Can we all take a moment to appreciate not only the time it must have taken to change clothes that many times but also the piles of clothes she also has to put back just to put out an amazing video for us! Thank you!

So THAT is why they use the term "rustling of skirts," because starched petticoats made that sound! That was so surprising and cool! Also, I loved watching this video, seeing someone with a similar frame as me in different historical silhouettes, but also it was just plain fascinating to see the differences! THIS IS WHY we can't just say "1800s outfit" and throw something together, because it changes SO MUCH throughout the period that you have to get specific to the decade (and even the year, like with the early 1820s being relatively regency but late 1820s startling to look more Victorian).

And later towards the end of the 19th century, they went even so far as to have insane silouette changes from one year to the next! We talk about fast fashion today, but considering the intricacy of clothing then vs now and the far longer time it took to make and especially distribute them, late victorians were next level when it comes to fast fashion!

The skills and efforts to have a closet that could turn into a fashion history exhibition, life goals ! You are awesome

If you continue comparing different undergarments etc. throughout the years, I would be interested to see a video that showed how the different undergarments changed the ways you would move around, navigate furniture or stairs, bend and sit down: i.e. what postural and/or clothing adjustments you'd have to make. 🤔🙂

I'm watching this with a fever. My brain currently cannot provide any comment other than "Look at the pretty lady; she likes what she does." (thank spell correct for making that (hopefully) readable.

This was BRILLIANT! I am not quite as curvy as you but as a middle-aged person whose body changed shaped DRASTICALLY after our children were born 25+ years ago, your work lets me see how to best adapt my ideas and expectations for the body I have, not the body our society says I "should." This video, in particular, showing a century of gorgeous silhouettes that are determined by (as you say) proportion not size was just what I needed. Almost ready to try making my first corset...

I’ve been ordering from them for years! As someone with significant health issues, I’m always cold. I was searching for natural fiber, over the knee socks, from a reputable, environmentally friendly company. I love them and every pair of socks from them!

Sew through Time also has a video on 19-teens brassiere, and as she is very well endowed (especially for her size), you can really see just how well they work to support and control the bust. There’s honestly less movement there than you’d get in a modern sports bra, which is really impressive! Also, she’s another very small CosTuber, so go show her some love! She makes very lovely outfits.

Right? I feel like it designed specifically after Matoshi watched one of her videos lol

Missed a prime pun moment, when you said ’all about the undergarments”-you could totally have said ”all about that base!”

I love the three tiered petticoat that stands on its own. I keep thinking that in a different fabric it would make a great fancy skirt. 😆 Thank you for all your videos, it helps me feel less awkward as a plus size cosplayer.

The crinolette is just a weird looking beast. The end silhouette is great, but it is just -- odd. Your Frankin Crinolette is the BEST one I've ever seen. Love this video!

Historical underthings are my favorite! They're just so interesting!

I’m loving these comparison videos! As a plus size lady myself I especially appreciate your candor about measurements, I’ve had a hard time finding examples of proportions for each era. Looking forward to the next!

Even though you’re not wearing all of the undergarments of the time it’s still a lot of clothing! I can’t imagine the laundry that would have to be done in order to keep those petticoats starched and everything clean. Just thinking of what the poor laundress used to go through is enough to make one want to run screaming from the room. And it was awesome of you to put this video together, it must’ve been an awful lot of work. I mean just taking it off and putting on all of those petticoats and corsets, it must’ve taken forever to film! You must be positively double jointed now after all that reaching around to do up the backs LOL I would love to watch anything else that you want to put together. I don’t know enough about costuming or period clothing to know what questions to ask or what sort of videos to request but I will watch anything you put out because I really find you fun to watch.

This was so interesting, how fashion couldn't make up its mind which trends to let go and which trends to revive.

It was wild seeing all the different undergarments in the same frame! Awesome video!

I don't generally like split crotch drawers either...because of the chub rub issue. But I also don't like to fight with putting layers back in place after bathroom usage. Wearing split crotch drawers for me, depends on how long I will be wearing the garments (will potty breaks be necessary while wearing the garments) and the weather (heat and chub rub are the worst). And I'm glad you mentioned that you used a bed skirt for your petticoat. Those eyelet bedskirts are awesome for a pretty lace ruffle on the bottom of the petticoat.

I seem to have lucked out with split crotch drawers. I don't know if it's because I'm exceptionally bootyliscious, or if I actually need a bigger size (I'm sometimes bigger than Truly Victoria's biggest hip size and didn't bother to scale up because it's just underwear), but the bottom of the open part hits right where my legs meet my body, so my thighs are fully protected from chub rub.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have done the bedskirt hack. I have two more modern styled pettis made with bedskirt ruffle and I love them!

OMG The princess slip! I have one of those! Like an original! I didn't know there was a specific name for it and neither did I know what era it was from. The only thing I knew was that is was my great grandmother's. Thank you for mentioning the names and showing a lot of different undergarments! Every now and then I learn something new in things you mention just briefly. As I am from Finland, fashion trends historically was a bit delayed before they came here, but how delayed it was, I cannot say. But now I know that the slip can't be older than the 1910s. But it fits really well, as my grandmother was born in the early 1920s and it make sense, concerning the size of the slip, that she would have worn it in her early adulthood, before she got her children. Because if the slip would still have fitted her after becoming a mother, I don't think it would have been so well perserved as it is now. It is in such good condition that I can wear it without need to worry. And it amazes me how well it fits me, as it means, that I am really close to the same size that my great grandmother was, when she was my age.

So looking forward to cheats! This century is so wild with the ups and down and wandering padding. Great job!

Amazing video imagine being born in 1810 1820 and going through all those changes of petticoats phew.

If you liked fashion and had the money, it would have been exciting and fun.

You are so beautiful, thank you for this video! (Also I like how your starched petticoats say "shoopleshoopleshoople" when you shake them)

Its genius to use bed ruffles for petticoats ! Thanks for sharing, the late 1800's look is very attractive on you !

You are amazing, Lady Rebecca! Cannot thank you enough for the primer on 100 years of undergarments. Honestly, it is still all about the undergarment to achieve "the look" of today...whatever that means, lol.

The thing that honestly was the most helpful to me is that a plus size women can look amazing in historical clothing. My measurements are very similar (except the waist, mine is about 10 inches less than yours) and I am not quiet as tall as you are. So I find you just beautyful and find myself more.... you know. So, finding you amazing and my look on myself is now something I have to think about hard...

This is fascinating and helpful, thank you! I thought of a way you could measure your skirts! You could set up a strong light pointing straight down from above you, and put two pattern weights on the floor, and stand beneath the light and push the pattern weights out to the edges of the shadow and then you can step away and measure the diameter! Of course this only works with round skirts... You'd need help to do bustles and so on... it's an idea, though! Hahaha

Loved all the different comparisons. I saw a 120" cloth tape measure in the upholstery section at JoAnn's that would work to measure those extreme fashions. 😁 Thank you for all the effort you put into bringing us this video. ❤

I really want to wear your super ruffley starched petticoat as a cute summer dress! It i sooo beautiful!

This video is priceless! Books are nice, but this is so much more interesting to look at! Fascinating! I have so much admiration for all the costubers, wish I had these role models as a beginner in my teens!

Just an FYI most places that sell fabric/sewing measuring tapes that generally only go to 60 inches also will sell quilting measuring tapes. They are usually 120 inches long. They cost about 5 dollars US. So if you want a bigger measuring tape search for a quilting one.😊

I cannot believe it has taken me this long to find your channel. Thank you so much for all your body positivity and your amazing quality clothes.

It’s fascinating to see the progression all in one place, I can really see how the various styles change! I love your compassion videos, and I’m really looking forward to the cheats episode.

This is extremely helpful. I never considered that undergarments could change fashion and shape the costume so much. Thank you for this.

Congratulations, that was very impressive. I would like to give a suggestion, it would be very helpful if when you showed an oufit, you included an image of the undergarments (since you have already have them) that go with that outfit. I think it would give a much better understandment of how things work in terms of siluette etc. , especially for those of us that aren't very knowlegble.

I never knew you could utilize so few corsets for so many years. Loved the video, thanks for making it!

Thank you for this awesome video. It definitely gave a better understanding of certain decades of historical costuming that I absolutely love like the Regency Era for example.

This works well for non-plussized folk, too. The only difference I noticed was in the first set where a non-plus-sized person might wear short stays. Thank you for the educational video!

I just stumbled upon your channel, but I think you are going to become one of my favorites. I have been wanting to make a corset for a couple decades. Now that I see what a lovely shape it makes for a plus-sized woman (like myself), it makes me want to run out and make a bunch (in various time periods). Your makeup is exquisite; I never did any good at it and to my chagrin I have never found a nice red that complemented my skin tone. Beautiful.
