honestly, if i were trying to market a fashion product, i would intentionally cut the model's face out of the photos just to ensure the focus is all on the product alone. . plus i personally just hate it when sights (legit or otherwise) show the clothing item in a full outfit and not on it's own. Like i want only proper product photos of just that item with a plain, solid colour background. no faces, no hands, no anything extra. I just want to see proper, object product shots of a front and back flat lay photos and front and back fit photos. like if its a skirt. the fit photos should only be from the waist down to the hem or knees. if it's a shirt, the fit photo should only be from the waist up to the collar bone. I want clean, clear, objective shots where i can clearly see everything that's going on with the product. drives me nuts when i order something and it looks good in the staged photos on the sight and then it arrives and everything is the same but there's some weird ruffle i don't like that was hidden by another garment in the photo or by the model's hair or their pose. . plus the whole reason people even just started including the faces of models in product photos for fashion is to try and sell the idea that if you (the consumer) buys their product, then your face and body will magically become as pretty as the model's using subliminal marketing. which i personally hate. it also distracts you from the product (at least slightly) and may make you more likely to buy something you don't actually need/want because your subconscious brain is like "the model is pretty so i guess what they're wearing is pretty" even when you would normally think the clothing product is ugly when viewed on it's own or on a dress form. even makeup and jewelry product photos should just be close up shots of the one relevant body part and never part of a full face shot in my personal opinion on less what's being advertised is a bundle and even then it's should really only include the products being sold in the bundle. . the goal of product photos is to show off the item being sold and I personally feel like it's false advertising when other products are being used in the product photos for only one item. there should be a separate "inspiration" or "lookbook" section (where it would also be okay to show the models' faces) on websites where you can see different products being used in tandem to give customers an idea of how different things work together but those combo photos should not be used on the actual product listings. . for context, i just finished a college program about website design and management that had whole sections on marketing and advertising including how to shoot proper product photos. and subliminal marketing is one of my biggest personal pet peeves. it's just really gross to me. and there is a HUGE difference between a separate inspo sections and subliminal marketing on actual product listings. just that little separation in the placement of 1 photo can change how it effects your perception of things based on context and how you subconscious interprets and processes that context.

You sound like when people watch Food Network or a Gordon Ramsey show like Masterchef or Hells Kitchen while eating their Ramen noodles but shake their head in disgust at the contestants.

"Everyone should know how to sew." This resonated so much in me. My dad was a tailor, his dad (my grandpa) was a tailor, too, along with some of his brothers. Their family made a living out of making clothes. In the 4th grade during Home Ec, we were taught how to sew and I picked it up naturally. It has helped me a lot even at the simplest most mundane level of mending clothes; button came off of a shirt, no problem; belt loops of pants got undone, no worries. It's basic, yes, but the utility of having such a skill that's gone quite underappreciated in a fast-fashion world is immense. Thank you, Bernadette, for your wisdom!

My mom was pretty short but had wide hips. Her pants fit her hips but would be way too long. When I got a machine hemming her pants took about 5 minutes per pair so it really came in handy. Recently my husband bought me an expensive wiggly kitty pillow and a seam on the cat came undone so I took a couple minutes to resew the 3 inches and it's good as new. My grandma taught me to sew when I was 5 because the clothes that came with dolls were just terrible so all my dolls had pretty designer dresses instead of the ugly, cheap clothes that came with them. I mended army uniforms because they're expensive and they don't have to look perfect when it's the "jump out of a plane" uniform. I don't make garments, the most complicated thing I made was a dog harness but just having basic skills have really come in handy. Like I wasn't going to toss out a 60$ kitty pillow because 3 inches of it came undone.

@@bernadettebanner Bernadette, aside from the egregious copyright/design infringement in this particular case, fast fashion is the democratization of fashion. The vast majority of the world (even in the USA) can't afford to pay $1,600 for one garment or lacks the skills/time to make a dress like this. It's elitist to vilify mass produced (non-couture) manufacturers AND the people that buy mass produced clothing just because they can't afford to buy one-of-a-kind, expensive, labor intensive garments; but still desire them. Also as a side note, you're pricing this dress based on the NYC pricing of fabric and USA minimum wage. $40 is a LOT of money for China.

quite comparable to a somewhat more expensive than average bespoke suit. fun how that works!

I grew up in a house where we used clothes until they were rags, literally. My mam wanted us to always be dressed well, so we had a system. New clothes would be for occasions. Going out for a meal, Christmas, any sort of family gathering or event. Then, once the clothes got a bit more worn they would become everyday clothes for going out, running errands, etc. Then, once they started to show more psychical signs of wear, they would become clothes for wearing around the house. Because of this, even when we were just chilling at home we would be dressed decently enough, which was very important where I grew up. The last stage of the clothes life was to be cut up and used for all sorts of random stuff, like patching up other clothes and sewing rag dolls. Now as an adult, I don’t still use this method but I do try to be as sparing as possible. I don’t buy many clothes, but just try to make them last. Just thought I’d share this, because it is an interesting method of using clothes to their fullest. It’s quite old fashioned but it can certainly be effective.

Yeah, and trying to monetize can also suck the joy out of it. I usually either gift my stuff, occasionally sell a few items at ren faires. My favorite thing is trading with other craftspeople, which a lot of my friends are!

Honestly i've for years i never had any sort of interest on fashion so i've always just worn whatever i thought was cute and flattering for myself regardless of time, so i always end up having clothing i've been able to wear for 5+ years, literally just wearing clothes until they wear out or i grow out of them physically- which i find is a more natural and logical way to buy clothing? i just never understood the act of buying new clothes every year entirely based on the season's fashion trend and then getting rid of it- and while i've developed a bigger interest on fashion as of the last couple years, i still stand by preferring to buy something i know i'll wear for long rather than buying something i'll throw away- plus ive taken a liking for buying hand crafted clothing, i have a seamstress from who i often order clothing, and she can make high quality stuff that will last me longer, plus i get to commission completely custom clothing that fits my body and tastes perfectly. i get why people prefer to buy from a store, its cheap and quick, but i think that commissioning custom clothing from a talented craftman is way more worth it than people think

Totally agree. I wear my clothes until I can't mend them any more. If a seam comes loose or a button falls off, I can fix that. I have several pairs of jeans that I bought in 1998-2003 so they are 20-25 years old and still good - the buttons have been reattached a couple of times and I had to restitch some seams but the fabric is mostly still good. My grandma taught me some basic clothes mending skills and how to use a sewing machine. I rarely ever buy clothing these days - what I bought as a young adult still fits and the clothes 20 years ago were better made than the crap they are selling these days. Also, the style fits me better. I don't pay attention to fashion trends, I look at what's comfortable and flattering and I'd expect a semi-decent quality - not like hand-made but the fabric should be good quality to last and the cut should fit me. If the seams are not very well made, I can fix that. I also buy clothing from thrift stores because they tend to be better quality.

When I “outgrew” my empire waist maxi dresses, I turned them into elastic waist midi skirts-and still have them as I’d made them myself with quality fabric. More amazing: in 1977 I bought 2 men’s short-sleeve shirts that were of quality material and construction despite being sold in a grocery store-and am STILL wearing them! They don’t even look faded or worn. They even came with a spare placket and a spare collar button attached to the inside. 46 years. PS-I made throw pillows and quilt patches from the bodices and sleeves of those maxi dresses.

Given how much a mess the rest of American copyright laws are and how much they're based on the whims of massive international corporations like Disney, it's probably for the best they made that decision.

Just found this channel and I just got to say that this reminds me of one of the topics my Mother in Law and I have discussed over time; the 'Disposable Society' or 'Throw away' society. Basically it's about how we as a society have been taught that it is okay and expected to use perfectly good items only for a short time before getting rid of them for latest model as well as that using disposable items is supposed to be 'convenient', 'time-saving' and ultimately necessary in our daily grind.

I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but I had to watch the whole thing. The exceedingly polite rage, clear expertise on the topic, obvious skill in sewing, and natural elegance of you yourself just had me captivated from beginning to end. Also, I know you don't, but if you wanted to sell your historical recreations of these dresses I am 1000% sure that you would have enough buyers in your niche to regularly sell your dresses for at least $2000 to $3000. If there are women that will spend thousands on a single name brand handbag, there are definitely women who would pay 5 or 6 times the $1600 price you quoted in the video. Especially fans of steampunk cosplay and renaissance fair cosplays to name 2 off the top of my head.

"Politely enraged" should give you the impression that, as opposed to a rampaging gorilla, she was very angry but had a civilized restraint. This should be evident in the first minute of the video and the LONG spiel about industrialized clothing in the later half of the video. If anything it's a minor exaggeration.

I grew up with a Mom that made all my clothes. She was an amazing seamstress. I'm ashamed to say I did not appreciate it at all as a child. When I complained about looking different she would tell me to "set my own style". By the time I was in middle school I had embraced this to the point of becoming a punk. A real one in that is with a total DIY and not something I bought in a store. When I eventually got out of college and got a job my Mom was again a lifesaver as she made me work clothes I could never have afforded to buy. One of the last pieces she made me before her arthritis made it impossible for her to sew was an amazing dress for the millennial New Years. I felt like freakin' Scarlet O'Hara in that dress, although it was more a 50's style silhouette than an 1860's. She put so much love into everything she made for me.

We arrived at this situation because governments around the world allowed companies and corporations to move their manufacturing to China, thus releasing them from paying decent wages to its own citizens and thus also allowing them to reap exorbitant profits. Meanwhile, Western countries such as Australia and the USA are suffering from a lack of employment for its citizens. The result is that we all now suffer from having to wear cheap, ill-fitting and mostly ugly clothing. I also note that 'fashion' is now being determined by making clothes with as little fabric as possible.

@@DetectiveNyx This is just a reasonable take. If stuff can more easily be produced at one place because of natural resources, climate etc. that's great. Silk should come from China. But not all (or at least 95%+) the textile and pharmaceutical products should come from there just because it is easier to exploit workers and dispose of chemical waste in Asia then in Western countries. It's bad for everyone except the people making profit on other's backs.

@@DetectiveNyx Not at all. EVERYTHING is made in China. A quick look at the labels on everything in your house, or everything in Walmart, will prove that. No, I am not saying literally 100% of everything is made in China, I am using hyperbole for rhetorical purposes. That means that a significant portion of our economy is reliant on China. And you're right that I don't care about fashion, but it's still a significant part of the economy, and it's not the only thing so often made in China - technology is, too. So are toys. Medicine. That means a HUGE part of our economy, not to mention the ability to mess with our tech and medicine, is in Chinese hands. China is a sovereign nation separate from the US, which alone is a good reason to worry. It is NOT good politics to let ANY other political entity have that much potential leverage over you. Also, China's current records include... let's see... genocide, the political murder of their own citizens, lying to cover up COVID, and mass intellectual theft. Yeah, they don't sound like the sort of people we should trust with such a significant slice of our economy, even if they DIDN'T hate our guts - which they do. Giving them this much of a role in our economy is dangerous.

Not to blame the system, but id say society for the most part has gone away from hand made crafts and the fact that everyone (probably including me) are just oblivious to it and people just want available clothes over handmade. That being said, i wear all of my shirts till they become holey and then make them into cut offs for summer and or outside work and will beat that shit to the ground. Otherwise, i donate. Also as a kind of "hypebeast" (try not to cringe hear me out) i have a different look into clothes and shoes and such thats made me have a WAY higher appreciation for qualtity and the story of the item. But a sad fact is people just dont care about clothes. They just wear them.

It has more to do with companies (both local and international) abusing cheap labour in China and SE Asia, and, well, people wanting cheap goods. Remember that 90% of the humans (everyone living outside of EU, North America & Japan/South Korea) earn much less than a thousand dollars/Euros a month. It's silly paying 2500$ for a costume when that could feed your family for the better part of a year. And yeah, Chinese environment is completely screwed... my friend who worked as a dance coach in China had to return to Europe because _he started coughing blood_ from inhaling too much smog. Locals get used to it over decades living like that. Russia has a similar problem to China in its Asian part where factories completely destroy habitable life. Plus radiation from the failed nuclear tests. That too... there, people think that a $40 dress is too much so they buy cheap alcohol instead.

In general, the internet is theft. Who's going to put the effort into writing a well-reasoned essay when someone can just copy it and post it themselves for free? Steal videos etc. So the next wave of the internet is to create click-bait using other people's work to sell nickel and dime advertisements. Ergo, discourse has been lowered. So, I guess I'm making the parallel with fashion, 100 people spend a lot of time working on ideas and maybe one of them makes some connection with the public, but why bother when some fast fashion company can copy that in a few days and distribute it in months and then have a team of lawyers who don't even have to win the argument that you didn't create it, they just need to bankrupt you.

I watched this video back when it was released, it popped back up on my recommended and I just had to rewatch.

Here's to showing back up in another three years! 😂❤

Thank you Bernadette! I don’t remember how you ended up on my KZread feed but I’m glad you did. Mending and clothes was something I was taught when I was younger, I needed that reminder. I have been trying to be conscious with buying clothes, and only do so when really needed. I love your channel and you have inspired me to actually start some hobbies that I have put on the back burner, i.e. embroidery, etc. I also see you doing a series on vintage dress. I had seen some on PBS and wish there was more. Looking forward to watching more of your videos while I retract myself on how to mend and re/up-cycle my older pieces. Take care! ❤❤❤

She said she's a historian, by trade, and only makes these one-off historical recreations on the side. I imagine she's well-read, but also you should check out her videos on letter-writing, quill pens etc. I'm sure she's invested time into her elocution, if she's interested in recreating the lovely prose found in victorian correspondence.

This tutorial was extremely educational. I have been sewing literally all my life. I have dresses in my closet that I sewed nearly 50 years ago. You are absolutely correct when you say that a garment can last a very long time when made with quality materials and sewn with care and patience. My closet is filled with heirloom quality garments that I will instruct my daughters what they should keep and what they need to give away. I went to a Fashion Design School in San Franciso in the early 70's. I love, love, love period clothing. I hope I finish my 1883 period dress before I leave this world. I am so very pleased that I discovered you on You Tube! Thank you!

I remember the first time going to a Renaissance Fair, being drawn into a stand where they were selling all those pretty, historical costumes with the alure 50-60% off! Me looking at a small, velvety silk jacket, 50% off still like $500-something dollars! Me: This style of cosplay is too expensive for my broke ass!

It seems to me that you have little understanding about the economies of scale, agglomeration effect, purchasing power parity, price level, or the exchange rate. Had labour be the only contributing factor to production, textile industries could have long transferred themselves entirely to Indonesia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Congo, Guinea... just dropping few names here that, when concerted to USD, have far cheaper manual labour compare to China. Your comment highlights what perhaps may be considered facts in in late 19th century in the US, but certainly too obsolete for the production well after the third industrial revolution.

Thank you for this video. I've never been one to care too much about fashion and clothing, mostly getting hand me downs and clothes from thrift stores. So I never really noticed the impact that considerations like, type of fabric, the progression of style or the quality of production had in the larger concept of mass consumption plaguing our current world. Being aware of this has motivated me more than ever to know how to sew, by hand and by machine. I've always wanted to know how to sew, partially because it's a useful skill to know, and partially because I can't afford quality 15th century re-creation gowns. I've finally gotten the time and motivation to do so because of an upcoming renaissance faire, and your videos are so helpful and informative. So thank you so much for making them, I hope you keep up the great work!
