Sarah has the perfect period face! She's so adorable and polite, a proper 19th century lady. ❤

One of the most striking things about this interview is the amazing posture both ladies exhibit. They are both upright and relaxed which makes them look so graceful and elegant and confident.

She is so stinkin cute when she talks about her husband. 😊 It's obvious that she not only loves him, but she enjoys him. Great interview!

The first thing I’ve notice is how perfect these ladies’ postures are

I just love her! I'm so happy that they haven't let people discourage them from doing what they want and living as they wish

I find it fascinating. I can't believe people are rude. They are not hurting anyone and they enjoy and thats the main thing.

I have always been interested in the Victorian era. I have decorated my house with every thing Victorian. I wish they had a place where you could experience living in the Victorian times. Wear the clothing etc. Live in the homes. Of course I prefer the wealthy side ,, The beautiful dresses and homes .

You would like “The Henry Ford” in Michigan, when your there try to look past the commercialism and enjoy.

Corsetry intrigues me. The posture in this video is stunning!

She’s having so much fun in her life. I think that has to be one of the greatest lessons of the interview. Enjoy YOUR life.

She mentioned the economic times in the 1890s. People don't realize how strong, resilient and self-reliant people were during hard times. Interesting to note: It was the rare individual that wasn't touched with death. There was the Spanish flu going around as well as other diseases. Yet people didn't mourn forever. They understood the circle of life. They generally didn't get overly depressed for long periods of time and they didn't commit suicide because they lost a loved one. The people knew their Bible and depended on it for reliable comfort and solace. They had family, friends, neighbors and their church congregation to uphold them in difficult times.Today, if people don't get the candidate they want, they have a breakdown and burn down the city. There's alot we can learn from our prudent, wise great-grandparents.

She’s lovely! She speaks in such a lovely way! What a lovely guest!

I think it's awesome that she and her husband are living the life that they want to live. All of the people who criticize them need to get a life of their own...and they also need to understand that this couple doesn't have to explain themselves to anyone!

People take issue becasue they have criticised the modern world. We have amazing advances in medicine and technology we have the internet for Christ's sake. I'm Goth I base a lot of my beliefs off the ancient Egyptiansand the religion Thelema . Ancient egyptian makeup is thousands of years old way older than the Victorian era . So yeah live ure life but when u criticize others ure gonna get fallback off that . Which they have done in other videos. Victorian era did not wear tons of eyeliner like Goths and ancient Egyptians. Do I criticize Victoria are no it just isn't my path .

Sarah is correct about the coreset, if it fits you correctly it can be more comfortable than regular clothing. I do reenactments of the earlier part of the Victorian era. The clothes depending on what the weather is can be more warmer than a lot of the coats of today

I also love the Victorian era. My fascination began with Queen Victoria herself. I am also a great BIG fan of the Civil War period spawned by Gone with the Wind. And yes Lucy, this is where my admiration of Corsetry began just like you. I look forward to reading both books, Sarah’s & yours. I would love to live like Sarah does!! She is so genteel & sweet, even her mannerisms are Victorian!

I like Sarah. This was a sweet interview. However, I wish that it was much more in depth. There are so many things I'd like to know... How do they handle toileting? Do they use chamber pots; do they have an indoor "outhouse', which was called a gardeloo? How do they dispose of the waste? How do they get their ice? Does she ever wear pants? Do they have children? [Victorian families tended to be large.] Do they use Victorian methods of birth control? What does Gabriel do for a living? Do they have modern insurance? Do they pay income tax? Does Gabriel know how to drive a car? Do they keep up with events in the world around them? Do they have a phone? Do they have a well? Do they have a pump in the sink? Does their water freeze in the winter? Do they heat with coal? Do they use modern hygiene products [shampoos, and deodorants], canned goods, take vitamins? How do they wash clothes? Do they go to the store for their products, [How often? How do they keep meat really fresh, - or are they vegan?] or do they order from one of those old fashioned catalogs?

How this particular couple deals with the juxtaposition of the modern world and Victorian world is an interesting one. I imagine it's a blending of some of both worlds.

Sad that people question her lifestyle choice but uphold women that are forced to wear religious coverings...she's respectful of others and should receive the same...shame modern feminists cannot distinguish this lady from religions that treat women like property.

So very nice. The same reasons I like the Victorian era...the politeness,the understanding we all make separate choices,and have the right to pursue our own lives. There were restrictions but they allowed for more freedom also ,so it worked in duality. Love the fashions,the furnishings,more creative outlets in everyday things,imagination was encouraged and needed.

I have studied the Victorian age extensively and while it was a fascinating era, I must say with all truth I am very glad to be living in this era, thank you!

LandofJadeNRocco Journals and Planners I noticed that and to me it came across as sweet. I thought it seemed like she was taking the time to think genuinely about how to best answer the question she’d been asked. Very confident without arrogance. It amazes me how much she even looks like she is from that era. Her smile, mannerisms and soft approach. She does not seem like a controlled, suppressed woman at all. Quite the opposite. She clearly is extremely intelligent and educated. I love how she speaks of her husband with admiration but not “worship”. Watching videos of this couple has dispelled so many assumptions I had about what they are like. It intrigues me so much. I find her confidence and modesty to be incredibly refreshing. I think it just goes to show that femininity is attractive. She has me thinking so much about how alluring being mild mannered, elegant and modest can be. She is so classy and interesting.

Sam Poulin when I last visited them, they didn't have immediate plans to have children but they treat this as an interesting ongoing project in a way; they've basically said that they'll keep it going until one or both of them stop enjoying it. They're adamant about not forcing their lifestyle on others though, and they've said that they wouldn't do anything that would hold a kid back in life or make them ill-prepared for functioning in the modern world. I'm paraphrasing of course, because this conversation happened over 5 years ago. They're very reasonable people though.

I wonder about her childhood….

So why did women stop wearing them ?? I think it makes women figure nice looking
