    Apart from Miss Crocombe, this is my new favourite series. Such fun! 👏🏽
  • Fashion history is one of may absolute favorite topics, I can definitely see this series becoming a favorite! The Victorian era fashions were so distinct and ever-changing that they could probably carry several episodes on their own.
  • Please correct me if i’m wrong but i think the girl need to wear gloves if she goes outside. On another note, i think it would be much more enjoyable if you put some classical music instead of this modern one.

    Always enjoy a 'peak behind the curtain' (or close up look) of these historical sites or they precious exhibits. I got one little critique though, which I hope you won't mind. The editing and choice of (elevator) music didn't quite go with the theme of the video, imo. Especially with the garden scenes. It's not a big deal, but music from the time period in question and no weird editing tricks would have been less unintentionally funny.
  • It's great to see Serena Dyer on here. I love her YouTube channel!
  • That bonnet didn’t protect not even a millimeter of her face. Pure fashion!
  • We need another episode about the other styles of the Victorian era

    As the owner of the original dress that was used to create the pattern for the brown sheer dress I was delighted to see it in this video in the reproduction fabric that matches the original as much as possible today. The pattern was modified to have the dress fabric and the lining sewn together at the center front opening instead of the common practice on gathered bodice dresses of that era with only the lining fastening and the dress fabric laying smoothly and not requiring fastenings. A minor detail, especially when the dress was worn without the all important white collar. They were basted inside of all the dresses of that era. Even low neck dresses would have a gathered white cotton net "tucker" basted inside the neckline and just peeking out along the edge, which were replaced when skin oil and perspiration soiled it while wearing. That is also why chemises had cap sleeves, usually with double layer gussets under the arms to protect the dress from perspiration. Those errors make me wonder about any other possible inaccuracies about the clothing of other eras in the series.

    The organdy dress is marvelous. Simple, light, flattering, comfortable. Would love a modern version.

    Yeeeeeeeeeees! I was wondering when you'd do something of the sort!
  • My 5 year old daughter is obsessed with Victorian fashion. You made her day.
