I don't know what it was about Victorian era,

Like usually when ... when I see something really weird and old,

nine out of ten cases, it's from the Victorian era.

And I mean, like, home decoration, fashion

Like, they just had so many grotesque things and I'm not sure why

There's just something about, like, Victorian aesthetic

that's like so kitsch, grimy and weird sometimes,

That is why today we're going to delve into

Some of them are a bit overrated, I mean.

Sometimes you hear those things about Victorian era and you tend to believe those things

just because it was a long time ago and we dont really know what happened

And, you know, anything that's weird seems believable,

but it's not always the case and there's a lot of stereotype

that weren't as bad as we think they were.

But some of those things actually existed and,

I'm gonna start off with things they didn't know were wrong.

It's weird because they knew it was kind of connected--

but for some reason they didn't - it didn't quite click.

So there's this shade of green that's called

And the pigment was used as a coloring pigment.

So obviously that doesn't sound like a great idea, but

like, there was a lot of chemicals that they didn't really

So they were just wearing arsenic dresses.

So obviously that is not the best idea they ever had

and it's not like anyone who wore a dress like that died instantly.

intoxicating your body and if you really liked that shade of green and if you

surrounded yourself with items like that. For example, your wallpapers might get wet--

there is just some kind of chemical reaction

that can lead to you breathing in those chemicals it

it doesn't have to be that big amount of arsenic to kill you.

So that is why you could literally be dressed to kill! ...

Again, I think nowadays it's a bit stereotyped because it's such a ridiculous thing.

Like why would you dye your clothes with arsenic?

But I'm not sure to what extent it was actually

used and to what extent it actually caused people to die, literally.

But it sure affected their health heavily

as if there weren't enough things in the 19th century that could easily kill you.

So another thing, which is kind of gross, but it's also kind of cool depending on how you see

So basically there was this trend to decorate your dresses with beetles -- not beetles as in, like, whole

bugs, but they used beetle wings that actually look really cool,

and I can kind of see why because it looks - like the color is really vibrant.

Okay, so when I first heard about this, I was kind of like that sounds gross,

like, why would you use pieces of insects

to decorate your dress and, like, what form can it even have? Like, are you gonna just put a huge beetle

Or like are you gonna use the legs and like put them in some sort of ornaments?

But then I saw the actual dresses and, boy, was I hooked. Like, they look amazing.

Basically, you can't really tell that those used to be

Insects or, like, bugs and just the color is so vibrant and so pretty and it's also shiny.
