Hi! So today I'll be showing you how to tell different 19th century fashion

decades apart. We're not going to be talking about what affected fashion but

so to understand what was going on at the beginning of a new century let's

1790s were a  transition period. A new slender

silhouette came to fashion but it took a while till the ladies got rid of their

That's why in some Jane Austen movie adaptations you can still see the older

generation wearing older 18th century gowns, while the youngsters are dressed

So in 1790s the waist gradually went higher, the skirts

got narrower, the hair smaller (though ladies still used to powder them), turbans

and ostrich feathers were the thing. Sleeves were usually elbow length.

What's typical for the era is that the skirts were gathered at the back of the dress

but also in front. That's why when we look at some of the 1790s fashion plates

nowadays all of the ladies look kind of pregnant. Also if you look at the back of

a late 1790s or early 1800s dress you can notice a very peculiar cut.

The sleeves heads were pushed back towards the shoulder blades and the back of the

dress was very short with the shortest point being in the center.

Women would even pad this bit of the skirt to make it look fuller.

Despite a circulating stereotype this new silhouette did not make women toss

corsets away. Some brave French fashionistas were not wearing them

that's true but corsets never completely disappeared

Mainly because the new silhouette required your bust to basically touch your chin.

And what better way to achieve that than some good old push-up bra?

The beginning of the 1800s saw the death of the heavily powdered hair

and classicism inspired hair-dos became all the rage.

Women would style their coiffures after antique sculptures and paintings.

The dresses also changed. Everyone got crazy about light delicate fabrics.

The skirts' trains were getting longer and longer, the busts were higher than ever

By 1810 the super long trains were no longer in fashion (no longer, get it? haha)

the skirts got wider and they became more trapezoidal in shape.

The waist began gradually dropping around 1815.

Also the later in the decade the more decoration on the everyday outfits.

Grecian and Roman Hairstyles were adapted into a very popular look which

included curls on both sides of the face together with an intricate updo.

1820s were a transitional period from a classical empire silhouette to the

So the skirts got wider and wider shorter and shorter

the waist drop lower and lower the sleeves grew bigger and bigger and more

and more decorations started to appear on the dresses.

padded to help achieve the trapezoidal shape.

Women would wear multiple petticoats some of them stiffened by cording or

horsehair to hold the volume of the skirts that were now shorter than ever.

They even wore special sleeve supports to make the sleeves bigger.

but still a bit higher than ladies' natural waists.

Thanks to Queen Victoria who was coronated in 1837 modesty and minimalism

From 1836 everything started decreasing, the sleeve puffs started

moving downwards, the decoration started disappearing, the skirts were back to

floor length, the updos got flat and in the late 1830s the waist finally reached

1840s were a decade of earthy colors, fitted pointy bodices,

and fitted sleeves, tight collars usually separately attached, and small

Basically everything got tighter and the only

thing that kept growing was the width of women's skirts that required more and

Popular hair style was a low bun and the middle parting and that with

some minor modifications was a hot look up until the late 1860s.

In the 1850s the problem of growing skirts became so big (big, got it?) that it was necessary to

develop a special construction to help them stay in shape and not floppy.

That construction was called crinoline and it was patented in 1856.

Now note that the crinoline did not exist until then so if you hear about

18th century crinolines, that's absolute nonsense.

18th century ladies were hoop skirts or panniers.

1850s skirts were often ruffled which is an

easy way to tell them apart from 1840s skirts.

in 1850s were wide and called pagoda sleeves.

white sleeves underneath so they could peek from the pagoda sleeves.

The waist dropped a little bit below the actual waist level and got longer in the front

Plaid dresses were all the rage as well as floral motives.

After the waist reached its lowest point in

1850s it started going a little bit above the natural waist level in the 1860s.

Buttoned bodices became fashionable, the ruffled plaid skirts were gone and

instead plain solid colors were in fashion, with geometrical trimmings such

so did the shape of the crinoline underneath, accentuating the back.

Apart from being gathered or pleated at the waist some skirts were also made of panels.

From about 1867 the transitional period started.

expanding on decreasing would start getting more volume at the back

It would also gradually become more and more decorated.
