being forced to be social to find a husband is wild… i’m as introvert and socially awkward as they come yet my boyfriend is the exact opposite ✨scandal✨
During those times you would have never met any guys being sheltered and the coming out would be the first and only chance of being around guy so only chance at husband
This channel is the sole reason I might endure this dreadful longing for the next season😂
Same.
same
Same
the period thing is crazy. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to not have any underwear or any period products whatsoever
I could never
Isn’t there a risk that they would drip on their shoes?
especially since it also says that a lady MUST attend all social events... like, if I'm bleeding and I cannot wear anything to protect or soak up the blood, like hell would I go to a ball or take a garden stroll for a whole week until it's well and truly over!!!
@@garcia207 yeah or the floor
1 there were undergarments wherever you heard that was lying. They turned into knickers and tights. In fact regency undergarments were very similar in look to modern day knickers. 2 when on one’s period you would be permitted to abstain from social gatherings because of illness. They also had rudimentary pads made of moss or if you were fancy cotton and linen. They didn’t just bleed everywhere.
Whenever women romanticize this period in time and wish they could go back, I cringe. Your life IF you were wealthy, was filled with endless days of forced socialization, numerous clothing changes, instructions on "how to be a lady OR ELSE!," and being courted IF you were lucky, by men, you probably didn't want to marry anyway accept if it meant finally being able to free yourself from the rigors of the marriage market...but then came your endless life of having babies to make heirs and being bored before you became the same "mama" that you loathed when you were young doing that for your daughters.
@@mahtra.2372 I never said the people of this time period were stupid. My comment is about "modern women" who romanticize this era and make it seem so wonderful because, "look pretty dresses, men swooning," but don't realize that women had no land, no inheritance, no rights to vote, no ability to work, no freedom to move about without another woman or their husbands and most if they had to wear these dresses everyday, and change out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, walking about, balls, would actually hate it. This was not an easy time period for women, and it only got worse if you had no wealth to your name, you became a young widow, or you had no male heirs.
All those rules applied to the wealthy girls, poor girls had very different lives .
I heard about the gloves rule from pride and prejudice when mr darcy holds elizabeths bare hand when he helps her in the carriage.
That straight wooden ruler was actually called a “Busk”, and at that type of stays (still called that way) was No boned at all, sometimes was cordered but that stability was provided by the busk, also Tight lacing was not a fashion, and existed short and full stays, variating person by person. Short stays are sometimes shorter than the rib cage, and it’s very similar like a top or bra of today. At long stays, the busk also provided stability, because with none boning at it, the pressure of the dress and body needs to end at some point and the busk helped to recibe it and distribute.
Informative details. Thank you for sharing
And they were worn by women of all classes. If you didn't, you were considered to be 'loose'
while it is highly looked down upon, it does happen, look at Edwina and Kate's mother, she married a clerk, yet society was able to accept them back after a period. I feel like Eloise might end up with Theo, but the possibility of her ending up with Sir Philip Crane is there too, however the introduction of the Sharma mother marrying beneath her/for love, even Kate herself, I hate to say but kates statues is equal to theo's, since her bio mother and father were low class statues, the only reason shes in this upper class society is because of her half sisters mother, so yes if Eloise wanted to marry beneath her/for love, I see her bother making a fuss but his wife making him see reason, which will allow Eloise to make her own choice, it's not like her dowry wouldn't support them, and Theo is young, and with her help, could achieve his ambitions.
I never knew I needed this channel the way that I do. Keep up the awesome work. Youre a 💎!
💖💖 you’re 💎
Oh my gosh my family was the same way about not shouting and side eyeing. Whispering to each other that’s how things got “resolved” small whispers from one person to another. I was the odd duckling who said exactly what everyone was thinking and got these shocked and embarrassed/awkward looks. I was young and so confused as to what I had done. My mom tried explaining it but it never computed. Also sometimes I just thought certain etiquette rules were dumb.
If you have a fan, you can whisper and side eye all you like
tightlacing corsets weren't a thing untill the late 1830's as the metal eyelets that allow for tight lacing weren't invented untill 1832
Sorry but I really love dresses and I just wanted to say this. Why the fuck are they wearing corsets in the show. They should be wearing short stays which look exactly the same as sports bras they shouldn’t be in corsets. Corsets are from the Jacobean and Victorian period which was AFTER the regency era. Also corsets would have been made to fit and therefore shouldn’t be tight the only time they were tight was if you couldn’t afford to buy or make a new one. Same with short stay. The only reason corsets are deemed evil is because Victorian men were so fearful of women feeling comfortable in their way of dress that they did a smear campaign for them alongside pneumonia tops/ blouses. Look it up.
Most women wore basic versions, or second hand. They would have got the best fit, but often had them altered, or padded them out if they were too big
There are literally documented cases of corsets causing organ damage are you high
THE PERIOD THING IS CRAZY WTFF
It is!!!!!! It’s wild
British Social Class is everything. It is far more than how much money is in your bank balance.
You know what's funny is that women love this era😂😂😂 They make movies And tv series about this era and women love it😂😂😂
Drawers weren't really a thing until after the 1820s and later. Only when riding would they wear anything like trousers or drawers
Stays or as we know them now as corsets were not tight so that you could not bend. A well fitted pair of stays are quite comfortable in which you can bend over. And you can slouch in a pair of stays. I do all the time in my 18th century fully boned stayed.
It’s the regency era.
Open to interactions and ready to engage, but also shamed for sitting next to a man
Yeah, huge contradictions. but guess you avoid sitting down and only having a conversation with a man if you're in a group never one on one. So, if your enjoy a man's company but your friend walks away you likely have to excuse yourself and follow lady friends. makes it difficult to truly get to know them or to be able to choose who you like suiters or throw on you and you must smile be polite and take what others tell you should base of status. Women really had no rights to opinions always expected to please
Happy to have not lived during that era, indeed!
Who's reading the books? I'm on hyacinths story
Which one is your fave so far?
@@boppingyt I am shocked to say that Hyacinth's story might become my favorite because it's adding a bit of extra intrigue/storyline the others lacked. I also loved Benedict's story but it's hard to say I always like each one better than the last!
@@boppingyt fransesca no doubt
Why did they turn those wonderful novels into this?
To appeal to a wider audience. I don't think it was the norm in that era for different ethnicities to pair up. They've sacrificed historical accuracy for political correctness.
Can someone tell me why Anthony was pursuing Edwina rather than Kate since Kate was eligible and the elder sister. Wouldn’t she be the obvious one to be pursed?
She was too old by bridgerton standards and she herself wasn't interested in the beginning. The queen also declared edwina as the season's diamond so all suitors wanted her, that's why Anthony went after her
Anthony said the would propose to the seasons diamond, which was Edwina and Anthony is stubborn.
There were non"corsets" as we think of them. They wore short stays, not even to the waist.
Can you do videos on the The Gilded Age?
Yeah, Im waaaaaay too modern of a woman to go back in time. These rules suck
There were African Dukes in England? I dont think so.
The young women were also manipulated and bullied by older married women who had higher rank than young single ladies. Which caused them even more stress while being expected to follow all these strict etiquette rules. Poor penny had no prospects, her card was always empty because no one wished to dance with her, also penny being alone with Colin was like siblings because they had grown up together. Poor little penny, everyone cheered when she got her HEA
I now love pen more since she is breaking these stupid rules!!! Letsssgopennn
I just read the Bridgerton novel about Eloise, and I do not wish for the series to match her with Theo, but rather the man who we got introduced to in season 1 and briefly shown in season 2 (wouldn’t want to spoil if you havent read it) I love their story so much, it’s somehow so believable 🫶🏻
You mean Marina's husband?
I actually completely disagree. I hate Eloise and sit Thomas’s dynamic and much prefer the relationship between Theo and Eloise. Sir Thomas is not the one for her and her book was the worst of all of them.
@@bmzmuffin you are entitled to your opinion, and I believe somehow the creators of the Bridgerton would know what the best way to convey a story and how to make us audience fall in love with whomever Eloise would end up with ☺️ At this point I still need convincing if Theo would be her OTP, and as a work of fiction where the characters are adapted not exactly the same according to books, everything’s possible
Perfect posture helps you not to have a bad back🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
im just so glad im not a woman in that time lmfao i couldnt imagine having every single part of my life being dexided by a man. like foh. im grown af
Gentle correction: those are parasols, not umbrellas. 😉
"Bridgerton Era" XD
There actually were ways for women to deal with periods in the Regency era; they were just more cumbersome to use than what today's women have. One common option was a fabric belt that had a muslin, linen, or other material attached to both front and back making a makeshift pad that could be boiled and washed. Women of that era did not free bleed onto their clothing. They also did not wear underwear (as seen in several sources including paintings) at all that was a Victorian thing, though you did get the crotch less nature of the drawers correct. Also, women were allowed not to dance at a ball, in fact the actual rule was that if a woman refused a dance with one gentleman, then she could not dance for the rest of the night. Curtsies are not for entering or exiting a location, proposals could be private but women did need chaperones, and gossip was literally everywhere it's how reputations were ruined.
i just know i'd have the most horrid reputation in that era
Where the hell comme the story of Coler womens and men dancing in a Bal with the withe people THAT WILL NEVER BE ACCEPT IN THOSE DAYS
Agreed, it's sad how they pretended. But this century it's politically correct, also it attracts a wider audience which means it's able to make more money. Keeps everyone happy.
Women in the Regency Era wore short stays which could not be tight laced. Stays, especially if properly fitted, were very comfortable and supportive undergarments. Please stop perpetuating the erroneous idea that corsets and stays were torture devices.
When you talked about women not making first introduction, shouldve shown the scene when Daphne first bumps in to Simon trying to avoid Burbrook. She was polite until he accused her of trying to being sent his way by her mama. Then she is like, whats your name, mr important? Then Anthony swoops in.
That’s so true! It would’ve fitted perfectly, good catch 💫💫
then again, bridgerton isn't meant to be 100% accurate to the regency era so i can see why it appears that way
so strange it was not lady like to wear UNDERWEAR
This video is too weird. The Regency Era was an actual thing, Bridgeton is not. It is completely fictional.
Woow then why do they get so surprised by Indian culture of being shy, reserved and arranged marriage.
Sounds like the grooming of the Kardashians without the trashiness.
HAHAHAH women didn't free bleed during the regency era. That's amusing. They used cheap flannel rags rolled up and inserted like tampons or t-belts with pads affixed.
And what about the men 😒
Go find a video about men instead of asking about them on a video about women.
Not for the forcing to find a husband but can you imagine the majority of todays youth following those rules no for sure they wouldn’t be able to become of a lot of self entitlement and attitude they have. I must admit to loving the gowns though I don’t think I would liked having to wear to of the beautiful gowns without the drawers
Well, male upbringing was hardly any better! Corporal punishment was hardly fun. Men certainly had more freedom, but they also, like women had to follow social norms!
You just said it… they had way more freedom. And more privilege. Don’t make about them lol
@sarahthomas8670 I don't make it about them. I just stating facts! Because it's not a competition about who had it worse!
Every child got corporal punishment it was very common. Upper Class Women could not wear knitters because only lower class women wore knitters.
@@sarahthomas8670 Men appeared to have more freedom but the rule's of society were harsh on everyone but only young men could got out to the pleasure gardens and bar at night to cope with it.
Such stuffy rules. LOL
Factually inaccurate on more than one subject. No go.
