1780s dressing the different social classes, english fashion

Fascinating. By the end, I had almost forgotten it was the same person in each segment. Excellent editing.

Excellent comparison - I like how you specify the materials and why each class wears particular items.

This video is fantastic. It is particularly valuable in its comparison of the different classes - not just visually, but with detailed information explaining those differences. Can't thank you enough!

I would say that the stay that is the hardest to put on/lace on was worn by the upper class, because they had staff to help them. I even heard that upper class people would wear impossible clothing on purpose, just to show they had staff. So I would say a stay that is laced in the front is for lower class people, and the one that is laced in the back is for upper class. Of course besides the difference in quality.

I absolutely love the lower class outfit 😍

I have this pet theory that upper class people wore their garters above their knees and lower class people tied them below the knee. This applies to both women and men. Working class people had to do a lot more physical tasks and movement than their upper class counterparts, so naturally their stockings were more prone to falling down. To prevent this, they would probably have preferred to tie their garters right below the knee, where it was most secure. The upper classes, on the other hand, could afford to wear their stockings in a more dainty style and often tied their garters above the knee to ensure their stockings stayed thigh-high. Obviously, wearing garters like this would be more cumbersome and restrict movement, so it wasn't suited for people who had to do manual labor. Gartering the stockings above the knee wasn't as secure as below, so the fancy silk stockings would often slip down beneath their skirts or breeches, so I also think upper class folk would've had to be more mindful of their legwear.

Great breakdown! Especially informative to see them side by side like this :)

Love the middle class outfit, without the apron or cap.

Came over from IG. This is so cool! I love the class contrast. Must've been quite the planning process to time each section to match up so well!

Very nice overview! ❤

This is well done, I love to see the difference in styles, and this is one of my favorite eras for fashion! I am curious about the glasses on the working class costume, were they common during this time amongst the lower classes? If so, were they more common amongst the lower classes than upper? I would have assumed the more wealthy would be able to afford glasses more readily than lower class and that glasses would be more prominent amongst them, as contacts would not have been an option at the time.
