sorry about the audio quality, the time machine ruined the clips when I was on my way back :(

“They weren’t afraid to make actresses look lame which is something I really appreciate”
...well if that’s not me when I’m costuming a show, I don’t know what is

I really loved seeing Mr. Knightley get dressed and even trying to undress himself in frustration. We see women put in corsets so often in movies I don’t think we realise how many layers go into the mens outfits. A nice touch.

"Never underestimate the importance of fabrics"

Me: *sewing historical costumes out of goodwill sheets* welp

Men's collar: is where it should be
Karolina: chef's kiss

* Karolina shows clip of hilarious student film *
Me: GIVE ME THIS FILM OR GIVE ME DEATH

"Because I want to look handsome, clever, and rich."

Same fam, same.

One of my biggest peeves with most films set pre-1950 is that colour is often lost, we forget that past people also saw the world in colour in the same vibrancy that we do today

literally me watching emma: i wonder what karolina żebrowska thinks about those costumes

I'm an animation student, if i ever am animating anything that's historic i'm coming to you for historical correctness advice ;) our pro

I loved that at least once Emma repeats a dress. Usually they never repeat a dress in movies but even if you were rich then you'd end up repeating an outfit once in a while.

With the neckline mistake I can see Harriet not knowing or having a fancy enough evening dress. For Mrs. Elton-she's a tacky human and probably didn't think the rules apply.

"Lady Catherine will not think the worse of you for being simply dressed. She likes to have the distinction of rank preserved."

nothing puts me off from regency period movie/tv series than lack of curls...

i looked at your hands for about 30 secs straight, absolutely horrified not realising you were, indeed, just wearing flesh coloured gloves.

I’d love you to judge the costumes and hair in “The Duchess”.

Normal people: are attracted to the actors
Meme mum: are attracted to the costumes

“We don’t really experiment with Austen adaptations ”

The Lizzie Bennett Diaries and Emma Approved: am I a joke to you?

As a student costume designer, other videos like this one made by clothing historians often frustrate me as they often tend to say anachronistic ALWAYS means bad costume design. I really appreciated how this video takes into account story and how sometimes anachronistic choices (like the high neckline at night) can be used to convey something about the character. In period pieces, a designer has to balance being a historian and a storyteller and that this video understands this nuance proves that the Meme Mom is truly supreme.

Okay, it was a bit odd on Emma, but hearing "steampunk neck corset" makes me want one. I guess it'd be a choker with a steampunk aesthetic but "neck corset" sounds awesome.

I wanted to watch this in the cinema with my best friend but corona hit😢😢😢
