Hearted Youtube comments on Bernadette Banner (@bernadettebanner) channel.

  1. "Supremely extra" is the only way to create. If you're not being AS EXTRA as possible, I'm not positive you're doing it right.

  2. Tea, toast, and cozy hand sewing content is all I could ask for on this gloomy day. Thank you so very much for the soothing felling stitches. <3

  3. "Ye olde historically accurate towel" šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ i love your humor, can't believe i only found you now

  4. I like to think that the pristine examples of modern style underwear were worn by a time traveler, who brought them out of habit and quickly discarded them once she realised her silly mistake, but that may be a slightly too complex explanation and maybe some lady just hated corsetsšŸ‘€

  5. I loved this! A part 2 would be great. : ) I wish publishers would consider more historical cover art, especially when the author has done their research and written a (more or less) accurate novel!
    524
  6. when Bernadette mentioned ā€˜victorian apothecaryā€™ i realized that i needed that to be my aesthetic. iā€™m a sucker for old medicines bottles and other medical things.
    522
  7. Oh my goodness, can this be a show now? I need it on Netflix right away!
    520
  8. So like the accidental side effect of this video is that I now want a lacy edwardian poncho :3 I also want a floaty edwardian crop top šŸ˜… my motivation to actually make my Miss Frizzle yellow lingerie split skirt is returning though XD
    517
  9. As someone who has worked in waste reduction for almost two decades, I loved every minute of this. I really appreciated how much your examples showed the difference in quality, wearability, etc. Keep fighting the good fight, Bernadette!
    516
  10. Oh, how I appreciate a "frothy, floofy, wonderful skirt."
    514
  11. i am entranced by the perfect little purple bunch of grapes earrings
    514
  12. Am I the only one whoā€™s now reaching for a Black Death book to double check all the facts that I was taught wrong in school. No.... just me.... ok. Back to the terrifying Edwardian (and modern) book thatā€™s decorated in skeletons, gravestones and black blobs I go.
    513
  13. Some People (Regarding long skirts): How do you walk in that thing!?! Edwardian Women in floofy lingerie dresses: Launching themselves over a tennis-court net with nary a faceplant in sight. Brava Edwardian Women. Brava!

  14. I have a terrible weakness for old books, teacups/sets, ceramic/cast iron cookwareā€¦my very lovely husband takes me around ā€œThe Circuitā€ (what we call the small collection of antique stores within an hourā€™s drive) once a month and buys me all the little pretties that beg to come home with me. He calls them my Treasures šŸ„°šŸ¤£
    512
  15. I'm actually screaming. Holy crap I want the whole series and several movies. I'm in love
    510
  16. Hereā€™s the other thing about photography: what settings you use matter intensely, so much so that you can make someone look 20lbs heavier or lighter or have a much larger or smaller nose in photographs taken only moments apart. Our eyes correct for a lot of things that the camera canā€™t on its own. So which image is ā€œrealā€? Hard to say.
    510
  17. I swear this is withcraft! It was magical seeing that bulge appear after only a few rows of pad stitching
    508
  18. "Effort was made" is an understatement. From the original inspiration interpretation drawing and coloring; washing and ironing of the cotton; the use of the Walking Skirt pattern (from a previous original video); stiching of 1" lace ribbon together to create a wider lace for the insertion; changing the pattern to include a new Chevron pattern... C'mon it's freaking beautiful!!!!

  19. āœ”ļødetailed info about historical dress āœ”ļø Extensive Footnotes āœ”ļøMorgan Donner Easter egg 1000/10 awesome video
    503
  20. So many feels here. Iā€™m all kinds of mad they sell that horrid dress with your beautiful dress as the bait dress. Then your rant/educational bits, which I loved. Thank you for all the info on fast fashion, itā€™s certainly affected my own mentality on clothing, and Iā€™m working towards making more of my own wardrobe in future. šŸ˜

  21. Cheney is such a treasure! First saw her on Townsend's when they did a closer look at black history. She's always great!
    500
  22. I loved hearing your takes on all of these films/shows! Might I say that the production on the video is also *chef's kiss*? (and i don't want to be too nosy but is this filmed at a different frame rate to your other videos? looks great either way!)

  23. The belly pooch is also great for disguising a larger belly, for anyone trying to keep a pregnancy quiet or dealing with PCOS/endo bloat. People assume it's just fabric!

  24. Ahhh! Itā€™s so nice to see Black women in your reference images! Itā€™s so rare to see women who look like me in the historical fashion corner of YouTube which can be disheartening , so thank you <3

  25. Favorite part of the pattern: ā€œPieces not to scale lolā€
    491
  26. Thank you Bernadette for your awesome content and your historical goths vibes. Thank you Heathcliff for your brave venturing into the world of thread buttons. Thank you Michelle for the new pattern. And last but certainly not least, thank you Danny for your editing skills and excellent sense for ā€œwhat the people wantā€. 10/10 šŸŽ‰ā¤

  27. Expectation: setting (part of) a crappy knockoff dress on fire Reality: dousing the entire fast fashion industry with kerosene and lighting a match

  28. is that a piece of paper saying "no" on your wall??

  29. Because of you I got into an argument about corsets in my renaissance history lectures zoom chat. We were discussing a portrait of a wealthy Venetian woman (c. 16th century), and someone in the chat said "the corsets must have been the worst" and like, five of us immediately pounced with the "uhm actually corsets (as we know them) didn't exist at that time sdfkajsdhfkajsdfh" I hope you're proud

  30. Pointing out the hours some people are required to work in the context of this was EYE OPENING. I am also one of those people that cannot do 24 hours awake without any kind of nap. Cheers.

  31. this channel is so perfect for any level of attention. if you are paying close attention, there's beautiful camera work, great music and often sounds, the captions can be endlessly entertaining, not to mention Bernadette's wonderful way of speaking, and of course some great laughs along the way both in what she says and the occasional meme on screen. if you're listening but not watching, things are explained clearly so you'll never get lost in the sauce, the music is perfectly balanced with her voice so you'll be able to enjoy it while still getting info, and the sounds are asmr worthy. if you want something to fall asleep to, that also works. most of the videos are consistent in a fairly low energy which is perfect to relax to, there's not too much going on to shock you out of sleepyness, there's just enough going on to keep part of your brain paying attention though. i just love this channel. anyways thank you for the good you've done and the growth you've had. <3

  32. I don't know if Dani has been doing most of the editing these days, but this hasn't been the first time I've watched video and find myself thinking "....I get the feeling this is a Dani-edited video" and check the credits and yup, sure is! xD And I say that with supreme admiration! I can't even explain exactly what moments clue me in that it's Dani's touch, but it's there and I love it. (Obviously, both of you Banner siblings are awesome, and it's wonderful how the two of you get to collaborate like this!) (Also, that ad spot? Absolutely hilarious! xD this Dark Witch Academic Spy absolutely made me giggle)

  33. It's snowing outside, I just made a cup of tea and I find a new video from our glorious queen in my feed. 'Tis a good day indeed
    487
  34. I will NEVER wear a linen blouse again without respecting the wisdom and effort and skill that goes into itā€™s history. Just thinking about what that phrase ā€œfine linenā€ actually means is so humbling! Thanks again Bernadette for broadening my mind ā¤
    486
  35. Okay this was simultaneously hilarious, educational and surprisingly... I donā€™t know what word to use really, suggestive maybe? Like not to be a not-really-Victorian-apparently about it but thereā€™s a suggestion of intimacy to the finished photos even though there is nothing about them thatā€™s really quote unquote sexy about them by modern standards. Well done!
    482
  36. The sponsorship portion was giving MAJOR Carmen San Diego vibes and I am HERE for it! Well done and I LOVE the robe.

  37. Whenever I see someone on YouTube whoā€™s just watched a sewing tutorial, ask,....ā€can I sew this by hand? I donā€™t have a sewing machine.ā€ I wish I could show them this. Yes people, you can make things sewn by hand. I think your project came out beautiful.

  38. I think it's one of those things where - yeah, no one PROMISED that this wasn't retouched, but regular people who don't know the process are going to be influenced by images around us. I remember how much Seventeen magazine in the 90s affected my assumptions of what is "normal". And that's basically the thesis statement of media literacy theory right there - how media influences us, whether we know it or not.

  39. If there is anything i have learned since dipping my toes in historical costuming, it's that polyester should burn at the stake
    475
  40. I loved the chatting on the floor! :D It made me smile. I 100% agree that revisiting one's documentation after making the thing makes a huge difference in your understanding of the thing. I always catch myself afterward having done some element not entirely correctly šŸ˜±
    473
  41. I wear mostly black, and definitely only pants, but man, I want a floofy white skirt with lace insertion now.
    472
  42. band name: Millennial Victorian first lp title: Drunk Stitching is Historically Accurate def pop punk. def would play early 00s warped tour. def would have at least one ballad with cello feature, probs titled "My Hem May Be Covered In Mud, but My Pride Cannot Be Broken (Radio Edit)" or something equally Austenian. tell me i'm wrong.

  43. If you donā€™t want to look at a dress form that looks just like your body all the time, have it wear one of your previous works when itā€™s not in use.
    469
  44. Aren't we all just really excited for Bernadette, both as a shoe and a person? Yes, yes we are.
    469
  45. The texture of the shoulder piece is so very pleasing, especially juxtaposed with the smoothness of the dress fabric. I could imagine something similar being made into a vest or spencer and then incorporated into one's wardrobe.
    466
  46. The hand stitching footage is, as always, soothing to the proverbial soul, but also the bobbin winding was oh so satisfying. Also the romping around at the end was delightful. Dressing gowns, all the time!
    465
  47. Ooh I hear Hildegard von Blinginā€™s voice during the Bardcore rave! Hope they played our medieval ā€œHolding Out For A Heroā€ as well!!!
    463
  48. I feel the need to make a petition for all button hole making to be accompanied by an epic adventure theme henceforth. You actually made that arduous task look rather cool. Not to mention being an absolute boss in your secret pants!!
    462
  49. I'm glad that were celebrating the good ones. Now I know what to look out for and be like. Ah yeah they did it right!
    461
  50. The gown is heartstopping. I'm really astounded by the dedication it took to finish the entire project. (Am I the only one who holds her breath while watching silk and velvet get cut?)
