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

  1. I feel like as clothing became less restrictive, the cultural view of "how to look fashionable" went from "of course you'll use padding to achieve the fashionable silhouette" to "you need to change your own naked body to achieve the fashionable silhouette". I haven't done that much research into the history of diet culture, but it feels like this might be the case.

  2. Bernadette, I'm so happy that you included photos of women of color during this period. It's so nice to see representation in other countries and outside of just "being slaves". Slavery was/is a huge deal, but it's great to see that there were black women that were living better lives and were successful in a way that is not often shown!

  3. "Pure existential shrieking" is also the theme for 2020

  4. Thank you. This is exactly the kind of education I'm seeking. Not "how to backstitch," rather why use backstitch and how to make the backstitch more effective, ways to make the felling stitch smooth and less visible, etc. Too many forgo these finer details, and then the work becomes sloppy. My monstrous appetite for perfectionism will not tolerate such neglect. Also, I think I put too much honey in my tea... Please excuse me.

  5. Thank you so much for having Rupert and me! It was a great pleasure.

  6. “I shaved my legs for this. You are welcome” That’s such a big mood...

  7. It was the greatest revelation ever, when I discovered that it’s possible to add pockets not just during the construction process, but also to gasp existing garments. Anywhere I wanted to! In the perfect size and shape! I love, how neat your handfinished seam allowance looks, btw. It’s such a beautiful little detail.

  8. It's kind of reassuring seeing you fiddle and flail a bit (sorry, I hope that's not insulting, I think you're wonderful). As a beginner I feel overwhelmed and flail literally every time I approach a pattern, so seeing others going through the same and solve their problem gives me the boost I need to try again.

  9. Am I the only one who could watch Bernadette every day?
    2400
  10. It was absolutely, definitely and categorically worth the wait! It's stunning! Great work. Thanks for powering through this part of the project (which you mentioned is no longer as exciting to you as when you'd started it). :)

  11. The staple in the belt is exactly what should be there to hold the belt together. I have several belts for my treadle machine and they all have the heavy staple. Congratulations on you new best friend. I got my treadle machine from my uncle Cecil. He wore overalls all the time but he made all his shirts on the treadle.

  12. RIP the artists who had to draw all that insertion lace for the drawings on the magazines
    2400
  13. "You might not be done in 24h, but you will be 24h further in the project" is a key take away and real motivation
    2300
  14. This is beautifully edited - such a lovely glimpse into the world of these talented artisans (including you, of course) and why they are so important!
    2300
  15. Does anyone else look at these extant garments and wonder what their stories are? Or make up grand stories about the dresses and what they've been through? "This dress was worn at a high tea and then there was a total Real Housewives of the Edwardian Era moment and that's how this stain occurred because Mary threw tea at Abigail (the dress wearer). Then Mary grabbed Abigail's lace, a fight ensued and that tore the insertion lace...Andy Cohen will tell us more at the reunion show!"

  16. Bernadette: "So, you are a woman in the mid 18th century" Me, a boy, in the 21st century: nod
    2300
  17. I am an onlyfans content creator as well as adult film performer, hearing Bernadette’s validation of how SURPRISING the amount of work goes into producing content, as well as inspiring me for future shoots has moved me and really warms my heart. This is truly a work of performance art
    2300
  18. Given how long they have stood the test of time and fashion, stays was indeed a worthy name!
    2300
  19. I very much like the idea of Cesario giving his own parallel tour of the space as you are giving the human-level one 😂
    2300
  20. I teared up when they mentioned repurposing wedding dresses. That's such a sweet idea!
    2200
  21. The five dislikes were from Parisian flower makers.
    2200
  22. For the first Downton Abbey scene, is she familiarising herself with the new sewing machine? If so, simple test seams are quite likely.
    2200
  23. "Millennial Victorian" is the best summary I've heard of Bernadette, and I plan to become one as well when I can make space on my project board.
    2200
  24. Perhaps the brown thread was originally black, but it was not well dyed. So it turned lighter and brown through the years? It is, again, a lovely made piece.
    2200
  25. “Because I’m a heathen” 😂
    2200
  26. All pets when left for a length of time: No, you betrayed me! Well, you have snacks and cuddles. I forgive.
    2200
  27. Ok, how much fun did you have filming the sponsorship intro?😂☺️☺️
    2200
  28. The quote at the end “that was the scariest thing I’ve done all week” is really accentuated by the fact that her studio’s building caught fire.
    2200
  29. Oh, His Lordship's quarantine place looks very cosy. We are truly blessed with His presence in this video. The dress is going to be so beautiful, I hope that you will get good use of her. Now excuse me, I need to put insertion lace in all of my clothing :D
    2200
  30. Cesario is a very observant supervisor. No funny business on his watch. XD
    2100
  31. Only three people understanding the humour of the Banner books? No way. We’re all behind you on this.
    2100
  32. I'd be interested in more romance cover redesigns - possibly also "good" covers & what they do well? ex. Cat Sebastian's Sedgwick series clears the very low bar of not showing us the men's rippling washboard abs via ahistorical front-closure shirt alchemy
    2100
  33. Your attention to detail will probably ensure that these masks last longer and hold up to more washings. Bravo!
    2100
  34. “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
    2100
  35. I feel like "shiftless corset wearer" should be an insult. Also everything about this video made me so happy. I hope you do more because you do them so well, and then we all get to squee along over historical clothing. I remember noticing in the 90's Little Women (not perfect in historical costuming for sure) the dresses being made over and worn by other sisters which I always thought was a nice touch.
    2100
  36. "brooms for sweeping and brooms for flying" - iconic I love that Cesario knows that his name comes from Shakespeare
    2100
  37. GOOSEBUMPS! I am SO upset this is not an actual series. Also that slo-mo dog shot is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
    2100
  38. "The women in this show are basically props." SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID.
    2000
  39. The struggle to find non shimmery eyeshadow is real! And it's especially important if you're older and the skin on your eyelids is a little bit crepe-like. That Shimmer will show every wrinkle and crease!
    2000
  40. Little appreciation: Seeing you reuse the walking skirt pattern pieces, seeing they're drafted on wrapping paper, a bit beat up and crinkled, and PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL. Relatable realism for novice sewers ftw <3
    2000
  41. Bernadette Banner roasts organza for 24 minutes straight. Jk, she roasts organza on bias
    2000
  42. It's insane to see how far this channel has come. I've been watching your videos for years and remember watching your first few experiments with corsets like it was yesterday. These days I'm amazed by every new project, they just keep getting better and more ambitious
    2000
  43. I know you only showed it for a split second but I'm obsessed with the cover art for that playbill.
    2000
  44. I love that Bernadette can't keep a straight face after "All this and more, coming up." <3
    2000
  45. I love the sassiness as you defend the honor of historic garments against blasphemous lies and misinformation!
    1900
  46. The idea that your space is never actually "done" is honestly a huge inspiration to get started on changing my office / craft room. I don't need to have it perfect, don't need to complete it, but I can make it better than it is now and continue to evolve it <3
    1900
  47. I dont mean to reduce your content from artistic historical recreation to teaching us beginners how to make a shirt. But I really appreciate you showing us certain stitches and creating simple things we could recreate. The history is an amazing bonus, and it is also helpful to know I /can/ make clothes myself since it was done before. Paying $20+ for fabric and spending time making a shirt, instead of spending $20 on a low quality ethically questionable tee shirt with the word "taco" written on it sounds amazing.
    1900
  48. The feather bone process was such a clever idea to take something easily available and unused to supply a need. It's fabulous that the creator left explanation of the process of making them and that you got to try it out. When you sewed down the boning channels the intersected the rails, was it difficult to sew through them? Also, hugs to the cute Lord Cesario!
    1900
  49. I had no idea the history of underwear was so fascinating. But then again, you could talk for 6 minutes about chamber pots, and I’d still be just as mesmerised.
    1900
  50. Secret pants AND pockets?! It’s the ultimate garment 🥺✨
