Getting Dressed for a Ball in 1820

The sister of Lucy Stephenson, the wife of the house, was invited to a ball. She has agreed to take her nieces along. For this special occasion she has hired the renowned French hairdresser Madame Du Hare who is currently traveling through the U.S.

Thank you everyone for your kindness & patience.

The maid is my favorite. She looks done with everyone's attitude but is so sweet haha. Her facial expressions are the best

As a writer, this is going to help me a lot

I'm so glad the girls also got their hair done. They all looked ravishing.

That's not just a maid! That's Justine! This whole Chanel is thanks to her!

Looks like some Little Women working hard to give us a living view of history....how fun! Bravo ladies!

I love how the background looks so realistic like a real family in the 18th century

This was adorable and interesting to watch, and Madam Du Hair was a riot! Her expressions had me chuckling through the scenes.

I am probably one of the few who liked the inclusion of Madame Du Hare. If she were real, I would have hated her but this fictional person is so fun to watch. The actress was so full of pomp and snotty pride. It was hilarious. Please tell the lady that I thought she did a wonderful job. I also like the slight indistinct eye roll from the maid. I would have done the same. The lady of the house with her soft pink and ribbon in her hair looked so feminine and pretty.

Three young ladies, all elegantly adorned for the ball. May they woo more than a few eligible young bachelors into standing up and dancing with them. Our dear young maid misses out this time, but she will have her day and it will be a very fine day indeed! Bless you all.

The way Madame du Hare holds herself is ✨iconic ✨

Somehow this video popped up on my feed and this is so fantastic! (Also the hairdresser and her eccentric nature is hilarious) I have been watching your other videos and once COVID is in the rearview I absolutely plan on visiting the estate because it looks so fascinating. You have definitely interested this Texan to make the journey 😃

I love that pink dress and all the undergarments. What a fun time preparing for the ball! The hairdos were adorable especially with the combs and ribbons. Bravo!

They are ALL BEAUTIFUL TEENS, Perfect for the Ball, but the youngest ONE that BOWS at the very END is the "CUTEST.'

I love that this was done as a kind of silent movie. It just adds something.

My inner child half expected Buggy Bunny in a dress when I read "Madame du Hare"! 😂😂 That said, Madame seemed to enjoy using her tools and skills. What a lovely pampering experience that would have been!

The snooty hairdresser was a great touch to add - helped the wholesome spunk of the maid stand out xD

[Moca_me]

so cool all of the props and the costums

[idontevenknow]

Seeing that people used actual irons set in coals back then to set curls makes me super happy we have the appliances we have now. Like that actually sounds intense lol.

I’m obsessed with your content! I live on the east coast (new England) and we frequent the Newport Mansions in Newport Rhode Island. My favorite since I was a kid (and if you’ve been or look it up you can see why!) is The Breakers. Built and owned by the Vanderbilt’s in the late 1800’s…that’s what I think of while watching. They were obviously very wealthy but there must be similarities! There are MANY homes in my area also that are from as far back as 1600’s, and I’ve always been fascinated by thinking what it was like when those homes were new. This is perfect for those daydreams! Thank you!
