With an eye toward the trends of internet culture, these videos serve to entertain the masses through lighthearted humor and general tomfoolery. From discussions and reviews of historical dress in popular media to experiments with Victorian laundry practices, no deep interest in dress history is necessary for enjoyment (but hopefully a slight interest will be sparked upon leaving).
