00:00I have not been this snatched since I went on Atkins.
00:03Hi, I'm Vallis and I'm 29 years old.
00:06But today I'm actually going to go back in time and start dressing like a 20-something from the 1950s.
00:12When it comes to style in the 1950s, I love the look, but I don't like the implications that come
00:17along with it.
00:18It was kind of a way to create this ideal for women to follow.
00:24To me that seems really ridiculous, but the thing is the clothes are really beautiful.
00:29They actually flatter my body really well.
00:32As a plus-size woman, it's still pretty difficult to find really trendy, good quality, affordable clothes.
00:39Heck, half the time I have to buy all my clothes online because I can't find them in the stores.
00:44Life for women in the 1950s was pretty much restricted to the home.
00:48Looking back then, it's really eye-opening.
00:51I have no kids, I have no husband, and you know what? Life is awesome.
00:59Time to say goodbye to 2018 vows and hello to 1950s vows.
01:06I can't wait to see it!
01:09Oh my gosh, this is so cute!
01:12Ah!
01:13Oh my god, this hat, I don't even know what to grab first.
01:16This is insane!
01:17Check out this skirt!
01:20Okay, and they included underwear.
01:22Get out!
01:23I've got the clothes.
01:24I'm about to get my hair done and makeup done.
01:27Stay tuned!
01:38Oh hell no, this is a whole lot of hell no.
01:41It's a little bit of a struggle for me to breathe fully.
01:44I feel sexy though, because my waist looks even smaller.
01:47It's cute for now, but you don't know what might happen later on.
01:52There shouldn't be any rules when it comes to underwear.
01:55Like, what you wear should make you feel good regardless of what it is.
02:11This is so cool!
02:13I feel like Cate Blanchett and Carol.
02:16Oh my god, I can't get over this hat.
02:18It's so pretty.
02:19The skirt is fun.
02:21The shirt, I'm not a fan.
02:23The shoes are actually pretty wearable, but pantyhose are the worst.
02:30Let alone with garters that could easily just pop off and hit somebody in the eye.
02:34During the 50s, you couldn't step out of your door without looking fully put together.
02:40We're talking the hair, the hat, your nails, gloves.
02:45Thankfully, I don't have to deal with any of this because just even blowing out my hair
02:50takes two hours on my own, and trying to do this daily and maintaining it would either
02:57cost a ridiculous amount of money or cost me way too many hours out of my week.
03:03Now that I'm fully dressed, I'm honestly feeling really constricted and kind of claustrophobic
03:12because I'm being cinched in at the waist to the very last inch.
03:17I need to breathe.
03:19This is a lot, but I feel pretty.
03:22I feel like everybody's going to lose their minds once they see me like this.
03:26I'm hyped!
03:27I mean, no, I'm quite excited.
03:44Oh my god!
03:45This is so cute!
03:47Oh my god, this is so cute!
03:50I love it!
03:50Oh my god!
03:51This is so cute!
03:52I love it!
03:52Oh my god!
03:52You look so beautiful!
03:54Oh my god!
03:57I love it!
04:00Aside from the fashion, there's so much more to being a woman of the 50s that I didn't
04:07even take into account.
04:08This was like your uniform.
04:16Your world was so small.
04:19It was confined to the home.
04:21There weren't many opportunities for women to expand their horizons.
04:24I honestly have a new appreciation for women of the 1950s because doing this every day is not easy.
04:34It was kind of hard to ignore the pain of this girdle and this long line bra just digging into
04:40my waist.
04:41I've honestly been scared to pee this whole day because to try and get everything off and then to try
04:47and get everything back on is just way too much for me right now.
04:51I would do this again, just not with the same underwear.
04:56As cute as it is, I still can't breathe really well.
04:59And now that this is done, can I go pee now?
05:08Oh dear god!
05:11Somebody pooped in there and left it!
05:13Now I don't want to pee anymore.
