If I were born in the 1700s, I would look like a rounded man.
I actually enjoy wearing the corsets required in some period films.
How women dressed every single day back in those days is seen as kind of incredible - it must have taken so much time. But there's something so romantic about that because it's so different to how we dress. That aesthetic is so appealing, it's not what we're used to nowadays.
When I saw 'Pretty In Pink' at the cinema at the age of 11, I just thought it was a period piece from maybe 100 years previously. I had no idea that was what everybody was supposed to be wearing.
A precious, mouldering pleasure 't is, to meet an antique book, In just the dress his century wore; A privilege I think.
An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome.
In history people dressed much better than we do today.
