I think it's fair
Fair enough.
Um for example
Yeah, I know, I know, radical ideas in the Victorian age.
Um for example, corsets would really, really restrict breathing and so much so that women might pass out by wearing them.
Well,
Oh
Well that but that's the point.
It was a big problem, corsets, and throughout history it's amazing.
I mean, it's actually amazing that any woman ever put up with wearing them.
But there we go.
The Victorians wouldn't stand for it, especially not the Rational Dress Society.
Um, they also brought in these long skirts which had trousers underneath.
These were known as the divided skirt, essentially what we would know as clots today, a kind of very long
Scort, if you like.
Ben, do you know what a scort is?
Um now of course these divided skirts were mocked.
One periodical said the skirt was a delusion.
Um so, you know, not not welcomed by all.
But the point about rational dress was it wasn't just about comfort.
