It's interesting how many commentators think that past fashions were more beautiful because they were more feminine or women looked like "women".
To me a woman looks like a woman because she IS a woman and not because she looks like some construction of feminity.

Very nice video! And I'm happy I need no corset to look acceptable :)

You can check out the website for Harpers' Monthly Magazine, which in the 1850s had a monthly engraving of the latest fashions, and once in a while a cartoon making fun of the perils of wearing hoopskirts.

No so true.

Depends on your social stand, and religion. Quakers and such could wear simple frocks. And a poor women could wear a plain dress. These would be dresses for going out and visits. At home they dress down.

It's 'Venus, bringer of peace' from the Planet Suite by Gustave Holst.
