"Madame Fashion"

"Madame Fashion" has changed her mind over the time of history.

The loose fitting dresses of the Medieval Era are not unlike ours today, but with one, unseen, difference. Today, we no longer wear the corset ! The corset back then was made of steel and went through various verities of materials --- whalebone finding itself in the Victorian Era. Today we wear the more comfortable bra, and some do not even wear that.

Dresses have always been long, sometimes wide, sometimes 'slim', but the Era we live in today is the first to see the shortest of dresses ever worn. Is there any point in putting "that" on ? And yet today we are far freer to be individuals and to dress as such. No one stares at anyone today because of the one simple fact --- nothing is out of place, all seems to be allowed. Women wear tailored trouser suits, and not just for work, and it is seen as acceptable. Women are no longer confined to the fashions of the past but are much freer to wear 'what they want.'
