I thought a comfortable life for rich people was important. The clothing in the Victorian era, in the 1700s, 1500s etc. wasn't very practical or comfortable to wear. They had several layers of clothing and women wore corset. Tags: #Fashion #History #VictorianEra This video shows how a 18th century rich woman gets dressed. These clothing was so impractical that they needed someone else to dress them up. It's not like only putting on a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Similar question I asked earlier: Hygiene in the past.

Same reason they do today. It's a display of wealth and power. Only the rich can afford to not work.

It's something changes all the time to this day and forever more: Style. Fancy. "The thing". lol

Because they had no clue about fashion. I love girls who wear leather!!

They wanted to impress commoners.

I think it was a thing of status

Because it was the height of fashion.
