@rosiehharte: Women in the 16th and 17th centuries wore huge skirts called French farthingales, but could they actually move in them? And why did men hate them?

Forced to wear a tight skirt, born to wear wide dresses that prevent anyone near me.

that's why French Doors are ouble doors, it was to accommodate wider skirts

I thought it was because men would try to touch and get as close to them as possible and these made it harder to be graped

Audibly laughed at the idea of “eclipsing” everyone around me with a skirt

Thank you for always saying James I & VI so many people drop the sixth and I find it very anglocentric to ignore his Scottish roots

A yoga instructor once said that it's okay to "take up space" & it resonates bc church asked me to be quiet & made me feel small

interesting how you totally avoided mentioning that the farthingale fashion started in Spain, actually, the word farthingale is a corruption of the spanish word verdugado

I swear there's a bird called a farthingale here in America but I'm too lazy to Google it.

I've always wondered what the Italians were wearing during the same Era certainly not as many layers in the Italian heat
