For those of you that wear them,
Corset History might interest you.

For those who just have to have that 43rd pair of shoes,
Footwear of the Middle Ages. Imagine wearing these?

And how did we become such a slave to fashion? See the PBS page, What Is Fashion.

Erm... I won't ask why it was "useful" but the history of it was quite interesting. I've been to the Costume museum in Bath and an "underwear" exhibition in Vancouver that both had some corests and i can't believe the torture women put their body through willingly!

I have some proper, leather soled turned shoes for C15 re-enactment purposes :-)

Oooh. Do you do that often? We have a Society for Creative Anachronism here, or we used to. Thought about joining once but never did.
