I wasn't assuming anything...I was just providing a source that compared
an English traveler writing about other countries. I am not trying to
provide information to infer that it was more or less common either....

Ok, maybe we could look at this a different way. Turn it around.
Instead of trying to figure out where and when women were wearing
breeches of some sort -- why are we assuming they weren't? And why
are we assuming it was commonly done? Is this one of those things
we've just assumed because our view of the past is filtered *through*
a period when it may have been this way (which seems to happen a lot)?
