Just a little note, when talking about split drawers.
When i went to the exhibition about the elegant courtlife in the time of
Frederik V, there was in the catalogue pictures of the queens midges
clothes. Its a whole outfit, chemise- split drawers,stays, petticoat with
hip pads, skirt and a Brunswick overdress with hood. Its 1770ies, and i
thoaght they didnt wear underdrawers?
Now Denmark had a cold climate during the winter season, perhaps it was a
nescesity for the ladies two?

That's a very cool website, although I find the graphics a little
distracting. Thanks for the link!
Now, I'm not a 19th century geek, but I find myself with a question about
those split drawers (truly, just odd timing <g>...I went to a play this
weekend that had midwestern-US-cancan-dancers in it, and for some reason,
I
was wondering if that "flip the skirts up over one's head and wiggle one's
backside move, or the high kicks, originally offered more of a *koff* view
than we'd think). When did it become common practice for the split to be
sewn up?
