I do not wish to imply that all women in all
European cultures in all times wore some sort of
pants under their dresses, but do wish to point
out a few items still existing that no one has mentioned
The leather "bikinis" (late Roman time period)
found in London and on display at the Museum of London.
The "Frauenhose von Dätgen, Kr. Rendsburg." Abb.
184-190 (text pp78-79) published in
Schlabow, Karl. Textilfunde der Eisenzeit in
Norddeutschland. Gottinger Schriften zur Vor- und
Frugeschichte, Bd. 15. Neumunster: K. Wachholtz,
1976. ISBN: 3529015156 OCLC: 2526391
The late period Italian trouseau in the Met
(examined in detail by one of the list members awhile back).
