There are a couple of issues here, one being that the desperately poor
may stoop to things the affluent attending a ball would not stoop to.
The other is that middle- and upper-class Victorian women were
determined that their clothes should look clean and tidy at all times,
without the benefit of modern dry cleaning and laundry methods and with
smaller wardrobes than we have.
