Okay, dumb question, but... why did they need drawers at all? Chemise, layers of petticoats, and long skirts -- everything totally obscured, so why bother with drawers?

They wore a long chemise over the top of the drawers, and a corset laced up tightly on top of that, so the only way to "drop a penny" was to have the drawers split. You just couldn't get at them to pull them down from the waist. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
