The rich are different from you and me. Far be it from me to impune the coolness of the queen, fashionwise or body temperaturewise, but the kinds of clothing that people like her wear are very different. I once went to an exhibit of Jackie Kennedy's clothing. There was a "wrap skirt". I recall "wrap skirts" which I wore, and they inevitably were blown by a gust of wind and left you totally exposed to your waist in public. So, I was interested to see that Jackie's wrap skirt, which never behaved that way, was actually draped around an armature of stiff "crinoline" such as milliners use. It was pretty much an artifice on a very firm inner structure. There is no way it could ever open. It must have cost thousands to make, not the $50 I paid for my wrap skirt. I think that couturiers may know a few things about how to make a garment that doesn't wrinkle, ie, interfacing, linings, etc. Devon in NJ
