On a previous thread I said the ladies’ fashions of 1855-58 made the wearers resemble giant badminton birdies, or shuttlecock’s, as Tax-chick reminded me was the proper term. It was a strange period for women’s attire. I’m glad we evolved away from it by the 20th century.

I think the early 1800s and the early 1900s had pretty clothes.
