I’m fascinated by the hair. The styles are SO elaborate. Reminds me of Yeoman Rand on Star Trek. And the fabrics! You can feel them. I keep wondering how they cleaned them.

I am sure the aristocracy would change clothing many times over a week, the undergarments were washed by the servants. The people kept themselves rather clean with daily ablutions and weekly baths. For those elegant clothes, maybe they would just air them and discard when soiled. Rather fascinating subject. You got me curious.
