The first book is now on Starz, in an original series.
The main character, Claire, does some time travel from the 1945 to the 1743. In a recent episode she had to change from her 1940s attire to a dress in her current fashion of the day in the 1700s.
She put on a dress similar to this -
She wears a roll, similar to a smaller Boppy nursing pillow, around her waist to allow the skirt to flare and stay upright. While I may not find the style attractive I have decided there are some advantages to this fashion.
1. I think the "Boppy" pillow is to allow the air to circulate and offer some respite from the heat for the lady.
2. It is a marvelous way to hide the hips. No one has any idea as to the size underneath. I love it. I'm thinking we should bring this style back. I could look slim and svelte. All those size 2 women would have no advantage and we would probably all be buying the same size. How easy to shop!
