Here s a fun and completely useless fact - growing up, I was obsessed with the way women dressed in the 1800s and early 1900s, and luckily for me, lots of grandmas had trunks filled with corsets, bustles, and hoop skirts tucked away in their attics and those items would sell for super cheap at estate sales in the 1990s in the Albany area.
Guess who scooped up as many of the age-old underthings as possible? Yes, this girl, and I m kicking myself that I got rid of all of them because, in a sense, I tossed pieces of history without giving it a second thought.
