1700's Equestrian Attire
Woman's Fitted Riding Jacket
Goes back to the 1700's but clothing was mostly designed for men
Fitted riding jackets for women were introduced in 1928, as a leather jacked called "Profecto"
a copy of such styled leather motorcycle jackets, later worn by Marlon Brandon in his 1952 movie.
Late 1800's

Low Neckline and High Waistline, which lifted the bust line, and pushed and plumped the bodice contents.
Female cleavage was always "in your face", so to speak
BUT, ankles, being constantly hidden by full, floor length skirts, and often high, lace up Victorian shoes, were considered very erotic when caught of glimpse of.
Santa, as we know him, with a red suit, black boots, and a jolly HO HO HO was based on an 1823 poem.
Apparently even he was lured by the siren call of ankles.

1920 Nightgown
Peeking Patty
Christmas Traditions changed from opening gifts on
Christmas Eve to opening gifts on Christmas Morning.
This required "nice", yet "appropriate" pajamas, nightgowns,
bathrobes for Christmas morning group-get-togethers was
neck to foot, loose fitting, body coverage.
2019 Fashion Statement
Faux Fur Rules
.....Fur was banned (originally in California) in 2019
.....Now faux fur is indistinguishable from real fur (they say)
