Uh, no, I mean, I can’t actually dance in it, do you have any idea how long it took to align all the layers to look right on mobile? In fact, tell him to not stand so close, it’s fucking up the margin

      I feel like that wide skirt would be good to make others give some personal space.
      But then there are people that would bend over to get in your face.

      Food hasn’t been plentiful for most of history. It’s been scarce and expensive.

      Being fatter meant that:

      • You had access to more food than you needed
      • You could afford more food than you needed
      • you didn’t work a manual labor job that required you to not be fat

      It’s similar with pale skin and long hair. Pale skin (or powdered skin) meant that you didn’t work outdoors. Long hair (on men and women) often meant that you didn’t work with machinery (looms, mangles ect). In many cases, fancy clothing, hair and makeup for men and women that took hours to apply was its own signal - you could afford to waste money on the clothes and servants to dress you, and you could afford to waste hours every day getting all costumed up.
