And I can certainly see why ladies had maids. <br /><br />Today, getting dressed is not a group effort. But, we also do not normally dress in such a lovely and elegant manner.

Perhaps your expert can answer a question of mine -- why were amateur thespians called "buskers" in the old days? Was it because they dressed up in 18th C costumes like those shown, with that center front busk?<br />Keep up the great work -- I always get a little thrill when I see you've posted another great tidbit!<br />Best,<br />Nancy NNancy Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454385287886216079noreply@blogger.com
