They Really Did Like Their Fashion, Too!

When I first started learning about historical clothing, I didn't realize people, particularly women, were as attached to their clothes as we are to ours.  I finished listening to this podcast on "Retrenchment" from the Mormon Channel yesterday when Brigham Young encouraged women to not be so frilly and fancy.  It was interesting hearing some of the reactions of the women and even men to his plea.  It really brings people to life hearing what they thought about simplifying.
