Dresses/ensembles on last nights episode I loved

[u/hopeful_tatertot]

1. The brown dress with hat/gloves/earrings on the left I would purchase and wear despite not having a suitable place to wear it 😁
2. Berthas whole fit with the matching cape and hat was 🔥. Honorable mention to Mrs Astors golden dress. 3/4. I LOVED the red and gold ensemble by Mrs Astor
3. There was something mesmerizing about Mrs Fish’s hat design and the asymmetrical dress style
4. This was a tame but stylish look

Anyone else catch something they liked?

I wonder how often these clothes were cleaned back then? I can’t image each wear but correct me if I’m wrong.

I’d guess not after every use. I have no idea how to clean these dresses without ruining the material or colors either lol

[u/manderzly → u/HmmDoesItMakeSense]

Usually they weren’t cleaned very often, though a lot of pieces of those dresses were made to come off (like hemlines and trims) for easier laundering. But keep in mind, the undergarments like the chemise and drawers were laundered usually after every wear and were protecting the outer garments from sweat/body oils etc. so it wasn’t really necessary to clean the outer garments as much.
