But...

I don't think there ever was a time period when people dressed like that pic, though. Women wore corsets, but underneath other layers of clothing and not as a top all on its own, and elbow length evening gloves were for formal evening wear and wouldn't have been everyday accessories anyway. It was also rare for women to carry canes as a fashion statement rather than, well, a mark of physical infirmity. If you'd transported that lady in the secret back to say, Edwardian or Victorian times, people would assume she was a rather bold prostitute for the way she was dressed.

Now, if being a Victorian-era sex worker is what you want, far be it for me to stop you, but I don't think it sounds like a nice life.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm no expert on Victorian fashion, but what people point to as "Sexy Victorian" is not at all what you see in period photos, fashion plates, advertizements, etc., certainly not for everyday wear. Evening clothes allowed decolletage, but during the day you couldn't dress like in the photo.

Yeah. Victorian clothing meant a lot more layers than people nowadays are accustomed to wearing. In reality, you'd feel like a wool-clad sausage and your clothes would probably be pretty whiffy since not all of it can be easily laundered.

So what you're saying is, this is actually modern fashion and not out of date by over a century?
