Seriously, I know what you mean, but clothing-porn often makes one's writing ridiculous (as do regular super lengthy descriptions! Not everyone is Honore de Balzac, and all that your writing about "the marble column of his neck" does is make me huff with laughter). A couple of nice details thrown in? Gorgeous, gimme more. Actual lengthy descriptions?.. nno. Remember, in period pieces, especially if they are written from the perspective of an in-universe character, the ~super exotic Victorian/Edwardian/Regency underwear~ would be seen the way we see, IDK, expensive jeans or shirts with unusual prints. Fancy, yeah. Cool, maybe. Worthy of a whole paragraph of descriptions? Hell no.
But I do like it when people actually mention some clothes worn in a particular time period. Especially if it's done in passing, so as to remind the reader that the setting is there without making it too obvious.
