I visited a museum exhibition about clothes once, and they said that childen's clothes only become real children's clothes towards the 20th century.
And, imho, they're chaging that back to litle adult's clothes right now.
Women's clothes "of the peacock variety" are absolutely the most unpractical ever. Still are.
I don't think that men's clothes are that impracticle, that'S against the so-called male nature. Even though all these skin-tight white jeans or baggy pants can't be that practical...
Anyway, as a curious fact of dress history: some men in England of the 1820s wore jackets which included a corset, they were called Butterfly Dandies. ;)
