Victorian bathing suit/bathing machines!!!
- We all know that the future of bathing suits is an uncertain one. Over time they have experienced such a dramatic decline that we are at least skeptical when it comes to their survival. But have you ever thought about how the first bathing suit looked like at first? Before being reduced to disappearance, of course.
- If the first to come to your mind is this, find out that it is even worse.
- It seems like a nightmare and he has been guilty of many drownings in his day. But the really scary side is just coming. In the 18th and 19th centuries, in addition to the adjoining tent suit, women had to use so-called "bathing machines" to enter the water.
- There was a sort of cage where the woman came in when she wanted to change properly for bathing, she was brought up with horses to the water, where she could get out of the cradle by a swing that was part of the "machine".
- It was necessary to avoid the risk of drowning, especially since salvation would have put her in danger of being seen by a man. Imagine your horror. For the most puddles there was a tarpaulin that could keep them eye-catching until they sank into the water.
- The ultra-conservative Victorians have outgrown any imagination now, have not they?
Really interesting!!!
