Have you ever before thought about why we wear the kind of clothes we do? Packed with outlandish outfits, this exciting record of fashion styles reveals the flamboyant styles used (and discarded) by our ancestors. In the days before cosmetic surgery, people used bum rolls and bombastic breeches to augment their results, painted their encounters with poisonous concoctions, and doused themselves with scent to pay body odor. Take a fresh look at history's invisible fashion disasters and find out a few of the stories behind historical garments:

  • How taking away a middle ages woman's headdress could show her as a harlot
  • Why Tudor men bought and sold in their oversized codpieces for corsets
  • How crinoline caused a spate of shoplifting among Victorian ladies
Karen Bowman charts our sartorial record from the animal skins first used to pay our modesty and show off hunting skills, right up to the twentieth-century drive for practicality and comfort. Corsets and Codpieces is a fascinating listen for record buffs and fashionistas equally.
