Wedding etiquette in the victorian era Videos

21st century. Spends ample time with an on-line corset fetish group. VERY 21st century, right down to the fake rape and sexual assault claims.

However, the shock she talks about of going from country life to city life is a bit skewed. Farmers in the country had to work just as hard for no wages. They worked outdoors as well as in. We forget how much of life was spent surviving. Weaving, knitting, cooking, milking, cleaning. I sometimes think too, while a servants life was lonely, it was the only opportunity to have a private bed. In many farmers' homes, as well as in the industrial revolution apartments were wall to wall people. To sleep in your own bed, in an odd way would have been rare. All respect to servants, and thanks for a fresh look at them. We shouldn't romantasize the period, but these folk were in many ways made of stronger stuff than we are.

I'd like a Butler.
