  • Weird History: Deadliest Fashion Fad?

    Today we discuss one of the most deadliest fashion fads in history: the Victorian Crinoline Skirts (aka hoop skirts). These were made to spread the dresses away from the body & could reach up tp 6ft in circumference! They also had a propensity to get caught on a lot of things; let alone cause many, many accidents and deaths. This one is a bit longer than usual, but there's a lot of information and a LOT of craziness!!

In the meantime, please bear with us & don’t forget to visit our social media for any new updates and postings. We will bring you your weekly dose of history back real soon. Thanks for all of your support and patience & we will talk with you all real soon!
