The problem is that in many cases, the more fashionable something is, the more uncomfortable or even dangerous it is to wear. Perhaps the earliest fashions 'to die for' (Iiteraly) were conceived in post-revolutionary France. Women then wore thin linen dresses which they had to wet to make them take on the shape of their bodies. They then went out in all kinds of weather wit h the wet clothes on. The result of this fashion was a new illness, linen flu, which led to many premature deaths. In Victorian times women’s clothes could also prove fatal. Their corsets were so tight that most women had severe digestive problems, while the ncredibly wide dresses regularly caused the death of fashionable young women. As they walked past open fireplaces, their dresses frequently caught fire, and nobody could get close enough to them to put the fire out.
