It seems like the 20's was an era where the flatter & less attractive a woman could/would dress the more 'in' she was. Oh, Lordy, if she wasn't flat chested, why, she'd be labeled a social outcast!

This is what ISIS wants all women to wear.

I think that even these garments wouldn't do, Jeff. Their ankles are showing.

Reminds me of the infamous Nigella Lawson "burkini" of a couple years back.

Actually perfect for a small-boat sailing cruise. Bad weather, keep the jumper on; weather turns good, ditch the jumper and whip out the bod.

I think Maryanne, Ginger and Mrs. Howell all look smashing in those things.

This is the De rigueur fashion for a night out with you Fremen friends on Arrakis.

KDP, you must have good eyesight, as I see no ankles.
