| Costume Design Robert Crafter 1908 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Dating to about 1908, this costume design by Robert Crafter was created for Vesta Tilley for an unidentified production.
Miss Tilley is shown in male attire, but Crafter has feminized the outfit in order to showcase Miss Tilley’s feminine figure. This was a departure for the star who, when dressed as a man, strove to truly look the part.

Scandalous!
Ironic, too...I am still dealing with the issue of whether it is best to wear a *dress* (ugh pantyhose are way worse than ties lol, and never mind wearing shoes unless they have at least 1.5" heels, then *ouch)...
I'd like to think women have the option now to wear slacks in the business place, but I'm dealing with older peeps who don't always feel that way...
Back 'in the day', it was so much easier. Unless you were wealthy you had a "weekday" dress and the "Sunday" dress...Wow that must have been boring tho'. :)
