Wild West Fashions!
Women who populated the wild west were strong, smart, and capable of doing just about anything—which makes me believe they should have had clothing suited to that way of life. And I suppose they did, to an extent. But every time I think of a woman walking beside a wagon on a dusty trail or sitting for days in a cramped stagecoach wearing layers of fabric, my head reels! I can't imagine doing that!
It is lots of fun to research women's clothing of the time. In A Wylder Christmas, the heroine Violet goes to the mercantile for some "unmentionables" for her unexpected houseguest. It was entertaining (and informative!) to learn about undergarments of the time.
