Wholesome 19th century etiquette rule
(lemmy.world)
Less wholesome if you were to ask the authors about a man feeling that he looks better in women's clothes.
"Also, women adorned in traditionally men's clothes are hot!"
Based
I have my suspicions those are not men's clothes, but we're designed for her specifically.
Are we?
I know I am, look at that figure.
She just wants pockets, I don't blame her.
Her outfit is literally killing her, humans aren’t naturally shaped that way
She's asked the artist to give her the hourglass figure and the artist just went "okie dokie"

Picture is slightly altered and made to look like an unaltered book page, but still I think it represents the source well.
You can see the smudge on the “or” is present in the original too, so we can tell that it was copied from there.
For a moment I thought the coat she is putting on/taking off was part of the other lady's dress. I was intrigued by where her left arm was going.
It's too bad that "modern" people can have the attitude of "If it makes you happy, go for it". Everyone wants to tell everyone else how they should live.
Asking for women - does a suit make your waist than thin? Cause dayum
No but a sufficiently suffocating whalebone corset probably will.
