Up in smoke
Victorian fashion was sometimes a matter of life and death. The airy fabrics of full-skirted 19th-century gowns were incredibly flammable. Oscar Wilde’s half-sisters died after a Halloween party when candlesticks set their gowns on fire. And they weren’t the only ones to suffer this painful fate. At one point, it was estimated that 3,000 women died in crinoline-related fires.
