John Willie - History of the Hobble Skirt
The Hobble Skirt - from The Best of Bizarre
Women seem to get a craze every now and then for the most unreasonable garments. The ancient Egyptians wore a skin tight one piece frock which showed every curve and in which only the tiniest of tiny steps could be taken, so tight was it way down to the ankles.
This is something that man can understand, for the more clingingly tight the frock the more it shows the figure (and that's all to the mustard) but the hobble skirt showed nothing – it simply hobbled.
