The #1 question I get asked: “How did they use the bathroom in those dresses?” 🚽 It looks impossible, but it was actually very simple! The secret was the split-crotch drawer. No zippers, no buttons, and definitely no need to undress. You just find your chamber pot, position it between your petticoat layers, and away you go. No queues, no cubicles, just ingenious historical design. ✨ What’s a modern “convenience” that you actually think is a step backward? 👇 #FashionHistory #HistoricalCostuming

Many people ask me how toilets were used in the past. I own a chamber pot chair from the Victorian era and a porcelain chamber pot. In Victorian times, pantaloon underwear had a hole in the crotch, so you didn't have to take off your panties when using the chamber pot. Interesting, isn't it? 😄 #19thcentury #historical #historicalfashion #history #toilet #victorianera #chamberpotchair #porcelainchamberpot | Duchess Milianda
