My best guess would’ve been 1600’s or 1700’s Somebody said Snow White was supposed to be Russian - how accurate do you think thst would be? I thought the castle and clothes pointed to Central Europe rather than Russia.
The thing is, even those celebrities that haven't had work done often look better than us "peasants" because they can afford to have their make-up and hair done by professionals, they have clothes made to fit them or have store-bought clothing altered for a perfect fit, and those clothes perfectly matched by a stylist. And then they have their photo taken by someone who knows what they're doing. A lot of us muck about with whatever makeup our best friend recommended when we were 14, buy things that don't suit our body type, and wonder why our old phone just won't do a good selfie.
If people think corsets of the past are bad they should try knickers of the present. The crotch lining has a seam right on the clitoral head, sometimes the seams aren't even flat, the crotch width is often made to fit one single labium when there are four labia that are supposed to go there, leg holes are disproportionally small compared to the rest of the garment's size which gives you groin pain, the garment either shrink or get too loose after just a few washes, the backside of the garment either give you a double-butt or wanders to places where the sun doesn't shine, and if you're ever able to find a pair that you're happy with you can rest assured that the store has stopped selling them when you're about to buy more of them.
When archeologists found a woman buried with armour in 1870s, it changed how they had been studying earlier burials. It was assumed that all burials of warriors were men. Finding this woman with armour and weapons made the researchers reinvestigate previous finds to look at them anew to see if the burials were of women. Their bias was that since only men in their age were warriors, then all previous warriors were men. More women have been historically found that were educated. In any family business, all family were involved. Woman had to run a household and helped with managing a business with keeping accounts and teaching childrenand apprentices. When men were away on business or in the military, then wives and widows kept the business running. On farms woman may have run the more domestic tasks, but at spring planting and then harvesting everyone worked.
