This article just caught my eye and cracked me up. If you are having a bad day, this wil definitely make u smile...
A pair of Queen Victoria's bloomer were sold for $9000 dollars at an auction. She was said to be 5 ft tall and the bloomers are about 50 inches in waist.
"The handmade knickers — which date back to the 1890s — bear the monogram "VR" for Victoria Regina. They are open-crotch style, with separate legs joined by a drawstring at the waist, a popular style in the late Victorian era."
Her chemise, with a bust of 66 inches sold for $8000 and her nightgown for $11,000.
More on the article,
"Queen Victoria lived from 1819 to 1901. She became queen at age 18 and was the U.K.'s longest-reigning monarch. Her reign is noted for both imperial expansion and the decreasing political power of the monarch."
I really thought this was interesting...
