2. Dress Lenghth The longer a woman's dress was, was the indication of how old she was. Unlike people today, these ladies wanted to wear longer skirts or dresses.

3. Pale Skin...Is Sexy? Back in the Victorian Era, to be pale was considered attractive because it meant that you didn't have to work in the fields to make a living. To become more pale, women could avoid fresh air or drink vinegar.

4. Hair Hair styles for women were typically very long. They hardly ever got their hair cut, unless they had gotten lice.

5. Cosmetics For a woman to wear make-up, apart from the actresses, was wrong. They had bare faces, but some occasionally wore a small amount of blush.
