Women had to be dressed how they were expected . Victorian Dress is based on shape, your personality, the money you have , and your life. They basically make your life for you and tell you how to dress so it wasn't easy for the people in the Victorian Era. Most women were told what to do more rather than follow their dreams . It was hard for women to follow there dreams back then because they have all kinds of things to do and they have no books or anything to learn with. The men had it easy because all they had to do was work for the money and they came home to food on the table and the house clean so they don't have to do anything. The women worked really hard in the Victorian Era is what i think because of how they had to act and how they were expected to do everything.
The Victorian Era dress was very important. The men didn't have any kind of way they had to be dressed , but the women did. The women couldn't show their legs and had to be dressed properly before they went outside. The men could go out in public with her legs showing and not get in trouble for it because the Victorian Era wasn't really fair. To go outside women had to have children and they had to be a perfect women. If you weren't a perfect you couldn't be accepted into the Victorian Era
