In order for capitalism to work, you need a permanent underclass of who people work shitty jobs for no or little pay and live shorter, shitty lives, and you need them to pop out babies—babies you've forced them to create and birth—trapped in the same circumstance. Like slavery.

This is a perfect example of a costuming habit which drives me nuts: disregarding drape and fit in favor of contemporary tailoring. Look where the shoulder seams are. Women's clothing used to be MUCH boxier and fit bigger, and period projects of this era rarely reflect it.
