Mother Hubbard dress vs. contemporary European women's fashions

[edit]

The "Mother Hubbard" dress was loose at the waist (as can be seen in the photograph), and worn without corsets, so it was to some degree a compromise, or a watered-down version of full European styles. AnonMoos (talk) 18:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See File:Mrs. Dyer and Princess Ofa.jpg for a contrast between a western woman wearing a fitted dress and an islander wearing a "Mother Hubbard"... AnonMoos (talk) 15:01, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
