In your opinions what is the worst or silliest ever fashions through history..

Ill go for the Ruff and the Crinoline dress, but while looking through for some photos I spied this womans creations for gypsy weddings in England, Ive never seen one except on TV but oh my god.. what are some people thinking... Thelma Madine creates these dresses.. Anyway on with the photos... the Ruff. what a ridiculous fashion.






Now some modern crinoline dresses... how did women manage back in the day, but then only the rich would wear them Id imagine with big houses with even bigger doors.. Fiddly Dee and all that..this is an actual wedding dress.. worn by the gypsy community brides.. back to the past..to think women got around in these dresses is amazing..







Im just reading about the dangers of some fashions from the past...

I think most fashion trends after a few decades look ridiculous. There are very few "timeless" fashion trends, victorian fashion comes to mind.

The contemporary fashion plague of yoga pants and leggings. I think they call it Athleisure.
