Video - Victorian Era: Fashion, Beauty, and Superstitions!

Women wore tightly laced corsets to achieve that hourglass figure, often causing their internal organs to shift. Ouch! And let's not forget about the arsenic-laced face powders they used to get that "perfect" complexion. Talk about killer beauty! Oh, and mourning fashion was taken to the next level; widows were expected to wear black for up to two years! Imagine your entire wardrobe being a fashion funeral.
