Welcome to Tuesday Trivia!

If you are:

• a long-time reader, lurker, or inquirer who has always felt too nervous to contribute an answer
• new to /r/AskHistorians and getting a feel for the community
• Looking for feedback on how well you answer
• polishing up a flair application
• one of our amazing flairs

this thread is for you ALL!

Come share the cool stuff you love about the past!

We do not allow posts based on personal or relatives' anecdotes. Brief and short answers are allowed but MUST be properly sourced to respectable literature. All other rules also apply—no bigotry, current events, and so forth.

For this round, let’s look at: Clothing & Costumes! No one tell the emperor, but this week is about clothing & costumes. Got a favorite outfit you want to talk about it detail that would be too much for anyone other subreddit? Bring it here so we can celebrate it! Share what you know about the process of making stuff to protect our bits, people who've designed or created the stuff to protect our bits, or anything related to the layers we put on top of our skin!
