Getting dressed in the 14th century was a pain in the ass
by Seamus Bellamy from on (#3QDB2)
For women, getting dressed in 14th-century Europe was apparently a full-time job.
So. Many. Layers.
That someone - probably some dude that never had to wear the stuff - thought it was a good idea to complicate things by making it so that you couldn't get dressed without assistance from a family member or servant? Ugh.
