Introducing Dressed

Meet the newest show from How Stuff Works. From the 1820s to the 1920s, millions of women embraced the fashion of ornamental plumage. Learn why feathers forced fashionistas to abandon their carriage seats for floors, why an egret's plumes go for $3k when a hummingbird's are nowhere near as valuable, and what's possibly the world's weirdest memoir. (Spoiler: It's told from the point of view of a feather!)
