[Stefan li Rous]

Ciorstan quoted from a book:
> "Very few of the garments, ranging
> in date from an early seventeenth-century gown at Hardwick Hall,
> Derbyshire, to a beaded evening dress made in 1914, would fit a dummy
> with the figure of an average Englishwoman of the 1990's.  At 5'4in,
> 36B
> -25.5-36 and 9st 9.4lb, today's woman has added two inches to her bust
> in just twenty years and nearly half an inch to her height in a decade.
Wow. What modern surgery and silicone can do! :-)
