      My great aunts crocheted doilies that were starched really stiff so the ruffled edges stood at attention just like these ruffs. They'd be sitting on the end tables in their sitting rooms, and often held lead crystal candy dishes filled with homemade rum balls. I still have several, though I don't take them out much. Another fyi in case anyone is interested, don't ever store anything starched but wash it first -- starch is made from potato or corn, so it's essentially sugar and attracts insects. Only starch your shirts or linens when you're ready to use them! 🙂

    The way sagging is today. Worse fashion ever, especially the modern version which the top part sags while the leg parts are tight. *scratches head* I don't get it. In the 1990s, the pants were big all around, but this modern look of baggy at the waist and tight on the legs is stupid and not attractive at all. It also lost its meaning which came from the prison system providing pants that were too big on most inmates, so became a sign of poverty and even protest against unjust prison system. 🤷‍♀️Also, another terrible trend is skinny jeans for men.
