Victorian women wore cages, known as crinolines or bustles, under their dresses to create a fashionable silhouette that emphasized an hourglass figure. These structures were designed to support the elaborate styles of the time, allowing for voluminous skirts that symbolized wealth and social status. However, they also restricted movement and were often uncomfortable, reflecting the rigid societal expectations placed on women during the Victorian era.
