Wikified and moved ... is it OK now? Graham87 05:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good, and hopefully easy, to add some background to this and take it to DYK. e.g. [1] says "In 1907 one lady was arrested for wearing a costume that exposed her arms and feet" Trove has lots of sources, and some have PD images.[2] John Vandenberg ^(chat) 12:19, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
