Abstract: The article discusses the difficulties of shopping and suggests that shopping as a wealthy late-19th-century matron would be the ideal. Dressing off the rack is always attended by mean shop assistants and the vagaries of self-esteem. In the past, the rich would be taken by carriage to shops, order around the attendants, and pay by credit, while the poor would wear hand-tailored clothes.
