Austrian musical prodigy and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born #OnThisDay in 1756. He began performing in concerts at 6, published his first piece of music (a violin sonata in 5 parts) at 8, and wrote his first opera at 11...puts those swimming badges into perspective!

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) was an English poet and woman of letters, regarded as the first female travel writer. Known for her wit and defiance of convention, she led the Bluestocking society and stated, “I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.” #wittywednesdays

S for Stays.
‘Stays’ is the term used for the boned laced bodices worn from the late 16th to late 18th-century.
A symbol of womanly virtue, stays turned the torso into a stiff cone shape, supporting the bust and providing a solid base for draping garments.

B for Breeches.
Breeches were worn by all 18th-century men, but Viscount Fairfax wouldn't be seen dead in any that weren’t buckskin or silk!
FYI: breeches are often confused with pantaloons (what Mr Darcy wears), a closer-fitting variety buttoned below the knee.
