Working class women in the Victorian era are treated rather differently from the upper class ladies in terms of clothing. While the ladies have their corsets strapped as tight as possible to give the illusion of a tiny waist, working class women instead have their corsets looser, so as to not inconvenience them in their daily activities. Their outer clothes are also different, with upper classes wearing more and working classes wearing less. The upper class ladies dress more to improve on their appearance, no matter how inconvenient it may be, but the working classes wear as simple as was appropriate, so as to not hinder their work.
