Why all this medieval love for the pear shape you might ask? Well, I mean first off, let people like what they like, and whatever. Secondly – we have a theory and it involves clothes.

According to dress theory, what people find to be sexy is a lot of times predicated by how clothes fit. If a particular type of clothing is the norm, the theory goes, the body that mostly closely corresponds to that fit of clothing will be what is considered sexy. Clothing then mimics that body for those who don’t necessarily already have it.

The thing is, in terms of “fashion” most medieval people didn’t have the money or time to worry about fashionable clothing. They needed to get dressed and get out in the field, and tended to wear clothing that allowed them to do that.

In contrast, medieval rich people (nobles, traders in cities, royalty) were specifically interested in signaling their societal level through dress.[1] This a lot of the time meant using more cloth than was necessary to show that a) you could afford a lot of cloth, and b) you weren’t working in  fields so you could extremely wear a lot of stuff that might slow you down. AKA fashion was a form of conspicuous consumption (like it is now), and showed your societal level.[2]  And I mean, yeah, fancy medieval dresses appeared to look like this. Check it
