Its purpose was to give men a special area in which to shop for the ladies in their lives."  If so... this would have been one of those dresses that might have sold with a green coat!  Wouldn't THAT have been smashing!  Or black coat with green gloves and shoes?  Damn, wouldn't it have been great to live back then to dress like that?  Oh wait, you CAN still dress like that...  :)
