Read this excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde:

In these days, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters. This process would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modern husband when called upon to pay his wife’s bills.
