|Those words| seem important (or maybe they just stand out in my mind because she said them 🤤); so I found out a little more about |those word| (below-linked to the above shared post) and share my findings with you below---maybe I'll add some notes beneath (and/or you might start/continue the discussion in the comments).
The word |Edwardian| describes Fashion from the Time of the Reign of King #Edward (1901 - 1910 ... of course adding -ian, and the style (in men's clothing) is also referred-to as |Teddy-Boy).
The name |Edward| is built of ancient words that mean "Guardian of Wealth, -Prosperity" (see |Edith, |Ward).
just like #Ed #Eddie
The word |Blouse| comes from a word for "a Workman's or |Peasant's |Smock," a word which might come from ancient words that mean "Short (Wool)" or from |Pelusium (a city in Upper |Egypt which was a Clothing Manufacturing Center).
just like #Blouses
The word |Bodice| was once an oddly spelled |Plural of "Body" (as the Body of the Elizabethan Corset came in Two Parts).
