@Xeredge right? in most stories even if the character is bad or just talks to the MC cuz is convenient, they wouldn't say anything or just make the MC tolerate their attitude because they are handsome. glad they don't do that .... I don't know about the novel but at least that is how it is in the manhwa.
It wasn't illegal, simply improper. It was inappropriate for adults, men and women alike, to show so much skin. That is why the knee-length dresses of the 1920s were so scandalous; so much skin hadn't been show previous to that.
I just now realized that Madam Fortnum's name is based off of the tea company Fortnum and Mason.
As a tea lover, i feel so disappointed in myself for just now realizing it 40 episodes into the series XD
