You know the phrase, I put my pants on one leg at a time.

There are certain things we all do in getting dressed as one of them.

But the clothes we choose to wear, from their function to fashion,

say a lot about us as individuals, our culture, our stature,

and our history. After all, there's another saying, the clothes make the man. But when you're too young to dress yourself, do clothes make the child, or do clothes make the parent? In the fascinating

episode we're sharing today from the podcast Dressed, The History of Fashion,

hosts April Callahan and Cassidy Zachary, discuss how parents in the 16th through 19th centuries

dress their toddlers, not for fashion, but for safety.

It turns out leashes and helmets aren't just modern tools of coddling parents.

I hope you enjoy.
