grrrr why did people ever stop wearing mid-renaissance clothes

#yes I am mad bc I wanna go to fetes galantes with a friend in a few years #which will mean having to make a baroque gown and I just think Baroque dresses are so ugly 😭#give me back my beautiful renaissance shapes please!!! I am crying I am shaking etc #and by renaissance I do not mean whatever rigid monstrocities the british had going on during the tudor and elisabethan era #I mean my beautiful German/Dutch renaissance soft shapes #with just absolute madness in the sleeves and in the details #like at least rococo is a little fun bc panniers but baroque? I want to throw myself off a cliff.#'Early 16th century is when Central European fashion peaked and honestly we should've just kept that' remains the hill I will die on #like it's so fun and so stupid. you want a big silly hat? have a big silly hat! you want the poofiest sleeves to ever poof? go for it!#You want an ornamented fake bulge that is very dick shaped that has a little pocket in it for treats to give to the ladies #(top 10 flirting tips they don't tell you about! Works every time!!!)? Boy do I have the accessory for you!#but no we must have weird flowy shapes and then not even commit to that also lets all wear the worst hairstyle anyone has #ever conceived of. that's a good idea!#just completely lost literally what were people on about back then? A fucking disgrace I'm telling you!

Inspired by @english-history-trip, I decided to make my own "history what-ifs" poll, pretty much covering the Stuarts and Hanovarians.

I decided to forego any heirs of the throne who died prematurely or asking the question what would have happened had childless monarchs had (surviving) children, and focussed on some different events, some of which would have been more, some less likely to have been successful.

However, a successful French invasion was as much feared in 1805 as some loyal cavaliers were rumoured to be murmuring that Elizabeth Stuart would make a good monarch. Since none of these things have come to pass in this our universe, let us embark on merry, not all too serious speculations-- have fun voting, speculating, and adding any suggestions you may have!
