pros of women's fastidious passion for clothes: lots of info on historical fashion

#I always have to type 'men's' in the Google search or all the results are women's fashion by default#I started reading Locke Lamora and I'm trying SO hard to pin down the eras/locales of inspiration#obviously Venice but I'm getting a vibe that Vadran is either Habsburger or Switzerland#and the eras could be anywhere between 15th-18th century#though I think 1500-1650 is more likely#history#x#also that one line introducing the Don's bodyguard had me reeling for a second#'he had the waistline of a dancer'#'it was easy to identify the service he provided given the thigh-length stilettos at his belt' or smth#I was like '.....stiletto is a knife right?
