Because panties did not become universal, or mostly so, until the end of the 1800. (And early 19th century—Jane Austen’s period—women’s clothing usually wasn’t four or more layers except in cold weather. Heck very fashionable ladies at that time wore very thin fabric dresses and wetted them so they were transparent. It wasn’t til Vic came to the throne that clothing went all “Victorian.”
