CORRECTIONS: ✔️ ► In this video I state that many women at the bazaar were wearing hoop skirts and other voluminous dresses that made it difficult to move. In fact, by this time, hoop skirts would largely have gone out of fashion. The main issues caused by clothing during the disaster related to the flammability of materials used rather than the space they took up. ​​​​​​​#documentary​​​​ #history​​​​​​​​​ #truestories​ #fire #france #cinema
