8th centrury England looked like 21st century Afghanistan. Check out these burkha babes:

Plate IX Dresses of the Anglo-Saxon Women of the eighth Century.
Plate X The Dresses of the Women of the eighth Century continued.
Plate XI The Summer Dress & Travelling Habit of the Ladies of the eighth Century.
Plate XII An Anglo-Saxon Lady of the eighth Century in full Dress.
