Triple-Tied Shoelaces and Other Implausibles

Interesting closures.  The first two remind me of old victorian dresses with the lines of buttons down the back that I can't imagine would be very fun, or a productive use of time to undo at the end of the day.

And now the ties, adding interest in usually ignored areas of clothing, and performing the functional purpose of tightening two loose ends.

And these butterfly snap/hook things on the skirt are a necessity, to avoid some sort of tmi wardrobe malfunction, as well as a cool detail.
