I would also like to see more historical clothing AND more historical clothing from different class backgrounds.  There seems to be a lot of wealth worship going on in the 3D community.  That being said, how about instead of another mini skirt or impossibel /impractical "adventuress" ensemble, could someone create a realistic looking ruffled collar-style Renaissance outfit for Mike 3 or David, or Vicki 3 for that matter?  How about a non-ball gown style dress for 17th-19th century females?  Or if creators would like to work on one of those enormous dresses, how about going all out and making an ornate Elizabeth I gown? And most importantly, how about some realistic period HAIR?  For example, the only real example of the sort of ridiculously gigantic wigs worn by 17th and 18th century French nobility is Neftis' Pompadour hair.  Nice hair, but what if I want two women in the same scene?  They wouldn't both have the same hair style.

My feeling is that clothing creators are essentially making what they feel will sell best, so I don't imagine any of this will change soon.  But look at the popularity of the Aiko 3 Marie Antoinette gown from Runtime DNA.  

A note to clothing creators:  If you build it, they will come.
