| In the 19th and early 20th centuries, upper-class women loved to wear large, puffy skirts with an inner skirt and an outer skirt.

One of the most famous cases of death due to the above skirt was Emma Musson. Specifically, in 1898, Emma (16 years old) was burned alive when a lump of coal accidentally rolled out of the stove and fell on her skirt. |

| In February 2017, a couple (49 and 50 years old) and their daughter (12 years old) were found dead in their home in the city of Alicante, Spain. Investigators discovered that the three members of this family were crushed to death by hundreds of kilograms of clothes piled up in the house. The cause of this tragic incident was that the couple suffered from a type of Diogenes Syndrome - a disease that caused them to have a hobby of "collecting" clothes to bring home. |
