I have watched those videos of how previous generations used to dress- no wonder they needed lady’s maids, there were so many layers (not to mention all the buttons up the back and the ties and the long hair etc)

It can actually be done in minutes, provided you're used to it. And the most fastidious details were usually only for the most well off, so if you're a working class woman you won't need a maid to dress you :)
There are a lot of videos on youtube dispelling the myth of how difficult it was to actually put on and live in these clothes. Obviously it's more fuss that a t-shirt and jeans, but not all that much!
