In the early 1900's Paul Poiret was credited with eliminating the corset and the petticoat from women's dress design. He was also responsible for the introduction of the hobble skirt, which wrapped tightly around the ankles. This resulted in at least one fatality when a woman wearing a hobble skirt fell off a bridge and drowned because she was unable to free her legs.
