Many signs are associated with ordinary things that a person encounters every day.
For example, it is believed that representatives of the fair sex should wear skirts in a certain way.
If a girl puts on this clothing through her legs, she scares off suitors, which means that she will not get married soon. If a married young lady puts on a thing in this way, they say that she can lose her husband.
In addition, if you believe the signs, there is a risk of catching diseases from clothes that touched the floor.
Ancestors also noted that it is not necessary to take off a skirt through the legs. They believed that in this case a woman is deprived of energy power.
But there is also a rational explanation for this sign.
In the past, sewing a skirt took a lot of time and effort. This meant that they tried to take care of it, not allowing it to come into contact with the ground, so that it wouldn't get dirty.
It was also common to wear several skirts at once. It was almost impossible to take them all off through the legs. The things got wrinkled and dirty.
