I always thought that “woman pulls something out of her cleavage” was really just sort of a cliche historically
But nope
I’m reading this incredibly niche book about the history of pockets, and there is a picture of a pair of stays from the 18th century that someone sewed a giant pocket inside of
It was apparently a big thing for women who wanted to keep their money safe or to steal it off of other people and hide it quickly
INCREDIBLE

When Noir's actively planning to steal something, they wear a bra because they found that it's a convenient place to hide things and also the first (and last) time Miguel saw them pull a tin can from their bra he was incredibly pissed off

this isnt exactly tmi but well. i have a bra that is like. industrial like there's machinery in there. and i only break it out in two situations max (laundry day or on the off chance that im so tired that i need a piece of clothing to physically hold my torso up. and i am not small chested so that's really saying smth) but it's so self sufficient that i just learned that one of the detachable straps popped off the bodice hours ago but it didn't even register cause quite frankly among the boning and the gears i suspect they put in there those little straps are the least of the mechanisms that keep that shit up

Okay so what are circle mages allowed to learn life skill wise? Obviously they are taught how to read, can't live in a place that's just a huge library and not, but beyond that what?
Wnnye knows how to mend clothing, according to dialogue between her and Alistair, so they can learn at least some form of sewing skills. How much though I don't know, is it something they need to get permission to get supplies of for from the supply room, similar to things for projects such as with the Rod of Fire?
The Circle is a place purposely set up to deny it's wards the opportunities to learn basic life skills so they remain dependent on the Chantry and it's amenities, however by virtue of not everyone getting their magic at an age where they learn nothing of a normal life before being kidnapped from their families and homes, some of the older apprentices brought in will know how to do tasks that otherwise a mage could be denied.
At what point is a skill considered harmless enough to let them learn, such as how to mend their own clothes, and to what point does it get that they are denied any opportunity to learn it, as I imagine what happens with cooking, which is either handled by tranquil, Chantry priests, or servants hired from outside. What is a Circle mages day to day life outside of their lectures and experiments?
