If you were dead, would you have much choice?
Gives new meaning to the term "wall flower", doesn't it?

The "dead monks" one is quite remarkable as a resource for period clothing. It is amazing how ornate some of the ceremonial garb for priests was, centuries ago. The mummy of St. Eustochia from 1455 is particularly striking in the intricacy of the garb, even if it was replaced some time after death.
