It was commonplace for women of the time periods that wore dresses like our MC, to use the bathroom with their dress still on, fun facts!! :3 A chamberpot or a bucket for waste was easy to squat over, and the dress itself acted as a curtain for privacy. This is why undergarments from that time were also designed to have an open seam around the private areas -- so it was easier for women to just squat and do their business !!!

...what about the mosquito? Bugs? Flies? They didn't exist? How very convenient
