Young women were expected to learn proper etiquette such as how to walk and talk during the Victorian era. Gentlemen were only allowed to kiss a woman's hand, forehead or cheek and were to use little perfume so as not to smell more than the ladies. Proper etiquette also dictated that a woman should lift her dress and hold it a certain way while crossing the street, and that invitations should be sent 7 to 10 days before a party or get together.
