solely to show that I'm paying attention, Whit! , here are two on the theme of women's clothing:
--------------
Upon Julia's Clothes
Robert Herrick 1591 - 1674
Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweeetly flows
The liquification of her clothes!

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
~O how that glittering taketh me!

and a long one, best cited by url: Nothing to Wear by William Allen Butler. 1825–1902. The poem's tone suddenly veers around line 300, to make a brutally direct point crystalized in the final line.

But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare,
When at the same moment she had on a dress
Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less,
And jewelry worth ten times more, I should guess,
That she had not a thing in the wide world to wear!
