Edwardian A BRIEF HISTORY OF FASHION For each era, we have provided a brief history of the key fashion elements and styles. Learn about the origins of the Regency empire dress, Victorian bustled ballgown, or the "Gibson Girl" blouse of the Gilded Age. ANCIENT MEDIEVAL RENAISSANCE ELIZABETHAN During the Elizabethan period, fashion served as a mode for self-expression for all social classes. At the beginning of the era, women's clothing was particularly modest, with garments designed to cover nearly every inch of the wearer's body, from neck to ankle. Gowns were characterized by a fitted bodice to accent the wearer's small waist, square shoulders, and a ruffled yoke (particularly for the upper classes, as ruffles indicated high social status). Women's shoes were not particularly important during the period, as they were always hidden by floor-length skirts. Wealthy ladies often wore large gold pendants and a French "hood" on the neck for adornment. As the period progressed, waistlines became straight (as opposed to a V-shaped "princess" cut of earlier years), and sleeves became tight-fitted, rather than ruffled. A headdress known as a "snood" was a type of hairnet that became highly popular during the Elizabethan era. Similar headdresses appeared, such as a bag-coif which featured a gathered bag at the back covering the wearer's head. The fabric of the bag could match the dress, or could be made of a plain black silk, covered with gold netting. In Italy, a fashionable early 16th century headdress known as the "balzo" was similar to a snood. It was a large gathered bag, often made of woven strips of fabric, fancy gold material and lace, or other materials, worn over the hair. From the front, it looked more like a roll worn over the hair, as the greater portion of its bulk was above the head.

BROWSE MODELS Article History of tattoos By Vince Hemingson Their is ample anthropological and archeological evidence to show that women have been altering the appearance of their breasts in order to enhance their attractiveness since the dawn of time. I am speaking primarily of tattooing, but also of body-painting and piercing. This phenomenon is more widespread than isolated and cuts across many different cultures around the world. Mummies of ancient Egyptian courtesans show that their breasts and bellies were tattooed. Berber women in North Africa still tattoo their breasts with beauty marks to this day. Tattooing of the breasts has been practiced by the women of the hill tribes of The Philippines, the Maoris of New Zealand, many of the Polynesians of the South Pacific, and many of the native peoples of North America. It is an extraordinarily common practice. If, as many of us would believe, breasts approach perfection, why would so many cultures advocate and encourage their alteration, some might even say mutilation? Like most things in life there is probably no one answer but a number of theories have been put forward. Tattooing in many cultures is a ritual closely tied to the rite of passage from adolescence to adulthood. In both men and women tattooing demonstrated to the rest of the community that the individual tattooed was now an adult, ready to take on an adult role and assume adult responsibilities. The tattooing was a rite that was painful and bloody, a clear demarcation line between childhood and adulthood. For men, it meant they were now warriors, expected to protect the community with their lives if necessary. For women it meant they were now sexually mature and ready to bear children

Related Articles Fashion Along the Nile Status Through Fashion in the Middle Ages Victorian Mourning Garb About the Author Christiane Truelove was an odd kid from North Jersey who turned into an odder adult with interests in history, costuming, fashion, clothes, and music. A former newspaper copy editor and now a writer and editor for a trade magazine, she lives in Bucks County, PA, with her loving and extraordinarily patient husband, Thom, and two cats, Pixel and Noon. Tudor Fashion Christiane Truelove Tudor fashion By the reign of Henry VIII (1485-1505), the prevalent mode of dress for men and women, the late medieval houppelande and cotehardie, had started to give way to something else. The cotehardie, a form-fitting gown (worn long or short by men, and very long by women) had evolved into the kirtle for women, which was essentially the same as the cotehardie, being tight through the bodice and over the hip, with skirts flaring out from the hips. Minor neckline and belting changes differentiated the kirtle from the cotehardie. Shoes for both men and women were low, broad and square-toed, with soles of cork or leather.

In the 1950s, everybody wanted to dress like Elvis. Princess Diana set many fashion trends. King Louis XIV of France had a definite fashion sense. "A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world." -Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams, May 1, 1780 F ashion is something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day. One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear. Ray-Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men In Black . Sometimes a trend is world-wide. Back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley. Who dictates fashion? Musicians and other cultural icons have always influenced what we're wearing, but so have political figures and royalty. Newspapers and magazines report on what Hillary Clinton wears. The recent death of Diana, the Princess of Wales, was a severe blow to the high fashion world, where her clothes were daily news. Even folks in the 1700s pored over fashion magazines to see the latest styles. Women and dressmakers outside the French court relied on sketches to see what was going on. The famous French King Louis XIV said that fashion is a mirror. Louis himself was renowned for his style, which tended towards extravagant laces and velvets.

91. Fashion: The History Of Tailoring in fashion and the art of tailoring sewing machines now do the work on straight seams better than could be done by hand; new fabric technology has history http://www.lone-star.net/mall/literature/tailor4.htm

The History of Tailoring: An Overview by G. Bruce Boyer The knowledge and art of tailoring, of cutting and sewing cloth the two basic aspects of constructing clothes from a pattern developed slowly and gradually in Europe between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. The Oxford English Dictionary's first reference to the word "tailor" gives the specific date of 1297; and certainty by that date tailoring guilds, as well as those of weavers, and cloth merchants were well established in Europe. During the Middle Ages clothing had been regarded as a means of concealing the body. But with the Renaissance came the accentuation of the human form. The loose robe, that standard uniform of the medieval period so easily constructed from a single piece or two of cloth, was shortened and tightened, and eventually cut, pieced, and sewn together in attempts to bring into prominence the contours of the human form. This was the birth of tailoring and, in fact, of fashion. These attempts at re-constructing the human body in fabric called for a growing expert skill and division of labor. Soon the cutter (the one who makes the pattern) and tailor (the one who does the sewing) joined other craftsmen as important members of the community. Until this time the cloth had been the distinguishing feature of garments, and the wearer took most of the responsibility for the design ~ and, in most cases, the actual production ~ of his own clothes. But little by little, the tailor took on equal importance with the weaver, and gradually came to overshadow him. Master tailors in the growing towns eventually became responsible for the clothing needs of society, and the art and science of tailoring became a highly specialized, complex, and jealously guarded craft.
