2. VÊTEMENTS
(CLOTHING)
Laver, James. (1966), 8-9.
In the fifteen
hundred years the
essential lines of
costume are
hardly changed.
Both Greek
woman and the
early medieval
king wear what is
in effect a tunic
and a cloak.
Up to the end of the Middle
Ages, differences of
clothes are by class and
country rather than time.

to engage in any active pursuit.

4. English dress was indebted to Spain for its shape, but the decoration and
exaggeration of certain features was unique to England.
Under Elizabeth’s influence men’s dress lost the assertive shape it had
acquired in her father’s reign and, is it gradually became more dandified.
Men’s dress at the time of Queen Elizabeth’s accession in 1558 was
generally restrained an dignified, epitomized by rich, dark colours set off
at neck and wrists by white frills, enlivened by gold embroidery…the
clothes followed the lines of the body fairly closely, and apart from the
shape of the trunk hose, with little exaggeration of any one feature.

5. Women not only used to be called the weaker
sex, but it was actually believed that they were
physically weaker.They were dressed for
warmth and protected from the weather. If our
ancestors could see the costumes worn by the
average girl of today they would be terrified by
their temerity.
Crawford, M.D.C. (1952), 19.
WOMEN OBSESSEDWITH EXTREMENESS

6. THE EARLYTO MID 20TH CENTURY
No period of fashion has
shown more rapid changes
of silhouette than the last
50 years, during which the
changes were deliberately
created by the fashion
industries seeking
seasonable markets for
their creations
Crawford, M. D. C. (1952), 24-25.
