    How Did Families Make Their Clothes Before The Industrial Revolution

    Before the Industrial Revolution, most families made their clothes themselves. Clothes had a special meaning to these people as told in Passage 2, "part of this practice took on a religious significance and was conducted in sacred spaces. Fabric itself could be very meaningful." The fabric was difficult to make, and as a result, was very expensive. Since the fabric was expensive, most cultures had a robe that was common among people, since robes wasted less fabric. There was no such thing as a zipper or even a button, so clothes were harder to get on and keep on. Clothes were not replaceable, they got handed down to each person in a family and merely got mended, to help save the money they didn't have.…

    Describe The Fashion Trends In The 1840's

    The 1840’s undergarments were started off by a chemise and drawers to help provide a barrier. Then a corset was laced on, corsets were also known as stays. After the corset a corset cover would be added this added a layer of protection for the clothes. Next petticoats were added, a proper lady would have a minimum of six petticoats. This would prove to be very hot during the summer as the petticoats were made of horse hair and were very thick. The petticoats are what gave the dress shape. In the 1880’s they first put on what is known as a combination, combinations are a combination of a chemise and drawers. This protected the women from the clothes and vice versa. After this they would have a corset. On top of the corset there would be a corset cover. Also on this layer there would be a petticoat, instead of having a minimum of six petticoats the 1880’s would have one or at most two. Then there would be a steel framed bustle, this is what gave the dress the large…

    How Did Shakespeare Use Clothing In The Elizabethan Era

    The innermost layer of an outfit was the hose. A hose is broken into two parts: upper and nether. The upper part were just breeches. The most popular style was the ‘trunk’ hose; short full breeches ending half way down the thigh (Elizabethan Men and Their Dress). To emphasize their waists even more, men wore girdles. Some men stored their money or purses inside of the girdles. Young men wore a cloak instead of wearing a gown like older men. Over shirts men wore doublets; a fitted jacket with buttons down the front. Sleeves were either sewn in or detachable to be able to change with the mood.Mens clothing was simple compared to what the women had to…

The dresses had two parts; the bodice and the skirt. Women in the 17th century did not wear pants. All clothing was homemade, and made by the women. Most women only owned about 2-4 outfits. The clothing was all hand-sewn and made of either wool or linen. Women’s clothing had to cover the woman's knees and elbows. Because of the belief that bathing was dangerous, clothing wasn’t washed. Often clothes such as a gown, might never be washed! Most colonists from New England wore simple attire except for the rich. Rich wore fancy clothing and anyone that wasn’t rich and dressed in fancy clothes would be fined and put in jail. Even simple decorations like buttons were considered to fancy and instead Pilgrims and Puritans used strings. Women and girls wore aprons and it was considered inappropriate for a woman or girl to wear anything…
