  • The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles
    The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles – c. 1790-1900 1790-1809 – Neoclassicism In the late 18th century, the latest fashions were influenced by the Rococo and Neo-classical tastes of the French royal courts. Elaborate striped silk gowns gave way to plain white ones made from printed cotton, calico or muslin. The dresses were typically high-waisted (empire line) narrow tubular shifts, unboned and unfitted, but their minimalist style and tight silhouette would have made them extremely unforgiving! Underneath these dresses, the wearer would have worn a cotton shift, under-slip and half-stays (similar to a corset) stiffened with strips of whalebone to support the bust, but it would have been impossible for them to have worn the multiple layers of foundation garments that they had done previously. (Left) Fashion plate showing the neoclassical style of dresses popular in the late 18th century (Right) a similar style ball- gown in the museum’s collections, reputedly worn at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball (1815) There was public outcry about these “naked fashions,” but by modern standards, the quantity of underclothes worn was far from alarming. What was so shocking to the Regency sense of prudery was the novelty of a dress made of such transparent material as to allow a “liberal revelation of the human shape” compared to what had gone before, when the aim had been to conceal the figure. Women adopted split-leg drawers, which had previously been the preserve of men, and subsequently pantalettes (pantaloons), where the lower section of the leg was intended to be seen, which was deemed even more shocking! On a practical note, wearing a short sleeved thin muslin shift dress in the cold British climate would have been far from ideal, which gave way to a growing trend for wearing stoles, capes and pelisses to provide additional warmth.

However, these sumptuary laws, as they were known,3 were generally a failure, for many reasons. Those who wished to ignore them often could do so with impunity.4 The frequency of such legislation is a sign both of the perceived importance of The author would like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Bruce Christianson and Ms Susan North in the preparation of this paper.

    DRESS LIKE A PILGRIM A Procurement Guide SEPTEMBER 29, 2018 THE MAYFLOWER GUARD General Society of Mayflower Descendants Dress Like a Pilgrim A Procurement Guide By Mayflower Guard As James Baker, noted Pilgrim historian, points out in his recent article in the Mayflower Journal 1 there is a major image problem associated with what clothing and apparel Pilgrims wore. The image of black clothing, buckles and blunderbusses persist in the public mind. To overcome this misperception and to assist in this effort to change public perceptions, the donning of appropriate garments representing what the Pilgrims actually wore should be a major objective for the commemoration of the 1 Baker, James W., Pilgrim Images III, Mayflower Journal Vol. 2, No. 1 [2017], pp 7-19 1 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower. We the Mayflower descendants need to Dress Like a Pilgrim and wear Pilgrim Appropriate Apparel (PAA). So, what did Pilgrim men and women wear? Fabrics In 17th Century England and in the Netherlands, there were two basic fabrics that were used for clothing, wool and linen. There was combination of wool and linen know has fustian corduroy that was also used, however finding this fabric today is almost impossible. Cotton while available was very rare and very expensive in the early 17th century. Colors We know that the Pilgrims wore a variety of colors in their clothing from probate records where the color of various clothing items were mentioned including the colors violet, blue, green.1,2 The color red was also listed. However, the reds that were used in the early 17th century were more of a brick red and a matter red which is a little more orange in nature than modern reds.

    What the Tudor Men Really Wore Copyright 2006, 2010 Kimiko Small, known in the Society as Joan Silvertoppe. All Rights Reserved. www.kimiko1.com Research and hand drawn sketches created by Kimiko Small, March-April 2006, except where noted. This was originally developed for Margo Anderson's Historical Costume Patterns, and has been modified and updated for use in the Collegium Caidis class on April 10, 2010. Shirts The Low-Necked Shirt The low-necked shirt sketch is based on early Tudor men’s shirts seen in various images. Its style is fading by the early 1530s, although it can be seen here and there. The body is finely pleated into the neckline that would be held by embroidery. For more info on creating this type of shirt, please go to the following yahoogroup: Pleatwork Embroidery ( Smocking) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pleatwork/ The High-Necked Shirt This shirt is based on an image of Henry VIII in 1536. As can be seen in the detail image of Henry, the shoulder line at the left shows a short shoulder area (about half the shoulder length) with a V where the sleeves are attached. The collar area is most likely finely pleated with decorative stitching to hold the pleats in place ( Posavad, 18), but a collar would be easier for most people to create. The small frill or ruffle, from which the later ruff is derived, tops the shirt collar. This ruffle is optional, as some images do not show a ruffle. The collar is open at center front and is usually closed with 2 shirt strings.

  • Jacobean Costume
    ROOM 5 & The Long Gallery Jacobean Costume The constricting and exaggerated fashions of the Elizabethan era continued into the early part of the seventeenth century. Women still wore tightly boned bodices with elongated ‘stomachers’ (an inverted triangle of stiffened material worn down over the stomach) and enormous skirts that encased the lower part of their bodies like cages. However, by 1620 the excessive padding around the hips of both sexes had disappeared, and fashion began to slim down and adopt a longer, more elegant line. The doublet became more triangular in shape and the huge cartwheel ruff gave way to a falling collar, edged with lace. The Long Gallery From the 1580s the Spanish farthingale, or portrait of James Hay, 1st Earl of Carlisle, hooped petticoat, was superseded by the who wears an elegant black and gold costume, French farthingale, a wheel-like structure that heavily embroidered with gold and silver held the skirt out like a drum. It can be seen thread, with a standing linen collar of cutwork to great effect in the portrait of Lucy Russell, and matching cuffs. Countess of Bedford. This was a style of dress expected at the court as Anne of Denmark, King James’ Queen, admired its formality.
