    Welcome to the Fashion Costume Gallery Costume History Timeline click on thumbnails for larger images and information 1890 1900 1910 1950 1960 1970 1980 Wedding Ensemble c. 1898 This dress was donated to CSUS by Professor Emeritus, Jeline Ware. Her grandmother wore the ensemble for her wedding in 1898. In 1924 the dress was worn by her mother for her wedding, and then by her mother's youngest sister for her wedding in 1940. The dress was worn again by Jeline Ware's mother for her 25 th wedding anniversary in 1949. This two piece ensemble contains a fitted, fully boned, bodice with a long full skirt with train. The ensemble is made out of light weight wool with silk ribbon accents. Silk pleated ribbon decorates the hem of the skirt. It also decorates the bodice and sleeves in beautiful scroll patterns. The bust insert, which is made of chiffon, was added in 1949. The ensemble is finished off by a wide silk belt with a bow. This piece embodies many of the characteristics of clothing from the era. During the 1890s, two piece dresses with boned detail bodices were popular. During this period skirts were full, but lacked the bustles that had been so popular in the previous decade. In the latter years of the 1890s sleeves became narrow compared to the large puffed sleeves that had been popular during the first part of the decade. -Rachel Young Lace Undergarment c. 1903 Undergarments such as this white lace combination bodice and drawers were worn by women and girls under a corset throughout the late 1890's and into the early twentieth century.

    Chapter 1 1850-1890: The Dawn of Modern Clothing This Teacher’s Guide, compiled with the assistance of Stephanie Kramer, is designed to provide you with a summary of the key points in the development of fashion during the period/decade covered in this chapter. It also provides a concise survey of the significant designers of the time, essay and discussion questions, and further reading and research suggestions. Objective The main objective of this chapter is to study the development of fashion during the second half of the 19th century, particularly the establishment of those aspects of the fashion system that are still in place today. Fashion in this period reflected the latest developments in engineering, chemistry, and communication and witnessed development of the role of the “fashion designer.” Key Teaching Points The following teaching points have been arranged thematically and highlight the important topics that need to be covered in order to meet the main objective of the chapter. Social and Economic Background • Britain o reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901); stress on propriety and etiquette o rapid industrialization o expanding overseas empire • United States o impact of Civil War (1861-1865) on global trade o emergence as industrial power • France o reestablishment of court during Second Empire (begins 1852, ends with Franco-Prussian war 1870) o transformation of Paris into fashionable modern city • Japan o opens borders (1853-1854) o goods enter the Western market and impact Western tastes The Arts • Orientalism and Academic

Throughout history, clothing has provided adornment, modesty, protection, identification and status. It has also reflected the change of our geographical, social, political, economic and technological development. Clothing has also played important roles in different historical and cultural events. All these different aspects also in turn contribute to the design, styling, colour or silhouettes of clothing worn by people. Customs dictate what is deemed acceptable by a society, religions and laws play a role by determining what colours and styles are allowed. For instance, for ancient Roman, tyrian purple could only be worn by Roman senators. In China, only the Emperor could wear golden yellow. In Hawaii, only high-ranking Hawaiian chiefs could wear feather cloaks and palaoas or carved whale teeth.
