  • Turkish Women Traditional Underwear Clothes: Examples of Konya
    International Journal of Cultural and Social Studies (IntJCSS) June 2017 : 3(1) ISSN : 2458-9381 Doi : Field : Fashion Design Type : Research Article Recieved: 14.03.2017 – Accepted: 27.04.2017 Turkish Women Traditional Underwear Clothes: Examples of Konya Emine KARPUZ, Hatice HARMANKAYA Selcuk University, Art and Design Faculty, Konya, TURKEY Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Traditional clothes are the concrete indications of the values of their periods. Traditional clothing bears variations in terms of their locations, usage goal and diversity. While in museums and collectors the traditional outer clothing takes too much place, to reach underwear clothes is harder. The aim of this research is to examine the underwear clothing products among conventional female clothing types of Konya. In the research the descriptive method was used. The subject matter of the study is the female under wear clothes of Konya, and the sample of it is 11 clothes pertaining to a special collection among these clothes. In the formation of the sample, the easily accessible state sampling method was used. The data of the research were got through the structured observation form. The underwear clothing examples included in the research were analyzed in terms of material, cut, sewing and ornamentation properties. The technical drawings of the measured clothes were made. It is considered that to research and bring to light the cultural heritage items taking place in special collections bear importance.

  • Close to the Skin: a Revealing Look at Lingerie
    Close to the Skin: A Revealing look at Lingerie Wedding gown House of Worth, France ca. 1878 Silk faille; silk embroidery; glass pearls; lace #67.446 Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895) is considered the founder of haute couture. This early Worth creation illustrates his patronage by wealthy Americans, who had to travel to Paris to purchase their custom made dresses. Sarah Noyes Tibbets wore this dress when she married John Wool Griswold on January 15, 1878. Petticoat ca. 1878 Cotton #67.446c This petticoat was probably coordinated to go with the elaborate wedding gown by Charles Frederick Worth, made for Sarah Noyes Tibbett. The fineness of the cotton petticoat matches that of the gown.
