  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

  • A Study on the Design and Composition of Victorian Women's Mantle
    Journal of Fashion Business Vol. 14, No. 6, pp.188~203(2010) A Study on the Design and Composition of Victorian Women’s Mantle * Lee Sangrye ‧ Kim Hyejeong Professor, Dept. of Fashion Design, TongMyong University * Associate Professor, Dept. of Clothing Industry, Hankyong National University Abstract This study purposed to identify the design and composition characteristics of mantle through a historical review of its change and development focusing on women’s dress. This analysis was particularly focused on the Victorian age because the variety of mantle designs introduced and popularized was wider than ever since ancient times to the present. For this study, we collected historical literature on mantle from ancient times to the 19 th century and made comparative analysis of design and composition, and for the Victorian age we investigated also actual items from the period. During the early Victorian age when the crinoline style was popular, mantle was of A‐ line silhouette spreading downward from the shoulders and of around knee length. In the mid Victorian age from 1870 to 1889 when the bustle style was popular, the style of mantle was changed to be three‐ dimensional, exaggerating the rear side of the bustle skirt. In addition, with increase in women’s suburban activities, walking costume became popular and mantle reached its climax. With the diversification of design and composition in this period, the name of mantle became more specific and as a result, mantle, mantelet, dolman, paletot, etc. were used. The styles popular were: it looked like half-jacket and half-cape. Ornaments such as tassels, fur, braids, rosettes, tufts and fringe were attached to create luxurious effects.

  • Clothing in Ancient Greece Edited
    Clothing in ancient Greece Clothing in ancient Greece and Rome was generally created out of large, single pieces of fabric. Several different pieces of clothing could be worn in various combinations to create multiple outfits. The fabric was also draped, belted and pinned into various styles. In art, it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate the various garments worn as they all seem to be billowy drapes of fabric. In Greece, women usually wore one of two garments on a regular basis. One was the peplos, a style of dress made from a single piece of fabric that is folded over at the top, wrapped around the body and pinned up at the shoulders. Folding down the top created a second layer of fabric that ran down the back and the front of the garment, which was referred to as an apoptygma. The other piece of clothing was worn by both men and women, and was called a chiton. The chiton was very similar to the peplos, except without the apoptygma. This was created by a single piece of fabric wrapped around the body and pinned up on the shoulders, or by two pieces of fabric sewn up both sides with space left for armholes. The men wore a shorter version of the chiton. This, too, could be belted or left as-is. The pins that were often used to hold up these garments worked very similarly to safety pins or brooches, and were called fibulae. The other important piece of clothing for both men and women was called the himation.

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.

  • General Ancient Greek Clothing Was Created by Draping One Or More Large Rectangles of Cloth Around the Body
    Ancient Greek and Roman Clothing Information Sheet Greek Clothing: General Ancient Greek clothing was created by draping one or more large rectangles of cloth around the body. The cloth was woven by the women of the household, and the materials most often used were wool and linen. There were no set sizes to a piece of apparel. How the rectangles were draped, belted, and pinned determined how they fit the contours of the body and how they were named. When seen on statues or in painted pottery, the clothing often appears to be white or a single color. In actuality, the textiles used for clothing were often dyed in bright colors such as red, yel- low, green or violet. Decorative motifs on the dyed cloths were often either geometric patterns or patterns from nature, like leaves. Wide-brimmed hats were worn by men in bad weather or while traveling in the hot sun. When not letting their long hair fall in trailing curls on their backs or shoulders,Greek women put their hair up in scarves or ribbons. Depictions of men in paintings and statues also show them with filets (cloth headbands) around their heads. Though Greeks often went barefoot around the house, a variety of shoe styles were available, from sandals to boots. The sandals worn by the statue of Artemis shown in full view on the next page.

  • 14Th Century English Sumptuary Laws THL Sarai Tindall [email protected]
    14th century English Sumptuary Laws THL Sarai Tindall [email protected] http://clothingthepast.wordpress.com The stated reason for enactment of the 1363 English sumptuary law is because of “the Outragious and Excessive Apparel of divers People, against their Estate and Degree, to the great Destruction and Impoverishment of all the Land.” 1 The king, or his councilors and parliament, felt that people were spending too much on their clothing. The law lays out what fabrics, furs, and accessories people of each specific social group of the middle classes could purchase and wear for clothing. It is notable that this law does not mention anyone of the upper nobility or those of the lowest classes. The 1363 law seems to be mostly concerned with the creating of “an absolute social standing,” in which wealth, occupation, and rank are all combined to create one’s social standing. 2 The law breaks down the social classes based on a combination of rank and occupation. Knights were the highest social class, by rank, and Merchants were the highest by occupation, but still below knights. Some of the social classes, Knights, Esquires, and Merchants are further divided by their wealth, with some being afforded more expensive cloth for their clothing based on wealth. In this way money is used to allow a more privileged style of dress to those within a social class, but without overlapping into the lowest income of the social class above them. This would help to create a visual separation between classes, and a marketability of status through the use of income as a factor in determining final social status.3 However, even attempts at using multiple factors for determining a final social status were not always accurate since any one of those factors could change, as suggested by Sponsler.4 The factors should only be used to determine social status at a particular point in time, since anyone could easily gain or lose money very quickly thus altering their social status.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 - 1 - ABSTRACT The thesis discusses the role of the mujtahids of Tehran in the Constitutional Revolution, considering their contribution both in ideas and organisation. The thesis is divided into eight chapters, the first of which deals with the relationship between the Lulama and the state, and the problem of accommodation with a ruler who was illegitimate according to Twelver Shi'ite law. The second chapter discusses the economic and social position of the Lulama, concentrating on their financial resources, their legal duties, and their relationships with other groups, and attempting to show the ways in which they were subject to pressure. In the third chapter, the role of the ^ulama, and particularly the mujtahids, in the coming of the Revolution is examined, especially their response to the centralisation of government, and the financial crisis at the turn of the century.
