  • 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.

  • Women in Pants: a Study of Female College Students Adoption Of
    WOMEN IN PANTS: A STUDY OF FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS ADOPTION OF BIFURCATED GARMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FROM 1960 TO 1974 by CANDICE NICHOLE LURKER SAULS Under the direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst ABSTRACT This research presented new information regarding the adoption of bifurcated garments by female students at the University of Georgia from1960 to 1974. The primary objectives were to examine photographs of female students at the University of Georgia in The Pandora yearbooks as well as to review written references alluding to university female dress codes as well as regulations and guidelines. The photographs revealed that prior to 1968 women at UGA wore bifurcated garments for private activities taking place in dorms or at sorority houses away from UGA property. The study also showed an increase in frequency from 1968 to 1974 due to the abolishment of the dress code regulations. In reference to the specific bifurcated garments worn by female students, the findings indicated the dominance of long pants. This study offers a sample of the changes in women’s dress during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, which then showed more specifically how college women dressed in their daily lives across America.

  • Here/There, Now/Then, Both/And Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’S Old New York
    7 Here/There, Now/Then, Both/And Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Old New York June Howard It may seem strange to turn to Edith Wharton’s Old New York for insight into the international and cosmopolitan dimensions of her work. Indeed, this relatively little read volume sits slightlyCOPY askew in any easily available cat- egory. It is not a novel but a complexly connected group of four “novellas.” It could be called local color because, as the title proclaims, it portrays a very particular place. But it hasn’t been, as it is located in the metropolis, and that term is usually reserved for tales set in rural New England landscapes like Ethan Frome and Summer. It is focused on the nineteenth century, with the subtitle of each tale specifying a decade in sequence from the 1840s to the 1870s; yet its publication in 1924 makes it a relatively late work, and its per- spective is clearly modern. This essay argues for unsettling literary-historical categories, reading through the lens of regionalism to help us to recognize the volume as a sophisticated rendering of the paradoxical place of cosmo- UPFpolitanism in American cultural history and the recursive relation of those fundamental categories: time and place. Each of these four stories can stand alone, and they have an interesting history of separate publication. They are also linked by common themes and techniques and are far more resonant Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Wharton’s Old New York · 167 when read—as Wharton intended them to be—together.1 Each is firmly set in New York City and frequently invokes European, usually Italian, as- sociations and travel.
