  • Regulation 4316R Athletic Uniforms, Dress Code, and Student Athlete Modesty
    Regulation 4316R Athletic Uniforms, Dress Code, and Student Athlete Modesty Background From time-to-time concerns arise regarding the lack of modesty provided by some athletic and other extra-curricular uniforms. Since uniforms are usually designed for optimal performance, several do not comply with the school system’s Board policy for student dress during the instructional day (School Board Policy 4316 – Student Dress Codes). Singlet tops, jersey design, short length, skirt length, and swimsuit cuts seem to draw the most frequent concerns. A review of all uniforms indicates that volleyball, cheerleading, wrestling, track, cross country, tennis, and swimming have design features that could cause modesty concerns. Regulation The following language is adapted from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). NFHS regulations are used by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) to specify uniform requirements. Schools may not require modifications to uniforms that inhibit athletic performance. However, individual student athletes will be allowed to make the following modifications as long as the uniform meets all requirements set forth by the NCHSAA and NFHS. Uniform Tops o Tops may be worn with a single solid colored t-shirt or similar undergarment. o The color for any t-shirt or similar undergarment shall be solid and must be pre- approved by the school o The solid color shall be the predominant color of the uniform top. o T-shirts or similar undergarments shall match in color and design among student athletes on the same team. o All other NCHSAA and NFHS uniform top regulations shall apply. Uniform Bottoms o Uniform bottoms that are shorts or skirts may include a visible undergarment that is of mid-thigh or knee length.

It is not the amount of money that one spends so much as it is good judgment in the choice of styles, materials and trimmings. No matter how beautiful or appropriate a girl's outer garments may be, she is not well dressed unless she has used good judgment in making or selecting her under - wear.

  • A Study on the Characteristics of 20Th Century Womenfs Undergarments
    IJCC, Vol. 6, No. 2, 83 〜92(2003) 15 A Study on the Characteristics of 20th Century Womenfs Undergarments Seo-Hee Lee and Hyeon-Ju Kim* Assistant Professor, Dept, of Fashion and Beauty, Konyang University Instructor, Dept, of Clothing Science, Seoul Women's University* (Received June 23, 2003) Abstract This study aims to classify -women's undergarments of the 20th century by periods, and to examine their characteristics. The research method consists of a literature study based on relevant documentary records and a demonstrative analysis of graphic data collected from each reference. The features of women's under­ garments obtained from the study are as fallows: First, silhouette changes of outer garments appear to influence the type and style of a new undergarment. Second, technological development results in a new type of undergarments. Third, the development of new material appears to influence functions and design of undergarments. Fourth, social changes including the development of sports affects the changes of undergarments. As seen so far, the form or type, material, and color in undergarment diversify when fashion changes become varied and rapid. As shown before the 20th century, the importance of undergarment's type, farm, and function gradually reduces according to the changes of -women's mind due to their social participation, although it still plays a role in correcting the shape of an outer garment based on the outer silhouette. The design also clearly shows the extremes of maximization and minimization of decoration. Key words : undergarment, modern fashion, lingerie, infra apparel the beginning of the 20th century, corsets and I.

  • Jewish Costume - History and Influences
    Vojislava Radovanović JEWISH COSTUME - HISTORY AND INFLUENCES Along with dwellings, furniture, tools, arms and other appliances for everyday use, garments and ornaments are integral parts of the material cul- ture of a nation. Costume is an ethnic feature which is on one hand directly conditioned by the climate, and on the other hand, it is indirectly influenced by other forms of the existing cultural system. Besides its basic protective function, clothing has always been a status symbol through which religious views, as well as traditional and social relations have been reflected. Clothes have also been a reliable indicator of the community's attitude toward out- side influences and its aesthetic ideals. According to archeological findings, preserved engravings and Biblical testimonies, Jewish garments of the Talmudic times were of simple shapes and did not differ from those worn by the neighboring nations living in the countries within the same climatic zone.1 The basic garments were known as: the simlah or salmah, the ezor and the kethoneth. The simlah was actually a long piece of cloth, usually of rectangular shape. It was a simple cover which was draped over or wrapped around a person's body. Worn in such a way, the simlah resembled the Roman pallium. It also served as a blanket, while the Israelites used it as a food carry-on bag. The simlah was worn by most Middle Eastern nations due to its simplicity and variety of applications. The ezor was the simplest form of woven gar- ment, while the kethoneth was of a better defined shape, usually made in the form of a Roman tunic with long or short sleeves.
