Figleafing Through History: The Dynamics of Dress
5.Comments:
1. First there was a comparison of the english old dress and the french dress. That the english dresses were more simplified and in a gentle way they can attract people while the french dresses were more expossing.
2.There are many words that you can use for dresses. And the have a specific name. I think that's really cool how people came to develope different ideas for gowns and dresses.
3. When and english suit became known to the rest of the world. The strongest cultures start to think of what they dress EX: Japan: kimono, China: Robe, India: Dhoit, turban was losing what they were trying to represent.
4. Then next were comparison and different reasoning on the kimona and chinese dragon robes but because both are made of silk and sewed with detail pictures. They start to recongize that both is different depending on the situation. Like the samuri's kimona and the orginal women's kimono.
5. The last few pages were back to the modern world. Where everything from ages ago coem back and help us to a better path to the clothing /fashion world. There is the closing and they are just presenting the idea how history of dresses and clothes can have a big impact on today with technology of the sewing machine.
4.Questions:
1. Why weren't some other countries mentioned?
2. Until now, do people still trade and creat their cultural clothing styles from years/centuries ago?
3. How do people like designers feel when they look back on the track that lead to today fashion?
4. Do people now still use methods to create some clothings that people back then use?
3.VOcabulary:
1. Psychedelic: of or noting a mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of either euphoria or despair.
2.Farthingale:a hoop skirt or framework for expanding a woman's skirt, worn in the 16th and 17th centuries.
3.Gradation: any process or change taking place through a series of stages, by degrees, or in a gradual manner.
2 Literary Terms:

FIGLEAFING THROUGH HISTORY: The Dynamics of Dress.
5. Comments:
1. I also realized that the ruffs on the Europeans styles back during around 1500-1800s where, there would be big ruffs around the necks. They said the ruffs seems to evolved into different mulitple sytles in Europe.
2. There were some information on Spain and Christopher Columbus, and while that happens during the Renaisance perferd cloth was velvet, ruffs and weave. That distanced the East and West for decreasing trade matters related to silk.
3. The next few pages were soem diagrams of Europeans styles and the ruffs tranforming.
4. Around the 18th century, China was still influncial to the world except they weren't like they use to when trading with silk or any other goods because they were conquered by the mongols which made them very humililated.
5. Queen Elizabeth also made a difference in the ruffles. In the Elizabethan period, she decides to cute the ruffs from all around her head to only the back of her head. Then lowered the neck line to expose her breast almost bare. ANd puffs around the arms lines and a bolster to support her hips to make the skirt squarish. Also with adding of the wired laced wings behide the ruffs. Then from there children and women were trangressing their dressing forms.
4.Questions:
1. When was China conqured by the mongol? And are the mongols from Mongolia?
2. Why did Elizabeth change the whole "dress code" was it just because she wanted to or she ahd a reason?
3. Why id China being mention so many times in different cases? Is it because they trade and export many goods? There should be more different countries to be involved.
4. Why did europeans have such a similar clothings style?
3. Vobulary:
1.Opulence:

2.Heraldic:
of, pertaining to, or characteristic of heralds or heraldry: heraldic form; heraldic images; heraldic history; a heraldic device.
3.Hierachical:
of, belonging to, or characteristic of a hierarchy.
2.Literary Terms:

2.none
1.Overview:
The overview is about varies of countries once again. There were some pictures that give some explantation on the ruffs popularity in Spain. Then the Spain and chinese trading route. How they seperated themselves after the spainish and europeans perferable clothes of weave, velvet and ruffles instead of silk.
