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?
