Votes:0 A Clothing How-To for Garments of the Byzantine Empire Men's: Men's costume in Byzantium didn't change too much over the centuries. It consisted of the tunica, the dalmatic, the cloak and shoes or boots. The shapes of the garments were consistent throughout the classes, only the quality of the fabric and trimming distinguished them. Tunica: The tunica was the basic article of clothing in Byzantium. For the lower classes, it was the everyday working garment. For the upper classes, it was the underlayment for some of the richest clothing in history. The tunica was a derivation of the ancient Roman tunica talaris, or tunic to the ankles. They were trim in the sleeve and mostly loose in the body. The more active wearer would gird it up to the shins or knees with a thin belt. The sleeve length Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Pilgrim Clothing The Plimoth Plantation Museum also has a web page discussing Pilgrim clothing , and it
includes a couple illustrated photographs. WOMEN: A woman's undergarment was a
long off-white short-sleeved, linen shirt, resembling a modern-day woman's
nightshirt except that it was ribbon-tied at the collar and cuffs and fastened
in the front. One or more ankle-length, waist-fastened petticoats were
worn. The dress, or gown, consisted of two parts, a bodice and a
skirt--sometimes the sleeves were a separate part as well, being tied to
the bodice. The bodice or the skirt could be the same or different
colors, and were made of wool. The bodice buttoned all the way down
the front. The skirt was ankle-length and gathered at the waist. A
long-sleeve fitted waistcoat was often worn over the Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 The transition from elegant Little Lord Fauntleroy suits, kilts, sailor suits, and dressy short pants to casual blue jeans and baggy trousers for boys is an interesting study in social history. The mod boy of today would hardly recognize his counterpart of 100 years ago who might have found himself outfitted in a delicate lace collar and fancy velvet knee pants, sailor suits, or kilts. Parents at the time dressed formally and insisted that their children also dress smartly to reflect well on themselves and to demonstrate their social status. Gradually styles changed in the mid 20th Century to more realistic short pants and knickers before the modern incarnation of sneakers, casual baggy jeans and sweatshirts.

This harness includes a barbute - a light helmet used by light cavalry. The breastplate is a simple export style made by Italian
armourers for sale to other countries - especially germany and England.
The arms include the reinforcing plates that cover the fronts of the pauldrons and the outside of the left elbow. All parts of this armour are hand made including hinges, buckles and roset-stamped washers. A mid-sixteenth century breastplate and tassets.

Elizabeth always reflected the social status of the wearer.
There would be no doubt in ones mind about picking out the nobility in any
given crowd. Clothing was a direct indication of wealth, much in the manner
of imported suits in the present. The cost of clothing was related to the
type of fabric and (in the days before synthetic dyes) the color. Purple
dye was extracted by crushing thousands of tiny sea snails; similarly, crimson dye was obtained by crushing a certain type of beetle. Processed
fabrics such as velvet or corduroy were costly, as were satins and other
fine weaves. Cotton, although Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Stitches in time: The design of fashion from 1900-1999 Tammy Swift The Forum - 08/15/1999 Fashion isn't just fashion. It's a reflection of our times, a barometer of society. To a lesser degree, fashion has also been art, big business, necessity, fantasy, masterpiece, nuisance. The only sure characteristic of fashion today is that it's for everyone. An extremely efficient ready-to-wear industry and media-saturated world make the newest looks almost instantly accessible. Even if one can't afford the $2,000 Donna Karan dress, one can probably buy a $29 knock-off weeks after it first hit the catwalk. It wasn't always this way. In the late 19th century, fashion was the domain of the wealthy and cosseted. Affluent women were the only ones who had the time and money to devote to the most stylish Read More Go to Site

By Dawn Vukson-Van Beek (Clare de Saint Denis) The essential articles of Byzantine dress are simple and easy to construct. The primary article of dress was called a tunica . The tunica served as the basic undergarment of both men and women, or the only garment for the working class and poor. The main over-garment worn both by men and women is called the dalmatica .

Votes:0 (Click on Pictures Above to go Directly to the Book.)
