What i learned so far about the topic is the fashion of the germans style and how it's worn. I also learned about the scandinavian style and how both women wore decorative aprons to represent their job.
I also learned about the bodice and how it is form. I also learned that the pagoda sleeves and how they were formed and how they fit the arm of the person. I noticed that there were a lot of ribbons on the dresses or clothing of a women.

The costume(s) that inspires me the most were the German & Scandinavian styles of 1660. The puffed sleeves emit an extravagant, lively feel to the outfit. The Palatine or Capelet on the Scandinavian costume emulate a modern-shawl. The decorative aprons indicate that the women were most likely housewives.

The European costume that inspired me the most is the one on the right, because it presents new ideas for me and new ways to modernize clothing. Some of the clothing of morden day western clothes may involve ribbons. Most clothes today are more fitting and may be shorter than earlier costumes.

My favorite is 1720, It’s my favorite, because the dress and jacket that the Man and Maiden is very bright and to me gives off a spring time look.

I learn that in the the 18th century Pagoda sleeves arose about halfway, which were tight from shoulder to elbow and ended with flared lace and ribbons. I also learned that the robe à la française also had a tight bodice with a low-cut square neckline, usually with large ribbon bows down the front, wide panniers, and was lavishly trimmed with all manner of lace, ribbon, and flowers. I notice that back in the days they used to wear a lot of ribbons.

The 17th century inspired me the most because the way the middle class people dressed for instance they wore aprons and they hung there handbag on there elbows where in the 21st century we don't wear aprons and hang our bags and purses on the shoulder .

The european costume that inspired me the most was the cadogan style of men’s hair. This inspired me because men, now a days, don't usually wear wigs.In the 18 century the taller your wig was the more important you seemed to be.

The costume that inspires me the most is the palatine because I think it’s a nice looking piece of fabric and it reminds me of a shawl. A shawl is worn in modern day and is very similar to the palatine. It is worn over the shoulders.

The costume that inspires me the most is the 1720 period. I love the accent of lace on a collar with floral print on the dress. It inspires me to create delicate but simple things in a way that makes it look extravagant especially with different types of sleeves.The man's long coat that buttons in the middle remind me of the coats today that flare out at the waist. The lace color reminds me of the many types of collars made with many materials today.
-Alondra A
The most piece of clothing that inspires me is the stomacher. I chose this article of clothing because it is tighter on the woman's waist and then the skirt of the dress flares out. “The woman wears a high frontage headdress and the stiff stomacher.” The definition of a stomacher is a V-shaped piece of decorative cloth, worn over the chest and stomach. This relates to what we wear in this era. we usually wear these, however they are called corsets and we usually wear them to weddings as a bride. People in the 1690’s wore them as a casual wear while we wear it mostly on special occasions such as weddings.
-Sharoya B.
The "housewife" inspires me the most because its like a purse and its different knowing how back in those days purses were called “housewives”. The housewives hold stuff but is differently shaped than how it is in modern day clothing. “Both women wear decorative aprons and a “housewife” hanging from their waists.”
WHILE READING "HISTORY OF COSTUME" I LEARNED THAT BEFORE A PURSE WAS CALLED A HOUSEWIFE.ITS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAS ANYTHING YOU NEED.LIKE A HOUSEWIFE THEY DO ANYTHING U NEED.I ALSO LEARNED THAT APRONS WERE USED WITH A DRESS AS A TREND AND THAT UPPER CLASS PEOPLE WOULD NEVER WEAR ONE UNLIKE THE MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASSES.THIS IS RELATED TO AN APRON NOW YET IT ISN'T USED AS SOMETHING TRENDY. COOKS AND HOUSEWIVES WEAR IT TO COOK AND ISN'T REALLY MUCH AS IMPORTANT.ALSO UNLIKE BEFORE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WEARS IT OR THEIR CLASS BECAUSE ANY TYPE OF PERSON CAN COOK AND ITS JUST SOMETHING COMMON BECAUSE ITS CONSIDERED "SUPPLIES" TO COOK.
i learned that from 1690-1730 the women wore the stomacher but different versions 0f it. At first it was more pronounced but later on it started blending in with the clothing so it was not as visible.I thought a stomacher was unnecessary because a woman is beautiful even though she doesn't have an hourglass figure but it actually looks very pretty as time goes on and the material its made out of changes.
The European piece of clothing/accessory that inspired me the most was the “housewife “. A housewife is a handbag , which women in the 1660 would wear around their waist. This inspires me because at first I was wondering what a housewife was then to came to see that it was a handbag or preferably a purse , which is what we call it now in modern times. The clothing worn in the 16th and 17th centuries is different from today because now girls/ladies wear pants more than dresses, Dresses are worn mainly for special occasions now such as weddings, proms , graduations etc. The costume from the 16th and 17th centuries I like the most is from plate 2.
The costume(s) that inspired me the most was the 18th century european costumes. Specially the pagoda sleeves, which were tight from the shoulder to elbow and ended with flared lace and decorative ribbons. after reading “the history costume european fashion through ages”, i noticed that back then women dressed with fancy and decorative dresses, compare to now day s women wear tight jeans, and open blouses/shirts .

The european costume that inspires me the most in the German 1660 fashion women often wore. This inspires me because women wore aprons as an addition to their dresses. I find this as a bold choice to do in either century, whether 1660 or 2013. In modern day aprons are only used in the kitchen. Women also wore an accessory called a housewife that we now refer to as a handbag. According to the article, “...women wear decorative aprons and a “housewife” hanging from their waists”. The hooped skirt is still existent however only used in elegant dresses.
Kassandra H.
The pieces of clothing that inspire me the most is the bodice of the woman. Back in the 17th century woman would style it with ribbons on the front, in modern day you would usually see ribbons being tied in the back for a flirty look. Both eras use ribbons to style the bodice on woman.
-YeimyA.
What I learned from reading and viewing the European costume is, how the style was worn during that time period. The dresses are made with a lot of floral patterns and the use of ribben and bow. The style now in modern day has change a lot. The style now a days would be plain colors and laid back things people would normally wear for work or such. Dresses have changed during the time that has passed. It's no longer puffed or very detailed either with floral print.
-Frances N.
In the 18th century panniers or wide hoops were created to be worn under a dress to widen it. Panniers were usually worn for special occasions , but smaller ones were worn on an everyday basis. Today in modern day a lot of teenagers for prom wear strapless dresses that have panniers connected to it, although today panniers are plastic or sometimes include of an irritating fabric called tulle. Unlike the 18th century panniers are worn only for prom or special occasions not on an everyday basis.

what i learned from this article is that many of the styles back then were very different from the styles now but many of the clothing made today was based on clothing from back then. for example my favorite garment was a stomacher because the stomacher gave a girl a body figure so that when the dress was put on it would have an hourglass figure they were made of wood and metal and were very hard to wear because of the material it was made out of. today’s modern impression of a stomacher would be a corset it is now more wearable for women. it is made out of plastic, silk, lace and many more
The “fontage” inspires me the most because they were used in the 1690’s by women. It is different than modern day because now girls don't tie their hair up as often or wear big things on their head. Some things girls wear now a days are bows and headbands a similarity would be that some girls now make buns on their head. “Her decorative apron, headdress, and sleeves are all lavishly trimmed with lace” meaning it was something worn as a daily life thing and now girls try to change it up everyday to look different.
what stood out to me the most was in the 1660s when woman dressed in
the Scandinavian style, with a brocade palatine or capelet over her shoulders and a white cap, and in the 1770s when women wore a solid colored gown with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice. A quilted underskirt is worn underneath. They also had sleeves flared at the elbow and wore their hair powdered and curled.-adelis solano pd6
After reading the History of Costume European Fashion Through the Ages by Abigail Westover the costume that most inspired me was the the accessories women carried with them , they were called “Housewifes”. Housewifes can be related to modern day fashion because they look similar to purses or pocketbooks. Purses and Housewifes are similar because they were bags women wore on them and carried with them wherever they went. The difference is women now usually carry purses on their shoulders , women back then had them attached or hanging from their waists.

one thing that was use back then that is every poular now is high waisted bottoms. in the 1650 they used high waist skirts and today many people used high waisted jeans and skirts. i believe that high waist was inspired by the high waist skirt fashion that trended in europe in the 1650.
As i read i learned in the 1660 The woman wore German fashion with puffed sleeves, a small hooped skirt, and a fur hat. They dressed in the Scandinavian style, with a brocade palatine or capelet over her shoulders and a white cap. women wore decorative aprons and a “housewife” hanging from their waists most of the time.This inspires me the most because the men looked clean and groomed. The clothing were nice and fitted. One similiar way i can compare back then from now is the coats. Our coats are more modern. - Julian p.
Renaissance beret inspires me the most. To me it represents individuality.The color of the beret can be different and so can the feather color. The designs on the beret can also be different which represents individuality to me.
-Breeannah C.
The European costume that stands out to me the most is plate 5. In plate five, the females dress had a stomacher, along with a long puffy skirt. Now, stomachers are still used but instead of long puffy skirts and sleeves, there is more skin being shown. Now it is shorter skirts and usually strapless.
The costume from the year 1770 inspired me the most because it has many details and a bodice that we still use today in modern times. In the article it said ”The woman wears a solid colored gown with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice. A quilted underskirt is worn underneath. She also has sleeves flared at the elbow.” This shows that the women has many details in her dress that we still use today in modern times.
The details of the sleeves, necks, hair, and skirt are described in more detail. For instance, they describe the sleeves as being “large cuffed” in the 1750 style, and in the 1770 style they describe the sleeves of the dress as “ flared at the elbow”. They also indicate that the hair is “powdered and curled” according to the style of the period.

The costume that inspired me the most was the panniers and the wide hoops worn under womens skirt during the 18th century. It inspired me because I loved the way it looked. It quite of looked like a casual dress but similar. also they had certain type of necklines and skirts were usually open at the front. I kind of like my skirts like that. During the modern day in the 18th century they used flared lace and ribbons. The types of dresses that they wore during the time period was called the watteau gown.
Westover, Abigail. "History of Costume." History of Costume. Wordpress.com, 17 Oct. 2011. Web. 15 Dec. 2013.
The type of gowns women would wear are described in details. For Instance women wore a gown with large cuffed sleeves. Also woman wore solid colored gowns with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice.
The information and idea is that “The woman on the left wears a hooded capuchin cape trimmed with fur and ribbons.” In 1750 women wear hoods or hats with ribbons on them. And also they wear long cuffed sleeves. In 1770 mens wear “a brocade silk vest under a long coat lined with silk with large buttonholes down the side, as well as a tricorn hat and buckled shoes. His hair is also powdered and is tied back with a ribbon”. in this time period they wear a lot ribbons.i think these clothes were for higher class people. Naisha Delgado
The costume that stood out the most to me was the 1690 time period. The guys wore Rhinegrave breeches under a long button down coat with large boots and a jabot which is a ruffle on a shirt or blouse. The women wore stomacher dresses, and long puffy skirts.The difference between that time period and now is that, woman show more skin today, and guys barely wear jabots. Woman wear jabots the most now, then guys do.
The article talks about the different types of silhouettes and how they feel. It also talks about how the garments look and the era it was worn in. I learned about the cuffed sleeves and the hooded capuchin. The one that stood out to me the most was the 1750 look! I loved it.
-Joevianna S.
This is what the women in the higher class wore back then which was called a Watteau” or “flying” style ,and it was worn back hung loose from the bodice. The royalty and aristocratic women wore the ridiculously wide panniers. A aristocratic is a member of a royaling class of the nobility .

Information and ideas that are described in detail are different sillhouettes and clothing worn in 1750 and 1770. In 1750 women wore hooded capes and large cuffed sleeves. In 1770 women wore gowns with embroidery, quilted underskirts and flared sleeves. Men wore silk vests, long coats, tricorn hats and buckled shoes. Men also had their hair powdered and tied back with their outfits.
Erica J.
Some things that are described specifically is that the women wear solid colored gowns and there is an opening to the overskirt and bodice and the underskirt is usually quilted. Her sleeves are flared out at the elbows. Her hair would also be powered with flour and curled. The man wears a long silk vest under a long coat that also has silk with large buttons. His hair is tied with a ribbon.
-Sharoya B.
the information and ideas described are the different silhouettes and texture of the clothing back then they also speak about women and men having their hair powdered as well as their big sleeves and bows worn back than.
-mariaG.
They were describing female and male clothing in the 1750 to 1770 era fashion that was worn. Such as a “Quilted underskirt is worn underneath. ……She wears her hair powdered white and curled hair.” The Author is very descriptive about the clothing on the 1750 to 1770 era.
Nga C
Details of gowns and jackets worn in the 1750’s-1770’s are stated in the article. For example hats worn called capuchin,silked vest, details on coat, and hair being powered is described. The article states “She also has sleeves flared at the elbow and wears her hair powdered and curled,common during the last part of the Rococo era” which explains how the sleeves were detailed.
Jozelyn S.
What I've learned about the German style of 1660 is that it was similar to the Scandinavian style.I also noticed that the woman are wearing an apron and a housewife hung around their waist sort of like what a purse is today.
- Tejada L.
The costume that inspired me the most was the 1690 costume because of the lace trimmed sleeves of the women’s dressed. Also, because of her high ‘fontage’ headdress. The contrast of the women’s torso and the skirt of the dress is very appealing because of the definition of the waist.
- Norma B.
The information described in the article talks about the different kind of silhouettes. Also the different type of material used. The article was descriptive. In the article it states “The woman wears a solid colored gown with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice.”
- Shanae S.

-Jada Smith

- Leah C.
the costume that most inspired was in the 1690 it was a very detail setting in place . from woman wearing clothing that were uncountable equipment to show women figure to a man wearing a bow as included to were as accessories as they were different then to now it was one of the most unique development at that time
alicia.b
As I read about the topic, I learned that long time ago they had different types of styles and print on their clothing. Also i get to learn the different names for the garments that they wear like purses are called “Housewifes”.
What I learned from this article is the many different styles worn throughout the European ages. The costume that caught my eye the most was what the men wore during the Baroque era. Their costumes inspires me the most because it shows the difference of what men wore in that era to what males wear in today's age. During the Baroque era, men generally wore different variations of the habit à la française: a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. Their hairstyles were also eye catching, they had horizontal rolls of hair over the ears, and were often referred to as ”Macaronis". The males' clothing worn in the Baroque era are extremely different from what is worn in this century.

In 1750, The woman on the left wore a hooded “capuchin” cape trimmed with fur and ribbons.It looked very warm and stylist. The woman on the right wore a gown with large cuffed sleeves and a “fichu” around the neck and shoulders. Also very warm fitting and stylish. She also wore a “mobcap” tied under the chin with a ribbon. In 1770, The women wore a solid colored gown with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice. I learned that they were into very small details like embroidery. She also has sleeves flared at the elbow and wears her hair powdered and curled; this was very normal and modern for the last part of the Rococo era. The man wears a brocade silk vest under a long coat lined with silk with large buttonholes down the side, as well as a tricorn hat and buckled shoes.Lots of men rocked this look. His hair was also powdered and tied back with a ribbon.
In this article the item that was being described in full details was the sleeves which was flared at the elbow and also also the powedered hair which was popular back in the 1600s and 1700s
- Mikayla F
i learned that the type of “scarf” worn around the lady’s shoulders(1750 woman on the right) is called a fichu. i also like the big lace trimmed sleeves she has. her mobcap (bonnet) is also very cute. the 1770 male dress is very subtle in design but are still wearing the ugly(in my opinion) powdered wig. i really like the design on his shirt.
According to the article History of Costume,the sleeves were best detailed and described.The sleeves included of cuffed sleeves and flared sleeves. Head caps were also well decribed. Some women wore mobcaps or capuchin a type of hooded cape.
- Maurae C.
Period 6
The text describes in detail the type of gowns women wore between the 1750s-1770s;
furthermore it describes the different silhouettes . As it informs women often wore gowns with large cuffed sleeves, and fichu that lay between the neck and shoulder. In addition the text described that men wore a brocade silk vest under a long coat.
WHAT I LEARNED WHILE READING PLATE 7&8,WAS THAT WOMEN WOULD WEAR A LOT OF RIBBONS TO EITHER TIE A CAPUCHIN CAPE OR TO DECORATE A FICHU.ALSO IN THE 1770’S DRESSES WERE WORN WITH A SOLID COLOR AND A QUILTED UNDERSKIRT.
I learned that in 1750 women wore a hooded capuchin cape trimmed with fur and ribbons. They also wore long cuffed sleeves and covering around there neck and shoulders. They also wore mob caps tied under the chin with a ribbon. In 1770 wore solid and heavy colors with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice. Quilt underskirts are worn underneath and her sleeves are open and flared. She wears her hair powdered and curled.
The information that is described in detail is the kind of sleeves the woman wore like the cuffed sleeve in plate 7, also how a mobcap is worn with a ribon tied around the head in plate 7.In plate 8 it described how the women wore solid colored gowns with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice, and a quilted underskirt underneath, it also says that the sleeves were flared at the elbow, and that women wore their hair powdered and curled.
In plate 7 it tells me women would wear bows on their clothe and other decorations such as fur. In plate 8 it explains how women would have their hair in curls not tied up as before. So over the time things changed like before they would have their hair tied up and in the 1770 they had them in curls, loose.
in the 1750 they wore head pieces and warm clothes.in the 1770 they wore light clothes.
What I learned for sure is how women and men dressed, and what was popular back then. The information that was described in detail, was when they talked about what the woman was wearing in picture 8. The woman was wearing a singled colored dress that was embroidered, and had a bodice. it also had a quilted skirt worn underneath.
Information that is described in detail are the ways the clothing were accessorized, the way the clothing was worn, looked and showed where and how the clothing fit. It also explains the type of fabric worn and what time period it was worn.

Ashlee E.
Some ideas that are described are a hooded cape with fur and ribbons called capuchin, and gowns with large cuffed sleeves and a triangular shawl around the neck and shoulders called a fichu. Some other ideas that were described was a large soft hat covering all of the hair and typically having a decorative frill called a mobcap that was tied under the chin with a ribbon, embroidered bodice and opening of overskirt, quilted underskirt, flared sleeves ending at the elbow, and a brocade silk vest worn by men who also wore a long coat with large buttonholes down the side. Men also work hats and buckled shoes.

What I learned for sure is that women wear more than one layer of skirts . She would wear an over skirt and underskirt, the sleeves would be flared and her hair would be curled, which was very similar to the Rococo era. The men would wear silk clothing with a tricorn hat and bow behind their neck. Both men and women would wear their hair powdered.

what i learned so far about the topic is that the fashion and what women wore back in the day.
Cindy R.
what ive learned about this topic so far is the scandinavian style of how the females would wear decorative to respresent what jobs they have.
Clothing was made as an entire matching outfit.
-Leah Calabro
back then fashion has not only to do with fashion it also coordinate with music and architecture. in this century fashion can also coordinate with music and architecture, for example how now building are working with solar panels and in fashion more clothes are being design with the purpose of using sustainable garment.
what ive learned is The woman wears a wide collar trimmed with ermine fur, a muff, a hood, and a velvet mask to keep out the cold. Her underskirt is trimmed with gold embroidery and her bodice and sleeves are trimmed with ribbons.which i believe is very inteasting towards my designs.

What i learned about was the men fashion and style and what they wore in the 1660. i also learned bout the different types of sleeves and how the sleeves formed the arm of the men or woman. i also learned that in womens clothing in the 1660s was that they use alot of flower print and ribbons .
-ALYA SOTO
Plate 1 inspired me the most because of there style and the interesting vocabulary that they used during this time period. Reading about how styles evolved over time and to see what the called it to our moderen day lanuage was interesting
-Oriel Allsop
i learned that they were dress in type of style a decorative wear
The costumes that I thought were very nice was the silhouette. I also like how modern day in fashion, fashion deigners tryed to recreat the same idea but make it more sylish ans add hats and corsets.
This period was a transition from Baroque to Rococo fashions, and so incorporated styles from both eras. The man wears a long coat buttons at the middle, knee breeches, hose, and buckled shoes. His sleeves are loose and cuffed, showing the undershirt underneath. The woman wears a flowered robe à l’anglais with large cuffs and a lace collar
The costumes that had inspired me the most is the first one . Its really intresting ...
i learned that back then thier fashion was more flashy, then ours today. due to the fact you had females with bug and tall wigs, with decorations on it, and same with men, accept no decorations, just big and tall wigs.
i learned that men also wear wigs like how women did in the 18 century.they worn a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. The cadogan style of men’s hair became popular
-tabitha ogarro
why were the clothes at that time of period so tight and what were the reasons that men used wigs instead of their natural hair ??
I've learned about the fashion trends, and how it's worn in the 18th century. For instance, The woman wears a solid colored gown with embroidery at the opening of the overskirt and bodice, with an underskirt underneath. The man wears a long coat buttons at the middle, knee breeches, hose, and buckled shoes, or high boots.
- Danielis Taveras
I learned that Fashion played a large role in the French revolution, revolutionaries started wearing tricolor red, white and blue and rosettes skirts.

What I learned is that french elites were exposed and able to afford lavish fabrics and materials for their clothing. The lower class loathed the upper class because of how they flaunted what they wore and how much better it was. Men were accepted if they were wigs on a regular basis, unlike nowadays where it is used for cross-dressing. Tricorne hat also became popular during this time along with waistcoats and non skirt-like coats.

The European costume that inspires me the most chemise a la reine. The similarities this costume has is that it does not require a corset. A difference in the costumes is that the design of the costume from the 18th century has changed. In the third paragraph it says, "as no corset was worn and the natural figure was apparent" (History of Costume, 1).
-Samantha J.
I learned that men style of clothing played an important role in their society. They were serious about the outfits and colors that were wore during this time. Also, I learned that there was different social classes with different expectations of their clothing wear. According to the article it states "The lower class loathed their open show of wealth when they themselves dressed in little more than rags." This evidence shows that there were different classes, but people hardly can notice the class your in because of the clothing wear. Therefore it played an major role in society.
The costume that inspired me was the German & Scandinavain of 1660. Its very intresting because it looked like the women was housewives ....
~ Anastashie Santiago
The costume that inspires me the most was Madame Pompadours style.Her adored pastel colors and the light, happy style came to be known as Rococo.I learned that the pagoda sleeves, were formed to they fit the arm of the person. Most clothes today are are like the pagoda sleeves, they are more fitting, the clothes are bright as well and filled with life.
what i learned is that men wear wigs and really tight clothes back then. that's how the men get the ladies back then too ... it was called the German style , it was in patterns and the wigs were called "The cardigan style of men’s hair " it developed and became popular during the period, with horizontal rolls of hair over the ears .

The European clothing in the 17th century that inspired me the most were the women clothing.Women clothing inspired me because they use to wear very beautiful dresses and wore panniers under them to make the dress look bigger.Some similarities between this fashion and the fashion in this modern day is that, some people may still wear this type of clothing because they might love the clothing and it feels comfortable or even because they just feel that the fashion back in the 17th or 18th century was better.The differences is that people today like to wear the clothing we have in the modern day, as in plain clothing because that's the type of style that is worn a lot on people today.
what I learned about the European fashion for men so far is that they really dressed like women. in the text it says" Breeches usually stopped at the knee, with white stockings worn underneath and heeled shoes, which usually had large square buckles" most women are the ones who wears tights and heeled shoes not men. they also wore wigs. "Wigs were usually worn by men, preferably white" in modern day time it is mostly women who wear wigs and this shows that their cultural way of dressing was very feminine
I agree with Tyler Young's post.
I don't see why they needed wigs. I would let them wear wigs for an occasion and if the men were bald but their was no need to were wigs.
What i learned so far about this topic is the fashion that the Germans style of clothing was worn.Also the way they describe,how the clothes was in different patterns and designs.Also i learned that the clothes that the men worn became very popular because of how it had look,what they worn with there clothes such as white wigs.

In the article "History of costume" talks about how men's clothing were the trending topic.Also it shows how men's clothes got a whole new level to dress because they experienced a new way to dress and use their wings. According to the "History of costume" it states,"Tricorne hats became popular during this period, often edged with braid and decorated with ostrich feathers. Wigs were usually worn by men, preferably white. The cadogan style of men’s hair developed and became popular during the period, with horizontal rolls of hair over the ears." This shows how men clothes were the trending topic in this era because it got better by using fancy clothes well also not that fancy but for example they were is a coat, waistcoat, and breeches and use their wigs.

The costume that inspires me the most is the 1770 costume because it gave me more ideas to what i should add onto my designs.For example,A quilted underskirt. The similarities that this has to the western clothing is the men their wore hats with their outfits like now a days.
The costume that inspires me the most were the Panniers that were being worn under the women's dresses during the 18th century. This fashion has inspired me the most because, the dresses were big and colorful. Especially the choice of color on the dresses is what probably inspires me the most. These fashions were known as the Rococo fashions.

What I learned is that it was okay for men to wear wigs preferably white. The style men’s wigs were with horizontal rolls of hair over the ears. This style was more for the wealthy so those in lower classes didn't favor the style. While the rich were fashionable the poor dressed in little more than rags.

What i learned while reading the article was that a variety of men in that time wore a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. The waistcoat was the most important piece that pulled the whole outfit together. Also, the cadogan style of men’s hair were popular with horizontal rolls over the hair.
The European costume that inspires is the robe à la française.The robe à la française also had a tight bodice with a low-cut square neckline, usually with large ribbon bows down the front, wide panniers, and was lavishly trimmed with all manner of lace, ribbon, and flowers. The robe à la française has a impact on modern because people today use those kind of silhouettes, panniers, lace, ribbon, and flowers to create their outfits inspire by the robe à la française. The difference is that they doesn't do it so dramatic, but a lot in modern day style.
The 17th century costumed that inspired me the most was the rococo because i liked the way it used pastel colors and the light.One similarity that clothes from that era have as the clothes we wear now is that women sometimes still wear big dresses and people still wear knee socks.One difference is that men no longer wear powdered wigs or breeches.
The European costume that inspires me the most is would be robe à la française. It had a tight bodice with a low-cut square neckline, with large ribbon bows down the front, wide panniers, and was lavishly trimmed with all manner of lace, ribbon, and flowers. This costume had a sense of elegance and class.The clothing from today's and the 18th century era have a big difference,now a days women only wear dresses during special occasions such as weddings,prom,communions ect.
People now a days would usually wear more laid back clothing.
I learned that at this time men clothing became a matter of life or death, they where really serious about it. If you weren't wearing the cloths that where popular then you might get killed. One of the most general outfit a man wore was a habit à la française. This outfit was made up of a coat, breeches,and a waistcoat. All of the clothing had many details and patterns on it. Even the hair had to have style, the most popular style of hair for men at the time was called cadogan it had horizontal rolls on top of the ears.I also learned that fashion had a big role on the french revolution, and fashion was a way for people characterize themselves.
What I learned was that during this era people liked to exaggerate their clothes/hair, etc. The bigger/brighter/fuller something was, the more "beautiful" it was. Also,(still true today) you could tell a lot judging by what the person attire (it showed their social class). "The lower class loathed their open show of wealth when they themselves dressed in little more than rags." This shows that not everyone could afford to have "fancy/lavish" clothes.
what i learned is that men in this era actually put effort into their clothing or style. they wore wigs, elaborate waistcoats,stockings etc. Now in present day you wouldn't see this. you would see guys sagging their pants and everyone carries the same name brands. back then, it wasn't so much as a specific brand, it was based on how elaborate or extravagant your look was as a whole. this would include things like what kind of hair you wig was made out of and the style of which it was made into. from this section of the article i can conclude that men were more creative then, now everyone wears the same style.The designs is what makes it unique in each person. unlike now that everyone would buy the exact same style, design, and brand, therefore, leading to everyone being the same and no one being unique.

Yes because the rich flaunted what they wore and the lower class hated them for that
In the article "History of Costume" it talks about how men wore different coats.Such as waistcoat, and breeches. The waistcoat was the most fancy piece because it showed different pattern print.Breeches are usually worn with white stockings and it goes up to the knee. Waist coats are worn to open a showcase. Men also put wigs on it became very popular with the rolls in the side of their ears. I think men back then was very classy and unique. - kimberly cuevas
I agree with Megan Tapia because "In the 18 century the taller your wig was the more important you seemed to be." Which is true the wealthily did wear bigger wigs. But I thought it came with a price that the rich didn't consider. See being that the wigs were make worth wheat and flour; which is a food score started an uproar among the lower classes.

What I learned is that the France costume (the one on the right picture/ 17th century)is the important fashion trend during their time. According in the article it said "Fashion played a large role in the French Revolution. Revolutionaries characterized themselves by patriotically wearing the tricolor—red, white, and blue—on rosettes, skirts, breeches, etc."
However, the other one (18th century), they usually wore different variations clothing such as: a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. In the text it said "The waistcoat was the most decorative piece, usually lavishly embroidered or displaying patterned fabrics."
Although, the one that inspired me the most is the 17th century, because now a day men don't wear a wig, which is called "cadogan style" during their time.

What i learned so far is that in france the fashion was really luxtury and exotic and very extravagant for the wealthy people, they often wore there hair really high and often added center pieces to it or little elements to make it stand out more, i also learned that the rich used wheat meal to powder there hair wich angered the poor people in france who could not afford bread since the tax and prices were going up. I also learned that woman wore puffy dresses and wore a wooden linning under there dress wich made there dresses puff up underneath and look longer around there waist.
what I have learned from this article is that many of the styles of before were very different from the styles now, however many of the popular clothing made today are inspired by clothing from back then.Also back then style and fashion was more about elegant or extravagant and unfortunately now its all about swag and brands. The costume that inspires me the most is plate 5 (1720), "This period was a transition from Baroque to Rococo fashions, and so incorporated styles from both eras." i really like the the flowered robe à l’anglais of this era, this dress and design show how women dresses have many details that we still use today in modern times.
