VÊTEMENTS (CLOTHING)
Laver, James. (1966), 8-9.
In the fifteen hundred years the essential lines of costume are hardly changed. Both Greek woman and the early medieval king wear what is in effect a tunic and a cloak.
Up to the end of the Middle Ages, differences of clothes are by class and country rather than time.

Two examples of clothes in which it is obviously impossible to engage in any active pursuit.Laver, James. Dress. (1966) 21, 26.
FASHION MADE ITS OWN
English dress was indebted to Spain for its shape, but the decoration and exaggeration of certain features was unique to England.
Under Elizabeth’s influence men’s dress lost the assertive shape it had acquired in her father’s reign and, is it gradually became more dandified.
Men’s dress at the time of Queen Elizabeth’s accession in 1558 was generally restrained an dignified, epitomized by rich, dark colours set off
at neck and wrists by white frills, enlivened by gold embroidery…the clothes followed the lines of the body fairly closely, and apart from the
shape of the trunk hose, with little exaggeration of any one feature.
ELIZABETHAN DRESS
Ashelford, Jane. (1988) 8, 12 41, 43 50, 66, 112. .
Women not only used to be called the weaker sex, but it was actually believed that they were physically weaker. They were dressed for warmth and protected from the weather. If our ancestors could see the costumes worn by the average girl of today they would be terrified by their temerity. Crawford, M.D.C. (1952), 19.
WOMEN OBSESSED WITH EXTREMENESS
THE EARLY TO MID 20TH CENTURY
No period of fashion has shown more rapid changes of silhouette than the last 50 years,
during which the changes were
deliberately created by the fashion
industries seeking seasonable markets for their creations
Crawford, M. D. C. (1952), 24-25.
