Description
This course aims to study the development of woman’s dress in the 18th-century, based on our map of styles in Patterns of Fashion 6 and now published as a poster. We will navigate through the layers of dress and see how the different volumes of Patterns of Fashion interconnect.
We will explore a wide range of garments, from flat-cut informal gowns to sacks, fitted gowns of every sort, new styles, jackets and short gowns, Court dress and more.
Extant examples and reconstructions will be in the room to show the specifications in cut and silhouette of each of the main different styles.
