“Did you know the men wore corsets”? In other words in the Elizabethan Era fashion for the men. In what men wore as part of their wardrobe they were very tight fitting corsets. During the Elizabethan Era in fashions from the 1500-1600s, the men wore a corset and a white collar that looked similar to a peacock. now what you can except in my topic is how the upper, middle and lower class wore their clothes in the Elizabethan Era .
Source C clearly doesn’t support source B and this is proven at the start of the Gwen’s entry when she express her anger toward the way they had to dress; “The thought of the discomfort, restraint and pain which we had to endure form our clothes makes me even angrier now than it did”. It is very evident that Mrs Raverat didn’t agree that wearing a corset was an invigorating experience for the whole system.
Boutonnieres became “a thing” when the King of France arrived in Italy. The people brought him a wreath of violets, which he very happily wore. Later in the 1940’s, flower gardens became popular, initiating floral patterns to be worn on men’s clothing. When painters began to portray other individuals wearing bouquets of flowers on the men’s “buttonhole,” the country’s men also started copying how the drawings were portrayed. However, as time progressed, just like the corsages changed places and meanings, so did the boutonniere. Around the 1830’s the frock coat became popular, but it wasn’t till about two decades later when the “Tweedside” coat came about. The fashion was similar to a turndown shirt collar with the coat buttons closed all the way to the top. This resulted in men leaving their top buttons undone. Consequently, the right side of the coat flapped over with the button facing the clavicle, allowing the left side to sow the boutonniere from the inside. This was how the notched lapel came into existence as it is
Queen Elizabeth I, in fact, had a special type of corset made for her called the effigy corset. This corset had three sections and tied in the front. Corsets of the Queen were very different from what one thinks of as corsets today (Leed). Queen Elizabeth I, and most of the women of her time, wore corsets made to essentially shape the body into a tube-like shape. Typically, women wore corsets made from linen and stiff rope to hold the shape, but as Drea Leed said, “Queen Elizabeth had dozens of pairs of bodies [corsets] made of ‘taphata, sattin and vellet’ (taffeta, satin and velvet), according to the wardrobe accounts of the Master of the Queen's Closet.” Even though the corsets were made of different materials, they still mimicked the Queen’s fashion lead. Although Elizabeth I definitely made popular the corset and the body shape it helped women to achieve, she did not introduce the corset. The garment was first seen around this time on the nobles of Spain. Therefore, even if she did not create the garment herself, just her wearing something would soon cause her subjects to desire the look, which demonstrates how powerful of a force she was in the fashion world of the Renaissance
People today are so focused on looks and being better than everyone else. They are willing to spend extensive amounts of money, and put themselves through pain just to fit into society now and days, with the help of a new fad called waist trainers. By cinching people’s waists so tight, their bodies actual start to mold into a more hourglass figure. Or so they think this is what is happening to their bodies, but in reality something far worse is happening.
Queen Marie Antoinette started a fashion revolution in France when she began ordering and wearing muslin dresses from “the Americas.” Muslin dresses would have been plentiful during the 1780s when the Queen sought a simpler more comfortable wardrobe. In addition to this, the climate of the southern portion of New France and its islands caused an abundance of cotton to grow and foster a budding fabric industry.
“During the French Revolution,” answers Helen. “During this time, fashion in France had reached other countries and began to grow, especially in England. Fashion may have been a big part of our old king, Louis XIV’s time, though it was during the eighteenth century that fashion in France had spread out to other European countries. However, we must credit Louis XIV for leaving a legacy in France for future generations to follow.

This investigation aims to reveal why portions of Western society sustained negative attitudes toward corsetry throughout the four centuries in which corsets were widely used. Corsets were worn under women’s clothes daily between the fifteenth and the twentieth centuries, and were used to protect the organs and improve the posture of men as well as correct scoliosis. After they fell out of use in the early 1900s, they continued to be a symbol of oppression and the macabre, and an analysis of the views of those who saw corsets that way reveals medical misinformation and a misogynistic view of women to be the source of distrust of corsets.

As the 1900's progressed, women were presented with new inventions which slowly took the place of traditional corsets. With the start of World War I, women began to enter the work-force and many of these women worked as laborers in factories, making daily corset wear a problem. In 1917 the U.S. War Industries board even requested that women stop buying corsets to reduce consumption of metal. Some sources say that up to 28,000 tons of metal was conserved through this effort.
Medieval women’s clothing was an important part of their social standings and showed the wearers rank and position in society; it was also not just affected by wealth as social statuses changed what you were and were not allowed to wear. The feudal system defined what they wore with the king and queens leading the fashion. There were also laws as to how a person could be dressed and the cost of the item/s for example: Only royalty could wear ermine trimming, only nobles, upper class and higher classes were allowed to wear velvet, silk, fur, lace, cotton, taffeta and coloured or dyed materials, lesser nobles were allowed to wear fox an otter trimming, lower classes could only wear wool, linen and sheepskin and the lowest classed, labours and
