Evolution Project



The theory of evolution means a change over time and how it changes. The evoultion of clothing has changed for many centuries and others to come. With wedding dresses in the late 1840s the change was the fact that you should wear a white wedding dress. This changed because Queen Victioria wore a white wedding dress rather than any other color that most people would choose. Then in the 19th century the clothing of the middle class styles changed even more. For the men it was a dark suit to show authority, respectability, and responsability. A sailor suite became essential for young boys to wear from the middle class. A middle class women in the nineteenth century was not to expose her breasts. They wore their hairs in curls or in a notted form.Middle class little girls like princesses wore a bow, ruffles, and pastels to show their distinctivness.

Later in the nineteenth century, clothes became more comfortable. Like as a knitted sweater they had knitted their own clothes. The clothing was made looser around the waist. In this time plaid was very popular and the most common colors were black or gray and the peices didn't always match. The men wore a jacket with four buttons on it, but only normally buttoning the top and leaving the rest undone. The women of the late nineteenth century would wear shawls,pelisses and redinagotes.

Later the fashion became more like what we have now. Thewomen would dress comfortable and not with a big poofy thing at your waist. The women would wear large hats on their heads and they would have a lot of details on their hats or they would wear a bonnet. The women had more relaxed dresses on and they wouldn't give them any trouble. The men mostly wore suits with hats. The men would have two knit ties, a cigarette holder, and a shirt collar.

This is something that maybe a women and her children would wear in the twentieth century. http://libraries.cua.edu/achrcua/industrial/factory.gif

Now these days everyone wears what they want and it doesn't have to be a specific thing. The men may wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. The women can wear jeans as well and a t-shirt, but sometimes dress up instead of being in boring clothing. The little babies wear anything that their parents want them to wear.
