The present world’s emergence is marked by dramatic evolution in fashion. All societies introduce or follow certain rules, about the way in which men, women and children should dress, or the way different social layers and groups should present themselves. Fashion moulds the idea of grace and beauty, notions of decency and shame. Evolution in fashion reflect these things. People used to dress according to their regional codes (such as sumptuary laws in seventeenth century France) till the rise of the age of democratic revolution and the development of capitalist markets. Fashion was regulated by class gender or status in social hierarchy.
We can have an idea about this from the condition of the women in Victoria England, they were groomed to be docile, dutiful and obedient. In contrary, men were taught to be firm, strong, aggressive and industrious. Women of that time were tightly laced up and dressed in stays, girls had to wear corsets. Such dresses have been reported to cause deformities and illness in young girls, these can also restrain body growth and disturb blood circulation. So the reforms were introduced in the dresses as to develop comfortable and convenient fashion.
Before the eighteenth century, ordinary people in Britain possessed very few cloths made of fax, linen or wool, which were difficult to clean. Their trade with India brought to them cheap, beautiful and easy to maintain clothes. During industrial revolution, British began mass manufacture of cotton textile which it exported to many parts of the world, including India. With invention of artificial fibers, clothes got lighter, shorter and simpler. Clothes got shorter during the First World War out of practical necessity. Many women were employed in ammunition factories. They required a simple, plain and comfortable uniform. Bright colors faded from sight and only sober colors were worn as the war dragged on. Also new schools for children emphasized the importance of plain dressing, and discouraged ornamentation. Changes within technology and economy, and the pressure of new times made people feel the need for change.
