Women’s clothing was represented by a long skirt, fastened under the chest, and corsets – vests, which were laced, emphasizing the silhouette of a woman. Depending on the weather, scarves and shawls complemented the clothes. Beautiful capes with fringe and embroidery decorated women’s shoulders in cold and bad weather. But the clothes were fastened with the help of special buttons and laces.

Revolutionary changes were made in the manufacture of clothing by the nineteenth century, the era of the appearance of machine production. Manual labor was optimized by the scientist Joseph Marie Jacquard, who invented the loom. Now clothes were made faster, the material became of high quality, the pattern was executed more accurately.

Thanks to industrial weaving, the cost of making clothes decreased, all segments of the population had the opportunity to dress.

Women at this time tried to wear clothes that accentuated the silhouette, preferring dark colors in the robes. There were clothes with short sleeves.

The XX century brought various styles of clothing and stopped mocking the human body: corsets disappeared, clothes became more comfortable and more convenient. The age of technological progress has also influenced clothing, styles of clothing have appeared: simple and functional. But elegance and refinement have lost their significance, but new materials and new opportunities have come to replace them.

In the 1940s, mass-consumption clothing became increasingly in demand, but the war period brought its difficulties in the production of clothing for women.

Nowadays, women’s clothing is not just an item to cover up nudity, but also self-expression, the best means to emphasize beauty, sexuality. Today, clothes for women are being created practical for wearing at home, to work, for walking. And women’s trousers have become a symbol of democratic style. Women’s clothing emphasizes the dignity of the figure, helps to hide any flaws and is an expensive brand, on which business relations and status also depend.
