The occupational dress
costume history images shown below are from the illustrations appendix
to the chapter on late C18th English dress 1760-1820, and taken from English Costume by Dion Clayton Calthrop. As there are so many illustrations to this particular chapter, I have
divided it into 3 sections. This page - Page 2 - Shows the occupational dress plates of men's clothing of
this 60
year Georgian reign. For the Introduction to this book see this
introduction written by Dion Clayton Calthrop.My comments are in italics.
Calthrop wrote:-Throughout this long reign the changes of costume are so frequent, so
varied, and so jumbled together, that any precise account of them would
be impossible. I have endeavoured to give a leading example of most kind
of styles in the budget of drawings which goes with this chapter.
Fashion-Era.com looks at women's costume and fashion history and analyses the mood of an era. Changes in technology, leisure, work, cultural and moral values. Homelife and politics also
contribute to lifestyle trends, which in turn influence the clothes we wear. These are the changes that make any era of society special in relation to the study of the costume of a period.
