To trace the origin of clothes would involve the discussion of many principles of psychological interest. What first prompted man to devising raiment? Was it the love of ornamentation - a quality so universal and so deeply seated as to seem like an instinct? Was it the desire for protection as man became more of a roving animal? Was clothing first adopted as a dis tinction by those who assumed superiority over their fellows? Was it the result of man contriving for himself rude habitations, instead of sheltering in the caves and holes of the earth? How and where the idea of clothing first grew up must remain matter for conjecture. But, once adopted, the form of clothing was, in the first instance.

Download or read book Patterns of Fashion written by Janet Arnold and published by MacMillan. This book was released on 2008 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one interested in the history of dress, from art historians to stage designers, from museum curators to teachers of fashion and costume, can function effectively without Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion series, published by Macmillan since 1964. Since her untimely death in 1998, admirers of her work have been waiting, with increasing impatience, for the promised volume devoted to the linen clothes of the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods, a companion to her previous volume on tailored clothes of the same era. Planned and partly prepared by Janet herself, and completed by Jenny Tiramani, Janet's last pupil, no other book exists that is dedicated to the linen clothes that covered the body from the skin outwards. It contains full colour portraits and photographs of details of garments in the explanatory section as well as patterns for 86 items of linen clothing which range from men's shirts and women's smocks, from superb ruffs and collars to boot hose and children's stomachers. Beautifully produced, it is an invaluable guide to both the history and the recreation of these wonderful garments.
