Helmdon Branch WEA – Autumn 2014 Course
Charity reg. no: 1112775
| Title: |
Well Turned Out |
| Tutor: | Judith Hodgkinson |
| About this Course: |
This course looks at the clothing of men and women from 1660-1930, through portraits and documents. Topics to be covered: Who set fashion, and did that change over time? Does every picture tell the story, and how can we find out what it was like to wear these garments? What fabrics were used, and how were the clothes put together? What was worn underneath: were padding and corsets worn by men as well as women? How quickly did fashion change, and when did clothes become more relaxed and comfortable? These topics, and many others, will be considered, with worksheets to encourage discussion. |
