FASHION BLOG #4 TUDOR FASHION
The Tudor era takes place from 1485 to 1603; Henry 7th, 8th and Queen Elizabeth I were the rulers. But I’m only gonna be talking about Henry the 8ths fashion time period. Fabrics were typically made from Wool, Silk and linen. Fur and lace were common with rich people. Necklines were square cut and high (but became lower). Sleeves became large with fur and embroidery. Hoop skirts helped achieve the full skirt. Chemises were the main undergarment. Kirtles were an undergarment like stays and corsets, but they were longer and more like a stay + long dress. They added structure like corsets. They were made from buckram and forced the wearer to have good posture. Their dresses were not washed often because of the materials they were made of. So instead they were air dried. Headdresses were common during this era. Two main ones were the English Gable Hood and the French Hood. Under the hoods they would wear a white cap called a coif. The gable hood has a triangular pointed shape and the back and front of the hair were completely covered. The French hood has a circular shape and the tips of the hood reach the chin. The top of the hair is shown but the back is covered like the gable hood. Anne Boleyn popularized the French hood in the English court after she returned from France. Also when Mary I was queen flat goods became popular, they were flat at the top and had angular sides. It was similar to the French hood but the hairline and hood were was pushed back and the rest of the hair was covered by a veil. Girdle belts were placed around the waist and they had a long chain that almost went down to the bottom of the dress. They were made out of metals like gold, gems and pearls. :))
Thank you for reading and my sources were primarily the Epochs-of-Fashion.com they have really great dives into fashion history.

Baroque Fashion blog #3
Hi! So I love fashion history! It’s one of my favorite research topics! So I wanted to talk about Baroque fashion. I don’t see many people talking about it so I wanted to. I’ll go over some trends, styles and undergarments! ;)
The baroque time period was 1600-1750 (Baroque and Rococo time periods over lap a little so some say 1720 or 1750.) The fashion consisted of fine silks, ribbons, wigs and corsets. Ruffed collars were very popular during the early baroque period. Ladies wore multiple underskirts made of expensive fabric. Over time the sleeves widened and became styled. Baroque fashion started out as natural, with short bodices and square necklines. But over time it became extravagant. In the 1630s they switched the square necklines for cape-like collars called Vandyke Collars. The collars had minimal lace trimming and gems. As time went on the short bodices started to get lower and lower, making a slim, long bodice with a wide skirt. The neckline of the dress was quite low but they were covered by Kerchiefs. Soft pastels were common and sleeves were held together by ribbons. A house garment called the Matinee became popular. It was usually made of colorful fabrics and trimmed fur on the seams. Towards the end of the 17th century the French court started to shift to clothing similar to the Robe à la Francaise or robe of the French kind. The Robe à la Francaise was made from the Mantua a style that was gaining popularity in the late 17th century. The Mantua was made up of a gown that was spilt down the middle and it exposed the underskirts. The two garments that made the style were the Manteau and Jube (the skirt). Also the sleeves started to become tighter and had ruffles on the end called Engageantes. In the summer woman would wear a veil to protect from the heat and the sun. In the winter woman would wear fur muffs, hoods and masks. Heels were still very popular though they were uncomfortable because of the structure and the lack of support. They were typically made of velvet and leather. People surprisingly (lmao) washed regularly even if they couldn’t afford to bathe everyday. Pox were rampant at this time and would leave people with long lasting scars. They would cover them with face powder and decorative plasters called Mouches. A lot of the face makeup contained lead, but knowing this people still used it….💀. Woman tired to keep a nature look and use as little makeup as possible. Hair was starting to be uncovered and woman would part their hair in the middle and have loose curls on the sides or bangs. Hair was commonly decorated with bows. In the French court bodice ornaments called devant le corsage became popular. They were placed at the end of the bodice. Lockets with miniature portraits were very popular during this time. I hope you enjoyed and learned something! I got most of this info from the Epochs of Fashion website! They have a ton of deep dives into historical fashion periods, I highly recommend you check them out! <3

Chappell Roan, boundaries and a breath of fresh air Blog #2
Hi! This is my first pop culture blog <3 I hope you like it and I'd love to hear ur opinions!
Chappell Roan, this years break through artist. She is truly a breath of fresh air to the pop industry! Because it was getting very boring TBH. Her vocals are incredible, her fashion stands out after the clean girl and minimalist trends and her music is just so good!. We are truly in a pop renaissance. But what I wanted to talk about is the "controversies" Chappell has gotten into. Chappell has been an artist for over a decade. She got noticed on Youtube for doing covers. Shortly after she signed with Atlantic Records at 17 and released her first EP, "School Nights". Afterward, Atlantic Records ended the contract with her and she moved back to her home town. For the next couple years she did miscellaneous jobs and dated her boyfriend of 4 years. Suddenly the broke up and she moved to LA. She signed to Island records (and later Amusement Records). She had taken a break for about two years because of being dropped and other challenges in her life. She started regularly releasing music in 2022. In 2023, She released her first album "The Rise And Fall Of a Midwest Princess". She gained more popularity and went on tour. She went on tiny desk, on The Tonight Show, Coachella, The VMAS and lalapoolza. Also her songs "HOT TO GO!" and "Good luck, Babe", started to blow up on TikTok. I say all this is give people who don't know her some insight and for the people who say she is an industry plant. Remember, just because someone becomes known suddenly, doesn't mean they are an industry plant! She didn't even receive formal vocal training till recently (which shows how amazing she is). People are upset with her for a TikTok post she made saying not to invade her boundaries and to respect her privacy. She talked about being harassed, stalked and how they found out where her sister worked! People showed up to her family's house and some freak even grabbed her and kissed her without her consent! Like WTH! Imagine if people did all that to you and your family?! The entitlement that some "fans" have is disgusting! She deserves to have her boundaries and freedom, just like us. Famous or not. She doesn't need to change the people need to change! Also people were offended that she didn't want random people coming up to her on the street during her free time. I think people misunderstood, in a professional setting it is okay to say Hi and get an autograph. But when she is with her family and relaxing it is NOT okay to harass her and get mad when she refuses. This is perfectly reasonable to ask, it should be the standard for every musician. Also people wanted her to deliver her message in a less blunt way....OMG y'all! When has Chappell ever been anything but blunt, if anyone isn't going to sugarcoat something, it's her. The last thing I want to talk about is her response to the election. She stated in an article that both sides had issues and she didn't agree with everything both sides stood for. She encouraged people to not let her sway their choice. Idk why people are so mad. She is 1000000000% correct! She's allowed not agree with everything, IT'S HER OPINION! Almost everything has negatives and positives! And YOU shouldn't let a pop star, make YOUR life decisions! What's next is Chappell gonna tell you to choose how many kids to have to what to have for lunch?! She is allowed to have her own opinion ppl! I hope you liked this! Also lmk if theres a pop culture topic I can research and talk about! ;)

How do politics affect fashion? Blog #1
HI! You can call me AverageOverlord! lol I'm deeply sorry. This is my first post! Each week I'm going to try to do one post about pop culture and one about my interest. And if you have ideas lmk (if anyone actually reads this XD)!
Lots of people are thinking about the election, so I started thinking how does politics impact fashion? After thinking for a while I started to notice a pattern. When the country (America) was more conservative, people dressed more modestly and used trends from other conservative decades. When we were more democratic, our fashion would be looser, shorter and more freeing. For example during the 1920s, woman's clothing took a drastic turn compared to the previous decades. The 1910s had a more natural silhouette, woman had long sleeves and the dresses were below the ankles. The 1920s were dresses were shorter and boxier. Woman even started to cut their hair into bob which was extremely rare. It was a time were the woman's suffrage movement flourished and a good number of woman started to not dress according to men's standards. Credit had become immensely popular during the 20's. This was heavily directed in the fashion. Flappers were covered head to toe with glitz and glam. I've also noticed that when consumerism is bigger the fashion is more bold and extravagant. In the 20s, people had more free time so they started to buy more things. In the 1950s, after the war American's turned to a more conservative lifestyle. The Nuclear family was heavily marketed and the suburbs grew. The 50s fashion was heavily inspired by the late 1940s. Which was a was a very patriotic decade because of WW2. The fashion was modest and extremely feminine. It was a comfort for people who just wanted the normal life before the war back. The president for most of the 50s, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was a Republican. All these things influenced the reclamation of conservative fashion and values. 1960s and 70s fashion was very free and bold. Big hair, bright makeup and bold clothing. Disco-esque and Hippy/Bohemian clothing were extremely popular. Hippy and bohemian clothing were made up of elements taken from other cultures (that were often viewed as inferior). The Romani people is where this 'trend' originally started from. (so please if you want to dress Bohemian and you can afford it, don't buy from fast fashion brands, buy from local and small businesses, that are run by and supported by Romani people. They deserve the credit for THEIR clothing. THAT is cultural appreciation vs appropriation.) Also the civil rights movement was growing during this time. So people of color started to straighten and perm their natural hair less, It was a protest and a statement. This was called the Afro Hair Movement, It challenged Eurocentric beauty standards and celebrated Black people's natural hair and ethnicity. So as we can see the 60s and 70s were leaning towards liberalism. The 1980s was HEAVILY inspired by the 50s. It was after the Vietnam war and consumerism was booming. During the 70s bold colors were popular, But in the 80s that only increased! Neons, loud makeup, hair and bold layered fashion. Ronald Regan was the president for a majority of the 80s and he was VERY republican. Poodles skirts from the 50s came back and Polka dots were popular in both decades. They also had bright colors and cinched waists in common. I also noticed how in the 60s and 70s wedding dresses were getting shorter and less traditional. But in the 50s and 80s, the wedding dresses were huge ball gowns with long sleeves, The 80s was definitely a consumerist decade, it was full of game consoles, new technology, shopping malls and movies. I would say the 80s was one of if not the most consumerist decade in the 20th century. The 2000s was full of metallics and iridescence makeup and fashion. We had LOW cut jeans (yes lower than your mid rise lol). And red carpet fashion that was mostly street wear. (lol idk if you can feel by tone but I'm very salty about that XD). The 2000s were inspired by a revival of the 70s and 80s. The late 2000s had to stock market crash of 2008. After this fashion was never the same. We started to lean heavily on fast fashion because people couldn't afford anything else. I hope you liked this! ;)
