I've been studying for my Euro test tomorrow for hours, and figured it was about time I allowed myself a little break. Which basically translated into, "let's find indirect ways to continue subtly doing Euro."
I did some research into the Elizabethan era style of dress, though I only had time enough to skim the text and note down a few resources for future reference. Some sites I found useful that I might return to in the future are:
In the Elizabethan era/Tudor dynasty/medieval times/whatever you choose to call it, clothing was very strictly moderated. Clothing worn by higher and middle or lower classes differed significantly. Women, in particular, were required to wear several pieces of clothing simultaneously, including multiple layers of undergarments and various accessory pieces. Certain laws, called Sumptuary Laws, governed the apparel worn by different individuals in society. Failure to adhere to these strict guidelines could result in severe punishments, from fines to loss of property or title, to death. It's little wonder there was not much room for creative fashion design back then...
