Variations in English Women's Dress in the Eighteenth Century

Abstract

There has been little study of dress in England below the higher levels of fashion, probaxsbly because, leaving the acceptable, middle-class level, we see only a homespun or coarser version of the contemporary style, gradually wearing thin into no style at all. The variations from the main stream of fashion which appear in many countries of Europe, called folk, peasant or regional costume seem to be missing from English dress.
