4. Costume During The French Revolution Period.
 A significant shift in culture occurred in France and
elsewhere at the beginning of the 18th century,
known as the Enlightenment, which valued reason
over authority. In France, the sphere of influence
for art, culture and fashion shifted from Versailles
to Paris, where the educated bourgeoisie class
gained influence and power in salons and cafés.

 Women fashion
 Men fashion
 Working-class clothing

5. Children’s Fashion
 In the late 18th century, new
philosophies of child-rearing led to
clothes that were thought
especially suitable for children.
Toddlers wore washable dresses
called frocks of linen or cotton.
British and American boys after
perhaps three began to wear
rather short pantaloons and short
jackets, and for very young boys
the skeleton suit was introduced.
These gave the first real
alternative to boys' dresses, and
became fashionable across Europe.

6. WOMEN’S FASHION DURING THE
FRENCH REVOLUTION
 Women's clothing styles maintained an emphasis on the conical
shape of the torso while the shape of the skirts changed
throughout the period. The wide panniers (holding the skirts
out at the side) for the most part disappeared by 1780 for all
but the most formal court functions, and false rumps (bum-
pads or hip-pads) were worn for a time.

7. Gowns
 The usual fashion at the beginning of the period was a low-
necked gown (usually called in French a robe), worn over a
petticoat. Most gowns had skirts that opened in front to
show the petticoat worn beneath. As part of the general
simplification of dress, the open bodice with a separate
stomacher was replaced by a bodice with edges that met
center front.

8. Gowns
 This gown shows the fitted back of the robe à la'anglaise and
skirt draped à la polonaise.

9. Jackets and Redingotes
 An informal alternative to the dress was a costume of a jacket
and petticoat, based on working class fashion but executed in
finer fabrics with a tighter fit.

10. Underwear
 The shift, chemise (in France), or smock, had a low neckline and elbow-
length sleeves which were full early in the period and became increasingly
narrow as the century progressed. Drawers were not worn in this period.
1. The shift comes to somewhere just below the knee – short enough so that it
does not show under any of the petticoats.
2. Then on top of the first petticoat comes the stays (corset)
3. The gown will be pinned shut, possibly over an embroidered stomacher

11. Footwear and Accessories
 Shoes had high, curved heels (the origin of modern "louis
heels") and were made of fabric or leather. Shoe buckles
remained fashionable until they were abandoned along with
high-heeled footwear and other aristocratic fashions in the
years after the French Revolution.

12. Shoes
 Woman's silk brocade shoes with straps for shoe buckles,
1770s. Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 63.24.7a-b.

13. Hairstyles And Headgear
 Just as fashions change, so too do
styles in hairstyles and cosmetics.
The second half of the 18th century
is an era particularly identified with
hair and makeup, as these became
such potent symbols of aristocracy
during the Enlightenment and
French Revolution.
 Hair was powdered into the early
1780s, but the new fashion required
natural colored hair, often dressed
simply in a mass of curls.

14. Men's fashion
 The French Revolution
really brought about
the old cliché “clothes
make the man,”
because fashion became
a political statement. No
matter how rich a guy
was, he was dressing
like a commoner; like a
san-culottes. Part of this
was to save his neck.

15. Coats
 By the 1770s, coats
exhibited a tighter,
narrower cut than seen
in earlier periods, and
were occasionally
double-breasted. Toward
the 1780s, the skirts of
the coat began to be
cutaway in a curve from
the front waist.

16. Shirt and Stock
Shirt sleeves were full,
gathered at the wrist
and dropped shoulder.
Full-dress shirts had
ruffles of fine fabric or
lace, while undress
shirts ended in plain
wrist bands. A small
turnover collar returned
to fashion, worn with
the stock.

17. Breeches, Shoes, And Stockings
 Low-heeled leather shoes
fastened with shoe buckles
were worn with silk or woolen
stockings.
 Boots were worn for riding.
 The buckles were either
polished metal, usually in silver
or with paste stones, although
there were other types.

18. Working-class clothing
 Working-class people in 18th century often
wore the same garments as fashionable
people: shirts, waistcoats, coats and breeches
for men, and shifts, petticoats, and dresses or
jackets for women.
 However, they owned fewer clothes, which
were made of cheaper and hard fabrics.
 Working-class men also wore short jackets,
and some wore trousers rather than breeches.
 Smock-frocks were a regional style for men,
especially shepherds.
 Country women wore short hooded cloaks,
most often red.
 Both sexes wore handkerchiefs or
neckerchiefs.

29. About La Gerconne And The New Simplicity (1914-
1924)
 The word 'garçonne' is synonymous with the English
'flapper' (women's fashion of the 1920s epitomised
by the 'bob' haircut).
 The Bachelor Girl (French: La Garçonne) is a novel
by Victor Margueritte first published in 1922. An
English translation was first published in 1923 by
Alfred A. Knopf. It deals with the life of a young
woman who, upon learning that her fiancé is
cheating on her, decides to live life freely and on her
own terms. Amongst other things, this included
having multiple sexual partners. The title translates
as The Tomboy. The title addresses the somewhat
ambiguous realm between definite gender roles, e.g.
where a Judeo-Christian patriarchal society might
place a free-thinking, free-living woman in its social
strata.

30. New Simplicity
 Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in
clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing,
or furniture.", as per Wikipedia.
 And they say "Simplicity is an ultimate sophistication."
In simple terms, Simplicity will always be fashion but
fashion in every sense cannot be simplicity. How
simplicity is placed in the observer's mind would
probably make things fashionable or not.
