Strange fashion ideas from the past are in many ways a good lesson for modern cloth designers. First, people went crazy like a way to prove where they stand in society. They will wear high platform shoes for fashion, style, and fame and not tighten them most tightly or tie themselves up so they won't hurt their necks. Secondly, the more exaggerated, the better the fashion sense. From overly padded sleeves to cod with embroidered elaborate embroidery, true fashion fans always believed in the Golden Rule. "Bigger is better".
The fashion ideas and trends of the past were not only crazy, but also dangerous. The dye used for the fabric could be toxic arsenic, or the huge crinoline was easily flammable. Even a person's clothing did not endanger itself, but this strange fashion idea of the past has largely impaired the ability to get around and live comfortably. For example, those who wore blotto were not in a position to move their arms. Similarly, those who were proud of wearing hard clothes found it difficult to walk. And the wide panniers worn by women could not pass them through very narrow doors.
In any case, regardless of whether these fashion ideas are fatal or pure fools, we can at least appreciate that these ideas remain in history. Let's look at some of the fashion trends of the past. Goes!
Lotus shoes
These shoes were usually worn by Chinese girls who tied their feet. In China, the painful process of hurting the feet to make small feet was a common practice that is considered more beautiful. The feet often had a bandage taut and no growth of any kind was allowed, so the bones broke and the toes curled down. The whole process lasted about three years, and the woman's feet were made small throughout her life.
The women who tied their feet wore these lotus shoes, which were sheath-shaped or cone-shaped, which look like buds in the lotus. Made from ordinary silk cotton, these shoes often had embroidery, including patterns, animals, and flowers.
It was not an attempt to ban this painful way of tying the feet, but until 1911 it was finally banned by the rulers, the results did not really come.
Arsenic dress
In Victorian times, bottled green clothes are probably the most expensive dress. The reason behind the enormous price is the unique shade of green, which was actually achieved by the use of large amounts of non-subset dyes. The effect was obviously bad. Many women had vision problems, skin reactions and nausea because of the dye. But the only good thing is that the dress is very expensive, so it is worn only in special cases, reducing the exposure to these deadly elements.
The real damage happened to the producers, but who died to make such a fashionable dress for the rich.
Hard starch rings
Detachable rings in the 19th century were quite angry and fatal. They starved until they could not bend, attached to a pair of studs. On the other hand, the collar was so easy that it could easily choke someone, especially when a person fell asleep in clothes or drunk!
Pointed rings have been added to this problem. Once the St. Louis resident fell down, sharp, sharp rings dug into the throat, resulting in two deep cuts. In fact, the rings were so deadly that they were nicknamed. “Father Killer”!
fire
Panniers is taken from the French words "fire"In other words, "basket"Was anger from the early 17th century to the late 18th century. This dress, in the form of a boxed petticoat, has begun a trend to widen the skirt-like dress and is designed to move away from the waist on both sides. These dresses vary in shape and size, but are mainly made of wood, whale bones, metal or sometimes reeds. In general, the pannier size varies from case to case, so for larger cases, larger panniers were needed. This clothes was not cheap, only the rich could afford, and the servants had to wear small rings. Pannier was obviously so big that if two women tried to go through the aisle at the same time, they couldn't do it! The dress severely limited the overall body movement, which was not exactly comfortable.
Slowly, but steadily, the magnificence of this dress began to mock from everywhere. Most magazines have articles about how women are completely immersed in this fashion trend. ‘A chair hidden on both sides – to the ears”, Verses of major magazine readings.
cracker
Crackowes, also known by the name poulaine, was a hugely popular shoe throughout Europe in the late 14th century. These long shoes were named after Poland, known as Kraków, because they were the first to wear fashionable shoes by Polish aristocrats. The crackle sounded up to 24 inches at times, but the moment the shoes were found to be worn by the court, the shoes became anger! However, these were in demand, indicating the social status of the people. The longer the crack, the higher the wearer's position.
Sometimes in a comfortable walking position, I used a chain to tie the toe end of the shoe to my knees. At other times, the toes of these long shoes were filled with different kinds of materials. But despite the anger among the nobles, Church leaders and Conservatives did not approve this and even called it. “Demon Fingers”!
