For the upper classes, it was a different story. Right after these fashion plates, for instance, there are descriptions of what various "ladies of distinction" actually wore. The magazines often contain descriptions of what ladies wore to major events, such as Drawing Rooms. Fashion seems to have played a larger role then than today, since seeing and being seen was mainly what upper class ladies did, and since they were not at all shy about displaying their wealth. Then as now, fashion wasn't necessarily about comfort. Indeed, the 19th C fashion magazines comment on this fact from time to time.LorettaChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641586650738945106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-31919977845658994742012-03-06T07:38:31.145-05:002012-03-06T07:38:31.145-05:00The coat outfit at least looks as though it would ...The coat outfit at least looks as though it would be warm. The bare neck and shoulders of the evening dresses make me shiver. That is where I usually feel the draught. I wonder how many ladie s followed these fashions or if they weren't more like the fashions in some of our tonier magazines and only worn by those who considered themselves leaders of fashion. Fashion is a subject that completely mystifies me. I can;t understand it at all, at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
