Silk Routes Symposium Class: Mantua Makers and the Rise of the Female Dressmaker
When thinking of 18th-century clothing, images immediately come to mind of opulent silk gowns worn over panniers, heavily trimmed and embroidered. Such gowns were the work of female seamstresses, who for the first time in European History were legally working in guild structures. This class will explore the 17th century origins of such gowns, and how their widespread adoption assisted the rise of female dressmakers.
This is by no means a complete discussion of any or all of the topics covered (dressing gowns in the 17th and 18th century, for example, were not solely inspired by Kimonos, but also drew on garments worn in Turkey, India, and China, for instance), but hopes to inspire more thought into how European fashionable dress was inspired by the rest of the world.
For more information on Kimono, see Erika's Silk Routes video: Intro to Kimono. • Introduction to Kimono...
