EVOLUTION OF
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
COSTUMES
FADP CLASS
18BCD04 PRESENTATION
Introduction
▪The study of the history of clothing and textiles traces the development, use, and availability
of clothing and textiles over human history. Clothing and textiles reflect the materials and
technologies available in different civilizations at different times. The variety and distribution
of clothing and textiles within a society reveal social customs and culture.
▪The wearing of clothing is exclusively a human characteristic and is a feature of most human
societies, though it is not known exactly when various peoples began wearing clothes.
Anthropologists believe that animal skins and vegetation were adapted into coverings as
protection from cold, heat and rain, especially as humans migrated to new climates.
The Stone Age
PALEOLITHIC
AGE
▪Clothing was made primarily from the fur of the animals that had been killed for food.
▪The climate during the time was cold, so people dressed to stay warm.
NEOLITHIC AGE
▪People still used mostly animal skins for clothing.
▪In some places people were able to make fabric from the wool of their sheep
Needle Binding
The first actual textile, as opposed to skins sewn

together, was probably felt.
Surviving examples of Nalebinding, another early textile method, date from 6500 BC.
This technique was also known as “Knotless knitting” or “knotless netting” in English.
It is distinct from crochet and knitting in terms of the techniques implemented.
Ancient Clothing
ANCIENT
INDIA
Historians and archaeologists have managed to piece together
some bits of information from clues found in sculptures and figurines.
Terracotta figurines uncovered at Mehrgarh show a male figure wearing
what is commonly interpreted to be a turban; female figurines depict
women with elaborate headdress and intricate hairstyles.
ANCIENT
EGYPT
Evidence exists for production of linen cloth in Ancient Egypt in the
Neolithic period, c. 5500 BC. Cultivation of domesticated wild flax is
documented as early as c. 6000 BC.
Evidence for wool production in Egypt is scanty at this period.
Spinning techniques included the drop spindle, hand-to-hand spinning etc.
Art depicts Egyptian men wearing linen kilts and women in narrow
dresses
with various forms of shirts and jackets, often of sheer pleated fabric.
Medieval Clothing
BYZANTIU
M
The Byzantines made and exported very richly patterned cloth, woven and embroidered
for the upper classes, and resist-dyed and printed for the lower. By Justinian's time the
Roman toga had been replaced by the tunica, or long chiton, for both sexes, over which
the upper classes wore various other garments, short and long cloaks were fastened on the
right shoulder.
Leggings and hose were often worn, but are not prominent in depictions of the wealthy;
they were associated with barbarians, whether European or Persian.
EARLY EDIEVAL
EUROPE
European dress changed gradually in the years 400 to 1100.
Men of the invading peoples generally wore short tunics, with belts, and visible trousers,
hose or leggings. The Romanized populations, and the Church, remained faithful to the longer
tunics of Roman formal costume.
The elite imported silk cloth from the Byzantine, and also probably cotton.
Renaissance and Early Modern
RENAISSANCE
EUROPE
Wool fabrics were dyed in rich colors, notably reds, greens, golds, and blues.
Silk-weaving was well established around the Mediterranean by the beginning of the
15th century, and figured silks, often silk velvets with silver-gilt wefts, are
increasingly
seen in Italian dress and in the dress of the wealthy throughout Europe.
MUGHAL
INDIA India (16th to 18th centuries) was the most important center of manufacturing in
Mughal
international trade up until the 18th century. The cotton textile industry was responsible
for a large part of India's international trade. In early modern Europe, there was significant
demand for textiles from Mughal India, including cotton textiles and silk products.
Mughal women wore long loose jamas with full sleeves and in winters it was accompanied
a Kashmir shawl used as a coat. Women were very fond of their perfumes and scents.
Jewellery in the Mughal tradition signified not only religious values but also style
statements.
Colonial Period
▪During the 18th century, distinction was made between full dress worn at Court and for formal
occasions, and undress or everyday, daytime clothes. Full dress followed the styles of the
French
court, where rich silks and elaborate embroidery reigned.
▪Men continued to wear the coat, waistcoat and breeches for both full dress and
undress; these were now sometimes made of the same fabric and trim, signaling the birth
of the three-piece suit.
▪Women's silhouettes featured small, domed hoops in the 1730s and early 1740s.
For women's dresses, Indian cottons, especially printed chintzes, were imported to Europe in
large numbers, and towards the end of the period simple white muslin dresses were in fashion.
st
21 CENTURY CLOTHING
21st Century clothing is all about expressing one’s self. The clothing of the modern times
is eccentric and makes a statement. Clothing and the accessories worn by women, men
and children shows their upbringing and it is all about expressing their inner self.
Men's clothing includes a combination of khaki pants, denims, trousers, suit jacket,
a nice shirt paired with sneakers, shoes, loafers, sandals etc.
Women’s clothing includes denims, a nice knit top, khaki pants, skinny jeans, a flowy
top
paired with sandals, heels, wedges, slip-ons etc. Accessories of this year is all bling.
They
are all big and chunky and out there to make a statement.
Conclusion
Clothing changes greatly every generation like anything else in the world. It only keeps
getting better. Clothing went from very little like animal skins, to a big variety of materials
and different styles. Clothing describes who you are. You can create any style you want to
your liking. Clothing is an expression of who you truly are. Clothing is a part of our daily
life
and always will be.
