Fashion throughout the years
On the last years fashion has changed in many ways. Well, fashion has been around for many years. In the 1795- 1820 fashion existed, but only in Europe. On those years the style was inspired in Empire silhouette. The dresses were falling loosely below, and closely fitted to the torso just under the bust. In 1830 the dresses were large sleeves, above large full conical skirts, ideally with a narrow, low waist between achieved through corseting. The dresses for the 1840 were long, long sleeves, and their waists became low and pointy. In the 1850 the same style for the 40s continued. By 1860s the skirt was uses, they had a bell shape form. The fullness in the skirt had moved to the rear, where elaborate draping was held in place by tapes and supported by a bustle. That was the 1870s fashion. By the 1880s they remained using the skirt, but, with fullness gradually rising from behind the knees to just below the waist. By 1890s there were some extravagances, there was a mix of the 50s, 70s, and 80s styles. The 1900s fashion was very similar as the 1830s fashion. In 1910, there was a rich and exotic touch on the dresses. The modern era was enter in the 1920s. By 1930 – 1945 there were butterfly sleeves and banjo sleeves, and exaggerated shoulder pads. In 1950 -1960 the petticoats were the latest in the fashion world. The hippie style was entering the 70s. By 80s the fashion was looser shirts and tight pants. In the 1990s there were many styles like Hip Hop, Body Piercing, Skater Style, Sagging, Mod Revival, Seventies Revival, Punk/Goth, Nineties Preppy and Dockers and Cargo pants.
