Description
The first quarter of the nineteenth century saw the evolution of how women in England thought of fashion and the effect it had on their social and economic status. Poor and working-class women were passed over for higher-paying opportunities due to their clothes' misalignment with the major fashion trends of the day. The study of the development of social conditions and the change in clothing and designs contributes to an understanding of why those in the lower class were denied mobility in their status.
