DRESSES

• A dress (also known as a frock or a gown) is a
  garment traditionally worn by women or girls
  consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice (or
  a matching bodice giving the effect of a
  one-piece garment).1 It consists of a top piece
  that covers the torso and hangs down over the
  legs. A dress can be any one-piece garment
  containing a skirt of any length, and can be
  formal or casual.
• Various examples of dresses
• A dress can have sleeves, straps, or be held up
  with elastic around the chest, leaving the
  shoulders bare. Dresses also vary in color.
• The hemlines of dresses vary depending on
  modesty, weather, fashion or the personal taste
  of the wearer.2DRESSES

SKIRTS

• At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment
  made out of a single piece of fabric (such as
  pareos). However, most skirts are fitted to the
  body at the waist or hips and fuller below, with
  the fullness introduced by means of darts, gores,
  pleats, or panels. Modern skirts are usually made
  of light to mid-weight fabrics, such as denim,
  jersey, worsted, or poplin. Skirts of thin or
  clingy fabrics are often worn with slips to make
  the material of the skirt drape better and for
  modesty.
• In modern times, skirts are typically worn by
  women. Some exceptions include the izaar, worn by
  many Muslim cultures, and the kilt, a traditional
  men's garment in Scotland, Ireland, and sometimes
  England. Fashion designers such as Jean Paul
  Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Kenzo and Marc
  Jacobs have also shown men's skirts.
  Transgressing social codes, Gaultier frequently
  introduces the skirt into his men's wear
  collections as a means of injecting novelty into
  male attire, most famously the sarong seen on
  David Beckham.2SKIRTS

HISTORY

• 11th century Edit
• In the 11th century, women in Europe wore dresses
  that were similar to men's tunics and were loose,
  with a hemline reaching to below the knees or
  lower.8 By the end of the century, these
  dresses featured a tighter fit on the arms and
  women's upper bodies.8 Dresses were made snug
  by featuring slits on the sides of the dress that
  were pulled tight in order to fit a woman's
  figure.9
• 16th century Edit
• Starting in the 1550s, middle- and upper-class
  women in Europe wore dresses which included a
  smock, stays, kirtle, gown, forepart, sleeves,
  ruff and a partlet.5 Undergarments were not
  worn underneath.5 In England, Queen Elizabeth
  dictated what kinds of dresses women were allowed
  to wear.10 French women were inspired by
  Spanish-style bodices and also wore ruffs.10
  French dresses were known as marlottes.11 In
  Italy, dresses were known as ropa and
  semarra.11 Dresses in the 16th century also
  displayed surface decoration such as embroidery,
  with blackwork being especially popular.12
• Women's dresses in Russia during both the 16th
  and 17th centuries identified a woman's place in
  society or their family.HISTORY
