Robes: Fashion From Ancient Times To Modern Times

Speaking of the origin of the robe, there is no doubt that we will associate with the ancient Rome and the ancient Greek Empire.

At that time, the trend of wearing robes was not only permeated throughout Africa, but also in the areas where they ruled the ancient Germans, and the Greeks and Romans wore their robes as their main costumes.

At first, the production of the tunica robe was just as simple as being cut off. The stitching of the two ends of the two cloth ends was completed.

Gradually, the production of duneca changed: with the sleeves, the skirt was slightly longer, and the whole became more refined.

Some gowns are also provided with belts for decoration.

There are two types of robes: one is a gown made for soldiers, and the other is a gown for the general public.

Of course, the military robe is unique, it symbolizes the privilege of men.

Generally speaking, it is shorter than folk robes, but never exposing thighs.

At that time, the popular robes were called "lining" at the beginning and could only be used as household clothes.

Over time, more and more people began to praise the advantages of this dress: women wearing long skirts to ankles in the streets, can fully show the feminine characteristics: slender legs, bright red ribbons, exquisite embroidery.

It is worth mentioning that the gowns were only worn by aristocrats at that time, which clearly showed the noble status of the gowns.

The robe worn by young and lowly girls can only extend to the knees.

The same special meaning also includes the color of the robe: the white or light colored robe represents the slaves and the poor; the dark robes represent the outstanding figures in the military and political circles.

The robe of the clergy is specially made, and the color is very special.

Gradual change of robes

After the demise of ancient Rome and the rise of the Byzantine Empire, the robes also began to change. More robes of various materials appeared (to know that most of the ancient Rome robes were made of wool and linen), and their styles were more diverse and fashionable.

The Byzantine invented a new style: a long robe is embedded in another loose robe, the bottom is sleeves, and the top is slightly wider.

After the Byzantine Empire conquered Arabia, a large number of Oriental patterns began to blend into the robes.

With rich Oriental embroidery, jewelry has become a new element in gowns.

Later, wearing a long robe became a popular trend in the East, but Europeans threw it away.

Until eighteenth Century, there was a fashion revival, but this dress was not widely used.
