Elizabethans are not aloud to wear cloths they like their clothing and items of apparel are dictated by the Elizabethan Sumptuary Laws that govern the style and materials worn. Clothing with gold or gold tissue can be worn by the Queen or family members and cannot be worn by Viscountesses, baronesses and other personages. The upper class women are very ambitious and push their husbands to gain titles and high ranks. The upper class nobles wear a variety of expensive clothing made of velvets, satin, furs, silks, lace, and cottons. These cloths provide information about the status of the person wearing them. This is not just dictated by the wealth of the person, it also reflected their social standing.

Very nice layout, it was very straightforward and easy to read. I would suggest making a couple of shorter paragraphs rather than one large one, to keep the audience intrigued. But overall very organized!

ReplyDeleteYour organization was supreme and I enjoyed the use of links and visuals! I also was quite intrigued that certain classes were only allowed to wear certain clothes, I myself and a server to the prince himself and my clothing is not very elaborate i'll tell you that.. What kind of clothes do a priest wear? Do the same rules apply?

Nice job with your layout and information! There are a few spelling mistakes that you should consider revising. We were wondering what colours were commonly used for people with similar social status as Conrade and I? Haply they would wear dark, "menacing" colours. Were priests such as yourself allowed to wear livery with gold material, or is that reserved solely for royalty?
