4. Sample Post - BLOOMERS..

One theme of my interest is about history of women’s pants. This event in the fashion history caused inconveniences for the thought of that time.  This was very advanced for that time .

The first attempt to change was in 1851 , with Amelia Bloomer , an important  feminist activist . She in addition to this, make the firs newspaper for women , and she took advantage to this for promote it.

The model of  bloomer was like an balloon , was like an skirt pants , very wider , and more comfortable  that the clothes of this time . In this time the Victorian`s dress was fashionable. 

When some women started to used , was  ridiculed, because , never  been seen before  . Generally the women that used was women that had an feminist thought.. .

So , when this happened this stopped using this.

In 1890 it come back , with the birth of the bicycle . And  now  it wasn't criticized like before . It was  good looking . The women  used this for made sports . The model of course that change , now was more  small , and had more  designs to choice.

well. that's a very general vision , and summary.

  3. jajajaja this reminds me that i like to learn how to make a "Kilt" (scottish men skirts)!. In several places, the kilt its being used again as a male fashion item, because of its originality, style and comfort. Its curious! Clothes traditionally ment to be for the use of a determined gender suddently (and because of social changes) becomes an "unisex" item. Now its absolutely normal seen a woman in pants, of course....but a man in skirt?? its still a little odd, but (believet or not) its getting more and more common in other countries.
