Women's Fashion
Women's Clothing in the late 1500's, fashion had become extremely impotant to show status of court. One of the most important pieces of clothing to show this is the hat. The taller hat you have on, the more impotant you are.As gifts to highly placed courtiers, rich materials, ruffs, jeweled sleeves, and gloves, were given to them. Sometimes they were even a bribe
Men's Clothing never wanted to be outdone by the ladies so the legs of the men their were covered in hose and meant to be admired. Also, a garder was placed just below the knee so the shape of the calf muscle could be shown. To show off a slim waist, breeches could be worn and to achieve fullness, the breeches were filled with either bran of horse hair.
Childrens Fashion
Children wore the same things as there parents but in smaller form. Childrens clothes were also much simpler. The parents rationed there money for their childs clothes because they just grow out of them. Unless they were of higher class and had lots of money. Boys wore long skirts and they were undistinguishable from girls until they were about six and started getting into the short pants. But from six on they wore the same things as there parents
