9.6.1.1 Design of the fabric The shape of the yoke should go along with the fabric design. For fabric designs such as large checks or stripes, yokes with round or curved shapes are not well suited. Instead, straight line yokes are more appropriate. Floral designs or curved line fabric will go in harmony with round or curved yoke (Mehta 1992). 9.6.1.2 Design of the garment The design of the garment also influences the design of the yoke. It is preferable to design yokes which are similar in shape to the design details of the dress like collar, cuff, pockets etc. but with slight variations to avoid a monotonous display. 9.6.1.3 Purpose and use of the garment Yokes find best utility in school uniforms and home-wear apparels.

    671 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout history different events have occurred that were considered immoral or inhuman, yet, the people committing to these activities were unaware of the situation itself and in their minds, were justified in their actions. This is also true when discussing slavery; pro-slavists defend slavery, arguing that slavery has existed since the pre-biblical era and it was the nature of mankind to have this hierarchy organize the modern world. Historical, pro-slavists argue that slavery has always existed additionally, they argue that slavery was God-ordained and therefore natural. Initially, historical justification is defined as always existing which in this case is true dating back to the “ancient republics of Greece and Rome and the great European empires” described by Foner (Foner, 406).

    There is subtle shaping in the angled side of the front piece. 5 the middle of the eighteenth century, corsets became even less suited to the female form and started to look even more masculine. Just like the green ribbon corset, these garments began to take on a rounded form across the front through the addition of a permanently shaped, curved piece of whale-bone placed horizontally across the breast area (Figures 1-2). However, because the horizontal whalebones laid on top of vertical boning were unyielding, these corsets were even more linear and angular, and therefore masculine in form.

    However, this fashion was also copied by men who wore the tight-waisted, stiffened doublets to obtain a slimmer look. Because of the limitations of dress and clothing provided by the Sumptuary Laws, a new fashion called slashing was invented; it was used by both men and women. The slash, or cut, in the outer surface of garments (doublets, sleeves, and gowns) exposed the contrasting color of the lining beneath. Then, the linings would be pulled through the slash and puffed out to further emphasize the contrast of colors, fabrics, and materials.
