Fashion has been in existence in America since the first Pilgrim women arrived in the 1600s. What determined fashion is as varied as the fashions themselves. Mores, religion, government, politics, laws, wars, economics, and practicality all played significant roles in deciding what we women should wear. By way of a PowerPoint that includes videos of fashions from the colonial period up through today's fashions, you will witness the ultimate fashion show. From watching how many layers of clothing women had to wear hundred's of years ago, to actual fashion shows from 1917 on up, you will witness what we women have had to put up with and all in the name of fashion.
