1830s fashion in Western and Western-influenced fashion is characterized by an emphasis on ''breadth'', initially at the shoulder and later in the hips, in contrast to the narrower silhouettes that had predominated between 1800-1820. Women's costume featured larger sleeves than were worn in any period before or since, which were accompanied by elaborate hairstyles and large hats. The final months of the 1830s saw the proliferation of a revolutionary new technology—photography. Hence, the infant industry of photographic portraiture preserved for history a few rare, but invaluable, first images of human beings—and therefore also preserved our earliest, live peek into "fashion in action"—and its impact on everyday life and society as a whole. ==General trends== The prevalent trend of Romanticism from the 1820s through the mid-1840s, with its emphasis on strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience and its recognition of the picturesque, was reflected in fashion as in other arts. Items of historical dress including neck ruffs, ''ferronnières'' (jeweled headbands worn across the forehead), and sleeves based on styles of earlier periods were popular.〔Tortora and Eubank 1994, p. 275〕 Innovations in roller printing on textiles introduced new dress fabrics. Rich colors such as the Turkey red of the 1820s were still found,〔Tozer and Levitt 1983, p. 29〕 but delicate floral prints on light backgrounds were increasingly popular. More precise printing eliminated the need for dark outlines on printed designs, and new green dyes appeared in patterns of grasses, ferns, and unusual florals. Combinations of florals and stripes were fashionable.〔Tozer and Levitt 1983, p. 33〕 Overall, both men's and women's fashion showed width at the shoulder above a tiny waist. Men's coats were padded in the shoulders and across the chest, while women's shoulders sloped to huge sleeves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1830s in Western fashion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
