Elizabethan Era Fashion

   


Women in the Elizabethan Era could not wear what they wanted. No matter how rich they were or who they were, the English law forbid it. They were called Sumptuary Laws and they were used to maintain social structure in the class systems of the Elizabethan Era. They fabrics and colors they wore were determined by their position and rank.

They definitely wear more clothes then, than women do now.

Theme Illustrations

\








    My pictures describe the theme jealousy. The first picture with the three little girls represents jealousy because the little girl in the front is upset that the other two girls are friends and sharing flowers but not with her. In the second picture with the little boy and the two little girls, the little girl on the far right is the jealous one. She does not like that he's kissing the other little girl and not her. In the third picture, the girl with the red hair in the background is jealous of the girl with the brown hair because the boy is with her helping her. In the fourth picture, the girl with the blonde hair is giving the girl with the bangs a dirty look, so she must be jealous of her because of whoever she is talking to. In the last picture, the girl in the yellow shirt is obviously jealous of the couple in the background due to her obvious facial expression.

I used the same first picture you used. Other than that I think the pictures you chose went well with your theme.
