Activity
After watching my presentation on your organizer create either a upper class, middle class, lower class person. Compare yours to the pictures that i showed you. Do you think you would wear it?
What would queens and princesses wear?
Gown
Upper class girls would wear this when they went to bed. Also under there dresses.
Corsets
These would make a girls "form" straighter. They would make it so tight, that sometimes they could not eat, and sometimes... passed out.
Ruffs
Women wore these often, while being apart of the "upper class crowed."
Shoes
There was a big variety of shoes for the upper class.
Hats
People that were wealthy would wear hats to make them look more appealing and/or because they wanted to show how wealthy they were.
Underclothing
For girls under there dresses they wore underclothing so they can make there dress very "poofy".
What would kings and princes wear?
Doublets
Doublets would be worn over clothing like a jacket.
Breeches
Breeches were worn when men would go horse riding.
Collars and ruffs
Wealthy men would wear this to show how wealthy they were.
Hats
Men would wear hats because they had a clothing law and hats was one of the few things they wore.
Shoes
Men wore only a couple types of shoes. They had a dress code so they had to wear dress shoes.

Lower Class Man
Lower Class Women
Dress Law
People in the Elizabethan Era had a dress code, so they did not have choice of everything they wore... (That's what you get when you have a Queen!)
