History of Clothing

History of Clothing:

  • In ancient Egypt, flax and cotton plants were cultivated near the River Nile and were used for making fabric. Early humans used to wear large leaves, animal skins and fur as clothes to wrap around their bodies to keep themselves warm during winters. When people began to settle in agricultural communities, people learnt to weave twigs and grass into mats etc.
  • As people settled down and started farming, they learned to weave vines and animal fleece to make fabrics. In the next stage of civilisation, flax and cotton were woven into garments. In those times, people just draped the fabric to cover themselves. It was only after the invention of the sewing needle that people started stitching their garments. Even today, in older cultures like India, you see people wearing unstitched garments like turbans, saris and dhotis.
