Introduction of New Materials in Clothing

New Times: Many changes were made possible in Britain due to the introduction of new materials and technologies. Other changes came about because of the two World Wars and the new working conditions for women.

Introduction of New Materials:

  • Before the 17th century, most of the ordinary women in Britain possessed very few clothes made of flax, linen or wool, which were difficult to clean. After 1600, trade with India brought cheap, beautiful, easy to maintain Indian chintzes within the reach of Europeans.
  • During the Industrial Revolution, cotton clothes, became more accessible to a wider section of people.
  • By the early 20th century, artificial fibers appeared. They were clothes made of cheaper and easier to wash and maintain. Of the late 1870s, heavy, restrictive underclothes were no longer in use. Clothes got lighter, shorter and simpler.
