Historical Draped/Tailored Garments

Draped Graments from Greece, India, and Africa (Circa Ancient Greek-20th Century)
Draped garments were created using large pieces of fabric and draped around the body. This fashion style is used in warmer regions of the world because the draped fabric allows for air to circulate better around the body. Greece, India, and Africa are very warm climate regions, and this style/silhouette is typical in these countries.



Tailored Garments from Europe and America (Circa 19th and 20th century)
Tailored garments consist of clothes that are made to fit the body using pattern pieces and cut fabric sewn together. Europe and America are countries where this style is predominant due to the colder climates and versatility of the garments.
