• Maternity Clothes, Past And Present
  By:-Adriana Noton
  Maternity clothes are a fairly recent fashion development. Up until the 1400s, women's dresses were not fitted, so expectant mothers just wore what they had. If necessary, they would let the seams out to accommodate their pregnancy. The wealthy sometimes had a special dress or two made for the occasion, but the average woman did not. The first dress on record designed for pregnancy was made in the 1600s, a voluminous gown that concealed as well as expanded. By the 20th century, however, special clothing for expectant mothers began to achieve popularity. Still, it was far from cutting-edge couture, since clothing manufacturers did not believe that women would be willing to pay very much for garments that would be worn for so short a time. As the century progressed, expectant mothers were often employed until late in their pregnancy. Fashions changed, and more options became available.

• Traditional Dresses Of The Asian Culture
  By:-Bryan Howard
  The fascinating culture and exotic location of Asia has captured hearts and enthralled people to visit and for most, live in Asia. As interesting and mysterious as their lifestyle, nation and culture, the people in Asia are represented by various types of costume which represent their each uniqueness and individuality, with a distinct touch of their respective country and inheritance. The Asian dress, a symbol of eastern culture of traditionalism, distinctiveness and eastern knowledge and mystery, it is devoid of any commercialism and exudes and aura of strength and power. It belies the essence of human triumph in a continent full of conflict and drama. The Asian dress is characterized by its simplicity but designed with subtle elegance and unique patterns, minus the chaotic grandiose of layers of lace and fluffiness associated with the European royal courts and traditional costumed. Its lines are sleek and are made with fabrics of silk or cotton for daily practicability and use. It is usually floor-length and has long sleeves which impart the culture of conservatism and traditionalism. Influenced mainly by the Chinese fashions, similarities can be found with each Asian dress with their design and form even with the distinct design from each nation. For instance, the Chinese dress of China and the Vietnamese dress of Vietnam have similarities with the Long-sleeved, high-collared necklines and side-slits worn over long skirts or trousers or cotton pants whether loosely worn or tied at the ankles. Each may have different distinctions in their design, style, material and colors but both types of costumes clearly show that one way it is influenced by another country which is close in region or through conquests of their nation in ancient times. The Korean dress of Korea and Japanese dress of Japan are differentiated by the structure and design of their costumes. The Korean dress is composed of a loose, long-sleeved jacket-like blouse tied just below the breast-line while the Japanese dress is a loose, long-sleeved dress tied at the waist with a long, wide sash called the Japanese sash. The Korean dress may be full-skirted or not, while the Japanese dress is more of like a straight dress, with only the Japanese sash tied at the waist which emphasized the curves of the Japanese woman’s body. But both are v-necked in design, belted at the waist-line and are created with colorful designs with matching head dresses or long pins for their hair. Layered with silk or cotton for comfort and protection from the weather, but both are elegant yet simple in nature, fit for the fair-skinned, gentle and powerful people of the northern part of Asia. The Asian dress is a magnificent tapestry depicting the colorful history of the Asian People. Each is distinctly unique but their designs and patterns are binding factors which embrace their individualities as one of the greatest and powerful people in the eastern part of the world.
