Supplemental Vocabulary List

rev. August 14, 2010

Definitions, illustrations and compare/contrast.

Each of these terms needs a definition (cited, of course) and illustration of the original usage. Then it needs an updated definition (if applicable) and contemporary illustration(s) to explain the transition from the past to the present and specific to generic use (or perhaps generic to specific). Finally, find a modern garment/accessory/decoration that illustrates the occurrence of each of these historical elements in the modern world as an homage or point of reference. Be sure to keep the various elements in each category as discreet from one another as possible. 

Please submt in an organized way, by category.

• Garments (coats) for men: claw hammer, cutaway, frock, Prince Albert, sport, suit, tails, three-piece, two-piece, tuxedo, etc.*
• Hats for women: bonnet, calash, cloche, leghorn, poke, slat, etc.*
• Hats for men: bowler, boater, cowboy, derby, fedora, Panama, skimmer, stetson, ten gallon, etc.*
• Garments for women: dress, frock, gown, two-piece, etc.*
• Foundations: pair of bodys, corset, corselette, girdle, waist cincher, waspie, etc.*
• Outer layers: cape, cloak, mantle, shawl, stole, etc.*

Etc.* means that you need to add one additional term to each list which comports with it.
