During the Renaissance, wealthy and wealthier members of a city, town or region often wore elaborate and beautifully decorated Renaissance costumes made from a variety of rich and expensive fabrics and finishes. In fact, the richer a family is, the more expensive their Renaissance costumes are, as this is one of the main ways of expressing figure and wealth during the Renaissance [from the seventeenth century to the mid-17th century].
Interestingly, the ruling class's Renaissance clothing is not only seen as an indication of wealth, but also as a form of investment because of the few opportunities for financial investment. If a family needs money in the future, then the dress can be resold. The fabrics that HNWIs and their designers favored during the Renaissance were the most difficult fabrics to produce and therefore the most expensive and unique fabric. Includes cotton, velvet, silk and brocade. At the time, these were labor intensive and/or far from Western Europe, such as cotton used in Egypt. The Renaissance costumes of the day were also embroidered with ribbons, seed pearls and rich finishes such as gold/silver threads.
During this period, Renaissance women's clothing flowed from simple clothes [such as petticoats and corsets] to more complex clothes, including skirts, petticoats, corsets, over-tights, hoops and blouses. collar. On the other hand, men's Renaissance clothing is often designed to highlight the shape of the body, giving them a more rounded appearance [along the barrel line]. Their Renaissance costumes are made from the same rich colors and fabrics, usually including padded shoulders and breeches, as well as hats, embellished with the same embroidery and fancy finishes, completeing Renaissance women's clothing.
