Now we will be looking at Renaissance Era Clothing.

Here is a painting called Madonna and Child by Italian artist Filippino Lippi from 1483–84 A.D.. It shows women clothing from Renaissance, women would wear gowns, with a a rich undergown, usually had a slightly lifted waistline, a train that was quite full, a deep V-shaped neck often outlined in ermine or other fur (here she has it undone), and sleeves that were usually long, narrow, and finished with a fur cuff.

Here is a paint of Lucas van Uffel (died 1637) from 1622, by Anthony van Dyck. It show what men would wear during the Renaissance, men with squared width shoulders, with Puffing and slashing decoration on the top layer of clothes and sleeves were cut or open-seamed so the lining fabric could be seen. Clothing was made to match a customer’s requests by tailors. Clothing became very fancy and considered an investment.

Here is a piece of needle lace Flounce from the 17th century. This shows the extreme high level of technical precision. Typical of the period is the repeating pattern of vases with symmetrical, stylized floral forms and scrolling stems. The design was emphasized by the use of a thicker thread to create a slightly raised outline around the vases and stems. Lace like this would be apart of edges of linens and details on garments.
