巴洛克风格

    巴洛克鼎盛时期富丽堂皇的凡尔赛宫起着引领时尚作用。按照法国当时的法令，宫廷里的人必须穿着最新款式。有关最新穿着方式的信息通过当时最初的杂志和通过穿着最新款式的男女时装娃娃广泛传播。由此服装变换比以往任何时期都来得更快。巴洛克时期的法国服装非常精美奢华。男装有些过分华美甚至过多的女忭化，常采用花缎、天鹅绒和锦缎等华贵面料，并带有人量镶嵌线和刺绣。带有刺绣或花边修饰的衬衫从胸部和腰部突出。从开缝的袖子可见装饰华美的衬衫，在宽人袖U的下面可见层叠花边。1670年前后流行一种及膝长的合体外衣，采用锦缎面料，镶有金银线，钉有金属纽扣。外衣里面是相同裁剪但稍短‘些的马甲。女装上衣在荷兰风格时期曾宽松舒适，但到法国风格到来之时再次勒紧。紧身的胸衣前下摆与腰裙相连。拖尾外裙采用与上衣相同的面料。外裙从前面打开，分别从两侧向后面折，最后在臀垫处蓬起形成法式裙裾。展露㈩的里裙采用滚边、滚条、花边、缎带及刺绣等方式装饰。

Baroque style

The splendid court at Versailles had a leading role during high Baroque period. The people of the courts had to be dressed in the latest fashion according to the French dic- tate. News of the latest way of dressing was spread by the first fashion magazines, and by fashion dolls, dressed according to the latest ladies fashion and "men's fashion" Fashion was changing faster than ever before. The France fashion of Baroque was very elegant and luxurious. Men's clothing was even extravagant and more feminine. Heavy fabric such as damask, velvet and brocade were preferred and garments were lavishly trimmed and embroidered. The shirt which was embroidered or decorated with lace bulged out the chest and waist. The open seams of sleeves allowed the richly decorated shirt to be seen. The lavish lace cuffs were visible under the broad cuffs of the sleeves.
The knee length, tight fitting outer coat came into fashion around 1670. It was made out of brocade and decorated with gold or silver braids and metal buttons. The vest worn underneath was a little shorter and had the same cut. Women's bodice had a comfort- able width when fashion was led from the Netherlands. With the arrival of French fashion,the waist was once more tightly laced. The reinforced stomacher was held together at the front over a tucker. The long trailing outer skirt was made of the same material as the
bodice. The skirt was open at the front and the edges were folded over and pulled back and were puffed out over seat padding into French tail. The visible underskirt was made decorated with e. g. braid, cord, lace, ribbons, and embroidery.
