DRESSES
A dress (also known as a frock or a gown) is a garment 
traditionally worn by women or girls consisting of a skirt 
with an attached bodice (or a matching bodice giving the 
effect of a one-piece garment).[1] It consists of a top piece 
that covers the torso and hangs down over the legs. A dress 
can be any one-piece garment containing a skirt of any 
length, and can be formal or casual.
Various examples of dresses
A dress can have sleeves, straps, or be held up with elastic 
around the chest, leaving the shoulders bare. Dresses also 
vary in color.
The hemlines of dresses vary depending on modesty, 
weather, fashion or the personal taste of the wearer.

SKIRTS
At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment made out of 
a single piece of fabric (such as pareos). However, most skirts 
are fitted to the body at the waist or hips and fuller below, 
with the fullness introduced by means of darts, gores, pleats, 
or panels. Modern skirts are usually made of light to mid-
weight fabrics, such as denim, jersey, worsted, or poplin. 
Skirts of thin or clingy fabrics are often worn with slips to 
make the material of the skirt drape better and for modesty.
In modern times, skirts are typically worn by women. Some 
exceptions include the izaar, worn by many Muslim cultures, 
and the kilt, a traditional men's garment in Scotland, Ireland, 
and sometimes England. Fashion designers such as Jean Paul 
Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs have 
also shown men's skirts. Transgressing social codes, Gaultier 
frequently introduces the skirt into his men's wear 
collections as a means of injecting novelty into male attire, 
most famously the sarong seen on David Beckham.[2]SKIRTS
HISTORY
11th century Edit
In the 11th century, women in Europe wore dresses that were similar 
to men's tunics and were loose, with a hemline reaching to below the 
knees or lower.[8] By the end of the century, these dresses featured a 
tighter fit on the arms and women's upper bodies.[8] Dresses were 
made snug by featuring slits on the sides of the dress that were pulled 
tight in order to fit a woman's figure.[9]
16th century Edit
Starting in the 1550s, middle- and upper-class women in Europe wore 
dresses which included a smock, stays, kirtle, gown, forepart, sleeves, 
ruff and a partlet.[5] Undergarments were not worn underneath.[5] In 
England, Queen Elizabeth dictated what kinds of dresses women were 
allowed to wear.[10] French women were inspired by Spanish-style 
bodices and also wore ruffs.[10] French dresses were known as 
marlottes.[11] In Italy, dresses were known as ropa and semarra.[11] 
Dresses in the 16th century also displayed surface decoration such as 
embroidery, with blackwork being especially popular.[12]
Women's dresses in Russia during both the 16th and 17th centuries 
identified a woman's place in society or their family.HISTORY
OVERVIEW
Dresses are outer garments made up of a bodice and 
a skirt and can be made in one or more pieces.[3][4] 
Dresses are generally suitable for both formal wear 
and casual wear in the West for women and girls.[4]
Historically, dresses could also include other items of 
clothing such as corsets, kirtles, partlets, petticoats, 
smocks, and stomachers.OVERVIEW
