  8. Health Problems • Constricted breathing • Sunstroke – too many layers for the intense heat • Infertility • Warped rib cage and organs • Fainting • Ruined the skin due to intense compression

  9. SwIm • Women were required to wear conservative clothes ALL the time, as shown with the dresses and pants used for swim, although men were also dressed covering clothing.

  10. Upper Class • Upper class people would wear more expensive fabrics, such as silk. • Women had their corsets much more tightly laced than women of other classes • Women’s dresses were much more appliquéd and detailed.

  11. Middle- Lower Class • Middle class- Lower class people in this time period would’ve been fueling the industrial revolution. • This meant looser corsets for working, and less “fashionable” clothing as this was a working class.

  12. Colors in Acting The stock characters, while wearing the clothing of the time period, would’ve worn exaggerated colors or accessories

  13. Colors in Acting • For example, the villain would’ve dressed mainly in black or red, colors that provoke violence and show the audience their sinister nature.

  14. Colors in Acting • The Heroine would wear light colors, such as white or pink, along with a very tightly laced corset to show innocence and because a virtuous girl would’ve been attractive at the time
