Splitting the article discussion[edit]

I think splitting this article would be a great way of improving it and making it more accurate. Fashion in the 1780s foward is so different from that of the 1750s that having it all in one article makes it a bit confusing. I propose splitting into 1750-1780 and 1780-1795. Anyone with me?

YES! We would like to make this change too.Arauser (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a great idea too. However I'd suggest 1750-1775 and 1775-1795 myself, but I see how round numbers are easier. (although this does end with 1795). I say 1775 because that is roughly when the polonaises/draping of skirts really began to take hold and clothing really began to evolve. Mabalu (talk) 09:46, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. - PKM (talk) 05:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I propose to split the article into 1750-1775 and 1775-1795, likely this weekend if that works for everyone. - PKM (talk) 01:36, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A bit late, but I have to say this doesn't work well for France, where 1790 would make much more sense. Johnbod (talk) 20:39, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily - 1795 is after the excesses of the Revolution, so either just before (1789) or just after (1795 makes a logical break, and in this situation, IMO, 1795 works well. There is always going to be some overlap with these date breaks, and there's always leeway to go back a few years or forward a few years with the dates given for contextualisation. Mabalu (talk) 07:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In fashion terms, 1795 is just when Directoire style really gets going, pulling the Revolutionary trends together, whereas not much had developed by the end of 1789. 1790 would also work much better in terms of other trends - male wigs, neoclassicism in female styles, & so on. In the next period 1815 would probably make a better break point than 1820 too. Johnbod (talk) 13:01, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

This article was originally written before the current standards for adding citations using <ref></ref> tags were in place, but it's good practice to include proper citations with any new content you add so it won't be challenged (and it would be great to add citiations to existing content if you have them). - PKM (talk) 03:24, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cosmetics[edit]

What does "illegible mask of impurity" mean? If you are directly quoting from your source, you must put the quote in quotation marks or in a blockquote if it's extensive. - PKM (talk) 03:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting the article COMPLETE[edit]

The split into 1750-1775 and 1775-1795 is complete per discussion above. I'm still cleaning up and adding images where needed. Please see if I missed anything.

I have put "macaroni" in 1775-1795 since it fits with self-expression discussions there. Let me know if anyone diagrees. Changed my mind, "macaroni" goes in 1750-75. - 21:13, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Frock[edit]

A frock actually is a specific kind of 18th century coat of country origin, which became the 19th century frock coat. It's the "frock" half of smock-frick.

I have citations for this, which I will look up. But one does have to distinguish between a coat and a frock in this period. - PKM (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
