 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Controversy[edit]
Outsiders, including English people at the time, had a hard time understanding the purpose of Chopines. People did not agree with the fabric and texture in the chopines, many thought it is wasteful and undeserving. Most notably, this caused a divide between societal classes in Venetian times. Lastly, men were not pleased with the chopines at times, since women would appear taller than men. Overall, this fashion choice was debated a lot, and perceived as irrational by many.
Social Significance[edit]
Chopines were definitely a staple to determine one's social significance. Venetian chopines were typically worn by women who belong in upper-class families with more money. Furthermore, the women who wore higher-leveled chopines were placed around for publicly receiving attention. This attests to the notion the chopines were an authentic piece of art, representing the wealth, prosperity and beauty of Venice. In addition, women with high-leveled chopines had two servants next to them to help them walk, thus confirming the symbol of wealth and high-class.
