Another form of dress was the Peplos which was worn by women prior to 500 BC.  The chiton was also worn with a woolen cloak which was pinned at the shoulder.\n\nYou can see the peplos here - http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/CGPrograms/Dict/image/peplos-drawingSmall.jpg\n\nAnd the chiton here - http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/CGPrograms/Dict/image/chiton3.jpg

While this garment appears, to you, to be a dress, it is actually a long tunic. Tunics are one of the oldest pieces of clothing created from woven cloth, the easiest to make and the most comfortable to wear. They are also very versatile: wear it with or without pants, layer them for warmth, cover with a vest, jacket or robe to add protection from the elements and create extra storage (pockets!). Simple or ornate ornamentation will create a casual of formal grament.  Un-belted they allow ventilation in the heat; belts cinch up loose fabric when necessary and provide a place to hang a purse. The men of several cultures around the world wear clothing we would consider feminine here in the US. Back in history Greeks, Romans and Egyptians wore skirts. Men in countries such as Turkey, Greece and Scotland still don 'skirts' and 'dresses' as part of a formal uniform.

The dress of U.S. infantry volunteers varied greatly at the start of the Civil War and no effort was made to enforce conformity until after the First Battle of Bull Run. In that battle Union troops fought in French Zouave dress, tartan Scots caps and trousers, and cadet-gray outfits matching many Confederate designs. Several Northern prewar militias with strong ethnic rosters adopted military dress styles from their homeland. The Garibaldi Guard of New York City wore an Italian-style uniform featuring a broad flat hat adorned with chicken feathers. A unit made up mostly of French immigrants wore an Algerian campaign uniform. The 79th New York wore kilts on parade. This same variety was found in Confederate States uniforms.\n       \nThough volunteer units were not forbidden distinctive dress in 1861 and 1862, by mid war field hardships had forced most to abandon their original uniforms and adopt the dress prescribed for U S Regulars. This allowed easier communication in the field since Regular Army uniform regulations made rank and service affiliation recognizable at a distance.\n        \nInfantry officers and enlisted men wore dark blue frock coats hanging to mid thigh; majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels, and all general officers coats were double-breasted. Those ranking lower wore single breasted frock coats. Major generals coats were distinguished by 9 buttons in each row, the buttons grouped in threes. Brigadier generals wore 8 buttons to a row, grouped by twos. Colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors each wore 2 rows of 7 buttons, equally spaced. All others wore a single row of 9 equally spaced buttons.\n        \nFurther distinctions of rank were indicated with shoulder boards for officers and sleeve chevrons, on non-commissioned officers and enlisted men. On their shoulder boards major generals commanding armies wore 3 stars, the center star being larger than the others. Major generals wore 2 stars; brigadier generals, 1 star; colonels, an eagle; lieutenant colonels, 2 silver embroidered leaves; majors, 2 gold embroidered leaves; captains, 2 groups of 2 gold bars; a 1st lieutenant, a gold bar; and 2nd lieutenants wore boards with no insignia.\n        \nSergeants wore 3 chevrons, corporals 2. Regular enlisted men were distinguished by 1 stripe on the lower sleeve for each 5 years of faithful service. Artillerymen and cavalrymen wore the same badges of rank on waist-length jackets. The different grades and duties of sergeants were distinguished by cloth or worsted devices on chevrons.\n        \nInfantry members and general officers wore Jefferson boots, and in cold weather all soldiers wore dark blue overcoats with a short cape extending to the cuff on commissioned officers and mounted troops, and to the elbow on all others. General officers, ordnance officers, and all privates wore plain dark blue trousers, except in the light artillery, where trousers were sky blue. Staff officers wore a gold cord on the outer seam of each leg. Sergeants, ordnance sergeants, and hospital stewards wore a 1 ½-in. stripe down each outer seam; corporals wore a 1/2-in. stripe. The color of the stripe denoted an affiliation with a particular branch of the army: yellow for cavalry, scarlet for artillery, sky blue for infantry, emerald green for mounted riflemen, crimson for ordnance and hospital personnel. Individuals further identified their affiliations with corps badges.\n\n        Through the Hardee hat was popular at the outset of the, it was widely replaced in by the kepi. Loose-fitting forage caps, some with the crown thrust far forward, and expansive fatigue blouses were the usual field wear. Cavalrymen and field artillerymen wore knee-high boots on campaign.\n\n        Uniform regulations were extensive and also addressed the proper design and wear of buttons, vests, sashes, gloves, cap insignia, spurs, knots, epaulettes, belts, swords, cravats, and neck stocks. Trimming, braiding, and design on many of these items, denoted r

I've found some nice dresses in "Group USA" in Secaucus, but you can see if they have one closer. They have a nice selection and good prices.

hmm, twinsets, capris, halter tops, full skirts, anything kind of fifties.  Hair in a ponytail, french twist.  horn-rim glasses, cat eye glasses, saddle shoes, mary janes, black leather jackets, (biker style), pencil skirts, levis rolled to capri length, that's all I can think of right now.

Royalty was not alone in wearing wigs in the 18th century in Europe!\nMost people wore them as fashion. Some were simple affairs, others very ornate and powdered. Kings, nobles, judges, lawyers, apothecaries, businessmen, actors, poets etc etc etc-- youll find everyone wearing wigs back then.\nThe best wigs were made from real human hair. the other were made from horse-hair and other material.

Baroque music, art and architecture all started right around the same time, 1600.  To put it simply, they were a kind of reaction against the purity of Renaissance forms which had by that time been distorted into the style called Mannerism (El Greco's and Parmegiano's (forgive any spelling errors) elongated figures and Geusaldo's bizarre polyphony are examples).\n\nBaroque was an attempt to start anew.  In painting and sculpture this meant replacing the "classical" appearance of the Renaissance with theatrical compositions.  Another feature was emphasis on light in addition to figures, especially contrast between dark and light such as the sun shingon storm clouds.  This is called "chiaroscuro."  Still another was use of models dressed in either contemporary clothing or clothes resembling theater outfits in biblical and historical paintings.\n\nIn music, Baroque started by replacing polyphony (motets, masses and madrigals sung by voices alone or just doubled with instruments) with a new form called "concertante."  This stressed use of intruments playing separate parts from the voices, double choirs or soloists singing against a choir instead of polyphony, and new forms of music like opera and instrumental sonatas (both forms were in fasct invented almost exactly around 1600).\n\nAs time went on barqoue art and music became richer and more complex.  Music began to emphasize counterpoint again, like that of the Renaissance, but in much more complex forms, such as Bach's fugues.  Art and architecture got more decorative to the point of being lush.  Eventually, during the time of Louis XV in France, the styles got so feminine and playful that they took on the new name "Rococco."  (the paintings of Boucher or a Louis XV room done in gold ormoulu and gilt walls are examples) This happened somewhat later in music and was not as clearly noticeable.\n\nAround 1760 or so, people who were influenced by writers like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Schiller began to think of baroque as being too ornate, unnataural, and too associated with royalty.  There was a rebellion against the style which was replaced a new structure called classicism.

It originated in the 1630's and had a military origin. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie\n\nThey became popular as dress wear back then as they were more comfortable than the starched linen ruffs that were worn at the time.
