  At the beginning of this century, the woman immediately realized that her dignity was wrapped in the gorgeous armor of her robes, her figure was shaped into a grotesque S-shaped bend: the breast was squeezed out of a broad curve, and an exaggerated protruding bottom bent In the opposite direction as a counterweight under the tight waist and flat abdomen. This look includes a winding skirt, spread out on the ground, very long and narrow sleeves, a very high stand collar, a train, hair curls and curled hair, undulating hair over-decoration, dramatic Draped hat chiffon, Chinese fabric, silk alpaca, velvet and lace.

The biggest innovations of the 1848 prom dresses were long stems, stylized flowers, colored embroidered borders and up-moving decorations.

Fashion not only expresses the asymmetry between social classes; it also mediates inequalities between men and women.

Fashion historian Barbara Vinken surveyed the history of fashion in the 20th century in 1993 and defined a fashion that pursues fashion, which is poor, sentimental, cheesy or tasteless. The aesthetics: "Fashion invented a woman's fashion for more than a hundred years, the fashion after fashion began to deconstruct the woman of the same self; and fashion originally concealed its art, and it now shows its tricks."
