Ebook from
Ebscohost entitled Arts and Humanities Through the Eras. The particular
section I am focused on is section 5 and is called The Age of the Baroque and
Enlightenment (1600- 1800). I’ll be discovering the fashion of the “Rococo”
time period in France. The “Rococo” period, as it is named (from the years
1690-1770) is included in depth in this section under “The High Tide of French
Fashion”. This is an eight-page compilation explaining how this style evolved
into what it was, what kind of fabrics, shapes, and prints were popular, and
why it began to change at the start of Enlightenment. The section provides
several images and an excerpt from Samuel Richardson’s novel Clarissa- printed
in 1748, which explains a character’s gown with great detail.

Through History. Blogspot. April, 2006. Web.
Huge blog that has articles written by
many different authors and contributors. Has a section on The Rococo period
with much of the same information I found in the Ebook. It explains fabrics,
colors, and patterns as well as the Closed dress (one piece) and Open dress
(Two pieces). It also goes slightly into wigs and jewelry as well. Very well
researched.
