Il Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Century

One of the most peculiar and inter
ssting evolutions in historic fashion is
The growth and development of the
ruff in England. This ruff began its
career as a humble little something
ike a tuck running along the top of
the chemise!te from shoulder to Shout
der. You can see it grow in the
portraits of royal personages slowly,
but surely, ike a great linen flower
opening its plated petals from genera
ton to generation. During the reign
Of Henry VII it was scarcely more
than budding cxcrescence, bit with
Henry VIII. it had outgrown its tuck
stage to the extent Of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild fare. Those We're the days of
such strict sUmptuary laws that in or
der to wear black genet you must be
royal. to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbOr, to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must be
able to show an Income of over 200
marks a year. The reign of Edward
VI. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development. But Queen Eliza
beth. seeing in it possibilities for off
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed it into vigorous life. In the six
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women. even tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stiff rays of the ruff on all great occa-
| siCns. Even over France, Germany
and Italy it spread its white pinions
and held unquestioned sway until it
| fell with the Roundheads.
