ExpIaininu History Of Dress.

II one could only know the origin
of all the many words we use In our
daily talk, one would know much OF
the history of dress. Many of our
most recently adopted clothes words
come from France, but five hundred
years ago dress terms more usually
came from Italy. then the mecca OF
fashion. Hence, velvet came from
~veiIuto," the Italian. word to indi-
cate shaggy. And "camesole," which
has recently been revived from an
earlier English usage. came from the
Italian diminutlve Of chemise.
