"Jupon: A Timeless Garment Through the Ages" Step back in time to the 14th century, where knights engaged in fierce combat. Their armor adorned with great helms and shields bearing heraldic crests, they fought valiantly for honor and glory. In a different era, during Marie Antoinette's reign, a woman delicately lifted the hem of her dress. The jupon she wore underneath added volume and elegance to her ensemble, reflecting the fashion trends of that time. Traveling further back into history, we encounter a French peasant from the 16th century. Clad in simple attire depicted by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard's lithography, this humble figure represents an era marked by hardship and resilience. Returning to the 14th century battlefield once again, knights clash their swords as they strive for victory. The jupons they wear provide both protection and distinction amidst the chaos of war. Moving forward through time under King Henry III's rule, we catch a glimpse of French women donning fashionable garments illustrated by Lechevallier-Chevignard. These elegant ensembles showcase intricate details that were highly sought after during this period. Not limited to nobility or peasants alone, even women from Alsatian bourgeoisie embraced fashion trends of their time. As wives of string manufacturers from Strasbourg in the 16th century, these ladies displayed their social status through clothing choices captured beautifully by Lechevallier-Chevignard's lithography. Fast-forwarding to more recent times around 1900s France reveals a glimpse into underwear catalogs featuring slips - essential undergarments for every woman seeking comfort without compromising style. A study conducted between 1860-1864 showcases a woman rolling up her skirt while walking on foot - perhaps indicating practicality over fashion at that moment in history.
