People take the healthy and natural ancient Greek costume culture as a model and pursue the pure form of classical nature. Especially women's clothing, the shape is extremely simple and simple, which is in sharp contrast with the over-decorated and finely kneaded rococo style. This is a petticoat made of white tulle. Its modeling feature is that the waist line is raised to the bottom of the breast, and the inner side of the chest is made into a breast protective layer, which has the function of a bra. Sleeves are short, mostly bubble sleeves, and jade arms are exposed. As compensation, gloves that grew above the elbow appeared. The skirt is very long, with soft and elegant folds hanging from the high waist to the ground, and this kind of long skirt is getting longer and longer, so that ladies have to carry the skirt when walking. This elegant gesture is also very popular. The popular fabric at that time was white cotton cloth as thin as cicada's wings from England. Since 1760, Britain's industrial revolution has made remarkable progress in its textile technology. Cotton imported from India has been used to produce cotton muslin with high yarn count and thin cotton fabrics such as yarn and yarn. Under the influence of classicism, this thin cotton cloth replaced the gorgeous silk in the past. While simple petticoat women's dresses are popular, women like to decorate themselves with shawls of various colors, among which the warp-knitted screen (hexagonal mesh yarn) produced by Tiller in central France is the most commonly used. Therefore, this kind of screen cloth is named "tulle" after its place of origin. Since 1798, the cashmere shawl made in India has become popular again, which is a worsted fabric made of cashmere from Kashmir in northern India. Its superior warmth and soft feel were favored by ladies at that time.

1804 After Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, he highly praised Roman culture. In order to restore national strength as soon as possible, he encouraged luxury to promote economic development. On the one hand, he built palaces and revived silk. Textile industries such as velvet and Lisi reward arts and crafts; On the other hand, he pursued gorgeous aristocratic taste in clothes, asked painters to design dresses for themselves, and prohibited upper-class women from wearing the same clothes on the same occasion, which caused a wave of luxury in the French court, and was left behind by Britain and other European countries at the same time and had to follow suit blindly. This dress habit really promoted the development of French textile and garment industry and provided employment opportunities for many craftsmen at that time. However, women's wear in the imperial era is still high-waisted. From 1804, the length of the skirt became shorter, generally reaching the ground, and the hem began to widen, with pleats, ruffles and lace. The fabric used was also changed from thin cotton cloth to thick silk fabric such as satin. This style is called "imperial style" in history. At the end of the empire, the corsets that were once abandoned after the Great Revolution quietly returned to women, and there were more and more decorations on women's clothes. After Napoleon's failure, with the resurgence of the old aristocratic forces, women's wear in China and the United States once again developed in the direction of excessive decoration and transitioned to the romantic era.
