Dion Clayton Calthrop: A Timeless Fashion Journey Step into the world of Dion Clayton Calthrop, where history comes alive through exquisite costumes that transport us to different eras. From the opulent reigns of George II and Anne I to the tumultuous times under James II and Cromwells, each costume tells a unique story. For women during the reign of George II (1727-1760), elegance was paramount. Their attire boasted intricate embroidery, sumptuous fabrics, and elaborate hairstyles adorned with feathers and jewels. These garments reflected their status as fashionable ladies in Georgian society. In contrast, men's fashion during Anne I's reign (1702-1714) exuded sophistication with knee-length coats, waistcoats, breeches, and tricorn hats. The emphasis was on tailoring and refinement—a true embodiment of aristocratic style. The era of James II (1685-1689) witnessed men donning lavish clothing featuring richly embroidered doublets paired with wide-legged breeches. This period marked a transition from flamboyant Renaissance fashion to more structured silhouettes influenced by French court trends. During the Cromwells' rule (1649-1660), women's costumes took on a simpler form due to Puritan influence. Modesty prevailed as dresses became plainer with high necklines and long sleeves—reflecting societal changes amidst political upheaval. Mary I's reign (1553-1558) saw women embracing luxurious gowns made from sumptuous fabrics like velvet or silk brocade. Elaborate headpieces adorned with pearls completed their regal look—an homage to Tudor grandeur. Henry VIII's time (1509-1547) showcased extravagant women's attire characterized by voluminous skirts supported by farthingales or hoops underneath. Richly embellished bodices accentuated their figures while ornate headdresses added an air of majesty fit for a queen.
