"Ruffs: A Fashion Statement Through the Centuries" Step back in time to the English Court of the 16th century, where ruffs reigned supreme. These elaborate neckpieces were an essential part of English court dress during this era, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to any outfit. Costumes designed by James Bailey for an Old Vic production of "Twelfth Night" in 1954 showcased Olivia's stunning dress made from painted nylon gauze. The addition of a ruff completed her regal ensemble, capturing the essence of Shakespearean drama. But ruffs weren't limited to theatrical productions; they also played a significant role in funeral clothing during the late 16th century. Portraits like that of an unknown man and his servant from 1579 depicted mourners adorned with black attire and intricate ruffs as they bid farewell to their loved ones. Even Queen Elizabeth I herself embraced these fashionable accessories. In "A Procession of Queen Elizabeth I, " painted between 1800-1840, we see Her Majesty donning an exquisite white lace ruff that perfectly frames her majestic visage. Throughout history, notable figures have been immortalized wearing these iconic neckpieces. Francis Bacon's portrait from 1731 showcases him sporting a lavish lace collar with delicate pleats, while John Fletcher's depiction on oak panel circa 1620 features him wearing a more understated yet still elegant ruff. Not only men but women too indulged in this fashion trend. Michael Drayton's portrait from 1599 shows him proudly displaying his intricately pleated linen collar, while Sir Francis Walsingham and Robert Dudley both opted for stylishly starched collars that added sophistication to their appearances. Beyond portraits and historical figures, even family portraits captured the allure of ruffs.
