A recent letter to the Editor in the RBDN described the attire worn by some local high school girls at a ball game. Not to quote too exactly but it seems that the young maids were showing quite a bit of their lower trunk area as their attire was hung a bit low. In addition they had gang style black and white bandanas tied around their heads. It doesn't sound like a pretty sight for all eyes. There are dress codes but where was the code patrol? Just the other day as we were driving home from town I noticed a few young people who I believe were girls. It was a guess as they seemed to have on unisex clothes for the minute amount of body that was covered. A voluptuous amount of body was exposed giving more insight into the gender of the young people. I said to my husband, "Do you ever remember girls dressing like that in the 1950s?" He agreed that he had never seen the likes of it in Red Bluff in the whole time he attended school in RB. The fact is that women's fashions have developed over the ages for the primary goal of catching the eyes of the opposite gender. For example in me Elizabethan day the goal of women's fashion was to show the woman's status in society and make her as attractive as possible, redesign of those days was to make the waist look smaller, which often required other parts of the women's dress, such as sleeves to be stuffed resulting in puffy billows. The large billows apparently made the waist look tiny in comparison. Under garments then called "breeches" were also stuffed so the waist looked smaller. In addition the women had to bear the pressure of tight-lacing around the waist and stomach. In the 1500s the women's most seductive clothing item was the carefully thought out addition of a neck ruffle, which was manipulated by a simple string that was drawn through the upper edge of the shirt to form a ruffle. The ruffle was an example of the "seduction principal," as it was called in those days, the ruffle allowed the wearer's charms as a woman to be Police reports The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.
