Fashions for men and women during the reign of Henry VII. He used dress to bolster his claim to the throne and project a status in the days after the Battle of Bosworth. Tudor clothing continued to evolve as fashions and trends changed. Tudor gowns were designed to give women a triangular shape, while men’s clothes gave them an almost square shape. At court, women’s gowns usually consisted of a smock, petticoat, kirtle, and a partlet. Men, meanwhile, wore a shirt, jerkin, doublet, overgown, and a hose. Men also usually wore caps, adorned with various jewels and feathers.
