Author: Evolution isn’t just about life forms going from single- to multiple-cell organisms, or a monkey’s uncle turning into your Uncle Bob after a few eons. Evolution is “a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form,” meaning that both living things and man’s inventions become more sophisticated over time. Can we apply a non-organic Theory of Evolution to the development of the dress? Certainly. Why not?
Other roles for dresses
There were many functions for the dress originally and, as we have already seen, in certain cultures and religions they are still especially important for women. We may be able to predict, at least generally, women’s progress in the world’s remaining authoritarian cultures and societies by recalling their fashion evolution in Europe over the centuries.
Behind the fashion
Ceremony or ritual is another importance of dresses for a woman and is the real (but unstated) purpose for many occasions and special events. Wedding dresses help to signify a women’s transition from being single to becoming a wife. That’s an important evolution in itself. Other cultures that perform different rituals or ceremonies find the dress an important symbol of the woman because it is a reflection of being feminine and beautiful.
