| | |  Class #1 Muggle Clothing
In this class we will be looking at Muggle Clothing Trends. As wizards we are used to wearing robes and such however, I am sure many of you are familar with muggle clothing as it is necessary for us to mix in with muggles frequently. Since most of us are familar with current muggle clothing or as muggles call it "fashion", we will be looking at muggle clothing throughout the eras and what is proper wear for men and women through those years. | |

She pulls out her napsack, and grabs a new roll of parchment and her brother's old quill. She smiled from Afton back to Jill.
"Well Afton, I haven't seen you much lately since you're in Gryffindor. Maybe sometime we could hang out."
She began to write something down, making a loud sound of a scratching quill. She looked over at all the unfamiliar faces from other houses.
"Muggle clothing doesn't seem all that interesting. I mean, well....you know what I mean."

~Mia walks into the classroom and waves as she sits near Afton as she waves at her~
"This class should be great, even tho I am muggle-born, I love fashion!!"
She thinks to herself as she pulls out a Quill and few sheets of Parchment from her bag.

*smiled to the students that come in and waited patiently for the class to begin*
Muggles studies...hmmm..interesting. Muggles are so weird, especially their clothes. How can they wear those colorful clothes.
*she thought to herself while she waited*

Mrs. Weasley takes out her quill, ink, and a roll of parchment from her bag and gets ready to take notes. "Professor Evans, she says, you said we will be studying muggle clothing throughout the eras. I take that to mean we will be studying the history of Muggle Clothing. Just how far back are you planning to go? I mean are we going to start with the loincloth and work our way forward?" | |

Megan smiles nervously at the girl nxt to her. She has never writtin with a quill before and trys to write a neat title. This proves to b unsucsessful and she trys to casually clean her hand in her robe without everyone noticing the mess she has made. As other students write quickley and scribble away, megan desperatly trys to write but the quill is prove far from difficult to use than she imagined.

Serena sat quietly thinking to herself, "This could be really fascinating. Looking back through history the styles for muggle clothing have changed dramatically! You can visit any muggle museum and see artwork dating back for centuries that shows how clothes are a form of artwork for some."

Ashlie listened to all the younger students around her and pushed back her hair. It certainly felt a little strange. Especially since they kept going on about how much they loved fashion. She shuddered. Fashion wasn't her faveorite thing in the world, but she would never skip a Mugge Studies Class. | |

Shannon walks into the classroom, looking for familiar faces. She sees some people she recognizes from the Ravenclaw common room, and sits down in a seat near them. "Muggle clothing? This should be interesting..."

*Sarah walked into the classroom and sat in the seat she had used last year and took out her things and put them on her desk*
Looks like an interesting lesson.

Francis, who had already been taking notes, notices Shannon, Ashlie, and Raven. Smiling, she waves at them, while trying to take notes at the same time.

Stephanie sits down near some students, and takes out her notebook. "The only thing I miss is wearing Jeans." Stephanie states mildly. | |

Shannon smiles and waves back to Francis while taking parchment and a quill out of her bag. "How's this for muggle clothing?" she whispers to Francis, as she slips off her shoe and lifts her robe a little. Underneath, she was wearing blue striped toe socks with a little face stitched into the end of each toe. | |

Sativa pulls her hair back into a ponytail and opens her books, *annoying quills* she mutters * why can't we study muggle writing utensils?*
As she attempts to write, a blob of ink escapes and drips into her book. *Merlin's beard! why does everything have to start out crummy* she thinks as she looks around, hoping no one saw her making a fool of herself.

Professor Evans stands up from behind her desk to draw attention and quiet the students down. She straightens her robe and begins to speak:
Ok, class, fashion through the years with muggle has changed dramatically and for those of you who are a little hesitant about this topic I think you will find this to be very interesting. We will be looking at the last one hundred years of fashion and how it has changed. First we will be looking at 1900-1920. Now In the first decade we call this the Edwardian era, fashion in this era was very proper. Men wore long pants and women always wore dress and corsets. Can anyone tell what a corset is please?

Francis raises her hand. Waiting patiently for the teacher to acknowledge her.
Then, she answers: "A corset comes from the Old French word: cors meaning body, as well from the Latin word corpus which means body. The corset is a close-fitting undergarment, often reinforced by stays, worn to support and shape the waistline, hips, and breasts. It is also a medieval outer garment, like a laced jacket or bodice."

Very good Francis, 5 points for Ravenclaw. A corset was basically designed to create a smaller image. In this era smaller was considered better. Men and women would often wear their shoes a size smaller than normal and some women would even have their baby toes removed to make their shoes thinner. Shoes were very important in this era often made of silk or satin and decked out with jewels or beads. Now as we move through the ear who can tell what event started in 1914 that would spark a change in society?
