Fast Fashion History: The Mantua Making Trade (History of Dressmakers!)

The Mantua-Making trade began at the end of the 1600s and very early 1700s, and it fundamentally changed women's fashion, industry, economies, and the concept of female independence. While "ladies" - women born of higher social rank- could not enter the trades like mantua-making and millinery, it doesn't mean that these trades didn't ensure financial independence and success for middle and lower class women throughout the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
