social status

Exploration Stage: Summer Theater Stage
From: Adeline Svensson
Description: This image isn't enough! We still need something to make the character of William's mother stand out. She definitely valued her social status, contrary to her son. Contrary to her son. I get it! Noble ladies of that era wore "ruffled collars." Let's look for that one.
Completed: The "ruffled collar" found was worn with a dress with a low neckline. The darker colors would make the skin appear more flattering. It represented the noble social status of the noblewoman. This collar is the perfect way to represent her.
