Who are Eurasians? They are someone who has European and Asian blood. How does this happen? Though Europe and Asia are continents far away from each other but still some Europeans come to Asia and these Europeans are traders. They travelled by sea in search of a better route to the new markets and exotic goods in Asia that cannot be found in Europe.
Traditional Eurasian Costumes:
The Eurasian men wear shirt that are normally made from wool or linen, hemp or silk. The shirt has a low neckline, full sleeves with no cuffs and sloped gently out from the shoulders. Trousers became common during the Regency era. The trousers had a high waist that came up at least to the navel. They were drop front and were held up by means of suspenders. They were worn much looser than pantaloons though they were often fitted down at the ankles, or onto the shoes. Trousers could be made of wool, linen or cotton.
The dress is a piece of clothing worn by women and girls which covers her body and extends down over her legs. Skirts tracing back from the 1850’s into the 1860’s could measure 12 to 15 feet in circumference. Toward the end of the War, the skirts took on a more elliptical shape, with more fullness falling toward the back. Fine dresses would have skirts embellished with ribbon, braid or ruching. Some had flounces sewn onto an underskirt, or were layered to form a flounce. Overskirts could be drawn up to reveal the underskirt or even a fancy peticoat. Skirts were often lined. The hem was usually several inches deep, often of a different fabric, probably scraps from previous sewing projects. The hem edge finish would often include horsehair braid which helped prevent wear and fraying.
Bermuda shorts and T-shirts are worn more often nowadays.
