Changes to the section "18th century, the Rococó and early New Classicism"[edit]

I feel as though it is important to provide information about patriotic fashion trends during the French Revolution (1789-1799) under the section titled "18th century, the Rococó and early New Classicism". I will simply add an extra paragraph at the end of this section. I will use two credible secondary sources, the first of which is Chapter 1 of The Political Economy of Virtue^[1]. This is a reliable source written by John Shovlin, a professor of history at New York University. He specializes in eighteenth and nineteenth century European culture and politics. When I edit this wikipedia page, I will include information about the 1780s boom in French consumerism which fueled an interest in high fashion amongst ordinary citizens. This information will allow me to smoothly transition from explaining how lower classes began wearing fashionable clothing to what clothing items lower classes actually adorned themselves in. The second source I will pull information from is Chapter 3 of Paris Fashion: A Cultural History^[2]. This source will aid me in elaborating on the subject of the Sans-culottes, which is only briefly mentioned in the last sentence of this section in the article. There is missing information here about who the Sans-culottes were. Furthermore, I will provide information about the red cap of liberty, the tricolor cockade, the French tricolor colors of red and blue, and the costume of patriotic French women. The French Revolution was an incredibly important event which took place at the end of the 18th century, thus I feel it is necessary to include information about the popular fashion trends of its time. Altogether I will add about 200-300 words within this section. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page.
