Clothes can tell a lot about a person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they

wear nice clothes, but their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look
at them. Clothes today are very different from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the
way they look. For example, in the 1800s all women wore dresses. The dresses all had long
skirts.
But today women do not always wear dresses with long skirts .Sometimes they wear
short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants. Another difference between1800s and today is the
cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth. They were made

from cotton, wool, silk, or linen. But today, there are many kinds of man–made cloth. A lot
of clothes are now made from nylon, rayon, or polyester.
