Elizabethans were not allowed to wear what clothes they liked. Their clothing and items of apparel were dictated by Elizabethan Summitry Laws which governed the style and materials worn. The laws were used to control behavior and to make sure that a specific class structure was maintained. The penalties for violating the laws were harsh and could include fines, the loss of property, title and even life. The clothes provided information about the status of a person wearing them. This was not just dictated by wealth, but also reflected social standing. Only Royalty were permitted to wear clothes trimmed with ermine. Lesser nobles were allowed to wear clothing trimmed with fox and otter. The colors and materials were also dictated as well as type of clothing. The hoop worn under a skirt was called a farthingale and only allowed to be worn by the nobility. Normally, when worn, it was not for everyday use, but for special dresses.
