Realistic History in FGO (4) Nero Clothing (Revised)

Realistic History in FGO (4) Nero Costume (Revised)

First of all, this should be considered Nero in fate extra, so I will forcibly merge it into FGO.

In (3), we talked about the armor of the King of Knights. This time we talk about Nero, who is also a Saber class. I don’t want to talk about the Nero in history, there isn’t much to say, and also because he is definitely not as attractive as she is. Corresponding to the blue Saber analytical armor, this time the red Saber is an analytical costume. Like Artoria's armor, Nero's clothes are a combination of many elements.

It can be seen that the clothes on the upper body are mixed with many clothing elements. The epaulettes have some shadows of military uniforms. The puff sleeves on the shoulders have many shadows of women’s dresses. The lapels on both sides of the European style are also widely found in military uniforms and On the dress, but generally speaking, it draws more elements from military uniforms.

"Fake collar"

At first I thought if Nero was wearing a collar (to cover his face), in reality Princess Alexandra wore it to cover the scar on her neck. I took the example of a wide collar, but after looking at it several times, I always felt that it was different from the one on Nero’s neck (no matter how you look at it, it looks like a collar). As mentioned at the beginning, this collar is actually a hybrid, maybe in the setting There are reference fake collars and collars. The fake collar first appeared in Troy, New York, in 1827. It was invented by Hannah Montague. She first cut off her husband's collar, washed it, and then sewed it on. Ebeniza Brown, a businessman in the same town, commercialized it. ation, making false collars a pillar industry in Troy.

In addition, the style of this collar is very similar to military uniforms or court uniforms from the 18th to 19th centuries.

"Epaulettes"

The most obvious element that Nero's overall clothing borrows from military uniforms is this pair of epaulettes. The history of epaulettes obviously cannot be traced back to ancient Rome. The earliest prototype of epaulettes appeared in the Middle Ages, and the modern style appeared in France in 1763. At first I thought Nero wore the tassel epaulettes worn by kings and generals, but Nero’s epaulettes obviously did not have a round shape on the outside, so I assumed that It must be an ordinary style epaulette with a tassel attached. But simply adding some hanging tassels makes ordinary epaulettes add a lot of momentum.

"Puff Sleeves/Bell Sleeves"

The most feminine part of the upper body clothing is the puff sleeves on the shoulders, making the wearer look like a princess or a queen. , which fits Nero in the play very well.

"Puff sleeves" This sleeve type first appeared during the Renaissance. In medieval times, women could not show their arms. The short puff sleeves that were as short as the elbow during the Renaissance were somewhat liberating. Later, during the Victorian period in England, puff sleeves and leg-of-mutton sleeves were favored by fashion. At the end of the 19th century, some puff sleeves became extremely exaggerated and were called "fool's sleeves." After entering the 20th century, at Princess Diana’s wedding of the century, the ancient costume of puff sleeves returned to people’s sight again. In the 21st century, puff sleeves are still active in the fashion arena. In the play, Nero wears long puff sleeves.

In the 10th episode of "Violet Evergarden", the little loli also wore a type of puff sleeves.

"Bell-shaped sleeves" first appeared in the 16th century, later than puff sleeves. The sleeves are narrow and the elbows/wrists are large. They first appeared in France and later became popular in England.

It became popular in the 1840s, and was initially very narrow at the top. In the 1970s, bell-shaped sleeves became larger and larger, and became popular again in the 21st century.

"Waist/Corset"

With the puff sleeves and tutu skirt, the waist naturally highlights Nero’s delicate waist. In the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete in the 3rd century BC, the image of a priestess with a waist as thin as a wasp's waist and the upper chest was held up high appeared in murals and sculptures. Nero and other figures Somewhat similar. This type of clothing and the corsets that appeared in the Greek era later adopted a very advanced "draping cutting method", which can be called a waistband (sang).

"Gold wire buckle"

From the 17th to the 19th century, similar gold wire buckles were an important decoration on military uniforms, and people in later generations also used this part of the buckle as a Used in fashion, it can be regarded as an example of the influence of military uniforms on fashion. Although the corset is mentioned above, the clothing on Nero's abdomen can only be considered as gold wire buckles. That is to say, these ribbons only serve a decorative purpose. What really sets off the beauty of the human body's curves is the cutting technology. .

"Lapel"

Because His Majesty's European style is too majestic, the short jacket-style top was squeezed to the sides. In order to highlight Nero's figure, he had to suffer a little. The lapels look weird, but you can actually find similar styles by searching. The above is an officer's uniform from the American Civil War. If it were shortened and worn open, the effect would be almost the same as Nero's.

"Underwear/Oppa"

In the third episode, Nero took off his coat to heal his wounds, and then realized that Nero was wearing underwear, which solved the problem of Nero's Fat is part of underwear. If we say when did underwear appear in the fashion industry, some would say it was the 1970s. In fact, this method of wearing existed in China's Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties more than a thousand years ago.

Since Nero outerwear is a mix of various elements, this set of underwear also includes a mix of pajamas, tights and strapless underwear.

"Decorated Sleeve Hems"

Nero's cuffs and skirt edges were decorated. Such sleeve hems were called fake sleeves, which were popular from the 18th to the 19th centuries. , the materials include linen, cotton and lace (if silk or organza is used to make Nero's clothing, the effect will be better)

Summarize the clothing design of the upper body, although Nero is set She is a woman, and her personality is a bit cute and childish, but just looking at the upper body of the outfit, minus the puffed sleeves and waist, the whole thing looks like a military uniform that has been "exploded" by the European style.

The most eye-catching thing about the lower body is the transparent skirt. From certain angles, you can see Nero's "fat", which is the most eye-catching part of this costume.

With a transparent skirt, you need a bustle to hold it up.

Looking at Nero's skirt from top to bottom, it looks very similar to the skirts worn by European aristocratic women during court dances. At that time, in order to hold up the skirt, bustles made of whalebone and various other materials were placed inside. The earliest bustles appeared in Spain in the fifteenth century.

As for Nero's skirt in the animation, if you look carefully, you can see that it will swing with the airflow. Sometimes the amplitude is not small, but if Nero stands still, the skirt will still hold up, which is a bit disappointing. Newton's coffin board couldn't hold it down, or there was a transparent bustle hidden in Nero's skirt.

"Groin skirt"

When I first wrote, I counted this part of the clothing as a cloak, but the cloak is always worn on the shoulders, and the cloak has a similar problem, so I will rule it out first. . I also searched for some skirts, some of similar styles, but none of them exposed my buttocks. Just when I was desperate, I saw a similar dress on Etsy and learned its name (Butt Cleavage Dress). As for the origin of such crotch-revealing clothing, one theory is that European aristocrats had strict etiquette. In order to make students work harder to learn these skills, boarding school teachers often used corporal punishment to supervise students. Over time, clothing was born that made it easier for teachers to whip students.

"Leg Armor/Steel Shoes"

The steel shoes on Nero's feet and the calf armor should be a reference to the plate armor that appeared in the 14th century, Nero's knees below The protective gear consists of steel shoes and greaves.

"Poncho/Penula"

Doesn't it look like Penula in real life? The penula was a poncho used to protect against cold and rain in the Roman era. It was originally a garment worn by the lower class, and became a fashionable garment for the upper class in the third century AD.

Okay, so far, the analysis of the costume elements borrowed from Nero’s costume has been completed. The articles and pictures have been deleted, modified, modified and deleted again. It takes a lot of time, but because it involves a wide range of areas, There must be many omissions and errors in this article, and I hope you will point them out.
