초록

This paper discusses the social changes in the late 19th century that provided a historical backgroundin the appearance of the ready-to-wear clothing in the West. It examines the socialmeanings of the appearance of the ready-to-wear clothing at the time and traces the origins ofthese social characteristics to the book published in the 16th century by Thomas More, Utopia.
The results of this study can be summarized as the following. First, the appearance and expansionof the ready-to-wear clothing coincided with the social transition from a class-based societyto a democratic society in the west in the 19th century. Second, uniforms were produced inthe 18th century Europe in order to distinguish different classes and ethnic groups, with the militaryuniforms being the most visible example. Frequent military campaigns in Europe resulted inthe increasing demand and expansion of military uniforms, which later became the basis of thestandardization of the men’s clothing with uniforms. Third, the women’s ready-to-wear clothingappeared later than their male counterpart and was made possible by the simplification of design,an important characteristic of women’s wear in the later period. Fourth, the social characteristicsof the ready-to-wear clothing can be traced to a democratic and egalitarian society without personalproperties that was depicted in the book of Utopia by Thomas More. Fifth, one of thecharacteristics of the ready-to-wear clothing can be found in the description of Utopia, in whicheveryone in Utopia wears a clothing of the same form for life.
