1804 also marked the appearance of short, puffed sleeves (Payne 464).
Around 1811 the style of women's dress changed from a slim, sheer look to a bulkier, more ornamented style (Payne 468). Light cotton fabrics were replaced by firm heavy fabrics and patterned materials (Payne 468). "Embroidered borders, ruffles, padded rolls of fabric, and flowers decorated skirts at the hemline. Ruffs became major accessories (Payne 468)." Some fabrics used were chintz, cambric, merino, printed batiste, crepe, nets, gauzes, and India muslins (Payne 469). Merino is a wool fabric that comes from Merino sheep and was used to provide warmth in the winter; while printed muslins and ginghams were used for warm weather dresses (Payne 469).
Daytime dresses and eveningwear were different in style, design, and color. Daytime dresses had high necklines, long sleeves, and a high waistline (Payne 470). Daytime dressed were also being made in colors at this point, with the favorites being rose, pale pink, amber, marigold, sea green, primrose pink, lilac, sky blue, sage green, and fawn (Payne 469). Evening dresses, on the other hand, revealed bosoms, shoulders, and backs, and were still primarily white (Payne 470).
The shape of women's dresses changed a lot between 1800 and 1810. Skirts became wider and had yards of heavy trimming around the bottom (Payne 470). The trimming on the skirts was stiff so it emphasized the fullness (Payne 470). The fronts were still smooth and flat so the extra width was concentrated in the back in pleats, and this paneling made the silhouette change from a tube to a slender cone (Payne 470).
1818 showed the next change in the shape and style of women's dresses. Tight bodices, swelling sleeves, and widening skirts became en vogue (Payne 478). "Colorful and varied fabrics such as satin, glazed taffeta (lutestring), Irish poplin (silk & wool), and machine-made lace replaced white muslins (Payne 478).

He believes that love is the currency of the soul, but that America has forgotten this. ... Ginsberg takes a political stance against this act of self-harm, protesting against the Eisenhower Regime of a narrow conformist era where happiness is a breakfast of waffles and maple syrup, around a table with a wipe-clean cloth in yellow checks, a mom and dad and two point four perfect children, and 2 cars on the driveway. ...

Although most of the script delivery was amazingly well done, with enough emphasis on key words and phrases that the script became almost current, there were some strange moments of forgotten lines and "Romeo" being called "Juliet's "husband"".

To continue in that fashion, it should be mentioned that Huck's father enjoyed consuming alcohol in copious amounts to the point of intoxication. ... It really all starts when the two first meet Huck and Jim and pretend to be poor woebegone forgotten royalty, and continues through swindling a poor religious group, putting on an incorrectly enunciated Shakespearian play, dressing up Jim as an "Arab," tricking a town full of people into paying for what was a scam of a show, and taking advantage of a hapless dead man. ...
