anecdotes and allusions

1. Luxury trends

The luxury atmosphere in Russia began in the Elizabethan era. As a teenager, she was educated in French style and had a special liking for French clothes and cosmetics. Young Elizabeth not only looks good, but also has beautiful legs (at least that's what others told her), so she spent a lot of time dressing up and caring for her appearance.

Elizabeth likes to buy new clothes constantly, and she never wears a long dress twice. Once the palace where Elizabeth kept her clothes caught fire, and 4, dresses were burned at one time. After her death, more than 15, long skirts, thousands of pairs of shoes and two boxes of silk stockings were selected from the palace.

2. Fashion trends

In addition, Elizabeth likes dancing, and she holds masked balls at least twice a week in the palace. At a ball, Elizabeth changed clothes three times. She also ingeniously asked all the female guests attending the dance to wear men's clothes and all the men to wear skirts.

every time a merchant ship carrying cosmetics and clothes from Paris arrives in St. Petersburg, Elizabeth demands that all her favorite goods be bought immediately and not seen by others, so that she is always the first to participate in social activities in new styles of clothes and will always lead the fashion trend in Russia.

In this way, Elizabeth promoted the Russian nobility to advocate luxury and exquisiteness, which was a far cry from the rude Queen Anna. That is, during the reign of Elizabeth, Russia began to gradually form an upper class similar to Western Europe.
