Welcome to Meghan Grace DIY! I have been sewing since I was 8 years old and have done lots of great things in the sewing world from making figure skating costumes to teaching high school fashion to freelance costume design to college fashion professor. In this video I break down the psychological reasons behind why humans chose the clothing that they do. Why do we wear clothes? There are many different decisions that go into the clothing we wear, all relating to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. We chose clothing to be protected, to decorate and adorn ourselves and demonstrate our status. Before we get started I think it is important to note that as much as I try to include strictly facts in this type of video, I do still interpret those facts through my own personal experiences and you may not agree with all I have to say. Each of the points in the video could be broken down into a video of its own, so I apologize if I don't go fully in depth but if you would like a video on a specific aspect of clothing, feel free to let me know! Also, if you would like to use this video in an educational setting, please feel free to email me for an accompanying power point or outline.
