TUCKERS Meaning and
Definition
-
Tuckers is a plural noun that refers to a type of garment or clothing item, specifically a loose-fitting, lightweight shirt or chemise worn by women or children in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It typically features delicate, decorative tucks or pleats that are sewn into the fabric, creating a gathered or ribbed effect.
The term "tuckers" originated from the practice of "tucking," which involves folding and sewing fabric to create pleats or folds. Tuckers were often made from lightweight and breathable materials, such as cotton or linen, making them ideal for warm weather or as undergarments.
These garments were commonly worn under dresses or gowns to provide an additional layer of modesty and to protect the outerwear from sweat or dirt. Tuckers were particularly popular during the Victorian era and were often adorned with lace or embroidery for a more decorative appeal.
In addition to their functional purposes, tuckers were also considered a fashionable item of clothing. They were frequently worn by children and women of varying social classes, although the styles and embellishments may have differed depending on one's socioeconomic status.
Today, tuckers are largely seen as historical clothing artifacts and are not commonly worn in modern fashion. However, they continue to hold a place in the history of fashion and serve as a reminder of past styles and societal norms.
