Solution

French Revolution initiated a reform towards simple dresses which were without frills and which could be worn by the masses. Increased imports of Indian chintz in Europe made it possible for the masses to wear clothes which were cheaper, beautiful and easier to maintain. These were the major reasons which changed clothing patterns and materials in the eighteenth century.
