A.   簡介 Introduction (within 100 words, Chinese or English)

英國女王依莉莎白一世和英國國王詹姆斯一世為了維持社會階級之穩定與社會秩序，多次通過立法，強制執行亨利八世、菲利浦二世與瑪麗女王在位時所制定之服裝法案(1523、1555)，嚴格規定不同性別與社會階級的穿著、行為與活動區域，因為自1570以降，社會階級，特別是仕紳與中產階級之間之流動越趨明顯，民眾越來越不遵守階級表現之分寸，使得女王再次制定服裝法案，命令人民不得僭越階級。伊莉莎白服裝法案對於研究文藝復興時期戲劇是相當重要的歷史文獻。

                        Greenwich 15 June 1574
The excess of apparel and the superfluity of unnecessary foreign wares thereto belonging now of late years is grown by sufferance to such an extremity that the manifest decay not only of a great part of the wealth of the whole realm generally is like to follow (by bringing into the realm such superfluities of silks, cloths of gold, silver and other most vain devices of so great cost for the quantity thereof, as of necessity the moneys and treasure of the realm is and must be yearly conveyed out of the same to answer the said excess), but also particularly the wasting and undoing of a great number of young gentlemen, otherwise serviceable, and others seeking by show of apparel to be esteemed as gentlemen, who, allured by the vain show of these things, do not only consume themselves, their goods and lands which their parents have left unto them, but also run into such debts and shifts as they cannot live out of danger of laws without attempting of unlawful acts, whereby they are not any ways serviceable to their country as otherwise they might be:
    Which great abuses, tending both to so manifest a decay of the wealth of the realm and to the ruin of a multitude of serviceable young men and gentlemen and of many good families, the Queen’s Majesty hath of her own princely wisdom so considered as she hath of late with great charge to her council commanded the same to be presently and speedily remedied both in her own court and in all other places of her realm, according to sundry good laws heretofore provided . . .
     Wherefore her Majesty willeth and straightly commandeth all manner of persons in all places within 12 days after the publication of this present proclamation to reform their apparel according to the tenor of certain articles and clauses taken out of the said statutes and with some moderations annexed to this proclamation, upon pain of her highness’s indignation and punibhsment for their contempts, and such other pains as in the said several statues be expressed.
