Siam in the 19th century covers the reigns of King Rama I to King Rama V. It was a century of royal court fashion transformation - from the preserving of Ayutthaya unstitched traditional costumes in the early period to the foreign inspired stitched costumes in the mid to end of the century. However the fashion of the Siamese Royal court of the period shows distinctive styles that combined traditional and foreign inspiration unknown elsewhere. The styles were influential to dignitaries in the regional provinces and territories under Siam at the time such as Cambodia and Chiang Mai etc. To understand ideas of combining the European styles to fit Siamese taste needs detail study of contemporary Western fashion as well as the relevant historical background of Siam.
