Most of the populace has no control over designer fashion: the length of skirts, how much blouses reveal, how feminine or un-feminine ready-to-wear outfits are, and the choice of colors and patterns. Designers prepare outfits for the populace, with the hope that the populace will reveal their wishes by purchasing or not purchasing their designs. The House of Eliott explores how the ready-to-wear industry began and the mass appeal that resulted. World War I introduced a new type of worker into the workforce: the female secretary. Female secretaries were smart, independent, and chic. They earned a middle-class living, which brought a new demand to the fashion world: affordable designer clothing and womens designer handbags. Coteries, like the House of Eliott, took their expensive designs and altered them to meet middle-class tastes. The intricate stitch work, flowing material, and expensive fabric of Coterie were replaced with ready-to-wear material, such as cotton. When the altered designs first arrived in department stores, ready-to-wear fashions were unique from one another, resulting in a lasting, mass enthusiasm. The House of Eliott recreates this world with a Coterie boldness and ready-to-wear flare in its own way, making it a Coterie of TV. drama.
