Here is a great picture depicting the talented Madame Vionnet, known for introducing the bias cut in the 1920's. Her signature silhouette was a form-fitting look w/ dramatic draping effects. (link- http://www.luxchronicles.com)
This is an illustration showing various ways on how to wear a traditional egyptian robe with sash (about 1450 BC). As you can see, it can be interpreted and draped in a variety of ways creating different looks with one special cut fabric.
The various ways on how one can wear a traditional sari silk can be seen here in this painting created by a famous Indian painter named Ravi Varma. Sari silk (usually 4-9 meters) can be draped over the body in many different ways, but most common style is wrapped around the waist and draped over the shoulder, usually worn over petticoat.
TAILORED GARMENTS
Here is the original and famous "new look" established in 1947 by Christian Dior that was featured in his 1947 Spring/Summer fashion show. Harpers Bazaar named it the "new look" because they felt it was new and fresh to the fashion industry which they had yet to see until his fashion show. I consider this a tailored look because it definitely has structure in the silhouette/body.
The geisha apprentice girls depicted here dress slightly different from the geisha women whose title must be earned. The kimono and obi belt create so much structure because the layers of clothing that is underneath and how it is specifically and technically structured - it takes 15 components to create and design this particular type of garment! There is definitely structure in this! (Photo taken in Kyoto, Japan by photographer Michael Reeve March 26, 2004)
Here is a greek traditional military costume. In Athens, Greece they take this type of tradition very seriously and hold much respect and care when men wear this. There is definitely some type of structure in this in the way the men wear this and how body stands upright when wearing it.
