Due to the economic growth of the bourgeois class, their desire to resemble the aristocratic class, and the developments in the silk weaving technology, three-dimension effective large patterns and bright colours dominated textile products until the last quarter of the century. After the 1780s, the patterns reduced to linear forms with the effect of neoclassicism and the floral patterns disappeared, and the colours became simpler and turned into pastel tones. By means of the production increase of printed fabrics, a textile market has been formed which can be accessed by middle and lower class inexpensively.
