Produktbeschreibung

This classic book explores the changing shapes of women's dress from the 1500s to the 1920s, explaining the cyclical nature of these fashions, and how waists and skirts changed shape and size. Extracts from diaries, journals, poems and newspapers, and over 100 illustrations demonstrate the variety of this clothing throughout modern history.
