With overviews of each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, How to read a dress is an authoritative visual guide to women's fashion across five centuries. Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time, whether in shape, fabric choice, trimming, or undergarments. Readers will learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history -- as well as how dresses have varied in type, cut, detailing and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer. This lavishly illustrated book is the ideal tool for anyone who has ever wanted to know their cartridge pleats from their Re?camier ruffles. Equipping the reader with all the information they need to 'read' a dress, this is the ultimate guide for students, researchers, and anyone interested in historical fashion"--Publisher's description. 606 $aWomen's clothing$xHistory 606 $aFashion$xHistory 606 $aFashion & textiles: design$2bicssc 615 0$aWomen's clothing$xHistory. 615 0$aFashion$xHistory. 615 7$aFashion & textiles: design 676 $a391/.2 700 $aEdwards$b Lydia$g(Lydia Jenny),$01221329 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151747203321 996 $aHow to read a dress$92834924 997 $aUNINA
