Rachel Worth explores ways in which clothing and how it is represented throws light on wider social and cultural aspects of society, as well as how 'traditional' styles of dress, like men's smock-frocks or women's sun-bonnets, came to be replaced by 'fashion'. Her compelling study, with black & white and colour illustrations, both adds a broader dimension to the history of dress by considering it within the social and cultural context of its time and discusses how clothing enriches our understanding of the social history of the Victorian period."--$cProvided by publisher. 517 3 $aWorking-class dress and rural life 606 $aClothing and dress$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWorking class$xClothing$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $2History of fashion 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xClothing$xHistory 676 $a391/.024 700 $aWorth$b Rachel$01057706 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 912 $a9910794926703321 996 $aClothing and landscape in Victorian England$93806311 997 $aUNINA
