When crinolines, bustles and ostrich feathers were the height of
colonial fashion. This richly illustrated and lively social history
explores the creation, consumption and spectacle of fashionable
dress in Aotearoa New Zealand from 1840 to the early 1900s.
Dressmakers were essential contributors to the development of New
Zealand, and as a colonial outpost of the British Empire, New
Zealands 19th century dress culture was heavily shaped by
international trends. Interactions with Maori, the demands of
settler lifestyle and the countrys geography all added another
layer. Dressed teems with the fascinating, busy lives of early
businesswomen, society women and civic figures. Featuring dresses
and fashionable accessories from museums throughout Aotearoa New
Zealand, and including over 270 images, this major book makes a
significant contribution to histories of colonial dress.
