Dress Sense explores the importance of the senses and emotions in
the way people dress, and how they attach value and significance to
clothing. Inspired by the work of Joanne B. Eicher, contributors
offer different multi-disciplinary perspectives on this key and
unexplored topic in dress and sensory anthropology. The essays
present historical, contemporary and global views, from British
imperial dress in India, to revolutionary Socialist dress. Issues
of body and identity are brought to the fore in the sexual power of
Ghanian women's waistbeads, the way cross-dressers feel about their
clothing, and how the latest three-dimensional body-scanning
technology affects people's perception of themselves and their
bodies. For students and researchers of dress and anthropology,
Dress Sense will be invaluable in understanding the cross-cultural,
emotional and sensual experience of dress and clothing.
