From the headgear of the ancient Greeks and Etruscans to
Elizabethan farthingales and modern footwear, this authoritative
resource presents a comprehensive history of clothing and
accessories. It covers every world culture with 650-plus entries in
alphabetical order that define and describe designs, materials,
accessories, and manufacturing techniques, placing them in
historical perspective and tracing the development of tastes and
the recurrence of motifs.
More than 2,100 black-and-white drawings include 110 full-page
plates of costume drawings, in addition to eight pages of color
illustrations. "Amazingly enough, there is an illustration for
almost every item," noted "Choice" magazine, adding, "the text is a
model for this type of reference work, a good summary for the
knowledgeable and a mine of information for the novice." A detailed
index makes it easy to locate garments from any era.
