All Dressed Up - The Grammar of Western Clothing (English, French, Paperback)

As in a grammar book, this volume looks at the foundations and rules of the Western wardrobe. By exploring each garment with its functions that often called for extremely precise details, we have developed a teaching tool for the general public, using pieces from the author's enormous collection, to help understand the attraction and appeal of a specific garment. This fourth book groups together the typical garments of the Western woman's wardrobe - plus the man's kilt - in the order they appeared in Costume History. It includes not only dresses and skirts but also the lingerie and undergarments associated with them. Both an introductory book and a reference document on the culture of fashion, this fourth book in the series focuses on interior pieces: shirts, bodices, blouses, vests and waistcoats for women and men.
