- What is an earthquake gown?
- Who wore eelskin masher trousers?
- What did the word "dudes" mean in the 16th century? "A Dictionary
of English Costume" by C. Willett Cunnington, Phillis Cunnington
and Charles Beard was originally published in 1960. A monumental
achievement and encyclopaedic in scope, it was a comprehensive
catalogue of fashion terms from the mid-medieval period up to 1900.
It was reissued and updated several times, for the last time in
1976. For decades it has served as a bible for costume historians.
"The Dictionary of Fashion History" completely updates and
supplements the Cunningtons' landmark work to bring it up to the
present day. Featuring additional terms and revised definitions,
this new edition represents an essential reference for costume
historians, students of fashion history, or anyone involved in
creating period costume for the theatre, film or television. It is
also fascinating reading for those simply interested in the
subject. Clear, concise, and meticulous in detail, this essential
reference answers countless questions relating to the history of
dress and adornment and promises to be a definitive guide for
generations to come.
