The Dress Detective is the first practical guide to analyzing
fashion objects, clearly demonstrating how their close analysis can
enhance and enrich interdisciplinary research. This accessible book
provides readers with the tools to uncover the hidden stories in
garments, setting out a carefully developed research methodology
specific to dress, and providing easy-to-use checklists that guide
the reader through the process. Beautifully illustrated, the book
contains seven case studies of fashionable Western garments -
ranging from an 1820s coat to a 2004 Kenzo jacket - that articulate
the methodological framework for the process, illustrate the use of
the checklists, and show how evidence from the garment itself can
be used to corroborate theories of dress or fashion. This book
outlines a skillset that has, until now, typically been passed on
informally. Written in plain language, it will give any budding
fashion historian, curator, or researcher the knowledge and
confidence to analyze the material in front of them effectively.
