An unprecedented look at women s everyday clothes from Sylvia Plath
s Girl Scout uniform to psychedelic microminis, business suits, and
fast-food workers uniforms this fascinating volume shows how
American women from every background have lived, worked, and
dressed for 200 years. Groundbreaking in its focus on the everyday
clothing of ordinary American women a subject neglected in most
fashion histories Real Clothes, Real Lives highlights over 300
garments and accessories from the Smith College Historic Clothing
Collection. This unusual survey honors the lives of countless
anonymous women, tracing through the lens of dress how women s
roles have dramatically changed over the decades. Each piece holds
colorful stories about the woman who wore it, the one who made or
bought it, and her context in place and time. Whether homemade or
ready-made, many of the garments are modest and inexpensive. Some
are one-of-a-kind pieces; others are examples of clever making-do,
which seems particularly relevant today; and most reflect the
popular styles of their era. Among the many extraordinary examples
are a rare World War I uniform worn by an American woman working
behind enemy lines and a 1970s go-go dancer s costume. Exceptional
photography and rich archival visuals accompany the highly readable
texts, which offer a wealth of historical and social analysis of a
side of fashion and feminism rarely considered.
