Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book takes a new look at the history of dress, considering not just the clothes of the rich and fashionable, but also those of ordinary men and women. The changes in dress and how they came about over 130 years are examined in detail, particularly the influence of mass production, of social and artistic movements, and of political events such as the two world wars.
