The general principle of this book is excellent and provides a much-needed overview ... [It] is a perfect introduction to the world of dress history and provides a good stimulus for further study. For those with specialist knowledge of particular periods, it provides a quick and easily accessed reference for the main points of other periods.
This original, accessible take on fashion history is packed with color images, and each example garment annotated with terminology, key elements of the shape and construction, and other details of note.
Those looking for a detailed, object centered and carefully researched study of historic dress will find a satisfying, richly illustrated guide for looking at clothes.
Lydia Edwards's How to Read a Dress is a detailed, practical, and totally beautiful guide to the history of this particular form of clothing from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
The 'How to Read' series of books are perfect research guides for students, researchers and anyone with an interest in historical fashion.
Ultimately, this is an excellent book for scholars of fashion history, costume designers and makers, and really anyone looking to improve their ability to determine the period of a given dress.
This is a beautiful, well-written book. The photos are a joy to study, and I finished it wishing it were twice as long.
Exceptional . Lydia Edwards has created a visual masterpiece charting the development of women's fashion and underscoring the merits of integrating dress into historical studies more broadly. ... [A] detailed and beautiful reference work of women's garments over almost five centuries.
Using examples from lesser known international collections, this well-illustrated and informative book tracks the evolution of the dress through expert analysis and description. It will be an invaluable guide for anyone with an interest in dating and contextualizing the dress as a garment within the culture of fashion.
This appealing and accessible work offers a fresh perspective on fashion history from 1550 to 1970. Images of surviving garments from museums in Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States of America have been annotated to highlight and elucidate key fashionable details. This book would make an excellent companion toThe Dress Detective.
This book explores the realities of what we can and cannot know about a garment, particularly in terms of the why and when of its creation. The author's concept of the fluidity of time is critical to our better understanding of how individuals approach dress.
