Summary:  "Fashion is ever-changing, and while some styles mark a dramatic departure from the past, many exhibit subtle differences from year to year that are not always easily identifiable. With overviews of each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, this is an authoritative visual guide to women's fashion across five centuries. Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time, whether in shape, fabric choice, trimming, or undergarments. Readers will learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history, as well as how dresses have varied in type, cut, detailing and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer. This lavishly illustrated book is for anyone who has ever wanted to know their cartridge pleats from their Récamier ruffles. All the information you need to 'read' a dress - a guide for students, researchers, and anyone interested in historical fashion. Lydia Edwards is a Lecturer at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia"--Provided by publisher.
