Reviews

“With its references to previous literature, extensive footnotes, lengthy citations and discussions of future work, the publication reflects its genesis as a PhD and it makes a welcome addition to dress history, particularly to studies of the dress of working-class women and to all aspects of dress of the 1930s studies of retail.” (Christine Boydell, Costume, Vol. 57 (2), 2023)
