Reviews

I love this book, it is like an old friend. I have spent years with it. I cannot imagine using another textbook. It reads with ease and has you turning pages like a magazine. -- Ronnie Chamberlain, Northern Kentucky University, US The book is a good, clear survey of Euro-American dress and provides students with a good introduction to sources available to dress history, as well as some of the challenges and debates of historical research. -- Charlotte Nicklas, University of Brighton, UK This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of European/Western costume history and a substantial foundation for an introductory course. -- Susan Joudrey, Saint Mary's University, Canada The textbook is extremely well written. Students comment that they enjoy the visuals included in the book. -- Marianne Bickle, University of South Carolina, US Large, comprehensive, well researched. An easy book to design a course around. Although the book is large with much information, the students tend to like using it. -- Janice Kimmons, Lamar University, US
