About this product
Product Information
Through the centuries children's clothes have reflected the concerns of parents and the movements of fashion. The needs of the child, changing ideas on health and upbringing, evolving social attitudes and new technology, all find expression in their dress. Its development, and its changing relationship with contemporary adult dress, offer a revealing picture of the times. Though the identities of the children may not survive the clothes, each garment bears the imprint of a way of life. As well as studying surviving garments in depth, the author uses new evidence from letters, journals and accounts, and from paintings, sculptures and drawings, to give fresh insight into the clothes, their construction, and the world in which they were worn. AUTHOR: Anne Buck OBE is an international authority on English costume. As Keeper of the Gallery of English Costume at Platt Hall, Manchester, she built up a world-renowned collection which is particularly rich in children's clothing. She is the author of several books and articles on costume and dress and has lectured widely on the subject. SELLING POINTS: . An authoritative handbook providing fresh insight into the children's clothes and the their construction . Aimed at social historians, designers, theatrical costumiers and colleges . Superbly illustrated . Anne Buck is an international authority on English costume ILLUSTRATIONS: 7 colour 165 b/w
