About This Item
Stroud, Glos: The History Press, 2013. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 10 5/8" x 7 3/4", 247 pages, well illustrated in black and white and colour, illustrated endpapers, bibliography. The story of World War I women as told through their changing wardrobes, from silk stockings to factory wear. This history follows the revolution in women's lives and aspirations during the second decade of the 20th century, as reflected in costume and appearance. The book opens the wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the contrast between the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian womanhood and the gossamer gowns draped round her. It examines such contradictions as suffragettes battling social and legal restrictions while fashion literally hobbles women with narrow skirts and thigh-length corsets. Hb, as new in fine dw. .
