Fantastic read that chronicles the way we dress. Starting with how it was way back when to how it has evolved into today. After a slow start, I really got into this book. The depth and scope of this subject is much more than meets the eye as the author unpacks the history. It is very interesting to think about this topic with a complex lens than to merely scoff or disregard old-fashioned views and fashions. To truly understand what went in to dressmaking and why it was so important is a thought that is all but lost on today’s clothes wearer. Hence, the book title.

I really enjoyed the author’s commentary and opinions dispersed throughout the book. With her breadth of knowledge on the subject, she surely has established credibility in this realm. I was especially interested to read that clothes can impart the values of wisdom, sophistication, dignity, and not just for fleeting “hotness.” Worth a read even if you aren’t into fashion. I would like the author to write another book exploring the history of men’s fashion.
