| Summary/Abstract |
This book looks at the way clothes, jewellery and hairstyles have developed from simple, regular shapes made from natural materials and dyestuffs, to short lived fashions and statements of status made from artificial fibres and plastics. There's a look at the traditional styles of the Britons and Celts, the foreign influences of the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans, working clothes through the ages, and the changing fashions of the rich and poor.
