| Book Description | In this classic book, Norah Waugh explores the changing shapes of women's dress from the 1500s to the 1920s. Simple laced bodices became corsets of cane, whale-bone and steel, while padding at shoulders and hips gave way to the structures of farthingales, hoops and bustles. Each section describes how these garments originated, how they became popular, and how they emerged as central to the fashions of the time. Extracts from diaries, journals, poems and newspapers, as well as over 100 illustrations demonstrate the variety of these ubiquitous items of clothing throughout modern history. |
| About the Author | Norah Waugh taught courses on historical costume at the Central School of Art and Design in London, as well as being head of the costume department at Michel Saint Denis' London Theatre Studio. Judith Dolan is a Distinguished Professor of Design at the University of California San Diego. Her costume designs for Harold Prince's production of Candide won a Tony Award in 1997. |
