This accessible book provides readers with the tools to uncover the hidden stories in garments, setting out a carefully developed research methodology specific to dress, and providing easy-to-use checklists that guide the reader through the process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated, the book contains seven case studies of fashionable Western garments - ranging from an 1820s coat to a 2004 Kenzo jacket - that articulate the methodological framework for the process, illustrate the use of the checklists, and show how evidence from the garment itself can be used to corroborate theories of dress or fashion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book outlines a skillset that has, until now, typically been passed on informally.
