Tracing the stylistic and functional threads that unite clothing across time and cultures this A-to-Z encyclopedia is the essential resource for exploring the relationship between culture and couture. This broad-based set examines the origins of clothing, the development of fabrics and technologies and the social meanings of dress. It also presents information on representative costumes from a wide variety of historical eras, which are frequently the topic of student research. Topics range from the bustle, sari and toga to polyester and body piercing. The set includes a comprehensive general index in the last volume, a timeline and a topical outline. From the secondary school student writing a paper on dress among Native Americans to the university student interested in the underpinnings of clothing design, this three-volume set represents a unique and valuable source.
