Get Dressed

In this book of fashion history, young readers will discover fabulous clothing and fashion trends worn by people past and present. Packed with extraordinary facts and eye-catching illustrations, the book reveals through a fun guessing game format why Elizabethan men stuffed their stockings, only certain people were allowed to wear red in the Ottoman Empire, and Marie Antoinette once wore a wig with a toy ship. Featuring 10 high-interest periods including the Ancient Greeks, Edo Era Japan, and 1950s Ghana, this book goes back in time to capture the fun of fashions past, from the perfectly practical to the potentially perilous. It also includes a forward-looking spread on fashion’s future, featuring designers known for their ground-breaking and sustainable approaches.
