Floral Frocks: The Floral Printed Dress from 1900 to Today by Jo Turney

Floral prints, motifs and designs are always in fashion, and never more so than when used as the fabric for an English summer dress. This work explores this unassuming cultural phenomenon from the beginning of the 20th century onwards. It also discusses in detail over fifty floral printed dresses with over 140 illustrations.
Dr Jo Turney has taught at Winchester School of Art (University of Southampton), Goldsmiths College (University of London) as well as the Wimbledon School of Art, the Arts Institute, Bournemouth and the Solent University.Rosemary Harden worked in the Victoria and Albert Museum before moving to the Museum of Costume, Bath where she has curated a number of exhibitions of historic dress including "Fashion in the Fifties" (2001) and "John Bates Fashion Designer" (2005).
