Clothes and the Child by Anne Buck Obe
Through the centuries children's clothes have reflected the concerns of parents and the movements of fashion. The needs of the child, changing ideas on health and upbringing, evolving social attitutes and new technology, all find expression in their dress. Its development, and its changing relationship with contemporary adult dress, offer a revealing picture of the times. Though the identities of the children may not survive the clothes, each garment bears the imprint of a way of life.
Clare Rose in Costume, No 31, 1997: '.a valuable addition to the literature on a too-little studied aspect of cotume history.. We are fortunate to have this work from one of the foremost authorities in the field.' Christine Stevens in Folk Life, Vol 35, 1996-7: '..yet another demonstration of the thorough scholarship which Anne Buck brings to any project.., ..written and presented in a way accessible to both the serious researcher and casual reader.. ..makes real progress in the.. field of children's costume studies.' Jo B Paoletti in Dress, Vol 23 1996: '..not only a welcome addition to the literature on children's clothing, but dress in general.'
