The Worldwide History of Dress by Patricia Rieff Anawalt
Here is the definitive costume book, embodying a wealth of research that is unlikely ever to be superseded. From the plant-fibre skirts of the Neolithic, Ancient Egyptian linen shifts and togas of the Classical Age, to 19th-century Tyrolean dirndls, contemporary African ceremonial attire and the Middle Eastern burqas of our own age, every notable geographical region, historical period and style of dress is covered. Complete with an extensive reference section, this book is a glorious celebration of ethnographic clothing and is destined to become the standard reference work.
Patricia Rieff Anawalt was an international authority on worldwide regional dress, and was Director Emerita of the Center for the Study of Regional Dress at the Fowler Museum, UCLA, Los Angeles. She is the author of The Worldwide History of Dress and Shamanic Regalia in the Far North.
