Why’d They Wear That? Fashion as a Mirror of History - ADVISABLE

Albee, Sarah Why’d They Wear That? Fashion as a Mirror of History, 192 p. National Geographic, 2015.  $20. 

What a fun away to look at history – through the fashion that clothes our bodies.  Pages and pages of full-color illustrations, plus snippets of information flood every page with interesting tidbits.  While the view is rather Euro-centric, the pictures, art, and photographs are still fascinating.
