What is a doublet? When was the bob first worn? Did ancient Roman women wear brassieres? And what was underneath all those big hoop skirts? Fashion Through the Ages is full of fabulous fashions... and much more! Lift the flaps to reveal the layers underneath - from loincloths to petticoats to corsets. Hats, handbags, hairdos and shoes of the time fill the borders of every page. Twelve detailed spreads introduce 3,000 years of fashion's highlights - from the Roman Empire to the 1960s. Double-sided gatefolds on each spread tell the history of the period and describe the fashions of the day. This book has everything the budding trendsetter should know.
