Summary
Here, in over 1,000 specially drawn illustrations, is the most comprehensive survey of children's costume ever published. John Peacock charts the development of every kind of clothing for boys and girls from Antiquity to the present. Reproduced in meticulous detail are a host of representative examples: medieval tunics, stockings nad fur-trimmed hats; exquisite seventeenth-century miniature gowns delicate printed cotton dresses and slippers from the nineteenth century; and the denim sportswear of our time. There are also special pages on hats and bonnets, accessories and baby clothes. The pictures are arranged in six chronological sections and accompanied by full descriptions that include details of fabrics, trimmings, headgear and footwear. An invaluable time chart summarizes the development of children's clothes throughout the centuries. This encyclopedic survey, with its colorful and detailed illustrations, will be an indispensable reference work for designers, historians and collectors. Includes 1,045 illustrations, 730 in color
