(3) YA Albee comprehensively and conversationally examines how fashion has shaped history, and vice versa. Organized chronologically, the text explains how a trend or clothing item originated and what function it served, with numerous accompanying illustrations and photos; side boxes provide additional context (e.g., "How did [knights] go to the bathroom?"). A fascinating read for fashion and history aficionados. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
