From Rags to Riches: A History of Girls' Clothing in America

48 pp. | Holiday | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1708-5 $16.95
(3) 4-6 This unusually engaging historical overview of girls' dress in America begins with the confining clothes of the Colonial period, which reflected beliefs about childhood at that time, and concludes with the relatively anarchic choices girls enjoy today. Most interesting of all: Sills analyzes many of the reproductions, archival images, and photos of contemporary kids that appear throughout. Directory, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
