Synopsis

An illustrated, interactive introduction to fashion history for children, revealing the fascinating connections between clothing and culture

In this first book of fashion history for children, young readers will discover fabulous clothing and fashion trends worn by people past and present. Packed with extraordinary facts and eye-catching illustrations, the book reveals through a fun guessing game format why Elizabethan men stuffed their stockings, only certain people were allowed to wear red in the Ottoman Empire, and Marie Antoinette once wore a wig with a toy ship in it.

Featuring 10 high-interest periods including the Ancient Greeks, Early Iron Age Denmark, Tang Dynasty China, Elizabethan England, the French Revolution, Edo Era Japan, 1920s USA, and 1950s Ghana, Get Dressed! goes back in time to capture the fun of fashions' past, from the perfectly practical to the potentially perilous.

The book also includes a forward-looking spread on fashion's future, featuring designers known for their ground-breaking and sustainable approaches, such as Stella McCartney, Sami Miro, Tommy Hilfiger, and Vivienne Westwood.

Ages 5-8
