Booklist Review
This revision of an edition published more than 10 years ago (Booklist 72:11 S 1 75) updates coverage to the mid-1980s. Ewing relates the evolution of women's fashion in this century in terms of fashion's move from being solely the concern of high society to being part of the life of everyone. Noting the intense sociological alterations brought about by two world wars, new fabrics, and innovative production techniques, Ewing documents with fond detail the turns fashion has taken in its descent from rarified heights. The text is well illustrated, though the black-and-white photos are not quite as stunning as one might have hoped. Bibliography and index.
