Just a few of the topics include: The constant problems of getting fabrics, such as wool, or cotton, in the late eighteenth centuries The types of clothes that slave men, women, and children were allowed to wea The beginnings of patterns and the mass production of clothing in the mid nineteenth century. The volume features numerous illustrations, helpful timelines, resource guides recommending websites, videos, and print publications, and extensive glossaries.
