Getting Dressed

Part of a series which looks to the turn of the century and Victorian times, with the help of reconstructions, contemporary photographs, objects and documents. A timeline shows important inventions and events and gives a sense of continuity. At the end of each book is a list of places to visit and practical advice on how to find out more. The children in this book try on clothes, hats and shoes which their great grandparents might have worn. They find out how clothes were made at the turn of the century and discover that getting dressed took much longer then.
