Product Description

Synopsis
This visual history of costume covers all sections of 1940s and 1950s society in Britain. A brief text explains major fashion developments and gives the social background to change. It is designed for projects work, school plays and both drama and social history students. Each book is built up around fictitious families, tracing the major fashion developments of the period and comparing the clothing and lifestyle of the wealthy with those of people who cannot afford to dress fashionably.
