This volume is dedicated to clothes and accessories donned in the 19th century in Europe and in the US. This volume also addresses the question of fashion as it became known and practised by most social classes. References are made to the nineteenth-century theoreticians who saw fashion as a common denominator that 'democratised' people, while subtly creating a gap in time (higher classes invented what later lower classes copied) that maintained the established class division.
