Children's Clothes since 1750 by Rose, Clare - 1989

London, United Kingdom: B.T. Batsford, 1989. Usual library marks. 160 pages with b/w illustrations. From the swaddling bands of the 17th century to the T shirts of the 1980's this book looks at childrens's clothes in their wildest possible context, relating them to changes in adult fashion, to new theories of childcare, and to new manufacturing methods. At the same time, it pays close attention to the garments themselves, examining when they were worn, and by whom, how much they cost, how they were made and cared for, and what their wearers thought of them. .
