1.0

To be honest for the review, I stopped reading the book about 20% in. I was expecting more of a history of the modern suit (how it developed, etc.), not a long treatise on what fashion is. The author just kept talking in abstract terms about fashion, so I really couldn't get into the reading. The parts when she started describing specific clothes would have benefitted from more pictures. I don't know what a padded doublet is, or the difference between trousers and breeches.
