An excellent book showcasing Colonial Williamsburg's large collection of antique clothing worn by men, women, and children of all social levels in 18th-century America. Numerous color photographs of original articles of clothing (including elaborate frock coats and beautiful embroidered gowns), coupled with contemporary descriptions and accounts provided a greater understanding of clothing and ornamentation of this era. Articles of clothing examined include working clothes, coats, waistcoats, breeches, gowns, stays, aprons, gloves, hats, fans, shoes, stockings, and undergarments. This study allows the reader to examine the world of 18th-century clothing at an affordable cost..
