Solid hardcover. ; "This book is not intended for consideration as a history of fashion, even of the short period of time it covers; rather, it is a review of the more grotesque and outstanding of the follies and foibles that Dame Fashipn has presented in the past seventy years - to show that clothes, even of the most absurd fashion, may be a vital part of life; that they react upon those who wear them for good or ill; and that there is hope that in some not-too-far-distant day we may be "clothed and inour right minds," even if we are not "the glass of fashion and the mold of form." - Preface ; Photographs; 240 pages.
