This practical guide to analysing fashion objects demonstrates how their close analysis can enhance and enrich interdisciplinary research. Through seven case studies, it provides readers with the tools to uncover the hidden stories in garments, setting out a carefully developed research methodology specific to dress and easy-to-use checklists that guide the reader through the process. - Subject Terms:
